THOUSANDS OK I'll.CRIMS
SKEK CUIt;: AT l.OURDKS
Lourdes, France, Jul) 24—The
attendance at the Kucharists con
gress of the Catholic thurch, which
has been in session Ik re since July
22, was increased today by the ar
rival of thousands of individual
pilgrims from all parts of the
world.
Their advent is threatening com
plications with the hotel keepers.
When the project ot a Eucharist
congress in couneeiitn with the
twenty-fifth annivei> r.v 01 the
shrine of Our Lady 01 I.o irdes was
first brooched last ytar, it was
nearly wrecked by t ic refusal of the
iiotel-keepcrs here to grant prices
necessary for sucii an assemblage.
They were finally brought into
lino however, and, as long as Hie
congress was only attended by the
5,000 delegates they abided by their
promises. The arrival today of so
many pilgrims, howe\er. is calling
forth declarations on the part of
Ihe bonifaces that they cannot main
tain the low prices, as the pilgrims
coming .• aw should have come a
month i;;ter, at which time the an
nual pilgrimage to l.ourdes always
take place. The pilgrims are being
obliged today to se.-s lodging :it
Tarbes. Pau and other nearby
towns. The hotel l.ecprrs say they
are losing business. The pilgrims
are largely invalids from all parts
of the world, here in the hope of
miraculous cure.
The congress today followed the
general program as established yes
terday./ Simultaneous meetings
were held this morning in a dozen
different languages, the proceedings
of each being identical. In addi
tion, sermons were delivered in the
open air in a number of different
languages.
PROHIBITION" III'; ISSUE IN'
DEMOCRAT IS PRIMARIES
Dallas, Texas, July £5—Prohibi
tion was the issue in today's 6tate
wide democratic primaries for the
nomination of governor, member of
tho legislature and otter Btate of
ficers. Thomas H. Bell of Houston
was the prohibition ccndldatp for
nomination for governor and Jas.
13. Ferguson of Temple was backed
by tho "wet" forces.
Tho fight was even carried to
tho contests for nomination to tho
legislature, because If. will be up
to tho legislature lu 1916 to de
cide whether the people shall havs
another chance to vote for or
against statewide prohibition. At
tlie very top of tho ballots In the
primaries today tho voters were glv
i en an opportunity to vote for or
against ''the submission of a con
stitutional amendment prohibiting
within this state ho manufacture,
sale, exchange and interstate ship
ment of Intoxicating liquors, except
for medical and sacram» ntal purpose*
Even if the drys nominate Bell
tho wets have hopes of defeating
submission by controlling the next
legislature. The referendum on the
submission question taken today
was intended only as a guide to
tho democratic leaders who will
draft a state platform on August
11th.
The nomination of a democratic
candidate for governor is equivalent
to election In Texas. The bitter
est personalities marked the cam
paign between Bell and Ferguson.
Besides the prohibition IsBUe the
promises of the candidates have
dealt with land routs, educational
appropriation, prison reform, and
agricultural problems. A congress
nian-at large was to be nominated
today from among eleven candi
dates.
