VATICAN MUST BE
 FREE OF VETOES
ORGAN OF CATHOLIC CHURCH AT ROME CONTAINS ANOTHER AM sWER TO SPEECH OF COUNT GOUOUCHoWSk.

Rome, December 26 The Osservatore Romano. the vatican organ, contains an- other and it is considered more important answer to the part of the speech of Count Goouchowsld, the Austrian foreign minis ter, delivered December 16, which referred to the veto of Austria against Cardinal Rampolla at the late conclave.
 The paper says that the holy see is stud ylng measures to prevent the practical or the theoretical use of the right to vote in couclaves. The substance of the article (which Is attributed to Pope Pius) is that the changed political and religious condi- lions today render unbearable the veto which in the past the church prudently tolerated. When the civil and ecclesias- tical powers were strictly united, the arti- cle says, the sovereigns of Austria, France and Spain were the right arm of the Catholic church, making the church pay dearly for their protection but rem dering altogether significant service. Therefore. fl continues, they were rela lively justified in having personna grata as pope. But today when governments make open profession of atheism, perse- cute the church with in4uitious laws, and proclaim the complete separation of civil and ecclesiastical powers, to pretend 10 influence a papal election is arbitrary and an injustice repugnant 10 modern conscience, besides, because the constitu- tiona governments veto is no longer in the hands of sovereigns but in those of men often without faith.
 The article concludes:
 "What Golouchowsld did, tomorrow might be done by Combes.'

 High Wind Responsible.
 Detroit, December 26.-The official state ment issued at the general office of the Pere Marquette here declares that the high wind was responsible for the wreck by blowing out the red light in the signal board at McCords which was put out to stop the westbound train. The statement says:
 'Both trains had orders to meet at Oak dale Park, but as the westbound tram was not doing as well as was expected, the orders were changed. The trains were then ordered to meet and pass at FOX the first crossing east of Oakdale Park. The eastbound train got the new orders al Ninth avenue in Grand Rapids, and the operator at McCords. where the west bound train was to receive It's orders, put out his red signal on the order board. The westbound train came along and ran py the signal The McCords operator inn mediately reported this to the dispatcher and then went immediately to his signal board where he found that the light was out. The light was burning and showing red two minutes before the westbound train came along. The high winds how ever, blew it out in the fhort time.'

 Trains and collided about one and a quarter miles west of East Paris The engines. baggage cars and smokers were demolished. Five bodies have been taken from the wreck and three or four persons are so badly injured that they will prob- ably die.
