’ llKlirw .. — , v Bishop Linneborn of IndiF .ana, Addresses the Cen- 4 tral Verein ••’A A' THE PAPAL BLESSING f ' *» f There Was Much Praise for the German Amerr,:’’ 1 7 ■ ? ■ icans Indianapolis, Sept. 22.—An Idea of; the democratic spirit of Pope Pius X. was conveyed to the delegates attending the national convention of the German Catholic Central Verein yesterday when Bishop Linneborn, of Dacca,. India, delivered an address at the convention. “I told the holy fath-, er/' said the bishop, "that I was going on a trip to the United States to at-, tend the central verein convention. The holy father said: ‘Best regards’ and ‘my papal f Bishop | Linneborn had praise for the Germans in America. Before the pilgrimages to Rome, a few years ago, Jie said the ] idea existed there that all Germans i in America were immigrants. true conception, he said, existed there howand that was that a’.large percentage of the Germans in America were born .In America, but that they still cling to the ideals, customs and language, of -Germany. The true, conception also existed, he said, in regard to the number and character of the .Germans ‘ In America. “Even though lam bishop of Dacca, India,” he said, “I shall continue to make cleat: at Rome the importance of the German element in America. I feel like the bishop of the Germans in America as well as the bishop of Dacca, India. One of the great burdens of tire church th India is the elimination of the barbekouu practice of Immolating the widows of heathens on the funeral pyres and also to cdrefor the children who are thus made orphans. » The central verein should aid the charitable people who' frying to care tor these orphans in charitable institutions.” The »peit* he had been instrumental, in having a central station erected in Rome for caring tor those Catholics who travel to Rome and Itkily. »He concluded >F bestowing hlsWessing. Joseph Frey, of the executive board oftiie verein, in thanking Bishop Linneborn, declared that he would like to be pope about live minutes. If he were, he declared, Bishop Linneborn would never , -go u> India; he would remain in the. United States. It Was announced that steps would be taken by the verein to collect money to aid in-taking care of the orphan children of tbe heathen to India and the audience arose and gave three cheers tor. the bishop. A large part of the morning’s session of the verein, which began at 9:80 o’clock in St Cecilia hall, at Union and Palmer streets, was taken up in discussing a change in the - constitution in relation tn the per capita tax. Heretofore the Staats Vefbands have paid to 3 cents to the central verein tor each. individual member. One cent ! out of each 8 cento had been turned over to the National Federation of ° Catholic Societies. The x proposition now is tor the central verein toi pay into the Federation of Catholic So-' Uleties W for each ten thoupani and make the payment of tai’ te toe central verein by state ■*' TM&b a separate matter. The chief discussion was over the question of whether about 1800, Whl<h had been paid fete the central verein tot thfe National Federstion of Catholic Bb- [ * ctetles, 8h«l remain with the central vetetTw be'turned: tire fed: b ' eratioa Th other worts, Whether the chabge ta <he constitution shall be retroactive.

It ■ will be remembered that his wife died last Wednesday as a result of injuries received on Saturday evening before, i when a motorcycle driven by Abe Bpegley collided >lth a buggy in which Mrs. Kindel and her husband i was riding. While, here he consult- 1 ed with his attorneys about bringing an action tor damages against Mr. Boegley, but this was practically , abandoned owing to the fact that any sum of money that the court and jury ! might give the plaintiff could not be collected from the defendant. Criminal action was more thoroughly dis-/ cussed and it may be that his phase of the case* may he tried out in the courts. If this is dime an action for manslaughter wfll ’be brought, and in that event the wetion Will be filed in the Adams circuit court, as both parties to such a suit live in that county. If any other action is taken it could be for nothing only exceeding the speed limit, mid that only imposes a fine of, fifty dollars and costs. However, nothing definite was decided upon today, add Mr. Kindel will consider it thoroughly before taking any steps in the matter. ' — r - -•? v , • i ■■■■

He had been on a drunk for several days and yesterday afternoon (staggered into a livery barn rhd asked to be taken home. The boys began joking him, and asked waht kind of a rig he would prefer to ride in. Promptly he replied “Take me home in the hearse.” This gave the boys an inspiration and the young man was grabbed and pitched into a big glass hearse, a team was soon attached and the wagon usually used for man’s last ride was enroute to the man’s home. He objected slightly, but seemed to enjoy the unusual distinction and was conveyed to his residence in the north ''part of town. The scene attracted quite a little attention and much talk, and here is one fellow who has beaten the undertaker out of a ride. Ralsles White Wyandotte*. W. E.
