The $50 workers who have been
making elaborate arrangements for
the Holy Name convention which
starts here Thursday. are making a
whirlwind wind-up for the greatest
celebration in the history of the
society in this country in celebration
Of the 650th anniversary of its
foundation.
The big public feature of the cele-
bration will be the parade next Sun
day and every indication that has
reached the convention headquarters
shows that by very conservative cs-
Inmates there will be upwards of
1000 marchers Last-minute reServa-
tion at hotels, garages and anywhere
throughout the city that rooms can
be secured are keeping special COM
mittee feverishly busy.
The big convention hall in the
Catholic University gymnasium has
been decorated for the business meet
ings of the convention and for the
special reception in honor of Cardinal
O'Connell, who is the personal repre-
sentative of the Pope. In the new
stadium at Catholic University an
altar has been erected, at which Car
dinal Dougherty of Philadelphia will
celebrate the pontifical mass on Sat
urday, which, it is expected, will be
attended by the largest throng ever
assembled on the university grounds
numbering tens Of thousands.
Arrangements Approved.
These preparations were inspected
yesterday by the executive commit
te. which pronounced the Washing
ton arrangements for the big conven-
tion perfect" Very Rev. NJ. j. Rip
pie, o. p, P. G., the national director
or the society, expressed himself to-
day as much gratified by the efficient
way in which. the Is local committees
have carried out their plans
Conservatively estimated, the Phila-
deiphia section in the Holy Name pa
rade here next Sunday will number
at least 10000 men. headed by at least
1,5o0 uniformed police and firemen
with their own famous band. This re-
port was made at the Holy Name
convention headquarters, 1914 Massa-
chusetts avenue, today by James A.
McGuigan, grand marshal of the
Philadelphia section.
He reported at least 10000 persons
from Philadelphia are coming to
Washington next Sunday. The first of
the special trains will leave Phila-
delphia at 1880 am. and the last one
is due in Washington at 1890 o'clock.

Washington, including the three
bishops, Freeman, Mcdowell and
Hamilton, have been invited to occupy
seats on the reviewing stand with
President Coolidge.

TOXIC, September 15.-The Associ-
sted Press learns that a portion of
the troops of Gen. Chang TSo-Lin
have already moved and are still
moving by way of the japanese South
Manchuria Railway, presumably from
the province of Kirin and from An
tung, In Shenkiang, toward Mukden.
1t is authoritatively stated that the
Toxic government views this as "a
matter of railway business" and not
amounting to japanese aid for Cen
Chang. which is not Japans intention.
Called Usual Procedure.
1t Is explained that the usual pro-
cedure in such movements has been
followed; that Gen. Chang has asked
permission from the Japanese consul
IN Mukden, who, as a subordinate of
count kodama- governor of the Jap
anese leased territory in Kwantung
Peninsula, referred the request to
kodama at Dairen. The request, it is
said, was granted and the movements
or Changs troops carried out purely
as a matter of business"
Chang. it is declared, has not so far
commandeered any South Manchuria
paying for all movements of his
troops over that line. The matter has
not been referred to the authorities
In Toxic, as it has been considered
purely a question for Count kodama
and for the railway officials.
Expect Restricted Fightin
Although dispatches to the vernac-
nlar press here report an outbreak of
host1llties on the Manchuria- Chilli
border. officials here are not appre-
hensive that the fighting will result
IN crisis which will call for any al
terat1on of Japan's policy of watch
1ul waiting. Japanese leaders are,
however. admittedly following events
with the. keenest interest since Jap
ans most vital interests in China lie
In Manchuria
The South Manchuria railway is
wen outside the zone of probable hos
tliities and therefore it is considered
unlikely that the Japanese will be
required to meet any graver question
than the present railway business"
In troop movements.
The authorities here say that there
Is only the most remote chance that
the Chilli troops will break through
and reach the South Manchuria rail-
way zone, but it is stated authorita-
lively that if that should occur Japan
Will act reSolutely to protect the
railway and Japan's interests in the
railway zone. 1t is believed here
however, that both sides in the fight
ing will scrupulously avoid any col
lision with Japan.

