(By leased Wire to The Times) Montreal, Sept. 10 Under a flaw less a nt ii am sky, Cardinal Legate Vunnutelli presided at pontifical mass on tin.' slope of Mount Koyul in the presence of 10,000 worshippers, tin- greatest assemblage ever .. gath ered in a single act of worship in the New World. This was the crowning devotional ' font uru of the Eucharistic Congress in session here. The vast multitude spread from the ropes that guarded the beautiful altar and choir stands across Park nvoniie, down towards Pine avenue and up towards Royal avenue, while oilier thousands had secured vantage points higher up the slope in the rear of the altar. ' The music was an impressive fea ture of t he services. The veteran choir leader, Prof. Conpare, directed . the voices. The solo parts, were given by a small picked choir consisting of so loists from the Cathedral and Notre Dame, while the choruses were taken up by 3.000 voices at. the right and 'ell of the altar while an immense band was massed against the hill in such a manner that the slope acted as a Hounding board sending the har mony nnd rolling in majestic volumes over (lie congregation and across tho open fields. The sermon in English was preach ed by Archbishop O'Connell, of bos ton, whose clear and ringing voice was distinctly audible to the greater part of the worshippers. The spectacle at the altar was ex traordinarily . rich and gorgeous. The whole sanctuary was banked with the most exquisite flowers and plants and the altar itself was deck- Oiy Leased Wire to The Times.) New York, Sept. 10 In fear of un dergoing -an operation which his phy sician said was of a trivial nature, Samuel S. Innes, a wealthy shoe mer ' chant of Charleston, S. C committed suicide today in the Hoffman house by shooting himself in the head, Ilia brother Charles, who came to this city with him last Tuesday and who was asleep In an adjoining room heard the shot and found his brother dead. Dr. Jennings, was summoned and pro nounced Innes dead. For several months the merchant has been complaining of stomach trouble. Ho was (Inally persuaded by members of his family to come to this city and undergo an operation. With his brother he arrived here on Tuesday and reg istered at the Hoffman House. After his arrival here he. consulted several specialists and he was to have undergone an x-ray examination today. 'Thi)' had been worrying him a great ileal during the past two days and he Mid his brother he feared undergoing the operation. When he retired last night he was In the best of spirits, according to his brother. He bid his brother good night and then went to his room. Early today his brother and Dr. Wilson, the Innes' family physician who came north with the merchant, heard a shot and burst into the room. Jnnes was found dead on the floor.. Nearby was a revolver with one cham ber empty. Innes was head of the wholesale and ..kiii iirm of Drake. Inns & Com pany, of Charleston, and reputed to be very weaitny. The body 'wilr be taken south tomor- ed in the richest of drapings. These with the glittering vestment of the celebrant and his deacons, the blaze of the monstrance, and the light of many" candles In golden candle sticks made the whole group under the can opy a living mass of light and color, In the space within the ropes were 2,000 clergy accommodates who wish ed to participate in this, the most largely attended and magnificent mass in the history of the Dominion. Owing to the unavoidable clash with the St. Patrick's ceremony, due to yesterday's rain, and the postpone ment of the open air mass from that day, there were comparatively few of the Knglish speaking clergy present, but the French Canadians and for eigners, amply made up for this de ficiency. The celebrant of the mass was Archbishop Farley of New York. He was robed in gold vestments and used the new monstrance presented to Lie archbishopric of Montreal by the English-speaking Catholic ladies of the city. He was attended by the largest train of acolytes, sanctuary boys and other assistants ever seen at a mass in Montreal. The cardinal legate was attended to his throne by his chamberlains and personal fol lowing and by the archbishop of Mon treal, the Prince of Croy and many archbishops and bishops. The guard or honor of the Mount St. Louis ca dets were also In attendance. At St. Patricks, the largest Eng lish Catholic church in the city 10, 000 worshippers attended early mass this morning... Cardinal Logue and Cardinal Gibbons were both present and made- brief addresses. The Montreal Council of the Sons of England met last night and passed a resolution denouncing Rev. Dr. Bernard