ANDRIEN IS CHEERED.
Cardinal Charged with Inciting Breach
of the Laws by Allocution Is
Popular with People.

BORDEAUX. June 14.-When Car
dinal Andrieu appeared in court today
to answer the summons Of the judge
charging him with having melted a
breach of the laws by the allocutionj
which he pronounced at the cathedral
on the occasion of his enforcement, he
was acclaimed by an immense crowd
of Catholics. The cardinal told the
Judge that he came as an act of cour-
tesy, not because he recognized the COM
petence of the court. He said he had
spoken as a bishop and that he was
answerable only to his conscience, the
Pope and God, and declared that he
assumed full responsibility for his words,
in which he maintained the right to dis
trust the laws of the republic when
these were prejudicial to the free exer-
else of religion. When the cardinal
emerged from court he was again ac-
claimed. Women fell on their knees and
kissed his ring, while the young Catho-
lies cheered.
