ATROTARY LUNGH Explains Misconceptions as to Sovereignty, Temporal Power and Diplomacy The definite nature, juridically, of | the concordat signed between Muss lini, for Italy, and Cardinal Gasparri, for the Vatican, February 11, last, at Rome, creating the V_ ican State, was the subject of the luncheon talk before the Rotary club, today, Father Slag being the speaker. Father Slag did not touch on the religious aspects of this great event in the history of today, but he sought to clear away slight errors and larger misconceptions on the point of papal sovereignty that have crept into the news and the comment associated vith the concordat. Recognized Sovereignty Italy, he said, did not grant the pope sovereignty. The pope had that before deprived of his temporal rule in 1870 by Italy. He held to it ever since and in part exercised it in send- ing nuncios to various world capitals. What Italy did in the recent treaty was to recognize that sovereij:nty. One of the big features of the treaty, said Father Slag, was the ac- ceptance by Italy of the authority of the canon law. Before that, mar- riages were purely a civil affair with the Italian government. Under the acceptance of the canon law the right of priests and of other ministers to perform marriage rites is recognized. Catholicism becomes the recognized state religion of Italy. This was not such a big concession in the view of | Father Slag, as 99 por cent of the Italians already are Catholics, he said. It puts religious teaching into the schools, but dissenters to this can ab- sent their children from the religious instruction. The Vatican City, he said, is simply | a quarter section of territory with the main Vatican buildings on it, 160 acres, sufficienuly large for the pope to exercise his functions through staffs or colleges. He rejected tenders of a larger area as he did not want temporal subjects. Can Name Bishop as in U. 8. By the recognition of his sover- eignty, said Father Slag, the pope can appoint bishops to the various Italian dioceses same as he has been doing in the United States. Before the treaty, Italy claimed that authority. It also restores the right to hold property, same as is the church status in the United States, but was not in Italy following the seizure of Rome by General Cadorna in 1870 and the immurement of the popes in the Vatican. Father Slag gave an_ interesting preface to the treaty of February 11, by going back into the days of the apostolic consecration, of the cata- combs church, of the protection of the church by the Emperor Constantine, which permitted it to come above ground and conduct its rites, of Pepin’s assumption of the defense of Rome in 554, of Charlemagne's in- crease of the rights of the church and of Napoleon's interference and carry- ing off Pope Pius VII in 1804, to Avi- gnon and to Germany. Napoleon, he said, signed his own abdication later with the same pen with which he compelled Pope Pius VII to sign his. Nuncios Civil Diplomats ‘The popes exercised temporal power over the papal states until the war of the unification of Italy by Gari- baldi and Cadorna, when the pope was dispossessed. Father Slag also explained that the pope does not send nuncios to the various governments in a religious sense, but as civil diplomats to handle juridical questions that arise. In that sense Pope Benedict served as inter- mediary for the exchange of war prisoners in the World war. Guests at the luncheon included Elmer Lilleskov, Miles City, Montana; Dwight N. Lewis, Chicago; Mrs. Mil- dred Duemeland, and Roy Baird, Dickinson. VETERAN RAILROAD CONDUCTOR 1S DEAD Helmer J. Vangsness, former Minnesota Resident, Suc- cumbs at Minot Minot, N.

High School Students Injured in Auto Crash Albert Lea, Minn., May 15.—(?)— Six Albert Lea high school students were injured, one seriously, when their automobile crashed into a tree near here last night. Horace Mott, 14, son of Mrs. Laura Mott, is in a hospital in serious con- dition.

IN NEW YORK oe New York, May 15.—Tucked away near the river's rim. and in the very shadow of the giant symbols of the metropolis, are colonies of trans- planted peoples whose manners go unchanged throughout the years. Believe it or not but there are whole families of Armenians living in Washington street who have never wandered off that street. Believe it or not, but there are folk who have lived there for 25 and 30 years without having seen anything of the great city which lics just be- yond the corner. Their lives go on as they went on in their homeland. They cluster in a little band; they go to their shops downstairs and there they toil until —? ° night; they go upstairs to their native | h dinners and their native pastimes. For them there has been no change, save in geography. Entering into their home life—if you can—you will find a family group squatted on the floor around the in- evitable rug. In the center of the rug will be the inevitable water pipe, with many long stems, and there they will be squatting and smoking the hours away. Some will be wearing She suc- | | native costumes, though most of the imen have taken to American suits. | Thus they live and thus they die, con- | tent to be left alone and unbothered. | In such circles any intrusion from | outsiders is resented. Few indeed are the Americans who have been in- | vited beyond the door. I have been told by social workers who operate |in this district that many years of jeffort are just beginning to win re- |sults, At first the well intentioned | activities of those engaged in sanitary | and medical work met with suspicion |and rebuff. Any effort to bring med- | attention, for instance, | upon as an undesired intrusion. | ‘They preferred their | wives and medicos, ho their methods: they preferred to prac- | tice customs quite alien to our own but traditional in the old homeland. * OR OR Holswing ee a Onis Eee the The business of changi one of \B te Mrs, Stella | those huge electric plays which each, lent; Mrs. Siclla voadway the gay white way Aaberg, secretary: Mrs. J.

LaFrentz, a former Minoter and 10 has been employed on a farm 12 miles east of Columbus, is dead by electrocution, having sacrificed his life to save a cat from the threat of death. The accident happened Tucs- | day evening near the Lee Dillage farm in Burke county, where La- Frentz was employed. While several persons watched, La- | Frentz climbed a highline pole to! bring down a cat which had perched itself among the highly charged wires. As he touched the cat, which was in contact with one of the wires, one of the metal hooks on his legs used for climbing came in contact with a ground wire on the pole, sending a circuit through his body. Both he and the cat fell about 30 feet to the ground. LaFrentz’s death was instan- taneous but the cat, although uncon- scious for several minutes, recovered and today is apparently none the worse for its exp:rience. Dr. C. J. King of Columbus, coroner of Burke county, investigated the death of LaFrentz and questioned those who had witnessed the tragedy. He decided that an ‘nquest was un- necessary.
