New York, Dec. 15.-With the with
drawal Of the application for a writ
of error in the United States supreme
court the legal fight to save Albert T,
Patrick came to an end after the hard
est fought battle in the criminal rec
ords OF the country.
It now remains to apply to Governor
Higgins for communication of SEN

of the determination of Patrick him
self to accept nothing save pardon,
announced only a few days ago by
himself from his cell in Sing Sing
prison, such an application designed
merely to save his life, it is stated,
will be made within a few days.
Mrs. Patrick and Patrick's sister,
Mrs. Milliken of st. Louis, will be the
petitioners as the nearest relatives of
the condemned man. Governor Hig-

NO DISORDERS LIKELY.
Public Interest In French Controversy
Decreases.

Decreases.
Paris, Dec. 15.-The first day of the
regime of the separation of church
and state having passed without grave
disorders public interest in the de-
tails of the continuation of the struggle
is already visibly Tagging. 1t is now
apparent that the resistance of the
clergy will be purely passive and that
there is no prospect of religious pas
sions being aroused unless the church
es are closed and the government,
therefore, is resting on its oars and
will continue to do so until parliament
authorizes the drastic measures which
the cabinet is preparing. In the mean
time in this city, except in the church
es where legal applications were filed,
the police again took notes of infrac-
lions of the law at the morning
masses.
Cardinal Richard is awaiting expul-
sion from the episcopal mansion. The
government, however, desires to avoid
even the appearance of force in the
case of the aged primate, who is in
bad health, and is postponing action
in the hope that he will depart in a
few days of his own volition.
The Action, violent Socialist or.
gan, has made an attack on the gov
eminent, calling attention to the al
legged fact that the Catholic gymnastic
societies had numbers of rifles. There
Is not the slightest evidence, however,
that armed resistance is contemplated.

SHAW At CURRENCY HEARING.
Says Bankers Plan Is Inadequate to
,. Meet Requirements.

Washington, Dec. 15.-Secretary
Shaw appeared before the house COM
mittee on banking and currency in
advocacy of a high taxed credit cur
rency, suggesting S per cent as a de-
sirable rate. He emphasized the need
for great elasticity in currency, but
expressed the opinion that the plan
framed by the American Bankers as
ISOLATION will not bring about sufficient
elasticity to be very useful. Granting
that the bankers plan results in the
issuance of $200,000,000 additional in
national bank notes Mr.. Shaw said
that in his opinion not more than
s20,000,O00 worth of these will be re-
deemed. ~ &.e r
Mr. Shaw thought the bankers plan
was wholly inadequate to meet the
requirements of the commercial world
and said it was encountered with too.
much machinery for the limited good
results he feels it is capable of accom-
plishing. He said he did not want to
be regarded as an opponent of the
measure suggested by the bankers,
because he felt that any step toward
relieving the demand for greater elias
ITCHY at certain seasons of the year
was desirable, but he argued that the
committee strive to frame a more eff
fective measure.
1t was urged by the secretary that
an effort should be made to make all
our currency more elastic rather than
to impart elasticity to certain
amount of emergency currency I'm
! der the bankers plan, he said, only
the credit currency which goes into
national banks would be on its way to
redemption. There would be no rea
son why private banks should seek the
redemption of national bank notes and
consequently they would make no ef
! fort to do SO.

CHURCH LAWS. .-~.+ss,|-.
IMMEDIATE CoAFIsCATlox PROPOSED
STEPS TO BE TAKEN BY GOVERN
MENT OF A MOST SWEEPING
CHARACTER. "a.

Paris, Dec. 15.-The cabinet met
during the day with President Fal-
Heres in the chair In order to decide
upon the new legislation to be pre-
scented to parliament. The steps to be
taken are of a very sweeping charac-
ter. It is proposed to amend the law
of 1905 providing for the separation Of
church and state, but on which years
grace was allowed before the per.
manent alienation of the church prop.
erty, and to suppress the privilege Of
forming new cultural or diocesan as.
sociations during that period, and all
church property, including the sem.
inaries, will be Immediately handed
over to the state, to the departments
and to the communes under conditions
insuring that the churches themselves
will be retained for religious uses.
The continuance Of public worship will
be provided for under a combination
of the laws of 1881 and 1901. With
regard to the pensions and allow
ances of the clergy distinctions will
be made by which those who are en-
titled to the former will lose theil
rights if they are deprived of theil
French citizenship, while those who
are entitled to the latter will lose
their allowances if they do not con
form with the law. The conditions
under which the clergy will forfeit
their French citizenship will be drawn
up in a special measure to be pre-
pared later 5Asr = 4
