Stoddard read his report for the year,
which is reprinted in part in this is
sue.
Monday Afternoon
Chairman Carl C. Mayhew Of the
committee on credentials presented
his report. Basing on the number of
delegates to which each post was en-
titled and the number actually sent,
Yuma made the best showing, being
entitled to four delegates and having
IL here, an attendance of 800 per cent
Prescott came next with IL delegates
and % attendance, or 200 per cent.
The delegate vote present was 125,
with 6 additional for the department
committeeman and two proxies, a
grand total of 1873 votes. This did not
indicate the attendance, however, as In
some cases there were more than one
delegates to each vote; in other words,
in some instances each delegate from
a post had only fraction of vote.
The Yuma post was declared to
have won the big trophy cup, offered
by the department of the state to the
post that showed the highest rating
considering PERCENTAGE of membership
increase during the year and best at
tendance at the convention here. Yu-
ma won on both counts, both having
shown the greatest membership In
crease and greatest comparative at
tendance.
During the morning session the Yu-
ma post advocated considering also
the distance travelled to the convention
in awarding the cup. Had this policy
been adopted, the Yuma post would
have been winner on this point also,
having travelled farther to get here
than any other post in the state.
Ernest A. Love post of Prescott was
second on each count in the trophy
contest.
Prescott was quick to do the hand
some thing as soon as the result of
the contest was announced, Command
er Baker of that post offering hearty
congratulations to the winning post,
whereupon Commander Stoddard had
him come to the stage and present the
cup to DR.. Newton, commander of the
Yuma post. The latter made a neat
speech of acceptance in which he said
the seventy or SO members his post
had added in the last few months is
only a start on what they expect to
do before they get through.

Moscow was informed of it by tele-
graph after the event. Some of the
Ekaterinburg revolutionists declare
that Moscow at first sharply rebuked
the Ural council, but later accepted
the reasons given for independent ac-
ton.
The correspondent further inYesti-
gated persistent reports that Tatiana,
the cars second daughter, escaped.
Many persons in Ekaterirblrg believe
this implicitly and even some OF the
communists think it true. Various
tales of how she got away were tnl,l.
the favorite one being that she Was
never brought from Tobolsk. bnr es-
capped into China with an officer.
These tales were so full OF confradic-
tons and falsehoods as to be nnwor-

prisoners, states that TO his personal

stated in the commission Saturday.
The road will be over $50 miles in

The application was filed by Dallas

While on a tour Of inspection of the
Rio Grande Valley, Railroad Commits
sioner Majors made an inspection Of
the territory included in the proposed

The large exodus of Americans from

This would be u serious blow at in

is strong argument for assisting

The business restoration committee
expects to have sufficient information
within a week to submit a survey Of
facts to Ambassador Woods, who will
then forward such data to Washing

Omsk, Russia, Sept, 29.-Wh;,e in
Ekaterinburg, the writer closely inves-

Jakovlev had treated the family
with much consideration. but the Ural
council inaugurated strict regime
and forbade the prisoners 70 converse
with their guards. TIL; + effects were

The remainder of the family came
to Ekaterinburg soon after. Tho Mos

That body decided upon the death of

Brownsville Priest Says
Graves of Americans Are
Well Kept and Gene
teries Beautified -Ha S
Been in France and Eng
land Consecrating Last
Resting Places Of Heroes.

Brownsville, Tex, Sept. 28.-"Over
$4,000 American heroes are buried in
| the eight American cemeteries across
the Atlantic, six of which are in
France, and one each in England and
Belgium, and the manner n which the
American government is caring for its
struggle against the hosts of Germany
should make every American feel
proud" was the statement of Rev.
Father Jean B. Frigon, o. NJ. L., of
Brownsville, who returned last week
from France, where he has consecrated
over 1000 graves of Catholic soldiers
who fell in the World War and now
lie buried in foreign soil.
Father Frigon served the country
as an army chaplain during the
World War, and in 1922 was delegated
by the National Catholic Welfare
Council to consecrate the graves of
American soldiers buried in the battle
fields of France and Belgium.
The object of the National Catholic
Welfare Council is to give the rela-
tives of the heroic boys who sleep
lover there" with their army comrades,
the comfort of knowing that every
Catholic grave has been consecrated
by the church.
Father Frigon made his first trip for
this purpose across the Atlantic last
year, and returned to France again
this summer.
The work will require at least an
other year, and he expects to again
leave for France and Belgium in the
spring.
The work has created deep impress
sion in Europe as a beautiful mani
festation of the Catholic faith, COM
ing from America, and has been a
great factor in demonstrating to the
French and Belgians that Americas
religious precepts are as deeply rooted
as those of Europe.
Organizes French Committee.
Father Frigon is native of the
Canadian province of Quebec and
French is his mother tongue.
He was assigned to the pastorate at
Brownsville 30 years ago, and has
tAhSN "a oNtfS part III dlluiES VI
the church in South Texas.
His knowledge of French served him
excellently in his work across the
Atlantic, and one Of his first acts upon
arriving in France last year was to
organize committee of five French
priests to assist him in the work.
Much interest has been manifested
by the chuIckmen of France in what
the Holy Father termed "the great
pilgrimage, and Father Frigon has
! not lacked for cooperation from the
church or state Both American and
French army officers extended all
possible assistance and on all his
trips to the cemeteries has was ac-
companied by officers of both the
French and American armies. who as
sisted him in finding the graves it
was his duty TO consecrate.
Many Graves Not Listed.
Owing TO the fact that the army
records in no case designate the re.
ligious affiliation of a soldier. much
difficulty has been encountered in Sc
curing list Of the Catholic graves.
''The historical records of the Ma
tional Catholic Welfare Council are
far from complete" Father Frigon
said. ''and it is manifestly the duty
Of the Catholics of the United States
TO assist in completing them in order
