POLICE ATTEND IN BODY
EDIFYlNG EXAMPLE GIVEN BY
NEW YORK OFFICERS.

Three thousand policemen, nearly
one-third of the entire police force of
New York City, assembled at st. Pat
rick's cathedral at the s o'clock Mass
on Sunday morning for tl1eir annual
Communion under the auspices of the
Police Department Holy Name socie-
ty. The number in attendance at the
Mass is all the more remarkable when
it is realized that in the entire city
there are but 1000 policemen, and
those present represented only the
Holy Name members living in Man
haitian and the Bronx. Again, only
fifty per cent Of the Catholic patrol
men on duty we're excused, so that
they could attend the Mass.
The Mass was celebrated by His
Grace the Most Reverend Archbishop
Hayes, who has very warm affection
for the New York policemen.

new YORK CHARITIES
ANNUAL APPEAL TO BE MADE
APRIL 80 TO MAY 6.

At meeting in Cathedral College,
last week, Archbishop Hayes of New
York addressed 800 pastors on the
work done since the Catholic charities
of the archdiocese were organized in
1920 and outlined plans for this years
appeal, which will be made from April
80 to May 6.
In discussing this appeal, which
will not be drive but an organized
collection of parishes, His Grace said:
I'VE are not trying to do anything
spectacular, but we want. to do our
charitable work on a scale worthy of
New York. / am more anxious for
organization than sums of money. Or
ganization produces big results-it
spreads the responsibility and does
not place the burden on few"

| Chapter OF Olmutz, which has the
right OF election and ardently desired
| TO nave a son of the diocese as it's
Archbishop. To this request the Holy
See acceded.
All that has been said of the lux
ury with which the Cardinal was sur
rounded, of his wealth, of his sumptu.
Gus retinue, is absolutely false. He
mas always lived the simplest of lives.

His present position is modest enough.
lie has pension of 1000 francs a
month; and he lives in two small
rooms in his brothers house, part of
which has been occupied by poor peo-
pie of the district.
"As to the private life of the Car
dinal, everyone here knows that it has
always been most edifying and wor-
thy. His Eminence was holy priest,
and he is a holy Bishop and Prince of
the Church, and as such he is known
by all. His piety is the admiration of
everybody, and the delicacy of his con-
science touches scfupulousness.
With regard to the Cardinals abb
sence from the conclave, that is easi-
ly explained from the fact that in
1918, after presiding at the conference
of the Czecho-Slovak Bishops, he was
the victim of a serious motor car ac-
cident. He was picked up uncon-
sciOuS, with injuries in various parts
of the body, especially the legs. Since
then, the Cardinal is obliged to go
about on crutches and he has to say
Mass sitting. Different cures have
been tried without avail.
Resigns His See.
Last year, feeling that the state of
his health did not permit him to care
for his vast diocese of two million peO-
pie, the Cardinal twice petitioned the
Holy Father to be released from his
position. The Pope finally acceded
unwillingly to the request. Since
then, His Eminence has been living
in the country house of one of his
brothers at Schoenpriesen, near Aus
sig. IN Selisia. He has never left this
house since then. After the death of
Benedict XIV, the Cardinal made
known to Rome his invalid condition,
added to the fact that he at that time
suffered from influenza. Hence his abb
sence from the conclave.
These then are the accusations of
an irresponsible journalist and the an
swer of an official authority, the Pope's
personal representative in the Cardi-
nails own country. The nuncio adds
that in Czecho-Slovakia "all good men
are indignant at this story, and that
replies have appeared in all the Cath
olic papers.

Bishop Gallagher of Detroit has

Last Sunday, the St. Paul Daily
News carried a syndicate article that
is gross libel on the character of a
Venerated prelate of the Catholic
Church in Czecho-Slovakia. The arti
Gle in question is from the pen of one
Isaac Arnstein, and it purports to dis.
close the "spicey" details of the life
of Cardinal Skrbensky, formerly Arch.
bishop of Prague and Olmutz.
The Charges.
Briefly, Arnstein makes the follow.
ing accusations:
That the Cardinal was an intimate
friend of the Austrian court and was
forced" on Rome, as the Vatican was
afraid of the royal family;
That he had been a gay" rounder
from his youth and took up holy Or
ders to advance himself socially;
That he kept hundred servants in
a sumptuous palace, gave wild par
ties, in which the nobility participated
and girls were gathered from the coun-
tryside for the pleasure of the merry
makers;
That he had an immense income
which he squandered lavishly on his
pleasures, leaving many creditors un-
paid and afraid to sue on account of
his standing at court;
That he consorted with the lowest
types of men and women;
That he realized all was lost when
the empire fell, and hence that he
disappeared and was only recently
found in an obscure hamlet in Swift
zerland;
That on account of his scandalous
life he was afraid to appear in Rome
for the recent conclave, etc.
The Answer.
Now, it seems that this Infamous
diatribe first appeared in the London
Daily Express of March 6, and was
then run in the New York Herald of
March 7g. The st. Paul Daily News
took it from a syndicate.
The truth has been given out by an
official authority, Archbishop Clement
Micara, Nuncio Apostolic to Czecho-
Slovakia, in a long letter to Cardinal
Bourne. of London. The Nuncio's let
ter is dated Prague, March Is, 1922.
The substance is as follows:

The Decree.
"On the occasion of the recent Con-
clave in which by the mysterious coun-
sci of Divine Providence, and owing to
no merit of Ours, We were raised to
the Throne of the Universal Church,
all that relates to the vacancy of the
Apostolic See and to the election of
the Roman Pontiff was executed ac-
cording to the Apostolic Constitution
that Our predecessor of Holy mem
Ory published on December 25, 1904.
But Our Venerable Brother Cardinals
of Holy Roman Church in their daily
meetings, called General Preparatory
Congregations manifested the desire
that in future some points of that
Constitution should be changed in the
manner needed by certain conditions
and the times. Therefore, having
carefully considered each point. with
the ample faculties of Our Apostolic
Power, by Motu Proprio and with full
knowledge, We decree and order as

that eighteen days having elapsed at

man. What follows concerning the at

mails, also remains unchanged.
iii. We further modify the law
contained in the Constitution of Plus

City of Portland. There is liable to
part of milk inspectors to overlook
the fundamentals of the subject and
going wandering into higher mathe-
mates. 1t is q good plan to keep
your head high, your ears and eyes
open, but keep your feet on the
ground.
"The first question is whoee bust
ness it is to regulate the milk supply.
I think you will find that the statutes
clearly gives the right to do this to
boards of health.
I'm considering an ideal set of
municipal regulations to govern milk,
its sale and distribution the regula-
tons for production. handling, trans
portation and sale should be clearly
and infinitely defined by statute.
There should be q definite set of
rules governing the source of milk
production. tending towards making
healthy. clean premises, kept under
sanitary conditions. And in this re-
spect it cannot too strongly be en-
phasized that persons handling milk
AZ its source must be clean and
healthy as well as the animals from
. which they secure their milk. There
! il much more chance for infection
! from an unhealthy person handling
! milk than there is from the animal
! itself.
| Pure water should be insisted
! upon, and hot. water should be de-
manded wherever it is possible to OBJ
/ tain it. The time of cooling should
be regulated so that the milk is taken
/ directly from the CT to the cooling
place before it has a chance to be-
! come contaminated. Theoretically, Of
course, the only safe milk is that pro-
i duced under the best possible corSdi-
: lions and then at once pasteurized.
Labelling and dating each bottle
7 sold has proved of benefit to the user
Of milk, and I personally favor the
/. granting of local licenses as a method
! Of raising the standard of milk sup
plies in the towns and cities of our
