WON'T ANSWEK QUERIES
William !V Farrell. rector of Sfl. Peter
jiinl rjul'B Jlomnn Catholic Church,
Lrooklyn, nhon-e-1 ojxm hostility o Com
mlrsloner Cliurles II. Strong and flatly
vfurcd to answor questions at the char
ity Inquiry In tho ttir Association rooms
)ilrda).
1 1 o would not comment on the
IJuniiihlet, lie had written uttichlna tlie
Investigation and utd he had no respect
for tha vvliolo proceeding, ht emb
pui.ullip was un outrago sind ho was
ilinmonnl merely to be "haraesod, be.
dtvllW and owiawliutod. Just as you did
Tiin Mulry."
l'utlier Farrell wan coaahed by Will
lam H. Uutler of 190 Montague street,
J'.iooktyn, who received pormlsslon from
thn commissioner to advlso tho clergy
nun In place of Stephen C. Baldwin,
kept awriy by Illness.
At Urn start of the proceeding, when
Father Farrell acknowledged writing the
two Icallets. "A Public SixutdaJ" and
"Charity for ftevenUM," which were die
trlbuted broadcast among Catholic
chutclioa and tent to the Lugliluture,
Commliuiloner Wrong aald:
"T.-icrc Is a serious Indictment In these
pamphlet, if there la a conspiracy
ogiilnct tho itomun Catholic Church I
should know, It."
I'nthcr Farrell besides admitting that
1 .l written booklnts with tho tltlea
niiii'loneil raid hn wiu the author also
or four letters protesting against the
Implication.
"I am tho only citizen In Greater New
York who has been subpoenaed here,"
ho exctalmed. "I knew that I was golnr
to be culled and that I was going to be
thrown to the llon."
hen John Klrkland Clark, Commls
uoiier Strong's assistant, denied that
ihc priest was the only witness who had
"n stibpomaed the latter characterised
lie Kummonlntf of him last Friday a
i "circus" and asserted that the Com
missioner had no right to have M.n ques
tioned for expressing his private opin
ions. .Mr Clark .ulscd Father Farrell If

gation. hj Folks Inflnencrd Whitman.
t understand CommlnMonor ftr3ng
ivus appointed by Oov. Whitman a, the
solicitation of Homer Folks." was tho
rinstM r
"The appointment, at, you know," re
tulncd Mr. Clark, "was under the More
Jtid act, to which I call your attentljn."
"You need not do that," returned
'"her Farrell. "I have no respect for
ic whole proceedings." Ho produced
n anonymous p.i i plilot In which many
iespaper headlines and clippings were
collected to show the general press
opinion of the Investigation.
"The people who got up this pamphlet
ire a et of skunks," h said vehemently.
"I nant that to no on the record."
On Mr. Clark's accusing him of dls-i-eniln'ttlng
through the State falre
MHtements the irlest retorted with a
nferrnce to the death of Thomas M.
Mulry, lite president of the Emigrant
Industrial Savings Dank, who testified
as to Ills conduct as a member of the
St.ito Board of Charities.
"1 understand Mr. Mulry died of nat
ural crimes," asrerted Mr. Clark.
"I avr. not sure of that." said the
Unci's. "I have the testimony of his
family that he w.ia In perfect health
Pi lor to his appearing here."
Finally Father Farrell declined to
submit to any further questioning on the
I'dvloe of his attorney, who argued that
the investlg-itorn wern seeking to Inquire
Into 'ho priest's private affairs.
"Don't you think." Commissioner
Strong asked the clergyman, "that you
owe It to me to discuss these pamphlets,
jln-c they h.ivo been circulated pub
l.rly'." "No, I don't." said Father Farrell "I
tvouM meet you privately and discus
tho matter with yon, hut you have no
tight to drag me out here In title public
manner. I Intend to etatrl on the
pamphlets."
William II. Hotchklsf, counsel for the
Charities Department, endeavored to
nraw an explanation from Falhor Farrell
ccm.ernins tho comments In his articles,
"lid tho prleft replied warmly:
"I ii-f uie to bother my head with your
'lueMlons. The Idea of your standing
there uskinK mo questions !"
Tin- priest, however, related how he
was Informed by the editor of a Brook
lyn nuuop'iper that the lutter had sent
u special man to "get a line on tho In
vehtluatlon." and that this man had re
jiorted that n reporter for a news asso
ciation had been bought and that "the
newsp.ipcr Items were belroj manufac
tui'd." I..itt. Father Farrell tald that he
personally did not believe that either
th!s reporter or th o'her correspondents
reporting the Investigation were dis
honest lie adde.l that he was simply
rttalllnK what In had heard.

JUSTICE DECIDES TO-DAY
ON ST. PATRICK'S PARADE
Greenbaum Heare A. 0. H. "Regular" and "Outlaws"
Argue, but His Pleas for Compromise Are Scorned
Title to Property May Be Affected.
