CHICAGO, Ill, Nov. s.--A big tour
ing car with four passengers, two
women and two men, plunged into an
open draw at the Jackson Boulevard
Bridge last night at II o'clock and all
were drowned. The accident was wit
messed by A. E. Bertling, who, with
his wife and couple of friends, were
in another automobile at the side OF
the boulevard waiting for the bridge
to be closed. None of the bodies have
been recovered and their names are
not known
According to DR.. Bertling, there was
no guard chain or policeman at the
opening. He was barely able to see
that the bridge was open, the night
being foggy. AS the car dashed by
him he shouted to the driver that the
bridge was open. The chauffeur did
not hear him, for the car did not slack
en- speed.
DR.. Bertling ran to the edge of the
draw and In the darkness saw man
and woman struggling in the water
below. They were screaming for help
DR.. Bertling rushesd to the bridge tend
er. He shouted to him to throw out
life preservers. The man had them
lashed to the side of his room and

CHURCH AND SCHOOL.
DRIFTING APART
French Catholics and the Public
Schools Disagree and the Stu
alton Is Acute.

PARIS, Nov. S.-The situation re-
sulting from the French Episcopal
declaration Of war against the public
schools and the effort to mobilize the
Catholic voters for the coming general
election is rapidly entering an acute
stage. Manager Gely and other bish-
ops have publicly forbidden Catholic
parents to send their children to pub
lie schools II Catholic schools are
available, and parents everywhere are
urged to refuse to allow their children
to use the interdicted text books.
Considerable demoralization of the
schools has been caused already. M,
Deumergue, minister Of public insti.
tuition, has ordered an investigation OF
the station, which probably will de-
termine the governments ultimate at
titude. The decision of the Teachers
Association, comprising 100000 mem
bers, to test In the courts the church't
right to interfere with the public
schools will be followed by damage
suits Instituted by the authors OF the
interdicted textbooks. Mgr. Dabourg

just issued, declares that Catholi,
voters must rally to the protection o

that it is a religious duty to vote fo

that the bitter arguments between the

Congo QUESTION
Being DISCUSSED
Sir Conan Doyle is the Leader in the
Movement TO Force Intervention
in the Congo Where King
Leopold is Cruel.
SIS the Big Mass Meeting Tonight
in London, the Socialists Of
Brussels Also Meet and De
nounce the King.

LONDON Nov. S.-Sir A. Conan
Doyle is the leader in movement to
force government intervention in the
Congo and will preside at a great
mass meeting at Newcastle tonight,
when the Congo campaign will be
formally launched. This meeting will
be followed by larger one in London
on November 10. The distinguished
novelist believes that these meetings,
at which all the terrible atrocities per-
petrated in the Congo will be laid
bare, will result in exciting public
opinion to such a high pitch as to de-
mand government action. Sir Conan
says:
"Once the people of England know
the facts and have heard the state
ments of eye-witnesses and seen the
photographs Of mutilated men, wom-
en- and children am sure they will
rise with us and put an end to these
crimes.
"The government cannot do any
thing until the people Of the country
are enlightened as to the real horrors,
and stand behind the government as a
driving force. i wish the public to CO.
| operate and call for an end to this
long orgy Of blood, lust and greed.
Il have a photograph Of a poor black
child, with mutilated hand and leg.
We stand for the murdered ar maim-
I ed men, women and q idren OF the
4 Congo, and this Isl a heart call to the
u men and women Of England. This
country took a most solemn pledge
4 When t. Congo Free State was Great
ed, and one article of that treaty was
that we bound ourselves in the name
of the Almighty God with a solemn
oath to watch over the preservation OF
4 the native races, and the amelioration
Of the moral and material conditions
of their existence.
What have we done to keep that
/ pledge? Millions of natives have
been wiped out, and many Others
manned and hacked and tormented
without any civilized power raising q
hand to save them.
1T is significant fact that the her
aldic shield Of Antwerp, to which city
most of the rubber from the Congo il
sent contains a bloody hand, severed
at the wrist. Mr.. Harris, the secre
tary of the Congo Reform Association
has been missionary for many years
in the Congo When asked to give evi
dence before commission he hai

"A third of the whole population O.
the Congo, which formerly contained

The question is: Are cold-bloodet
and infamous men to continue tt

misery?"
