He paid a high tribute to American generosity and the support which American Catholics have rendered tho work of the church.

By United Press NEW YORK, March 24.—T*he two new princes of the Cathollrrf^urch — 1 Patrick J. Hayes and "George W. Mun- ; delein —were bora and schooled in . New York's section of turmoil and romance, the lower East Side.

The impressive, colorful ceremony before the high altar of St. Peter's, with it scon sequent elevation to the sacred tier, cannot dim the memories of neighbors who krrew them in boyhood. Then they were two normal American lads, with their pockets stuffed with marbles and their caps full of tricks. They were always, however, kindly and pious. Little “Pat” Hayes, as his school mates called him. was a fast friend of Georgie Mundelein. Although they attended different parish schools on the east side, they both graduated from De LaSalle Academy and were together in Manhattan college. Was “Keep” Player At Manhattan young Hayes could handle ft baseball with the best of them and delighted in wrestling matches. He was also a “keep’’ player of checkers and chess. Both boys, according to their teachers, were very religious. Mundelein had clerical ambitions almost before he could toddle. His favorite childhood game was “playing church.” He made himself an altar and used his sAvings to buy a lacetrimmed altar cloth. He got candles from his grandmother's grocery store and fashioned surplices for his altar boys out of old lace cumins. After school was over young Mundelein would run home with as many companions as he could convert and go through the forms of mass before his miniature altar. Won Treasure Trove George also was a fervent marble player. His skill in playing “knuckle down” and "vent fudging” won him a treasure trove of shining agates and glimmerirg alleys. His success aroused envy and sometimes aggression. TRIBUTE TO AMERICA Pope Pius Touched at Charily and Filial Piety People of United States. liy United Press ROME, March 24.—Addressing himself directly to America, Pope Plus {aid high tribute to that country on the occasion today of raising Archirshops Hayes and Mundelein to the eardinaley. The allocution follows: “In the immense family which God I has conceded to us there are brothers ; more favored by Divine Providence who. through the Father, all come to the assistance of their less fortunate brothers in times of trial and disaster. "Our hearts are touched and also exalted towards God In beholding j their magnificent acts of filial piety ; and fraternal charity. “We find pleasure in expressing to j them from this exalted place and before this distinguished assembly the fervent declaration of our gratitude, which is the gratitude of a father who feels himself much Indebted on behalf of his suffering children. “We feel, however, something would be wanting in the expression cfjgratitude if special mention were made of the position and parr which the United States took and maintained in this competition of charity. From the moment in which cur voice first was raised on behalf of the starving children of Russia, the episcopate, clergy and people of the United States responded to our appeal with a promptness and generosity which immediately placed them In the front ranks, of the crusade

REYNOLDS FIGHTS DISABLED SOLDIER PAY SUSPENSION Protest Made Against Stopping Vocational Aid in Summer Time. Protest against the Veterans' Bureau announcement it would stop the vocational training pay of disabled ex-service men in schools which close during the summer months, was made today by John B. Reynolds, genera} secretary of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce. Reynolds telegraphed Director Hines of the bureau and wrote to Representative Merrill Moores and Senators Ralston and Watson asking them to use their influence to stop the ;Hinve. The difficulty of these men getting jobs to earn money for food and lodging during the summer months was pointed out by Reynolds. "This is a terrible thing for the Veterans' Bureau to do to these men who have all of then, fought for their country, and many of whom have almost died for it," said Reynolds to the legislators.

Hard to Get .lobs "Men with disability of ten per cent or more are permitted to receive trafn- ; ing at Government expense. For a single man without dependents, the j Government allowances for a ten per ! cent disability amount to about $8 per I month. If he is married he gets a trifling sum greater, and for each child ■ a little more You know from expert- ; ence that no one is willing to take temporary employes and break them In only to have them leave within three j months. In addition to that disincll- I nation on the part of employers Is the added disadvantage from the service mans point of view of the graduation j of thousands of men from colleges and high schools, who will be in the market for Jobs this particular time. “Whatever may be the reasons behind this order they are not sufficient. i It may be a very fine theory to save j the Government this money, but the : practical result will be that thousands of men who gave all they had at a time of national danger, together with their dependent wives and children. will suffer, through no fault of their own, and merely as the result of the heartless application of paper principles. "Well Tald Powcrr” “It would appear to me that the Veterans’ Bureau would hesitate a long time before doing a thing of this sort when those in authority must know that the bitterness, ill-feeling and disappointments which will follow 1 are bound to have a very detrimental effect on men who should be more closely tied to the Government than almost any others by the very nature and degree of their service. I am appealing to you and one or two ether Indiana people of Influence to intercede with the well paid and comfortably situated powers that be, to the end that their charges may not be drawn into this financial hiatus practically without income with which to maintain themselves and the}r families. Personally, I think it of sufficient importance to take up with President Coolidge himself, as I do not believe he wdll submit to such misapplication of the intentions of the American people in regard to those unfortunate ones who suffered physically In their efforts to serve.” MORE HATS TOSSED IN Aspirants for State Legislature Jobs File Candidacy.

