The keen interest of the people of Washington, whose community has been as much slandered as has any in dividual. and the unwarranted asser- tion of Mr. Rankin that there has been unmasked ‘the plunder bund of Wash: ington' warrant some brief final pub- lic comment on this latest attack. Hits War Record. “Obviously for the purpose of creat ing atmosphere, Mr. Rankin refers to himself as an ‘ex-soldier of the World War,' and says that he is acting in this matter at the request of his ‘com- rades of the World War.' In view of | these references the public may be in- terested in Congressman Rankin's title to be called a ‘veteran of the World War." The ‘war record’ of John E. Rankin at the War Department shows that he eniisted October 22, 1918—twenty days before the armi- stice; that he was discharged Novem- ber 29, 1918; that his entire service was at Camp Zachary Taylor in Ken- tucky. one month and seven davs, as a candidate in the 25th Casual Train: ing Battery of the Field Artillery Casual Officers’ Training School. When the inited States entered the war in 1917 Mr. Rankin was 35 years old. unmarried and practicing law. On this heroic military er rests the oft-repeated claim that he is ‘an ex- soldier of the World War' now serving his ‘comrades in arms.’ The gallant and willing men who rendered real | service, and to whom we all owe an undying debt of gratitude, well know | Row to appraise military records such as that, Mr. Rankin, imitating Mr. Blan- n. assails Dr. Willlam A. White, ig- noring the fact that on page 867 of the record of the Fenning case it is shown that the chairman of the judi- clary subcommittee announced that there had been no evidence presented ‘connecting Dr. White with anything improper so far as any connection whatever between him and Mr. Fen- ning is concerned.’ And Congress- man Dyer added: ‘I think that is only falr to Dr. White, and I think the committee agrees with me.’ Another member of the commitiee who spoke stated his emphatic agreement with the chairman. and all the other mem bers of the committee clearly indicated their acquiescence. The chairman of the committee, as shown by the same page of the r also stated, as re- gards Dr. White, that ‘there is no evi dance in the record that 1 have been able to hear or see that connects him with any wrongdolng. so far as mis management of the hospital is con cerned.’ When this statement .was made no dissent was voiced, and it as perfectly apparent that what the sald was concurred in by every member of the committee who had heardy the evidenc Audit of Cases Finished. “Again the intimation is made that no one knows whether the estates of Mr. Fenning's wards are intact. The auditor of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia has just com pleted his annual check-up of every one of Mr. Fenning’s cases. To this court official we refer, confident that he will say that the securities, ap proximating $1,000,000 in value. to- gether with the balances in every account. have been found abso nt Repetition of an un truth has never made it true, “Once more Mr. Rankin assails the integrity of Commissioner Rudolph and accuses him of crime. The people of this community, among whom Mr. Rudolph has lived his life, whose in | terests he has served at great personal have, 1 am sure, nothing but contempt for any man. no mat- ter what his station, who attempts 1o besmirch Cuno Rudolph's character. There is repeated the feeble-mind- ed contention that any Commissioner who has signed any contract between the District and Rudolph & West Co. is a party to the commission of a ime; but, with noticeable care, those who make this contention limit the role of ‘accomplice’ to Mr. Fenning and carefully avoid making the same charge against Col. Bell, the Engineer Commissioner, whose connection with such contracts is precisely the same as M Fenning's. Not only that. but as regards Rudolph & West Co.'s contracts, other Commissioners have done exactly what Mr. Fenning has done. To refute completely the ridic- nloug charge that our Commissioners have been accomplices in crime, it is only necessary to recall to Washing- ton people the fact that Mr. Ru- Engineer Commisston- s have been Col. Charles W. Kutz, Col. Charles Keller and Col. J. Frank- {1in ‘Bell, and his fellow civilian Com- missioner, preceding Mr. Fenning, was the lamented Capt. James F. Oys- ter. Does any right-thinking citizen of thig city of ours belleve for a mo- ment that these Commissioners have If not, what basis is there for this charge against Mr. Fenning? Attack on Siddons. “Mr. Rankin covertly attacks Jus- tice Frederick L. Siddons and openly assalls the court’s opinion In the Ad- ler case. It is almost amusing to re- member that recently Mr. Bianton of the auditor of the court as a judi- cial holding that Mr. Kenning had been guilty of embezzlement, while now the court’s own clear-cut decision that Mr. Fenning was guilty of neither crime, fraud nar negligence is dismissed as unworthy of considera- tion and as & mere expression of a ‘private opinion.’ This new position is devoid of merit.

