A new encyclcal issued by Pope Plus
x. at Rome makes a sweeping condemna-
ton of all the so-called heresies of the
present time, which he has grouped under
the term modernism" In taking this
attitude the Pope asserts that he is but
following in the footsteps of his prede-
cessor, Leo XIII. The document exam
ines the different aspects of modernism
in philosophy, religion, history, criticism,
and the various social reforms known as
radicalism, contending that in all these
respects the effect would be toward the
destruction of dogmas and of the church
hierarchy. Modernism is further charac-
terized as unlimited curiosity, presump-
ton, individualism, ignorance and disre-
spect of real Catholic science and disci-
pine" All bishops are enjoined to see
that the clergy and the laity be turned
from this line of thought, and are ordered
to establish college of censors in every
diocese to revise Catholic publications and
rigidly to prescribe all Objectionable
books, newspapers or pamphlets.
Notwithstanding this general prohibit
ton, the Pope's letter endeavors to dis
tinguish between modernistic thought and
the modern studies which are not in oppo-
sition to the church He foresees that
the adversares of the church will repre-
sent it as the enemy of science and pro-
gress. ITO this" says the Pope, I'VE
win reply by our actions" and he goes on
to say that the most illustrious represen-
tatives of Catholic science viii be group
ed together with the object of favoring
and helping "the progress of everything
that can be called true science or erudi-
ton" The encyclical also orders the dis
missal from seminaries and Catholic uni
versities of all teachers who profess mod
ernistic theories. In the European press
there is some discussion as to whether
this encyclical is aimed at one country
more than another. Some say it is di-
rected against France, and others against
the United States, but it is by no means
certain that the Pope had any particular
nation in mind.

capital city of the province is Huesca,
with a population of over 10000 people.
The city is we'll built and of a pic

suggested are, first, to permit agree
ments between railroad corporations on
reasonable freight and passenger rates,
subject to the approval of the Interstate
Commerce Commission; and, second, as
the next step in executing the will of the
people to secure Justice and equality of
opportunity for ALL" the creation of a
non-partisan commission in which the
interests of capital, labor and OF the gen.

commission should be empowered to deal
with the whole subject of business and
labor combinations and report such plans
for the formation and regulation of cor
porations as shall preserve individual in
itiative, competition and the free exercise
of free contract in all business and in
dustrial relations" In connection with
this law the Civic Federation urges that
legislation should msdify the prohibition
now existing against organizations of la
boz, associations of farmers end combi
nations of capitalists whose business is
in the public interest. The proposed
commission should make a thorough in

The inspection and supervision of great
producing corporations should be enlarg-

such corporations large enough TO have

conflicts between State and federal au-

SINGER FOUND SHOT.
SUICIDE OF FORMER RESIDENT
OF EVANSTON, ILL.
Sends Note to Her Daughter Telling
of Intended Act--New Jersey
Farmer browns In Barrel EneIos-
ing Spring ON rs Land.

After sending a note to her daughter
saying she intended to commit suicide,
Mrs. Julie Wyman. formerly an opera
singer, and said to have been the divorced
wife OF Walter c. Wyman Of Chicago,
shot and killed herself, it is believed, as
she was found dead in her apartments in
Lexington avenue, New York This was
the second violent death in the family
within the month, Edward f. Wyman,
brother of Walter, having fallen from the
gang plank of the battleship Louisiana
on Nov. 4 and received injuries from
which he died. Mrs. Wyman separated
from her husband several years ago. At
this time she took her daughters from the
family home in Evanston, Ill, transported
them to New York and was taken aboard
an outgoing French steamer by a launch
which was in waiting in the North river.
Thus she eluded detectives employed by
her husband. The daughters were placed
in convent in France. Mrs. Wyman
sang with Melba at the Waldorf-Astoria
ten years ago and was famed as an ora
torio soloist throughout this country. On
Saturday Clara, then in Yonkers, received
a note saying that her mother intended
to commit suicide and telling how the fiat
could be opened. Because Mrs. Wyman
had frequently threatened to kill herself
the daughter paid no attention to the note
at first. Later, becoming alarmed, she
went to New York. and, calling some
friends, entered the fat.

WILL ASK AUTO MAIL CAR.
Postal League to Press It's Plan
Before Congress.


