Feb. 12.—President Taft, in a lettér dated Dec. 29, 1910, and ‘read in 8,000 Sunday schools in the United States today, sounded the keynote of a total abstainer's mo: ment. The letter is addressed to Sun- day echool pupils as “my dear young friends” and reads: “The excessive use of intoxicating liquors is the cause of a great deal of tha poverty, degradation and crime of the_world, and one gvho abstains from theuse of such liqudr avoids a danger- ous temptation. ~ Abrabam Lincoln showed that he belleved this in writing out for his boy friends the pledge of total abstinence, so often quoted. Each person must determine for himself the course fle will take in reference to his tastes and appetites, but those who ex- ercise the self-restraint to avoid alto- gether tha temptation of alcoholic liquor are on the. safe and wiser side.” Dr. Howard H.

Frederick Johin Ryan, archbishop of Philadelphic anrl metropolitan of Pennsylvanta, died at 4.08 o'ciock Sat- urday afternoon at the archepiscopal residence. in_this city. Arohbishop Ryan, for weeks the pre- Iate, who would have been 80 years old had he lived untfl the 20th of this month, fought off death, but a weak heart, ‘enfeebled by the arduous duties of his high office, could mot stand the strain, and he passed away. Ths funeral will be held on Thurs- day and it is expected to be attended by practically all the prominent clergy in the American hiarchy who can reach Philadelphia in time for the oc- sequies. The body will lie in state at the cathedral and will be entombed back of the altar of the great ohurch beside those of Bishop n, Bishop Conwell and Archbishop Wood, who wers his predecessors in the diocese. This was his wish. The dfocesan con- sulters met and began arrangeing the detafls of the funeral. Archbishop Ryan was considered the greatest of the Mne of bishops and archbishops that have occupled the episcopal ses of Philadelphia since its erection in 1808. His reputation was national and in his home city he was accorded a popular recognition that far urpassed that of any of his predeces- sors, he having been on the friendliest terms with men of all religious denomi- nations. He was one of the foremost pulpit orators in the Catholic church in this country. 7 The archbishop was born in Thurles, County of Tipperary, Ireland, on Feb, 20, 1831. His ancestors on the paternal side were originally the O'Ryans who figure in Irish history. His parents diod when he was very young and his youthful education was recefved from the Christian Brothers at Arles. Young Ryan studied at the Carlow seminary and later came to this country, going to St. Louis, where he was appointed a professor in Carondolet seminary. On Sept. 8, 1853, he was ordained a priest 3 op Kenrick. In 1856 he was made rector of the St. Louis ca- thedral and four years later was placed in charge of the Church of the An- nunciation. In 1§72 Father Ryan was conseorated coadfutor bishop of St. Lowuds, with the right of succession, and in 1884 was appointed archbishop of Philadelphia. During his twenty-seven years' resi- dence in Philadelphia he was an im- portant figure in the life of the The University of Pennsylvania gave him the degree of LL. D., ari_honor which he had previously received from the Universlty of Missour Two great works of the archbishop were what he did for the Tndians and his establishment of the protectory for homeless boys. The labors of the arch- bishop in behalf of the Indians were recognized by President Roosevelt when he eppointed him one of the board of Indian commissioners Under_the administration of Arch- bishop Ryan the Catholic church in this diocese has mora than kept pace with the growth of the city and coun- | try. The archdiocese embraces Phila- delphia and nine adjoining counties. Dix and Gaynor in Conference Today. New York, Feb. 12.—Gov., Dix and Mayor Gaynor will confer here ‘tomor- row afternoon.

AFTER HUSBAND'S DEATH ‘Wife Bound, in the Words of the Compact, to “Do Away” wiah Herself “and Son, Gerald. Oxford, Me, Feb, 12.—In fulfillment of a compact alleged to have been mado with her husband during his lin- gering illness, which death ended yes- terday, Mrs. Lynwood S. Keene took her own life today after fatally shoot- ing her 14 years old son, Gerald. The compact, dated about a ‘month back, was found by the coroner in a sealed envelope in the woman’s room. Keene was formerly a _prosperous farmer, but according to the compact the family had become impoverished and discouraged during his long sick- ness. He was 38 years old and his wife a year or two younger. Document Recited Their Troubles. The document, found in @ dresser in Mr. Keene's rooom along with several farewell letters to relatives, bore the names of both Mr. and Mrs. Keens, though the husband, apparently, had been t00 feeble to make more than his mark, the name being written by his wife. The document _recited briefly the Tamily troubles, the result of 3 Keene's illness. In it his dea predicted, and it was stated that as both the parents thought it would be wrong to have tlieir son remain in the world to suffer the troubles they had experieneed, Mrs. Keene bound herself to “do away,” in the words of the com- pact, with herself and their son, Ger- ald, as soon-as possible after the death of the husband and father. 3 Shots Heard Upstairs. Friends of the family who were in hs house today mssisting in the body of Mr. Keene for burial, hear: shots_fired upstairs. _They found the oy Gerald in bed in his chamber with a bullet wound in his right temple. So close had the revolver beeen held to the child’s head, probably while eh' was asleep, that the hair about his temple was singed. The boy was alive, but unconscious, when found. He lived less than an hour. Meanwhile the door of Mrs. Keene's room was found locked, and repeated knocks bringing mo answer, it was' broken in. Mrs. Keene's : body was found stretched on the bed. There was a bullet wound showing that she had placed the revolver muzale to the roof of her mouth and fired, death being instantaneous. The revolver was on ‘the bed beside her.