By the Associated Press A minority report trom the House judiclary committee disapproving a I'reasury Department bill to strength- en the prohibition act was filed by Representative Tucker, Democrat, Virginia. The measure, favorably reported by a majority of the committee, is pend- ding on the House calendar. Mr. Tucker took exception to the provision to permit the Government to seize vessels engaged in transporta- tion of lquor “intended for ultimate introduction into the United States, its_territories or possessions.” “Thus written,” Mr. Tucker con- tended, “it is seen that all vessels, domestic and foreign, on the high seas, transporting liquor intended for introduction into this country shall %e subject to forfeiture. “Will Shock Nations. “The bill thus ciaimed the right of the United States to jurisdiction over the high seas, not only as to its own vessels, but as to those of forelgn countries. Such a claim wiil shock the nations of the world and will be challenged by every civilized country. he freedom of the high seas, free trom the Jurisdiction of any country in time of peace, has Been recognized for years by all civilized countries of the world and by none more em- phatically than our own country. We fought one war to assert this doctrine. “The high seas are open roads, fres alike to all nations, the weakest and strongest having the same rights, and the jurisdiction of no country extends beyond the bounds of its own limits and the 3-mile limit along the coast to control or interfere with any foreign vessel, except under recognized international law or by special treaty. “It is admitted that there is no tearty between America and any foreign country that would give juris. diction to America to proceed against the vessel of any forelgn country on the high seas. We have some so- called treaties, which, in my judg- uument, are not valid under the Con- stitution, that give certain rights to America as far out as 12 miles from the shore, but not beyond that.”” The Virginia member asserted that these provisions of the bill “would operate as a challenge by the United States to the work of & principle as old as civilization itself in the international law and would bring upon the Government the just rebuke of the world civilization and to a destruction of the world harmony and ultimately to war.” Mr. Tucker's report was concurred in by four other members of the judiciary committee—Representatives Dyer, Republican, Missouri; Gorman, Republican, Illinois; Perlman, Repub lican, New_ York, and Weller, Demo crat, New York.

In response to this the latest brief says that ‘Mr. Fenning and his coun- sel boast that little evidence has been produced of the complaints of his wards,” and the brief asks how these insane wards could complain? We said nothing about complaints of in- sane wards. We pointed out that if Mr. Fenning's duty as a guardian had not been properly performed toward the Insane wards the natural persons to come forward and com plain were the members of ‘the wards’ families; the fathers and mothers, the wives, the brothers and sisters who in so many cases had Mr. Fenning appointed guardian and who, when ever dependent, have received ma- terial ald as a result of his efforts, and where not themselves dependent have the satisfaction of knowing that a competence has been built up to help their unfortunate relatives in the event of recovery. “If there had been Siddons’ decision ek 1o escape its v wrong or iand Mr. Rankin hailed a mere report |any neglect the members of the fam- ilies were the natural persons to com- plain and would naturally be the first to come forward. To them the courts have been and are alvays open. To them the hearings conducted by the judiciary committee were open. We repeat, while a few politiclans for political purposes have been making a great deal of nolse, the relatives of the insane men have, with but a single exception, voiced no complaint. This powerful fact has not been and never can be overcome.” UCHARISTIC CONGRESS NOTES By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, June 19.