RESTRICTIONS PLACED ON THE

No Change In the Rule About the
Marriage Of Catholics to Non-cath.
olics Except That a Priest
Must Officate.

Kansas City, Mo, March 17.-The
new Catholic marriage law, which
goes into effect Easter, will do much
to prevent secret marriages and elop,
ment, priests of the church say. It
not only provides that the persons to
be married must sign an engagement
contract in the presence OF witnesses,
but that the marriage must be per-
formed by the parish priest where
the persons reside or, IL another
priest is called for any reason, the
parish priest must know of the mar
riagc.
II the persons live in different par.
ishes the priest of the parish 20
which the bride belongs has the pref.
erence. A person must live at least a
month in a parish in order to gain a
residence there. When persons apply
to a priest for marriage It is his duty
to ascertain If they have complied

sponsible and may be punished by

the bishop II he fails to obey the
law.
In case one or both of the persons
cannot write the fact is to be stated
in the engagement contract The
wedding is to be recorded in the
parish register where 1t takes place
and the priest is to send a Motif
cation TO the parish where the per-
sons were baptized, even II this be in
a foreign country, and the marriage
is to be recorded there also.
The church will recognize only
marriages performed by a priest. Mar.

nized

estigation to determine the value Of
the deposits
The commission advises that this
work is now being done by the in
terror department
The commission did not go over
the entire area Of the surface lands
to determine the value, but took the
statements Of those who were in po-
sition TO know by reason OF their
long residence there.
From the best Information OBJ
tainablc,," the commission reports,
we arrived az the conclusion that
these lands were not Of very great
value per acre for farming purposes.
The settlers who are Hing on and
farming the lands place an estimate
upon the entire area Of about $500
per acre. Col McAlestcr, who Is a
member Of the state corporation
commission. told the United States
senatorial committee that not TO ex-
coed one.half Of the lands were
suitable for agriculture. and that the
value OF the lands which were would
probably be- from $40 To $12 While
the commission does not pretend TO
riN the price value. We feel It would
Dee safe To say that it would
not exceed an aoragc of s. per
acre. and might be- considerably less.
"Thc coal deposits in the scgre-
gated area are exceedingly valuable
and It has been estimated that there
is considerably more than 2ooO.0o0
tons of coal. but the same experts
/ who made this estimate also esti
mate that 1t would take seernl hun.

given in order to ascertain its value
and that IL would not be beyond the
reach OF the state to pmchase II.
The commission quotes at some
length from the report OF the Unit
ed States senatorial committee inves-
tigation. and shows that from March
!. 1900, to June 30, 1906, at Sc roy
atty per ton. mine run. there was
mined 1G,Oi7,S79.O9 tons, and that
the royalty collected was s1,3Si,1S7-
%, which also included certain back
royalty.
The commission believes" they
state, that the royalty to be derlv-
ID from these lands should be con
slderahly in excess Of the average
Of this statement. We believe that
the development of the country and
the establishment Of industries in
the state will create a greater de-
mand for this coal. We believe also
| that If the coal fields can be under
the control OF the state that prices
TO the citizens would be decreased
/ az least oncthird and still bring the
same royalty. We are reliably in
| formed that the cost per ton of min
/ ing this coal was from 1925 to not
/ exceed g. per ton, and If the state
/ controlled the fields. the cost to the
| consumer would not exceed s. per
/ ton, whereas, now Il Is as high as
I 81. We are informed that many OF
the farmers in the western part of
the state can not afford to burn
coal because Of its exorbitant price
1T is reasonably certain that in
other parts Of the state there are
extensive coal deposits which will
some time come into competition
with the coal from the segregated
area, but we believe the former car
not now be profitably worked, be
cause they are located in the ga.
fields
The commission does not attemp
to fix the value Of the segregation
but believes there are millions o
dollars Of value in the coal deposits
mt the same time recognizing tha
it would require hundreds of year
for production. The commission as
sumcs that there are 100000 acre
of tho land, the surface of which 1
} worth s. per acre, making a tota
| value of $2.220,000 for the surfac,
"If the royalty to be derived fror
l this land" the report says. "shoul
e nual royalty of 100000. this /
! twenty-five years would amount I
$7.50O,O00 which would equal IN
! amount of the principal and interes
1t 4 per cent For that period tn
principal would be S3,750000, or tn
l. amount which the state could no
g afford to pay for the coal and a
% phalt deposits. Adding to this tn
= s., 200. 900, We would have tot,
. of $5.97O,OOO. The commission doe
not give this statement as bein
the value of the property, but use
| it as an illustration to show ho'
| in their opinion, the value should b
| arrived at"
| The commission says It believe
that much time and labor should ye
be given to the study of this are
before any proposition is sought t
be made. In addition it also SUI
gests that the commission shoul
have the assistance of both practica
and technical experts in making
detailed inspection of the prope
ties.
