New Orleans, Nov. 14.-The first Ibillness session of the American

'Federation of Catholic Societies was sheld yesterday afternoon at 1:30o'cloek ~in the convention hall at the IGraunewald Hotel but the only thing I"done was the formal calling to order Iby President Edward Feeney, of 1Brooklyn, N. Y., and the appointingof the credentials committee.

The credentials committee com-prises Charles I. Denechaud, chair- ImUm, of New Orleans; Otto P. Seifriz,of Milwhukee, Wis.; George W. Far-g:•o, of New" York City; F. P. Leonard,of St. Louis, Mo.; J. N. Coerver, ofStainton, Ill., and John Neabry, of .1Cineinnati, Ohio. This was the only t

? business transacted, and an adjourn- iIment was taken until this morning

.*:t 9:30 o'clock.Following the short business ses- e

?•- slon of the convention the national cofmcers of the respective federatedsocieties went at once to the houseof Archbishop Blenk, where a short Iconference was had with the visitingbishops.

This conference was short, lastingless than ten minutes, a brief ad- Idress being made by Father Wynne. (In a brief way he outlined what the Ifederation wants to do toward unit- Iing the American Catholics and urg-ed the bishops to co-operate in theirrespective dioceses. All of the visit-ing bishops were then enrolled asdelegates to the convention and urg- Ied to attend the sessions, so that athey may be in position to have an Iintimate understanding of the federa- 1tio .

New Orleans, Nov. 15.-In the twobusiness sessions yesterday of theSA erican Federation of Catholic So-ateties much business was transact-ed, the main feature being the ad-dress of President Edward Feene,

Sof Brooklyn, and the comprehensiverepost of Anthony Matre, of St.Louis, the national .secretary.

Last night a cablegram was for-w arded to Cardinal de Val, secretaryto Pope Plus X, which reads as fol-lows:

"National Federation of Catholics,a:sesmbled in New Orleans and rep-

Sresenting two million membership,protests against the outrageous in-sults to the sovereign pontiff byNathan, and with deepest lovepledges absolute loyalty now and al-ways to the father of Christendom.

This cablegram to the pope wassigned by President Edward Feeney,of the Federation, Archbishop Blenk

- and suffragans.The address of President Feeney

was vigorous in its denouncement ofMayor Nathan of Rome for his utter-

cares against the Vatican, and itwas the consensus of opinion on thefloor of the convention that the mes-sage to the pope should first of all bea protest against Rome's mayor.

The entire day was given over to_lsines. Archbishop Messmer, of: Milwaukee, was called qn for addres-es both in the morning and in theafternoon, and responded briefly.

SPather Ketcham, of Washington,S . C., who is the director of theCatholic Indian missions, made anaddress in the afternoon in which heurged the federation members not to

'orget the Indians when they areSgiving means to the various institu-•fons of the church.

h•• ouvention, which the visit-

ing delegates, the Catholic prelatesand the committee say has been mostsuccessful from every standpoint.

Before a large audience last night, hLouisiana Congressman Joseph E. b

Ransdell spoke at the public meeting

in the Grunewald Hotel conventionhall, on "Catholic Citizenship inAmerica;" F. P. Kenkel of St. Louis, bon "The Social Question, a Question vof Social Reconstruction," and Jas. 11

M. Graham of Springfield, Ill., on t"Catholic Education." ii

MORNING SESSION.

The greater portion of the morningbusiness session which was held atthe Grunewald Hotel convention hallwas spent in the formulating of re-ports by the various committees, fwhich were received at the afternoonsession, and which will, be finally act-ed on this morning.

Delegates James J. McLoughlin,president of the New Orleans Society Sfor the Prevention of Cruelty to tlChildren, extended an invitation tovisit the society's two homes, thewhite and the negro institutions. Mr. aMcLoughlin spoke of the good work Cof the Juvenile Court in New Or- vleans and the progress the society Shas made toward the betterment of s'conditions of the children of New aOrleans.

