NOT REQUIRED TO
ATTEND CHURCH
JUDGE ADVOCATE RULES ON
COLUMBUS CASE
Rebuked Sergeant Who Disobeyed
Orders Finds Crumb Of Comfort
In Decision by Army
Tribunal
BY Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, Feb 3.-The text Of
the opinion by Judge Advocate General
Davis In connection with sergeant's
refusal to obey orders at Columbus (O)
| barracks to attend church services, for
which refusal the war department or
dered the sergeant's reduction and
transfer to another post, shows the fol-
lowing question submitted to the sec
retary of war by the commanding of
ficer of the recruiting depot at Colum-
bus barracks
us an order directing a soldier of a
command by the commanding officer
thereof to attend divine worship in a
| church in which he was brought up
and who has no conscientious scruples
against attending such services so
manifestly Illegal as to warrant such
soldier in deliberately violating the
same?"
In his opinion Judge Advocate Davis
called attention to the fact that con-
gress is forbidden, by the first amend
ment to the constitution, to make any
law respecting an establishment of re-
ligion or prohibiting free exercise
| thereof"
He says officers and enlisted men of
the army have never been required to
attend religious services.
II must therefore conclude that" Mr.,
| Davis continued while post COM
mander lawfully may issue such orders
as he may deem necessary to secure a
proper observance of the Sabbath, 1t is
not competent for him to require officers
and enlisted men to attend divine SER
vices, or to promulgate instructions in
respect to the observance of the day
which are in excess of or contradictory
to the requirements of the fifty-second
article of war.
LAS an incident of hts authority as
post commander, however, he may re-
quire those who attend divine services
to form at a designated time and place
and to march to and from the place
where the services are to be held, in a
proper military manner. He may also
require an officer or on-commissioned
officer to supervise such formation to
march the command to and from chapel
and to maintain order during the prog
ress of the services.
"Such an order does not require the
officer or non-commissioned officer who
receives it to take part in the worship.
but only to see that the requirements
of the article are observed by those who
voluntarily attend.
The case is similar If an officer or
non commissioned officer who COM
mands the escort or firing party at a
military funeral in which the require.
ments of the drill regulations provide
for participation in the religious SER
vice of an interment. 1t cannot be de-
MED that an order detailing an officer
to such duty is a lawful order notwith-
standing the fact that the burial SER
vices may be conducted by a clergyman
! OF another denomination"

ORGANIZE RIOT
IN MONASTERY
MILITANT CATHOLICS OPPOSE
SCHlSM IN PARIS
Thousands Disturb Services, and the
Police Eject over Fifty Disturb
ers When New Church
Is Formed
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
PARIS, Feb. 3-Only the presence of
the police prevented a riot at the Old
Barnabite monastery which has been re-
christened the Church of the Holy
Apostles, where the French Apostolic
Catholic church was inaugurated today.
The announcement of the attempt TO
organize q schism has stirred up the
militant Catholics, who organized a
hostile reception with the intention of
breaking up the services. Handbills
were distributed containing the words
of a popular air, describing Archbishop
Villatte, head of the Independent Cath
Ollie movement in America, as an Ameri-
can monkey, whom M. BRAND, minister
of public instruction and worship, de-
sired to make French pope.
Thousands of persons were outside
the church and the edifice was filled.
Interruptions commenced as soon as
Father Roussin, pastor of the church,
began his sermon welcoming the repre-
sentatives of Catholic Independents,
and the dawning of a day when the
church of Jesus Christ will unite In
Christian charity"
Then he thanked Archbishop Villatte
for aiding the French Catholics in es-
tablishing the first church, saying he
was COnSeCraCeQ Dy Ine patriarch OL
Antioch, the successor of st. Peter. A
shout in the rear of the edifice, He is
communicated" was the signal for a
general tumult, and Father Roussin
finally was compelled/to ask that the
police be summoned.
About fifty persons were expelled
from the church and quiet was prac-
tically maintained until Archbishop
Villatte appeared at the altar in the
robe and miter of an archbishop. In
stantly the din began again with re-
doubled force, almost drowning his
words.
Nevertheless he continued, saying he
had been a missionary for thirty-siX
years. but no savage had ever pre-
vented him speaking, and concluding:
Even to those who interrupt and revile
me 1 say 1 will not excommunicate.
wish you no i'll. God be with you.
Amen"
A score or more persons were then
elected before Archbishop Villatte pro-
ceeded with the celebration of ponti-
fical mass, in which he observed the
Catholic rites. During the elevation of
the host the militant Catholics, instead
of kneeling, climbed into their chairs.
In the meantime the police had
cleared the streets outside the church
and there were no demonstrations as the
congregation left.

PRESS WAR TAA REGRETTED
Leaders in Toxic DepIore Heated
Publications
By Associated Press.

by ASSOCldleu
TOXIC, Feb. 4.-The war talk of
the American press has been re-
ceived here with great surprise and
sincere regret.
The, correspondent of the Associated
Press has talked with several leading
men both in and out of the government.
They concur in the opinion that the
United States is the last country with
which Japan would go to war. Be
sides, both nations are unaggressive
in their trade riValries, which seldom
lead to war unless territorial acquisi-
ton is intended by either rival.
In some quarters the belief is eX-
pressed that the misrepresentation that
Japan is suffering from on account of
the San Francisco school controversy
Is the outcome of immunity shown dis
affected war correspondents in the late
Russian war. 1t is believed that these
correspondents are ever watching for
occasion to Victimize Japan. Even
those inclined to be chauvinistic ridi-
cule the idea of war with the United
States.
The Japanese press has been silent
so far, apparently considering the mat
ter unworthy of comment.

GLOBE MOURNS At
NECR0'S VICTIMS
Suspected Prisoner Is Kept in District
Attorneys Home Over Night
to Avoid Rush by
Mob
By Associated Press.


GLOBE, Ariz., Feb. 3.-Hundreds at
tended the funeral today of Mrs. Nor
ris and her 4-year-old daughter, who
were murdered by William Baldwin at
Roosevelt.
There is still determination to
lynch Baldwin, more as a warning to
other negroes than to punish the hor-
rible crime. No negroes have been seen
on the streets since yesterday after
noon. 1t is rumored that last night
Baldwin was concealed, heavily guard
ed, at the home of District Attorney
StOneman, after being spirited away
from Jail. This morning Baldwin was
taken by a circuitous route to the de-
pot by Sheriff Thompson. They board
ed a train for Tucson. where they ar
rived late i'm the afternoon and Bald
win was confined in the Pima county
Jail. The town has quieted down after
the attempted lynching last night, but
among Roosevelt people still In Globe
there seems to be a disposition to take
the negro from the officers before trial
if possible.
According to the district attorney S
office the evidence against Baldwin is
conclusive.
1t seems the negro attempted to
assault Mrs. Morris at her home and
she fed up the canyon, the negro
catching her 300 yards from the house.
She defended herself with rocks, the
face and head of the negro showing
marks and cuts in the neck apparently
made with finger nails. The woman's
body was horribly mutiated, skull
crushed and throat cut. The child had
been struck in the mouth with a rock
and it's throat cut.
Indian trailers on the ground say
that only Baldwin's tracks are visible
there and those of the victims. Rain
the night previous made 1t easy for
the trailers.
The negro says he attempted to res
cue the woman as she was being at
tackled by two MeXicans who struck
him in the head with a rock knock
ing him senseless. When he recovered
the two dead bodies were there.
The story is untenable as Baldwin
was out hunting and had shotgun,
