RENoUNCED HIS FAITH
A Monk Announces His Remuneration
of the Catholic Church

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March 2S-There
was strange scene at the Christian
church last night. Henry c. Berg, who
had for many years been monk, for
mally announced his renunciaton Of the
Catholic belief and was baptized as a
member of the Christian church by Rev.
DR. Lucas, the pastor Berg was born in
Germany siXty-twO years ago.
DBefore his baptism he made a statement
OF the causes that had led to his leaving
the Roman Catholic church. He said his
first doubt arose In 1870 as TO the doctrine
of the infallibility Of the pope. He de-
clared that in the light Of the New Testa-
meut he could not accept the doctrine of
Durgatory, transubstantiation, the selling
of indulgences and the authority of the
papacy.

amounting to $1,000, to the church. He
has remained in the order and followed
its forms for some time after he had com

teen years he had been in a monastery at
Milwaukee, and later in one at Columbus,
and was in the latter Institution when he
decided TO leave tho order, which he did
about year ago.
He felt sadly untitled for the business
cares which he had TO chose, for his long
life as minister had tended to deprive him
of self-reliance. He was poor and with

LONDON, March 2s-Prominent Irish
men are commenting bitterly on the
news from Rome that the pope is again
endeavoring to make a handle of the
Irish cause to compel diplomatic conces-
According to Trustworthy advicps from
Rome, the pope's object in sending for
Archbishop Walsh, was not to ascertain
the condition Of Ireland, but to find out
how far that condition could be utilized
for papal purposes. 1t is said that the
papal proposition is that Ireland shall
virtually abandon the demand for home
rule, and content itself with provincial

concession secured through the influence
of the church, shall follow the example
of other European countries and stations

Archbishop Walsh is said to be in a
most embarrassing position between his
devotion to home rule and his duty to the
head OF the church. His friends hope that
he will succeed in convincing the pontifi
that such a program is impossible in the
present temper Of the Irish people and
would simply involve injury to the church
without any compensation in the way of
the coveted diplomatic arrangement.

AWAITING AN ANSWER
Commissioner Midgeley, of the
Western Traffic Association
Telegraphs Jay Gould
y Demanding the Immediate Dis
charge of Missouri Pacific
Officials
The Reply is Awaited With
Feverish Expectancy by
Railroad Officials

CHICAGO, March 2s-The crucial test
has come for the Western Traffic associa-
tion. Commissioner Midgely Yesterday
afternoon telegraphed Jay Gould demand
ing the immediate discharge of the
officials who authorized the now famous
sugar tariff reducing the Ascent rate to
40 cents from New York to Kansas City.
BY the half dozen who knew the telegram
was sent, answer is awaited with feverish
impatience. Either the foundation pr.n-
ciple of the association will be ignored
and the agreement shattered or some high
official of the Missouri Pacific will be dis
chared.
The competitors of the Missouri Pacific
insist on knowing Immediately what Jay
Gould proposes doing. They are practi-
cally certain that he intends to ignore the
association which he apparently took
great pains in forming, and this is
their opportunity for learning his
views. II appears that the tariff was
not only filed without notifying the
association, but that the railroad
abandoned all precedent by issuing it
as if it were the initial line from New
York. All corresponding tariffs have been
issued by the eastern line, reading over
the western line as a connection. This
wording apparently gives any eastern line
willing to join in the cut authority to use
the tariff.
The Offense was committed in Commits
siOner Mdgeley'S territory, and cOnse-
quently he had sole authority under the
agreement to send the telegram to Gould
All the commissioners are, however iu
session. and il is understood that they
unanimously congratulated Midgeley on
the stand he had taken. They agreed
that the Offense Of the Missouri Pacific
was a cardinal one, and that the associa-
tion would be weakended or destroyed
unless such a remedy were adopted.
