CHURCH OPPOSED TO
RUM FOR DIPLOMATS
Reused by Bryan's Talk, Pres.
byterians Adopt Resolution
on Subject.

Atlantic City, N. j., May ga con-
9emnation of the use of intoxicants by
diplomatic representatives of the
united States in foreign lands was the
feature today OF the closing session Of
the 1880 general assembly Of the Pres
pyterian church. A resolution was
passed by reclamation calling on the
secretary of state to discourage the use
Oh intoxicants both here and abroad.
Inns action was taken as q result Of
remarks alleged to have been made by
william j. Bryan at a temperance
meeting here last night, in which he is
reported to have said that on his visit
10 south American countries he had
found that apparently the thief bust
ness OF the diplomatic corps was "ab-
sorbing liquor"
We, OF the United States, don't have
10 keep our representatives drunk in
order 10 persuade them to do their
WORK. Mr.. Bryan Is alleged to have
said. This aroused the members OF
the assembly and the following resolu-
ton was adopted:
Whereas, We, as a nation, have
abolished the use Of Intoxicating bever-
ages from both houses of congress and
our army and navy. and
whereas, The example Of this ma
lion mas powerful influence over
other nations, therefore be II,
Resolved, That the general assem-
bly, hereby petitions the authorities to
discountenance the use Of Intoxicating
liquors at all diplomatic functions at
nome and abroad and that copy of
these resolutions be sent to the secre-
tary Of state"
The assembly adjourned to meet In
Louisville, KY, next year.

PORTUGAL: IS SCORED
IN POPE'S ENCYCLICAL
Vatican Sternly Rebukes lire.
igious Tendencies of the
Republic.

Rome, May 30.-An encyclical letter
addressed by Pupe Plus 60 the Roman
Catholic bishops throughout the world,
strongly deploring the anti-regligious
attitude of the government of the
Portuguese republic, was officially pub
llshed at the vatican today.
The enclycical deals with the violent
expulsion OF religious orders from
Portugal; the suppression of church
holidays for the religious oaths and re-
ligious teachings; the Introduction Of
divorce laws; the arbitrary deposition
of the bishops of Oporto and Beta, and
finally the law separating church and
state.
The Holy See. the encycIical SAYS.
has been patient up to now, but cannot
longer keep silent as the law OF separa-
ton denies to Catholic citizens even
common liberties. Such law, the
encyclical asserts, Is spoliation of
material goods and tyrannical oppres-
sion in spiritual affairs. Man Is de-
prived forever Of fixed church in
which to worship; the law even violates
the will Of testators.
Ecclesiastics. the encyclical declares,
further are excluded by the law from
organizations of cult. 1t prohibits the
publication of ecclesiastical acts; 1t for
bids religious emblems; it encourages
rebellion and the corruption Of the
clergy; pensioning those who have
been punished by bishops or those liv-
ing with women.
Law aims to detach the Portuguese
church from Rorue. the encyclical says
IN conclusion, and therefore the pope
condemns it as null. 1t having no value
against the inviolable rights of the
church.

Today as constitutional by the supreme
court of the United States. This de-
|cision was announced by Justice

Ipany.
The act made 1t unlawful for any
common carrier engaged in interstate

]ect to the act to remain on duty for a
longer period than Is consecutive hours,
pr any telegraph opera.or more than
pine or 13 hours, according to the time

frected by the statute. In this par
ocular, he said, 1t differed from the
employers liability law of 1906.
