ISLAND WILL REVOLT
large Land Owner from Isle of Pines
Calls en- President, but is Refused

Washington. D. c., May 2S.-Accord-
Ing to a statement by S. H. Pearcy, a,
large land owner in the Isle of Pines, a
revolt against Cuban authority in that
island will occur in the near future un-
less the United States resume control
over it. Mr.. Pearcy and his brother, J.
l.. Pearcy, called at the White House,
but the president declined to see them
and they were referred to Secretary
Root.
Mr.. Pearcy said that Americans now
w nine-tenths of the property in the
island, which they purchased solely on
the assurance of President Mckinley
and the war department that the island
was American soil. Conditions, how
ever, he says, have reached a critical
stage and the majority of the Amer
leans have stated they will tand their
oppression no longer. Mr.. Pearcy said
that these American citizens have re-
ceived many offers of aid from the
United States in case of j revolt.

Maryland Jurist Renders a Unique
Decision in Case Be-

Frederick, Md, May 21.-Judge John
c. Motter, associate judge Of the cir
cult court for Frederick county, deliv-
cred a written opinion that will prob
ably cause persons seeking divorce
in this county to "sit up and take no.
tice.' The opinion was delivered in
the case of Mrs. Ellen Fitz against Levi
titz Of Thurmont. Mrs. Fitz charged
i'll treatment and abuse. In ruling on
the aSe Judge Motter said:
The testimony shows that both the
plaintiff and defendant are somewhat
hot tempered, and if any fault is to be
found it should be about equally shared
by them. Both are we'll along in years,
were married more than thirty years
ago, and there is no substantial rea-
son to be found in the testimony WHY
they should not continue to remain
husband and wife for the probable few
remaining years of their lives. 1t is
therefore ordered that the bill of COM
plant fled in the cause be dismissed,
each side to pay its own COSTS

mend Disagreement on All the
Senate Amendments.

Washington, d. c., May 23.-The rail
road rate bill was considered for three
hours last night by the house commit
tee on foreign and interstate commerce
and the decision reached to recommend
disagreement to all of the enate
amendments n to send the measure
TO conference. The committee will not
ask that instructions of any character
pc given to the house conferees.
There vas no disposition to criticise
upon the courts to review orders made
by the Interstate Commerce commits.
sion. for in the house committee as well
as in the senate many members con-
tended that the bill as it was passed
by the house gave that authority tc
the courts. This amendment and 9TH
.ers which collectively are known as the
Allison compromise undoubtedly will
be agreed to by the house conferees.
The amendment which gave the
house committee the greatest concern
was that making pipe ines common
carriers, which the committee thought
inconsistent with the amendment pro-
shibiting common carriers from produc-
ing commodities carried by it.
Formal action was not had On any
of h amendments and therefore the
house conferees likely will be left free
to exercise their best Judgment.

capitalists. The new company will
also acquire the Ogden street railway

cate foT $500, 900. This road is thir-
teen miles in length and runs from the
city to the lake.
President Joseph f. Smith, Of the
Mormon church, is quoted as saying
that the divorce Of religion from bust
ness is made on account Of the fact
that the Mormons whom the church
sought to protect years ago no longer
need the protection of the church in
business affairs. The church entered
ers belonging to the church., but as
they are now on a firm footing the
church withdraWs from business en-
tirely.
If this policy is completely carried
out, the sale Of the traction interests
VIII be followed by the sale of stock
in banks, sugar factories, the great C.
c. M. I. department and many smaller
enterprises. 1t will be nothing less than
a commercial revolution, which will
profoundly affect the political and So
cial life of the state.

Meeting in BOSTON.

Boston, Dec. 30.-At a mass meeting
of Boston Catholics in Faneuil Hall
tonight a set of resolutions was adopt
ed, copy of which was sent to Pope
Plus X, protesting against the action
of the French government toward the
church in that country. The meeting,
which is the first of its kind to be held
in this country was under the aus
pieces Of the Catholic union of this city.
Most REV. William H. o'Connell,
archbishop coadjutor, presided, and a
scholarly address, mainly Of an histor-
ical character, was delivered by DR..
Thomas Dwight of the Harvard medi-
cal schsol.
The archbishop, who was warmly
greeted. said in part;
1--WE are assembled tonight to enter
our solemn protest as Catholics, Chris
tians and citizens against the tyranny
which seeks to destroy the true liber-
ty of religion and the freedom 5f those
who represent it, and against a les
potism which tramples upon the rights
OF humanity. The faction which usurps
the government of France to-day, has
defnantly and wantonly insuted the
august pontiff of our holy religion.
"Wuhout cause of pretext France
broke her promised pledge and violat-
ed every canon of international law.
Until France has atoned for this crime
no government can respect her word
or expect her to keep her pledges.
America, this true republic, bushes to
behold her sisters shame, and we cit
izens of this true democracy denounce
this counterfeit government of a pep
pie not by a people but by faction
unworthy to hold the reins of gov
eminent in a republic"
DR.. Dwight was then introduced and
spoke for nearly two hours giving an
interesting historical review Of the
events which led up to the present sit
uation. In speaking of the Free Ma
sorry issue, DR.. Dwight said:

