J IRELAND DEFENDS ACTION OF POPE METHODISTS' WORK IN ROME; CRITICISED Claim Made That Pontiff Could Not Receive Vice President After Attacks Were Coun. tenanced CHICAGO, Feb. 8.--A. statement was given to the Associated Press by Arch bishop Ireland today In which the arch bishop says: "People in America may easily mis apprehend the conditions in Rome -which led the Vatican to refuse an audience with the holy father to Charles W. Fairbanks, after he, a former vice president of the United States, would have made a public ad dress before the Methodist association of that city. Most likely Mr. Fair banks himself did not fully realize the meaning which Romans would attribute to his address. "It was not a question of Mr. Fair banks being a Methodist or going to a Methodist church ln Rome for Sunday devotions. It wa3 a question of ap pearing to give the fullest approval to the work of the Methodists In Rome. "The purpose of the work of the Methodist association in Rome is con fessed openly. The means employed are by no means honorable. They take every advantage of the poverty of the people of Rome. Books circu lated and displayed in the windows of their bookstores are slanders against the Catholic faith, the holy pontiff at Home and a misrepresentation of the ■Whole Catholic system. "Now a public address by a former vice president of the United States be fore the Methodist association can have no other meaning in the eyes of the Roman public than American ap proval of the propaganda of the Metho dist association. "Had the holy father, guardian of the spiritual interests of the Catholic church of the world, smilingly wel comed Mr. Fairbanks to an audience on the following day, in what other position would he appear to be than giving his approval to the propaganda of the Methodist association before ■which the address had been given? "It is simply impossible for the holy father, in his official position as sov ereign pontiff of the Catholic church, to do aught else than to say politely to Mr. Fairbanks: 'I cannot receive you and accord you the honor due you in all other capacities as an American and as a distinguished representative of a republic' " THAWS PIPE; BURNS HOME PITTSBURG, Feb.'

URGE THAT STATE DIRECT CHARITIES NEW YORK WOULD SUPERVISE RELIEF OF POOR All Institutions to Be Required to Submit Annual Statements Covering Their Actlvi. ties ALBANY, >.*. Y. April ..—State su pervision of all private charitable In stitutions and associations not now subject to visitation and inspection by the state board of charities, even if not in receipt of public money, is rec ommended by the board in its report to the legislature. The board also sug gests that all such institutions be re quired to submit annual reports of their activities. Under a decision of the court of ap peals, In what was known as the Gerry case in 1899, charitable societies and Institutions under private control, which are not in receipt of state money, are excluded from the bene fits of state Inspection and supervi sion. During the ten years since tills decision was rendered the number of such societies and Institutions has in creased from about 600 to more than 750. Their annual expenditures are es timated at over $10,000,000, and they have many thousands of beneficiaries and inmates. The activities of these institutions include tho care of aged, infirm and sick persons, the protection and educa tion of dependent children, the guard ianship and training of defectives, and the custody and reformation of delin quents. The responsibility of the state for the supervision of these classes especially, as well as others ln need of help or maintenance, is generally recognized. Private Institutions un dertaking any part of this duty as sume at once a quasi-public charac ter, and, Indirectly, arc partly sup ported by the people. They receive from the public, in many cases, ex ceptional privileges, gifts of land, ex emption from taxation and free water. Hence, their work Is of vital Interest to the public, and the state has the right to Insist that they perform their duties well and faithfully, and to know from frequent examinations that they administer their affairs hon estly. "If evils or abuses are found, the In terests of innocent persons concerned and the public welfare demand that the wrongs be righted without con cealment or mitigation of the offense, and then repetition be made Im possible."

