United States Likely To Accept Carranza
PRELATE
ROCHESTER, July 12.—The moat
Reverend James Edward Quigley,
Archbishop of the Roman Catholic
Archdiocese of Chicago, known as a
profound logician, a scholar nnd a
linguist, and one of the most unosten
tatious and conservative prelates of
the Catholic church In the United
States died here today.
He was born in Oshawa, Ontario,
Canada, In 1854. While an infant
his parents moved to Lima, New
York, and when he was 3 years old the
family home was established in
Rochester, N. Y. He was the eldest
son of a large family and a relative.
Rev. Edward Quigley of Buffalo, took
a great interest in him nnd directed
his education from his first school
days.
Under the direction of the Christian
Brothers at Niagara University he
pursued his studies at St. Joseph
College, Buffalo. From there he went
to the University of Innsbruck,
Austria, and completed his student
career in Rome at the College of the
Propaganda, where Cardinal Francis
Sattollf, the first papal delegate to
the United States, was one of his in
structors. There he received the de
gree of doctor of divinity.
At one time he came near diverting
from his career in the church. In
1872 he passed with highest honors an
examination for West Point but yield
ing to the advice of his friends he de
cided to enter the priesthood.
In 1879 he was ordained priest at
Rome by Cardinal Lavelletta. The
young priest at once returned to the
United States and was assigned to
active work at Attica, N. Y. He was
there only a short time when he was
made rector of St. Joseph’s Cathedral
in Buffalo, N. Y., where he remained
12 years.
He succeeded to the pastorate and
irremovable rectorship at St. Bridgets
Church, Buffalo, in 1896, after the
death of the vicar-general of the
diocese. After the death of Bishop
Ryan of Buffalo in the same year he
—...■ »■
was chosen his successor. The fol
lowing year he was consecrated
bishop.
In the longshoremen's union strike
in Buffalo in 1898 he served as arbiter
and after 10 days negotiations the
strike was settled on the lines laid
down by Bishop Quigley. He was a
vigorous foe of socialism among the
labor unions of Buffalo.
He was ordained Archbishop of
Chicago January 8, 1903, succeeding
Patrick A. Feehan. In assuming this
responsible post he had charge of 300
churches, 13 colleges and academies,
6 orphan asylums, 16 hospitals, one
theological seminary, two universities
and several convents and monasteries.
He always took a deep interest in the
causes of church extension and edu
cation.
Among the important things accom
plished by Archbishop Quigley in
Chicago was:
Divided big parishes so as to lessen
overcrowding.
Materially improved the system of
Roman Catholic education in Chicago.
Created boards of laymen trustees
in each parish to supervise finances.
Made certain the creation of the
Diocese of Rockford by surrendering
territory tributary to his own arch
diocese.
Appointed Bishop Paul Peter Rhode
as his auxiliary, the first. Polish Bishop
named in the United States.
Called the first missionary con
gress of the Roman Catholic church
ever held in this country. It was held
in Chicago in 1908.

FIGHT FOR
LONDON, July 12.—At the annual
meeting of the Devonshire House
Quakers, already referred to in these
dispatches as divided on the question
of warfare, one of the chief speakers,
a Mr. George Benson, spoke against
the growth of armaments, and said
that the policy of non-resistance
which meant that a nation which was
not armed would not be attacked, was
the safest policy for a nation to
adopt.
"The great danger to England will
be abolished once we abolish the
great danger of the British army and
the British navy,” he said.
This was more than a part of the
audience could passively endure, and
there was a chorus of protesting
"Ohs!” But the speaker kept on
bravely:
“Once we have abolished the British
army and navy, then for the first time
in the world we shall have a nation
that is safe, a nation which fears
neither foe nor false friend. We can
do it if we wish, and we may know'
that in doing so we are strengthening
the hands of the pacificists of the
whole world and weakening the hands
of the War Lords on the continent.
Non-resistance is neither foolish nor
foolhardy.”
Here came a voice from the audi
•nee: "No It's lunacy." The speaker
ignored the interruption:
"It Is the possession of armaments
tlint is both foolish and foolhardy. The
nation that possesses a powerful army
and navy must be brave, for it is at
tracting to itself the animosity and
suspicion of the whole world. There
Is one method of safety, and one alone,
and that Is to see not that we are pre
pared against our enemies, but that
they have no reason to prepare
against us.”
At the close of the meeting a mem
ber who said he was GO years old,
asked in vigorous language how many
young men in the room had an excuse
for not being in khaki.
The chairman, a young man, re
plied: "I am glad the question has
been put. I have frequently explained
why I, as a Christian, am not in
khaki. I believe there is not one of
us here who does not honor and apre
ciate the feelings of those who are
wearing khaki. But they are wrong.
We must say that, seeing the thing
as we see It, enlistment Is absolutely
impossible. Even if it were a ques
tion of being compelled, we could
not."
The chairman was applauded, but
the questioner came back at him
heatedly, describing him and the
other young men in the room as
“slackers and shirkers." There was a
good deal of noise and a number of
young men tried to protest.
The chairman tried to close the
discussion by remarking, “We don't
mind any name that may be applied
to us.”
A woman member suggested that
the United States had never been at
tacked because it had such a small
army and navy, and the chairman en
dorsed her point of view by remark
ing that he was quite convinced that
if Great Britain had not had an army
and navy, she would never have been
attacked. "War,” added the chair
man. "Is atheism itself, and the basis
of tlie future understanding among all
peoples will be the love and charity
which is in men's hearts all over the
world.”