—A British dele- gation headed by the Most Rev. Fred- erick W, Keating arrived last night. Two worlds met and revolved har- moniously at the Drake Hotel, tempo- rary home of several of the foreign cardinale. Amid the day activities incident to the presence of cardinals, foreign dignitaries, archbishops and bishops, a convention of automobile salesmen met and talked shop. A delegation from Colombia, unable to speak a word of English, arrived at the Union Station yesterday only to find the reception’ committee side- tracked and a newspaper reporter the only person present to welcome them. He used up his limited Spanish vo- cabulary and then reverted to his even more limited Latin to direct them to congress headquarters. The Eucharist Congress in Chicago is the greatest event in the history of the Catholic Church since the Cru- sades, Count Renesse Brelelbach of Brussels, Belgium, member of the per- manent committee, declared. A final draft of traffic regulations for the downtown district during the congress eliminates all parking in a district of approximately five square miles adjacent to the business section between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. During the same hours only public carriers will be permitted in the district. An “inundating wave of spirituality” bas overcome the best minds of dinal Dubols, Archbishop of Paris, in an interview. “Intellectuals are great- ly increasing in our ranks he said, “largely because of the Eucharistic congresses held in or near France in past years.” Four hundred doctors and 200 nuises will be at hand during the services at Mundelein. A base hos- pital, 12 first aid stations and two ho: pital interurban cars have been pre- pared. Thirty telegraph wires will carry the news of the congress from Mundelein. There was a reminder of the early Catholic frontier missions, pioneers in the work among the American In- dians, as 15 Indians registered from the Sioux reservation of Yankton, 8. Dak. Cablegram greetings from King Al- fonso of Spain and from the chancel- lor of Austria to the primates of their countries vesterday emphasized the interest that Europe is taking in the congress here. Former President Seipel said his cablegram denied news dispatches from Vienna that the country was having a political disturbance. “It is only an interparty differ- ence,” the former President said. “Like a family quarrel, somewhat. They did not ask me to come back, as the dis- patches said, nor is there any need for it.” The oldest bishop in the Catholic hiearchy here is Archbishop Redwood France—college professors and stu- dent masses—said Logis Ernest Car- of Wellington, New Zealand, 88 years of age. He was a priest for 63 ye&)s. D. C. SATURDAY, PRESIDENT LAUDS RELIGIOUS Letter, Read by Secretary of Labor at Welcome to Papal Legate, Declares Faith Is Basis of By the Associated Press CHICAGO, June 19.—Before his ad- dress yesterday, welcoming the Eucharistic Congress, Secretary of Labor Davis read a letter from Presi- dent Coolidge, in which the Chief Ex ecutive expressed regret that he could not accept the invitation of Cardinal Mundelein to attend the Eucharistic Congress. The letter, dated June 16, read: “Your Eminence: “The invitation to attend the Eu- charistic Congress, extended through you, has been received. I regret that my engagements are such at this time, looking after those matters which nat urally arise at the end of a session, that it is impossible for me to ac- cept “It is reported to me that this will probably be one of the largest re- liglous gatherings of recent days held in America. Our country has long been under the mputation of putting too much emphasis on material things. Perhaps we have becn the subject of that kind of criticisra, not so much because we are roally more Interested in material prosperity than others, but because in that direccion we have been more successful than others. But, no doubt, a most conclusive answer to such criticism lies in the fact mate rial prosperity cannot be sécured un less it rests upon spiritual realities. It is imposssible to create a cor.ner cial system which Is not bullt on .red- it, confidence and faith. Without the elements of honor and honesty there can be nb economic advance. If the requirements of character be with drawn from our business structure the whole fabric would collapse. Principle Applies to Government. “The same principle applies to our Government. The day of the despot has passed. No country attempts to rely on force, but on reasons to justify its institutions. No government can long endure unless its people are con- vinced' that it is a righteous govern- ment. If our country has achieyed any political success, if our people are attached to the Constitution, it fs be. cause our institutions are {n harmony with their religious beliefs “It is for these reasons that the religious life of the Nation is 8o impor- tant.

