NEW YORK, March, Mon
signor Michael j. Lavelle, pastor
of st. Patrick's Cathedral, who
spoke at the home of Miss Teresa
ODonohue, described Anthony
Adverse" by Hervey Allen, as the
rottenest book 1 have ever han
died" About 100 Catholic women
met at Miss O'Donohus's to start
a crusade against obscene litera-
ture.
MonSignor Lavelle said Sat he
had obtained Anthony Adverse"
after a girl in a convent had asked
him about it. He read only a few
pages, he said, and then threw the
book into the furnace. From the
little he had read, he added, and
from what others had told him Of
the novel, he belived that there
was not single form of vice not
treated in this book"
Recalling a letter in which the
Pope expressed distress at obScen-
ity in modern literature, Monsig-
nor Lavelle said that in response
to a request from the Vatican, Car
dinal Hayes had appointd him
chairman of a local committee to
fight the spread of indecent books.
He asked the women to refrain
from reading or possessing any
book that the book survey of the
diocese did not countenance. He

OUR RAILROADS

Of all great basic industries,
the railroads have been the
longest sufferers from depres-
sion. Increasing competition
from subsidized and unregu-
lated competitors has taken a
heavy proportion of their old
business, with the result that
they have been entirely un-
able to earn the 534 per cent
Fair Return specified by the
Transportation Act, in any
year since the war.
Further, increased cost of
supplies, higher payrolls and
other expenses, have recently
raised their operating cost by
S359,000,00O a year. Under
present conditions, the lines
have no way Of meeting that.
As a remedy, they have made
up a proposed new national
freight rate schedule which
would raise rates by small
percentages on most products.
1t is believed that the sched-
ule would bring in additional
annual revenue to the extent
Of about S18O,OOO,OOO - half
Of the increase in operating
expenses. The new schedule
will be presented to the Inter
state Commrce Commission
for approval.
It is probably certain that
there will be much unthinking
opposition to the railroads
proposal-but analysis shows
how thoroughly it fits in with
the public interest. In norma
times, the railroads are the
greatest single employers anC
purchasers of supplies. Every
industry is partially depend
ent on them for its livelihood
And firSt-class rail service i;
essential to the national com
merce. In brief, the minor in
creases the railroads ask will
be more than compensated fo.
by the better times their re
habilitation will create.-Del

The entire estate of the late Mary Jane Russell, former well known school teacher of this city. is left in trust to her brother, Dr George w.

 When the youngest of Dr Rus sells children reaches 21 years of age the principal of the estate is to be divided share and share alike among the children. The will was drawn Nov 3, 1892. Miss Russell died August 22.
 She was the daughter of the late James E. and Bridget Fahy Rus sell, members of an Irish pioneer family in Waterbury. Up to 25 years ago, Miss Russell taught in public schools of the city. Follow ing her retirement from the teach ing profession she conducted tours to Europe and other cities.
 She was very we'll known throughout the city and many prominent men and women of the city today can recall that they once were pupils of Miss Russell. The size of the estate will not be known until the inventory is filed.
