ONLY CHANCE IS
USING BALLOTS
Vatican Expects to Drive
French Catholics to Seek Re-
dress in the Elections.
CHURCH PROPERTY is GONE
APPEAL WILL BE READ IN
CHURCHES TODAY.

Paris. Jan. 5.-Developments in the
church and state situation continue to
indicate that the vatican authorities feel
constrained TO vindicate their course. by
which church property in France TO the
value Of $i20O00,0OO was forfeited, by the
reflections OF everything offered by the
government, and will even go to the ex-
tent OF ordering the clergy to leave the
churches, in the hope of driving French
Catholics to demand redress IT the ball
lot box.
Bishop La Croix of Tarentaise has re-
ceived orders from the vatican necessi-
tatinG the dissolution of an association
which he had formed with the object OF
retaining the church property in order TO
support the stricken clergy Of his do
cese.
Appeals for Funds.
Many bishops are issuing appeals for
funds. maintaining the situation in the
blacklist colors. Cardinal Richards ap-
peal. which will be read in the Paris
churches tomorrow, will say:
The spoilation OF the church in France
will soon be complete. The government
has repudiated its sacred obligation by
suppressing the public worship budget.
The bishops and priests have been driven
from their homes, and, as If this was not
enough, the church has been stripped Of
all the property received through the
liberalty of the faithful during the past
century,. Even the fund of the aged and
iufirm clergy is today sequestered and
tomorrow will be confiscated.
Church Born in Poverty.
1t must not be forgotten that the
church was born in poverty, ana that
81 attaches no Importance TO the possess
sion Of material goods. This is proved
by the fact that il has surrendered every
thing rather than submit TO an organiza-
ton contrary to the principles OF the di-
vine constitution and spiritual indepen-
dcnce. Nevertheless. in order TO accom-
plsh its mission i'm clarifying God and
saving souls. temporal resources TO in
sure the exercise of public worship and
20 support the clergy are necessary.
Therefore. there is no recourse except 10
appeal TO the generosity of the faithful"

Examination of Cornish.
Mr.. Cornish would not admit that the
-four Pacifics" were under the same
operating officials. Each company OPP
crates its own system and has different
managing officials.
But the financial statements are
consolidated" he was asked.
yes" he said.
Mr.. Cornish said he did not know
who owned the stock of the Occidental
& Oriental Steamship company. but
promised to find out. He said the San

road, of which he is director was
first projected by Senator Clark in 1901.

over a certain right of way in a canyon
on government property. After year
of litigation there was a settlement
with Senator Clark. in pursuance of
which some 800 miles or the Oregon
Short Line was turned over 10 the San
Pedro, and the latter agreed TO build
to Los Angeles.
Counsel for the commission put in ev-
idence an abstract from the minutes of
the executive committee of the South
eIn Pacific, in which it was stated that
the action of Chairman Hartman in

Salt Lake investment.
1t was also SHOWN that last year the
Southern Pacific bought three-fifths of
the stock of the Utah Light & Railway
company in Salt Lake City.
What was the policy of the South
ern Pacific i'm buying that street rail-
way property" asked Chairman
Knapp.
1.-The understanding was that the
company was in a bad way and needed
purchaser The Southern Pacific and
Union Pacific were interested in the
city and thought it would be good poll
icy to make the purchase"
1t was also shown that the Southern
Pacific has a large interest IN the in
terurban electric lines running out of
Los Angeles.
Vice President Cornish was cues
toned as to what became of the $780,
600, 900 of convertible bonds issued in
March, 1901. by the Union Pacific Rail-
way company. but he remembered few
of the details. He said he presumed
the bonds were sold at less than par.
They were convertible into common
stock. an issue of 800, 100000 being
made at the same time the bonds were
authorized.
"As matter Of fact" said Mr.. KEEL
logg, were not these bonds issued and
the money used to enable the Union
Pacific to speculate i'm railway stocks?"

Mr.. MiIburn of counsel TO the Union
Pacific was on his feet in an instant,
Directing to the form Of the interroga-
ton.
1T is not up to the dignity of the ex-
animation he protested.
''Well, we will say to buy and sell
stock" answered Attorney Kellogg.
II don't know how I can trace that
money" said Mr.. Cornish.
Various sums of money came into
the treasury and were used in various
ways.
