DRAL YESTERDAY.
Wnhan H. Barnard, director of various
banks, trust companies and industrial
corporations, said last ni?:ht th: 1 he had
been Induced at first to consent to enter
the corporation to please an old friend,
who represented that the business was
to be a eood one- This friend, he added,
was in absolute r>cd faith, and Munroe
nad been represented as one of the sales
men of the new corporation who had
taken part in organizing the company.
•"I had no knowledge of the man's an
tecedents," added Mr. Barnard, "and I
did not know that my name was to be
used in the oraanlßßtlon of the company.
When I heard within a week that Mun
roe had already made a record in stock
•ales in New York and that my name
was beinj? used to further the affairs of
the new company, and further, when 1
heard that the new corporation purposed
to handle the stock of a company placing
a new appliance of which I knew nothing
en the. market I called in my friend and
asked that my name be withdrawn. I
do not wish to have any connection with
the affair under present circumstances."
Knew of No Board Meeting.
J. A spin wall Hodge said he had acted
as attorney to organize the company and
that his name appeared as a director,
but so far as he knew there had never
been a directors' meeting.
"I never heard of Munrne before," he
added, "and I had no Interest in the
affair except as an attorney to organize
the corporation.**
Mr. SchuyW said iast nieht that Mun- j
roe had nothing whatever to da with the j
renting of th*» premises at No. 170 i

after matters he d'd so without any au- ;
thorisation.

the total number of th* pupils, according
to Archbishop Farley, filled the benches

chairs Hong th*> sisW>s. At intervals
unions: them sat th" reMeious Sisters and
Brothers having their education in charge.

The boys and girls of St. Charles Bor
romeo's School. i42d afreet near Eighth
avenue, rode to th* cathedral on two larce
platform trucks, on which leather covered
benches had been fastened, and enjoyed
the outing more than a picnic A. shrill
cheer broke from tbeir Uttle throats as the
trucks swung- into the avenue, and they
waved wildly their orange and -white flags
of the papacy
A.S early as ».3n o'clock, an hour before
the time set for the service, th* Infant pil
grims began pouring into the vast church,
marching two by two. silent and big eyd
with awe.. As they arrived from all quar
ters the sisters and teachers of the pa
rochial schools lined them up in Madison
avenue, where the spell of wonder descend
ed upon their small heads to see all those
hit folk watching them from the police
lines, to see, the American flag undulating
lazily between the tall spires of the cathe
dral and to see the Kay hunting and small
er flags. American and papal, scattered in
esrery direction.
Sea of Little Wondering Faces.
By 10 o'clock, when the cathedral chimes
began tolling forth the notes of the eM
hymn "Holy God, "We Praise Thy Name."
the dim arches of the temple spread over
a sea of little face*, each one upturned
now and again, searching the recesses", and
each one a little pale, and drawn with the
excitement and solemnity of the novel sit
uation.
When the- eight thousand had finished
swarming into the pews the brilliance of
Wednesday's pontifical mass was repro
duced for the youngsters. The organ
boomed, and Cardinal VannutelU and th«
other prelates, together with th« assistant
celebrants of the mass, emerged from the
sacristy and wound between the ranks of
children, who had overflowed into the Kelly
rhap«L Soon filling the sanctuary was the
same sea of clergy, in their resplendent
vestments, presided over by a scarlet Car
dinal seated in the Archbishop's throne,
which had so Impressed the Imagination of
ariuits the day before.
This time the vivid point of color was
Cardinal Vannutelll. Cardinal Gfljlliaw, who
had occupied th«= throne the day before,
•was seated opposite the papal lepate on an
Improvised throne, and beside him an empty
place was reserved for Cardinal Logrue.
The Primate of All Ireland did not attend
the mass, spending the mornins: at the
Holy Cross rectory, in West 42d street.
A feature of yesterday* mass was the
chantintf of the Gregorian music by the
boys and Rlrts In the conKrepation. This
mighty ws^ of sound from fresh throats
was more In keeping with the idea* of Pope
Plus X. it was said, than had h«er the
music of "Wednesday's mass, which had
been rendered only by th» choirs at either
end of the cathedral.
"1 did not h^ar one discordant note
am one the thousands of voice? sinking."
Archbishop Farley told the children from
the pulpit. "Cardinal Vannutelli desires
me to say for him that, one of the first
pj^cp., of Information he will give the Holy
Father will he the account of your pr»senre<
hem and your remarkable einsrinsr. and he
prornteep to Bah for a special beaadicttaa
for you to come from the Pop« himself."
Assistant? to Vannu+elli
Th« Rev. Charles R Cerley, assistant
priest; the Very B«v Dean Lings and th«
Rev Isidore Meister. deacons of honor; th*
Rev. Matthew A. Taylor, deacon of the
mass, and the Rev. John E. Burk». sub
deacon, assisted Cardinal Vaatraarin a3
celebrant of the mass.
Following the consecration of th*. Host
the musical programme was conducted by
the Rev. John 1 Kean from the pulpit, as
sisted by the Rev. John B. Young, the Rev.
Daniel <">• 'onnor and ethers, who had
drilled the children for several we*»kn. Th©
numbers were as follows:
Processional, "Blessed Is the Faith," by
the Per. 3. B Young: Proper of the Mass.
Qi mill lan Ordinary of the Mas*. Qrese
rtan; Offertory. "Jew Dulds Memorla,"
choral Recessional. "Holy God." choral;
Pcstlude. 11th sonata Op. 148. Rheinberger.
"When, the vaults had cea3«d ringing with
the staging of the little ones Archbishop
Farley mounted the pulpit and said:
"My dear children, I would not think of
■Mowing you to go homo without a word
from myself, evea 11 there w-r* not a
special sermon for you to be given by
DfimaUll— McO«an. Of ail the living be
ings in this world none Is so dear to Him.
our dear Saviour, as you, one of our little
children
"Bo I mad* up mr anal that you should
have, tha opportunity of assisting in the
service* of consecration week. Not more
than one-twelfth of all the parochial school
children are here, but you represent all the
schools, as all could not come or enter here,
and that is why your presence here la so
Important."
Then th* Archbishop delivered Cardinal
Vannutelb's complimentary message with
regard to the singing, adding:
"His eminence Cardinal Gibbons, who has
remained over so that he might see you,
also desires me to say that nothing has
given him more pleasure than listening to
roof fresh, sweet voices. And 1 add my
voice in your honor. Cardinal Vannut«ll!
gives you his blessing."
New York Rector Preaches.
. Monstgnor McGean. rector of St. Peters.
in Barclay street, the oldest Roman Cath

