Los Angeles, CAL, Dec. 11.-Six
miners who were entombed at the
Edison Electric company's works in
Kern river canyon Friday morning
by a cave-in of the shaft in which
they were working, were alive at II
o'clock Monday morning. An old
miner, G. E. Moore, came from the
works late last night and stated posi-
lively that at II o'clock in the morn
ing signals of the miners code trans
ferred over the steel rails of the tram
way leading down the shaft, were ex-
changed between tn helpless miners
and a party of rescuers working from
the top of the shaft. Saving the lives
of the unfortunates, If they are not
dead already, is looked upon as next
to impossible. Three rescue parties
have been at work since Friday and
little or no progress has been made.
One party working through the shaft
from the bottom passed through one
cave-in bulwark, but were unable to
pass the second, beyond which the
miners are imprisoned.

Paris, Dec. 1.-THE law of associa-
tions, providing for the separation of
church and state in France formally
went into effect today. The climax of
the long and bitter warfare between
the republic and the Catholic church
has thus been reached. Contrary to
what might be expected, indications
are not lacking that the public dis
orders that have been provoked by the
strife between church and state will
now subside in measurable degree.
If such proves not to be the case the
onus will be placed upon the church,
as the government is unmistakably
disposed to leniency in the enforce
ment of the law.
The attitude of the government Is
evidenced by the instructions issued
by M. BRAND, minister of education
and public worship, to the projects as
to their conduct in enforcing the law.

FOR TRAIN WRECK|NG
Two Indiana Men. DO on Trial
Today to Answer Charge
of Murder.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Evansville, Ind, Dec. 11.-Great in
terest is manifested in the trial of
William Auberry and Shirley Erwin,
alleged train wreckers, which is set
to begin today in the Pike county cir
cult court. The men are charged with
first degree murder in three counts
as the result of the Southam railroad
wreck at Mauren, Pike county, on the
night of August Is last.
On the day of the wreck number
of miners boarded freight train for
Oakland City, and trouble developed
between them an dthe railroad ietec-
tives on the train, in which the miners
were worsted. At 3 o'clock the follow
ing morning freight train was wreck
ed by spiking switch, and the wreck
resulted in the killing of three of the
train crew and the destruction of
eighteen cars. The trainmen's asso-
Citations employed detectives, and a
month after the wreck Aubrey and
Erwin were arrested and charged with
the crime. The authorities claim they
have strong case of circumstantial
evidence against the men.

nized. The relations between the state
and the Roman Catholic church were
determined by the concordat in 1901
and the organic articles in 1902. The
relations between the state and Pro-
testants and Jews were determined by
different laws and DEGREES of the same
period. The ministers of these creeds
were paid by the state salaries, and
were in many respects dependent upon
the government. These relations are
now completely severed.
According to the law promulgated
just one year ago the churches are
separated from the state, the adherents
of all creeds may form associations
for public worship, and the state, the
departments and the communes are re-
lieved from payment of salaries.

all about the matter is fully aware
of the fact that no possible good is
accomplished by sending out ten mil

The action of grangers' and farmers
urging congress to cease the practice
will, it is believed, bear fruit this year.
and as a result the annual appro-
priation for this purpose will be diver
ted, it is hoped, to some useful purpose,
like the purchase of rare and valuable
new varieties to he tested at the ex-
pertinent stations and afterwards dis
tributed to localities for which they
are especially adapted.

