SOCIETY LOCATED IN FAMED CHURCH Holy Name Headquarters Es- tablished in Santa Maria Sopra Minerva. The Holy Name Society has offices ®s world-wide as the clientele it pro- poses to serve. Wisely these offices have been long established in the universal city, Rome. Many centuries ago Fra Diego de Vittoria, a Spanish Dominican, erected the headquarters of the Holy Name Society in Rome at the church of Santa Maria Sopra Minerva. It is interesting to note that St. Ignatius Loyola joined the Holy Name Society at this branch in the Minerva. Pompey Builds Minerva. ¢ Santa Maria Sopra Minerva is in- teresting even in its name. The name Santa Mar Sopra Minerva (St Mary over Minerva) marks the tri- umph of Christianity over paganism, for the present church stands on the site of an ancient pagan temple, like a victor gladiator with his foot on the conquered. When the illustrious Pompey the Great returned to Rome 1o receive his triumph for conquering Syria and Asia Minor, he marked his gratitude by founding a temple to the warlike Minerva, the goddess who sprang in full panoply from the brain of Jupiter. This pagan temple to flourished while paganism flourished, but with the decline of paganism it, too, failed and died. Gradually the temple of Minerva fell into disuse and later into decay. In the fifth cen- tury, the invading barbarians com- pleted its destruction and a century later their Christian chiidren erected on the same site a church to the honor of the Blessed Virgin with the title “Sancta Maria in Minervium.” They could not get away from the traditions of the locality In 750, Pope Zachary gave the church to the Basilians and exiled Greek monks who had taken refuge in Rome. The Basilians soon after removed to larger quarters, but re- tained possession of the Minerva. In 1252, however, Pope Alexander IV in- stalled a congregation of penitents, but since the building was too small for their needs, they, too, had to look elsewhere for suitable accommoda- tions . Dominicans Acquire Minerva. At this juncture the Dominicans, who were established at Santa Sabina, applied for the Minerva. After considerable delay the Dom nicans received the title to the Con- vent and Church of Sancta Maria in Minervium. Hardly had they obtained possession of the ancient church and convent than they made prepara- tions to supplant the old church by a new and more spacious one. Two celebrated Florentine architects of the order, Fra Sisto and Fra Ristoro, drew the plans for the undertaking, and work was begun around 1280. The vastness of the structure, however, and its multiplicity of details held off completion for two centuries. Only after years of struggle and repeated renewals was the new church finished in the middle of the 15th century and named Santa Maria Sopra Minerva. Rome, the city of churches and the world's art, possesses but one old Gothic church, and that is the Minerva. The many centuries which have nourished the growth of the magnificence of the Minerva have contributed abundantly to the artistic stores of the church. Pere J. J. Berthler, O. P., gives a list of 151 artists who have worked in the Minerva. Among this numbey are found such masters as Michelangelo, Fra Angelico, Perugino, Bandinelli, Filipino Lippi, Mino da Fiesole and Glotto. Michelangelo’s “Christ.” Michelangelo contributed his fa- mous “Christ,” a statue representing the risen Christ. Christ stands erect, and holds to His breast the cross, the sponge, a rope and a long reed. The “Christ” was completed during the fullness of Michelangelo's glory, and dates from 1514-1521. The yellowish brown marble statue of St. Sebastian, the Roman warrior saint, which is at- tributed to Mino da Fiesole, is another masterpiece of sculpture. “More of Perugino's work is found in the room of St. Catherine of Sienna. A picture of the crucifixion hangs over the altar and arcund the sides of the room appear Peter and Paul, St. Dominic and John the Baptist. Amidst this gorgeous group and resting in front of the crucifixion and directly above the middle of the