The Catholic Protectory boys band

Farley halted and donned the rod robe
and the red hat. Then he knelt and
said a brief prayer as he kissed the
crucifix. As he was donning his robe
the big front door was pushed open
by the crowd surging against It from
without, and for an Instant it looked
as If the throng outside would beat
their way in, but the police In attend

Eddie Guerlti, the so called American
criminal, although an English judge
once decided that he was a British
subject. The man lias not yet been

over the world through his sensational

at Devil's Island, where he was serving
a life sentence. Ho was aided by
friends in New York, who furnished
the money. He was afterwards arrest
ed In Loudon, but Great Britain refus
ed to extradite him to France, the
Judge holding that he was a British

EXPECT MORSE PAROLE.
New York Banker-Convict Failing Rap
idly, According to Report.
Washington. .Inn. 18. - Charles W.
Morse, the convicted New York banker
who Is now a federal prisoner nt At
lanta, may be released within the next
few days. In view of his critlcnl con
dition It is generally expected here
that President Taft will grant a com
mutation of Morse's sentence soon.
Attorney General Wlckersham re
reived n report on Morse's condition
from Brigadier General George T. Tor
ney, chief of the bureau of medicine
and surgery of the nrmy. This report
was sent to the White House for the
president's consideration. While the
substance of the report was not dis
closed, It Is understood to show that
Morse Is rapidly losing strength and
his condition Is becoming critical.

ARMY OF 5,000 READY TO MOVE
Secrotary Knox of State Department
Feels That It Is Now Up to Presi
dent Gomez to Straighten Out
Difficulties That Caused Gov
ernment to Issue Warning.
Wnshlr.gton, Jan. 18. The state de
partment stands pat on Its note to
Cuba warning President Gomez that
he must maintain the law or expect a
third Intervention. Secretary Knox
feels it Is now up to Cuba nnd that
the state department will have an nn
swer to Its note In the steps taken to
remedy the existing political situation
Meantime all arrangements have
been made by the war department, so
that n force of f.,000 can be dispatched
to Cuba on a few hours' notice. Troops
along the Atlantic coast have been
designated and will be sent to Cuba
in case it becomes necessary to occu
py the island.
Commanders have been notified that
they must lie prepared to move their
forces according to plans drawn up
long ago. There is no expectation at
the war department, however, that
such a move will be necessary.
This view al;o prevailed at the state
department. Unolllclal reports receiv
ed from Havana were taken to Indi
cate that the Cuban government and
people understand the purpose of the
note presented by Minister Beaupre.
Word was received that President Go
mez will meet the leaders of all tin
political factious for the purpose of
discussing the situation. This step is
taken to indicate that the note has al
ready had a most salutory effect In
that it has resulted in opposing leaders
getting together for at least a discus
sion of the situation. The reasons for
the presentation of the note were more
fully explained at the state depart
ment. As was first suggested, It was
felt nt the department and at the
White House that fairness to Cuba
demanded that this government re
mind the Cuban government of Its re
sponsibilities before It was too late
for any remedy but American Inter
vention. It was considered that It
would be more fair to the Cubans to
warn her of the seriousness of the sit
uation from the American point of
view in time to give President Gomez
and his administration an opportunity
to straighten matters out.
Unolllclal advices received at the de
partment Indicated that at least a por
tion of the Cuban people appreciated
this view of the situation and wel
comed the action of the United States.
President Gomez nnd members of his
administration, together with the more
substantial business element of the
Cuban people, are understood to coin
cide with this view.
It is well known nt the state depart
ment that there Is a very strong sent!
ment among the business men of Cuba
In favor of the annexation of the Is
land by the United States. It was
made most clear at the state depart
ment that no such proposal Is content
plated In that quarter and that inter
vention is, to say the least, far trom
being desired.
NUNEZ REMAINS FIRM.
Head of Cuban Veterans Says Object
Is to Guarantee Peace.
New York, Jan. 18. General Nunez,
commander of the Cuban veterans, in
a message to a news bureau here, says:
"Havana, Jan. 17.-Our attitude will
be that the organization will remain
firm in Its object to guarantee peace.
I which may be altered by political par
, ties, to moralize the administration
1 nnd to spread pitriotlsm In the hearts
of the people. We protest ngalnst that
I which may be a menace to our free
, dom nnd independence, being sure that
the noble people of the United States
will never take our uusellish and pa
trlotic campaign as an excuse to m
tervene in matters which could not
nffect in any way their interests in
Cuba."
DEPENDS UPON PATRIOTISM.
President Gomez Wires New York Sun
That Ho Will Enforce Law.
New York, Jnu. 18. President Gomez
of Cuba sent the following n-essage to
i the New York Sun:
"Havana, Jan. 18. Undoubtedly the
, news from Cuba has been greatly ex
I uggerated. This caused the friendly
I note from the American government,
j 1 depend upon the patriotism of the
Cuban people, who will not forget
their duty. I am certain the veterans
will listen to my advice, and. In any
event, 1 have stilllcleut mei.ns ut my
command to maintain order and to en
force the law."

