new LAW UNDER PROTEST
VIII Oppose Adoption Of Ordinance
FOrbiddinE Use OF Wooden
Shingles In City.

Although they compiled with the
common councils order that an
ordinance be drawn prohibiting the
use of wood shingles anywhere in
the city. members of the building
commission last night went on rec
ord unanimously as opposed to it
and will take their opposition to
the ordinance committee when 1t
meets to consider the change.
Wood shingles are not permitted
in the fire district or on three tene-
ment frame buildings The cost of
using treproofed roofing material
has been given as one of the most
serious objections to change such
as is proposed by Councilmen w.
D. Bsyle and Frank. L.econlon. The
question has been aired at public
hearings in the past and has al
ways met strenuous opposition.

Rome. Dec. I R,--Fffty years ago
December Il a newly ordained priest
named Achille Ratti, from the north
of Italy, celebrated his first mass
here in Rome.
As a special mark of favor. in
view of his brilliant seminary rec
ord, he WAS allowed to say 1t be-
fore that altar in the church of San
Carlo al Corso behind which is en-
shrinei the heart of st. Charles Bor-
romeo, patron of the Lombards, to
which hardy race the neophyte be-
longed.
Today that young priest is Pope
Plus N, the 261st i'll the line OF
Catholic pontiffs dating from st.
Peter the Apostle. according 10 the
church's reckoning. The erstwhile
neophyte holds spiritual sway over
some 3o5,oo0,o0o souls. or 1917 per
cent of the totol population of the
globe. And from all corners of the
earth there viii come to him dur
ing the week of December 16 mes
sages of congratulations and devo-
ton from his far flung flock.
First among those to pay him
tribute will be his fellow country
men fro~ the north of Italy, par
ticularly those of the diocese Of
Milan, over which he was cardinal
archbishop before his election 10 the
papacy A pilgrimage of Lombards,
headed by Cardinal Tosi, the pres
ent Archbishop Of Milan, will come
to Rome in special trains during the
week to attend the anniversary mass
at San Carlo.
The pontiff also will receive the
congratulations of his Noble Guard
composed of members of the Cath
oic aristocracy, of the Palatinc
Guard, selected from the bourgeois
ie, and from his famous Swiss guard.
During the week, however. messages
congratulating the Pope on his
sacerdotai jubilee will pour in from
Catholic socties, notably from the
knights Of Columbus in the United
States and that smaller body, the
American chapter of the Knights OF
Malta, founded last year. of which
Cardinal Hayes of New York is the
spiritual director.
Apart from the actual celebration
OF the anniversary in San Carlo, tho
event of the week dearest to the
Pope's heart will be the dedication
of the new Lombard seminary to the
training of more young priests from
the pontiff's native region.
The very altar where the Their
Father Ratti said his first mas has
been renovated. its stucco replaced
by marble and the whole decorated
in bronze. Solemn pontifical higl
masses will be sung before it every
morning of the jubilee week, anC
every evening pontfical vespers vii
be chanted there.

officers on several occasions have
found a thriving "alky" business
there, as well as in Chicago Heights.
The slain chief has cooperated
with the federal dry agents, and on
some occasions has led raids him
self, turning his prisoners over for
government prosecution. Recently
he discussed with the sheriff pro-
gram for campaign against vice
which had sprung up, he said under
the protection of the alky industry.

been responsible for his assassna-

belief.

leader in the alky racket. was shot

The killers drove by slowly in a

cealment, and used shotguns and
pistols.
Two men whom Chief Gilbert ar
rested a fortnight ago az they drove
through South Chicago Heights with

today as the slayers. Police said they
believed the pair had slain Gilbert
to silence his testimony against

them over to federal authorities and
they were to have been arraigned

of His Town

The Roseburg (Ore) News Review of
Monday, January To- says:
1T is not unusual for five men to
preach from one pulpit, but for one man
to preach from five pulpits is something
rather different; but that was accomplish
ed yesterday in the five leading Protes-
tant churches of the city when DR. Louis
Albert Banks, one OF the outstanding pro-
hibiton leaders OF the country, delivered
message simultaneously in each OF the
several places of worship. Today, Jan. TO-
is the eighth anniversary of the Eighteenth
amendment to the Constitution. 4 few
days ago the pastors OF the Presbyterian,
Baptist Christian, Methodist Episcopal
South, and Methodist Episcopal churches,
asked DR.. Banks to write a sermon in
connection with the anniversary, and let
each pastor read the discourse as SER
mon Sunday morning DR.. Banks COM
piled with the request and the unique SER
vice proved unusually successful in each
church"
Dr. Banks has been heard by many Is
sue readers. For a number OF years he
was on the staff of the national Anti-Sa-
loon League field force of lecturers, and
campaigned in practically every state of
the Union.

HOTELS COOPERATING
Big Hotels Are Showing Fine Spirit
of Cooperation in FRONTING OBJ
servance of Dry Law

Tn the Hotel Pennsylvania (New
York; Daily" under date of January II,
under the heading Notice to Guests the
Hotel Pennsylvania, which is one Of the
most prominent OF the Statler group of
hotels. has the following:
The prohibition law forbids fur
nishing accessories with knowledge
that the same are for use in the con-
sumption OF Intoxicating liquor Any
violation of the law may subject you
as we'll as ourselves to severe penal
ties. In order to avoid embarrassing
situations we shall appreciate your
cooperation in strict observance of
the law.
As a part OF the letter sent out by the
Banquet Department of the Hotel Nc
Alpin, which is one of the larger and
more prominent hotels in New York
City, the following is printed in red ink
at the bottom of suggested menus for
banquets and special dinner occasions.
We request that members of banquent
committees and all other persons coop
crate with US III the observance Oh inc
prohibition laws.
This cooperation by the hotels with the
government in the enforcement and OBJ
servance of the national dry policy is
highly commendable. No business group
in the United States has prospered more
as direct result of prohibition than the
hotels. 1t is, therefore, good business for
hotel managers to help preserve this good
law; but aside from this, hotels have dis
covered that they have become beneh-
Charles from a moral standpoint since the
hotel barroom has disappeared. Sober
guests are preferable to the noisy, quar-
re1some guests who were a common fig
ure in the old days of license.
