Father McDermott Gives
Out Letter Despite Warn-'
ing of Archbishop
"MOLLY MAGUIRE" EXPOSE
The Itov. Daniel I. McDermott, rector of
St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church, Fourth
street near Spruco, has mado public his let
ter to tho archbishop of the diocese which
accompanied his resignation. Father Mc
Dermott took tlio action because the Ancient
Order of Hibernians nro to open their con
vention in Fottsvllle with a mass.
In giving out tho letter tho priest dis
obeyed tho Injunction of Archbishop Pron
dcrgast and gave to the public In tlio letter
his reasons for opposing recognition by tho
Church of tho Hibernian order.
Father McDormott revlowa In tho letter
tho crimes of tho "Molly Magulres" and
lays responsibility for the murder of Doc
tor Cronln, a prominent Irishman In Chi
cago, some years ago, to a former national
president of the A. O. II.. who, his letter
states, "plotted and compassed the. mur
der." It was because, he said, Doctor
Cronln had asked for nn accounting of
Irish funds lost In speculating In the wheat
pit that he was "foully done to death."
"Why should tho A. O. H. make such a
shameless exhibition of Itself In the place
where so many of its dupes were hanged?"
the priest wrote. "Why should It desire a
mass In St. Patrick's Church, when a few
feet from Its altar lie the remains of the
youth It summoned from Camden, N. J
to commit murder, and who accused It on
the scaffold as responsible for the crlmo
he was about to expiate'; and who with his
last breath said If he had listened to the
counsel of his bishop and priests to abandon
the A. O. II. he would not be condemned to
suffer such a disgraceful death?
CALLS ItEQUEST INDECENT.
"An A. O. II. convention opened with mass
In St. Patrick's Church Is not a whit les3 In
decent than would be the holding of an
A. O. II. convention In the courthouse where
Its members were convicted, than an A. O.
II. jollification in the Jail where they were
imprisoned, than an A. O. II. danco around
the scaffold on which they were executed.
"Since the electric chair has been sub.
stituted for the hangman's halter It would
be In keeping with the proposed conven
tion for the A. O. H. to purchase the gibbet
and to have crosses made of It for the dec
oration of their division, county, State and
national chaplain's."
'Your blessing given the A. O. II. was
either a blunder, or a crime, or both," he
wrote to the Archbishop.
ARCHBISHOP REGRETFUL
Archbishop Prendergast was asked yes
terday If he would comment upon the resig
nation of Father McDermott as rector of
St. Mary'a Church. Ho hesitated, and Anally
said. "I have nothing to say."
The Archbishop added, "I regret it. I
regret It exceedingly."
"Have you taken Father McDermott's
resignation under advisement?" he was
asked. ...
"I havo nothing to say," repeated the
Archbishop after another pause. "These are
church matters, and they cannot be dis
cussed." The priest .In his letter to the Archbishop
quotes the Rev, J. L. J, Kerlln. of Frank
ford, as saying that ths headquarters of the
A. O. H. of Frankford "Is a scene of
drunken orgy from Saturday afternoon until
Monday morning." ' Ho-adds. "It goes with
out saying that this description fits nearly
all, If not all. their hills."
Father McDermott's letter, which was
delivered. July 31. criticises the Archbishop
for sending his best wishes and blessings to
officials of the A. O. H. In November, 1910,
in recognition of the "gifts and congratula
tlons" they offered on the occalon of the
Archbishop's Jubilee. The priest told the
Archbishop theso gifts and, congratulations
were "bribes to purchase your approval of
the order."

CAUSE OF BROTHERHOOD.
Employes In Conference
White House on Media
tion Plan
at
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14. Tho rep
resentatives of the Railway Managers'
Association went into conference with
President Wilson at 2:51 this after
noon. -
,
Bu a Staff Corrttpondent
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14. The EvENltfO
LcDOEn correspondent Is Informed upon the
highest nuthorlty that an agreement has
been reached to sottlo tho difficulties be
twocn tho men and tho railroads by arbi
tration. This Information Is to tho effect
that tho employes and railroad companies
had reached a point whero the agreement
for mediation nnd arbitration was about
concluded when President Wilson Inter
vencd. i
Thoso who have followed tho course of the
Board of Conciliation aro convinced that ths
conferences the employes and employers had
with tho President will lead to arbitration,
and that the samo result would have been
achieved without the pressure exerted In a
public way by President Wllsfin. Tho en
try of tho President In a publlo way Into
the dispute Is looked upon by those familiar
with tho negotiations as spectacular.
Before tho railroad men entered the con.
ferences with tho President at 3 o'clock
tho Information was given out that tho
situation looked entirely favorable to ar
bitration. PRESIDENT'S PLAN
At the conference with tho employers tht
President, It was said, would propose a
concrete arbitration proposition which. In
their opinion, would prove acceptable to
both sides.
Tho nature of this proposal Is known so N(
far only to tho President' and the rep
resentatives of the "big four' unions wltlvr
whom ho conferred earlier In the day. But'
Cabinet officials Insist that It carries a
ronl arbitration proposal, which will per
mit tho great lssuo between b6th sides
the eight-hour workday and what It In
volves to bo settled by arbitrators.
President Wilson, It was reported, made
it plain to the bratherhood representatives
that he could not ba the single arbitrator
or tho "odd man" In a board of arbitra
tion. However, ho suggested certain names
of men who could be brought Into tho plan
and the brotherhood representatives "lis
tened kindly" to this suggestion.
"Tho negotiations nro entirely In th,
President's hands," said A. B. Garretson,
spokesman for the employes. He declined
to discuss the situation beyond that, but
Warren S. Stone, representative of ths ''
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, said:
"I am optimistic," and W. P. Lee, of tht
brakemen, said,; "It looks very good."
BROTHERHOOD'S CAUSE.
It Is understood that the brotherhood
representatives told the President they had
been compelled to refuse arbitration under
the terms suggested by tho Federal Board
of Conciliation, because they did not be
lieve that the board realized the Import
ance of their demands. The President, It
was definitely Jearned, Insisted that in na
circumstances would the publlo sanction a
strike. .He is understood to have made it
plain that In his opinion. If a strike should
be precipitated through the refusal of the
labor leaders to treat with tho roads, tho
unions would be blamed and the labor cause
would suffer.
In reply the union leaders Insisted that
they received scant courtesy at the hands
'of the railway managers, who had insisted
on mediation without making any pro
position of what concessions they would
be willing to make to bring mediation
about. The President, It Is understod. In
sisted In reply that he had no opinion regard
ing the merits of tho controversy; that h
Intended making It plain to the railway
managers that their responsibility befor
the public was equally grave with' that
of the employes, but he was determined to
prevent a strike at any cost,
RAILROAD MEN MEET.
The White House was extremely retlcerK'
regarding the details of the conference.
Secretary Tumulty said nothing could bt
said until after the conferences were com
pleted. Before golnsr to the White House to con
fer with the President at 3 o'clock the' rail?
way managers had a long conference (a
their hotel. A. statement on the side of ths
railroads was prepared, and It was agreed
that It should be read to the Chief Execu
tive by Ellsha LeeL chairman of the board
of managers. Like the labor leaders th
managers seemed hopeful that a. utrike
would be prevented.
Report that the men had asked the Pru
dent to act as arbitrator in person ynr
widely circulated. No official statemMt
on this report or on another that, thrs
members of the Cabinet might ba aske4 t
serve could be obtained from any of th
Interested parties.
