WASHINGTON TEEMING WITH NEWACTIVITY City Is Industrial, Financial and - Political Capital of Nation. By Scrippt-lfoirard .V rtrspapcr Alliance WASHINGTON, April 7. The night flier from the west rumbles into Washington and deposits its cargo of passengers. Watch them as they get off—the banker seeking a loan, the manufacturer seeking a code, the social welfare worker seeking relief money, the politician seeking jobs, the movie star seeking publicity. From the corners of the country they converge on Washington, now the industrial and financial as well as the political capital of the nation. Gone are the lazy days of the Hoover administration. Instead. Washington has been transformed into a city of teeming activity, the Mecca of sightseers, host to 3,000 to 5,000 persons who arrive daily to transact business with the various agencies of the new deal. Mail Bulk Increases The trains which bear the visitors in and out of the city also carry great masses of mail to and from the busy departments and bureaus in a volume which serves as indicator to the immensity of the government’s business. Postoffice officials estimate that the volume of outgoing bulk mail—reports and literature to held agencies, bulletins to farmers, speeches of congressmen—has increased fifty tons a day over the load of a year ago. It now averages about 175 tons a day in addition to the 350.000 outgoing official letters \tofich pass through the office on the average day. Along with the visitors here on official business come hordes of sightseers willing to forego the customary trips to Mount Vernon and the art galleries for the chance of one fleeting glimpse of Mrs. Roosevelt as she skims through traffic in her blue roadster. The new deal has revolutionized the business for the “rubberneck - ’ busses. Eager to See Johnson “Show’ us General Johnson.” the customers often suggest to guides intent on displaying the Washington monument, Lincoln Memorial and the National Museum. If the business visitor or the sightseer gets a view of the general it probably will be as he charges through a corridor of the Commerce building. If he does get into the inner sanctum, he may find the surroundings disappointing. The office is far from picturesque. Like the hundreds of others in the building it is incased in frosted glass with green metal doors and window casings. The general’s office has a rug on the floor and. a picture or two on the wall. The others have bare floors and walls. Visitors to the office of CWA Administrator Harry L. Hopkins are in for an even greater disappointment. On the ninth floor of a drab brick building the man who handed out jobs to 4,000.000 unemployed persons works in a cramped corner room. The office is reached by an elevator so overworked that Mr. Hopkins' staff has been ordered not to use it when going less than three floors. The administrator’s desk and chair are tidy enough, but if he is visited by a delegation of any size the callers are seated on rickety kitchen chairs. Government Pay Roll Up The visitor to the adgricultural adjustment administration may find scores of clerks toiling in the basement of a “temporary” building —“temporary” since war days—sending checks to farmers who have agreed to reduce crops. These agencies and the other emergency organizations—the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation, the Tennessee valley authority, the public works administration, the farm credit administration, the Reconstruction Finance Corporation—typify the “action, and action now” doctrine enunciated by the President last March 4. Never-ending queues of persons on official business waiting for their turn. Overtime hours for employes. Crowds on street cars, busses, trains and planes. Jobs for clerks, stenographers. messengers. The thirteenth month of the Roosevelt administration finds upwards of 10.000 more persons employed by the government in Washington than were employed a year ago. The increase is reflected in better business for the merchants and hotels and a 5 per cent decline in the vacancy of apartment buildings. The total of government employes throughout the nation has grown correspondingly. The figure on Jan. 1 was 591.675 as compared with 563.487 in February a year ago. The increase is entirely within the emergency organizations; the personnel of the regular departments has shown a slight decline.

