Hayes

His Eminence Patrick Joseph Cardinal Hayes, considered one of the most energetic of U. S. high Catholic prelates, certainly among the most brilliant, was in Rome last week.

Quickly after his arrival Cardinal Hayes went to the Vatican with Mgr. Stephen J. Donahue, secretary of the N. Y. archdiocese, and Father J. Francis A. McIntyre, assistant chancellor and also actuary of the matrimonial court of that archdiocese. These the Cardinal was obliged to leave outside as he proceeded to the Pope's library, a promenade interrupted by the greeting of the Swiss Guards and the gendarmes at the Vatican entrance, in the Court of St. Damascus, and in Clementine Hall. In the library the Cardinal started to fall on his knees at the Pope's feet to kiss the pontifical ring, but this the Pope prevented, embracing the Cardinal in fatherly affection.