COMMISSIONERS OF IMMIGRATION AGAIN SCATHED MACON RENEWS BITTER AT TACK IN CONGRESS HALF.MILLION- DOLLAR JUNKET TRIP DENOUNCED Southern Lawmaker Exposes Waste of Public Money and Insists on In. vestigation of Latest Wash. ington Scandal * __________ I dated rre.s, WASHINGTON, Feb. B—Demand ing an investigation of the im migration commission, provided for in his resolution, Representative Macon of Arkansas renewed his attack upon the commission in the house to day. lie vigorously defended his inform ant, J. H. Patten, secretary of the Immigration Restriction league, who was severely arraigned by Representa tive Bennett of New York, a member of the commission, in a recent speech in the house. "It is characteristic of the man to proceed in the cowardly way In which the gentleman from New York has proceeded," thundered Mr. Macon, re ferring to the New Yorker's attack on Mr. Patten. Mr. Bennett was quickly on his feet. "I object," he said, and the mem bers were all attention in anticipation of a lively scene. "I withdraw the remark," quickly responded Mr. Macon, and the tension was dissipated. .Mr. Macon's speech was made In re sponse to Mr. Bennett's defense of the commission, and he renewed his charges that the committee had been extravagant. He declared official re ports and expense accounts corrobo rated his assertions that its trip abroad in 1907 was a "junket" and that the government had had no adequate re turn from the expenditure by the com mission of $..57,993. Inquiry Is Urged "Unless my resolution to create a commission of three to investigate the extravagance of the immigration com mission is adopted, so the country will know that the extravagance I com plained of is scandalous, the people will rise and smite the party that attempts to shield the commission," said Mr. Macon.. "Six members of the commission and seven employes made the trip to Europe," he said. "They drew $90,000 on. which to make the trip, while 'In their report they account for only »Ji0,«76, "The expense accounts are made up of steamship and railroad charges, car riage charges, fees and tips, hotel bills, telegraph, wines, whisky, cognacs, mineral waters, lemonades, glaces, siphons, citrons, cigars, cleaning and pressing clothes, shaves, shines, hair cuts, shampoos and rubs. "Such luxuries as wines and whisky, cognacs, lemonades, etc., were allowed by the auditor, but he disallowed when it came to shaves, haircuts, shines and cigars." Mr. Macon characterized the stopping at high class hotels and partaking of their menus and beverages as "feast ing at public expense." He asked Mr. Bennett to explain why he could take up time to engage In gorgeous festivities In Turkey, where his wife was decorated with the in signia of the "Order of Kindness," an ancient Turkish society, by the sultan, if he could not find time to draw a long breath in Paris or cast his eyes on St. Peter's In Rome. This was in reply to Mr. Bennett's statement that his trip to Paris was record-breaking for brevity. s Another Expose Basing his remarks on inspection of the official records, Mr. Macon charged that in the Holy Land tile commission made a carriage trip from Jerusalem to Bethany, and from Jaffa to Jerusa lem; that in London they had a car riage to the ambassador's and return, a carriage to the house of lords, to Westwinster Abbey, to the Tower of London, to Regent square and tho British Museum; that in .Syracuse they had a carriage to the catacombs; that in Messina they had a ride in a landau; that In Scotland they had a pleasure ride to the Castle of Edinburgh, and in Ireland to the, famous Lakes of Kil larney. "The commission wanted to find out the kind of immigrants came to this country from all those places, includ ing the Catacombs, where sleep and decay the bones of the departed," said Mr. Macon, sarcastically. He suggested that to have gone to Mr. Bennett for his information, as Mr. Bennett suggested, would have been as practicable as to hunt "devils In heaven, or saints in hell." Election to congress, ho continued, was not conclusive evidence of in tegrity, nor did it make Mr. Bennett immune from attack. "A much larger percentage of con gressmen, whether members of the house or of the senate, havo been charged with crime and made to stand trial for felonies and incarcerated in felon's cells," he declared, "than of the secretaries of immigration restric tion leagues. "The very suggestion that one ought not to charge a congressman with hav ing done wrong until the letter of every word of every fact charged against him can be proved to a mathe matical certainty, is so contrary to what I believe to be right, that it is actually disgusting. , "The commission defends Itself against the charge of extravagance, and so did the capltol commissioners of the state of Pennsylvania defend themselves against extravagant expen ditures in the construction of that building. Morse of New York. and Walsh of Chicago, both high up in life, defended their extravagant ex penditures of trust funds. One of them It now serving time "in the peniten tiary at Atlanta and the other at Fort Leavenworth." PROHIBITION BILL PREFERRED WASHINGTON, Feb.