VACATION FOR REV. MR.. PERRY
st. Pauls Vestry Unanimously Vote
Rest for Beloved Rector.

st. Pauls Vestry Unanimously Votes
Rest for Beloved Rector.
By a unanimous vote of the vestry of
St. PauPs church yesterday noon the
rector, Rev James DeWolf Perry, jr.,
was voted a vacation, with full salary,
from now until the beginning of Lent.
The action of the vestry came as a
complete surprise to Mr.. Perry, who
had no knowledge of the purpose of the
vestry meeting called after the morn
ing service yesterday by the senior
warden, Benjamin r. English. Rev.
Mr., Perry has been overtaXing himself
in fulfilling all the regular duties of his
ministry increased by the great
amount of special work connected with
the new improvements at st. Paurs,
and he has become nearly worn out.
Now that the work has been accom-
plished, the vestry, realizing the strain
their rector had been under, passed
these resolutions, earnestly requesting
Mr., Perry to rest and recuperate him
self fully for the duties to come:
Whereas, Rev. Mr. Perry has acted
DIS r6ClOF VI ~, raul pdIlSn lOT over
two years without any real vacation,
and has during this time devoted him
self increasingly and with conspicuous
success to the work of the parish; and
Whereas, Through his untiring ef-
forts the church has been redecorated
and the ehancel made over and beauti-
fed, to the delight and complete salts
faction Of the parishioners; therefore,
be it
Resolved, That the vestry earnestly
requests Rev. Mr.. Perry to take we'll
earned rest and vacation, with full sal
airy, from now until the beginning of
Lent"
Rev. Mr. Perry, jra will leave here
this morning in company with his
father, Rev. DR.. Perry, of Philadelphia,
who preached at the services at st,
Paurs yesterday. He will go to Phila-
delphia for a few days, after which he
will go south for a short vacation trip.

Y. Unfortunately it is very powerful

ity. Unfortunately 1t is very powerful
in France.
In conclusion DR.. Dwight said:
II have shown you the achievements
of France. How far has she fallen
away from her good motto? We see
liberty that is licensed to the side that
is up and tyranny to the side that is
down. The less said of equality and
fraternity the better, with these facts
before our eyes. On the other side we
see the church wronged, oppressed. in
suited, having yielded all for peace
sake that she can yield, now standing
calm and di@nifed. No need to ask
American Catholics which side they
will take. l ask whether any decent
man, be his religion what it may, can
hesitate for moment"
The resolutions adopted are as fol
lows
Whereas, BY an unwarrantable
breach of contract with the Holy See,
the French government is guilty Of an
act of International perfidy
Whereas, BY the confiscation of
property of which the church is the
rightful owner, and by the Reputation
of the states just debt to the church,
the government of France has acted in
defiance of common human rights;
Whereas, BY imposing these unjust
laws enacted by a government calling
itself republic are totally against the
free spirit of true democracy; therefore
be it
Resolved, First, that we citizens of
this true republic denounce as a gross
violation of international law this
breach of public faith of France with
tho holy sec,
Second, that we protest yehemently
against the robbery Of the church
property to which the state has no just
claim and against The arbitrary repu-
diation of the states just debt to the
church as fragrant violation of COM
mon human rights.
Third, that we denounce the whole
series of oppressive French legislation
against the church as a fierce and de-
fant persecution of Christianity.
Fourth, that as citizens of a true
republic which respects and defends
the rights Of conscience, we look with
horror upon this perversion of power
to-day exercised in France as utterly
unworthy of the name of democracy,
and characterize it as simple despotism
and tyranny.
Fifth, that we profess our profound
admiration of the stand taken by Plus
X. in defense Of the sacrednsss Of hui
man rights,
Sixth, that copy Of these resolu-
tons be sent to the president of the
United States.
