Ignoring the admonition of Archbishop Pron tiorgast not to make public his charges against the Ancient Order of Hilier nians, the Rev. Daniel I. McDermott, rector of St. Mary's Catholic church, Kave out copies of the letter he sent to the Archbishop, in which he review ed the crimes of the Molly Maguires, (connecting them with the Hibernian order, and alleged that a former president of the A. 0. H. "piloted and compassed the murder of Dr. Cronin in Chicago." Father McDermott rosigned last week as a protest against the pro posed opening of the A. 0. H. conven tion in Pottsville with high mass. "II was n former National Presi dent of the A. O. II. who plotted and compassed this murder," he said. "His guilt was so well known in Phil adelphia that one faction of Irish pat Tiots iraised $8,000 to prosecute him as m accessory before the fact as all the leading racquet weilders in the united States. In grappling the dope on Mcl.oughlin the wiseacres are stymied liy a colossal if. The Comet, if in shape, they contend, will give both Johnson and Williams a tough battle. Johnston stands a great chance of pulling through with an other victory. His game this season has been up to his standard of 1915. Williams, champion of 1914, who learned his tennis in England, is one player without a weak stroke. How ever, Williams with all his playing skill is erratic, a weakness that makes his supporters hesitate about picking him as the next title holder. Johnston Shunned Tennis San Francisco, Aug. 21. If "Bill" Johnston, national tennis champion who will defend his title at Forest ball player at the University of Cali forma. It was "Bill's" mother who dis suaded him from following his foot ball ideals and turned his attention to the tennis courts. The secret came out when Robert Johnston, the cham pion's father, discussed his son's ca reer in an interview today. "When Bill was about 11 years old," said the elder Johnston, "he was quarterback on the boys' football team that used to play on the va cant lots in the Haight street district. All his thoughts were of gridiron glory. Ho was as proud of his blud dy nose and crippled legs as a soldier of a wound received in battle. f "His mother wasn't very enthusi astic about football and it was through her efforts that Bill joined S. R. Marvin's boys' tennis club when he was 14. "It was plain from the start that he had natural fcrlent for the game. His long distance running as a lit tle tad gave him speed on the courts. All the club tournaments ended with the finals between Bill and "The Shrimp," a lad now generally known as Johnny Strachan. Together in the doubles they were invincible. Play ing against each other, sometimes one, sometimes the other, would win. I 'believe that team is still invincible in the doubles. "Bill has won half a hundred cups and other trophies, but I believe the prir.e he appreciated most was a pair, of flannel pants he won at Stockton when funds were low. "Incidentally, Marvin's boys' club also produced Maurice McLoughlin, Peck Griffin and Dr. Melville Long, in addition to Strachan and Johnston." having guilty knowledge of the mur der. "When this man faced Dr. ('renin's friends in Philadelphia they were ready to tear him to pieces. As he tred lire a lion be fere them, his courag" and threats saved him f.om the fate hi'- guilt deserved, as a party who was present told me." Six Masonic Meetings in Chicago. Chicago, Aug. 21.

In announc ing the result of a painstaking can vass of the political situation in Maine made by James C. White, one of the best known political writers of New England, the Boston Herald (Re publican) which is conducting an earnest campaign in behalf of Mr. Hughes, makes the admission thai, "the present indications are that the Democrats will administer a smash ing defeat to the Republicans at the September election." Summarizing the result of his in vestigations Mr. White, who is re ferred to editorially in the Boston Herald as "our seasoned political correspondent ,"' says: "The handwriting i plain upon the wall and it is spelling defeat and it is going to bo a defeat all the more aggravating because it is unnecessary for the reason that the Republicans, who should know better, are attempt ing in a disorganized way to make a vital campaign against a Democratic field composed of Governor Curtis, Senator Johnson ami W. F. Pattan gall, who have made organization their finish in all campaigns." Our Coal Creed WE believe in good coal, in clean coal, in coal that looks good, burns better and heats best of all.