The Rev. L. J. Evers, of New YorkCity, who says mass every Sundaymorning at 2 o'clock, told how theattendances at these masses reach

invariably around the 500 mark, andhow he is known as the "pinters, pri- tsoners and bum's priest." He toldof the difficuties he had to get special ndisepnsation from the Holy Father, eand how when he approached the Farchbishop of his diocese for permis- d

sion the prelate regarded him dubi-ously. Father Eevrs declared the 0

early mass has met with favor, par-ticularly by the printers, who workduring the night and who cannot at-tend the schedule services. Bostonand Philadelphia clergymen have fol-lowed the example of the New Yorkpriest, and now the three cities re- Cport a good attendance at these early tservices.

The morning session was closed fwith the address of Bishop Jonesof Porto Rico. Bishop Jones review- eed the work of the Roman Catholicteachers in his country. ArchbishopBlenk had spent several years inPorto Rico, and Bishop Jones spokehighly of the work of the New Or-leans prelate.

AFTERNOON SESSION.

The most important session of theconvention was held yesterday after-noon, when the reports of the vari- tous committees, including the resolu-tions against the evils, which theFederation has been waging war on,and the recommendations for amal-gamation it has been urging were re-;'ceived. Although this session lastedseveral hours, the delegates were un-able to take final action on the vari-ous resolutions, and this will be doneat this morning's' session. Asidefrom the mere routine of passing 1

resolutions, the Federation at this;session placed itself on record asmore strongly condemning the evilsof socialism.

Columbus, 0., was chosen as thenext convention city.

It is probable that yesterday after-noon's session will hereafter- be re-garded as the most strenuous of theconvention, the bulk of the Federa-tion's work having been disposed of,and this morning the finishing touch-es, as it were, will be placed uponit.

Shortly after the gathering wascalled the nominating committee waschosen as follows: The Most Rev.Archbishop Messmer, the Right Rev.Bishop McFaul, the Most Rev. Arch-bishop Blenk, Monsignor JosephShrembs, T. P. Flynn, Illinois; JohnWhalen, New York; A. Hakenkamp,Illinois; F. P. Leonard, Missouri; A.V. D. Gaudin, Louisiana; F. P. Ken-kel, Missouri; Miss Malia and MissRittman.

Bishop McFaul reported on therecent Eucharistic Congress at Mon-treal. The committee on resolutionssubmitted its report, which was laidover until this morning. The com-mittees divided work under threeheads, religious, educational andsocial. Under the head of religiousa resolution was received denouncingthe persecution of the Catholics inPortugal. A resolution for a betterobservance of the Sunday, a holy dayof obligation as contained in the re-port of National Secretary Matre,was received. The committee re-ported in home and foreign missions,and for more Indian schools. Thecommittee on negro missions madeits report. Strong condemnation ofthe acts of Mayor Nathan of Rome,which the delegates regard as theacts of an infidel, was framed andin the shape of a resolution will besent to the Holy Father, as well asa statement announcing the loyaltyof the members of the Federation tothe Holy Father.

Under the head of religious ques-tions, the committee reported on thepractice of mailing obscene lettersand postcards.

Under the head of social ques-

WILL HANG.

Baton Rouge, La., Nov. 14.-TheBoard of Control has been notifiedthat it will not have one executionto make. Alexander Lee, of Plaque-mines Parish, who was to be execut-ed by the Board of Control in BatonRouge on December 2 for murder,died in the Plaquemine Parish jail.In spite of this, however, the Boardof Control has four executions tomake within the next three weeks.

Hugh Conerly, of Washington Par-ish, is to be executed under the lawin the State Penitentiary on Nov. 25.Conerly will not be brought to BatonRouge before Nov. 23, as the Boardof Control has decided not to havecondemned prisoners transferred tothe prison here until a few days be-fore the date set for the hanging.This is to relieve the penitentiaryofficials of responsibility for thedeath watch.

On December 2 Louis K. Williamsis to be executed. Williams is fromFranklin Parish, where he was con-victed of murder.

On December 9 the Board of Con-trol will have a double hanging-Louis Williams and Sam Jackson,both of Madison Parish.