! REPLY TO FATHER VAUGHAK
Brooklyn Clergyman Points Out That
Presbyterians Have No Bishop.
Replying to Father Vauehan. the Rev
Dr. S. Edward Tooad pastor of the Bed
ford Presbyterian Church, Brooklyn, who
framed the resolution adopted by the Pres
byterian Ministers' Association of Greater
New York which was attacked by th
English priest, made the following state
ment yesterday:
Father Vaughan"s rhetoric Is most brill
iant I do not wonder that crowds fioc.-c j
to hear him. His app-als for righteousness
will have. I hope, the response they wey
merit. I am bound to say. however, that
he quotes the Presbyterian Ministers AS
sociation as saying what It did not .say-
There was not a word in that resolution
about commercial prosperity or skyscrapers
or anything of that sort; and yet Father
Vaughan'3 reply Is based upon his repre-
Fematlon that the resolution contained much
expressions. Anybody by reading the reso
lution, which was printed word for word
In Tuesday'? papers, will find no mention or
these forms of prosperity: but will find the
avowal of the desire for the fullest cor
diality of Catholics an.i Protestants tow
ard one another, a repudiation of the a*
sertion that Protestantism Is dying out and.
in rejoinder to Father \ aughan 3 deciara-
Son* that only Roman Catholicism can ,aye
America, the •ogveatioii of a comparison
between this country. where r^otestant.
has been predominant, and those wherai
Catholicism has prevailed ,
Father Vauchan comes back a oa_ WM
the utterance of an American bishop to the
effect that Protestantism is moribund. Now
even though Father Vaughan has been her
only two days, he should have known that
Presbyterians do not have bishops and
could therefore, hardly be held w»ponrtW'
for a bishop's pronouncement. Personal. >.
I cherish only the be«.T filing toward
Catholics and count among them many or

in the fanaooi controversy over the "we

eration nf Labor, in the T'nit*d State.* Su
preme Court. The case will probsbly come
up for argument next week.

lumbia issued a broad injunction against th-
American F«>deratlon of -Labor to prevent
it from boycotting the Buck's Stove- and
Ransre Company, which was charged with
operating an "open shop ■ The r-onrt of Ap
! peals ef th* district modified the decree of
the low«r court. This modification fo-med
the basis of th* brief presented to the- ceurt
to-day. •
"The role argument for th* right to boy
cott rests upon the proposition." says the
briff, "adopted as true hi the opinion of
Chief Justice Shepard, that what one man
may lawfully do any number of men may
lawfully agree or combine to do. But the
right of an individual to withhold his cus
tom from persons who deal with 'A' \3 as
unquestionable as his right to w^thboM l
custom from *A* himself. Within reasonable
limits any person may express disapproba
tion of an actor in a theatre, but a combi
nation of persona to hiss him and to have
ethers do so would be unlawful. W» submit
that tender consideration for the possible
contingent future rights of a wrongdoer
should not be carried so far as to withdraw
present protection from the Injured party
against the wrong actually being inflicted
on him."
