CEMETERY HEAD
DIES SUDDENLY
At ACE Of So

Death today claimed Michael
j. Mccarthy, for more than half
a century a man who had ex-
tended sympathy and comfort to
those mourning the death Of
friends and relatives.
Mr.. Mccarthy, superintendent
Of Mt. Olivet Cemetery, died to-
day following a heart attack. He
was SO years old.
Monday, following requiem
mass in Holy Name Church, he
will be buried in the cemetery
he loved so much, and on the
very spot where he was born.
For before him his father, the
late Daniel Mccarthy, was con-
nected with the cemetery. It was
much smaller then, and the Nc
Carthy home was some little dis
tance away.
With the passing Of the years
the cemetery expanded, and
finally the Mccarthy home was
torn down and the land taken
over for graves.
Mr.. Mccarthy picked as a fam
lily plot the homesite where he
was born.
Fifty-one years ago he followed
the footsteps Of his father and
started work in the cemetery,
finally becoming superintendent.
He numbered thousands of
friends, including all priests in
the diocese as well as those to
whom he had given comfort in
the trying hour of death.
He is survived by a widow,
Mrs. Catherine Mccarthy, two
sons, who are also connected
with the cemetery, and three
daughters.
Mr.. Mccarthy was a member
OF the Holy Name Society.

liam Jennings Bryan, SO strongly ad-
vanced almost forty years ago. In the
first place. in this country gold has
been "nationalized" it is held securely
by the Government as a reserve basis
against currency. There Is no chance
Of a flood Of silver supplanting the
gold, therefore. The country cannot
be drained of gold by citizens of this
or any other country through the
simple process Of Offering silver to the
United States Government at a &C.
to-1 ratio and obtaining gold for it.
The naturalization of the silver
stocks in this country will, it is esti-
mated, require the taking over by the
Government Of about 25OOOO, 900
ounces Of silver at cost not in ex-
cess of SO cents an ounce. In other
words, the Government will exchange
for the silver bullion SIPS 900 900 silver
certificates. This will put into circu-
lation that much additional currency,
and back of that currency will be the
silver reserve.
The gold stocks of the Government
are valued at $7.756, 100000. Under
the policy of having the gold reserve
rs per cent and the silver reserve
25 per cent of the total, it would be
necessary to increase greatly the silver
holdings. In round figures it would
be necessary to have about $4,000
100000 worth Of silver in reserve
At so cents an ounce, this would
mean four billion ounces. As the
Government has something in the
neighborhood Of a billion ounces al
ready, it would necessitate purchasing
another three billion ounces.
The silver Senators argue that 1t
would be impossible for Government
to acquire Immediately such a vast
quantity Of silver. even if the foreign
nations holding it were willing to
part with it. Furthermore. the price
of silver would mount to hitherto
unheard-of heights If such a buying
program were initiated. What they
look for is very considerable rise
in the price of silver, and such a
rise, they firmly believe, will be ac-
companied by increasing prices OF all
kinds Of commodities. and increasing
trade with the nations of the world
now on a silver basis.

Once returned to Cuba. he would
have little chance of defending him
self" thinks the Atlanta Constitution,
with the conclusion: South American
dictators of the past have been firmly
dealt with by the temperamental
Latin American populations over
which they have ruled. Few of these
deposed dictators have been more
ruthless than was Machado when he
was at the height of his power, so his
prospects for escaping severe punish
ment would be far from hopeful
should the United States grant the
extradition asked"
Quoting reports that Machado is
willing to face his accusers in this
country, the Miami Herald adds:
If Machado is charged only with
the death of a group Of students.
which marked one of the high lights
in his reign Of terror, the former
President may rest easy, in the opin-
ion OF some acute observers For
deaths which occurred when an
armed mob was moving on his palace
no ruler could properly be blamed as
a murderer. But if one Of those few
individuals who were close to Ma
chado has turned states evidence and
now will talk of what was done in the
secret councils from which death so
often rode. that is another matter. If
the lips of one or two of the men who
worked closely with Machado were
to be unsealed. then Machado might
well fear for his life"

both the white and the colored races
have been enlisted. As q slogan for
the occasion IAN integrated program
of Negro education" has been sug-
gested.
Scores of studies have been made
Of the problems to be considered, and
the present convention is designed to
bring together all the findings of the
different groups which have been act
ing independently heretofore. The ef-
fort is predicated upon 4 desire to
know exactly what conditions are, to
plan comparatively what steps should
be taken to preserve gains already
achieved and TO guarantee continu-
ance Of progress. The principle of
strength in unity is the underlying
motive of the meeting.
Those in attendance at the con-
ference are men who have spent
years in devoted endeavor to aid the
colored population toward a more
abundant share of the positive values
of life, greater share of happiness
in the world. They are sound and
sane and they have ripe experience.
If now, through this conference, they
are to join hands in one all-inclusive
corporate program the whole Nation
will be advantaged by their decision.

