FRENCH CATHOLICS HOPE FOR
FAVORABLE ACTION BY POPE
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
PARIS, April 23.-The Catholics of
France, especially the clergy, are anx-
iously awaiting a decision from the
pope regarding the establishment of
mutual aid societies for priests. These
societies, it is planned would not only
take over the property belonging to
certain pension funds for aged priests,
amounting to $4,000,00O, but, it was re-
ported in a recent amendment to the
recent church bill, they could accept
funds for masses.
Although no definite decision has
been promulgated from Rome, it is
unofficially reported the pope in con-
versation with certain French priests,
has expressed himself as disposed to
accept the new arrangement. Fear.
however, is expressed that the oppos-
ing element at the vatican may frus-
trate this new proposition to provide
a more secure future for the Catholic
priests of France.

A report is made by another promi-

No matter whether you call it kidney
trouble, Nephritis or Bright's disease,
it is a case of inflamed kidneys and as
the old time kidney medicines are kid

futile. Fulton's Renal Compound is
the first successful Renal emollient
thus reducing kidney inflammation
which is for the first time now durable
even in its serious forms.

Inspector Gregory's Fine
Work.

The escape of the notorious
veseman, Gus De Ford, at Cades,
in this county, some three years
ago, was in the circumstances
almost incredible without the con-
niyance of the officers who had
him in custody. A desperate man,
as he was known to be, should
have been guarded with extraor-
dinary vigilance and for that
reason, no doubt, two officers
were sent to take him to Charles
ton. a United States marshal and
his deputy.
The prisoner was handcuffed,
or supposed to be, and in this
condition he jumped through the
window of a moving train, es-
Gaping without injury. Although
immediate search was made he
disappeared as completely as
though the earth had swallowed
him up. Could he have accom-
plished this without help? The
theory is that by some means
the handouts were removed on
the train and by preconcerted
arrangement his friends were there
to hurry him away in the dark
ness, defying pursuit, even if it
had been undertaken seriously.
But whatever the means of De
Ford's escape he had matched
against him one of the shrewd
eat and most resourceful detec-
tives in the United States, Post
Office Inspector H. T.. Gregory.
Once in pursuit of fugitive GRIM
inal Mr. Gregory is as tireless as
a bloodhound on the track of his
quarry and it is seldom that he
fails to get his man.
If there were many more OIL
cials such as Inspector Gregory
the gentle art of robbing post
Offices would soon die a natural
death.
