NO GRITICISM OF BERLIN Tansing Repeats That America Has Not Protested Against Deportation of Belgians by Teuton Conquerors. Washington, Nov. —Announce- ment last night of the state depart- ment’s actlon in instructing the Amer- ican charge at Berlin to communi- cate with the German foreign office on the subject of deportation of Bel- gians, brought out a flood of in- quiries today for the details and ex- planation of the department's ac- tion. Secretary Lansing repeated the de- partment’s action as it was set out in last night’s Associated Press despatch and made this statement: “The United States has not made an official protest to Germany, but has suggested to her what a bad ef- fect on neutral opinion, particularly in the United States, such action might have. The instructions to Charge Gerard, to discuss the mat- ter with Chancellor von Bethmann- Hollweg were sent at the suggestion of the Belglan government. The American action was not meant in any sense to be a criticism of the Ger- man government’s policy. We do not | know the full facts in the situation and cannot form a judgment until we have heard of them. BANK FAILS TO OPEN.

PRIEST LEAVES HIS ALL T0 CHURCHES ' Father anegan Had Never Ac- cepted Any Salary New Haven, Nov. 15.—In bate court here was filed yesterda) ) of a Roman Catholic prieg§; rems ble in many respects. Jud Gilson received, through the executor, Rev. David Hutchinson, of St. Francis Orphan asylum, the will of Father Finnegan, curate for many years of St. Patric church, this city, . in which the priest disposed of the sav- ings of a lifetime, only $2,600 in cash. | This money, by the terms of the will, | is to be divided between St. Francis' }xNor church in New Milford, and | St. Anthony's church in Litchfield. | ‘Father Finnegan was 71 years of | age when he died, and had been in | the priesthood almost half a century, | vet the money he left represented his entire savin His parishioners in St. Patrick’s church account for this in the fact that he never epted a | cent in salary while he was a priest, and he never attained to the poi where he received or even desired a pastorship. In his modest capacity as curate he was greatly loved and appreciated, and perhaps, had more time to devote to his desired charities than if he had to assume the more strenuous duties of parish priest He was always more or less a man far as his relatives were concerned, and another interest- ing development in connection with the filing of the will is that fact that his only heirs at law are members of the Bannigan family of Providence, owners of the Bannigan Rubber com- pany, and a family of great wealth Two of the Bannigans were Yale graduates, and were worth at least $4,000,000 in their own right Fa- ther Finnegan said very little abgut | his relatives, and even Father Jc | Russell, who was a classmate of | knew nothing of them, but bel he was related to the Providence family All brary the pro- the his, Ok <~ ! /‘.\.{ his collection of valuable M- WA/ AVANNS books he gives to his executor, | Father Hutchinson to dispose of as | he sees fit.
