MODERN" PRIEST SUSPENDED
Father M. r. Es=mEsersley of Chatham
Loses Place Becaus Of
His Views.

LONDON, Nov. 20. - (special)-Ir
theological and Roman Catholic church
circles a mild sensation has been caused
by the suspension Of another ~well-known
priest on the charge OF modernism. -
This time II is Father w. r. Hammers
ley Chatham, and, curiousiy enough. the
action was taken by the bishop of South
wark, on whose petition Father Tyrrell,
late of the Society Of Jesus and now
one OF the leaders of the modernist move
ment, was accommodated a year ago.
The suspended priest was attached to
st. MichaeIs church and was the chap
lain of Borstal prison.
The action Of the bishop of Southwark
has become now to the public by means
of a circular letter which Father Ham
mersley has addressed to his friends ex-
planning the reasons for his suspension.
He describes first an interview with his
superior, in which the bishop Informed
him that he had been reported 70 have
expressed in conversation certain views
on theological matters by which he was
known as a modernist. The bishop de-
clared his intention OF forwarding to the
offending priest a document drawn up
from the encyclical "Pascendi," and that
he must either signify his adhesion or
suffer suspension.
Instead. however, the bishop wrote re-
moving Father Hammersley from the po-
sition of assistant diocesan inspector and
calling upon him to appear to answer,
In the presence OF witnesses, the accusa-
lions made against him. The priest re-
fused to appear on the grounds that no
one had the right to question him as to
his personal thoughts on certain theo-
logical statements. Whereupon he was
suspended. Subsequently the following
list OF questions was sent to him with
the statement that he would be rein
stated II he could give a satisfactory
answer to them:
Faith and theology are necessarily OPP
posed.
THE bodily resurrection of Christ Is u
myth, founded in great part upon a vision
of st. Paul, which hou not be taken
literally.
Christ rose from the dead in the same
sense In which all the saints have risen
from the dead.
be taken as a reality.
Even II Christ were not a historical
parsonage it would make no difference
THE idea Of Christ as a Irvine man is
old-fashioned.
"InfaIibility rests in the sensus
fidelium alone.
9Th inspiration of the Bible Is given
up.
mo one now believes in hell and the
DEVIL"
Father Hammersley was asked whether
he had said these things and II he be-
lieved them. He replied that they were
mostly ridiculous perversions Of mis-
words. There the matter rests at the
present moment. but there is a POSSIBLE
ity of more being heard of the matter,
as many of the suspended priests friends
are DESTROYS OF appealing to the bishops
superlors.

LEGAL TANeLE IN FIsA EIRM
Oregon Judge says Wages of Ftsher-
men Must Ne Regarded NJ
Prior Claim. -

PORTLAND. Ore, Nov. @.-The Even
ing Telegram today says:
II w. J. Chalmers. eastern receiver for,
A. Booth q Co, whose assets and liablll-
ties run into the millions, and the attor-
ncys for Chicago creditors should refuse TO
recognize the prior claims of Astoria fish,
ermen in the employ OF subsidiary con-
Germs Il is probable that the situation will
resolve itself into a legal battle Of national
note, with the federal court OF Oregon
pitted against the federal court OF Illinois.
Judge Wolverton OF the federal court of
oregon has issued what practically amounts
TO an ultimatum that unless wages due the.
Astoria employees are paid out Of, the $35, 900
tied up in state court proceedings by the
Girard National bank OF Philadelphia. and
recently released by order Of Federal Judge
Kohlsaat. the court viii not recognize the
rights OF Receiver Chalmers. Judge VOL
verton appointed Fred Barker OF, Astoria
receiver for the Oregon interests of the
corporation. "f
A salient feature Of the affair on which
the federal court of oregon relies in de-
manding the payment OF the $4,000, due the
Astoria fishermen before recognising the
rights OF Receiver Chalmers, is the dllega-
ton in the complaint that skilled laborers
are employed in conducting fishing oper-
atoms and that unless they are paid they
will cease work. As their places ANN be .
readily supplied, IL u alleged in the docu-
ment the failure to pay them would result
in the subsidiary concern going TO the wall,
whereas with ordinary business judgment Il
can reasonably be expected to, make a
profit of $4,000 annually. The petitioners
desire the property sold as an entirety or
as n going concern. sft A

carry away the prizes with the wheat
which will be sent, in the opinion OF r. w.
Thatcher, director of the state agricultural
station at Pullman, Wash, who has re-
turned to Washington after having been
in Omaha.
Director Thatcher has taken up the mat
ter Of making an exhibit at the National
Corn exposition in a systematic way with
the wheat producers in the famous valleys
of Washington and expects to see the prod

the wheat and oats are given the milling
test promised by the exposition manage
ment and said to be the fairest and only
test for these grains.
In the matter OF oats Washington and
some of the new oat sections Of the west
are destined to carry away the money and
trophies. The authorities of one Iowa ex-
pertinent station are responsible for the
statement that In that state a cereal mill
was closed for some time last year be-
cause the oats were so poor in that SEQ

The grain dealers of the west are espe-

they believe to be a terrible condition in
the oats crop situation. Prominent MEM

taken an interest in the exposition at
Omaha because they rave been wrestling
with the problem of what to do with oats
which weigh from eighteen to twenty-tour

GERMANS ARE %CL0SEMoUTHED
Decline 60 Furnish United States with
Figures of Cost of Manufac-
turing Goods.

BERLIN, Nov. 2a.-American consuls in
Germany are having slight success in OBJ
tanning replies from German manufacturer
respecting the cost Of production of their
wares. how wages are distributed, etc, az
all or nearly all have quietly combined TO
resist the inquiries which the consuls were
ordered to make for use by the house ways
and means committee in revising the tariff.
Under the North. German-American agree
ment, Chambers Of Commerce in Germany
may be referred to for authoritative valua-
tions and several OF the consuls in Prus-
sie sough to invoke this clause in their
efforts to obtain the information sought
for, but in each instance the chambers re-
ferred the questions to the minister Of
commerce. who replied that the data could
be given only through the Foreign office.
As a consequence, a formal request to the
state department on the subject has been
brought to the attention of Secretary Root
and remains under consideration at Wash
ington, where doubt seemingly exists
whether 1t is suitable that such an in
quiry should be made.
The usual argument by tho consuls lie
that the United States desires TO e~qualizn
the tariff by taking the costs OF produc-

revision strictly upon the difference, and
they affirm that II is to the interest Of
German manufacturers that they submit
the producing cost OF every article ex-
ported to the United States and thus avoid
the chance of congress pushing up the
tariff to an unreasonable lowell.
TIL Germans ordinarily reply that the
manufacturer OF no country can be ex-

nation about his business and that to
do SO would expose the exporter to two
da~ngers-that of his own statements being
used against him in American valuation
disputes and that of the schedules being
arranged against the German exporter be-
cause he may have been more truthful
than other European or American COM
petitors. The German official view seems
to be that the American congress is re-
vising the tariff solely in the interests OF
It's own people, while the affair is regarded
as a trap intended to work to the disad-
vantage of the German exporter.
ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. 29-The Amer
ican-Japanese agreement, which brings the
United States into the circle of accords

heartiest welcome in Russian circles, both
official and public.
The approval of the Russian government
was assured in advance of the publication
Of the agreement.

dor, acting on instructions from Washing
