Good Citizenship Emphasized at Irish Charitable Banquet
At Young's Hotel the 173d anniversary banquet of the Charitable Irish Society heard St Patrick lore and calls for good citizenship. Arthur Brisbane cited a St Patrick letter as critique of tyranny, while Justice Hammond praised Irish loyalty. The event honored leaders, with John B. Dore elected president and John J. Keenan named secretary amid reports of finances and a notable absence of a secretary’s report due to a recent death.
