FORMAL CHARGES ARE ENTERED
Police Officers or Duty inside the

ports-French Bishops Bowed With
i Reluctance to the Papal Decree.

Paris Dec 13.--There was an i'm
pressive response this morning to the
clergy's appeal to the parishioners to
attend the first masses celebrated out
side the pale of the law. A corres-
pondent of the Associated Press visited
q dozen churches, including Notre
Dame, Des Victories and st. German
ND'auxerrois, where the signal for the
st. Bartholomew massacre was given;
st. Roch, Madelairle and ST, Augustine.
Everywhere it was the ssame story.
The front gates of the churches were
closed, but Catholics by the grey light
of dawn, were streaming thru the side
portals.
Formal Charges Entered.
The interiors of the buildings were
well filled. In several places there was
music, but nowhere was there the
slightest attempt to interfere with the
service or create 81 disturbance. Three
policemen were stationed outside the
porticos Of the churches, to prevent
any possible disorder, while police Of
ficers in plain clothes were on duty in
side, to note infractipns of the law,
taking the names Of thef officiating
priests and approx il1rating the number
OF those present, with the object of
making reports to the justices of po-
lice. Formal charges We're entered
wherever mass was celebrated, except
at churches whose parishioners made
the called-for application yesterday
evening, to hold services under the
law OF 1881. Early dispatches from the
departments say that wherever mass
was celebrated charges were drawn
up and summonses issued At a final
meeting last night of the diocesan
council here, it was. decided that neith-
er ecclesiastical residences nor semin-
aries should be abandoned, except be-
fore a show of force.
French Bishops' Attitude.
Il Is officially stated that letters Of
Monsignor Montagiiai, the expelled sec
retary Of the papal hunciature here
show the majority of French bishops
favored the observance of the law of
1881, and bowed with reluctance to the
papal decree. This statement adds
that the inviolability of the diplomatic
correspondence Of the nunciature was
scrupulously respected before the rup-
ture between the vatican and France.

Montacnin; confers With Pope.

Rome, Dec. 13.--Immediately after
his arrival here today Monsignor
Aontagnini, the expelled secretary o1
the papal nunciature at Paris, went to
the vatican and conferred with the
papal secretary of state, Merry del Val
He made long report on the situation
in France, especially in regard to the
documents seized at the Paris nl1ncia-
ture; several hundreds Of which deal
entirely with the Franco Vatican con-
flict, and will be especially interesting
to the French government as showing
it is asserted here, the differences of
opinion among the members against
the action of the French government
Afterwards Montagnini went to the
pope, who asked fol, minute details OF
the secretary's expulsion and the doc
uments seized. Montagnini expressed
the distress which he felt as the result
of his expulsion and presented to the
pontiff rather dark picture Of the sit
uation. saying he believed the present
French government will not be induc-
ed to change the attitude which it had
assumed toward the vatican.
