LONG STRUGGLE
J. IS INEVITABLE.
A Former French Premier's
Opinion Concerning the
Law of Separation
Emile oliver Declares That the
French Government Would Like to
# (. Go Back, But II Does Not
Know How.

Rome. Emile oliver, who was
premier In Francs under Napoleon
III, has written letter to the Glor-
male dItaIia, saying it is too soon to
pass. serious judgment on the Franco
Vatican conflict. I'VE must await"
M. oliver says, ''the instructions the
pope will give after the application of
the law now before the French SEN
ate.
1T is evident that the French gov
eminent would like to go back, but 1t
does not know how. The logical and
strong measure would have been to
close the churches when the Catholics
refused to found cultural associations,
but the government feared popular
rising. The pope knows exactly what
he wants, and with his inflexfble will
he will win. If referendum Vote OF
the. French people were possible the
policy of the government would not
find three million supporters" |
M. oliver says he foresees that the
struggle will be long.

FALL DUE TO WOMAN.
Lady TownIey Said to be at Bottom
of Durand's Withdrawal.


Washington Careful inquiries
among embassies show that it is the
common belief there that the humili-
ating withdrawal of ambassador Du-
rand is unqaestionably due. TO the
spiteful work of Lady Townley, the
clever wife of the former counselor
of the British embassy. the Hon.
Walter Townley.
The feud between Lady Townley
and the Durands was a matter of gen.
eral knowledge in the diplomatic body
during the whole of the brief period
of service of the counselor.
Members of the diplomatic corps
here believe it quite possible for
Lady Susan, through her high connec-
tons with the royal family, to have
so poisoned the mind of the King
against Sir Henry as to bring about
his recall.

AGED ,REcLUsE. MURDERED.
Head of Victim Horribly Hacked
= ~ With Hatchetr s,.s.

Kansas City.AThomas Tanning,
aged 80 years, a wealthy property
owner, who lived alone, was muir
dered some time Sunday at his home,
1918 Olive street, in this city. The
head had been horribly hacked with
a Ratchet. The crime was reported
to the police by William Tanning,
the murdered mans young nephew.
Young Tanning, who is the dead
mans only heir, was held for inves-
tigation, but later was released.
Robbery was not the motive of the
crime, as $1,000 was found by the po-
lice in a chest in the room where the
body was found lying In the old
mans pockets were a gold watch, $13
in money and deposit slip showing
that he had deposited $4,000 in To-
cal bank ON Dec. 5.

Emergency Brake Failed.

Cincinnati.-At least thirty per-
sons we're injured. one of whom has
since died, in the wreck of runaway
electric car on the Warsaw avenue
hill in this city Sunday. The emer-
gency brake failed to work, and the
car. after running distance of five
blocks, struck a telegraph pole and
turned turtle. The passengers were
thrown in heap in the mud beside
bank. Hiram Lester, a passenger, by
operating the brake on the rear plat
form, probably prevented a much
worse accident, as his action reduced
the speed of the car materially.