ACCUSE COMMISSION.
Railroad Lawyers Attack Interstate
Commerce Order.
Washington, Jan. 18. Attorneys for
the Southern Pacific Hallway compa
ny. In n petition tiled with the United
States commerce court, In effect accuse
the Interstate commerce commission of
violating nnd evndlng a decree of the
United States supreme court.
The interstate commerce commission
In 11)08 fixed a rate of $3.40 a ton for
lumber transported from points on the
east bank of the Willamette river. In
Oregon, to San Francisco bay points
and a rate of $3.05 from points on the
east bank of the river south of Corval
lls to the same destination.
The railroad appealed to the United
States circuit court of California on
the ground that the commission had
exceeded Its authority. The circuit
court, however, denied the railroad's
application, and the railroad carried
the case to the United States supreme
court.
In the meantime the commission's or
der reducing the rates had expired and
the railroad again put In force its old
rates.
The commission, on complaints, sus
pended these rates and again fixed
rates which varied from the former
ones, but which, the railroad contends,
are substantially the same and in vio
lation of the United States supreme
court's decree, the court having since
passed on a similar case.
The railroad contends that this was
done by the commission either under a
misconception of the true meaning of
the supreme court's decree or arbitra
rily and asks that it be restrained from
enforcing its order.
TAFT URGES ECONOMY.
Message to Congress Favors Fewer
Political and More Merit Officers.
Washington. Jan. IS. How the peo
ple of the United States can save mil
lions of dollars annually In the opera
tion of their governmental machinery
was outlined by President Taft In a
message to congress on "economy and
olllcleney in the government service."
"What tho government does with
nearly $1,000,000,000 each yenr," said
the president, "Is of as much concern
to the average citizen as is the manner
of obtaining this amount of money for
the public use."
Probably the most radical proposal
advanced by the president In his mes
sage was that nil ndmlrJlstratlve otll
cers of the government In the depart
ments at Washington and in the field
he put under the civil service, bo re
moved from the influence of politics
nnd that their terms of office be not
limited, as at present, to four years.
Such officers should not be appointed
by the president with the necessity of
senate confirmation, be said, but upon
merit.

INMATES EIGHT ATTENDANTS.
During Progress of Fire Steward Edgar
of the Institution Has Battle For
Life on Bridge Connecting Two
Wings of Building Four
Stories Above Ground.
Chicago, Jan. 18. While firemen, po
lice, attendants nnd nurses battled fu
riously with frenzied insane patients
tho Emergency hospital at Dunning
burned nlmost to the ground. The Ore
is supposed to have Ignited from a de
fective flue on the top floor of the mnln
wing. The flames grndunlly ate their
way downward, and four hours after
the fire was discovered virtually nil of
a three wing building four nnd five sto
ries high was in ruins. So far as Is
known no lives were lost.
During the progress of the fire for
mer Justice of the Peace Thomas Ed
gar, now steward of the institution,
had n bnttlo for life on n bridge con
necting two of the wings four stories
in the nlr with two Insnnc patients.
His efforts to save them and himself
were seen by hundreds of persons at
tracted to tho fire. Edgar finally quiet
ed the patients and led them to safety.
The bridge fell soon after the battle
ended.
NAVY FEARS YELLOW FEVER
Commander Bertolette III With Disease
at Guayaquil.
Washington. Jan. 18. Commander L.
C. Bertolette, commanding the gun
boat Yorktown, now protecting Ameri
can interests at Guayaquil during the
revolution In Ecuador, has been seized
with yellow fever. The navy depart
ment was Informed of his sudden ill
ness by a telegram.
Arrangements are being made for
the care of Commnnder Bertolette un
der quarantine on shore. The com
mand of the ship devolves upon Lieu
tenant E. E. Scranton, senior officer.
Though every precaution hns been
taken, it is believed that the other men
on the Yorktown are in some danger of
contracting yellow fever. Ships or
dered to Central and South American
ports are under instructions to take
special precautions against disease, as
many of these ports are highly insani
tary. Guayaquil has the reputation of
being the pest ridden port of the west
coast of South America. Yellow fever,
plague and other infectious diseases
areiilmost always to be found there.
TRY TO BLOW UP BAPTISTERY
Famous Italian Building at Pisa Saved
by Watchmen.
Pisa, Italy, Jan. 18. A determined
attempt was made here to blow up the
famous baptistery, which was begun
In 1153 and not completed until 127S.
The building, which is entirely of mar
ble, is opposite the famous cathedral
and adjacent to the Leaning Tower.
Two watchmen in making their rounds
noticed smoke issuing from under
neath the door of the baptistery. An
investigation followed, and a burning
fuse was discovered attached to n con
trivance on the door panels filled with
gunpowder.
The watchmen extinguished the
burning fuse. This averted not only
the probable destruction of the bap
tistery, but disaster to the marble
cnthedral and the Leaning Tower.
AMERICAN STEAMER SINKS.
Vessel Unidentified Goes Down Off the
Coast of Scotland.
Loudon. Jan. 18. A laage unidenti
fied three masted steamer was sunk
with all hands off Peterhead In the
great storm that Is raging over the
British isles.
From the size of the steamer It Is
thought probable that she came from
America. Apparently she was not
heavily loaded.
When first sighted she was drifting
helplessly lieforo tho gale nnd tlying
distress signals. Then suddenly she
rolled over and plunged head first to
the bottom.
A driving snow blizzard raged In
northern districts, blocking railroads
through mountains and making roads
impassable, while many country public
schools have beeu closed.
