EXPLAINS SEPARATION
OF CHURCH AND STATE
WHITE BOOK is ISSUED BY THE
VATICAN
1t Is Stated That object Of the Vol
ume Is Merely to Make Clear the
Facts Regarding Recent Action in
France
Rv Associated prnan.

Bv Associated Press
PARIS. Dec. ga French transla-
ton of Vatican white book regard
ing the separation of church and state
reached Paris tonight. The volume
consists of 300 pages divided into a
preface, two sections and an appendix,
the latter containing many unpub-
lished documents. The book disclaims
any intention of replying to those
whom 1t calls the detractors of the
church and expresses the desire not
to offend anyone, saying that it's chief
objects are to enlighten public opinion
regarding the facts and to prevent the
handing down of misstatements con-
nected with the history of such an iln-
portant event.
In the leading chapters an effort is
made to demonstrate that the entire
onus for the rupture between the Vati-
can and the French government and
the resultant separation OF church and
state rests with various French cabi-
nets, the members Of which pursued
an anti-religious policy, including the
suppression of the congregations and
of religious instruction in the schools.
The book next proceeds with the
refutation of the accusation that sep
aration was rendered inevitable by
the attitude Of the church.
1t declares that this charge was
made between French statesmen,
knowing that the people of France had
no desire for IA separation, wished to
disclaim responsibility for the conse.
quences which, it is pointed out. would
be equally serious for France and for
the church.
Then follows arguments showing the
alleged baselessness of the charges
brought against the church of acting
contrary to the interests of the re-
public.
The question of the nomination of
bishops is discussed at length.
The appendix deals in detail with
the French protectorate over Catholics
in the far east and the argument is
advanced that although this protecto-
rate is founded on international
treaties it must depend on the will
of the Nuticnn

BROKER SUSPENDS
R. BRENT MITCHELL GOES TO
THE WALL
1t Is Estimated That Failure Will Be
for Sum Between $4,000
and $too,ooo-He Is III

By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 26.-R. Brent
Mitchell, the stock broker with offices
at 2S New Montgomery street, under
the Palace hotel has closed his doors.
A short time after the concern
orened up for business this morning it
was seen that it's obligations could not
be met and 1t was then announced that
the establishment had failed.
1T is believed says the Evening
Post, that the failure will be for a
sum between $4,000 and 100000 1t is
impossible to ascertain the exact fig
ures until Mr.. MitchelPs books are
examined and it is known how much he
is short on the stock market"
When the failure was reported grea.
surprise was expressed by all except
a few brokers who said they had ex-
pected for some time that Mitchell
would become embarrassed If he did
not stick to strict commission busi-
ness
Mitchelrs bookkeeper Charles Clark,
acting under the direction of the credit
ors, Is endeavoring to ascertain whether
o. not the bankrupt broker has any
available assets. Mitchell is reported
to be ill at his home.
Soon after the failure was made
known, Bookkeeper Clark is alleged to
have admitted to a gathering of credit
ors that for some time past Mitchell
had conducted a bucket shop busi-
ness. The bookkeeper volunteered the
statement that he was satisfied that
Mitchell did not have a dollar left.
After Bookkeeper Clark had made it
plain to the assembled creditors that
the failure could not have been worse
than 1t is, they held a formal meeting
in the assembly room of MITCHELL s
office. James Whiteley. a capitalist
and broker, called the meeting to order
and acted as chairman. He made a
brief statement OH the necessity of
forming an organization of creditors
as had been suggested by Mr.. Percy.
Mitchelps lawyer, and suggested that
the creditors agree to sell their stocks
on the basis of the official closing quo
tations of today in New York and
then to settle on that plan when the
bookkeeper will have submitted a state
nlent of theacendition of the books to.
morrow
The creditors decided that the stocks
which Mitchell is supposed to have,
since he was commissioned to buy them
for the creditors, shall be sold at to-
days closing prices and that Mitchell
shall give power of attorney to his
counsel or some other person to sign
the transfers of stocks.
