CARDINAL IS CENSURED
INCITED TO STRIFE BY BAN.
MING TEXT BOOKS.
Archbishop of Rheims Mulcted in
500 Damages in Suit Brought
by Teachers.

RHEIMS, France, February 26-The
text of the Judgment rendered by the
civil tribunal against Cardinal Ludwig
Lucon. Archbishop of Rheims. who was
condemned to pay 500 damages to the
Ppblc School Teachers Association for
having signed an episcopal letter forbid
ding the use by Catholic students of GER
tain public school text books, was pub
lshed today.
The decision declares every complaint
OF the teachers to have been justified
and says that in some isolated COM
munes, where religious intolerance ap-
proaches fanaticism, the episcopal letter
aroused such hate against the public
school teachers as to cause them to be
subjected TO brutalities.
The court cites an instance where an
attempt was made to starve a woman
teacher. In another case garbage was
thrown into the we'll from which the
school obtained its water supply
The judgment asserts that the letter
failed of the sympathy OF many p.iests
and of some bishops and quoted the words
of the Bishop Of Nice. who declared pub
licly that he could not join in an inci.e-
ment TO civil strife. and, who on the con-
trary, urged Catholic parents. as Chris
tians, TO give their support TO the teach
ers.
In conclusion the judgment explains
thar the wide publicity given to the
litigation bas afforded the teachers the
moral Satisfaction demanded and that as
Cardinal Lucon's high character freed him
from the imputation that his action had
been inspired by base motives, material
damages of 500 only were assessed, the
defendant being condemned further to
the costs.

presented TO the congressional commit

that outcry against the cold storage

assertions: The cold storage warehouse

Murphy Before Under Arrest.

The magistrate asked Murphy if he had
ever been arrested before. Murphy hesi-
tated. Before he could reply police rec
ords were produced which showed that he
had been arrested several years ago on
charge Of selling policy
At this juncture Murphy interrupted
the proceedings to say that he had not
understood the magistrates question. He
admitted he had been arrested, but had
been discharged.
Assistant District Attorney William "a.
Gray, in pleading with the magistrate to
hold Murphy in heavy bail, called atten-
ton to present conditions In the city, and
declared that the utteTances of Murphy
were serious enough to hold him on the
charge of melting to riot.
Murphy's counsel denied that Murphy
had committed any offense and asked tor
his discharge. The magistrate, however,
held him for the action of the grand jury.
After the hearing Murphy said:
Il stand for everything the newspaper
men said. l have nothing to take back.
They can go their limit on what / said
Conditions were quiet throughout the
city up to noon. Nothing beyond scat
tered stoning of cars Is reported from
anywhere.
The transit company says 1t is operat-
ing more cars on all lines. Strike leaders
report the situation satisfactory to them.
