POPE CAN'T HELP POLES.
German School Question Is Found to Be
Political and Not Religious
Kaiser Felicitated

ROME, Dec. 3.-The Pope today re,
ceived Cardinal Kopp, bishop of Bres-
lau, in a private farewell audience. The
cardinal will go direct to Berlin, to meet
Emperor William and tell him Of the
conferences with the Vatican on the
Polish situation.
The Vatican thoroughly sympathizes
with the Poles but cannot espouse their
cause against Germany, as the Iatters
policy is not directed against the Cath
Ole religion. Religious teaching in Ger
man is insisted upon by the Prussian
authorities only in the case of children
who know that language Therefore the
conflict is political.
The Pope charged Cardinal Kopp to
convey his warmest greetings to Empcr-
or William.

GIVEN PRISON Frs.
Stranger Mixed Bottles at Manila and
Ten Convicts Were Inoculated
Fatally.

MANILA. Dec. 3.-An investigation
made at Bilbid, where ten prisoners
who had been inoculated with cholera
serum recently died, has disclosed traces
of plague germs i'll the bodies.
No formal report has been made and
the government has reached no decision.
Stranger Cot Germs Mixed.
1t is asserted that tubes containing
plague germs and others filled with
cholera serum, which are SO much alike
that it is almost impossible to distin-
guish them apart, were mixed in the
laboratory by a visitor who examined
the plague germs, and by mistake placed
them in a rack with the serum tubes.
This is said to have occurred during
the temporary absence of DR.. r. =.
Strong of the bureau of science, who
has been conducting experiments and in
oculation of persons with cholera serum
to test its efficacy.

Of the situation, but the foreigners are

that criminal charges will be preferred,
but it is possible that DR.. Strong may

TOBACCO STEMMERIES AT PRINCE
TON, KY, AND SEVERAL COT
TAGES ARE BURNED.
CRUSADE AGAINST TRUST.
Take Charge of Telephone Station and
Otherwise l'revent Assistance Until
Their Work Is Completed.

PRINCETON, KY, Dec. 1.-The to-
bacco stemmeries of John Steger and
John G. Orr, the latter controlled by the
Imperial Tobacco company of New
York, were totally destroyed at an early
hour today by a fire which was kindled
by mob of masked men.
Several cottages in the vicinity were
badly damaged, but nobody was hurt.
The loss is estimated at $4,000.
Three Hundred Men Come.
The mob which numbered about 300
men entered Princeton between / and 2
o'clock and seized the night town mar
shall and diSarp!ed him. They then
went to the factories and quickly applied
the torch.
The masked men stood on guard, per-
hitting nobody to come near until the
buildings were completely enveloped in
flames and help was useless. A squad
OF the mob took charge of the telephone
office and no word Of the affair was per
United to go out.
Nothing Left to Save.
When the mob saw that the fire was
beyond control they left the town, going in
the direction of Hopkinsville, dischargS
ing revolvers and rifles as they departed.
The fire department then came out, but
could do nothing more than prevent the
fire from destroying buildings in the
vicinity.
The Steger factory is controlled by
the American Snuff company and Mr..
Steger is the Princeton agent for that
concern. Mr.. Orr is the representative
of the Imperial company.
Part of Antitrust Fight
There were about 10000 pounds Of
tobacco in each warehouse and all of it
was burned. The work of the mob is
the agitation by tobacco raisers against
the so-called tobacco trust. Several
plants have been dynamited in this cru
SADIE.
Militia May Be Called
LOUISVILLE, KY, Dec. 1.-Mott
Ayers, state fire marshal, left for Prince
ton today to investigate the incendiar-
isms. He has the powers of a grand jury
to summon witnesses and require them to
testify under oath. 1t is not improbable
that Gov. Beckham will be asked to call
one the militia in view of past outrages.
G.. 4. Snyder, secretary of the state
board of fire underwriters, says the in
surance companies will not be respon-
sible for the loss under the clause eX-
empting them in cases of riot and in
vasion. The companies are investigating
an incendiary fire that destroyed the
$4,000 tobacco plant of w. G. Rice Sc
Sons at Fredonia, November II. Pre-
vious to the Rice fire several tobacco
barns were dynamited in Trigg, Graves
and Caldwell counties.
Feud Is Six Years Old.
A protective association was formed
throughout the dark tobacco district and
severest measures were taken against
growers who refused to join it. Marau-
ders visited their farms at night and cut
down the tobacco plants with hoes, set
fire to their barns, and committed other
depredations.
The ill-feeling began about six years
ago, when the italian government sent
agents into the dark tobacco field. These
agents paid such high prices for the to-
bacco that other agents were driven out
of the field.
