4 ART WINS OUT INK. OF C. BY A ~¢ VOTEOFONLY 11 ifn Befeats Mulligan, One of the “Insurgents” Over the Pel- letier Idea. POPE SENDS HIS THANKS. Pontiff Shows His Apprecia- tion of Great Work Under- taken in italy by Knights. ® (Special by a Staff Correspondent of The Evening World.) ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. —Will- fam J. Mulligan of Tomkinsville, Conn., leader of the forces opposed to the attituce of Supreme Knight Flaherty in the matter of WJoseph ©. Pelletier of dis- barred from practising law in Massa- chusetts, was beaten for the office of Boston, who was Supreme Advocate in the Knights of Columbus Convention here to-day by @ very narrow margin. The winning candidate, who had the backing of the Flaherty following, was Luke E. Hart of St. Louis, who received 16514 * votes. Mulligan's vote was 154. This result indicates that the Fla- herty administration, which has been in control of the Knights of Colum- bus for thirteen years, is threatened and the “Insurgents,” as the Mulli- gan followers call themselves, are prophesying that they will beat him next year when he cdmes up for re- election and probably elect Dg John G. Coyle of New York to~steceed = him. The Pelletier has proved to Be a feature productive of consider- able bitterness in the convention Mr. Flaherty’s statement issued after Pelletier, then Supreme Advocate had been found guilty of malfeasance in office, to the effect that Pelletier was a victim of religious persecution and his insistence on keeping Pelle- ssue tier in office in the Knights of @ Columbus after he had been dis- barred have produced a split in the organization ‘To-morrow’s session promises to be a hot one. No less than eleven reso- lutions condemnatory of Supreme Knight F will be presented. The Iowa State Council, through its delegates, will present one calling for Flaherty’s resignation. Another reso- sherty lution will propose the limitation of the term of the Supreme Knight to three years, Flaherty is now serving his seventh two-year ternf® which ex- pires in the fall of 192 Welfare work In I which was fnitiated by the Knights of Columbus ot offset proselyting :by other faiths, declared to-day to be one of the greatest achievements in the pontifi- fate of Pope Pius XI The mes was delivéred by Ed- ward L. Hearn of New York, Director of the Kk of Columbus European Work, who received it personally from the Pontiff before the Com- missioner's departure for this coun- ‘try to attend the convention, Com- missioner Hearn also delivered to Supreme Knight James A., i @ \gavel made from an oak altar Which has been used for centuries by Popes. It was specially constructed at the instance of Pope Pius to be used to open the Knights’ convention. The Pope, Mr. Hearn said, had a signed the chief architect of the Vat- tcan to co-operate with the Knights in laying out the chain of playgrounds which the order plans to operate in Rome, the first plot for which was donated by the Pope and !s within sight of the Vatican. Earlier in the day the keynote message from the Pope was read at the convention. It had been cabled by Cardin Archbishop John J. Glennon of St. Louis, speaking before the convention to-day, called on the order to stand forth in the future as it has always done in the past, ‘'a power for practical American patriotism.” He urged the, Knights to acd their influence to the “overwhelming desire of the Ameri- can people that neither selfish wealth nor militant radicalism be permitted to dominate the country Supreme Secretary William J. Mc- Ginley, in his annual report, said that during the fiscal year, ending on June 30, the membership of the order had Increased by 83,904, while the assets had increased by $2,196,559, and now approximate $15,000,000, The financiai return on the order's invested capital, the Secretary said, had been, during the past year, 5% per cent. Death benefits paid to relatives and other beneficiaries during the year were $1,- 365,347. The State of New York showed the largest increase in mem- bership, with an increase of 118,636, On the social end of the programme the big event on to-day’s programme is the K. of C. ball to-night. Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey City was busy in the lobby of the Am- bassador. What with his hob-nob- bing with Gov. Edwards and Mayor Bader of Atlantic City, as well as his meeting countless friends and brothers in the order, he was busily engaged passing around Morris Gest, who was giving the convention the double O. Mayor Hague, in intro- ducing the theatrical producer to a priest from Boston, which {Is Gest's home town, said, “See a good Knight, Father.” Good night is right,” retorted Gest Boyd Wethered, Vice Supreme Master of the Fourth Degree, spent most of the day trying to find a chair that would fit him. They were all too narrow Most of the delegates cut away Fifteen-Year-Old ‘‘Dark Horse’’ Girl Swimmer Defeats 51 in Race, Including English Champion when Jim Coogan made his appear- ance. Jim started out all right, but every time he shook hands with a brother delegate the brother rubbed his hand for several minutes, trying to get his fingers apart. He didn't use a cum-apart link. Ed Arnold, former Chairman of the New York Chapter, wears the loudest hat band at the convention Grand Knight Tom Phelan of Rox- bury, Mass, stopped a priest. “Oh, I beg your pardon, ner,” he said, “I thought you were Ellas McQuaide. Dan V. Tobin of Brooklyn, who was nearly elected State Deputy of New York, is in attendance, observing the difference between the operation of State and national conventions. Michael Hogan, also of Brooklyn, is spending one of his usual vacations by working twenty-three hours a day John J. Myled and C. J. Lynch of Poughkeepsie, the latter Past Grand Knight, are taking down notes to port to their Hudson River brothers at home. P. Joe Condon of Binghamton spends most of the’ day doaging the rafters in the lobby. Every time he entered the hotel he had to remove his hat. Maurice Connolly of Queens made the declaration in the lobby that the population of his borough had grown to more than a million, but Mike Healy called for a roll call. Another Connolly, Judge Tom of Portchester, also is present. Judge ‘Tom ts not a delegate, but despite this handicap he maintained his reputation as a epeech maker. This, of course, on the Boardwalk, not the conven- tion floor, Willlam Guggolz of the Bronx, who 4s an architect and designed the plans for the National K. of C, Headquar- ters, spent most of the day depre- cating his work. Ed Hearn, who brought the mes- sage from the Pope, spent most of the day explaining how he did it. Thirty-eight overseas secretaries had @ reunion to-day and reminis- enced over old times, Supreme Knight Flaherty gave a little talk, as also did Chaplain E.

