ST Louis, April 2.-Rhodesia has ac

SEPARATE CHURCH AND STATE.
That Is Declared by Bishop Burke To
Be Object of France.


New York, April Mot only is
the attempt to suppress the religious
orders in France a move against the
Roman Catholic church, but 1t is an
attempt to de-christianize that coun-
try" said Bishop M. F. Burke, OF ST.
Joseph, Mo, when he arrived here on
the steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse. He had been abroad to at
tend the pope's jubilee.
This movement is a dreadful one,
and l suppose those in power will keep
on to the bitter end" said he II cam
not tell what the outcome will be.
Many of the sisters and other members
are coming to this country. The Car
thusian monks, l believe, are going to
settle on the island of Goze, British
possession near Malta. The move
ment is an attempt to separate church
and state. This is not desired either
by the hol father or by Catholics"

A number of bricklayers employed on
the State House annex. declare they did
not strike during the progress of the work
on that building, but the delay was
caused by lack Of material, the contractor
having been obliged to lay off the brick
layers from time to time for this reason.

CAPITAL reporter, taking exception to the
article as published in Baltimore paper.
A number of them stated that their
only stoppage Of work was during the
week commencing May I2th. when they
stopped because, owing to dispute be-
tween Henry Smith, the contractor. and
Jewell Brothers, sub-contractors for the
brick work. they we're not paid. They
state that most of the delay was on ac-
count OF shortage OF material. Their
statement is that. although the specifca-
tions were for the completion Of the

Three Fights Saturday Night

There was rumpus in three different
sections OF the city Saturday night. One
fight, in Acton lane, was Of a serious
nature. 1t originated among the coIored
populace and an axe figured conspicu-
ously in the row.
Another fight was among whites on
Market Space. and still another on Cow
ernor's Circle, in which drunken ma.
rines were the participants. The police
were engaged at the two fights and were
not to be found to take charge Of the
third. A marine officer heard of the
trouble with his men, and four shots were
fred to attract the police to the scene.
The shots awoke the nearby residents,
and caused much alarm. Finally, the
marine officer, not being able to secure
a city policeman, acted in that capacity
himself and took one Of his men to the
station house for the night.
