CHURCH CLAIMS

Vatican Authorities Complain Q
Disposition Of Friar Land
Money.
PROCEEDS WENT TO ORDERS
Taft Replies That the Courts
Should Determine Rights
OF the Church.
(Bv Associated Press.) y

ROME, Oct. 29.-The Vatican authori-
ties have received reports from the
Philippines dealing especially with the
recent visit OF Secretary OF War Taft
and his attitude toward Catholic inter
csts III the island. The reports say that
Monsignor Ambrose Agius, the papal
delegate, called Il meeting of bishops
TO discuss these interests with the score
tary. The latter complained particular
Ely that the money which had already
been paid for the friars' lands had been
taken out Of the islands, and, accord
ing ITO reports, recalled the fact that
Pope Leo and Cardinal Rampolla had
promised him during his visit Ito Rome
in 19V2 that tho money for tho lands
would go, to the benefit OF tho church
in the Philippines, and not to the re-
ligious orders.
Tho bishop complained OF the delay in
allowing them to retalte theft property
TO which the secretary replied:
''The property and tho rights OF the
4 church must DO observed and protected
by the government. Those rights, when
III dispute, unless settled by agreement
must be determined by tho courts of JUS
tlcc, and the preservation OF them Is the
duty of the Philippine government not
only by virtue of the treaty OF Paris,
but by the Constitution OF tile United
States. Secretary Taft advised Catholics
to so to the Supreme Court to regain
the property which they claim from
Archbishop Aglipay, head of the Inde-
pendent Filipino ts;ss}ss;ych
The bishops con,pained that, after
asking ono member Of tho Philippine
commission to especially devote himse.l
TO the pain of Catholic interests, 1t
had not been done, even by Judge
James r. Smith, although Catholic"
3 They urged the payment by tho WaHh-
ington government OF what was due to
tho Catholics for the occupation OF
tho church properties by American
troops during tho war, and finally set
forth tho need OF financial assistance
from the state for parochial schools, The
reports say that Secretary Taft. who
showed al intention to totally OF partial
~ satisfy the other requests, declared
Il was impossible to comply with the last
ono, which was again the spirit Of the
separation of church and State, a funda-
mental principle of the United States
Constitution.
The reports express tho hope that
, t,ore will be Il change In the sltua-
ton, and that tho question OF justice
to tho schools will be settled within these
| schools, which are attended by the ma
| jority OF the children. Such an attend
ance, 1t is added. Will mean economy fo1

Vet the chief argument advanced by

Its object is TO put the State in the hands
OF German. BY the adoption Of an under
standing clause, IL Is charged that ii will
be possible for the election officers, who
will require the Interpretation of sections
