France Faces a Situation of Ex-
treme Gravity.
The Catholics of the Country
Are in Rebellion.
BACKED By THE POPE.
Plan to Overthrow the Republic
Is Suspected.
Police to Invade Churches and
Expel the Priests.

Paris, Dec 10.-The Press today un-
animously recognizes the extreme grav-
fty of the religious issue precipitated
by the pope's intransigeant attitude and
many papers predict veritable re-
ligious warfare. The government cal
culations have clearly been upset and
new executive authority may be neces-
sary to enable it to cope with the situ-
alton. It having been decided that af-
ter tomorrow religious services may not
be held without a preliminary declara-
ton under the law of 1881. the pope's
orders entail the immediate initiation
of prosecutions in $4,000 communes and,
logically, the invasion of churches by
the police for the purpose of pronounc-
ing their dissolution and expelling the
parish priests. The militant Catholics
seemingly hail with joy the prospect Of
violence which will compel the closing
of the churches.
M. Jaures, the socialist leader, pro-
fesses to believe that the vatican has
deliberately determined to test the
strength OF the party of reaction in an
effort to overthrow the republic The
socialist organizations generally, how
being the result of the governments
weakness in offering any concession be-
yond the formation of the cultural as
sOciatiOn contemplated under the law
of 1905 and declare that the govern
ment now has no alternative, except to
insist on the required declarations be-
ing made or show the ecclesiastics the
door. The conservative papers advise
the government to remain true to its
liberal principles, contending that the
more the church is intolerant and panic
stricken the more authority it win need,
provided the government does not lose
its head The government has made
preparations to cope With the situation
but is keeping them secret. evidently
waiting to see whether any consider
able proportion of the clergy will re-
volt. The cabinet, however. maintains
a resolute front.
Instructions to the public prosecutors
were teIegraphed broadcast today.
Premier Clemencau is quoted as say
ing:
will have it; but she woEld will bear
witness that the vatican is like a for
eign power trying to dispute the auth
ority of the French government"
NJ. BRAND, minister of public wor-
ship, says he thinks the pope yielded to
the opportunities of the Ultramontaines
who are ever possessed with the mad
idea that out of disorder and civil war
they viii emerge triumphant The
government now does not face a revolt
of the consciences of French Catholics
but a purely political enterprise

whom bears his name, and that he
had repeatedly pledged himselg to make

shot him because he had broken every
promise made to her and deserted her
in her darkest hour.
Tracking Senator Brown across the
continent with less than a dollar in her
pocketbook, revolver in her coat pock-

have final understanding with the

Chicago. Dec. 1O.=The fight Of the
Standard Oil company against the 1G
indictments against the Standard oil
company of Indiana which were re-
turned August %, was commenced to-
day in the United States district court
before Judge lands. The indictments
contain 6,42S counts and the Standard
oil company has entered a demurrer.
It IS upon the latter that the proceed

their demurrer that section 10 of the

the government is bringing the action
against the company. and that the in

of Toledo, Ohio, who is the representa-
tive of a company which builds canning

Samuel Barnes, who for the past
twenty years has been a resident OF
Topeka, died at 1173 Fillmore street,
the home Of his son. Elmer Barnes, at
O'Clock this morning after an illness
which has made him an invalid for
the past year. Though in poor health
for some time past his death was un-
expected and was the result of a cere-
bral hemorrhage which occurred last
Saturday. Since that time he has been
growing gradually weaker until the
time of his death this morning
Last week he fled a divorce suit
against mis- wife whom he married less
than a year ago and the petition con-
tanned a number of sensational alle-
cations among them one to the effect
that he has been slowly poisoned by
strychnine which was being admins
tered secretly. There were two coun-
ter suits filed by his wife, in one OF
them she asked for $1,000 damages
from the sons Of the deceased for
alternating the affections OF her hus-
band.
The coroner and county attorney
have been in consultation regarding
the case, and while it is claimed that
no inquest has been held they have
visited the Barnes home and it is like
" that some action will be taken by
one or both of them looking towards
the proving or refuting of the allega-
tions of the divorce petition.
Relatives of the late Mr.. Barnes say
that no inquest will be held, and that
there is no disposition to investigate
the alleged poisoning

county, Ohio, May 81 1850. We was ed
ucated in private schools and attended

ed to Jefferson county, Kan. in March
1870 and for many years was one of the
proprietors Of the Barnes & Haynes
Mercantile company at Medina. He
was then engaged for three years in
the mercantile business in Carbondale
and came to Topeka in 1887 where he
has been engaged in the real estate
business ever since. His sons Harry E.
and F. R.. have been associated with
him in this business as firm members
since 1899.
Mr.. Barnes was married a second
time about year ago to Mrs. Mary
Richardson. The marriage was op
posed by Mr. Barnes sons, and proved
to be an unhappy one. Mr.. Barnes
was not living with his wife at the
time of his death.
1t is said that a post mortem exami-
nation of the body of Mr. Barnes shows
that the death was not due to a cerebral
hemorrhage. but to other causes No