The Board of Control is going tostrictly carry out, in the executions,the spirit of the new law, which wasto make the executions as privateas possible, and to avoid the publicityand morbid curiosity attendant up-on public executions in the parishes.The number of witnesses will belimited to exactly what the law pro-vides, not less than five and not overseven.

!i

tions the committee reported on thesecular press and various news as-sociations, asserting that these in-stitutions are not fair in their re-ports of Catholic. news.

The committee recommends the es-tablishment of lodges and clubs forworking men and proper homes forwomen in discussing the socialisticquestion. The evils of child laborare condemned. Public discourseson the social problems of the dayare recommended. The usual standof the Federation on the divorce evilis reaffirmed.

The committee recommended thework of the Federation toward im-migration, and encouraged the or-ganized efforts of Catholic organiza-tion and colonization bodies in pro-tect'ng immigrants against unscrup-ulous land agents. The committeefavors bringing immigrants into thecountry rather than to the tenementsof the larger city.

The committee came out verystrongly against bible reading in thepublic schools, and protests againstthe holding of graduation exercisesin sectarian places. It was pointedout that it is the custom of someschools to hold its commencementexercises in religious places. Thecommittee does not ask that suchexercises be held in Catholic halls,but in places of no religious denomi-nation.

The committee desires clean jour-nalism and the establishing of moreCatholic books in public libraries.The Federation commends the workthat is going on for the teachingof the Catholic defectives, those un-fortunates, who are dearf and blind,or otherwise defective. The Federa-tion desires a more liberal patron-age of Catholic art. On the questionof parochial schools, it agian in-dorses its stand taken at other con-ventions, to have State aid.

The associate membership commit-tee reported, and this report was re-ferred to the law committee. Theassociate membership plan includesthe securing of all members who wishto join the Federation. The associatemembership works on the lines ofthe Volksverein of Germany andother countries.

MYSTIC CLUBHAS DISBANDED

The Popular Mystic Club of

Abita Springs Has Dis-banded and Turned OyerFunds to Public School.

At the regular monthly meetingof the Mystic Club of Abita Springs,held Monday, November 14, the or-ganization was disbanded. The rea-sons for disbanding were not suchas to call for public comment.

NEVER HAD ANY IDEAOF MAKING THE RUN

Colonel Roosevelt So Wrote to LordNorthcliffe.

Told Englishmen He Would Not BeCandidate for President.

Letter to Editor of the London Timesis Given Tardy Publicity.

New York, Nov. 15.-An import-ant piece of news, hitherto unpub-lished, in connection with the recentelection in this State, became knownhere today.

When ex-President Rooseveltreached London on his return fromSouth Africa he was entertained atthe country house of Lord North-cliffe, proprietor of the LondonTimes, among other publications. Inthe beginning of the New York cam-paign Lord Northcliffe wrote Col.Roosevelt a friendly personal letter,n which the former expressed the

hope that the election returns would.ue an indorsement of the positiontaken by Col. Roosevelt. A few daysbefore the election Lord NorthcliffeSr(ceived a reply to that letter, inwhich Roosevelt wrote that he hadno intention of being a candidatefor the Presidency of the UnitedStates in 1912 or ever again, andthat this fact was well known toe President Taft. Mr. Roosevelt add-

t ed that the President had no mores stanch or loyal friend than he, Roose-a velt.e Lord Northcliffe did not realize

t the effect that the publication of thee contents of th's letter might haveh had upon the election. Even if hehad, he probably would not havemade the contents public. But afterthe election, the editor saw that agreat issue had been made of the

e supposed aspirations of the ex-Presi-;, dent and had a passing regret thatk the voters had not in their posses-g .sion the plain statement of Col.

t- Roosevelt, made in a purely personalI, autograph letter to Lord and Lady

L- Northcliffe, who had been his hosts[- in the early summer.n The Northcliffes were more than

L- charmed with the personality of Mr.

a- Roosevelt, and when the returns indi-cated that voters had been influenced

t- by the supposed attitude of the Col.

toward the presidential nominatione of 1912, they gave to friends in thisw city, in a letter, the emphatic state-,h ment made by the ex-President in a:e private letter in the heat of the cam-

Af paign. These facts are vouched ford by the closest friend of Lord North-

cliffe in the United States.