WANT TO PROBE FORESTRY WORK SENATORS ADOPT MOTION TO GET ACCOUNTING DOLLIVER ASKS FOR A PRINTED EXPENSE ACCOUNT Dixon of Montana Appeals to Know What Became of Million Dollar Appropriation for Special Agents [AspoclateJ Press] WASHINGTON, Feb. B.— in connec tion with a resolution offered by Sen ator Dolliver providing for the printing of a detailed statement of expenses of the agricultural department, there was an Incidental discussion of the for estry bureau In the senate today. The resolution was adopted. Senator Dixon of Montana asked why the ag ricultural department had been singled out, and in doing s.i he complained of discrimination against the department because of the Ballinger-Prhchot con troversy. if the expense account of the for estry bureau was to be printed, he wanted accounts of the land office printed also. He wanted to know what had been done with the million dollars appropriated for special agents, ii.. also would have the ppstofflce and other departmental accounts printed; he desired especially to knocv If it were true that the government was paying railways nine cents a i pound for carrying matter for which the express companies paid one-half cent. Costly Education Mr. Dixon also undertook to correct what he said was a misapprehension concerning expenditures for the educa tion of forest rangers. He said it had been charged that $200,000 Had been paid for the education of these men. whereas in western state universities no tuition was charged. lie- said there were four such insti tutions and that 160 rangers had been admitted, He said that, while attend ing these schools they were under government pay. but that the attend ance had come in the winter when there was nothing they could do in their regular work. In response to a query from Mr. Tillman, Mr. Dixon admitted that the rangers were not appointed until after they had undergone a civil service examination, and when the Montana senator declared that even then the rangers needed further instruction, the South Carollnan declared the whole thing a "humbug." Mr. Money said the document should be printed. He said the present agri cultural appropriation law carries a "slush fund" of $1,000,000 to be expend en at the caprice of officials. He did not approve of the system and thought the forestry service should be thor oughly classified. When the resolution was adopted Mr. Dixon gave notice that he would offer a resolutioln for printing accounts of all departments. ADMIRAL GOODRICH OPPOSED TO MEYER'S NAVAL PROGRAM "WASHINGTON, Feb. Rear Ad miral Caspar Goodrich, retired, was a witness before the house naval com mittee today. While he did not direct ly attack the Meyer plan, ho said he did not believe Secretary Meyer had given the Newberry #lan sufficient trial before replacing it with another. He said the Newberry plan would have saved the navy department millions of dollars annually. A member of the committee com mented on the proposed disciplining of Rear Admirals Rogers and Capps. "They will not be discharged as long as congress is in session," he said. "Secretary Meyer will find out that he cannot chop off a subordinate's head whenever it pleases him. Does he suppose that the government, which trains a naval officer from boyhood at an expense of thousands of dollars, cannot through one of Its legislative bodies ask that officer such questions as it wishes? It is ridiculous to think otherwise." TAFT URGES RELIEF FOR MEN HURT ON PANAMA CANAL WORK WASHINGTON, Feb. President Taft today sent a special message to congress, urging relief for a number of workmen injured on the Panama canal prior to the passage of the act of May 30, 1908, which definitely fixed the com pensation to be allowed Injured em ployes, or to be granted their families in case of death, In his message the president said: "It needs no argument to establish the obligation which the government of the United States is under to provide relief for its employes who are per manently disabled or maimed and for the families of those who are thus in jured or killed, through no fault of their own, while employed on work of such hazardous character as that con nected with the construction of the Isthmian canal."

Over-Eating Worse Than Starvation Seven Deaths Arise from This Cms to One of Lack »i Fsod A TrlaTPackoite of Stuart* Dyspepsia Tab lets Sent Free An English medical observer claims that for one death to starvation there are seven from overeating. His investigation is appalling and leads one to believe that among the Anglo-Saxon race overeating is a na tional crime. This investigation proves overeating to be the cause in ten cases out of twelve of dyspepsia, indigestion and stomach trouble. These diseases bring on decay and decline of the other organs, and death ensues because of an inability of the system to furnish proper nourishment to the dying and afflicted parts. When one overeats one exhausts the gastric fluids, throws undigested food into the intestines where it creates poison and germ life, and is finally ab sorbed in a putrid state or thrown from the system in a decaying form. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will over come the ill effects of gluttony and Irregular eating. They will digest an abnormal amount of food and will not leave the stomach until everything has been digested. A single one-grain Ingredient of these tablets will digest 11000 grains of food, and In this proportion is seen how even gluttony can be overcome, or at least its most harmful effects removed. Make up your mind to try Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets for one week. Take a tablet after each meal and upon re tiring at night. Every druggist carries them in stock; price SOc. It you have a druggist friend, ask his opinion. Send us your name and address and wa will send you a trial package free by mail. Address F. A. Stuart Co., 150 , Stuart Bldg., Marshall, Mich.
