CENTER. Feb. ?.-Cnlef of Police
Mlchsel IVIantr said this afternoon that
a letter written by Ovx'rfppe Alio to his son.
whirh was found In the cell occupied by
him while In Jail at Colorado Springs, con
tained proof that men In alx cities In the
United Statea were connected with him In
the kllHng of Father Leo.
Almost at the n omer.t he made this tate
ment came news that alx arrest had been
made in eastern cltlee of men suspected of
being accomplices of the murderer.
J. Vannle was arrested In New Tork to
day, charged with being the chief of the
eoclety, while In Pittsburg Orotos Sodl.
Tomasso Calsbreao, Orestos Melaval and
Mallo Tolmei were locked up for being Im
plicated as members of the society. The
police of New Tork and Pittsburg say they
have evidence which connect these men
with the killing of Father Leo.
Arrests have been made In four other
cities, but becauso the police of these cities
are shadowing other men. no Information
Is given out as to who the arrested men
are.
Chief Delar.ey said today that he was
not sure whether Alio waa merely a tool of
the Anti-clerical society, to which, he said,
all these men belonger, or whether he waa
a ringleader.
Guleppe Alio, the slayer of Father Leo,
after conferring with Robert Wlddecombe.
counsel appointed by Ihe court to conduct
his defense, has repudiated the signed state
ment made by him In Jail at Colorado
Spring, .is well as all bis other confession.
"I didn't kill the priest, he fell dead,"
Alio declared last night.
"I am a Catholic and had gone to the
chjrch to pray, i didn't go there to receive
the sacrament. While I was kneeling the
priest came along and put the sacrament In
my mouth. It Is against the rules of the
Catholic church to take the host without
first having been to confession so I spat
it out. The priest fell back and I heard
everybody Jump up. It being a strange
place to me, I waa afialj, and I ran out."
Alio Is In poor physical condition. He
had quite evidently undergone privations,
and hla story of living on a single meal a
day at the free soup house would aeem to
be borne out by hla drawn face and weak
frame.

abroad, talked yesterday of general busi
ness conditions.
"The metal business, ss a whole." said
Mr. Guggenheim, "has puffercd In this de
pression more than was to have been ex
pected for even such a sensitive barometer
of business conditions. Copper, In my
Judgment, haa taken the place formerly

will be a large Improvement by aummer

year. By the time the elections have been
decided fresh capital will be forthcoming.
"Wall street Is undoubtedly blue. It Is
my opinion thai present conditions do not
warrant so much pessimism. Wall street
Is no doubt the barometer of the ountry'a

to a coming decline than to a succeeding

STUDENTS nONOR DOWLING
Young" Men at Creighton Give Recep
tion to Retiring President.
"PRINCIPLE," PARTING MESSAGE
After Foarteen Tear of Dlatla
finished Service aa Head of Great
University Dr. Donllag Lays
Down Work.
"Principle, that word I have spoken of
more than any other; principle, that word
which meana so much In a man's life; prin
ciple, which might be said to be the de
terminer of deatiny; principle, that word
which meana so much; principle. Is the lat
word I want to leave with you, my young
friend."
80 spoke Rev. M. J. Dowllng. retiring
president of Creighton university, Irr his
farewell talk to the students at a reception
tendered him by them Friday afternoon.
Hia last charge to them was to live up to
their principles, not because It seems aire
or because It be forced upon them, but for
the sake of their principles and Almighty
Ood.
Stating that the greatest pleasure he has
received from his work here was the knowl
edge that he had done some good and that
the atud.mts have harkened to his mes
sage and profited by his words, Father
Dowllng spoke highly of the member of
the faculty and that he would not take all
the credit for the work done In the. school,
for nothing could have been accompllphed
but for the generosity of the late Count
Creighton and the support of the entire
faculty. He then pointed out the differ
ence between the local cnducatlonal lnstl
tut Ion any any other school of higher learn
ing In that the members of 4he faculty In
Creighton university receive no salary; they
work for the love of the work, and there
fore have something higher In their heart
than almply the duty of the hired educator
who worka for pay.
"I Have Done My Best.
"I have done my best for Creighton uni
versity, but all that I will take away of
that which I material will be about $8, to
get me to my new location. But I am con
tent. We do not work for money; we have
been dealing with you, students, for the
greater glory of God and for the sako of
humanity through you, for by your educa
tion received here you will be enabled to
do more for mankind and for Ood and be
worthy of Creighton university."
Following Father Dowllng. Father Ma
geveny, the Incoming president of the uni
versity, spoke a few words to the students,
congratulating them upon their manliness,
that which he said he had heard the moat
of, even before coming to Omaha.
"Manliness Is the most essential," de
clared Fnther Mageveny, "for foundations,
studies, profeFors. nil go for naupht un
less the students are of the manly kind."
Tribute to Father DowHaar.
The new president spoke hltjhly of Father
Dowllng and of the work that has been
done In the school In other years, and asked
for the same kind of co-operatlon In the
future that has been manifested In the
past. In closing, as a token of respect to
and reverence for Father Dowllng, Father
Mageveny called for a standing vote of
thanks, which was given, the boys fol
lowing with three cheers, first for the retir
ing president and then for the new, bring
ing the afternoon exercise to a close by
giving the college yell.
Trior to the short talks by the old and
new heads of the Institution. Ray Stoat, on
the part of the academic department of the
school, and Ray Corrlgon, on the part of
the college department, gave short ad
dresses, eulogizing Father Dowllng and
promising upnort to Father Mageveny.
Thomas Lamphler read an original poem,
which, In rnnst pleasing language, told well
of the great work the retiring president ha
done and of the reluctance felt by the
students In his leaving. A quartet enliv
ened the program wrth a couple of selec
tions. This Is Mr. Lemphler'a poem: '
A Memory and a Hope.
The glories of a day well spent with strife
But mark a single stepping stone In life;
Yet from the peaceful dusk of twilight hour
Ascends each haloed act of vital power.
Each worthy deed dnne for humanity
To live forever in eternity.
Thus dav to day the full-grown cycle make
And each strong action done for God, par
takes In full of noble hero's glorious meed
And add to It the gem of godly deed
A thing more fit to grace the land above
And win the glory of omniscient love.
Ten suh long year each day for man and
God
Has marked the path which thou has noblv
trod
With deed, though hidden from the flat
tering crowd.
If known would cause th great, with
laurels proud.
To bend snd crown thee man of strength
and might.
To born anj unborn men a living light.
Success Itself, from man's begrudging
hand.
Ha snatched the laurel wreath, the saerei
band
And on thy brow has placed that emblem
rare
To tell, how from a weakling sprang with
care

"The reports Indicate that pnst school
are maintained at about fourteen pouts.
At these post attendance at outslda
schools is generally impracticable. Usually
these schools are not especially satisfac
tory, as the ages of the children vary con
siderably and It Is Imporstblo to maintain
proper grades for nil of them. Moroover,
It Is not always poesihle to find an en
listed man who Is suitable for the position
of school teacher. However. It Is thought
that good facilities for education exist at
many of the posts and at all posts some
provision for the education of children has
been made. It la not thought that there
Is any pressing need for legislation In this
matter."
