CALIFORNIA; CONTENTION.
California Says Keep Jap Question
Out of Congress.

California's contention in the Jap
anese question has been Incorporated
in a statement of facts to be submitted
for consideration in the action contem-
plated by the government to test the
states right to pass statutes separat-
ing Japanese attending public schools
from white pupils. The state law pro-
viding for the establishment of schools
for Indian, Monaghan and Chinese is
cited, and also the provision that I'M
til these schools are established the
children of races mentioned must not
be denied admission to regular schools.
The separate schools are to be con-
Quoted on the same plan as schools
for white children.
This statement, with other papers
in the case, has been forwarded to
Washington for the attorney generals
consideration.
In a general way, the terms upon
which the state wants the Japanese
question adjusted is summed up as fol-
lows:
The federal government to enact a
new treaty with Japan excluding Jap
anese coolie labor from the United
States and Hawaii and American labor
from Japan.
Japan contract labor importations to
cease.
Equality in public schools, with sep
arate schools for adult Japanese de-
string primary and grammar school
training.
A decision by the United States SUI
preme court on the states right to
pass provisions preventing amalgama-
ton Of races and other school laws.
The federal government to decide
the right to franchise for the Japan
csc, California suggesting only federal
cognizance of Japanese class distinc-
lions In passing the law.
Keep the question out Of the hands
of congress.

WRECK ON 0. R. & N.

Walla Walla, Wash, Dec. IA rear
end collision took place about O'Clock
Tuesday night on the Oregon Railway
and Navigation road at River View,
three miles east of Umatilla, in which
a brakeman, name unknown, was kill
ed, Conductor Joe" Boucher of Star
buck was probably fatally injured.
Brakeman Pearl Huston had foot
badly crushed, and Conductor w. f.
Davidson had his back sprained and
was slightly burned by being thrown
against the stove in the caboose.
Trian No. 81 was proceeding west
heavily laden, when extra train No.
1871, light, following. come upon it as
it rounded a sharp curve, with such
force that several cars were smashed
and piled up ON the track.
The wrecked cars caught fire, con-
Stunning four freight cars and the ca
boose. Conductor Boucher and the
brakeman were caught under the ca
boose, and by almost superhuman eff
forts of the trainmen were rescued be-
fore the flames overlook them. A spec
ial engine from Umatilla took the in
jured men to Pendleton for medical at
tenton, but it is feared that Conductor
Boucher will not survive.
The accident is said to be due to the
failure of the head train to send back
a fiagman, as it was moving slowly and
had just turned a sharp curve. The
engineer of the rear train was unable
to see the rear lights until it was toe
late to stop.
The head train was in charge of Cor
duotor 'Joe" Boucher and the real
train in charge of w. f. Davidson.

MOODY SCORES JUDGE.
Final Report of Attorney General Is
Right to the Point.

Attorney General Moody, in the last
report he will make to the president
before he goes on the supreme bench,
''roasts" the Kentucky judge who re-
Gently held the anti-blacklist law I'M
constitutional He uses this case and
the action Of the Chicago judge in the
beef trust case in support of his earn
est recommendation for the enactment
of law giving the United States the
right of appeal upon questions of law
in criminal cases with a proviso that
a verdict of acquittal upon the merits
shall not be set aside. In his reference
to the Kentucky case, he says: "Then
made the same decision. 1t is mon
strous that law that has received the
assent of the senate, the house and the
president can be nullifed by the opin-
ion of a single man not subject to re-
view by the court Of appeals and the
supreme court"
Of the immunity bath" decision in
the beef trust cases, the attorney gen
eral says: This ruling may be well
regarded as practical defeat of the
government upon the whole. 1t is
pointed out that while for 20 years
under the interstate commerce law of
1887 the fines amounted to a little
more than $4,000 that since October,
1905, under the Elkins antitrust law,
10 corporations and II persons
have been guilty of a total of n in
dictments, while SO are still pending.
The individuals have been sentenced
to fines ranging from $1,000 to $40, 1000
each. The total amount collected has
been $416,125.

Paris. Formal notice has been serv-
ed ON Cardinal Richard, archbishop of
Paris, and the bishops and parish
priests of this department, that they
must evacuate their residences right

ed to the mayors of the communes, ask
ing them to induce two Catholic lay
men from each parish to make the dec.
laration under the law of 1881 which
he pope has forbidden the parish
priests to make.
After a meeting of the cabinet min
listers it was announced that on Deem
Der IA Premier sClemenceau will ask
paprliament to suppress the pensions
of the clergy, to liquidate the kpublic
property of Catholics, and to distribute
the spresbyterie seminaries. .etc.s 1t

FRANCE IS ALARMED
RELIGIOUS CRISIS HAS FINAL
LY ARRIVED.
Pope Has Rejected the Governments
Offer Under Which the Catholic
Worship Could Be Continued Under
the Common Law-Government May
Take Harsh Measures.

