Whereas, We view with exceeding
regret and indignation the action by
which the Catholic church in France ia
to be deprived of about $4,000 Of it's
churches, episcopal and parochial resi-
dences, clerical seminaries and other
church property; and,
Whereas, The feeling is accentuated
by the fact that Catholic France, in the
beginning Of our history and at all
times since, has been the staunch friend
of the American republic; and.
Whereas, We learn from the most
authoritative sources that for many
years the Catholic church has been per
secuted by the French government and
| is being slowly cut surely deprived Of
its property and the rights which be-
long to free people; and,
Whereas, The public utterances Of
several of the leading statesmen of
France indicate desire to strike ait
the very root Of Christianity and are
thus a serious menace to Christian civ
ilization therefore, be it
Resolved, That we, citizens Of
Washington, the capital Of the Ameri-
can republic, Of various religious de-
nominations, assembled in mass meet
ing, vehemently condemn the action Of
the French government in the unjust
conf1scation Of the entire property of
the Catholic church in France. and, as
liberty-loving people, we denounce
such conduct as hostile to the freedom

RoCKEFELLtR,S OPINION
He Discusses Subject of Capitalization
in Business.

New York, Dec. 30.--Discussing to-day
the subject of Capitalization In busi-
ness, John ID Rockefeller said
ut is natural that a man who drove
the stage coach should be antagonistic
to the railroad and that the man who
used to keep the small inn should look
with disfavor upon the big magnificent
hotels. But it was progress; it had to
come, and for while it was hard
ship for these men to adapt themselves
to the new conditions. They had my
sympathy, I assure yous but we all
must continually meet new conditions
and adapt ourselves to them. 1t can't
be otherwise.
"Of course, I am sorry that 1 am so
misunderstood, but have the best feel
ings for everybody. / bear i'll will to
no one, and it is great thing to think
that is so by the grace of God"

AKED ACCEPTS THE CALL
NOTED BRITISH PASTOR WILL
COME TO THIS COUNTRY,

In Communication to His Liverpool Pa
rishioners He Makes Known His De-
cisiOn to Take Up Work of Fifth
Avenue Baptist Church of New York
Declares When Facts Are known 1t
VIII be Seen That Church is Not One
of Millionaires.
Liverpool, Dec. SO.-At a meeting of
Pembroke chapel tonight written
communication from Rev. Charles F.
Aked, the pastor, was read to the effect
that, after long and anxious considera
ton, he had decided to accept the call
to the Fifth Avenue Baptist church of
New York, and he therefore placed his
resignation in their hands Since re-
cent illness the work at Pembroke chap
ell, DR.. Aked said, had been too heavy
for him, and he was satisfied that he
could do better work for God and for
man than he had yet done, and that a
larger and fuller service was open to
him in a different climate and amidst
more favorable surroundings. But for
the breakdown Dr. Al1ed said that he
should not have dreamed of leaving
Liverpool.
The Fifth Avenue church of New
York had been described in this coun-
try as a church of millionaires, DR.
Aked continued, and the people here
had begun to ask how any man with
his record of democratic sympathies
and struggles could accept such pas
torate without betrayal of his con-
victions These fears, he declared, were
grounded upon a total misapprehension
of the nature of the church and of the
character of its individual membership,
and when they should come to know
the facts as to the situation there they
would not regret in their minds that he
had elected to make his home with
these people. Dr. Aked said that he
would not leave Liverpool before next
March.
The Associated Press heye learns that
during the past week DR.. Aked receiv-
ed several cablegrams from prominent
members Of the Fifth avenue church in
New York urging his acceptance of the
call. John d. Rockefeller, it Is said,
cabled DR.. Aked assuring him free
hand" in his work. and Rev. Hugh
Black, former minister Of St. George s
Free church, Edinburgh, who is now in
New York, cabled that America needed
him even more than England.

COLLISION NEAR HARTFORD
BOston-New York Express Hits Rear of
Freight Train.

Hartford, Dec, 9O-The first section
OF the Boston to New York passenger
express train tonight ran into the
rear of a slowly moving freight train
after having gone mile from the city.
1t is supposed that the passenger en-
gineer saw the train ahead in time to
reverse the lever as the express struck
the freight at a reduced speed. The
collision, however, caused the over
turning of a lighted stove in the ca
boose of the freight. which set fire to
the caboose and the rear freight car,
both being burned Two men were in
the caboose but got out safely and no
one was injured. The engineer ON the
passenger was w. B. Hurst. Investi-
cation has not yet determined the rea-
son for the accident, but it is thought
the passenger may have run by sig
nal. The tracks were blocked for two
h-uGs.

It is said that Ex-Governor Mcbride has
captured the Republican organization in
Skagit county and will make himself felt
in politics this year. This is not at all sur
prising. Gov. Mcbride is one of the most
forceful men in the state. He is born
fighter, one who ever had something worth
fighting for and who never wasted his time
combating windmills. In other words, he
fought for principle and his re-entry into
politics is matter of congratulation to the
state. .-Reville

INSANES OR CRIMINALS

There seems to be an epidemic of insane
murderers extending from New York to
Seattle, which must be result of the ex-
cessive as we'll as the unusual beat prevail
ing from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Some
twenty odd years ago in some of the ex-
treme Southern states, where the climate
is pretty nearly always as mild and balmy
as is that of Italy, there came an extreme
ly cold winter, and as low down as New
Orleans the lakes and lagoons froze thick
enough for persons to skate upon. The
weather would occasionally moderate, only
to rain and freeze up again. When the
thaw did finally come and spring made it's
appearance, the temperature almost in
day jumped from cold to hot an epedemic
of hydrophobia among the cattle and dogs
soon became prevelant. Cows that had
been gentle as lambs would attack man and
beast, and dogs acted in similar manner.
AS a result some of the most valuable ami
mails had to be Killed Dy their owners.
Scientists declared that the prevalence
of so unprecedented number of hydro
phobia cases was due wholly to the eX-
cessive cold weather throughout the winter
followed by extreme heat in the early
spring.
Perhaps the people of Seattle are SINH
larly affected, for. they have experienced
long and severe winter, followed by a
hot summer. If the trouble is not due
to the aforesaid causes, then the Anglo
Saxon is showing dangerous symptoms of
either drifting into an alarming state of vi
olent insanity or vicious criminality.
