The Highest Catholic Authorities Decide That Coffins Draped in

In a letter received by Past
Commander James A. Rooney of
l,he McPliearson-Doana post,
(irand Army of the Republic, at
his home, 19 45 Eighty-third
street, Hath Beach, Long Island,
it is learned that the Catholic
authorities in Home had Riven a
decision permit titifj the display
f f the American flap around the
coffins of dead comrades in all
the churches of that denomina
tion in this country, says the New
York Times.
For almost two years there has
been considerable friction be
tween the Grand Army of the Re
public and some, pastors of that
faith over the refusal to allow a
coffin draped in the flap to he
brought into the body of the
church near the altar. Other
pastors found nolhiw? in the
Roman Catholic ritual against
this practice, and accordingly
countenanced it.
The matter came to a head a

Presentation at Far Rockaway,
when the coffin containing the
body of a dead comrade of Ran
kin post was not allowed to be
brought into the body of the
church until the flag draped about
it was removed. Some members
of the post who belonged to other
creeds apparently., resented this
act by remaining on the steps on
the outside of the church until the
requiem mass for the repose, of
the soul of the dead comrade
was finished and the coffin carried
out of the church. It, was brought
to the attention of the memorial
and executive committee of the
Grand Army of the Republic and
Past Commander Rooney, as
chairman of the law and legisla
tion committee, wrote a fetter lo
Mgr. Falconi asking him to have
the vacation settle the question.
He wanted to have a uniform rule,
adopted in all the Roman Catholic
churches in this city, so that there
would be no further trouble.
Mr. Rooney said last night that
he had obtained a greater conces
sion than he asked. According to
the eciiu from Rome, the Ilav
can be displayed at the funeral
services of members of the
Grand Army of the Republic in
the Catholic churches throughout
the country. The decision goes
even further, he said, as the same
privilege is extended to any serv
ice in Catholic churches in which
the Grand Army of the Republic
attends in a body.
With Mr. Rooney in this work f
was Mgr. William White, pastor
of the Church of the Visitation in
Richards street, Brooklyn. Father
White wrote to Cardinal Gibbons
and got him interested. It was
said that the decision of the
vacation will be promulgated
through the proper channel
throughout the church body ill
this country.

Wylle, freight commissioner of the

in an address on "Freight Rates,"

that the schedule was a tariff of low

distance tariff was largely predicated

riers that the state commission then
found in effec t, and as a matter of fact
the commission did not put In the low
est of the low voluntary rates thnt
they had brought to their attention."
That the Iowa distance tariff is
