FORMER PRIEST LECTURES
“18 THERE A GOD?" THE SUBJECT
TREATED.
Man Who for Thirteen Years Was
Father O'Callaghan of St. Mary’s
Church in San Antonio, and Joined
Baptist Here, Lectures to Large Aud-
ience—Four Reasons Presented.
Formerly Father O'Callaghan, the
Catholic priest, who for thirteen years
was rectbr of St. Mary's church in San
Antonio, and who joined the First
Baptist church here two weeks ago,
delivered an able lecture to a large
and Interested audience last night on
“Is There a God?"
In the a udience at the crowded
church were a number of San An-
tonio people, who had heard the for-
mer Catholic priest when he was In
St. Mary's, and the house was filled
with -attentive listeners.
The former Catholic priest spoke
with ease and logical reasoning. He
presented four reasons to prove the
existence of God: Moral, physical,
metaphysical and psychological.
The development of the points
named by the speaker, showed a re-
markable depth of research In litera-
ture and science. The audience was
well pleased with his utterance, and
afforded him the most considerate at-
tention.

DESIGNED TO FORWARD PEACE.
Proposed Treaty Will Avoid South
American imbroglios.
Washington, D C.. Jan. 8.—The
committee on foreign relations of the
senate today gave favorable considera-
tion to a treaty signed by the United
States and nearly all the South Ameri-
can Vepubilcs whereby citizens of a
republic who are naturalized in an-
other republic and who return to their
country shall again become citizens
of that country after remaining there
for two years.
The treaty is designed to remedy
the practice of citizens of one repub-
lic becoming naturalized in another
bordering republic and claiming the
protection of that republic upon re-
turning home. It grew largely out of
certain difficulties between the Unit-
ed States government and former citi-
zens of Hayti who sought the Inter-
vention of this country In an Im-
broglio there.

FIRST NEW YORK TUNNEL OPEN
A Long Step Towards Solving the
Greater New York Trans-
portation Problem.
New York, Jan. 8.—The first of the
series of tunnels under the waters
that divide Manhattan from Brook-
lyn on the one side and from New Jer-
sey on the other was opened for traf-
fic late tonight when the initial pas-
senger train left the Bowling Green
station of the ttttefhoro subway and
ran down the inclined tracks to the
Battery far below the surface of East
river, and went the length of one of
the long steel double tubes which par-
allel each other under the river to
Brooklyn.
The opening of this tunnel, which
is in effect the extending of the pres-
ent subway system to Brooklyn, is
regarded as a long step toward the
solution of the problem of New York—
one that brings New York and Brook-
lyn closer together and gives an out-
let to Manhattan's millions by bring-
ing the comparatively thinly prqwlat-
ed territory of I/mg Island within easy
reach of the center of business.