altar is the widely copied Catherine in Her Oratory,’ by Bronzino. This Room of St. Catherine is really a chapel, but it is called a room because it contains the four walls of the little chamber in which the great St. Catherine died. Cardinal Barbarin secured permission from the Congregation of Charity in 1637 to extract these walls from St. Cather- ine's house at 14 Via Santa Chiara, Rome. Has Many Chapels. The Minerva has many other beau- tiful chapels, such as the Annunci- ation and the Rosary, and each one of them would be worth detailed con- sideration. But even more renowned than the works of art which form the treasurers of the headquarters of the Holy Name Society are the num- ber and renown of the relics of Maria Sopra Minerva. The most famous of these relics, of course, are those of St. Catherine of Sienna. St Catherine of Sienna died April 29, 1380, only a short distance from the Minerva in her home at 14 Via St. Chiara, which Pope Urban VI had given to her. At the time of her death she was brought to the Minerva on the shoulders of her disciple, Stefano Masoni, and buried in the common cemetery. In 1385 her for- mer confessor, the Dominican, Blessed Raymond of Capua, had her body re- moved from the cemetery and buried near the last pillar on the right side of the church, just opposite the Rosary Chapel. On this plllar was erected the first monument to St. Catherine. It is an angel holding in his outstretched hands a broad scroll: “Here tarries the humble, worthy, prudent, kind Catherine, who had the zeal to save a dying world. Under her mother, Lapa, and later her father, Dominic, this pure virgin of Sienna flourished.” During the refinishing of the church in the last century, some one cast this venerable, but possibly shabby monu- ment on the refuse pile. Fortunately it was recovered in 1868 and is still preserved on the stairs leading to the Casanate Library adjoining the Minerva. Relics Are Removed. In 1430 St. Antoninus, the prior of the Minerva, removed the relics of St. Catherine to the Rosary Chapel and set them in a handsome marble tomb. There they remained until 1855, when they were placed under the main altar, where they are now. Besides its own great dead the Minerva offers final hospitality to five Popes and many other notable figures of history. Two of the Popes are Medicis, Leo X (Giovanni de Medici), and Clement VII (Glulio de Medici). Benedict XIII, himself a Dominican, belonged to the ancient Orsini family and Paul IV was a Caraffa. The fifth Pope is Urban VIIL Other historical personages buried in the Minerva are the famous Eng- lish eardinal, Philip Howard; Cardinal Torquemada, Bishop Durandu father of liturgical science; Rob: Minerva | Catholic Priest : Probably First White in District A Catholic priest was probably the first white man to set foot on the present site of the District of Columbia. Father Farmer, a Jesuit, who ac- companied Lord Baltimore and his “cavalier gentlemen” when they landed on the coast of Maryland, immediately left the white settlers and started inland, preaching the gospel. It is certain that Farmer pene- trated as far as the KEastern Branch. His journal contains ref- erence to “the king of the Ana- costians” as a likely subject for conversion. Farmer was later sent to Eng- land in irons, under sentence of death, but was freed on a second trial. EX-CONVICT ELUDES CAPTURE IN KILLING Diamonds Found Disprove Theory in Murder of Wealthy Woman in West. September 20.— Conner, alias Harry Garbutt, of Joliet penitentiary, connection with the slay- ing at Pasadena last night of Mrs. Clifton R. Hunn, wife of a wealthy Chicago manufacturer, continued to- night to elude authorities of south- ern California. The murder Harry ex-convict sought in suspect, alleged by two witnesses to have been seen last as he rushed from the bungalow court apartment in which Mrs. Hurn was killed, was the subject of a wic spread man hunt, one of the most prominent features of which was an unproductive search of the home cf Mrs. Frances Morehouse, Conner's aunt.

