IS PUBLIC CHURCH Ancient Monument of Rome is Given to Public Worship Rome, The question whether the Coliseum, that ancient monument of imperial Rome, where the Christian martyrs suffered death and men fought wild beasts to make a Roman holiday, is a public church has again been raised and decided. A proclamation, attributed by some of the Roman newspapers to the Vatican, declares that the famous building is a public church. .The point was raised recently when the Roman police prohibited the delegates to a convention of the Italian Catholic Young Men's1 association from congregating- in the Coliseum and holding a parade from that point to the Vatican. The public announcement of the decision on this point recounts the history of the Coliseum from early times. It states that Popes Clement X, Clement XI, Pius V in their pontificates prohibited "further profanations of the holy ground sanctified ly the blood of the martyrs." Benedict XIV in 1756 declared it to be a public church. From 1756 to 1870 masses had been ung regularly in the Coliseum, but when Victor Emmanuel II took possession of Rome in 1870 the practice was discontinued. During the war the custom of holding religious services in the Coliseum was discontinued. During the war the custom of holding religious wrvices in the Coliseum was again revived. After the war a requiem mass for the soldiers who died in the great war was held there. School Teacher Kills Family Kliznzbeth, N. J.

MYSTERY HOUSE HILLS And Damage Done Run Into Million of Dollars; Railroad Heavy Looter. PRISONER IN ATTIC and Night of Terror Girl Languished In Chains, According to Statement to Police. Through Day Fifteen-Year-O- ld Budapest Former Emperor Charles, whose attempt to reestablish himself upon the Magyar throne met with dismal failure Monday, attempted to commit suicide by shooting, following his arrest near Komorn. Former Empress Zita saw him preparing to shoot himself and prevented him from carrying out his intention. The former emporer and empress are now prisoners In the Esterhazy castle at Tata Tovaros, and Thomas Beaumont Ilohler, British high commissioner in Hungary, Is hurrying there, with the representatives of other nations, to Insure the safety of the prisoners. Orders sent to the rebellious troops by Admiral Horthy, tae Hungarian re. gent, spelled the doom of Charles' attempt to regain gj least a part of his former empire. The regent reminded the soldiers of their oath of allegiance to him and demanded their unconditional obedience, adding that the success of their undertaking would mean the ruin of the country. The firm stand of Admiral Horthy had its effect and the royalist forces scattered. Latest advices from the section of country around Komorn Indicated the government troops continued their pursuit of the royalists, and that the Karl. 1st premier, M. Rakovsky, and Count Andrassy were among the supporters of the former monarch captured by the loyal troops. The Hungarian government will probably await action by the allied powers regarding Charles' future place of residence. It Is known that Switzerland will not again give him refuge and it is possible that he will be removed to some place where he will be virtually a prisoner of the allied powers. The followers of the former emperor are reported to have lost half their number in attempting to retreat from Bicske to Tata Tovarcs. Peasants cut off their retreat toward the south. Capture of Gustave Gratz, former minister of foreign affairs, who was involved in the monarchist attempt. Is reported. London Former Emperor Charles' attempt to regain the Magyar throne may result In his internment either on Ascension Island or on one of the Canary islands, according to diplomat-I- c circles here, where it was stated that these possibilities might be considered by the allied supreme council. The general belief was expressed that he would be removed to a "safe place" outside of Europe. Budapest The advisability of Interning Charles in the abbey of Tlhany until the allies finally decide his fate was being discussed by the government Tuesday. It Is believed that no country would willingly grant him asylum and It Is considered probable that he would be delivered to British officers, who would escort him to some place ahioh it was hoped the allies would designate. Zita "Is expected to be allowed to return to Switzerland to take care of their children, who were left behind. EDWARD C. PLUMMER Vancouver, B.