Husband and wife wished to be bur- jed in a double casket, and asked that their son's cofin and theirs be placed in the same box for fifal interment. So it has been arranged and the triple funeral will be held here next Wednes- day. Made Agreement Friday. The document containing the com- pact bore the date of Jan. 10, 1911 Combined with the grim agreement were some directions in regard to be- quests of property belonging to Mr. and Mrs. Keene. Relatives who re- gard it as virtvally the last will and testament of the deceased guarded it carefully tonight and declined to make public its wording. It is expected that the document will be filed for prebate after the funeral. LINCOLN HONORED AT BOSTON MEETING Promjnent Speakers at Patriotic Exer- cises—Petition to Aid Major General Grant. .

Calexico, Cal, Feb. 12.—The Mexi- can guardhouse, situated just across the international boundary at Mexi- cala, Mexi was burned , to" the ground by insurrectos early today. This was done in_ fulfilment of a warning given the federal troops when the rebels evacuated Mexicala twelve days ago, that if any’ attempt wero made to resume the collectior of cus- toms, the building would be destroyed on_the return of the insurrectos. When the insurrectos appeared &t Mexicala yesterday, Generals Léyva and Berthold of ti rebel forces re- considered a plan to dynamite the gov- ernment buildings, bui, destroyed them with fire, so that any further attempts on the part of the Mexican officers to collect duties must take place in the open air. i U.

ACALL BILL TODAY sy President Seems Not to Fear Extra Session—Willing to Trust Canadian Reciprocity Agreement tc a Vote. Washington, Feb. 12.—Members of congress would give much to know whether they are to be permitted to break ranks on March 4 and retire to theif homes for the summer, or wheth- er they must linger in Washington for an Indefinite period to act upon the Canadian reciprocity agreement in ex- tra gession. Something positive on the subject from the White house would be especlally acceptablo, Complacenoy at White House. There is some foundation for the report that President Taft is viewing with entire complacency the solicitud of members of the senate on the sub- ject of an extra session. - Several sen- ators who- feel that there is no chance for the approval of the agreement at the present session, have found that this view is not shared at the White house. The president has met all pes- simisitic' predictions with the sugges- tion that he is wiling to trust the agreement to a vote. He has never said, for publication, that he would call an extra session if such a vote 18 denied, but senators certainly have falled to’ obtain assurances that he would not do so. Immediate Consideration. The McCall bill to carry out the pro- visions . of the Canadian agreement, having been reported - to the house from the ways and means committee, probably will be brought up tomor- row.

Popular Election of Senators. The iniications are that before ad- journment the senatdrs will vote on the resolution providing for ‘popular election of senators, the Lorimer case, a service pension bill and the bill to create a permanent tariff board. The situation In regard to these measures bas changed during the last week. Popular election of senators will probably b defeated by reason of the injection of the race question into the resolution. Fate of Senator Lorimer. ‘The fate of Senator Lortmer is more doubtful. ‘All of the poHs that have ‘been. made have been based upon the Wfi resolution which declares e ctign of - Senator: Lorimer was aceomplished by corruption of the Il- linois legislature. If the case comcs before® the senate in that form, the Indications ‘are that the election will be declared invalid and his seat, therefore, vacant. It is possible that friends of Sena- tor Lorimer will succeed in substitut- ing a resolution declaring merely that thé charges.of corruption against Mr. Lorimer have not been proved. “Tariff Board. A week ago the bill to provide for a permanent tariff board seemed to be in danger of defeat by reason of almost solid democratic opposition. _ Admin- istration leaders will tell President Taft tomorrow that the bill will go through. Service Pension BHI. A most interesting situation exists in respect to the service pension bill. The house passed the Sulloway bill, which increases the present age pen- sion law so that at the age of 62 years the rate will be $15 a month instead of 312, and provides for other in- creases. It is estimated this bill would cost about §50,000,000 a year in addi- tion to the $153,000,000 estimated for the ‘ensuing year. The senate committes om pensions will meet tomorrow and it is said that the Sulloway bill will be reported. CHARGED BY THE GOVERNMENT With Violation ; the Sherman Anti- Trust Act.