Mrs. Hunn, according to had aided Conner both in his release from prison, to which he wa sent for robbery and in giving him money and clothes so that in California he might live down his record of crime. EQUAL RATES ASKED. New York Wants Rail and Water Tariffs Changed. The port of New York authority, in a petition to the Interstate Commerce Commission and the Shipping yesterday. requested a general equal- ization of rail and ocean freight rates through all northern and south- ern ports, including Canada. The petition was sent to both bodies so the case might be brought before the joint Interstate Commerce Commission-Shipping Board com- mittee. It asks that all North and South Atlantic ports be placed on an equal competitive basis relatives, obtaining Colonna and Frangipani families and numerous lesser cardinals and nobles. Two American cardinals, although they were not buried in the Minerva, wers connected with it during life Both John Cardinal McCloskey, the first American cardinal, and the late Cardinal John Farley of New York had the Minerva as their titular church. Present The glories of Restrictions. the Minerva have suffered somewhat from the over- throw of the papal government in 1870. For ages previous to that time the Popes and the whole pontifical court had come to the Minerva every year on the feast of the Annuncia- tion. Up to the time of Pius VI the Pope rode a white mule in the pro- cession and carried the Blessed Sac- rament himself; but since that infirm pontiff could not conform to the reigning custom he appointed the Grand Almoner to sit on the papal, mule and carry the Sacred Host. The Holy Father followed in a coach. This custom held sway until 1870. All of this, of course, was abandoned when the Pope became the prisoner of the Vatican. Moreover, the Italian government has taken over some parts of the convent for government work and de- prived the-order of its remarkable Casanate Library. The headquarters, the world offices for so many centuries of the Holy Name, Society remain one of the principal points of observation for Roman tourists. They are magnificent and venerable, old and yet well pre- served. And their glory is no less real because 80 much fo it is of the past. JOHN T.

HOLY NAME BRANCH BOON T0 SOGIETY Organization in Holy Trinity in 1913 Brought New Life to Work Here. The organization of a branch of the Holy Name Soclety in Holy Trin- ity Church, Georgetown, D. C., Jan- uary 17, 1913, may be said to have been the incentive that put new life into the society of the Washington section. While the society had been in existence for a number of years in some other parishes, very little energy and activity seemed to be dis- played. But with the advent of Holy Trinity new lite, new vigor was im- parted, interest in the organization was increased and has steadily in- creased since then until the present time. This revivifying effect was not due 80 much to the mere organization of a branch in Georgetown, but was due entirely and solely to the energy and zeal of the members of the new branch. New {dcas in organization work were introduced; a systematic reckoning of the attendance at holy communion was kept and various other schemes were adopted, such as entertainments, smokers, lectures and so forth to interest the men in the society. The result was that nearly every man in the parish became affiliated with the branch, and Holy Trinity was for some years the leader nu- merically in membership. New Branches Started. The ideas of this new branch were copied by other already existing branches; new branches were started and in nearly every instance the Holy Trinity branch was held up as a model of efficiency and a sample of what might be called a “live wire,” and it still remains a “live wire” to this day. The initial meeting was called and the temporary officers were selected by Father Corbett. They were: John H. Doyle, president; Frank J. Wis ner, secretary, and Frank K. Green, now marshal of the Supreme Court of the United States, treasurer. At the initial business meeting other officers were elected as follows: Vice president, Joseph C. Murray, who died a few years ago, and Daniel Sullivan, marshal. Mr. Green being unable to serve as treasurer, Michael . Harty was elected treasure On January 27, 1913, 368 Holy Name members were solemnly received into the society by the pastor, Rev. Ed- ward M. Corbett, S J. In the follow- ing years new members were con- stantly increasing the ranks. until May, 1920, when the number of mem- bers received in the seven its existence amounted to 778. V ous solemn receptions were held;, as that of April 8, 19 when his excel- lency, the apostolic delegate, now Cardinal Bonzano, was present, or the one of February 15, 1920, when Very Reverend Jame T Fowler, O. P, Dominic’s, reccived some 70 new members. In the new Holy Trinity branch the members were divided into bands and to each a prefect was assigned, Every prefect had in his band members 1iv- ing in his neighborhood, so that the attendance could readily be ascer- tained.

