sitting as the Interstate Commerce commits
sion, began the third hearing of the Spo-
kane rate case at the federal court this
morning The morning was occupied in a
continuation Of previous hearings, and the
evidence dealt solely with the cost of the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern rail-
ways. The title of the case is the City OF

the proceedings, regardless of the fact that
the same tariffs are in effect over the Hsr-
riman system.

Northern Pacific with headquarters at Hell
ena, represents the Northern Pacific, as
sisted by A. NJ. Cannon, attorney for the

SECRET SOCIETY DEBATE ON
Latter Day Saints Greatly Interested
in Proposal TO Put ban on
Secret Societies.

LAMONT Ia, April 15'-(Special Tele-
gram.)-The early sermon at the Latter
Day Saints conference today was delivered
by Elder Richard Baldwin of Pennsylvania.
Business was resumed at o'clock. with
President Joseph Smith In the chair. Rou-
tine business occupied thirty minutes, and
then F. M. Smith took the chair and debate
was resumed upon the interesting question
whether or not church members should
belong to any secret order requiring the
taking of oaths or pledges requiring penal
ties Some argued that It would interfere
with the personal liberty of church mem
bers for the church to legislate against the
secret societies. Others asserted that the
encroachments of these orders upon the
membership of the church, as is recognized
by other denominations, is such that de-
cided action against them is necessary. The
intense interest in the debate was relieved
at 4:9O by a song sung by the missionary
octet, which rendered such popular music
at the three overflow meetings yesterday.
This octet is composed Of eight young men
from the uuorums of seventy, which officers
are the minute men of the church. the mis-
slonary force which Is each year sent to all
quarters OF the world.
Preaching tonight was by Elder v. M.
Goodrich OF Ohio. A meeting was also held
at which william Pitt Of Kansas City, an
eminent reader and elocutionist, gave a
very interesting lecture to the ministers,
giving them the benefit of his extensive
study along the lines OF voice culture and
public delivery. Elder Willis A. Mcdowell,
in charge Of the Chicago mission, will be
the speaker tomorrow morning.

cOnsistory this morning in the Vatican and
created seven new cardinals as follows:
Mgr. Cavallari, patriarch Of Venice.
Mgr. Rinaldini, papal nuncio to Spain.
Mgr. Lorenzelli, ex-papal nuncio at Paris.
Mgr. Lualdi archbishop of Palermo.
Mgr. Mafi, archbishop Of Pisa.
Mgr. Aguirre Garcia, bishop Of Burgos,
Spain.
The ceremony was performed with the
usual gorgeousness and impressive pomp.
First all the cardinals met in consistory
hall headed by their octogenarian dean,
Oreglia di Santo Stefano, the only surviv-
ing cardinal created by Plus TX. They
divided into three groups according to their
orders, that Of bishops and deacons. Plus
x, robed In white, entered on foot, preceded
by the Swiss guard. fianked by the noble
guard and followed by the Sistine choir,
singing. After the cardinals had paid their
homage everyone left the han except the
pope and the sacred college. Then the pope
from the throne addressed a simple prayer
and delivered a short allocution.
Attitude Toward France.
The pontiff dealt especially with the
struggle in France, which he said was par
ticularly painful to him, as he loved that
most noble nation, whose sorrows and joys

denounclng the discordat violently despoil-
ing the church and failing to recognize the
ancient and true glory OF the country, tried
to uproot the remains of religion by com
mitting all kinds of excesses, even those
most repugnant to French politeness, vio-
lating every public and private law and
custom. In so doing they illuminated the
episcopacy and clergy, tried to separate
them from the holy see and purposely util-
lied the national institutions to further
their anti-religious war so as to be able to
accuse the holy see of being in opposition
to French popular institutions, which in
reality were always recognized and re-
spected."
The pope said he was much pleased with
the splendid concord shown by the French
bishops and clergy who remained faithful
to the holy see, hoping for better times for
France for the church. He was confident
they would not cease to do their sacred
duty and work for the benefit of so beloved
people, adding:
ITO hatred they will oppose love, tc
error truth and TO insults and maledlctions
forgiveness. I pray God to end this per-
secution OF religion and permit the church
to reacquire her liberty. Even non-Catho-
lies, II they are lovers Of civilization, must
agree with us that this would add to the
common good and prosperity Of the coun.
try"
The pope then proceeded to the creation
of the new cardinals After this he made
the appointments OF archbishops and bish-
ops, including Mgr. Albert Guertin, bishor
of Manchester, N. H; Mgr. James Davis
bishop of Davenport, Ia Mgr. EmanueIe