"It's u caso of Tweedledum nnd
Twcodledee." exctalmed Hupteme Court
Justice Oreonbaum last evening after he
had postponed his dinner lo hear tho
argument of the two r.val factions of the
Ancient Order of Hibernian aa to which
shall hold tho annual St. Fatrlck's Day
pnrsdo In this city 0:1 Friday. He will
make his decision to-d.iy.
Tho two word "In America" and a
valuablo bit of thoatro property at lleth
street and Fifth avenuo form Ihe bone
of contention. Both sides Anally ad
mitted this, although at first they tried
to maintain that ,ueir argument was its
to who shouUi he marshal of the parade.
Th. permit wa Issued .to the Ancient
Order of Hltx-nilatis, New York Count),
by Follce Commissioner Woods at Mayor
Mltchel's order. The Ancient Order of
Hibernians in America, Now York
County, thereupon applied for un In
junction to prevent the other faction,
which they assert Is composed of man
suspended from the national organisa
tion because of non-payment of dues,
Irom using the permit for n parade. All
application was also made for u manda
mus on Commissioner Woods to Issue the
"regulars" a permit and cancel the first
one.
Words "la America" tbr Baals.
The words "In America" nrn the dls
tlngulshlng marks of tho two bodies.
The national organisation contains tbtm
In Its name und the 'outlaws" omit
them, It Is ald. The property, owned by
tho county organization before the
schism came. Is to be made tho subject
of a lawsuit Both sides believe that
recognition or non-rccognltlon of tho
words "in America," as deciding tho
ownership of the parade jiennlt. will have
a bearing on the disposition of the prop
erty whan tho ivue Is tried.
Thv hearing was stormy. Coroner
Tim Ilealy, leader of the, "outlaw," was
thore w ith John J. O'Connell of 31 Nas
sau street, thulr lawer. and about 100
followers. Koderlck Kennedy, president
of the "regulars." was thoro with J.
I'ower iMne'.lan as attorney and an
equal number of loyal ones.
Mr. Donrllon explained ilrst that the
Ancient tirder of Hibernians In Amer
ica was founded In IJ34 und that the
New York county division had held a
parade every year In this city for sev
enty s'cars. Under u city ordinance of
1914 It has a tight to 11 permit for the
parado unless a complaint Is made
against the celebration us c. nuisance.
The ordinance provides that liny or
ganlzation which has paraded for ten
years shall be free from restrictions.
Asslttant City Corporation Countel Lth
tiian. who hod been served with 11 writ
to appvar, endeavored to explain that
this was not Imperative, but Justice
Oreenbaum cut him short by declaring
that such was his Interpretation ot the
law.
Mr. Donellan argued that slnco the
Henly men had been thrown out of the
national organization they could nt
longer represent the Irish teop.j and
that the duly accredited Hibernians,
headed by Hoderkk Kennedy, known as
the Ancient order of HlbtnilaiiB Irv
Amerlcu, New YorK County, mut git
Ihe parade pel mil.
Mr. O'Connell argued that theso sus
pended men form tno local roclfty, the
Ancltnt Order of Hibernians. New York
County, which has heretof.vo paraded,
und that their standlm; with the national
body matters not. Furthvrmoie, bu ar
gued, their suspension was Illegal and
will be Investigated at the coming con
vention. Justice Quisles IlotB Sides.
"Arc you In the Ancient Order of
Hibernians In America, or are you out
of It 7"' demanded Justice Greenbaum.
"We're In It." Mr. O'Connell replied.
"Then why won't you march In Inn
name of the Anctent Order of Hibernians
In America?" his Honor pursued.
"We won't." was all he got.
Then he. tried Mr. Donellan.
"The permits of past years have al
ways been mado out to the Ancient
Order of Hibernians, New York ''ounty.
without tho words 'In America,' " he
said.
"That was before these men wcro m
pended," said Mr. I'onellan.
"Then why won't you march with
these men under a permit made out In
th same way as tn pa.t yean?" the
Judge asked.
"Wo won't."
And the two factions looked spitefully
nt each other, while Justice Greenbaum
asked, mystified : "What's In a name?
It's Tweedledum vs. Twellc!ee."
Mr Donellan charged openly that the
Maor had ordered tne parade permit
granted to Coroner Tint lltaly's (action
the "outlaws," heeuuse of political alll
llatlons. Tho "regulars" applied for their
permit on January 6 and tho "outlaws"
on January' 0. The Maor heard both
sides.
"He admitted we were right techni
cally," declared Mr. Donellan, "but we
might au well have tried to go up In a
balloon with a pitcher of Icewater and
put nut the light as break the political
fettern that held the Mayor to his course,
surrounded nr. he was by afternoon tea
drinkers and midnight tangolsts. The
I'o'.lcc Commissioner sat there without
exercising any Judgment at all and wlvn
the h'.arlng was over, "I'll b t you know
to whom to give tho permit later," says
the Mayor." 1
Mr, I'onellan referred to I'epu'y C m.
mtsiiorit r !uy Scull as "a charming fe I
low, but with vi ry little mental calibre."
JuMlce Oreenbaum tried to effect a
compromise, but the "outlaws" declared
that they had th" permit and would not
submit to any Insertion of thu words
"In America." although the court sti.
