BRITISH COMMONS
fAVORS new OATH
RedmOnd's Bill to Remove Cath
Ollie Disabilities Passes Its
Second Reading

LONDON, May IA comprehensive
bill for the removal of Roman Catholic
disabilities and providing for an altera-
ton in the accession oath of the Brit
ish sovereign was introduced by Will
liam Redmond in the house of commons
today
The bill passed its second reading
by vote of 1873 to 12s, but as it is not
a government measure. there is little
prospect OF it being passed at the pres
ent session The fact that a majority
of the house voted in favor of the
measure, however. is regarded as a
great victory for the Catholics. Al
though similar bills have been debated
on many previous occasions. this is the
first time that one has passed it's sec
ond reading
The Roman Catholics never have
ceased to inveigh against the insult
ing references in the monarch's ac-
cession declaration to certain beliefs as
superstitious."
The opposition that hitherto had de-
feated any effort to alter the oath
showed up again today when a petition
signed by 100000 persons against the
removal Of Roman Catholic disabili-
ties was handed in just before Red
mond rose
Redmond's bill not only removes
what is regarded as the Objectionable
portion of the oath of accession, but
1t repeats the acts prohibiting residence
and the acquisition Of property by the
Jesuits and other monastic orders, and
abolishes the disqualification which
prevents Catholics from filling the Of
fees of lord chancellor of Great Brit
ain and lord lieutenant of Ireland.
Premier Asquith gave his cordial
support to the bill

YANKEE INGENUITY
OUTWITS PROUODON
Like Story of Old Spain Is the
WOOing of Pretty SenOrita
by Dashing American

Teeming with the romance of Cas-
tile and Aragon and frightened with
the ingenuity of a love smitten Yam
kee is the tale of the adventures into
which Dan Cupid has led Harry Clarke,
cashier and book keeper in the quarter
masters department at Vancouver bar
racks, Wash, and his petite wife, who
was Esteile Louisa dAvilez. descend
ant of SPANS proudest aristocracy.
They have just been reunited in this
city.
whispered words of love, a secret
wedding in Manila, the maledictions Of
an enraged uncle, the abduction of the
bride by this same uncle and her rescue
from a convent by her heartsore but
determined spouse are but a few of
the exciting incidents in the marital
affairs of Clarke and the pretty little
senorita.
WEALTHY OLD UNCLE
Had Clarke been a Spanish don he
would have wooed and won Senorita
d'Avilez with all the sentiment and
foppery of the ancient cavalier, nor
would there have been such a commo-
ton on the part of her uncle, Don
Vincente Condo dAvilez, who has
amassed great wealth by growing to-
bacco in the Philippines and South
America
That Clarke had been with the
American army of occupation in the
Philippines did not tend to endear. him
to the uncle and the father of Estelle
Louisa. With her it mattered not that
the United States instead of Spain
ruled the islands She knew that her
heart had gone out to the handsome
American and she felt sure she had
his securely in her possession.
Dividing his time between the
quartermaster department and the bu-
reau of customs in the insuiar civil
service Clarke did his mite in read
justing affairs in the Philippines. But
in 1905 he caught a glimpse of pretty
senorita who was attending the Santa
Ysabel college in Manila She, too,
had seen. and Cupid carried their mes
sages back and forth.

still indignant because of the unde-
sirable match, had abducted the bride
and placed her in a convent.
finally learned in which part of the
convent his wife was kept a prisoner
and one night stole to the shade of the
building with ladder and rescued her
When the couple were reunited the
Spanish uncle and the Spanish father
decided that further interference would
be unavailing. Soon afterward Don
Vincente returned to Spain, and last
year the father died from the result
of injuries he had received in resist
ing the Americans in Manila in 1898.
Clarke was transferred from Ma
Mia to Vancouver barracks last fall,
but his wife did not arrive here until
Thursday. Clarke was on the dock
awaiting the arrival of the transport
Logan. There was a glad welcome
and assurances that never again should
they be parted. They will leave for

MORSE IS PROSECUTED.
His Wife Says the Banker Has Been
Badly Used.

New York, May 24.-Mrs Clementine
Morse. wife of Charles w. Morse, the
former banker, asserts . in an interview
here that long ago persons high in pow
er vowed that they would ruin her hus-
band and that they have kept their VOW
against Justice and truth. Mrs. Morse
declared that government officials had
boosted also that they would cause
Morse's downfall, but Mrs. Morse said
that she did not then believe the courts
could be used as a party to the plans of
her husbands enemies.
How many people know that my hus-
band has paid every dollar owed to every
depositor in the Bank of North America? 20
she asked adding: "Of an Indebtedness
of 100000 more than s5.0OO,O00 has been
paid and If Mr.. Morse had his liberty he
would not owe a penny today. 1t is in
credible to me that a court can be used
to destroy a mans property and his fam
lily be made to suffer"
Mrs. Morse said she had sold her Jew
elry gladly to pay the claims against her
husband and one claim against her which
was absolute blackmail, but which was
paid to avoid notoriety. Practically all
of the furnishings of the handsome
house at 72s Fifth avenue Mrs
Morse said: had been sold for the
benefit of the creditors and the house
was about to be sold over her head
