CONDEMNS FRANCES ACTION
Pope Issues EncyclicaI Regarding
Separation of Church
and State

ROME, Feb. ia papal encyclical
was issued today upon the situation
of the church in France strongly con-
demning the law providing for the sep
arati of church and state and CIV
ing advices to Catholics.
The encyclical shows that the Holy
See did everything possible to avoid
the passage of the law, which it terms
a great evil to religion and to France,
and outlines the churchs doctrine upon
the subject of relations between the
church and state. believing in their
union France had found throughout
centuries her greatness and glory.
Examining the law in itself the en-
cyclical says it is offensive and re-
pugnant to the divine constitution of
the church because the public eXer-
else of worship is entrusted to lay as
sociations. The freedom of the church,
it is asserted. is submitted to the will
of public officials, who are despoil-
ing her of her patrimony. The law,
the document continues, cannot fail to
injure the internal peace Of France,
which, especially in the present con-
dition OF Europe is in need of union
of all of her children.
1t concludes with exhorting the
clergy and people to act in accord
and with generosity in defense of their
religion and to pray to God for the
return of tranquility and peace to
France.

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP
PARTY CALLS MEETING
WILL ASSEMBLE IN FRESNO ON
FEBRUARY 22
Address Is Issued Urging All to Attend
and Take Action Toward Remedy
ing the Present Railroad Rate
Abuses
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
BAKERSFIELD, Feb. 1.-THE pub
lie ownership party recently organized
in Bakersfield has issued the follow
ing address:
THE railroad or transportation
question must be settled land of ne
cessity be settled effectually and just
ly. To this every man who desires
healthier and fairer business or eco
nomic conditions agrees.
1.-THE mass meeting of the public
ownership party called to assemble at
Fresno on the 22d of this month will
be actuated by this spirit, and for the
first time in the history of the country
will afford direct way for the Amer
lean people to consummate this idea,
the public ownership idea.
THE public ownership idea declares
that the people must own, control and
operate the railroads and the railroad
plants which shall carry the passen-
gers and freight of the nation. 1t
further declares that the people should
likewise own and operate all other
public uses and public utilities whether
state, county or municipal in their
scope.
1.-The efforts of the Democratic and
Republican members of congress in
their united zeal to enact some sort,
any sort of rate regulation, or gov
ernmental supervision that government
ownership of railroads might be pre-
vented, unequivocally disposes of any
hope that friends may have had that
either one or both of the old political
organizations would incorporate the
idea in their next national platform.
Independent political action is thus
made necessary.
1--WE urge you now to cast aside any
vain hopes and attend the Fresno mass
meeting that this movement may show
the full vigor, determination and stall
wart free spirit of the west.
"Any man who will declare himself
for the cause will have right to a
voice in the proceedings"
The address bears the name Of sew
eral residents of Bakersfield, together
with John r. Haynes of Los Angeles,
C. H. Castle of MERGED, H. o. Smith
of Porterville H. G.. Walker of Oak
land and r. A. Dague of Altadena,
members of the committee in charge.

THREE KILLED, TWENTY HURT
Explosion Of Dynamite Takes Place
In Hercules Powder Mill
In Missouri


LOUISIANA, Mo-, Feb. 17.-Three
men were killed and twenty girls were
injured by an explosion at the Hercules
powder plant eighteen miles north OF
here today. The three men killed, em-
ployes of the plant were named Booth,
Wright and Nord and all lived In Han
nibal, Mo.
The explosion occurred i'm the punch
ing house, which is equipped with ma
chinery. and the debris from this struc-
ture demolished the old punching house
where a number of women and boys
were at work punching dynamite into
moulds which form dynamite sticks.
All of the women were slightly injured,
but fortunately the building they were
in did not blow UP. The fact that the
punching Of dynamite in the house
in which the explosion occurred is done
by machinery accounts for the fact that
there were but three persons In the
building at the time.
The Hercules plant is one of the
largest dynamite manufactures In the
country. 1t produced one-fourth of the
output of the United States last year,
according to the census. The plant is
worth one-half million dollars and 1t
employees 200 persons.
