The bank is successful financially because

Schismatic Body Holds Services
in One Of the Confiscated
Buildings:
OPPONENTS ATTEND IN FORCE
Attempts to Break Up the Service Are
Quelled.
Police Twice Eject MalcOntents and
Thereby Prevent Serious
Melee-Service Is Quiet.
Iy Concluded.

Paris, Feb. 4.-Only the presence OF
the police prevented 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. The
announcement of the attempt to or
ganiZe a schism had stirred up the
militant Roman Catholics, who organ
lied a hostile reception with the in
tention of breaking UP the services.
Handbills were distributed containing
the words of n popular air describing
Archbishop Vilatte, head of the Inde-
pendent Catholic movement in the
United States, as an American monkey
whom NJ BRAND, minister Of public
instruction and worship, desired to
make a French pope.
Almost a ''Riot in Church"
Several thousand persons were out
side the church, and scores of others
penetrated the already crowded church.
Interruptions commenced as soon as
Father Roussin, the pastor Of the
church, began his sermon welcoming
the approaching Roman Catholic indie
pendence, and the dawning OF the day
when all the churches Of Jesus Christ
will unite in Christian charity When
he thanked Archbishop Vilatte for aid
lug the French Roman Catholics in
establishing the first church, saying he
was cOnsecrated by the patriarch OF
Antioch, the successor of st. Peter, q
shout in the rear of the edifice, He is
excommunicated!' was the signal for
Il general tumult. and Father Roussin
finally was compelled to ask that the
police be summoned.
Police Expel the Turbulents.
About fifty persons were expelled
from the church. and quiet was prac-
ticaIly maintained until Archbishop vi
latte appeared at the altar in the robe
and mitre of an archbishop. Instantly
the din began again with redOubled
force, almost drowning his words. New
ertholess he calmly continued, saying
he had been n missionary for thirty
six years; but no savage tribe had ever
prevented him speaking, and conclud-
ing Gwen to those who interrupt and
revile me | say I will not excOmmuni-
cate I wish you no i'll. God be with
you. Amen"
a score or more of other persons was
then elected before Archbishop Vilatte
proceeded with the celebration of pom
tifical mass, in which he observed the
Roman Catholic rites. During the ele-
walton of the host the militant Roman
Catholics, instead of kneeling, climbed
into their chairs. In the meantime the
police had cleared the streets outside
the church and there were no demon
STATIONS as the congregation left.

minutes, and the resolutions entire
case was kept within two hours,
The witnesses related the deliberate
manner in which Thaw approached
White, faced him and fired. They re-
peated Thaw's assertion HE ruined
my wife," or life" and Mrs. Thaw's
remark to her husband, Yes. but look
what q fix you are in now" To this
last remark Thaw replied: 'Dearie, 1
have probably saved your life" 1t
was brought out that Thaw looked
back at his victim as he walked away
with a staring look in his eyes"
Caravans outline of the states testi-
mony was the briefest possible story
Of the crime. He told how White went
to see the initial production of sum-
'mer musical comedy, and then related
in simple language the incident Of the
killing. 'The people claim" he con-
Guided, that it was cruel. deliberate,

Heredity has made us what we are.
heredity has made the living world.
Our case is far removed from the
much-discussed defense of emotional
insanity. You must disabuse your
minds OF all you haveread in the news
papers. and especially Of the idea that
has gone abroad that we are to rely
upon some higher OR nnwritten law.
we rely upon the constitutions and the
laws Of the imperial stateof New York,
and upon them alone. You will under
stand this mans insanity. 1t will not
require experts to tell you of it. 1T is
within you to judge him and you will
say from the evidence that when he
killed Stanford White he was an in
sane man.
