Mr. | Cleveland was pointed out as the type of man who must ultimately be called | to take the heim of the society. It was Melville E. Ingalls, a member of the Frick investigation committee, vho suggested Mr. Cleveland as the manner of man who must succeed to power when James W. Alexander, Gage E. Tarbell and -even James H. Hyde have been placed in the back- round and the uitable’s affairs have been smoothed out.’ It was decided that it would be un- wise for the adoption of any resolu- tion before the report of the investi- gating committee. The only affirma- tive action taken was that the board | =hould be called together not later than the 31st of thé month. The statement is made that no de- mand was made at the conference to- day for the retfremient eitler of Pres- ident Alexander or Vice President Hyde, although the names of several |men of distinction were mentioned in connection with the presidency.

POPE PIUS ON PRESENT DAY EVILS Encyclical Letter Ad- dressed to Cath- - olic World. Pontiff Deals With Trust Problem and Honesty in Business. Rebukes the Rich and the Intellectual for Violation of the Laws | of Morality. { Speclal Dispatch to The Call. | CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING, | WASHINGTON, May 8.—Pope Pius' last’ encyclical letter to all prelates | and others in the Roman Catholic communion is considered the broadest and most far-reaching document he has written since his elevation. The encyclical has just come to the aposto- lic delegation in Latin form and will | be translated soon and seat through- | out the country. ! According to the prelates the ency- | clical is especially important, since it | speaks authoritatively upon subjects | which are now harassing the Ameri-| can secular as well as religious world. | He speaks ‘in positive terms on the vital importance of moral teachings | for young and old, and of the influ- | ence of religious instruction on the na- | tion, as well as the individual. He | makes a general review, of the deplor- | able condition of the world at the| present time and suggests that the | remedy lies in knowing more clearly and following more closely the teach- ings of Christianity. the church authorities, is timely in this Counitry, ~ when ~ trusts; “‘tahrted money” and kindred subjects are en- grossing so much attention. The Pope says: “There are to-day vast numbers, continually being recruited by fresh accessions, who are utterly ignorant of truths of religion or who at most pos- sess only such knowledge of God and of Christian facts as to lead the lives of idolators. In consequence of this ignorance they regard it as no crime | to cherish hatred against their neigh- bors, to enter into most unjust con- | tracts, most unjust speculation, en- deavor to possess themselves of prop- erty of others by enormous usury and o commit other iniquities, not less | eprehensible. | “Furtherniore, they seem unaware that the law of Christ not only forbids immoral actions, but condemns im- moral thoughts and immoral desires. Even when they are restrained from | abandoning themselves to sensual pleasures, they, without any scruples, feed themselves on evil thoughts, mul- Part of the encyclical, according to f tiplying sins beyond the hairs of the head. We deem it necessary to re- | peat that such persons are found not only among the poorer classes, but in the highest walks of life, and even | among those puffed up with knowl- | edge, who relying upon vain erudition, think they are at liberty to turn relig- ion into ridicule.” NAMES Al among the Catholic clergy receives a severe arraignment, and the writing of controversial books and of learned treatises is not encouraged. | “Too often,” says the Pope, “it hap- | e sermons which win the applause of crowded congregations | serve only to tickle the ear and fail utterly to touch, the heart.” ROME, May 8.—Surprises have been caused at the Vatican by what there | is regarded as the exaggerated impres- sion produced in certain circles by Pope Pius’ words to John E. Redmond, at the audience which the Irish Parlia- mentary leader had with his Holiness on April 27. 1t is stated on authority that the subject of home rule for Ire- land was not discussed at the audience in question, the conversation being confined to allusions to what may be considered the legitimate aspirations 'of Irish Catholics. The Pontiff, it is add- ed, expressed the highest appreciation of the reception accorded to King Ed- ward on the occasion of his latest visit to Italy and recommended to Irishmen lovalty to the sovereign and respect for constituted authorities.

Col- lins, who in the face of the public rec- ords that directly contrgvert his state- ments, declares that the woman who claims to be his lawful wife never was such, and who, despite the records that ghowed him to be already married, took unto himself another bride, is still mys- tifying the friends and acquaintances of the parties concerned and the public in general. Though every public rec- ord necessary to establish the union of people who become man and wife de- clares that Collins wedded Charlotte Hugenie Newman, he still asserts that he can prove, when the matter is brought into court, that she is not and never was his wife. He says the rec- ords will stand .for naught and denies having any knowledge of them save from hearsay. A lawyer who, flas built his reputa- tion on the freeing of accused persons by technicalities, Collins’ proposed de- fenee in this case, from all the utter- ances made by him, seems apparent. He has laid great stress on the fact that it was Agnes Newman who was recognized by tradespeople and in fact, nearly all who knew him and the Newmans as his wife and that Char- lotte herself recognized her as such. It seems certain that he will try to prove that, by acknowlgdging Agnes as the wife of Collins, Charlotte is es- topped from . asserting her claim as such, and that the recognition by a great number of pecple of Agnes as his on law mar- wife constitutes a com riage. That the records in black and white showing the marriage of Col- line and Charlotte Newman will not be considered by. the court after it hears . the testimony on these lines that he will introduce is evidently his firm belief. “Your contention is that if she ac- knowledged Agnes as your wife, Char- lotte relinquished all her claim as n‘:c:": was suggested to Collins last nig SAYS CHARLOTTE IS BARRED. “How could she rel l'nqu.hh any right 1 she never ed?” asked Collins | quickly. Woem‘t\ulmqmah any- thing; she is. esto] 3 pped from maki any claim to be my wife.” et . Thus it seems that this lawyer would advance a case in which all the rec- ords of the municipality concerning a binding -until dissolved by the courts of the State would be set aside as counting for naught. A most remark- able case, indeed. It has not its equal in anything that has gone before in the history of our jurisprudence in San Francisco. There are few who have looked at all the records end heard all the state- ments made by witnesses who doubt that George D. Collins did marry Char- lotte Newman {n St. John's Church on Eddy street on May 15, 1889. In the marriage - license department of the County Clerk's office there is the appli- cation in black and white made by George D. Collins on May 14 of that Yyear for a liéénse to wed Charlotte E. Newman. His address is given as 1939 Broadway and hers as 1211 Octavia street. His name is signed to the ap- plication, the signature = being . pro- nounced his by persons who are famil- far with his handwriting. In one of the tomes in the Recorder’s office there agpean the record of the marriage of George D. Collins and Charlotte E. Newman, filed by the Rev. Father Mic,ael D. Connolly, who performed the ceremony.. The names of Thomas E. Curran and Agnes New- man appear in the record as ses. Then there are death records in the Health Office that are at once sup- posed to bring a blush of shame to the face of the accused man, but, g the ground he does, that Agnes New- man was his wife, he has no ground for shame. One of these attests the death of Agnes and shows that her de- mise was caused by diphtheria with ex- haustion due to premature child birth as the contributing cause. Another is of the death of “the stillborn infant of George D. and Agnes M. Collins” on the same day its mother away. These are both dated May 16, 1901.