AMERICAN SECURES
ENTIRE ARCTIC ISLAND
BY BJoRN BUNKOLDT.

BY Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
CHRISTIANIA. September 15.-Seal-
hunter Ruud has sold the island Jan
Mayen, which he claims by right of
discovery, to an American citizen now
in Christiania, for 10000 kronen he
announced. Ruud says he really
parted with the island some years
ago, but had an agreement with the
American that the Norwegian govern
it over at any time up to September
9 of this year. AS the government
did not take advantage of his offer,
he completed the transfer.
Jan Mayen is volcanic entirely
uninhabited bit of land, 16 miles long
by 1 miles wide, jutting out on the
Sea of Greenland, 500 miles east of
the mainland of Greenland. 1t first
was sighted by Hendrix Hudson and
was rediscovered by Jan Mayen, Nor
wegian sailor, in 1911. Just what is
the basis of Ruuds claim to dis
covery and ownership is unknown.
The island has perhaps some politi-
cal Importance but this is doubtful.
With the exception of the ground on
which the Norwegian wireless station
is built, which has been formally oc-
cupied by the Norwegian government,
the rest of the island is considered
terra nullus, according to interna-
tional law.
1t has not yet been announced what
the government intends to do, but in
no case will it admit that the wire
less plant has been sold by Ruud.
Save for the wireless station and a
small wooden hut built by Austrians
long ago, the island is bare. The ter
rain Is mountainous, without flora or
fauna, and is considered valueless
from a business viewpoint
General public opinion refuses to
believe that the American purchaser
would try to hurt Norway's interests
with respect to the wireless station.
which Is of the utmost Importance for
the transmission of weather reports
in Arctic waters.

DAVIS DENOUNCES
TARIFF IN SPEECH
Candidate Carries Fight
Into Observation-Disclosures
Party Principles.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
EASTWOOD FARM, BUNCETON,
Mo-, September 15.-A tribute to Mis-
souri, and her statesmen was paid to-
day by John w. Davis, Democratic
nominee for President of the United
States. in an address at a barbecue
opening the Missouri campaign. The
Missourians. was held on the farm of
DR.. Arthur w. Nelson, Democratic
nominee for governor.
Mr.. Davis opened his address by
congratulating the Democrats of Mis-
souri, on their selection of a place to
open their campaign and declaring
that they were fortunate in their
choice of a candidate for governor.
Aside from his high character and
fitness for that great office. it is not
every State that has power of feeding
the multitude at will" Mr.. Davisssaid.
The presidential nominee then paid
tribute to a roll of statesmen from
Missouri making especial mention of
the late Champ Clark. former Speaker
of the House Of Representatives.
Cites Two Theories.
Mr.. Davis declared that there have
always been two theories of govern
ment in this country.
the very birth of this Nation, and they
have been locked in the remorseless
conflict from that day to his good hour"
he said.
"It is for the American people this
Fall to choose whom they will serve
and under which of these two con-
tending flags they choose to enlist. In
the early days they had their two great
protaganists. One of these men was
Alexander Hamilton, and he and his
followers believed that government was
the peculiar prerogative and right OF
the rich, the well-born and the able.
And l call your attention to
the fact that all men who so believed
are careful, as the premise for their
belief, to classify themselves either as
rich or, If not rich, as well born, or,
If not well born, as far more able thar
their neighbors are willing to concede
THE other point of view is that
expressed by the great author of the
Declaration of Independence. whose
opening sentences have sunk deeper
into the lives and hearts of the Amer
lean people than any other words
that ever were uttered on this side
of the globe. He believed in that
great doctrine that all men are Great
ed equal, that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain inalienable
rights. Among these rights are life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness,
and to secure these rights govern
ments are instituted among men,
drawing their Just powers from the
consent, not of the rich, not of the
well-born, not of the able, alone, but
from the consent of all the governed.
That is the Jeffersonian theory.
Names Of Groups Changed.
"And those who hold these different
views take to themselves from time
to time different names. In the old
days in England 1t was .Whig and
Tory. Then 1t became Conservative
and Liberal. In this country am
glad to think, and as a Democrat
do think, that. broadly stated. it is
concealed behind words, Republican
and pemocrat"