CORDOVA ON SUNDAY
RESEMBLES SKAGWAY
Everybody in Cordova, who did not
go out to see the glaciers yesterday
spent the day in a motor boat. In
fact one of the traveling men who
are here remarked to his friend that
the town was so deserted it made him
think of something that happened to
Oak Olson, the well known traveling
man when Oak was last in Skagway.
Oak was walking to the dock one
morning, when a boat was In, and was
stopped by a party of tourists who
were viewing the town.
“Excuse me,” said the man in the
party, accosting Oak, "but 1 can see
that you are a minister, and perhaps
you would be so kind to tell me where
the cemetery is?”
Oak explained to the gentleman,
that although he had a clerical look,
he was not a gentleman of the rk>th,
hut that he was following a calling
almost ns good, that of a traveling
man, and started In to give explicit
directions about reaching the burial
ground, when he was interrupted by
the tourist, who said, ‘‘Oh, that is all
right, we thank you, you see we have
been walking through the town and
we have not seen a living soul. So
we thought we would like to visit the
cemetery and at least view what was
left of n past civilization."
——— :o:
Oscar Breedman will take the Mari
posa tonight for Seattle, and expects
to return on the same boat.
— :o: —
Two trains will leave here for
Chitina this week, besides the one to
day. One will go out Wednesday and
the other Friday morning.
Special to The Times By Associated Press. i
WASHINGTON, D. C., July 12.—The Roldiersj
<•( General Carranza under Gonzales, have completed!
their occupation of Mexico City. Zapata and hisi
soldiers succeeded in retiring without losing any of
their guns or supplies. It is felt here that the
occupation of the capital by Carranza enhances the
latter’s chance sof recognition by the United States.
The possibility of his recognition as the govern
ment of Mexico will be further improved, and almost
assured if he manages to continue his present suc
cesses, and acquires some of tin* country to the north
ward. If Carranza can conquer a portion of the
northern states so as to get into direct communion
tion with the United States it is believed that his
government will la* accepted by the W ilson admin-1
istrntion as the official government of Mexico.
Nothing official along these lines is being given out
by the authorities but it is felt that this would la
the natural consequence of further defeats of Villa.
It is said that the famine which lias existed in
Mexico City has already been relieved'and that large
shipments of foodstuffs have been sent along the
railroad from Vera Cruz. Regular trains service is
now maintained between the capital and the sea
port. The increasing probabilities of trouble with
Germany will unquestionably prevent this country
from interfering in Mexico at the present time. The
administration will, however, continue its close
watch on Mexican affairs, and the possibility of
intervention has not been entirely done away with.
EL PASO, July 12.—General Oroszco, who was
arrested here with Huerta, charged with attempting
to foment a revolution in Mexico, has jumped his
bail bond, and crossed the border. Oroszco was
under $7,500 bond' to appear in court today, and did
not show up when his trial on a charge of violating
the neutrality laws was called. His counsel declared
that he had just learned that tin1 Mexican had
escaped into his native country. The bail bond was
declared forfeited by the presiding judge.
BROWNSVILLE July 12. Reports here from
the field headquarters of General Carranza state that
his troops have captured A guns Oalientes from
Villa.
NEAR DEATH
i
8AOAMORE BEACH, Mass., July
12.—Francis E. Clark, the president
of the Christian Endeavor Society. Is
critically ill at his summer home
here. The noted religious worker is
suffering from typhoid fever, and is
fighting gamely for his life. The
physicians in attendance refuse to
hold out much hope for his recovery,
although they say that he has a fight
ing ehnnce to pull through, and that
Mr. Clark is as cheerful as he ran be
under the circumstances. The fever
has reached its worst stage, and if
the present crisis is successfully
passed the chances will improve for
his recovery. The latest bulletins
issued from the bedside of the sick
man state that he Is somewhat better
today.

EMPLOYES GRATEFUL
The employes of the railroad com
pany. and their families extend their
thanks to Mr. Corser for the excursion
to the glaciers which he tendered

sincere appreciation of his courtesy.
