would have gained him some sympathy
and assistance. Had some of MS un-
doubted energy been expended in fore
ing upon his tribes the knowledge that
Morocco can be no longer altogether
closed, his position would have been
far more satisfactory than it is today.
Good Market Promised
Morocco is bound to realize the des-
tiny put upon it by geography and to
become Europeanized, or at any rate
dependency of Europe. To bring about
that change appears to be the mission
of France. The country is rich in re-
sources and will be a good market.
European goods will exchange freely
for the products of Morocco. French
will be widely spoken and understood.
The ancient remains will be well
mapped. Some French industries and
some British and German industries
will thrive on the export of their prod
ucts to Morocco, and the country VIII
become more civilized.

TOLEDO, Ohio, Jan. 29.-Heavy PEN
alties were imposed by Judge r. w.
Taylor in the federal court today, on
the prominent members of the Ohio
band of Black Handlers found guilty of
conspiracy to use the mails to eXtort
money from Italians living in Ohio and
Indiana The jury reported this
morning.
Salvatore Lima of Marion, the chief
of the band, was sentenced to sixteen
years Imprisonment. Sebastian Lima,
his brother, and Giuseppe Ignoffo, his
brother-in-law were sentenced to ten
years Imprisonment each. All of these
lived in Marion, where the headquar-
ters for the operations were main
tanned.
All of the nineteen defendants were
found guilty, but the court granted
new trials to Agostini Martisi of Dem

The force of deputy marshals, who
have guarded the court room through
out the trial, had been strengthened
and the court room was not allowed TO

Courts Explanation
In sentencing Lima, Judge Taylor
said:
you seem to have been the moving
spirit in this nefarious business. Be-
bastian Lima seems to have borne
somewhat less part than his brother,
and Ignoffo has been part of the
heart and center
The Jury to which the case was given
last night returned it's verdict at 1880

Question of Purchase of Farnese Pal-

Exciting Interest in
Paris
Lspeclal cable.to The Herald

PARIS, Jan. 29.-Reference has been
made recently to the increasing inter
est taken by the Roman Catholic party
in social problems, more especially as
concerns the intervention of the arch
bishop of Paris in favor of the agi-
tation against the night work of
bakers.
The other day the Comte de Num-
whose disinterested labor on behalf
of the working classes is generally
recognized presented a delegation
from the Workingmen's Roman
Catholic clubs, of which he is the
founder, to the archbishop of Paris to
assure him of their loyalty to the Ro-
man Catholic church and their appre-
citation of his efforts to influence pop
ular opinion in favor of the abolition
Of night work for bakers. The same
tendency is illustrated by bill Just
laid before the chamber of deputies
by the Comte de Nun to establish
a minimum wage for working men
and women whose work is done at
home. This bill has been drafted by
a committee on .'social Catholics" and
is to a great extent inspired by the
efforts made in England to deal with
the sweating system. The abuses
arising from the sweating system are
almost as great in France as they are
in England
Political Action Denied
On being asked as to whether he was
not afraid lest the intervention of Ro-
man Catholics in favor of a. number of
the claims put forward by the syndi-
Gates or trade unions, might not be
suspected of concealing political de-
signs, the Comte de Nun replied:
1--WE do not deserve such an insult
For more than thirty years 1 have de-
Tended the cause of the people, which
the Roman Catholic church has al
ways defended. Leo XIII in his en-
cyclical 'Rorum Nocarum' recalled this
tradition to those Roman Catholics
who had forgotten it. He showed
therein that the church, which the
people accuse of being their enemy, is
always ready to defend their rights
and the Justice of their claims. Do
not. 1 beg you, attribute such narrow
motives to us. AS for the elections,
we look higher and further when we
stretch out our arms to the proletariat
for a close alliance between the church
and people,
The Temps remarks: "The action
of Social Christians, however praise
worthy in principle, has little chance
of restoring the prestige of Roman
Catholicism in France. On the con-
trary, their Intervention, which VIII
not always perhaps be the result of
ripe reflection, is very likely to aggra-
vate instead of reducing economic con-
Aicts."
