CAPITAL'!; WELCOME
TO DOM GASQUET
Reception Given in Honor of
Distinguished Scholar
Largely Attended.
REVISION OF THE BIBLE
IS A MONUMENTAL TASK
Work Will Bequire Twelve Years
and Cost a Million and a
Half Dollars.
People of all creeds gathered in num
bers at the hall of the Knights of Colum
bus last night to honor the Rt. Rev. Ab
bot Doin Gasquet. chairman of the com
mission appointed by Pope Pius to re
vise the Latin Vulgate. The large assem
bly hall was packed to its capacity- State
Deputy K. H. Harrington introduced the
abbot, who at some length explained the
stupendous task upon which he was en
gaged.
I Supreme Grand Knight James A. Fla
herty of Philadelphia also spoke, de
claring that he knew that everywhere the
abbot went in the United States he would
be received with open arms by the
Knights of Columbus. At the conclusion
of these addresses State Deputy Harring
ton presented the abbot with a substan
tial check from the five councils of the
Knights of Columbus in this city.
In extending the. cordial greetings of
the order State Deputy Harrington said:
Extend Abbot Welcome.
"It is indeed an honor and compliment
for us to meet that great scholar and
prelate, upon whose shoulders our holy
father, the Pope, has placed the stupen
dous burden of directing the work of the
commission for the revision of the Latin
Vulgate. On his previous visit to this
country, we members of this order learn
ed to love and admire him not only for
the fact that he was the foremost Eng
lish Catholic writer, but also for the
fact that the order found in him a firm,
loyal and devoted friend.
"My duties tonight, while pleasant and
agreeable, are brief. To you, right rev
erend abbot, it gives me great pleasure
to extend a hearty welcome to this fair
capital city of our land, on behalf of
each and every member of the Order of
the Knights of Columbns in this juris
diction, and their families and friends;
as well also on behalf of the great body
of our people who, though not of our
faith, have learned to love and admire
you on account of your saintly life and
scholarly attainment^, and who also ap
preciate the magnitude of the great work
which you have undertaken in response
to the call of duty.
Pays Tribute to K. of C.
High tribute to the Knights of Co
lumbus was paid by the abbot in his
reply He said that on his previous
visit to this country he had formed
the highest opinion of this great or
ganization. When he returned to Eng
land. he said, he thought how great
it would be to have such an organiza
tion there.
Many people, he declared, do not
clearly understand what this revision
of the Latin vulgate means. It is not
to be a new Bible. He declared that it
is impossible for any one to forget or
not to Bee that small errors have crept
into the text of the Bible. "There is
no doubt that fro,m the earliest ages of
the church," he Went on, "the fathers
of the church complained of the trans
lation. AVords and sentences have been
jtaken out and inserted until errors
form the most part of the text. The
St. Jerome version was considered the
only pure version," he said. "It will
be the aim of the commission now
having the revision in charge to re
produce this version." He said the
human element had a good deal to do
with the errors that have crept in
from time to time. Those engaged in
revisions have become weary, they
have had interruptions, and all such
helped in making errors.
Aims at St. Jerome Version.
"To get the correct St. Jerome version
has been the idea of all these texts,
he said. "Most of the old revisions were
undertaken by one person, but it was
too large a task for one person. 1 he
work involves searching through many
manuscripts. In many cases some of the
readings will have to be taken trom
stone. These are first protogi aphed and
then read. .
"The commission now engased in the
task began their work in 1907. Pope
Pius X asked me to take the manage
ment of the work. Xot much was done
by the commission in the first year, but
finally they mapped out their plans and
the revision is now well under way.'
He then publicly thanked the Knights
of Columbus for their work in raising
funds and he said that loyalty of the
Knights of Columbus would crertainly
cheer the heart of the Pope. It will take
about twelve years to complete the work,
at an estimated cost of $1,500,000.
At the conclusion of the addresses the
abbot shook hands with the 1,500 people
who came to the reception.

CONFEDERATE SHAFT
IS FINISHED AT ROME

j
Ambassador Page Reports on
Excellence of $50,000 Me
morial for Arlington.
1 lie lifty-tliousand-dollar Confederate
monument, which is to be erected at Ar
lington, has been finished by Sir Moses
Ezekiel at his studio in Rome. Ambas
sador Thomas Nelson Page has viewed
the work and has reported to Col. Hilary
A. Herbert, former Secretary of the
Navy, and chairman of the .executive
committee of the Arlington Confederate
Monument Association, as to its excel
lence.
The monument plan consists of a
heroic-sized figure of a woman, repre
senting the south, lier right hand extend
ed. holding a laurel wreath, her left
resting upon a plow stock, on which are
a sickle and pruning hook, with four cin
erary urns, while the life-sized figures in
full relief surround the circular base,
showing the heroism and devotion of
men. women and children and soldiers
of the southern states. There are also
several shields representing the several
Confederate states, and inscriptions, be
sides that which states that the monu
ment is erected by the United Daughters
of the Confederacy. There are thirty-two
life-sized figures around the base of the
monument.
The base of the monument is of bronze,
with patina on the sides, which gives
bolder relief to the life-size statues. This
monument is said to be the only one now
in Europe, with the exception of that of
Frederick the Great at Berlin, which is 1
entirely of bronze, standing on a granite
curbing. It is expected the monument
will soon be shipped to the United States,
and the unveiling will probably be held
Monday, April ^7, 1914.
The work of securing the monument
was begun by Confederate organizations
of Washington. Over $50,000 was sub
scribed for the monument, of which a
large amount was secured by members
of the Daughters of the Confederacy in
the District of Columbia.
BAN ON ';MEL0N CUTTING"
IS DESIRED BY SIMS
Tennessee Representative Frames
Measure Designed to Control
Railway Corporations.
"Melon cutting" by stockholders of
large railway corporations has gone on
long enough undisturbed by Congress,
in the opinion of Representative Siins
of Tennessee, who is preparing a bill
to put a stop to the practice. Mr. Sims
plans to introduce his measure at the
next session of Congress in Uecerabdr,
and believes it will meet with the ap
proval of a majority of the members.
The measure will propose that any
interstate carrier or other corporation
engaged in interstate traffic must go
before the interstate commerce com
mission and ask permission before is
' suing new bonds or stock. The commis
| sion is to make a careful investigation
to ascertain that there is due war
rant for the proposed issue and to see
that it is sold to the highest bidder
and the proceeds used for betterment
and improvement of property.
Representative Sims declares he does
not agree with the contention that
Congress lias not the power to regu
late bond and stock sales of corpora
tions organized under state laws.

FOOD SHOW IS FREE
TO ALL WHO ARE FAT
Tipping the Scales at 200 or More
Constitutes a Ticket of
Admission.
At the food show tonight fat people)
who are really fat will be admitted free.
It was announced last night that every
man and woman who confesses to tip
ping the beam at 2<*i pounds or more will
be allowed to enter without any other
credential. '
It was announced that this was done
in order to "clean up" all of the old stock,
as it is the practice not to start a new
week with old stock, and the food show
is to continue all of next week.
In case there is any doubt about a per
son's weight, they will hav? nnk to step
on a scale which will be placed Tight be
side the entrance, with a man from the
office of the sealer of weights and meas
ures in charge. These scales will bo ac
curately adjusted, and will constitute the
last court of appeal for free admission on |
the ground of being "hefty."
It was reported that the newl* married
couples in the city, who were given the ,
privilege of free admission last night, en
joyed themselves to the utmost at the t
food show. About 16,000 persons attended
both sessions yesterday. The country .
curiosity shop was ntarted in the after
noon, and many good things for the fam
ily larder were supplied to several house
holds.