The look of eagles and the heart of a lion—or rather, under the circum- the heart of a lioness—be- jonged without a doubt to every one of the fifty-two swimmers who, as entries in the women’s international long distance held yesterday at Brighton Beach, plunged into an uglier sea than the ordinary swimmer would want to risk, strug- stances, swimming race gled through three and one-half miles of wind and tide swept Atlan- tic and finished, every one. | From Miss Gertrude Ederle, the | fifteen-year-old dark horse winner in 1 field of such famous competitors as Miss Helen Wainwright and Miss Hilda James, English women's cham- |pion, down ‘to little Julia Marmor- stein, ten years old, who came in last, !but was happy as any one in the knowledge that this was her farthest Swim, every girl proved herself a heroine and a dead game sport. The race started way up at the lintersection of Meadow and Irish Creeks, in Jamaica Inlet. It was a dismal enough spot anyhow, and yes- terday the rain and wind accentuated the gloom. Before the start the young girls wrapped in bathrobes and hud- dled in the stern of their bobbing rowboats assigned to follow them seemed pitifully cold and fragile. They could hear nothing but the “wild water washing in the reeds” off Riche’s Point, see nothing but the gray waste of heaving water ahead of them with the bell on channel buoy No. 9 donging mournfully and stretching on out to where an ocean- going liner showed far off in the mist, headed for the open sea. Frequently thunder rumbled and lightning flashed. Then came the crack and swish of a rocket, It was 4.30 in the after- noon, just as the tide turned. The rowboats quickly lined up before the starter’s boat. Bathrobes fluttered off in a jiffy and at the report of a pistol fifty-two sleek young bodies with flashing legs plunged into the wave! s ms of small craft fol- lowed the swimmers in spite of the driving rain Miss Ederle got off to a lead from the very start. As she rounded the first mile buoy, she was at least sixty yards ahead of Miss Wain- wright, the Am n all around champion. Miss Aileen Riggin, six- teen years old, was at that time third All were swimming with a six beat double traudgeon crawl, Close behind Miss Riggin came the English cham- pion, Miss James. is seventeen years old and hardly more than a hundred pounds and 1s the only English woman who uses the American six beat crawl Miss James and Miss Riggin then na battle which was the thriller She weighs be of the afternoon. On the long stretch past the sea wall outside Manhattan Beach, the sea wall lined with hun- dreds of spectators under umbrellas or in bathing suits, Miss James fin- ally passed Miss n, William R. Howroft, Miss James's coach, who had brought her all the way from England just for this ‘est, sat in the stern of her boat, shouting: “Come on, Hilda, girl ou're doing fine! Come on, Hilda!" Mr, How- roft ts the secretary of the English Swimming Association Miss Wainwright made a courage- ous sprint in the last half mile to overtake Miss Ederle, but the lead at the start was too much for her. She finished forty-five seconds be- hind Miss Elderle, whose time for the course was one hour, one minute and S815 He thirty-four ana three-tifth seconds. Miss James wus two minutes behind Miss Wainwright and Miss Riggin thirty-five secon: ehind her. The Misses Ethel McGary and Doris O'Mara came in respectively fifth and sixth, None of the swimmers appeared ex- hausted, though their faces were flushed and their eyes red from the stinging salt water. As they strug gled on to the beach those who finished ahead greeted the others with congratulations, hugs and kisses “I didn't have any trouble the whole w: said Miss Ederle after the race, “It was pretty rough at the start, but I didn’t mind it after going, Miss Wainwright had no comment Nor excuse to make over her failure to win this contest, though she alone failed to appear at the shore dinne: I got éiven for the entries in the evening at the beach. Miss James said: “Everything was Just perfect Tam yery satisfied with the result,” when she was questioned first about the race, which was the open water contest she ever en though she was heard to remark her trainer that the water at t ginning of the race was “irijt to he- ully rough.” "She arrived only last Friday on the Aquatania for this race, and will compete in the 800-metre race for record Saturday Miss Ederle was presented with the winner's*trophy, the Joseph P. Day silver cup. This international women's race is the first event of this kind ever held in any country. Another and larger cup, donated by Mr. Day, was presented to the win- ning team of three, the Misses Ederle, Wainwright and Riggin, representing the New York Women's Swimming Association. This may be held by the team for one year. Miss Ederle had never entered a long distance open water contest he- fore and admitted that except fc friends persuading her she would probably not have entered this time Mr. Day, the sponsor of the stated afterward that he intended es tablishing an international swimming race for men over the same next year. oe UNDERTAKER BUYS ROAD BUILT ON COAL Campbell’s Five Miles Railroad Is Laid on Culm. of The coal and railroad situat isn't going to worry Frank Camp bell, funeral director, much now that he has just completed the purchas: of a five mile stretch of railroad that lies between West Pittston Hawley, Pa But it isn’t the railroad en of deal that has brought smil satisfaction to the Campbell is the knowledge at the entir bed is banked with culm n coal that is now bringing 1 price.
