Branch of National Council
of Catholics Will be
Formed
TO BE GENERAL
IN ITS SCOPE

Nearly one thousand Catholic wo-
men attended a meeting in the Play
house last evening at which the pro-
posed organization Of a National
Council Of Catholic Women was ex-
planned. All signed pledge cards
following the meeting.
Mary A. Moran, a diocesan rep
resentative OF the national organiza-
ton. called the meeting 10 order
The meeting was addressed by Mrs
Harry A. Benzlnger, provincial direc-
tor Of the national organization OF
Baltimore; Miss Agnes G. Regan,
executive secretary Of the National
Council Of Catholic Women, with
headquarters in Washington, d. c.
the Rev. James NJ. Grant, Of st.
Patrick's r. C. Church, and NJ. ].
Slauery. executive secretary Of the
National Council Of Catholic Men.
The Rev. J. j. Burke, c. S. p. was
unable 10 be present because Of the
recent death of his mother. The Rt.
Rev. John J. Monaghan, Bishop OF
Wilmington. sent a letter Of encour-
agement.
The program comprised music by
Carney and Banks orchestra, who
volunteered for the occasion; vocal
solos by Miss Grace Kavanaugh.
Mrs. Lillian Collins. Miss Nan
Walsh. and a quartet composed OF
Mrs Elizabeth r. Lally, Mrs. Flor
ence Powers, Joseph McCullen and
Matthew Petticrew. The accompani-
ments were played by Miss Grace
Geisier.
Miss Regan gave an inspiring talk
on the objects OF the organization.
She pointed out what she termed
the failure OF the Catholic women TO
take part 10 their heighest advan-
tage in numerous public affairs. She
told Of the work done during the
war by the Catholic organizations,
especially those composed OF women.
The organization. she said, is not
intended to bring in any new thing,
it is merely intended to coordinate
the many agencies OF work among
Catholic women and men already
organized. The need OF this larger
organization, she said, has come
about partly as a result OF the re-
cent war. for It opened the eyes Of
the leaders among Catholic women
to a larger conception OF their civic
and social obligations
1t is not intended TO devote atten-
tion TO any one branch Of work, il
was pointed out. 1t is hoped thai
by bringing together existing agen.
cies through which work Of all lSindl
is being carried on. better results
may be obtained. at is co-opera
tion." she said, that is neede'
among our organizations"
She explained that with a we'll
developed National Council o
Catholic Women, it would be posi-
Bile 10 undertake larger things thar
formerly could have been carrie,
on under some single small organi
zation and especially TO perpetual,
some OF the work undertaken by
Catholic organizations during tn,
war.
It was pointed out by Miss Regar
and Mrs. Benzinger and by Mr.. Slat
terry that the clergy were heartily II
favor Of the organization and thi
idea was strongly presented by Rev
Grant Mr..slattery said the mem
organization had been doing fin
work and that he expected splendi,
results from the women's organiza
iion.

served forlPresdent and Party at Atlantic City
Ocean Trip on Mayfower Probable After
Three Day Stay in Jersey Resort.

ATLANTIC CRY, Sept. 10.--UnusualIy
large week end crowds thronged the
boardwalk tonight waiting for Presi-
dent Harding and his party, which
Will include Under Secretary of State
Fletcher and Secretary OF Commerce
Hoover. and will arrive here from
Washington. The President, motoring
from Washington. reached Philadel-
phia at 7:15 o'clock after a five hour
ride and had dinner at one of the big
hotels there.
After dinner the President resumed
his journey. leaving Philadelphia at
$3.50 p. M. and crossing the Delaware
River on a ferry for the last leg OF
the trip. The run from Philadelphia
to Atlantic City usually requires about
two hours.
The run from washington to PhiIa-
delphia was made under pleasant skies
and without particular incident. Oc-
casionaily the party was recognized
by persons along the road, and the
President cordially acknowledged the
greetings. At Belair, Md. the motor
cars of the party were halted to allow
the crossing Of tiny kitten which
was in the middle of the road. The
kitten stared curiously at the big
cars. but walked slowly and with ex-
ceeding dignity across the road. un-
mindful of the fact that the President
shouted to it to get out of the way.
The Presidential yacht Mayfower
left Washington about the time the
President started, and it is under
stood that if the weather is favorable
Mr.. Harding may go for short cruise
after his visit here. He plans TO stay
in Atlantic City three days.

At 9 o'clock twenty bodies had been
taken 10 the morgue. As the bodies
were carried in men. women and chill

death. No one knew who had died. No
one knew who had been injured.
Mothers were there who believed tnsfr
children had been at or near the scene.
Sisters and brothers sought one an

children their parents. The crowd
grew beyond all proportion. All were
told to wait for short while before

Elaborate preparations were made
at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel for the
President and his party. The entire
fifth floor has been shut off and a pri-
vate elevator has been assigned to the
suite. The Presidents personal ac-
commodations include an entire double
suite fronting the ocean. Other mem
bers of the party have been assigned
to adjoining suites.
When it was decided that the Presj-
dent should have the fifth floor those
occupying suites were acquainted with
the facts and graciously accepted the
requests to move.
A solid gold table service OF 1000
pieces was taken from the hotel strong
box for the use of the party. An or
chestra for the exclusive entertain

provided and automobiles, roller chairs
and an airplane have been reserved

The body was found few feet be-

the double murder was committed.
Scars and mutiliations similar to
those which appeared on the body of
Daugherty when it was dragged from
the Desplaines River covered Ausmus's
head and shoulders, but Coroner's ply
sicians stated that the blows which
caused these wounds did not cause
death. The garment forced into his
throat and the twist of cord about
his neck killed him when blows with
a club had failed. His neck was broken,
but death was caused by suffocation,
the Coroner said.
The victims wrist watch had stopped
