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
