HORNETS PLAY TIE
GAME WITH THE
INDEPENDENTS

ALAMEDA, Dec. 16.-By far the most
exciting association football game
played on the Webster-street field this
season was played between the Hornets
and the Independents this afternoon.
1t ended in a draw, each side scoring
three goals. The Independents put up
stubborn and at times rough battle
and started out like winners, shooting
the sphere into the net twice in the
first half and keeping the ball for the
greater part of the time in the Hornets
territory. With the opening of the Sec
ond half the Hornets made an agrees
sive rally and soon had the game tied,
each eleven having two goals The
Hornets kept up their triumphant tao
tics, and it was not long before they
drove the sphere into the web for the
third time. Not to be outdone, the In
dependents came through with q goal
and for the second tome the score was
even. 1t remained this way until the
referee sounded his whistle announcing
the end of the game. Mclaughlin, Nc
Kenzie, Elliott and Scott performed
spectacular and scientific work for the
Hornets, while HigheN, Balmain and
Tom Fay scintillated for the Indepen-
dents. The goals for the Hornets were
scored by Mckenzie, Elliott land Scott.
Balmain, Cunningham and Tom Fay
drove the sphere whcre 1t counted for
the Independents. Arthur w. Wilding
refereed the contest, and F. R. Har-
wood and c. H. Mimic off1ciated as
linesmen. The teams were made up of
the following.
Observation-Disclosures. Waeber, Gore.
Mclaughlin. Meachin. Smith. Duncan.
Mckenzie, r. McRitchie, Elliott. Scott
MISUNDERSTANDING Anderson, Sou
ter, Highett, Duncanson, Mechels. Bal

PRESS VOICES PROTEST.
Tenor of Paris Journals Proves Their
sympathy for Church

PARIS, Dec. 16-In spite of all at
tempts to stir up a spirit of revolt the
Government is so far experiencing less
difficulty than 1t probably expected.
The majority of ecclesiastical dignita-
ries have left or are leaving the epis-
copal palaces without demur
Ecclesiastical seminaries are also
being vacated without disturbances. AS
may be imagined, the press devotes al
most its entire attention to the sub :
ject. A few extracts from leading
journals will show the general ten
dency of opinion in the different camps
The iGaulois (Royalist) says: I'VE

CATHOLICS ARE LOYAL CITIZENS
Rev. John s. Vaughn Says Church Asks
Only Fair Treatment

BOSTON, Dec. 1.-THE Right Rev.
John s. Vaughn of Rome, domestic
prelate of Pope Plus x, and guest In
Boston of Coadjutor Archbishop O'Con-
nell. gave a clear explanation OF the
position OF the Roman Catholic church
In the present. religious crisis In
France.
He declared. In effect. that the whole
trouble is due to the anti-Christlan
character of the French Government
which misses no opportunity TO strike
blow at the Christian religion; that SO
far from being enemies OF the repuo-
lie, Catholics. ii properly treated,
would be It's most loyal citizens: that
the choice offered by the recent nat OF
the French Government is a choice be-
tween God and man. and that every
true Catholic In such crisis Will at
any personal sacrifice array himself on
the side OF God.
In counseling. as he does. resistance
to the orders of the Government In this
instance. Monsignor Vaughn does not
lose sight of the fact that he Is coun-
selling disobedience to the law OF the
land. On the contrary. he meets this
issue fairly. boldly, declaring that
there is limit in the exercise OF civil
authority, and that when II goes to
the extent of ''trampling under foot the
rights of conscience and the laws OF
God, as in the present case then
obedience to il would be but another
name for perfidy and apostacy. to
which death itself is greatly TO be pre-
ferred"

AUTOMOBILE SHOW
MAY BE HELD IN
THIS CITY

The pleasant weather Of yesterday
brought out the automobilists in force
The park and the Preside were the
principal points visited. as the roads
leading out of the city, especially on
this side of the bay, were too muddy
for driving. The roads as far down as
the Bourteen-Mile House were in bad
condition, but below there the going
was fairly good.
An automobile show is likely to be
held here during January. A dealer in
terested in the proposed exhibition yes
terday said: we may not have as
many cars as were displaydl in New
York, but I think that we can make
as good a showing as Los Angeles
which intends holding a show. An ex-
hibition next year. however small
would be Of great advantage. Eastern
manufacturers are now turning their
attention to the coast and IL we hold
an exhibition they will make an effort
to be represented.
II am not looking at the show propo-
sition from a money-making point OF
view. for / don't think that it will be
a paying investment at first, but it will
educate the public"
Boushey Company said: There could
not be a better time than next year for
the holding of an exhibition. Many
Of us who are interested in the auto
mobile business would like to have a
little more time for preparation, but
we are all in the same boat and would
undoubtedly exhibit just what we have
on hand to assist the show. l think
that we can make very creditable
showing"
Van Zaut of tho firm, of Won zont
& Mcintyre, speciality dealers of this
city, said: From our standpoint il
would be interesting. We could make
display that would be pleasing to
the public There are many novelties
made for automobiles which never get
to the notice ofsthe general public A
show would give the people a chance
to see on what the motor enthusiast
spend his money

FALSE REPORTS DENIED
The Vatican Reiterates Its Statement
of Governments Vaccinations

The Vatican Refterates Its Statement
of Governments Vaccinations
ROME, Dec. IA communication
issued at the Vatican this evening re-
iterates the previous statement given
out as to the objects of the French
Government in the matter of the
archives in the nunciature at Paris aft
er the expulsion of Monsgnor Montag-
mini. The desire was to diffuse false
news in order to make the public be-
lieve that in the papers taken We're
low insinuations of money bargain
for the appointment of bishops, gam
bling on the Stock Exchange etc.
The statement repeats the Vatican's
original denunciation of the tactics
employed in securing the papers and
especially denounced what it terms eff
forts to make it appear due to the
negotiations of the Vatican that some
of the letters, which II says really
may have been received were such, 1t
Is declared, that may have been sent
on purpose to Monsignor Montagnini in
order to have a dossier in readiness
when a search was made,
With regard to the alleged arrange
ment with the Spanish ambassador at
Paris for the care of the archives of
the nunciature, the communication says
that neither the Vatican nor the Span
ish ambassador in the Vatican ever
thought of communicating with the
Spanish ambassador at Paris without
first entering into an agreement.
With regard TO the statement pub
lished in the National Zeitung of Ber-
lin. attributing to hitherto unpublished
portions of the memoirs of Prince
Hohenlohe the declaration that Pope
Leo XIII asked Emperor William for a
gift of 100000 the communicate ton is
declared to be absurd