Lauds Pilgrims’ Zeal. “When a million souls from all parts of the world leave their homes and vocations behind them for the purpose of making a pilgrimage of the extraor dinary character which is now being witnessed in this city, it is proof, it proof be needed, that religion is neither dead nor moribund in the heart of man. The zeal that brought yvou to this city is comparable to that which inspired the knights of old who roamed far and wide in search of the Holy Grail. ““We often hear it said in America that the present age is one of un bridled materialism and worldliness. This gathering is a demonstration that the light of faith that burned so bright in the middle ages is still burn- ing with no diminution of its luster. Catholics have reason to be proud of the growth of their faith in America. You have found, and I hope you will always find, in America —no matter what conditions may pre- vail in other sections af this hemi- sphere—the freedom which you require to teach your faith to young and old. “The patriotism of our Catholic citizens is not open to dispute. If there is any prejudice against Catholics in America, it comes from persons who make a specialty of prejudice, and, like all other countries, we have a few who do. “We have no quarrel with any man’s religion; and any nation that refuses to grant freedom of worship is a nation that must realize sooner or later that it has made the profound est_of mistakes. Cardinal Bonzaho in his response, spoke, in part: “At this time, in the name of his holiness, Plus XI, in the name of Cardinal Mundeléin, and in the name of all the Catholics of the world, from the depth of my grateful soul, I thank your excellency, vour honor, and through vou, the other officials of the State and city, and your fellow citizens, for this expression of esteem, which will_gladden the heart of the Sovereign Pontiff, that venerable man to whom more than 300,000,000 people look with veneration to as a father and teacher. Has Stimulated Christianity. “You can best appreciate the im- portance of this congress, yourselves, by the fact that for the past year the people of your city have been deeply stirred In preparation for fit. To this, T can add that not only have the people of Chicago and America experienced an overpowering senti- ment stimulating their hearts, but the whole Christian world has experienced a like thrill and urge. They seem to have caught something of the ‘I will’ spirit of Chicago, which has prompted her citizens to plan every detail for the most stupendous religious gather- ing this Western World ever has known. “From a booklet setting forth very briefly the growth of Chicago, I have learned that ‘its universities enroll nearly 50,000 Wstudents,” and that $50,000,000 are expended annually for the education of the 400,000 children in your public schools. To this must he added the contributions of private organizations, that of the Catholics and a number of others, who build and maintain their own schools. The reason for this self-Imposed burden was expressed by President Coolidge, the {llustrious Chief Execu- tive of your Nation, some months ago, when he sald: ‘An intellectual growth will only act toward confusion unless it is accomplished by a moral growth. * ¢ * I do not know of any source of moral power than that which comes from religion. * * * The utmost ingenuity on the part of police powers will be substantial, but wasted in an effort to enforce the law if there does not exist a strong and vigorous determination on the part of the people to observe the law. President’s. Attitude Praised. “It is plain, then, from the words of your distinguished President that he believes religion and morality, as well as knowledge, to be essential to good government. And it must be most gratifying to the citizens of this great and glorious republic to recog- nize in these words of your President the same ideas and sentiment that inspired the founders of the Nation when they caused to be impressed on the currency of the country, as an everlasting reminder, the words, ‘In God We Trust.” “Now, it i8 to honor God, to know whom the Catholics and others in this city annually.spend millions of dollars, that enormous crowds are coming to Chicago these days. * * * “I wish to say, never, never can I forget the ennobling spectacls. of this evening. This assemblage, made up Prosperity. of the representatives of every belief, is a magnificent exemplification of the universal truth that great minds and noble hearts never fall to recog- nize and admire greatness and nobil 1ty in others. Again, T ask you to accept my most grateful acknowledgment of your generous tribute of respect and esteem, not to me but to the one whom I represent, his holiness, Pius X1, the greatest and most potent spiritual and moral force in all the world.” Mayor Dever, in extending a wel- come, spoke, in part, as follows: “On this most significant occasion I deem it a matter of great pride to myself that it has fallen to my lot, as chief executive of America’s great- est inland city, to bid, as the legate of his holiness. the Pope, and you per- sonally. a most cordlal welcome to Chicago.” Highlights of Eucharistic Reception Messages By the Associated Press CHICAGO, June 19. Mayor Dever—Every worthy step in the march of modern civilization is the outgrowth of application of some Christian principle, Secretary Davis—In America you will find the freedom which you re quire to teach your faith to young and old and to be missionaries to us all. President Coolidge—If America is advancing economically, if it is the abiding place of justice and freedom, it is because of the deep religious convictions of its people. Gov.

He fol- lowed with a speech in which he re- ferred to the Catholic colony of Maryland sharing with Rhode Island the "honor of being the first in of religious tolerance.
