CARDINALS ACTS SCORED.
Archbishop of Rheims Criticised IN the
Judgment Against Him.

Rheims. France Feb. 26.-The text of the
judgment rendered by the civil tribunal
against Cardinal Ludoyig Lucon. Arch
bishop of Rheims, who was condemned 10
pay 800 damages TO the Public School
Teachers Association for having signed an
episcopal letter forbdding the use by Cath
olic students of certain public school text
books, was published to-day.
The decision declares every complaint of
the teachers to have been justified. and
says that in some isolated communes where
religious intolerance approaches fanaticisn
the episcopal letter aroused such hate
against the public school teachers as 10
cause them 10 be subjected 10 real brutali-
ties. The court cites an instance where an
attempt was made to starye woman
teacher, and another case where garbage
was thrown into the well from which the
school obtained its water supply.
The judgment asserts that the letter failed
OF the sympathy of many priests and of
some bishops. and quoted the words of the
Bishop of Nice who declared publicly that
he could not join in an Indictment to civil
strife. On the contrary, lie urged Catholic
parents as Christians to give their support
10 the teachers. In conclusion, the judg
ment explains that the wide publicity given
to the litigation has afforded the teachers

as Cardinal Lucon's high character freed

A BOOM IN RUBBER
all SHARES RISING.
Great Rush of Investors IN
English Capital.
rRv Cable to Tho Tribune.l ]

r,don Feb 26-OutSide or politics
the absorbing question of interest to men
in tha City is the boom in rubber
sbaras There has been nothing like it
ei,oa tho KafIir circus, fifteen years ago.
coor,s of rubber companies have been
formed in the last ten years in the Brit
isb and the Dutch East Indies, Ceyion,
Sumatra. North Borneo, the Straits Set
Elements, the Malay States. the victoria
Nvanza region. Liberia and tropical
America. and now all shares nave risen
end Drospectuses of new corporations
are issued with all the emotional enthu-
siasm Of the high noon of the Kaftir ex
citement. The statistics of receipts. re-
exports and the home consumption OF
crude rubber reveal the enormous IN
crease in it's commercial use.
The streets are not yet p* we'd with
rubber blocks, as enthusiasts forming
new companies in the City say Will soon
be done. but the growth Of the motor
trade has largely increased the demand
for raw material, more Of it going into
tires than into boots and shoes or water
proofing or hose.
Yet the demand while greatly ell
larged. scarcely justifies the inflated
prices now ruling for company shares,
good, bad or Indifferent, in the specula-
tive rush for new issues. The premium
on the II shares of some of the best
companies has risen from II to 30 shll-
lings within a few weeks, and the null
tiplication of rubber issues is out Of
proportion to the relations OF oe-
mand and supply. There seems to be no
limit to the elasticity of rubber shares.
Investors, large and small, are after
them. and the speculation is helped along
by the fact that from f1OOO0OOO to
f12,OoO.OOO in income taxes is not yet
collected.

CARRY ARMS ALMOST AT WILL.
Berlin Has No Ordinance Forbidding
Dangerous Custom.
LFrom q tribune Correspondent.

Berlin. Feb. l6.-In America il is generally
assumed that the law against the un-
authorized carrying Of arms is more gen
orally and more severely enforced in Ger
many, that land of order, than it is in the
United states, but the assumption is
quite a fallacious one, for just the CON
tTary is the case. The German code has
no provision forbidding the custom and
leaves the matter entirely to police or
dinances in individual, cities They can
forbit il or not, just as they sec fit.
In Berlin any one can carry pistol
out infringing any law or ordinance, nor
requiring license from the police for
permission 10 do SO. Nothing happens TO
any one, in consequence. who is found with
arms on his person. The result is that
every member of the criminal classes.
toughs and loafers and undesirable citizens
generally, go armed and use weapons upon
the slightest proyocation.
When ! asked high police official why
such q state of affairs existed he replied
that for the present If was not contem-
plated forbidding the carrying of arms.
because responsible persons ought not
10 be hindered acquiring or carrying a
weapon for self-defence,
A shrug Of the shoulders was the only
answer to the question whom the Berlin
police regarded As responsible and peace
full citizens

Treasury show that even now, within six
weeks or so Of the end OF the financial

only about half the amount that had been

the corresponding date the amount was

revolutionary activity on her part. will
merely point out alleged errors in the in

Prince Eristoffs presence will be mere
