MARTYRS OF ROME
TO Be DEAT|F|ED
200 English Catholics, Perse-
cuted Until Death, to Be
Honored.
ey the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
VATICAN CITY, November S.-Mort
than 200 English Catholics. priests anc
laymen, martyred for their faith in the
period between 1894 and 1879, will be
solemnly beatified in st. Peters
basilica with imposing ceremonies some
time during December. In another
ceremony of the same sort, Rev. John
Ogilive, Scottish Jesuit, who suffered
marytrdom during the same time, will
be similarly honored.
The most conspicuous figures among
those destined to bear the title OF
s'blessed" before their names, by virtue
of their Qualification, are Fathers
George Haydock, John Roberts, Arthur
Bell, Robert Southwell and Philip
Howard, Earl of Arundel
Prosecutions Recalled.
The persecution began under Queen
Elizabeth and continued through the
reigns of James and Charles and
under the Commonwealth. There was
a fresh recurrence of executions upon
the. discovery of the so-called Oates
plot, in 1878. Some were put to death
on the gibbet at Tyburn, others hanged
in cathedral towns of the English
counties, and still others were left to
die in prison.
In all, there are 244 victims of the
religious strife in Great Britain whose
causes" will be examined prior to
November IL, the day when the so-called
general congregation meets in the
Vatican, the Pope himself being present.
Owing to the difficulty of establishing
the identities of several of the victims,
and doubt as to whether they actually
suffered martyrdom, not all Of the 244
will be accorded qualification, but in
any case it is certain that the honor
will be given to at least 200 Of their
number.
Pilgrimage of Scots.
A pilgrimage of Scottish Catholics
will come to Rome for the beatifica-
Sion of Father John Ogilvie, known by
the title of Venerable" since the seven
tenth century.
Father Ogilvie was brought up as a
Calvinst, but was converted at the Uni
versity of Louyain. He entered the
Jesuit order, was ordained priest in
1913, and at his own request was sent
into Scotland as a missionary, knowing
what a price was on his head.
After nine months of preaching in
Edinburgh and Glasgow, he was be-
trayed by informerS and was said to
have been tortured during the months
in prison in vain effort to make him
reveal the names of Catholics. At the
end he was condemned and hanged as
a traitor.

Both Senators Nye and Norris testi-

Jury that saw them, heard them and
knew the truth refused to believe
them. The statement that I testified
falsely to the Senate committee, again

Nye testified in both of the trials
against me and his testimony in the
two cases was directly contradictory
This, among other things, the jury
knew when they refused to believe his
testimony.
I'm their declarations now and

Norris announced themselves as not

liberties of the people of the English

CHICAGO, January 26 CR.-Col.
Robert w. Stewart, chairman of the
board of the Standard Oil Co. of In

DER to his accusers tonight in a state
ment answering the renewed charges
by Senator Nye of North Dakota that
Stewart had given false testimony be-
lore Nye'S Senate committee,
senators Nye and Norris set them
selves up as superior to courts and
Juries," he declared, recalling that he
had been tried and acquitted in the
courts of the perjury charge that fol-
lowed his appearance as witness in
the Continental Trading Co. investiga-
ton. They arrogate to themselves the
position of advisers to private investors
and private corporations. Behind their
cloak of senatorial immunity they SLAM

Straint."
Nothing to Apologize For"
Turning to Senator Nye,s comment
on Col. Stewards assertion that the
profits in the Continental Trading Co.
bond transaction went into dividends
for the Standard Oil stockholders, he
said
THE Standard Oil Co. of Indiana
and its stockholders have much to boast
of and nothing to apologize for. Meth
err Nye nor Norris have ever before
had the temerity to charge that the
Standard Oil Co. of Indiana had ever
received any illegitimate profits from
any source. Heretofore, Senator Nye
has said to the newspapers that it APP
peared that the time had come to at
task the Standard Oil Co. of Indiana"
Col. Stewards statement follows:
Senator Nye, protected by the I'M
munity privileges of the Senate, has
seen fit to continue. with the aid of
Senator Norris, his political attacks
upon me on the floor of the Senate.
Apparently they are endeavoring to
arouse public sentiment against the
Standard OH Co. of Indiana by a
repetition of falsehoods. God help the
stockholders of this company if they
fall under such guidance as that of
Nye and Norris!
1.-The Standard Oil Co. of Indiana
and its stockholders have much to
boast of and nothing to apologize for.
Neither Nye nor Norris has ever be-
fore had the temerity to charge that
the Standard Oil Co. of Indiana had
ever received any illegitimate profits
from any source. Heretofore, Senator
wye Has oaIu W tIic newspapers tildt IL
appeared that the time had come to
attack the Standard OIL Co. of Indiana.
Apparently, he has always had that In
mind. SenSationalism is his hobby.
Cites Vindication in Court.
Unfortunately, it seems that Sena-
tors Nye and Norris have little under
standing or appreciation of our Con-
stitution. When / was called before
Senator Nye's committee, answered
every question such a committee could
conceivably have power to ask. re-
fused to answer two questions written
out by a newspaper reporter and asked
by Senator Nye. Has the time come
when a citizen of this country may not
assert his clear. legal rights and appeal
to the courts of the land for vindica-
ton? That did apd was sustained.