200 YEARS OF CATHOLICISM

An Authentic History of the Church in Indiana By Humbert P. Pagani

Civil and social progress in Indiana to 1816 Father Gibault and the conquest+of the Northwest Territory The Harrison Land Law Religious freedom promised Conditions in the .new diocese under Bishop Brute His death in 1839. CHAPTER II WHILE this is chiefly a history of Catholicism, the cjvil and social aspect of Indiana and its inhabitants prior to the erection of the Diocese of Vincennes in 1834. must be given a cursory glance so that an intelligent narrative may result. Just prior to, and during the Revolutionary war, the disturbed conditions in the eastern colonies began to drive many of the colonists to points farther west with more or less frequency. The free lands of the middle west brought hither a constant stream of migration—selfdependent, sturdy types, inured to the hardships of pioneer life, resourceful and not easily dismayed by failure. While the French and their descendants were predominant around Vincennes, other parts of Indiana received their share of migration which originally had come from other European shores. A large contingent of Germans settled in Dubois county. A colony of Swiss located in Switzerland county. The Napoleonic wars in Europe and the hard times that followed were responsible for heavy immigration to American shores. Germans, Irish, Scotch, English and other Europeans in lesser proportions came. Later they intermarried. In coAsequence, there are very few natives of Indiana who can not count three or four nationalities in an ancestry that is not at all remote. Dearborn county was settled in 1798; Switzerland county in 1795; Jeffersonville and Lawrenceburg in 1802; Madison in 1811; New Albany and Evansville in 1812. Vincennes and Madison were given bank charters in 1814. Newspapers already w r ere published in 1816 at Vincennes, Corydon, Boonville, Lexington and Madison. Flour and saw mills, tanneries, distilleries and powder mills were in operation. Cotton and wool fabrics and hemp and flax were being loomed in the homes of settlers. But as late as 1825, there still were no railroads, no canals, no pike roads in the state. Lanes of travel were mostly by water and by buffalo traces or trails. But the versatility of the Hoosier frontiersman was amazing. And his political aptitudes were apparent as early as 1815 in maneuvering for county government and county seats. In 1800 the population of Indiana was 5,641. By 1816 it grew to 63,897. Illinois was cut off from Indiana in 1809. The capital of Indiana Territory was moved to Corydon in 1813 and Indiana was admitted to statehood in 1816 with Jonathan Jennings as its first governor.

WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON, as Governor of the Indiana Territory, in having had enacted the Harrison land law May 10, 1800, wrought a piece of legislation that was to bring farreaching results in attracting fresh waves of immigration into Indiana from the east and south. Down the Ohio river they came, past Pittsburgh, and through Cumberland Gap. From the south they came by way of the Tennessee and Cumberland rivers. Another contributing factor which helped to draw settlers to Indiana was the enactment of what is called the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 in which the Ohio Associates and the Virginia assembly wanted to make the western frontier more attractive to prospective settlers. In this ordinance of unalterable rights, its first clause was freedom of religion as follows: “No person demeaning himself in a peaceable and orderly manner shall ever be molested on account of his mode of worship or religious sentiment in said Territories.” The bill also included the writ of habeas corpus, the right of trial by jury and right of compensation from property seized. This brief summary of civil progress in Indiana, up to its admission to statehood, would be incomplete without some account of the part played by Father Gibault, who, with Francis Vigo, the Italian merchant trader and patriot, enabled General George Rogers Clark to win forever possession of the Northwest Territory for the United States. Gibault had the confidence of the people of Vincennes and the Creoles through ten years of vigorous, devoted service among them. When General Clark, at the head of the American Army of invasion, told Father Gibault that he would extend religious freedom to all peoples in the region. Father Gibault at once threw his whole influence to the support of the American cause. a tt a WITH the mofal support of Gibault in Vincennes and the active support and financial help of Francis Vigo in Kaskaskia. who loaned Clark $12,000 in money and supplies, Clark launched his desperate march from Kaskaskia Feb. 5, 1779 and demanded the surrender of Fort Sackville at Vincennes from the British Governor Hamilton. He surrendered Feb. 25, 1779. Perhaps the truest characterization of Father Gibault is that given him by Judge Law when he wrote: “To Father Gibault, next to Clark and Vigo, the United States are more indebted for the accession of the states comprised in what was the original Northwest Territory.” The Northwest Territory’ comprised the states of Indiana, Illinois, Ohio. Michigan. Wisconsin and part of Minnesota. Ross Lockridge. in his book on Clark says: “The winning of the Northwest Territory made our western boundary the Mississippi instead of the Alleghenies and it brought under our dominion anew empire almost as vast as the entire thirteen original colonies.” Father Gibault, unjustly suspieioned through calumnies of the English, who claimed he had betrayed them, died in poverty at New Madrid, Mo., in 1801. With the narration of the Clark-Gibault-Vigo achievements, we again resume our story with the appointment of Bishop Brute in 1834 as the first Bishop of the Diocese. A brief sketch of this saintly and learned bishop is necessary in order to get the correct background of later events. Bishop Brute was consecrated in St. Louis Oct. 28. 1834, by Bishops Rosati, Flaget and Purcell. He was escorted to Vincennes and there met. at the Cathedral by representative men. Nov. 8. 1834. He was slight of build and somewhat bald, but what he lacked in personal appearance, he more than made up by his innate piety and brilliant educational achievements. Born at Rennes, France in 1779. he studied medicine, then turned to theology and was ordained in 1808. then assigned a professorship in theology in the Diocesan Seminary of Rennes. He felt the call of Divine Providence to the American missions and sailed for America June 9, 1810. Landing at Baltimore he was welcomed by Archbishop Carroll, who appointed him a professor at St. Mary’s College and Seminary in Baltimore. B B B THERE he taught two years. He then was called to Mount St. Mary’s, near Emmitsburg, a newly established seminary. In 1815 he was called back to St. Mary s college in Baltimore to be-

