where"
M. Brunetiere's idea is that to ignore the
reality of the pope's authority is a policy
evitable, because 1t Is in the nature OIL
things.
NJ. Brunetiere was asked whether he
meant only an eventuality Of Cancellation.
with war intervening. He protested that
war is a big word. He fancied that more
or less long period of friction and of pin
pricking on both sides might intervene, but
on the whole he believed that peace was
not very far ahead. He made the signih-
cant remark that 'the majority Of us Cath
olics and the majority of free thinkers in
France alike stand for peace"
M. Brunetiere was asked how cancellation
In practice could be brought about. M.
Brunetiere looked to the common law of
the country for an answer. and in partic-
ular to the law of 1901, regular ng all asso-
Citations of whatsoever kind.
He held that if Catholics took their stand
on common law their petition was unas-
sailable.
The government might say, I'VE have
maded a law specially for you." but could
not add, land if you do not avail your
selves Of it you may avail yourselves or no
other.
Catholics and Associations.
Nothing could prevent Catholics from
forming associations under common law,
like any labor syndicate or trade union.
That was an inexpungable right.
M. Brunetiere was asked whether devo-
luton of church property to such asso-
Citations would be possible. He said he be-
lieved that such associations would simply
rent the churches from the government.
The latter would never close the churches,
he was absolutely persuaded. The posi-
bility of Notre Dame being forcibly shut
up and guarded by troops or Of priests be-
ing arrested for saying mass was COM
pletely urthinkable. M. Brunetiere sum-
med up his view by saying that in the
first place the associations of worship of
the 1905 act and the canonical and legal
associations proposed by the French bsh
ops conference in May last having been
alike condemned by the pope, no Catholic
could now even return to the subject. This
disposes of the supplication published
some time ago, which M. Brunetiere de-
scribed as savoring of professionalism, and
believed to have been written "by some
of those Catholics who were Dreyfusards."
But in default of such associations of
either kind Catholics could and would look
to associations on the lines of any trade
unions under the law of 1901 He believed
that such was the modus vivendi which
would be agreed upon M. Brunetieres
policy opens up new hope of Cancellation.
That the Catholic "syndicates'' will be
perfectly legal there can be no doubt. That
the state and communes VIII lease the
churches to them NJ. Brunetiere believes.
The scheme sounds promising and prac-
teal. But whether the government will

HI. Clay Pierce. chairman Of the board of d.
rectors, for $4,000. which Gruet claims is
due him as back salary. The case was
continued until next week in order to Sc
cure additional witnesses.
Mr.. Pierce testified that he had obtained
Gruet from the Standard Oil offices in New

had rendered the Waters-Pierce Company
valuable services during long term OF
years. In February, 1905. Gruet was drop
ped from the company and later appealed

Pierce, Mr.. Gruet came to see me in New
York. told Mr.. Gruet that the affairs Of
the Tennessee Central Railway Company,
OF tne tennessee CONSTRUCTION company, OF
Of the Briar Hill collieries and the Cumber-
land Coal Company required investigation,
and. as I had placed my interests in these
matters in the hands of Senator Bailey Of
Texas. with power Of attorney from me to
handle them as he saw At, I wished Mr..
Gruet to place himself at the disposal OF
Senator Bailey and make such investigation
into the interests mentioned as Senator
Bailey desired.
Mr.. Gruet readily assented to my sug-
gestion and returned to st. Louis within a
day or two. where he met Senator Bailey
and received instructions from Senator
Bailey in regard to the investigati zion which
Senator Bailey desired made at Nashville,
Tenn, which was the headquarters Of all
these companies.
Mr.. Gruet went over to Nashville under
instructions from Senator Bailey and re-
manned there some time.

Mr.. Pierce went on to explain that Gruet
put in several months in Nashville, making
Investigations under the direction of Sena-
tor Bailey, and then went to New York to
make report to Pierce. Mr.. Pierce contin-
ued: Senator Bailey expressed the opinion
that Gruet's examinations at Nashville had
been without vaiue; that he hid simply
copied the accounts instead Of Investigating
and checking them UP as he was sent there
to do, and the reports were of no value: ne
had simply repeated the statements he had
copied from the books and the work of sub
sequent auditors put upon the work proved
that Senator Bailey's Impressions were cor
rect and that Gruet had simply gone to
Nashville and copied the books and came
back here and came to New York, and he
did not even turn in his report.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
MADRID, September 15.-Grave questions
of church and state have arisen between
Spain and the holy see. For the past few
years Spain and France have been drawing
closer together and the struggle between
the Catholics and the French government
has exercised a deep influence upon Spanish
opinion. Unquestonably the 'anti-clerical
party in Spain is growing and making its
influence felt. This influence so far is di-
rected toward loosening the hold of the
church on the state and moderating the
interference of Rome with the temporal
affairs of the country Recent events in
dictate that King Alfonso is prepared to ac-
cept the liberal and democratic view. and
does not shrink apparently from coming
into conflict with the pope and his nuncio
A decree was issued recently which af-
firms the right of the state to prescribe of
its own will what formalities shall be OBJ
served at civil marriages within its own
territories. The Vatican has challenged this
right. Several months ago the nuncio pre-
scented demand to the Spanish government
that all the civil marriages of the last
thirty years should be annulled. thereby
declaring the children of such marriages
illegitimate, and that the civil cemeteries
where nom Catholics are buried. should be
handed over to the church. These demands
have been refused. and by freeing persons
about to be married from the obligation of
declaring there religion the church is ex-
eluded entirely from such purely civil cere-
monies.
The Counts Explanation.
Count de Romanones. the minister of
grace and justice, has made the following
explanation of the attitude of the govern
ment:
For a long time all liberal opinion in
Spain has been united in demanding that
the spheres OF action of the church and
the state should be clearly marked out in
order to avoid the invasion by the former
of the special functions of the latter. par
ticularly in the exercise of the teaching
office. which is essentially attribute of
the state. When 1t came into power the
liberal party found itself already faced by
the problem which it desired to bring to
solution. But Rome. following its usual
diplomatic tactics. opposed continual de-
lays and evasions. Then the government
decided no longer to deal with the Vatican
except for those matters included in the

Who SDat There?

The above question is likely to be asked
many persons about Thurmont during the
next several weeks.
If our readers will turn to the advertising
columns of this paper, they will find an
Ordinance" approved and passed by the
President and Board of Commissioners of
Thurmont, wherein II says:
"Scction /. 1t shall he unlawful for any
person to expcctorate on any sidewalk or
street crossing or upon the floor, wall, pave
ment or platform Of any store, postoffice;
hotel church, or other place of public bust.
ness or entertainment.
THIS section of the law is likely to be bro
ken many times; the penalty attached there.
TO is q fine Of from one to five dollars for
each offcnse. flour baliff or constable is
alert, we believe that within the next six
months there will be sufficient funds in the
town treasury to lquidatc the towns ndcbt-
edncss.
Splitting or expcctorating on the sidewalk
is not unusual in this place, especially about
the street corners, and should have been pro.
hibi,cd years ago. We hope tine passage Of
this law will put al end to splitting on side
walks IN ThurmOnt.
