Notre Dame U. Ready to
Start $750,000 Stadium
New Athletic Plant in In
diana Will Seat Sixty
Thousand
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
NOTRE DAME, Ind.—Prelimin
ary building operations began this
week on Notre Dame’s newest ad
dition to its athletic plant—a $50,-
000 stadium which will seat 670,000
football fans.
The new stadium will fill a want
long felt by Natre Dame athletic
teams. Although “Fighting Irish”
teams, manned by Knute Rockne,
always have drawn hundreds of
thousands of sport lovers each
fall, Notre Dame has never been
able to play host to a large ma
jority of these crowds due to its
poor accommodations.
Present plans call for the play
ing of the first games in the sta
dium during the fall of 1930. As
soon as the present stands on Car-
tier Field are torn down, grass will
be planted on the proposed site of
the new field and ground will be
broken for the stadium proper.
Authorities here are not prepared
to indicate the plan of the struc
ture. Although many of the Amer
ican stadia are built of concrete,
it is thought that Notre Dame will
keep with the more modern ten
dency which calls for stadia built
of steel and faced with brick. Half
a dozen architects have submitted
plans for the structure, which will
prfibably be of horseshoe design.
E. F. Carry, Pullman
Company Head, Dies
Widely Known Catholic Lay

tion
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
CHICAGO. — Edward Fran
cis Carry, president of the Pullman
Company, a Knight of St. Gregory
and a Knight of Malta, died at his
home here April 24, at the age of
61 years. His health had been fail
ing for some time, but, until a week
ago, he had been able to be at his
Pullman Company office.
Mr. Carry was born at Fort
Wayne, Ind., May 16, 1867. He was
secretary of the Wells & French
Company and in 1899 then joined
the American Foundry Company,
advancing to the position of first
vice-president and manager in 1915.
He accepted the presidency of the
Haskell & Barker Car Company,
Inc., in January, 1916, and remain
ed with that company until 1922,
when he became president of^the
Pullman Company. When the Fed
eral Shipping Board, of which he
was director of operations, com
mandeered all American ocean-go
ing ships over a given tonnage in
1917, Mr. Carry became probably
the leading shipping master of the
world. He was later named chair
man of a port, terminal and harbor
improvement commission charged
with the Jinking up of all railways
and shipping lines in an effort to
eliminate unnecessary delays. He
was a trustee of the Emergency
Fleet Corporation from August,
1918, to January, 1919.
Mr. Carry is survived by his
widow, who was Mabel D. Under
wood, of Chicago, and by two
daughters, Mrs. Ermina Nicholson
and Mrs. Margaret Cudahy. The
Knighthood of St. Gregory 1 con
ferred 'Cjji Mr. Carry by the Holy
Father in 1924 was in recognition
of his work -as director of the As
sociated Catholic Charities. Mr.
Carry was prominently and active
ly identified with Catholic chari
ties .

Historic North Carolina
Mission Is Reopened
Maco Chapel Was Closed
When Congregation
Moved Away

Special to The Bulletin)
WILMINGTON, N. C.-JShe Catholic
mission at Maco, formerly knowp as
Farmers, or Farmers’ Turnout, in
Brunswick County, founded by the
beloved Father Mark Gross imme
diately after the War Between the
States and closed some years ago
when members of the little congrega
tion moved away, was re-opened late
in April to minister to the Catholic
who have recently moved into the
neighborhood. A motorcade carried
members of the Wilmington congre
gation to the re-opening services.
The first congregation consisted of
the late Wm. R. Henry and his wife
and three daughters; they came here
from Moore’s. Creek, Pender Coun
ty. One of the daughters, Martha,
married Major James Reilly, the fa
mous hero of Fort Fisher, grand
father of James O. Reilly, prominent
in Wilmington; Amelia married W. A.
Alderman, and Anna married Frank
Jones. Other Catholics moved in,
funds were collected for a chapel, and
it was dedicated by Bishop North
rop, a special train being run from
■Wilmington for the occasion.
Major Reilly and others interested
themselves in the founding of a Cath
olic school, St. Paul’s, and Miss Kate
Sweeney, now of Wilmington, was the
first teacher. In this school many
non-Catholics as well as Catholics
received their first education. Fo
a while the congregation thrived, but
finally the families began to move
away until but one member remain
ed, Mrs. Charlotte Williams, who died
in Richmond. Va., about a year ago.
In the beautiful cemetery adjoining
St. Paul’s lie the remains of rela
tives, of many of the most highly re
spected citizens of this section.
Whh the return to the community
of Catholic families the little chapel,
long without Mass, will again become
a center of religious life and it is
anticipated that its flourishing days of
years ago will be repeated and ex
ceeded.

ORLANDO, Fla.—The golfing
knights and all visiting knights in
Orlando and vicinity played off
their second annual golf tourna
ment April 7 and 14, over the
beautiful San lan do Golf Springs
course.

the honors for the low gross score
with an 83, and Jos. R. Kenney
came in as runner-up with a low
gross of 85. Under the handicap,
A1 Roush took the silver cup trophy

winning a golf sweater donated by
Charles Rock, Jr., Sporting Goods
Store. Others winning prizes do
nated by the council and merchants
of Orlando were, Dick Wash, Jerry
Mayer, Leonard Bumby, Bill Mur
phy and Jim Kenney.
All prizes were presented at the
regular council meeting held Tues
day April 16, by the lecturer,
Thomas Kenney, under the good of
the order, with the largest attend
ance at the meeting that the coun
cil enjoyed for some time. This
proves that sporting events of a
good wholesome nature will get out
the attendance, and the council is
now preparing to hold its first ten
nis tournament, at which the City
of Orlando Recreation department
will furnish the use of the ei4#
courts and will officiate.
Considerable talk has been going
on about running a state of Florida
golf tournament here in Orlando,
and the council would like some ex
pressions on this from golfing
knights in the state either direct
to Mr. Kenney, or through The Bul
letin. Only qualifications are that
you must be in good standing.