come its president until his resignation in 1818. At his own desire he was given a permanent residence at Mount St. Mary, where he preferred to teach. His associations and contacts in Maryland gave him an untusual insight into the general conditions of the church in America. It was because of this and because of his profound learning and saintly character that he 'was chosen first bishop of the new Diocese of Vincennes. At'the time of his consecration, the new’ bishop had but two regular priests. Therefore, he resolved early to go back to his native France for more help. He needed financial assistance, yes, but mainly, he wanted more priests for his growing diocese. He therefore appointed Father Lalumiere as executor and deeding him all the church property, he sailed for France Aug. 8, 1835. He visited Rome on that trip and laid before the Sacred Congrega - tion a general report of the Church in the United States, of which he could so well speak. So successful was his mission in France that on May 30, 1836, when he was ready to depart for his diocese in America he brought with him some tw’enty-five missionaries, most of whom were destined to play an important part in the development of the new’ diocese. Among the young priests he brought with him were M. Celestin de la Hailandiere and M. Maurice de St. Palais, both of whom were later to become bishops of Vincennes. Other priests that were later to figure in history were: M. Comte du Merle, M. Julian Benoit, M. Anthony Parrett, M. Louis Neyron, M. John Corbe, M. Bernard Schaeffer, M. Louis Mueller, M. John Vabret, M. Stanislaus Buteux, M. Maurice Berrel, M. Vincent Bacquelin, M. Michael Shaw’e and M. Benjamin Petit. Francis A. Bessonies, who came later to the Diocese, was left by the bishop at St. Sulpice, France, to complete his studies. a a tt THUS with patience, piety and many privations did the saintly Brute try to spread the gospel in his fast growing territory of Indiana and Illinois. The first priests and seminarians he brought w’ith him were not enough. On Jan. 7, 1837, he w’rote to the Leopoldine Society in Austria for financial assistance. In his letter he enumerated the meager number of priests in his diocese —fourteen in all, including himself, as follows; “1. In Ft. Wayne, Father Mueller, who has most of the Germans in his mission. “2. In Chicago. Father Schaefer, who likewise very laudably directs the Germans. “3. At the same place, Father St. Cyr. whose guidance of the French and Americans is also very praiseworthy.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

The Right Rev. Simon William Gabriel Brute de Remur, first bishop of Vincennes.

