Pontiff’s Encyclical
Condemns All
“Modernism.”
Rome. Italy, Sept 16.—Alarmed by
the spread of extreme liberalism even
among the Roman Catholic clergy, the
pope Issued an encyclical today in con.
damnation of “modernism.”
The bitterness of the attack on the
Ideas of the "new theology" and dras
tic “methods" outlined for Its suppres
sion so far as the Roman Catholic
church la concerned, render the pope's
message to bis people by far the most
Important of the present pontificate.
For the future It promises as wide
spread controversy as that over Pope
Plus IX’s promulgation of the dogma
■ of the Immaculate conception.
''Modernism." says the encyclical, "Is
the peril of the church. Its reforms
I In faith, philosophy, theology and his
tory are errors which drive support
ers Into atheism and boundless curios
ity, pride. Individualism and disregard
of true knowledge and discipline have
actually spreads its evil among the
clergy."
Philosophy and theology, the ency
clical decrees, must be taught In Cath
olic schools and universities hereafter
i in complete accord with the spirit of
the church. A board of censors is or
dered established In every diocese to
revise and edit all Catholic publica
tions, and ecclesiastics are forbidden
from sending papers through the malls
or otherwise directing them without the
bishop’s consent.
Clerical congresses are forbidden, ex.
cept In cases where the danger of
"modernism” and "laldsm" has been
. rigidly excluded. A board of super
visors Is to be formed In every diocese
to prevent the spread of "new errors."
Bishops are Instructed that they must
report Individually to the pope regard
ing matters covered In the encyclical.

COURTLAND S. WINN.
He Is considering the announce
ment of his candidacy for mayor.
"I will not he a candidate for city at
torney. The Georgian may state this
for me most positively. If I run for any
office it will be for that of mayor."
This is the statement made by Court
land S. Winn to a representative of
The Georgian Monday morning, and
there whs that In his manner which
carried the conviction that he meant
every word he said.
Incidentally. It Indicates very clearly
that the well-known attorney will be a
candidate for mayor. In. fact, he says
he Is seriously considering making the
race.
"I do not mind stating," he sold, "that
I have the matter under advisement
I am satlstied, from the assurances and
the representations made to me, that
I have a splendid chance of being
elected. My friends are conlldent that
I would command the support of a ma
jority of the citizens of Atlanta.
"The only obstacle 1 am encounter
ing Is the doubt In my mind as to
whether or not I could afford the mate
rial sacrifice that would have to be
made. A man who has built up a law
practice, no matter how great or how
small, must of necessity sacrifice a
great part of it *to properly perform
the duties that would devolve upon
him in such an important position us
mayor.
The law requires that the mayor
shall devote three hours of his time
dally to the business of the city. I
know this Is not sufficient. The mayor
should devote practically the entire
day to the city, und. with this belief
and conviction, I would, If elected, so
devote my time."
<‘clone! Winn Is now' one of the most
active and energetic members of the
board of education. He baa served a
term In council and Is, therefore, not
untried In the game of politics.
That he would be a strong candidate
and one that would have to be reckon-
vlth, no mutter who runs, will not
be gainsaid by those familiar with the
political situation In Atlanta and .with
the great personal strength of Colonel
Winn.
The recommendation of tin* auditorium-

"Please, captain.' I vant my boy to
mie back with me," said a slender
man addressing Police Sergeant Turner
nt the station house early Monday
morning.
•How did you lose bfm?” asked Cap
tain Joyner. ,
"I didn't. He van run away an’ elop
ing*," said he.
Who did he elope with?” demanded
Sergeant Turner.
"His name was Grace, an’ she live
on Elliott street, the second house from
Hush, by the corner, with the front
steps."
After much questioning. It developed
that John Fa It a, a Bohemian who came
to this country In 1X78, and who has
been living at 158 Jones avenue with
his son, Frank, learned Sunday night
thnt the boy had been married to
Grace." The father Is a night watch
man for the Hlrsch & Spitz Manufac
turing Company, and his son has been
working with him. The bride also has
been employed In the same place.
It took some time to get Falta, Sr., to
understand the questions put to him at
the police station. He tried to Involve
In his matrimonial venture a "night
man" who works for the Plntsch Com
pressing Company, the concern which
stores gas In tanks beneath Pullman
and private cars no that they may pave
light. As long ns the young man was
of age and the bride's people had not
objected, the police declared they were
unable to do anything.
If you are ull alone, as you say, why
not ask your son to come to your home
anti bring his wife?” asked the ser
geant.
"Pecause, It was nn Insult to a
chicken to ask him, vhich Is my son’s
vlfe, to cook him," said Mr. Falta. "Sht-

■Columbia, 8. C., fcept. 16.-Mrs. Ethel W.
JHuJr, charged w-Jtb the murder of her hue*
hand, M. V. Itlalr, a conductor on the Co
lumbia. Newberry and Lawrence railroad.
Iii January last, was yesterday convicted of
inatirlaughter with a recommendation to
merry.
When Mrs. Blair was brought Into the
court room there were no risible signs of
the ordeal that she hss lust passed through,
hut on hearing the verdict she fainted and
had to be lifted from tbo court room. ,
Within an hour after the verdict Mfii.
Blair had reonvered rnffldently to be taken
rto the county Jail. She Had been out on
bond since the killing.
On January 10 last McCulley Vf.
Blair, conductor on the road between
Columbia and Laurens, waa shot to
death at his home on Marlon street.
The fatal wound, it was charged, was
Inflicted by a beautiful woman—his
own wife.
At the Inqulaltlon made by the coro
ner there was startling evidence, and
tho wife of the deceased was placed in
arrest.
Captain Blair was 53 years of age;
his wife 30. He was a victim of a ter
rible disease of the stomach, which re
quired constant medical treatment.
There was apparently no affinity be
tween the two.
The homicide presented many points
of Interest, not alone from the crimi
nal side, but from the psychological.
Evidence submitted shows that Mrs.
Blair appreciated the lack of affinity
between herself and hor husband.
Three brothers married three sisters,
and two of the others met death by
violence.
IThe court stenographer’s sudden 111-
mess has delayed argument on the mo
tion for a new trial, counsel desiring
transcripts of Judge Johnstone's charge
to the jury.
Sentence will not be passed until aft
er the motion is disposed of.
Judge Johnstone has promised to
consider the recommendation to mercy
ling on quantum of punishment.
jBIair is held In an ordinary cell
lat the county Jail. Her beautiful niece.
Miss Manning West, who has stood by
her throughout the dreadful ordeal, Is
sharing her vigil.
