Pope,s penunclation Of MOdernIsm.

Pope's Denunciation Of Modernism.
Paris, Sept. l7.-Pope Pius's deuun-
citation of modernism marks an epoch in
the Catholic church's history, in the
opinion of the Roman clergy throughout
Europe.
The policy it represents is accepted as
of greater importance than the course
mapped out for the church along the
lines definitely dealt with in yesterdays
enoyclical.
From Pope Lees policy of half
measures the present pOntiff has broken
away forever. Extending toward the
whole world his attitude 10 the warfare
between the church and the French gov
eminent, his followers point out, Plus
stands for battle to the last ditch
rather than q compromise, which in his
opinion endangers the integrity OF the
church's dOgmss.
In the enclycicsl high churchman see
the initial step in series which will
definitely align the papacy as advocated
by Plus against any movement calculated
to weaken lite power or influence in the
slightest degree or 10 open the door for
changes calculated ultimately 10 und'r-
mine the foundation of the Roman faith.
"No papal encyclical of modern times
has compared with the list one 10 i'm
portance," said high ecclesisstic of the
Paris archbishopric today. "lts clear
meas leaves DO doubt concerning the
church's attitude toward modernism.
Ii leaves the world free to choose. The
people must be Catholic or non-catholic."
London, Sept. l7.-Should the Pope's
latest encyclical precipitate an actual
break between followers Of the old faith
and disciples of modernism, English
Catholics will welcome it joyiully, Brit
ish sdherents OF the Roman Catholic
Church declare.
at is better to cast our enemies out
than to permit them to work among us

commenting today upon the Pope's de-
nunciStion of extreme liberalism. $50
II the encyclical causes a schism it will
be for the best."
Immediate accommodation will
probably follow for those who, inclined
to modernism, try TO hide their beliefs

Logan in Eugland, pronounces the en-
cyclical wise snd timely, and is sure ii
will be received by British Catholics

RecaIcltrant Witness.

New York, Sept. 17.-Oommodore E.
O. Benedict, yachtman and banker,
proved a decidedly rscalcitrant witness
when he took the stand today 10 the
federal suit to dissolve the Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey before special
examiner Franklin Ferris, of st. Louis.
He said that be and Anthony N. Brady
formerly owned three quarters of the
stock of the Manhattan OIL Company,
but that he had sold his share and he
declined at first to positively identity
that company. Later he said his stock
went to the General Industrial Develop
ment Company OF England. Benedict
said he first went into the oil business to
protect bis gas interests in Indianapolis
and sold his oil stock for $3.50, S42. He
did not remember the name Of the
purchaser, but delivered the stock and
bonds to the Central Trust Company.
Brady, be said, was nov in Europe.
A series of questions regarding the
actual transfer of the stock brought out
the fact that Brown Brothers, OF New
York, furnished the funds TO the trust
company.

ankle permitting his lifeless body to
crfsh twenty feet downward to the ground

foot catching between two of the wires.
For several minutes he hung there, his

then the flesh, sinews and bone began to
sizzle and burn and within five minutes
the foot was severed and the body fell to

Explosion on BattIeship---FOrty Per-
sons Killed.

oOn0 0ttaNae
Toxic, Sept. l7-An explosion is re-
ported Ou the japanese bsttle-ship Ksshi-
ms, 12-iuch shell having burst with
forty casualties.
The explosion occurred inside the gun
shield, following an attempt to remove
an unexploded shell from the gun after
target practice near Kure, at A p. M,
September 9.
The battleship, under Captain Koi-
zumi, reached Kure two hours later, with
its forty killed and wounded. Among
the fatally injured were lieutenant, two
cadets and one staff officer whose rank
has not yet been learned.
The Ksshima is one of the largest and
best equipped vessels in the Japanese
navy. II is a sister ship OF the Katori, is
built of steel, with twin screws, two fun
nels and two mssts, each provided with
fighting top.
It's length is AS feet beam rs feet 2
inches, draught 26 feet s inches and
displacement 16, 600 tons. The arma-
ment consists of four 12-inch guns in
a citadel, twelve l2-pounders, six max
inns, three S-pounders and FIVE torpedo
tubes
A later dispatch says the cause of the
explosion is under investigation. The
report that a shell burst is erroneous.
Powder took fire. evidently from gas
emitted from the gun breach when oper-
ed for relOading. The Kaishima's hull
is undamaged.

sun shine so brightly, or the flowers
bloom so sweelly, as in Virginia, it is

and by some of the leading citizens
of the valley, the orator of the

THAT Maxim GorkY, the Russian
novelist, and Nine. Andrieys, the woman
who accompanied him on his trip TO
America, are now married, is the news
brought from Europe yesterday by
Harold MacGrath, the author, who ar
rived in New York on the steamer Fin
land. DR.. MacGrath and his wife spent
the summer on the island of Capri, near

TUESDAY EVENING. SEPT. II, 1907

Mr.. FINLEY, president OF the South
srn Railway Company, was one OF the
principal speakers at the meeting IN
Chicago Saturday of the American As
sociation of Freight Traffic Officers. He
took the ground that the present ag-
itation for legislation against railroads
was certain to prevent much needed i'm
proyement and enlargement OF railway
service, because of the consequent nee
essary timidity of capitalists, and urged
that railroad officials keep In touch with
the public through the medium OF the
newspapers and present their side OF the
controversy in frank and straightfor-
ward manner. He said, in part;
No one knows better than does the
traffic officer the insistence with which
shippers are demanding improved SER
vice, such as can be provided only by in
oresses in trackage, by the purchase OF
additional cars ard locomotives, and by
increasing and improving facilities in
eyery direction. For these needed inn
proyements new capital ia required, but
men and women with money to invest
hesitate. at the moment, to put 1t into
railway property. The man with money
TO invest he's 10 sentimental favorites.
lie is not guided by sentiment, but by
plain business considerations. He may
know that present and prosPectiges traffic
are sufficient TO make railway in
vsstments profitable if charges that are
fair and reasonable for the services per-
formed are permitted. But when he
sefs the enactment of laws for the re-
ducliou of charges, without due regard
for reasonablene,s and laws subjecling
railways TO excessive and iuequitable
taxation in comparison with other forms
Of property, it is natural that ne would
hi state or look elsewhere for oppor-
tunities tor investment. In
our country public opinion and legisls-
tive action are influenced very largely
by the newspapers. In a recent ad-
dress before the National and Virginia
4 iitorial Associations at the James
town Exposition l pointed out that
flr this reason it is of special Importance
that the newspapers should have correct
Information as to railway policies. They
hear a great deal from the anti-railway
side, but little from the railways. We
ought TO be frank in all our deal
inss with the press, so as TO leave
no occasion for adverse criticism or
comment based upon lack of information
a. to any railway matters in which the
public car have a proper interest. 1t
Inc railways are to have the cordial sup
port of the public, they must merit It,
Iney must see to it that their service IS
tho most efficient that their resources
enable them TO provide and that their
charges are neither unreasonably high
nor relatively unjust or discriminatory.
We know that these are policies that the
railways of the United States are endeav-
oring TO carry out, but the great majority
of the American people do not know 1t,
and they cannot know it unless We, who
come in contact with the public, embrace
every proper opportunity to make it clear
that the railways realize fully their
duties to the people and are striving to
perform them.
