EACH COUNTRY IS ID GUARD ITS OWN Protection of Catholics in Far
 East is Settled FRANCE IS RESPONSIBLE Since Disagreement With the Vatican No Other Country Has Felt
 Strong Enough to Under
 take the Task.
FRANCE IS RESPONSIBLE

Rome. August 21.-In the conflict be- ton of the protection of Catholics in the far east, which has appeared to be most complicated, now seems likely to be solved in a simple manner.
 The eyes of the vatican turned toward Austria as being the only Catholic coun- try able to replace France as protector of the Catholics and the holy see was encouraged in it's hope by the fact that the election of Plus x was due mostly to the influence of Austria. The govern ment at Vienna, however, made 1t known that 1t was not prepared to assume this vast task of protection which would en- tail the maintenance of strong squadron in the far east.
 Austria in Inferior Condition.
 Besides this Austria being in an infer for condition to France because of her lack of colonies she merely wishes to maintain what she already has-suprem- acy more than protection over the Cath oc clergy in certain parts of the Balkans. especially in Albania where subventions
  ing their influence for political and com mercial purposes. Outside of Austria no Catholic country 1t is believed can take over the protection of the Catholics in the far east, Spain being too weak and Italy being in conflict with the holy see.
 The possibility of entrusting the task to a non-Catholic country was never con- templated France herself was never truly entrusted with the protection of the Catholics by official documents from the vatican, but undertook 1t spontaneously. The protection of the faithful in the states of the different Oriental potentates offered her an opportunity to extend her influence It was only in 1884 that the vatican sent explicit instructions to all Catholic missionaries to apply always and only to France.
 According to Pope Leo's Plan.
 This step is said to have been taken in accordance with a plan of Pope Leo to form a compact between France and the vatican so that when, at an earlier or later day the republics revenge against Germany came, it would also mean a re- conquest of temporal power for the pap acy. This policy, ably con1ucted by Car dinal simeoni prefect of the propaganda. and Cardinal Jacobini, papal secretary of state, was afterwards accentuated by Cardinals Ledochowsk and Rampolla and suited the vatican splendidly while France and Italy were enemies but the air castle exploded with the rapproachement of the two countries. Besides times being chang ed, France did not profit 10 the same ex- tent as formerly by protecting Catholics so she made no remonstrances when Germany insisted upon protecting her own missionaries. irrespective of their faith. Other countries followed in Germany s foot steps and 1t now seems that the solu- ton of the question Is that each country will protect It's own Catholics.

AMUSEMENT QUESTION UP
At GENERAL CONFERENCE
REFERRED TO A COMMITTEE WHO REPORT
1T MADE AN ADVISORY RESTRICTION.
Crusade For More Liberal Attitude ofthe
Question Beisg Pushed Vigorously to Do
Away With Mandatory Prohibition.

With the exception of the beginning
of crusade for a more liberal attitude
on the amusement question, business
moved very slowly in the Methodist
General Conference Thursday. The
events of the days session were dull
and uninteresting to the crowds that
filled the galleries, and at times failed
even to hold the attentiod of the dele
gates. The entire morning hours
were taken up in a discussion of the
report of the committee on Rules or
Order, which occupied part of the
session.
A question of importance which has
come prominently to the fore in the
conference is that involving a change
IN discipline to the extent of entirely
removing the Church ban on dancing,
card playing and theatre going. 1t
seems not unlikely that the conference
will vote TO remove the present rigid
restriction regarding the indulgence
of these recreations. The subcom-
mittee of the Committee on State of
the Church, of which Judge H. S.
Sibley is chairman, has reported back
to the main body a recommendation
in which 1t urges radical change in
the church rule on the subject, MAX
ing it simply an advisory restriction
instead of mandatory prohibition, as
at present.
Under the prevailing rule, the mem
Der of the Church who attends dance
or theatre is guilty of direct infrac-
tion of the rules of the church and
may be punished by expulsion; but if
the recommendation now proposed is
adopted this penalty will be rendered.
entirely optional with the authorities.
The Committee on State of the Church
has not decided definitely inst what
form the recommendation of the COM
mittee to the general body will take,
but it seems assured that it will pro-
pose some radical changes in the dis
clpline along the lines indicated.

A. NJ. POWELL HELD ON SERIOUS CHARGE.
Husband Of Woman Convicted of Murder. Held
For Improper Conduct on Minor.

Immediately after the sentencing of
Mrs. Mary A. Powell, State Detectives
Francis and Ratledge went out to the
Powell farm near Bowers Beach, and
arrested Alfred NJ. Powell on a charge
of acting improperly toward little
Georgianna Ford, who lived with the
family. The girl is but twelve years
old.
Powell was working when the de-
tectives accosted him and said he was
too busy to go to Dover. The detec-
tlves demanded him to get into their
carriage, and he went along without
any trouble. The alleged offence, on
which he was arrested, was committed
OF January Goth last, according to the
warrant.
The penalty upon conviction is one
thousand dollars fine and seven years
imprisonment. At the hearing he IVES
held in $500 bail for county court
Powell secured bail late in the after
noon and was released from Jail in less
than an hour after his confinement.
r. R. Kenney, his counsel, secured
Louis A. Levy, Dover distiller, for
security. Powell returned to the
farm, where he is now sole owner,
having purchased Mrs. Powell's en-
tire share of the property on which he
was arrested by Ratledge and Francis.