OFFICIAL ISSUES STATEMENT.

NEW YORK, January IS (P).-A. H.
Harris, chairman of the executive COM
mittee of the New York Central lines,
tonight issued the following statement
in connection with the decision of the
Interstate Commerce Commission:
I'VE are very well satisfied with the
decision of the Interstate Commerce
Commission announced today which
grants the application made by the
New York Central for leave to unity its
system by taking leases of the Michi-
gan Central, Big Four, and other roads.
The terms and rentals proposed have
been found to be just and reasonable
and the common control and manage
ment of the system lines has been de-
clared to be in the public interest.
THE short lines present a problem
which the commission feels must be
dealt with, and we are prepared to
proceed to- negotiate with such of them
as the commission has named with a
view to taking them over upon the
basis of their commercial value to be
approved by It,"

Sickness Delays
Explorers Return
From Asian Wilds
Roerich Party Is Blocked
by Officials After
Successful Trip.
BY the Associated Press.

10y tAlC ASSOCldbcQ EEcS5s
NEW YORK, January 26.-After four
years Of the desert and mountain wilder
ness of Central Asia, the Roerich Asiatic
expedition, headed by Prof. Nicholas
Roerich, artist and scientist, will return
to America early next Fall, Miss Frances
r.. Grant, vice president of the Roerich
Museum here, announced today.
The expedition includes Prof Roe
richs son, DR.. George Roerich, Orien-
talist and an authority on Eastern Ian
guage, and the professors wife. Mrs.
Roerich has suffered so from her ex-
per1ence in the mountain passes of
Tibet that her return to lower altitude
may be delayed long time. In the
mountains her pulse ran las, which the
expeditions doctor said was the pulse
OF a bird rather than human being.
Miss Grant, who recently returned
from India, where she met the expedi-
ton on its emergence from Tibet, re-
counted some of the dangers encoun-
tered by the party In its travels through
Slkklm In India. Chinese Turkestan,
Mongolia and Tibet.
Thirty-five mountain passes, ranging
from $4,000 to $1,000 feet high, were
negotiated at great hardship. Addi-
tional difficulties were imposed by local
officials, said Miss Grant. In Tibet
officials forcibly detained the expedition
on heights of $4,000 feet for five
months, she said, and from the result
ant hardships of life in Summer tents
with insufficient food and fuel, five ma
tive members of the caravan died and
so pack camels persisted. In Chinese
Turkestan the party was held up and
their weapons confiscated, leaving them
to pass the deserts entirely unguarded.
Prof. Roerich, however, obtained con-
siderable artistic and scientific material.
He has painted a panorama of $50
the collections of the Roerich Museum.
and obtained much scientific data as
well as new material on the migrations
OF Central Asia and on Asiatic philos-
ophy and culture.

NEW YORK CENTRAL !
LINES TO COMBINE +.
Single Unit for Operation and
Management Given |. C. C.
Approval.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A conditional permission was given
the New York Central System by the
interstate Commerce Commission yes
terday to consolidate with its principal
subsidiary organizations for operation
and management. The condition i'm
posed will require the New York Gen.
trail System to buy or offer to buy on
reasonable terms the properties of six
short railroads which connect with its
line.
BY the proposals which the commits
sion approved, the New York Central
will lease for 80 years the Michigan
Central System and the Cleveland.
Cincinnati, Chicago & st. Louis Rail-
way (Big Four both of which lines it
now owns by stock control. The Big
Four in turn will lease the Cincinnati
Northern Railroad and the Evansville,
indianapolis & Terre Haute, which it
now holds by ownership while the
Michigan Central will lease the Chi
cago, Kalamazoo 81 Saginaw Railway,
also an owned subsidiary.
Will Be Under One Unit.
The effect of the transaction will be
to place the 1000 mile trunk line
system of the New York Central in a
single unit for operation and manage
ment.
The consolidation was opposed by
representatives of some of the minority
stock holdings, but the commission
ruled that the terms rendered them
were fair and reasonable and that the
unification of the railroad operations
sought would be in the public interest.
AS to six short lines connecting with
New York Central at various points,
but not owned by it or associated with
1t now in operation, the commission
ruled them to be complimentary to
and properly objectionable to the New
York Central"
Order Help Up Six Months.
The New York Central System was
instructed to offer considerations
equal to the commercial value of the
respective properties" for control OF
the lines and the order approving the
general consolidation was held up for
six months TO allow the negotiations
with the short lines to be completed
The lines which the New York Gen.
trail must now seek to buy are the
Boyne City. GAYLORD and Alpena, in
Michigan; the Chicago. Attica and
Southern, in Indiana: the Federal VAL
ley Railroad, in. Ohio; the Ulster and
Delaware Railroad, in New York, and
parts of the Fonda, Johnstown and
Gloversville Railroads and the Owasco
River Railway In New York State.
