THE CATHOLIC SIDE OE II.

While the average thinking Ameri-
can citizen is unalterably opposed to
any interference by any church Of any
denomination in governmental affairs,
there are many who look upon the
French separation act as of extreme
severity and whose sympathies are
4 aroused by the plight of the French
Catholic clergy. The property con-
t-clled by the Catholic church in
France amounts to about s100000,000
i IN churches, schools. colleges semin-
aries. hospitals and the like. This has
heen entirely controlled and admia!s-.
sered by the officials OF the church sud
-. ne objections raised by them against
+ the law ousting these from its manages
E,pnt and ownership are very natural.
Archbishop John M. Farley, of New
Yo.k. explains in a public statement
tile church side Of the contenti11 In
order to understand the Catholic
h clergv's refusal to comply with the orr
T tlers Of the government he explains that
The statute demands the consent .; tho
church and Of its ministers to the
alienation Of all the properly that has
been bequeathed and donated them for
religious and philarthropic purposes. It
Is property, he says, which they do not
derive from the, government, but Of
which they are merely trustees.
Archbishop Farley illustrates thus:
The situation created by the new law
OF separation, Is as If, for instance, the
4 Legislature of New York were to enact
laws compelling the trustees OF the
Trinity church corporation under PEN
atty OF confiscation, to give consent to
y the alienation of all it's vast property
Z to other uses than those for which it
was intended, and to transfer it's adj
rninistration and control to people who
s might either belong to rival denom-
nations, or even profess atheism. 1t is
as IL the legislature Of New York were

flscatfon of its property to consent to
the transfer of the. management and

and other institutions to associations in

ilia politicians. interfere to any kind of
religious belief, were in the majority.
Resistance to organized law is not
con fined to France or to one denomina-
! ton. This country has been free from
church interference with government
and government interference with re-
ltgions. However, we are not lacking
\ in resistance of class resistance to law.
In Iowa enforcement of liquor laws has
brought on riot and will again. 1t is
not astonishing that the Catholic
clergy of France should refuse and the
great mass of Catholic communicates
resist the edict. Nevertheless there is
but one end to the struggle which will
be to a finish. The pope's order of
passive resistance has left the govern
ment no choice. It must be greater or
less than the pope in France.

SEWER SYSTEM FOR OXNARD
Large Septic Tank Now Is Being
Built on Outskirts
of the City
Special to The Herald.

special to The Herald.
OXNARD, March 2.-OXnard is soon
to have one of the most complete and
up-to-date sewer systems on the coast.
A large septic tank is being built just
south of the city, in which all the
sewage will be consumed, the water
passing on to the ocean through
large pipe.
The tank is about seventy-fve feet
long and forty feet wide. Cross walls
will be built every twelve feet, with
an opening in each wall, at opposite
ends. The sewage will enter the tank
at the north end and the outlet will
be at the south. 1t will be obliged to
travel a distance of 1000 feet back and
forth between the walls, through
which distance it is claimed every par
ticle of refuse matter will be con-
sumed by means of germ, created
by the use of certain chemicals. BY
the time the water has reached the
outlet, it is claimed it will be perfectly
free from color or odor. The system is
so arranged that the sewage can be
sent right on to the ocean without go
ing through the septic tank If it is de-
sired.

CHARGE CHANGED TO ASSAULT
Negro Who Attempts Murder Gets
Off With a Nominal
Special to The Herald.


SAN PEDRO, March 2.-The case of
the state against Steve OLeary. the
negro charged with attempted murder
ON board the ship Lottie Bennett last
Sunday, was changed today to one of
simple assault because the man who
was stabbed would not testify against
the prisoner The negro pleaded guilty
and received a nominal fine.
At the town of Win gton tomorrow
afternoon there will be a big demon
stration and an effort to raise suf-
fiCient money to dredge out a channel
wide enough for boats to pass up to
the little city. In olden times there
was such a channel. but it has filled up
with mud until today it is almost dry
land at low tide.
Figures have been obtained from ex-
perts on the question, and it is esti
mated that a sufficient channel can
be dredged out for $4,000. This will be
raised by private subscription if pos
sibe. But little trouble is anticipated
in raising the sum required, one firm
having signifed its willingness to give
third of the amount.
The bottom of the bay along there is
very soft, and it will not take long to
do the work.
A party of ladies picnicking at
Whites Point today had the adven-
ture of their lives. The tide was out
and several of the ladies went down
the steep cliffs to the rocks below to
look for shells and Gbalones, when
suddenly one of them saw a large
shark coming their way as fast as it
could travel.

Much discussion has been aroused
relative to fraternities in Pomona col

acute stage by the action of the fresh
man class in asking for the resignation
of C. o. Reed and Hanley Chapman,
who recently were initiated into the
Kappa Delta. The freshmen claim
these men have not kept an agreement
not to enter. The designations were
refused and efforts now are being
made to force the men out of the
class. The faculty will probably take
no action in the matter.

