THEIR GRAIN k0TTED.
Oklahoma Fairness CoaId Not Get
Cars to ship It.

Kansas City. Mo. Dec. 21.=The in
terstate commerce commission car
shortage hearing was resumed here
this morning. Numerous shippers in
different lines were subpoenaed to
testify. Commissioner 9. A Prouty
finish the hearing late today and to
start for Washington tonight.
H. G. Wilson, manager of the trans
portation department of the Kansas
City Board of Trade. said that Kansas
City grain men feared to accept future
orders for fear of their inability to get
cars.
In your opinion. has the car short
age had any effect on the price of
grain to the peoDle?" asked Commits
sioner PrOuty.
Il think it has, replied Mr.. Will
son.
Mr. Wilson said that the claim Of
the railroads that grain men did not
unload the cars prong pity did not ap-
ply to Kansas City grain men, 5 the
cars that arrived here were released
without delay. The witness presented
data to show that the receipts of grain
at Kansas City had decreased $50
cars in II months, and despite this it

Mr. Wilson said there. were two rea-
sons for the present 7conditions-in-
ability on the part of the railroads to
keep their rOlIlngs stock IN shape and

believed there should be some way to
prevent the discrimination of the rail-
roads against the second class" ship
per, as the shipper of grain and hav is
known. The shipper of "high-class
freight" he said. had always been
given the first call on cars, while the
grain. coal and cattlemen had to wait.
Mr.. Wilson asserted that if there
was free interchange between the
railroads it would lessen the car short
age. He believed that the shortage of
cars had produced material damage to
shippers.
r. G. Crosswhite. an elevator man
Of Enid, Okla. said with an elevator
full of grain he had only been able to
ship one car since October 9. His firm
was forced to buy grain on the track
at high rates in order to get cars. He
said that the farmers of Oklahoma
had been unable to sell their grain and
had lost heavily. For want of cars
the farmers had placed their grain on

NOTE FROM VATICAN.
Points Out to France a way to Reach
Compromise


Rome, Dec. 21.-zFhe note sent by
the vatiean-to all the papal representa-
tives abroad protesting against the
course of the French government after
asserting that the rights of religion
have been outraged by the French
governments action IN preventing the
head of the church from communicate
ing with the French hierarchy and by
the expulsion of Mgr. Montagnini
secretary of the papaI nunciature at
Paris says:
The representatives Of the Holy See
abroad have also received a circular in
which is set forth the motives for the
action of the vatican regarding the
application of the church and state
separation law of 1905. These mo-
t1ves are so grave that it is evidently
Impossible to accuse the Holy See Of
intransigence or of unjust hostility
TO the French government in con-
demning : The cultural associations
which disregarded the essential rights
which the church derived from hire
constitution such as maintaining an
ecclesiastical hierarchy established by
her divine founder as the basis of the
organization of the church. In fact,
the law conferred on the cultural as
sociations rights which not only belong
exclusively to the ecclesiastical author
tiles in the presence of worship and in
possessing and administering ecclesias-
teal property. but the same associa-
tIOtlS we're rendered Independent OF the
ecclesiastical hierarchy and instead
were placed under the jurisdiction of
the lay authorities. The pontiff could
not approve of such associations with
out being lax in his duty as head of
the church and without trampling
upon the fundamental domestic prin-
ciples of the church.
The same can be said of NJ Bry-
ands circular. The Holy See could
not admit the unjust and intolerable
conditions which the circular imposed
upon the clergy in the exercise of their
duties.
''AlI this. evidently shows that the
Holy See merely did its duty. strictly
in giving instructions on the subject to
the French clergy. If the French
government was animated by .calmer
sentiments it could create for the
church in France a situation which
at least would not injure the essential
rights Of the Holy See which might
even without admitting the principle of
separation of church and state toler-
ate such situation in order to avoid
worse evils as it did in the case of other
countries

disagreement with the people with
whom they lived. was discharged, with.
out notice. with no means. no friends
to whom she might apply for aid. and
night fast approaching. Though pitt
full story. it is a true one. and occurred
in Rock Island The w. c. T. u. has
d room and bed at the rest rooms for
any so situated.
Should any person at-any time learn
of woman in such a position, will he
kindly direct her to the rooms?
Quite recently a woman and a little
child came from Galesburg to Rock
Island. enroute for Muscatne They
were intending to 20 from Rock Island
by boat When they reached the boat
landing. they discovered that they had
been robbed. They were strangers in
the city, but some one directed them
to the rest rooms. where they were
made welcome and comfortable for the
night. In the morning they obtained
transportation by leaving their bag
gage with the steamboat company as
security. Should any one desiring lodg
ing at the rooms and find them closed