An employment committee was ap- pointed and by this means many situ- ations were secured; a sick commit- tee was also appointed to look after the sick brothers, and a resolution was passed providing for five masses to be offered for each deceased mem- ber. A special committee was ap- pointed, with Jeremiah E. Donovan as chairman, to raise monecy enough to purchase manuals, buttons or badges, and these were distributed gratis among the members. A beau- tiful banner was purchased in the same manner. . The officers were re-clected year after year, with the exception of the treasurer, who served less than one term, his place being filled by the election of Timothy G. Cavanaugh. In 1916 the secretary refused re- election and John G. Reckert was elected in his stead. A few years later John C. Schombert was elected treasurer, who is etill retaining the office. In 1921 a change in the presidency was deemed necessary. So John T. Guilfoyle was elected president and arl P. Ready secretary, with Frank ann as marshal. Mr. Guilfoyle ned office until this year, when Earl P. Ready was elected to the presidency and Joseph A Kuhn was chosen secretary. Ag ®e same time George E. Potter was chosen vice president of the sodiety. M * Gen. Bowley Ordered to fiosyita.l, Brig. Gen. Albert J, Bowley, at Fort Brageg. N. C., General Hospital, for treatment. has been ordered to the Hot Springs, Ark., John of Vercelli First Director Of Holy Name Organization Master General of Dominican Order, One of Most Noted Friars of Thirteenth Century—Active for Many Decades. The first director and probably the founder of the Holy Name organiza- tion was an elderly friar named John of Vercelll, who at the time was master general of the Domiaican or- er. " John was chosen as director of the new order by Pope Gregory X, who wished to reward the noted friar for his zeal and devotion. ~John of Vercelll was born in or near Vercellf, Italy, at the beginning of the thirteenth century. His achieve- ments as a student in the schools of Vercelli and at the University of Paris attracted the attention of his elders, and he started auspiciously on a carcer as professor and preacher. While in Parls fle became interested in the newly founded Order of St. Dominic and soon enrolled as a mem- ber. Has Remarkable Career. It was not until the middle of the thirteenth ocentury, according to Rev. Reginald Hughes, O. P., of New York that John's apostolic endeavors began to draw widespread attention. “From 1251 until his death 30 years later the affable old friar passed through a career which merited sin- gular admiration even In that age of great men and gigantic labors,” he states in an article in the Holy Name Journal. In 1251 he was summoned by In- nocent IV to pacify the turbulent provinces of northern Italy; in 1260 he was named to direct the suppres- sion of heresy in the same states; in 1262 the preaching of a crusade to Jerusalem was intrusted to him; in 1267 the much desired return of the Greek schismatics to the true faith found in him & zealous co-operator and the preaching of a second cru- sade fell to his lot; finally, in 1272, 1277 and 1278 we discover him on difficult diplomatio missions to Italy, France and Spain. “For 30 years John, staff in hand, trudged the roads of France, Italy and Germany, until the holy see came to regard him as one highly conversant with affairs in all Europe, and dis- tinctly capable of performing invalu- able services. Collapses on Road. ““This was the man chosen by Greg- ory X to direct the preaching of the Holy Name devotion, the man who may truly be called the first Holy Name director. Certainly in the day of John of Vercelli we do not look for an organization as complete and perfect as that of our own time. But to John must be conceded the distinction of being the first official director of the devotion. More than that, there is reason to believe that John may have been personally responsible for the Holy Name movement itself. “Worn out at last by the fatigues of countless journeys across Europe, most of them at an age when the or- dinary man seeks a restful life, the octogenarian Holy Name director col- lapsed on & road to Montpellier, France, November 30, 1283. There he died, active to the very end, surrounded by bis brethren, and thers he was buried in the simplicity that marked his life.”” KENTUCKY VOTING LAW. Kentuckians living outside their State cannot vote by mail, but must register and vote in person, Gov. Willlam J. Fields has informed Joseph E. Good- key, of Berwyn, Md., in reply to the latter's inquiry on the subject. The law permitting voters to vote by mail was held unconstitutional about two years ago, the governor said. The new registration law in brief provides, that one must register in the precinct in which he lives; that he does not have to reregister hereafter uniess he moves into another precinct; that supplemental registration dates are on October 7 and 8, which gives oppor- tunity to qualified voters who were un- able to register September 8 and 9; that a voter may register next vear if he fails to register this year, and that a voter, if he has changed his residence, may register at the regular annual reg- istration in the precinct in which he is a legal voter.