REPORTER SPIKES DEM KAYS (Continued From Page 1) of around $500,000 at the time it was supposed to have been delivered. “You can not- now say tiiat Hays received the 75,000 shares of stoc to help make up the deficit of the Republican party?” Senator Bursum, Republican, asked. "No, but I received the assurance from Mr. O’Neil that Mr. Hays was going to admit. Mr. Hays could have corrected the story on Friday, or denied it, f he wanted to." “Is Mr. O’Neil’s statement In the telegram Just read to the committee true or false'''" Stanfield asked. “It Is absolutely' false.” Vivian then was excused. Senator Spencer, Missouri, new member of the committee, called for a subpoena for the treasurer of the Pt-mo ratio national committee. * “We cannot investigate the Republican national committee without investigating the Democratic national committee,’’ Spencer s-'id Fred W. Upham, Republican party treasurer, was subpoenaed Saturday. Spencer said E. L. Doheny had contributed to the Democratic national fund, having admitted before the committee to giving them $76,000. Records show a contribution of only SBO,OOO, he said. “If the Senator thinks that is relevant to the investigation I have no objection,” Walsh said. Carmi Thompson of Ohio, an inti-"' mate friend of President Harding, was called. “I have been called before you to tell you about a statement which one Tiffin Gilmore of Columbus testified before you that I was alleged to have made to him concerning politics} deals and other matter’s at the 1920 Republican national convention at Chicago when Senator Harding was nominated for President,” Thompson said. “He said the conversation which he was alleged to have had with me concerning these matters was upon a train leaving Chicago immediately after the convention for Washington. Went Direct to Cleveland • . “I did not go to Washington from the convention. I took the New York Centr-al train, known as the Twentieth Century Limited, on Sunday immediately following the convention, diftet to Cleveland. “I do not recall seeing Mr. Gilmore on the train and I did not have a conversation with him upon the subject referred to you by him, at any Ime or place. Mr. Gilmore must have been confused In this matter.

NEED FOR ADDED POLICE IN DANCE HALLSREPORTED Woman Officer Tells Chief Inspection Reveals 'lmmodesty. 1 Orders for added police vigilaj and revision of rules governing p>-. lie dance halls were expected at police headquarters as the result of a report submitted today to Police Chief Herman Rikhoff by Mrs. Anna Brunner, policewoman!, following an inspection tour Saturday. Mrs. Brunner reported that added police help would be required to curb the "immodest style of dancing” found to be in vogue in a popular downtown ballroom. The report said it was impossible to stop such dancing with only one matron on duty. Girls dancing together were given as the chief offenders. It was suggesttxl that girls be prohibited from dancing together. The public dance hall question has become acute recently, reports show. A matron was attacked last week by a young man who was denied admission to a hall when it was alleged he was inioxicated. A visit to two popular dance pavilions just outside local police jurisdiction .recehtly left the impression that the style of dancing was left to the conscience of th© dancers, the report says.

Ham on after he arrived In Chicago for the convention. I did not hear him make a proplsltlon of any kind to Senator Harding or his associates for the delivery’ of the Oklahoma delegation. He certainly made no suoh proposition to me. “As to the oil land Mr. Gilmore suggest* I was Interested In, perhaps In Pouthern California, I desire to say I have never owned or been Interested In any real estate outside of Ohio and Minnesota. “I was very much Interested in the nomination of the late President Harding and was Interested In his election and did what I could in an honorable way to bring about both events.” Connected With Railroad Questioned by Walsh, Thompson said he had formerly been aligned with Great Northern interests —not in connection' with railroad administration, but as president of coal companies In Montana and British Columbia. “Wasn’t it understood the night before Harding w'ould be nominated the next day?” Walsh asked. “Everybody felt pretty sure of It, I think.” “Did you know what delegates wore going over to Harding?" Senator Dill asked. “No.*' Republican and Democratic members then got Into a tilt over the manner In which Thompson was called. 8e lator Stanfield, Republican, asked Thompson If he was subpoenaed or same of his own accord. Thompson said he had never ex pressed a desire to come before the committee and that he had been sub poonaed. He was then excused. Martin J. Powers, Philadelphia attorney, was called. - "Do you know CoL James O. Darden?" Walsh asked. "Yes.” “Did you ever try to get any interest in Teapot Dome?” "No." “Do you know Michael Circelli and Charles Oelschl&ger?" “Yes." "Didn’t you tell them you had raised several thousand dollars to obtain a lease of Teapot Dome?" "No, sir. That is a mean und con temptlble lie.” Powers was then excused and Clr celll was called. .

Ratts. whose term expires May 1, has been opposed because he wrote the order increasing income of the Indianapolis Water Company $200,000 a year. The bill, which provides that depreciation charges aaginst the operation of telephone companies can be regulated by State commissions, is the result, it is said, of a resolution by Ratts adopted by the National Association of Railroad and Utility Commissioners in December.
