GERMAN CATHOLIC SOCIETIES Opening AitilrcNH llrlltrrcil liy Dr. I.IHirr , | ln > CcntrlM l.rmli-r In ( lie tit-rntnn MIMVAUKHH , Aug. 22. With the public festivities concluded and the visitors de parted the 310 delegates to the forty-third annual convention of the German Roman Catholic Central society got down to busi ness today. Previous to the business meet ing today the delegates assembled at St. Antonlus church , where solemn requiem mass was celebrated for the souls of de parted members. After the ser\lces the delegates proceeded to the Oeutchormannei- vcrcln hall , where the business sessions are being conducted. President Adolph Weber of Raclno called the convention- order. He stated that the annual report of the financial secretary shows a membership of about 60,000 , rep resenting 676 societies. During the year 681 sick members were paid benefits aggregating $161,509. The heirs or 733 members wore paid $92,185. The amount of cash now In the treasury Is $1,500,000. Twenty-three new societies \\ero admitted during the year. The opening was made auspicious by the address of Dr. Ernest Llcbcr , the Illustrious leader of the centrist party In the German Reichstag , who was received with up roarious applause. Dr. Lleber thanked the convention for the cordial reception given him. He then referred to the time of his flrst visit to this country ten years ago , when ho first appreciated the character and mission of the Central society. He had grown bettor acquainted on his second visit and could now say that he was a great admirer of the Cential society. He re gretted very much that llttlo attention Is paid in Germany to American affairs and believed that there vas no better organiza tion In existence calculated to preserve and sustain the German language and German thought. The doctor then referred to the history of the centrist party as an example worthy ot emulation. Ho named them against pessimism. Modesty , In his opinion , was the greatest paillamentary vice and that modesty v > as the greatest fault of the Germans. At the close of Dr. Llebcr's address a recess was taken. At the afternoon session there tvas con siderable discussion o\cr the fund raised toward the establishment ot a chair in the Catholic university at Washington. An application had been made , President Weber said , for permission to make the contribution to some institution in Mil waukee in place of the Washington uni versity , but it has not been acted upon. Twenty-three different opinions were read from different societies , most of them ask ing that their contributions bo returned. Rev. Bethold moved that the convention offer thanks to the United States govern ment for guarding the interests of the Roman Catholic church In the newly 'ac quired territory. Adopted. Rev. Max Wurst of Wabash , Ind. , talked for the organization of a life Insurance In stitution within the societies In order to keep members out of lodges. This matter was referred to a special committee ClothiiiK 1''I nil ST. LOUIS , Aug. 22. The Tnmblyn- Po\vers Clothing company today filed a deed of trust to Dr. G. Wiley Broome to secure Jano-ii.