CANS TO BEGIN TRAINING

Joe Cans the dusky lightweight
champion of the world, arrived in Los
Angeles yesterday and is seeking quar-
ters where he may begin training for
his scrap with Mike Twin Sullivan
which is scheduled for March 16.
Cans says he is in tip-top condition
and his appearance indicates that he
will not require any great amount of
eXertion to get in trim for his battle.
This affair will be the third between
these two welterweights, as they will
battle at 142 pounds and upon the same
conditions that governed their meeting
in Frisco several weeks ago, when
Cans knocked out Mike, and the result
will, if decisive, be a settlement of
the quibbling as to who is who in the
welterweight division.
Sullivan recently challenged Cans
through The Herald for return match.
but Cans refused to meet him at more
than 133 pounds ringside and negotia-
tions were dropped until Cans and
Britt disagreed so strenuously that the
dusky boy from Baltimore gave more
consideration to Sullivans request for
a return match.
Morris Levy will conduct the affair
at Chutes park and the event will be
the initial performance under the aus
pices of the new boxing club organ
lied by the Frisco fight promoter.
Alfy King has taken charge of Cans
and said last night that he expected
to secure training quarters for the
champion near Eastlake park. If ar
rangements are concluded today, Cans
will begin training Immediately. King
and Cans are turning deaf ears to
propositions to train on the ocean side,
and a location in or around Los An
geles will be selected.

STANFORD MEN MAY COME
Team May Be Induced to Meet VIM
ners of Quadrangle Contests on
Occidental Oval This Month

Coach Holmes of University of
Southern California is at the head of
movement to bring the Stanford
track team to Los Angeles to meet the
point winners in the quadrangle meet
to be held on the Occidental oval
March "a between the teams of Occi-
dental, University of Southern Cali
fornia, Pomona and st. Vincent's.
At a conference held with Manager
Barrett of the Stanford student body
during his recent visit to Southern
California, Holmes arranged to bring
the point winners in Stanfords inter
class field day to compete with the
first, second, third and fourth place
men of the quadrangle meet on the U.
S. G.. oval March 81.
Holmes has succeeded in getting the
funds necessary for the enterprise
from members of the L. S. C. student
body. and nothing stands in the way
of the meet. The reason that none of
the other colleges is pledged for
money is that the arrangements for the
meet were made at time when fric-
tion existed between the various in
stitutions.
From the showing made in the early
tryouts at U. S. c., st. Vincent's and
Occidental Stanford will have to
Hagerman of Occidental has already
broken the coast record in the broad
jump this year and has tied his own
and the U. S. C. records in two other
events.
Miller of Stanford, who is considered
to be the best miller and half miller on
the coast will find himself pitted
against Chaplin of Princeton in the
mile and against Breutkreutz of Wis
consin in the half mile.
To beat Chaplin in the first event will
require all Millers strength and it is
doubtful whether he will have enough
speed left to best Breutkreutz in the
half.
The oval at U. S. C. is the fastest in
the south. and the Southern California
records in field and track events
should go glimmering.
An interesting feature of the L. s.
C. oval is that part of the new build
ing of the university arches over the
course used in the mile, the half, the
two mile and the quarter, so that for
a stretch of two hundred yards the
racers are hidden from the grand
stands, adding an element of eXpec-
fancy to already exciting races.

CROP OUTLOOK IN VENTURA
Ranchers Say That Conditions in the
County Seldom Have
Been Beaten
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
VENTURA, March at is esti-
mated by old settlers and farmers that
there never has been a time in the last
fifteen years when the entire county
was in such fine condition for a crop
as at present. The rain, which has
amounted to about ten inches, has
come so gradually that the soil is
thoroughly soaked. Ranchers assert
that there is more activity shown
among the farmers generally than in
any previous year. Every acre of
available land is being ploughed and
cultivated.
Officials of the Oxnard sugar factory
state that more than $1,000 acres of
beets have been contracted for and
that the indications are it will be i'm
possible to procure enough cars to
carry the crop.
The present price of lima beans has
induced farmers to plant heavily this
season.

Expect Announcement Soon

There were no further developments
today as to the Tumored endowment
of $4,000 600 for the Women's college
No person connected with the projected
institution could be found who will
either deny or confirm the statement
that eastern moneyed men have prom
ised to provide this great endowment.
One person, however, who is under
stood to be fully conversant with the
matter in hand, but whose name cam
not be given now, stated today that
there is good foundation for the rumor
and goes on to say that within the
next week or ten days the board of
permanent trustees of the college will
very likely make an important an
nouncement along the line of the ex-
pected endowment. 1t is well known
that from the very inception of the
plan for women's college in South
ern California it was believed that
abundant money would be provided at
the proper time. With the magnificent
site chosen and provision made for the
first buildings needed it looks as
though the proper time for the an
nouncing of the endowment has ar
rived. With an endowment of S. 600, 900
or $6,000000 the institution will be able
with wise discretion to equal any one
of the four or five really great women s
colleges of the country.
