his list. Then 1 saw that Ferrell was
stabbed with the knife and I grabbed
him.
"Lucas turned and walked out of the
bar and disappeared. 1 telephoned tor
a doctor and then we sent the Injured
man to the hospital. I didn’t see any
more of Lucas. Neither man had been
drinking much. Lucas was certainly
not drunk and Ferrell had taken only
one glass of beer."
At the hospital Ferrell was given
prompt treatment, but It' was found
that the knife had penetrated the left
lung and It was not tsisslble to save
hi* life. He died within fifteen minutes
after reaching the Institution.

By I'rlrato Leased Wire.
New York, Sept. 4.—Among the dis
tinguished visitors In New York today
Is Archbishop John J. Keane, of Du
buque, Iowa, formerly rector of the
Catholic University at Washington, and
one of the distinguished prelates Ift the
American hierarchy. Archbishop Keane
has juit returned from a visit to Rome
and Is spending a tew days at the
Paullst house In West Fifty-ninth
street. He mode some most Interest
ing statements concerning the pope and
church matter* to friends. Among oth
er things, he Is quoted as saying:
"Pope Plus was practically forced
on the papal throne. He did not w|sh
to take the responsibility. He will not
live long. He doe* not want to. In
my opinion, he will never hold a con
sistory, and the outlook for the crea
tion of an American cardinal la not
encouraging. The pope, a few days aft
er his elevation, declared that lie would
never hold a consistory, and that he
did not wish to have a long pontificate.
I believe his wishes will be fulfilled.
"It the pope should decide to honor
this country I believe he would not
create one cardinal, but two; and they
would be the archbishop of New York
and Archbishop Ireland.”