French Government is facing the sit

though the prospect of the religious
crisis becoming acute has been aug

clerical organ that the pope forbids
Catholics to abide by the public meet

and dispose of moneys taken in actual
collections at such meetings, but all
other contributions and incomes will
belong to the state. Cures will be
merely occupants without legal title

other properties will be handed over to
the associations if they are formed
within a year If taken then by the
state they will still retain their prev
ious character until contrary de-
cision is announced.
The going into effect Of the law of
associations marks an epoch in the
history of the French republic. 1t

recognized by the state. Up to jan

Washington, D. c., Dec. 11.-Once
more an effort is to be made to
induce congress to abandon the
practice of distributing each year
few million packages of compare
lively worthless seeds. On Wednes-
day next the house committee on agri-
culture will hear all who are interested
in the subject and VINO choose to come
to Washington for the purpose of ex-
pressing their views. OF course the
principal speakers against the "free
seed" distribution will be the repre-
sentative seedsmen of the country.
But on the other hand there has
been a great awakening among the
farmers from Maine to Oregon, and
during the past few months hundreds
of local, county and state grangers
have expressed themselves as opposed

Free Seed Distribution Soon To Cease

practice Of distributing annually tons
of the commonest kinds of garden and
field seeds.
When congress first provided for the
distribution of seeds among the rural
constituents of the members it was
with the idea of testing new, rare and
valuable" varieties. And then the idea
was good one. But the original pur-
pose of the seed distribution was long
abandoned, and for score of years
the sole object, apparently, has been
to give each senator and representa-
tive just as many packages as possible.
1t is true that in recent years the agri-
cultural department has succeeded in
introducing valuable varieties of sugar
beets, Kaffir corn, Macaroni wheat and
some other agricultural products. But
this has been done through the agri-
cultural experiment stations, and not
through the indiscriminate parcelling
out of the quotas" of such seeds as

CARSON'S ANNUAL REPORT.

CAKSON'S ANNUAL kEPOkT.
Associated Press to The Evening" Times.
Washington, Dec. 1.-THE results
Of the first years efforts of the govern
ment directly to promote American ex-
port trade in manufactured goods are
portrayed in the annual report Of
Maj. John M. Carson, chief of the
bureau Of manufactures in the depart
ment of commerce and labor. The re-
port says in part:
"The entire value of shipments of
cotton piece goods from the United
States to South America for the past
fiscal year was $3,244,567, while the
shipments of Great Britain for the six
months ended June 80 last were valued
at nearly $1S,OO0,O00, and for ten
months ended October 6, 1906, nearly
$32,O00,000 worth of cotton piece goods,
or twice as much as the United States
sold for the entire past fiscal year
to all South America. The entire trade
of the United States with South Am
erican countries for the fiscal year
was $140,422,S76 in imports, and $751;
159,7S1 in exports, total of $216400,-
900.
England dominates in the COM
merce of South America, followed by
Germany. Neglect of the South Ameri-
can markets by American manufac-
turers and merchants, lack of direct
steamship communication and absence
of banking facilities are contributary
causes to this condition, and until
these are overcome the trade with
the countries OF South America will
continue to be relatively of slow
growth"
The report says an increase of nearly
80 per cent. in the value of manufac-
tured products in the last five years is
a forceful reminder of the urgent ne
cessity for immediate and organized
effort to find foreign markets for an
output which already in many lines
of industry largely exceeds home de-
mands and is in itself an urgent appeal
for the fostering care of the congress.
The report urges American business
men to send to foreign fields personal
representatives, specially trained for
the service, to remain permanently in
the country, and to establish and main
tain agencies and branches.

San Francisco, Dec. 11.-Fifteen
citizens have formed a corporation to
be known as the Pacific Ocean Exposi-

mammoth fair in 1913, to commemor-
ate the 40Oth anniversary of the dis
covery of the Pacific ocean by Bal

canal. The joining of two ideas by the
promoters seemed especially appro-
pirate, since it was after crossing the
isthmus that the navigator first looked
upon the Pacific.

barreled stock costs the German dealer
SA to 9 cents per pound. That price
includes the German tariff, which is
about Az cents per pound. But after
the cost of packages, freights, prepar-
alton, and handling is deducted there
is left for the packer only about one
cent per pound for the meat itself
This means that the stock grower can
get practically nothing for his low
grade animals, and this is one of the
reasons why the stock growers are so
deeply interested in the negotiations
now pending for reciprocal arrange
ment with Germany which will afford
