LAW
Of SEPARATION
SCORED BY POPE
Says Catholic Citizens Are De-
med Even More Common
Liberties.

ROME, May 2O.-An e~ncyclical ad-
dressed by Pope Plus to the Roman
Catholic bishops throughout the world
strongly deploring the anti-religious at
titute of the government of the Portu-
guese Republic was officially published
at the Vatican today.
The encyclical deals with the violent
expulsion of religious orders from Por-
tugal: the suppression Of church holt
days. religious oaths and religious
teaching; the introduction of di-
vorce laws; the arbitrary deposition Of
the bishops of Oporto and Beja, and,
finally. with the law separating church
and state.
The Holy See. the encyclical says, has
been patient up TO now, but cannot
longer keep silent, as the law of separa-
ton denies to Catholic citizens evon
common liberties.

GOV. WILSON TO
RESUME DUTIES
ON MONDAY NEXT
Will Give Hearings on Several
important Bills in Short
Time. /
Especial to the Newark start

TRENTON, May 80. - Governor
Woodrow Wilson. who has been absent
from the State since May 8. will return
to his desk al the State House next
Monday morning and will Immediately
resume executive business. One Of the
most important things to be done viii
be to give the hearings on the score or
more of bills still In his hands. most
Of which have met with opposition and
were not, on that account, disposed of
with the others.
Secretary Tumulty will be at the
State House Wednesday and will hen
fix the schedule for these hearings so
the bills will all be arranged when the
Governor gets here. One of the bills
to be considered repeats the present
law for the election of county COM
mittee at the primaries, this measure
having been put through the Legis-
lature by the bosses after having peer
introduced by the machine men of
Hudson county.
Two Liquor HiIIs.
The two liquor bills being opposed by
the church people will also be given
hearings.
One permits liquor to be delivered In
dry territory and the other, the
church people claim, will make 1t prac-
tically impossible to convict a saloon
keeper on the charge of selling to
minors The annual appropriation bill
is one of the bills yet to be considered,
but, of course, a hearing will not be
given on this.
1t wat the Governors plan, originally,
to return to the State House today,
but he accepted invitations to speak
this week in both North and South
Carolina, Ind this will delay his re-
turn.

by a recent act also highway commits
sioner, has started mandamus proceedings
straining order against the county COM
missoners. The suit is an attempt by
Mcbride TO get the commissioners to recog-
nize his authority as highway commits
sioner
The temporary order which contains the
same conditions as those sought perma-
nently by the county surveyor restraints
the board from employing any supervisor
OF labor on the roads. allowing any bills
or making any repairs without his ap-
provsl.
The Injunction is set for a permanent
hearing before Judge Kennedy Friday
morning.
In his petition the new highway commits
sioner alleges that the commissioners have
appointed John c. Holt foreman. with
out his approval and that they threaten
not to recognize him in the future in this
matter. Also that the commissioners are
repairing the Center street road without
any specifications from him. and in a hap
hazard manner. The holes in the pave
ment, he says, are simply being filled with
broken rock without either a bed or a sur
face being laid,
An expenditure of $4,000 on roads and
bridges Will be required in the next six

expend without his approval