“4. In the county of South Bend, Father Deseille has charge of the conversion of the Indians or Savages. "5. In Logansport, Father Francois also is in charge of the Indians. “6. Terre Haute and the regions near Paris in the State of Illinois, are assigned to Father Buteux. “7. Father Corbe has charge of St. John on the Cat River. “8 and 9. At St. Peter’s and St. Mary’s on the White River are Fathers Lalumiere and St. Palais. “10. At New Albany and the Knobs resides Father Neyron. “11. At Kelso, Father Ferneding has charge of two large congregations of Germans. “12. At Vincennes resides Father de la Hailandiere as pastor of the Cathedral of St. Francis Xavier. He makes his home w’ith me. Next to our house is the new Seminary in which there are three subdeacons and two deacons.” In the same letter the Bishop continues: “There is but one large church in the diocese and this is here at Vincennes; the other twelve are built mostly of wood and are very small . . . We are very moderate in our daily food. Like ordinary people we drink water at our noonday meal, and tea or coffee for supper; never wine or alcoholic beverages. “A prominent gentleman, who believed that we as Frenchmen were in need of wine, presented us with a barrelful; but I had it sold and the money laid by, as contributions from our mission friends always are appreciated.” Bishop Brute’s episcopal labors increased along with the burden of oncoming years. The Indian mission, mostly Potawatomies, needed special care and the meager fund of S3OO a year finally allowed him by the Government for that purpose was insufficient. On June 30, 1838, the Bishop left for an extensive visitation tour of his diocese. After visiting his Illinois jurisdiction he came back into Indiana, visiting St. Francisville, thence south to Madison, Lawrenceburg, New Alsace, Dover. tt tt tt THEN again north to Shelbyville, one of Father Bacquelin’s stations where he administered confirmation to twelve persons. From there he came to Indianapolis by stage. The stage was so crowded, he had to share the driver’s seat. This was the bishop's first visit to the future metropolis and capital of Indiana. He continued to Terre Haute and St. Mary-of-the-Woods, then known as Thrall’s Station. Thence on to Jasper county among the Germans. By this time Chicago had become the largest city in the diocese. It had 7,000 or 8,000 inhabitants and only one priest, Father O'Meara, to serve them. The closing period of his administration was one of mingled trials and consolation —trials, because of his inability to adequately care for the spiritual needs of his widely scattered flock; and the consolation that the seed of the Gospel of Christ was bearing good fruit. On May 29, 1839, he told those about him that his health was failing. On June 21, he was given the last rites of the church and on June 26, he passed to his eternal reward. His remains were buried in the old Cathedral at Vincennes. (Copyright, 1934. by The Times and Humbert P. Pagani). (Next week: Bishop De La Hailandiere's administration. 1839 to 1847.

RADIO SEEN AS AID IN WEATHER FORECASTING Australia Experiments Cited to Support Possibility. By Science Service LONDON, 7.—Will the radio become an aid to the weather forecaster in making his prediction of the following day’s sunshine or rain? New evidence linking the ionization density of the radio reflecting layer of the upper atmosphere, and hence the intensity of radio signals with the weather on the ground, has been reported to the scientific journal, Nature, by Dr. D. F. Martyn of the University of Sydney, Australia. When night measurement of radio signals reveals that the layer which reflects radio waves of broadcasting frequency has a greater density of electrified particles than it had the preceding night, then the barometer invariably rises within twelve to thirty-six hours, Dr. Martyn found in experiments conducted under the auspices of the Australian radio research board. In most cases the time lag is nearer twelve hours.