Vauguan, of London, for his attacks on Protestantism as "a soul less religion."' Amongst other things the resolution declares the attack "a flagrant abuse of hospitality accorded Dr. Vaugiian by the city of Montreal, and liable to provoke a condition of riot among its citizens." The resolution calls attention to the fact that it was a protestant who headed the Eucharistic Congress subscription list with a gift of five thousand dollars. When the mass was over and the vast crowds were working back to the city, newspaper men estimated that the attendance at the open air service instead of being 40,000, as was at first estimated, was nearer 150,000. The arrangements were perfect and not a single accident or untoward in cident marred the service. Cardinal Vannutelll was vastly pleased. "This was the gieatest and most devout audience I ever witnessed." he declared. America's Day. Montreal, Sept. 10 This was chiefly America's day in the cere monies attending the Eucharistic congress and the laymen and clergy of the United States were accorded a prominent part in the day's program. So many strangers arrived late yes terday and early today tnat it was evident at an early hour that the great audience which gathered on the slopes of Mt. Royal yesterday morn ing at high mass, which was dis persed by rain would be eclipsed today.- Montreal was hardly astir ocfore great crowds commenced moving to wards Mt. Royal park for the ponti fical high mass, the celebrant of which was Archbishop Farley, of New York. There was a great strug gle for points of vantage. The American influence was strong ly exerted today in the direction of having New York selected as the meeting place of the congress In 1912. : ' ' ', . The commanding influence of Arch bishop Farley, of New York, was shown In the report that a majority of the ecclesiastics who will have the decision of the meeting place for the congress in 1912 are favorable to wards New York. ''. It Is currently believed that Arch bishop Farley will proclaim condi tions favorable for the holding of the great congress In his city at the ensuing , meeting time. Cardinal Gibbons is also said to favor New York and a number of the foreign clergy have unofficially declared In favor of the American metropolis. The Catholic club of New York has been accorded a place in the Eu charistic foot procession tomorrow. Several hundred members of the Holy Name Society will arrive here In a special train from New York early tomorrow morning to march in the procession.

Wanted Farmers' Union Turned Over to Him For Political Purposes. '(Special to the Times) Charlotte. Sept. 10 That the na tional farmers' union, which closed its annual session in Charlotte Thurs day night, was invited and urged to take a stand in the political field by an able representative of Hon,' Thos. Watson, of the Corncriicker State, and was besought to declare for a platform alter Watson's own ideas, and to put out its own candidates, and thus become a political organiza tion, contrary to its constitution, Was learned here after the dispersion of the delegates to their homes. When the legislation committee rendered its report, it was noted that this was a majority report. Now it develops that there was a nilnority report, which was prepared bf Mr. Frederick Wimberley, of Georgia, a strong follower of Watson, and a member of the committee on legisla tion. The minority report, it Is said, was listened ..to w ith kindly forbear ance, but that was the extent of its reception, for the men at. the head oT the national union and the assembled delegates, almost to n man, planted both feet on the proposition present ed by Mr. Wimberley, and fathered by the able W-atson, so it is stated, followingthe convention. The censorship of news by the con vention was such that little of the entire proceedings were dug out by baffled reporters, but U is pretty cer tain that much interesting business was transacted that has not got ten further than the ken of the delegates who were present at the closed ses sions of the convention. In justice "to Mr. Wimberley If should be slated that his minority report received strong support in some quarters, but the officers of the organization were in particular op posed to 'put ling the ltiiiini on record as favoring a leap into the political arena, and "the .-minority report' was tinned down, and that, of i.he major ity adopted.

The incideni of J he minority, re port.' however, is iioi without 'consed era'hle' import, and tends to 'indicate' that there are those in .... the';' .'.union who would like to sec I lie organiza tion herom& a nation-wide factor in politics.