Paris, Dec. 11.-France seems to
face an alarming religious crisis. The
pope's eleventh hour rejection of the
governments prefer under which
Catholic worship could be continued
under the common law turns out to be
only too true, and the deadlock now is
APPARENTLY complete. According to the
holy fathers orders, declarations un-
der the law of 1881 are prohibited, but
the parish priests must remain in their
churches until driven out by violence.
The official confirmation of this re-
port has created a sensation, both in
government and Catholic circles. Car
dinal Lecot, archbishop of Bordeaux
Archbishop German and others, who
had already advised compliance with
the law, have hastily instructed the
parish priests of their diocese that
their former advice is null and void,
and today in all the churches of Paris
bishops and priests after mass read
the letter from Cardinal Richard, arch
bishop of Paris, communicating the de-
cision of the holy see to continue SER
vices in the churches, but abstain from
any declaration, and Cardinal Rich
ards own instructions in view Of the
order issued by the project Of the
Seine yesterday, not to permit for the
present the employment of ceremonial
draperies at marriages or funerals.
The church wardens, whose legal
existence expires next Tuesday, were
thanked Sunday from the pulpits of the
various churches.
Prayers we're offered appealing for
the protection of God during the COM
ing period of persecution.
The government regards the action
of the pontiff as little less than a
summons of the French Catholics to
open rebellion, as rendering the situa-
ton exceedingly grave and possibly
entailing the most deplorable conse-
quences.
Premier Clemenceau and M. BRAND,
minister of public worship, were in
conference all day Sunday. There is
no sign of the government faltering,
but it is recognized they may be forced
to extreme measures.

act, she declared that she was glad to
know that Senator Brown might re-
cover.

to marry her, that she had been in
strumental in the divorce between her
husband and herself, and that as his
wife was dead, he could do the fright
thing" by her. This, she said, he re
fused to do.

years old and frail. Her first act after
being taken to the police station was
to send for Senator Sutherland Of Utah

Seattle, Dec. ia windstorm reach
ing he velocity of SO miles an hour, the
hiR hest ever recorded here, created
havoc along the water front and Lake
Washington early Tuesday morning.
The hulk of the old German steamship
Mariechen, lying at anchor in Seattle
harobr, started to drift, drawing the
mooring with her. Directly in the
path of the Mariechen lay the British
ship Marcen Josiah. Signal guns,
flares and rockets were fired from the
ship in the hope of attracting a tug be
fore the hulk collided with her. For
tunately for those on the ship the dir
ection of the wind suddenly changed
and the hulk escaped them. The Marie
chen then continued across the harobr
until she collided with the United
States army transport Dix. The trans
port escaped practically unframed.
A number of scows aleng the water
front were sunk by the gale. At Eagle
Habor, across the bay, the big sheds
of the Hall Brothers Marine Railway
and Shipbuilding company were blown
down. At Winslow, one hundred thous-
and feet of lumber went adrift in the
storm.
On Lake Washington. the principal
damage was to valuable houseboat
owned by J. H. Collins. When the
boat went adrift in the gale, seven per-
sons sleeping on it barely escaped with
their lives.

REMOVAL OF OF STORER
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT TELLS
why HE WAS REDUCED.
Claims His Action Was Justified Be.
cause the Ambassador Refused to
Answer His Letters and Published
Private OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES is
in Reply to Storer's Recent Expose.

Washington, Dec 11.-President
Roosevelt has made public long let
ter addressed to Secretary Root, Civ
ing correspondence between the presi-
dent and formed Ambassador Ballamy
Storer at Vienna, and Mrs. Storer, in
which he says that Mr.. Storer's refusal
to answer his letters and the publica-
ton of various private letters justified
the ambassadors removal; that Mr..
Storer's publication of private cores
pondence was peculiarly ungentleman-
ly and that he I.he president) had
sition, the reason why it was out of
the question for him, as president, to
get any archbishop made cardinal,
through expressing his admiration for
Archbishop ireland, as well as leaders
of other denominations.
The presidents action follows the
publication of confidential pamph-
let" which Mr.. Storer last week sent
to the president, the cabinet and the
senate and foreign relations commit
tee.
President Roosevelt requested the
Associated Press to say that no hint
or intimation of the Bellamy Storer
pamphlet containing the correspond
ence between the president and Mrs.
Storer was given out at Washington.
The former ambassador, the president
stated, not only sent his "open letter"
to members of the cabinet, but to at
least dozen members of the senate
and the house. He added that Mr..
Storer had no desire to keep the con-
tents of the pamphlet a secret, and
that undoubtedly it was his desire that
the letter find it's way into print.
