IRELAND SETS
HIMSELF RIGHT

With Explanation of Amer

s.. Paul Dec 30.-BeferrinS 10 the re-
port spread through France by l. Nd
n Cf Paris, to the effect that in his dis
course Of last Sunday lie had condemned
/ the present attitude of the pope and the
I French hierarchy in reference to tie law
of separation and association of worship.
Archbishop Ireland tonight MADE this
statement to the Associated Press:
lie Matin is an anti-CathOlic paper
and is willing to defend the action of
the Sover1m mt even by the perVersion
of facts 1t was somewhat of a vindica-
ton OF that action to quote an Ameri-

to reject such associations. No other re-
course, said. was open to the church

sacrifice and an appeal to the people of
France.
Criticism of Clergy.
'1f word OF blame for the clergy anC
Catholic church of France seemed to be
spoken. il was that heretofore. through
degree of passivity and supineness and
a lack of earnest continuation and union,
they had allowed the electoral urns 10
send to the cGsmher ma jOrity of radi-
cal and irreligiOus members. But Cath
olies in France have received a lesson.
and we confidently expect that they will
heed it and rally round their affairs and
hearthstones with sufficient courage and
united effort to Insure the triumph of
justice and religion.
1T IS easy to juggle with words and
give the name OF common law to rank
oppression As the pope has said en-
phatically: Let us have separation of the
church from the state in France. but
let us have it as il is had in the United
States. l may add:
Let us have in France asSOcia tons
or corporations for the holding of re-
hgious property. but let us have them
where the law respects the vital prin-
ciples of the church. does not subject

live and work according to her recognized
constitution"

Victims Were Tramps.

The five men who were killed were
beating their way on the train from
Nevada into this state and when the
smash-up occurred they were ground
10 pieces beneath the wheels and in
the wreckaSe. The grOans of one Of
the men. who was mortally injured, at
tracted the attention of the train crew
to where he lay pinned down by pieces
of a car and one of the wheels. He
died before he could be taken from
the wreck and his name was not
learned When the wrecker arrived
from TTuckee and one of the cars was
placed on the track. four more bodies
were found underneath. All were hOr-
-ihly mutiated and nothing was found
en- any of the bodies that would lead to
the identity of any of the remains.
Wreck Occurred Near Station.
The wreck occurred as the train was
RAISING the switch a short distance
from the station. The rear truck of one
of the heavily loaded cars left the rails
ard pulled four others after it. Three
OF the cars were loaded with merchan