ST8CK;.Pg 1 ANlLANOPOULTRY EXHIBITION GOOD

The Popularity of the Exhibition Draws LargeCrowds Who Were Delighted with First

Attempt of the Kind In Covington.Great Credit Due b. J. Sanderr.

A List of the Prize-Winners.

The St. Tammany Stock, Poultryand Pet Animal Exhibition, held Fri-day and Saturday, November 11 and12, brought out large crowds andfavorable comment was heard on allsides for the good showing that wasmade. Few had any idea that somuch interest was being taken instock and poultry breeding.

The exhibition was gotten up bythe Park Commission for the benefitof the park fund, and it is to beregretted that its scope could nothave been enlarged to include farmproducts as well; but the limitedmeans at hand and the short timein which arrangements were madedid not make it practicable. The at-tendance and the exhibits, however,proved that a parish fair could beconducted with great benefit to thepleople and that St. Tammany parishis much further advanced in agricul-ture and stock raising than has beengenerally known.

Mr. D. J. Sanders, president of thePark Board, deserves much credit forthe success of the exhibition. TheWomen of the Progressive Union,who have aways supported everymovement in favor of Covington,materially aided in financing the af-fair by the manner in which theyconducted the refreshment bQoths,wheel of fortune, etc., and made itpleadant for visitors. They turnedquite a neat sum into the treasury,taking in $119, from which will haveto be deducted the expenses, aboutforty dollars.

The gate receipts were $100.25and entry fees about $18.00.

The Mandeville Brass Band ren-dered good music, and are also tobe complimented for their reasonablecharge.

The work of Mr. A. E. Shaw, as5udge of poultry and pet animals,showed him thoroughly qualified forhis work, and in consequences thosereceiving prizes under hi s judge-ment may know that they have wonupon merits that make their birdsor animals valuable as prize-winners..In illustration of this fact it may bestated that Mr. Francis L. Coyle hasreceived inquiries from New Orleansasking him for selling prices of hisprize-winning chickens.

The following were the rules forthe contest:

Entry Fee-Poultry, single pen,25c; two to five pens, 50. Animals,single animal, 25c; two to five 50c.

TO FORTHE CEMETERY

Citizens !Asked to Meet at

Courthouse Wednesday.

To Take Up the Subject of

Ways and Means

For Keeping Cemetery in

Better Condition.

Probably Association Will beThen Formed.

A Letter on the Subject from

Mrs. M. E. Burns.

The following letter is from oneof the earnest workers among ourCovington women. The subjectwhich it discusses should be consid-ered and the suggestion should ap-peal to every one. Many have lovedones in the cemetery and the wisdomof God may at any time call uponus to take our habitation in the cityof the dead or to make a new gravefor some citizen or friend:Editor St. Tammany Farmer:

Several years ago an attempt wasmade by some of the ladies of ourtown to organize themselves into acemetery association. Nothing cameof it, but now again upon look-ing around the cemetery where muchreal nice work had been done for AllSaints Day we feel that it is a goodtime to suggest going to work inearnest. Many a dear one would beproud if they could see how wellkept is the spot sacred to his or he3memory, but what we must do is tokeep the whole place neat and cleanthe year round. A great many beau-tiful monuments and prettily inclosedplots are there, but perhaps rightnext to a well kept place is an oldfallen in tomb, a large tree growingout of it; or the bones of some long-mourned friend be exposed, the rela-tives gone and no one to see to orcare for the grave. Large trees growin the old part of our cemetery andtombs are crumbling away, someperhaps fifty or more years old. Theroots of trees undermine the brickwork.

Now the question is, must We al-low the place to stand as it is, onlyclean once a year--or shall we gettogether, and like other towns aroundus, make and keep the place prettyall the year? If each one who hasa dearly loved one buried there willhelp, and the Town Council will havethe trees and old tombs removed,i or appoint a committee to attend toi it right now, we can, and will, make

t it a neat and attractive looking place.9 All those interested will pleasee meet at the courthouse Wednesdayt evening, November 23, 1910, at 4f o'clock. MRS. M. E. BURNS.
