For Levi p. Morton
Held at Cathedral
Elihu Root, DR.. Robbins and
DIR. Slattery Eulogize Late
Statesman and Banker;
Point Lessons in Career

Elihu Root and others paid tribute
to the late Levi P. Morton, Vice-Presi-
dent Of the United States and Cover
nor of the State Of New York, at me-
mortal services held yesterday at the
Cathedral of St. John the Divine.
The memorial sermon was preached by
the Rev. DR.. Charles L. Slattery, rector
Of Grace Church, of which Mr.. Morton
was for many years a member. The
Rev. DR.. Howard c. Robbins, dean of
the cathedral, paid tribute to Mr.. Nor
totn. There was special musical
service.
Mr.. Root, reviewing briefly Mr.. Nor
tons rise from poor boy in Vermont
to one of the leading bankers of the
world, said that his promotion was not
due to the aid of powerful friends, nor
to accident, but to the sterling quail
ties in the man.
Mr.. Morton was not an orator nor
writer, Mr.. Root pointed out, and
had no great gift of genius. He was
Of his rise was gained by pulling down
another He had extraordinary gifts
of application and industry, and also
the faculty Of judgment.
He was wise man." said Mr.. Root
"and he was just and kindly man
To him the conception of justice was
not to himself alone. but to others. His
idea was that justice was not a priv
llege to be claimed, but duty to be
performed. He was q lover of liberty
He was free from the almost wide
spread vice of tyranny. l never knew
him to say word or to do an act
that would wound the feelings of an
other. He was the embodiment Of in
tegrity and dignity as Vice-Presideni
and Governor, and through him tbs
standard OF public service was raised
He had the spirit of a loyal friend
neighbor and citizen, and Of usefu
public servant"
DR.. Slattery gave a brief sketch OF
Mr.. Morton's career and told how, when
Mr.. Morton failed as banker during
the Civil War because of the heavy
credit he had given the South, he after,
ward invited his creditors to dinner
and his guests found checks at THEN
plates covering all that was due them
Dr.. Robbins spoke of Mr.. Morton:
gift of q choir to the Cathedral. Thi.
gift. he said, had FASTENED by many
years the use of the Cathedral as &
place of worship.

senting that company arrived in New

a conference between Mr.. Spoor and a
group of European bankers who are
seeking to buy into the cinema
business.
Explaining this discovery, which, it
is calculated, will revolutionize pho-
Biography of all kinds, Mr.. Coan said:
Science teaches that the reason we
see things in relief is because we have
two eyes set at parallax of about
two and q quarter inches, and that
when we look at objects the light rays
form a certain angle between the OBJ
Ject focused upon and our eyes. Ap-
plying this well-known fact Mr.. Spoor
and P. John Berggren, a Swedish sci

took seven years to get the answer. but
it was worth it.
Not only does it mean that in future

though on stage, but it means that

Archbishop Hayes Praises
Catholic Welfare Council
Speakers at Inaugural Rally
Urge Support of Movement
and Varied Activities

Archbishop Patrick J. Hayes and the
Rev John ]. Burke, c. s. P, general
secretary of the National Catholic
Welfare Council, spoke at the inaugu-
raj meeting of the New York Arch
diocesan Branch of the National Coun-
ell of Catholic Women at the Forty
eighth Street Theatre yesterday after
noon.
II will do all I can to promote this
movement" said Archbishop Hayes,
"for we as Catholics have a contribu-
ton to give to our beloved country
which is beyond any gift of mere aecu-
lar education or wealth Of material
service-that is the spiritual contribu-
ton of our faith and Of cur personal
service to Christ. To make that our
contribution to the traditions, the in
situations and the social welfare of
our country is to give what is above
all worth. We gave it freely and glori-
ously during the war, and will give it
generously and zealously in the days
of peace"
Father Burke made plea for better
support of the Catholic press. He ex-
planned that the Catholic Council was
organized during the war. One Of it's
activities is to keep account of every
piece Of legislation, religious, social.
moral and educational, introduced at
Washington.
Miss Agnes G. Regain, secretary Of
the National Council Of Catholic
Womef, spoke Of national activities Of
Catholic organizations. Miss Theresa
O'Donohue introduced Archbishop
Hayes, who introduced Father Burke.

Colby Invited Argentine
President to Visit u. S.

BUENOS AYRES, Jan. e.-President
lrigoyen has been invited by Secretary
Of State Colby, in President Wilson'S
name, to pay visit TO the United
States, says La Epoca, the government
organ, which sees in the invitation
great significance in view Of the policy
pursued by Argentina during the war
and her recent withdrawal from the
Geneva meeting of the League Of Ma
tions.
Although President Irfgoyen was un-
able to accept the invitation, says the
newspaper, the fact of its extension
shows the respect inspired at Wash
ington by Argentina's vigorous and
original foreign policy. 1t signifies a
spontaneous recognition of the high
place which Argentina has attained in
the New World and the necessity of
seeking its collaboration in the orien-
tstion Of future pan American poll
cies."
La Epoca also points to wireless ex-
changes between Secretary Colby and
President Irigoyen in which the Presi-
dent said:
THE messages from the great Ameri-
can people and from your great Presi-
dent, which you have 80 lucidly ex-
pressed, and the coincidence in all the
ideals which we have discussed pro-
duce in my mind a deep conviction Of
most effective harmony in the COM
munity OF our nations"
