IS AGAINST SPIRITUAL IDEAS
Says EncycIical Of Pope to
French Catholics.

Rome, Jan. II. -- The OsseTyatore
Romano yesterday published the text
Of an encyelical addressed by the pope
10 the French Catholics. The French
governments declaration Of war was,
be sgid, not only against the Chris.
tian faith but against all spiritual
ideas.
The French Catholics must be pre-.
pared for all sorts of trials, but they
are certain Of hnal victory. This
meant the maintenance OF their union
with the holy see, which was Vt the
greatest Importance. Contrary TO the
statement made ON the subject the
church did not desire a religious war.
Regarding the ecclesiastical proper
ties. the encyclicai asid the pope had
not abndoued them.
The French government has impo ed
on the Catholics OF France an organ
| ization which the church was unable
to accept without impeIiling her ex-
! istence as a divine institution. The
church would not prevent the unjust
spoliation in progress, for as the pro-
posed cultura associations were OPP
posed TO the hierarchy established by
Christ. the pope condemns them In
spite Of the consequent material in
/ juries involved.
Continuing. the pope said:
1--WE have been accused Of prejudice
and inconsistency. 1t has been said
that we refused to approve IN France
what We had already approved 10 Ger
many. But this reproaeh is unjust
aud uufounded.

BALLOT BOXES
WERE OPENED
Attempt to Tamper with Vote of
Occur d'AIene Precinct

Boise, Idaho, Jan. II. - Today a
tart was made with the contest case
rom Kootenai county. The senate
disposed of its end Of the matter for
he present and the committee on
privileges and elections devoted the
session to hearing the testimony read
IN the senate. The sergeant at arms
was called on to open two boxes for
which there were no keys. While he
was preparing for the job, attention
was called to the fact that one Of the
boxes was unlocked. 1t developed
that one had been shipped all the way
from Kootenai county unsealed:
Senator Waldrip declared the commit
tee on elections had no right what
ever to pay any attention to unsealed
ballot boxes, contending that the fact
that it had come into the hands of the
president in that condition excluded
It from being Of any value whatever
In the case. Without proceeding any
further, the senate put the case,
boxes and all, in the hands of the
committee. The full committee met
at two O'Clock. After discussing
methods of procedure, they began the
reading of dispositions in the case,
taken several weeks ago. The entire
afternoon session vas taken up with
the reading of testimony of Ezra R.
Whitla county attorney of Kootenai
county. The committee then ad-
iourned until morning.
C. l.. Hoffman was present repre-
senting Mr.. We'll, and Mr.. McCleal
was there in his own behalf. JUS
before the committee adjourned, MI
Heitman stated although he bad orig
inally desired a recount of the ballot
in Occur d'Alene precinct, Senate
McClear's hcme town, he would nov
vigorously oppose such a recount
This was owing to the fact that afte
the contest WAS commenced, the loci
on one OF the Occur d'Alene ballo
boxes had been broken of and re
moved. He added that he knew thi
was not done in the interest of Mr.
We'll. II appears that two ballo
boxes were used in a single Occur d
Alene polling place. Mr.. Heitma
stated that be he'd an affidavit froE
the sheriff of that county, who col
lected the ballot boxes that were to b
brought here, to the effect that he

BAND QUARTERS
Y GO UP IN FLAME
Historic Old Building at Fort Sher-
man Destroyed

This afternoon at I;45 o'clock the
IRE bell rang out the death knell Of
the old band quarters OF abandoned
Fort sherman which was burned to the
ground, causing Boughton Il Com
pany, owners, to loose about s2250,
the building being insured for 1000.
The separate families who resided
In the building experienced loss
amounting to $4,000 making a total
loss In the neighborhood Of $3.50.
The fire started on the lower floor
/ in one or the west end rooms, that
portion being occupied by l.. J. Col
umbus and wife and sister, and
while the origin is unknown the fault
is laid to defective flue, and the cold
weather demanding such hot fires as
to be dangerous.
Mrs. j. A. Graves was the nrst to
give the alarm. So rapid was the
spreading OF the Gre, that the inmates
in the western end of the building
we're forced to fee for their lives, IN
able to save any of their household
furniture. Mr.. Columbus was the
heaviest loser, being unable to save
anything, and his loss will amount
to about $4,000, and the loss of Mrs.
Columbus sister, who was visiting
them, will amount to about $500
The loss Of MIR. and Mrs. Graves who
lived on the second floor, will amount
} to about 5000, being a portion o
their household furniture. Mr.. anc
Mrs. Ralph e. Rowley we're able e
save but little Of their household
effects and their loss will aggregate
: about 1900. The loss OF Mr.
: and Mrs. B. F. Hoover ls small, be
ing about 800, owing to the fac
that they we're able to remove tn

IN DEFENSE OF SMooT
Hopkins Says He Should Retain
His Seat,

His Seat.
Washington, Jan. u. - The first
speech in defence of he tight OF Reed
Smoot TO a seat in the senate Was de-
livered today by Senator Hopkins Of
Illinois. Senator Hopkins took the
position that senators were not federal
officers TO the extent that the senate
could pass upon their qualifications
and eligibility or impeach them for
high crimes or misdemesnors. II q
senator was to be punished II must be
done by the state or federal courts.
Only the federal officers, be main
tanned, were npeachable, and this
impeachment must be for acts com
mitted as such federal officers.
The precedent CITED was the unsuc
cessful effort to impesch Senator
Bluunt of Tennessee, charged with
reasonable correspondence With .
foreign nation, more than 100 year
ago. The conclusion, Senator Hop
kins said, bad never been reversed
and that was that the senate had n'
right to try the case IA Senator BlOun
was not an officer of the United States
Senator Hopkins said 1t was I'm
necessary for him TO multiply eyi
dence to demonstrate bis point tha
individual states have no power +
add any qualification 10 a senator othe
than those prescribed by the feeders
constitution.