The next Congress will be asked to pro-
vide for an experiment in automobile post
Offices for rural delivery service. This sug-
gestion was made at a lneer.ng o. the
Postal Progress League recently by James
L. Cowles, the secretary and treasurer of
the league
Mr.. Cowles estimated that the present
loss to the government on rural delivery
service amouL ted to SIP for each route.
With the adoption of automobiles and
change in the postal regulations to permit
local rural parcels delivery with a
weight limit Of eleven pounds, Mr.. Cowles
declared rural delivery would become a
profit instead of loss to the government.
Following out this suggestion, the
league will ask Congress for an appropria-
ton of $4,000 to test the plan. Mr..
Cowles' calculations were made for
route of twelve miles covered twice a day.
He estimated that the cost of these trips,
including the carriers salary, would
amount to only So day, which would be
more than provided for if each of some
175 families along the route paid only 3
cents day for parcels from the town.
Frederick G. Beach, the president of the
league, said that the National Grange,
the association which obtained the passage
of the free-alcohol bill, would back the
Postal Progress League in this and its
other postal reforms. President Beach
was empowered by the meeting to appoint
committee to draw up petitions to be
presented to Congress this coming win

HURT IN COLLISION.
FORTY PASSENGERS INJURED IN
CAR CRASH.
Line Tries to Steal Switch on
TrestIe In Fog-Nebraska Uni
yersity Students on Strike.

Forty men, women and children were
injured, twenty-six of them seriously in
a street car accident near Seattle, Wash,
when two speeding cars crashed into each
other in dense fog. Both cars were
smashed. The accident was the result
of the foolhardy attempt of the conductor
and motorman of city-bound car to steal
n switch on an outbound car. The track
runs over a trestle above the tide fats
and the fog made it impossible for the
men in charge to see each other until
they were only few feet apart. The
coaches narrowly escaped topping over
into deep water. Several of the victims
may die, among them Motorman Ii. L.
Hufine, who attempted to steal the
switch. The place where the accident oc-
Cured is several miles from Seattle on a
single track line and the injured passen-
gers were without medical attention until
a special relief car arrived. Among the
injured is c. l.. Harbaugh, a travelling
passenger agent for the Pennsylvania rail-
road. G. w. Smith, assistant librarian of
the State university, also is a victim.

ances with Nobility.
More than 400 American girls have
married foreigners of noble families and
many of them have taken big fortunes to
their European husbands.
A French journal, LIE Petit Parisien,
declared the other day that Americana
girls who had married abroad, mostly for
foreign titles, had carried with them to
Europe the astonishing sum of $900,000,-
600. The Paris writer did not associate
this statement with the reports of tight
money" in America, yet the fact that
hundreds of millions have gone out of
the country with the title hunters may
we'll occasion a little financial as well as
a social speculation.
Henry Clews, the veteran fnaneier,
when asked for an opinion on this esti-
mate, said:
II think the statement that S9O0,000,-
600 Of wealth has been taken out of this
country, or at least that the ownership
of this vast amount of assets has been
transferred to aliens by the marriage of
American girls with foreigners is conserv-
ative Undoubtedly the withdrawal of
such an enormous sum has an appreciable
effect upon the money market.
-The folly of Americans who have Eu-
ropamania is extremely costly to this
country. Our tourists spend at least
$150,000,O00 abroad every year, most of
it foolishly."

Pnre Foad LAW Defended.

DR.. N. w. Wiley, chief chemist of the
Agricultural Department, in an interview,
de ENDS the national pure-food law from
the attacks of those who charge the in
creased cost of living to it's operation. DIR.
Wiley admits that pure foods are worth
more, and should bring higher prices in
the markets than debased foods, and says
that any legitimate rise in the price on
this account is a benefit to the consumer
rather than to the producer, and should
be regarded as blessing and not as
curse. He calls attention to the fact that
while pure foods have advanced in price
the adulterated articles have declined.
Nevertheless he points out that the great
staple articles which form 80 per cent
of the food supply, are not, and cannot be.
affected by this law. He warns the pub
lie that in no case does the government
guarantee the purity of any article manu-
featured and sold, but merely aims to
have the goods sold for what they are.

HINTS OF BANK SCANDAL.
Ridgely Said to Hold Evidence of
Law Violations.

1t is learned in Washington that Comp
troller of the Currency Ridgely has in
preparation for transmission to the De-
partment of Justice the results of his in
vestigation of conditions disclosed in a
bank in New York. The inquiry began
with the bank in question getting into
trouble, from which it was extricated by
drastic measures. 1t is understood that
the examiners have discovered violations
of the national banking law in the reports
made to the Comptroller. For making
false reports the law pr.scribes imprison-
ment for not more than ten years. Wheth-
ct the offenses discovered are of this
character, the Comptroller would not in
dictate. The most that he would say was
that the facts would be submitted in
very few days to the Department of JUS
tice. 1t was said at the Department of
Justice that tie Comptroller had not yet
made a report on The results of his inyes-
tigation. 1t was said that as matter of
course there would be vigorous prosecu-
tions of the bank officials involved if the
Comptroller submitted evidence of the
violations of the banking law.