mot a True Bill

1t may be that even Mr.. Melons
best friends, thoroughly convinced Of
his innocence, nevertheless believed
he would be indicted. Conviction in
court of justice, of course, would be
something else again. But partisan
though they may be, Americans re-
sent political maneuvers that SAVIOR of
persecution or vindictiveneSS. 1t was
difficult to believe that high admin
iStration officials would risk the
criticism resulting from an appearance
of persecution and would take before
grand jury. hearing only one side
Of the case, allegations so fiimsy that
they would be ignored. Even a grand
jury indictment, which represents
nothing except finding that the evil
dence is such as to warrant trial,
would have represented justification
of sort of the extraordinary tactics
pursued by the Government in the
Mellon case. and the Government
Aeeded justification.
That the grand jury ignored the
Governments case and refused to in
dict is something more than vindi-
cation of Mr.. Mellon. The grand
jury's ignoramus is an indictment of
the Governments course That course
was to deny to Mr.. Mellon the estab-
lished right of hearing to deter mine.
in the first place, whether there was
evidence of improper tax payment
and, in the second place, to carry his
case to the Board of Tax Appeals and
have the matter examined there
After that. of course, there was resort
to the courts. Leaving aside entirely
the matter Of personal honor and in
tegrity, it was rather silly to believe
that man Of Mr.. Melons wealth
and prestige would haggle over the
payment Of several hundred thousand
or several million dollars, If his failure
to pay that sum was to constitute evi-
dence Of fraudulent evasion Of taxes.
Any argument he might make, and he
was denied the traditional right to
argue his side of the case, would be
based on principle and Interpretation
Of law with which he was thor
oughly familiar.
The Mellon case represents blum
der that will carry its own penalties
1t was brought into the headlines, in
a manner that was as unusual as it
was improper, at a time when criti-
cism of another blunder-the airmail
fiasco-was at it's height. The Attor-
ney General, in a statement COM
menting on the grand jury proceed
criminal prosecution OF Mr.. Mellon
is now over and there will be no more
moves in that direction. The SIM
pie truth is that he was treated like
any one else in a similar situation"
said the statement. But 1t is not
recalled that anybody other than the
former Republican Secretary OF the
Treasury has found himself "in a
similar situation"

Editors See Little Chance
For Machado's Extradition

Little prospect IS seen by most
American editors Of the extradition
of Gerardo Machado, former President
of Cuba, who has been in this country
and is wanted on charges of murder
by the present Cuban administration.
Under rulings Of courts in this coun-
try political offenses are not extra
think the insult case furnishes prec-
edent for favorable action.
1t is stated by the Reno Evening
Gazette that the fugitive is accused
Of torture and miSappropriation of
funds. in addition to taking Of life,
but that paper concludes: 'Machado
cannot be expelled from this country
under the immigration laws. it is said.
inasmuch as he is properly qualified
immigrant. and anyway this Govern
ment will not be disposed to hand him
over to his political enemies. Also
this country may feel pleased by his
visit, inasmuch as most Latin Amer
lean eX-Presidents do not stop here
on their way to safety. but flee to
Paris as fast as the steamships can
take them"
The demand for his extradition. ac-
cording to the OwenSboro (Ky) Mes
senger. lis without precedent" and
that paper holds that "the action of
the Federal courts in dealing with the
case will establish a rule of law and
of American policy" The Messenger
assumes that IF the offenses charged
are political, Machado cannot be ex-
tradited 10 This position is taken also
'sby the Dayton (Ohio) Herald, which
remarks that IF he is returned, his
doom is sealed" The Harrisburg
tPaD Patriot thinks that unless the
Machado case should fall outside the
extradition limits. Uncle Sam. to be
consistent with the policy in the In
Sull case, will be bound to deliver him
into Cuban hands"
The Waterloo uowa) Courier also
holds that lin view of our experiences
with the insults. there is no alterna-
tive for the State Department" The
Brooklyn Times Union is convinced
that "the matter is one calling for
careful adjustment and will not be
hastily decided" The Times Union
states as to the legal aspects: Gov
ernments make sharp distinction in
extradition cases between offenses
against the civil government of the
country seeking the return of one of
its nationals from another country
and those sought on political charges.
Even in cases in which the gravest
crimes are charged against the fugi-
tive the government of the country in
which he has sought refuge is loath
to turn him over to an unfriendly ad-
ministration, whose destruction he
may have sought. This view of the
usages of nations must be kept in
mind IN the case of Machado."
The case is not lacking the color
and thrills which made the search
for insult an international drama. :"
says the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
suggesting that the case is like 1.-The
tag game played in Turkey between
the former Chicago capitalist and the
agents Of the Department Of State"
That paper concludes: while it is too
early yet to pass on the probable guilt
or innocence Of the accused ruler, it is
safe to hazard q guess even at this
stage that the United States will not
turn him over without lengthy and
exhaustive hearings. For to do so,
with popular resentment what 1t Is
