Resolution Adopted by Pennsy|.
Vania Labor Federation.

Newcastle, Pa, March 1.-THE

Stuart to use their best efforts to com.

FRANCE GETS LITTLE
FROM CHURCH SALES
Most Of the Receipts Ate Up
by Expenditures

Paris, March 11.-No further arrests
have been made in connection with
the scandal developed in the discov-
cry of a shortage of something like
100000 in the accounts of M. Duez,
one of the liquidators of the church
properties taken over by the state.
The severe criticism of the judicial
authorities for the lax control exer-
cised over the liquidators continues,
however, and the prosecuting attor-
ney's Office especially is being attacked
sharply.
The Journal gives some interesting
figures regarding the deterioration of
the property of non-authorized congre-
cations and teaching orders which
former Premier Waldeck-Rousseau
originally estimated would realize
$500, 100000 for the state. After in
ventories had been made the esti-
mated figures were reduced to $780,
100000 and subsequently to $50,OO0,-
900 when the church issued decree
of accommodation against the pur-
chasers. AS a matter of fact the
gross receipts thus far from this prop
erty amount to only $19,OOO,OOO, Of
which sum $13,200,OO0 has been ex-
pended in the adjudication of claims
against the property and in other
costs, including attorneys fees, ex-
penditures and commissions to the
liQuidatOrs.

San Francisco, March ia sharp
earthquake, in some parts of the state
the severest shock since the big one
of 1906, was experienced throughout
the central part of California.
The vibrations were long and undu.
latory, but slow, and the duration as
usually given from one and half to
four seconds. From reports received
the shake was felt as far south as San
Luis Obispo, but did not appear to ex-
tend far north of San Francisco The
pronounced heavy movements with a
slight interval of undulations between
were felt, but no damage has been re.
ported.
In San Francisco the people were
generally aroused and in the Western
Union Office virtually every operator
left his key, which caused a report to
come from Portland that some of the
San Francisco wires had been inter

Causes Alarm in Theaters.
In two of the local theaters, where
the last act was closing, scores of peo-

them there was decided movement
from the galleries toward the exits
which was promptly stopped by a pc
iceman. In an Oakland theater also
number of tinid persons started for
the doors of the theater, but cries of
"sit down" promptly stopped them.
But for the presence of mind Of an
actress the earthquake would have
caused a panic at the Garden theater
at San Jose. The people in the build.
ing jumped up and started to jam the
entrance, but were quoted when she
commanded them to sit down and went
on with the performance. About half
the audience remained throughout the
play, but the other half left the thea