In the Book Nook

BY WALTER D. HICKMAN I HAVE before me a modern book which deals with those moments in the life of Jesus which the world observed last week. The name of the book is “Jesus: A Sister’s Memories,” as WTitten by Dr. George William Gerwig and published by the Roycrofters as a companion volume to Elbert Hubbard’s “Man of Sorrows.” Dr. Gerwig has had the idea for years of showing how those who lived under the same roof when Jesus was a boy would write of Him from a brother or a sister viewpoint. So this author has written “Jesus: A Sister’s Memories,” as he supposes “the eldest sister of Jesus” would write her impressions. The right to do this is protected, according to the author, in Matthew 13:56 ‘And his sisters, are they not with us?” Again in John 21:25, 20:30 “There are many other things that Jesus did which are not recorded.” Dr. Gerwig contends 'in his foreword that “doubtless these all but unknown sisters of Jesus grew up in the carpenter’s family at Nazareth. They would hear direct from their mother the marvelous story of the Babe in the Manger, of the three and holy men who came from the east bearing gifts, of the flight into Egypt, of all this mother’s love and hope for her wondrous son.” And so, Dr. Gerwig creates in a human way, what “this sister, Miriam, reveals” concerning the sacred memories of her brother. The reader immediately encounters this statement at the beginning of the narrative—“ Although I am the eldest sister of Jesus, I have little hope of telling in words what He was like, When Jesus himself was so little understood.” Then the eldest sister of Jesus describes Him when very young as “different from other children.” She maintains that He grew tall for his age and that He was much taller than two of His other brothers. She recalls that His hair “had a glint of gold” and that His eyes resembled his mother’s because they had “a gleam in them.” a a EVEN this sister of Jesus admits that she had a child's curiosity concerning her remarkable brother. She often asked her mother concerning His strange birth. She relates that her mother told her at various times “the story of the of Jesus.” Then the wondrous story was told and retold as Miriam grew, understood and observed her brother. She relates the instances when Jesus proved HTs great learning and understanding when a very young boy before men of great education of that day. The sister never loses track of the influences that the mother had on Jesus. She records the “first real trouble” that came into their home. That was illness of their father, Joseph, who “sickened and suddenly died.” She tells what Jesus did at that time—“ Jesus went, for hours, to His seat in the lea of the rock on the hilltop.” And then this marvelously human observed: “It was years be-

fore Our Father who is in heaven were revealed to Him through His experience with our earthly father, Joseph.” A beautiful story is related ■when the sister records the baptism of Jesus in the water of the Jordan. Here is literature because it is Bible and because it is eternally human. In discussing Jesus on the mount, the sister records simply: “I remember as though it were yesterday, when He spoke to the people as they gathered about Him on the mountain.” Then she tells the beautiful fact of this accomplishment, that Jesus was “then at the full power of his manhood.” Here, to my way of thinking, is writing that brings all readers in elbow’ touch with the central character. That is writing. And then this statement concerning the last days of Jesus: “The horror of those final days still haunts me, like an gvil dream.” And that is literature and a natural response to the question, “How would a relative write his or her memories of Jesus?” Dr. Gerwig has answered that question in the form of a masterpiece because its source is the masterpiece.

’NICKLE BEER' FIXED AS GOAL BY BREWERIES Revived Industry Year Old Today: Lower U. S. Tax Sought. “Bring back the nickel schooner." This is the new objective of the Hoosier brewing industry announced today in a statement from the Indiana Brewers Association setting forth what the first year in business has meant to industry and governmental financing. For it is just one year ago today that 3.2 beer became legalized and the Indiana beer law. with its permit system of tax payments, became effective. Decrease in the $5 federal tax levy would make the 5-cent schooner possible the statement sets out. Taxes Take 60 Per Cent “With approximately 60 per cent of the price of the brewers’ product going to federal and state taxes, the famous ‘nickel schooner' of beer is a long way in the distance,” the statement sets out. “If. however, the federal government can be induced to reduce its $5 a barrel tax to a smaller figure so that a 5-cent glass can be sold, the industry believes that increased consumption will enable the government to obtain more revenue than it does now.” The first annual report shows that thirteen of the twenty-two licensed breweries in the state are in operation; three more expect to get under way by May 1, and another by Aug. 1. Breweries Employ 1,700 Capacity is 2.650.000 barrels annually. Four of the plants were newly built and thirteen rebuilt and enlarged. The breweries operate a fleet of 225 motor trucks and are loading twenty-two refrigerator cars daily. Those employed directly in the breweries numbered 1,700 for April, as compared with 260 in April of last year. Average weekly pay roll is $40,500; capital investment, $lO,184.000; number of stockholders, 6,813; revenue from beer permits, $1,244,138; licensed retails, 4,277; gallonage sold for the state, 12,604,715; excise tax, $630,235; barreljage manufactured, 575.000. and federal taxes paid, about $3,000,000.
