CARDINAL GIBBONS DEAD

James Cardinal Gibbons, one OF
the most beloved of all the great
personalities of modern times,
whose career was among the
most striking and beautiful IN
ecclesiastical history, died at his
home in Baltimore on Thursday
of last week. The Cardinal was in
his S7th year, and while his
death sent O shock of sorrow
and bereavement around the
world, it was expected. 1t
came as direct result of a break
down of the physicalsystem due
to the infrmities of age and was
mercifully devoid of poignant
suffering. He died as he had
lived, peacefully and quietly.
So gradual did the final stage of
of his illness develop that he
slipped into the Great Silence
almost imperceptibly.
Up until last autumn, the
Cardinal seemed to defy all the
physical rules pertaining to a
man who had almost reached the
90-mark. His energies were ap-
parentlv Unaffected. He con-
Quoted til 5trenuous duties f
the diocesa. and attended to the
myriad details pertaining to his
, high office, with the celebrity and
vigor of one of 20 years his jun
ior.
Cardinal Gibbons death was
a great shock to clergymen and
pastors of other denominations,
who held him in high esteem as
churchmen and man. Bishop
John Gardiner Murray of Hthe
Protestant Episcopal Diocese of
Maryland said:
THE transfer of James Car
dinal Gibbons to a higher sphere
of activity removes from the
stage of current human events
the most prominent figure there
onsin our country land probably
in the World) during the last
half-century.
No other man in all that time
has participated so fully in the
universal affairs of the world as
has this good, able Cardinal.
Certainly no contemporary has
contributed quite so much to the
history Of American life in all
its various departments.
"As a man, he was firm and
steadfast in his plea for the sane
tity of the home; was warm in
his friendships, simple in his
habits, pure in his conduct and
pious in his every relationship
with others.
AS a citizen he was true
patriot, a wise statesman whose
counsel was ever sought by all
political leaders and a noble type
of constructive, progressive
American manhood.
'As deacon, priest, bishop and
cardinal in the church of his an
cestry and choice, by virtue of
his ability, sincerity, learning.
and intelligent, patient, perse-
vering labors, he was a recogniz-
ed leader in every capacity, by
the people of all communions.
1t would be difficult to con-
ceive of any human being living
a more perfect life in the high
position occupied by Cardinal
Gibbons, in the midst of the stir
ring events and troublous times
of tn wears of his prominent

disappeared from Philadelphia
Following a "hunch." Shenderoff
came to Washington, where he knew
his bride had relatives. Here he con-
suited a fortune-teller. Just what
the seeress told him. Shenderoff will
not reveal, but Immediately on leav-

street car. He rode to the end OF the
line without result. but on the return
trip as the car stopped at res

car.
STEWART GETS THIRD SHOCK.
Shenderoff again proved his ability

her flight with her father was a mis-
take. 1t was but the matter OF a few
minutes then for the jubilant bride

a telegram was dispatched to Papa
Stewart to give him his third and
probably most severe shock, since ne
thought she was gathering trous-
seau to wed a staid Washington

Vigorous protest against any
change in the conduct of the motion
picture industry in this city" is
made in the current issue of The
Trades Unionist. official organ of the
Central Labor Union, affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor
and Building Trades Council of the

The Unionist declares the censor
ship move is a reflection upon motion
picture theater proprietors and the
movie patrons as well. A represen-
tative of the Central Labor Union
will attend the censorship hearing
in the District building next Mon
day afternoon to lodge protests.
TEXT OF EDITORIAL.
The editorial in the Unionist fol-
lows:
THE Commissioners OF the Dis
trict are to hold a hearing on the
question of the appointment of a
special board to supervise the films
shown In the various motion-picture o
houses in this city.
"We would not find any fault with
those desiring such action were the
need necessary, but when one con-
siders the fact that we now have
| upon by the police department., we
fail to see the need for special
board for the performance of this
| work. We also resent the imputa-
tion which this request embodies-
that there is any need for this spe-
cial board-as it implies that i'm
proper pictures are now being shown
| which is not only reflection upon
our police department, but also upon
our motion picture theater proprie-
tors. as well as a reflection upon the
patrons.
1--WE hesitate to form undue
| suspicious, but experience has taught
us to be ever on our guard against
covert attempts to curtail our liber-
ties under the guise of public mo-
rality, and so we are prone to believe
| that this is an attempt at an entering
wedge, having for its final object the
closing of picture theaters on Sun
days.
1--WE have expressed ourselves on
this subject before. and our views
have not undergone any change, and
we wish to reiterate and say that not
only are the pictures shown in this
city up to the highest standard from

Washington merchants and busi-

selves as pleased at the possible
selection of Camp Meade as the
site for the engineer plant Of the
Army Air Service.

here from Dayton. Ohio. the present
site OF the engineering plant OF the
air service.
Camp Meade will be examined
within the next few days. according

air service. He also states that two
additional sites in Maryland are be-
ing considered for the plant, which
Will soon be moved from Dayton.
INDICATIVE OF CHOICE.
Three sites on the w. B. & A. have
been suggested to Gen. Menoher, but
the fact that he will inspect Camp
Meade first is Indicative, IL In said,
that this site will be decided upon.
"The Camp Meade suggestion Is OF
interest, and 1 am arranging for an
examinati ion of the camp within a few
days" General Menohor said.
1t is also pointed out that Meade
