GERMAN WARNING TO POPE
Chancellor Says Recent DEGREES of
Curia Are Resented.
WANT PREVIOUS CONSULTATION
Tone of Speech UnmistaEabIe--Cen
sure of Martin Luther Taken as
Attack on German Refor~
nation.

BERLIN. March -T-ses speech before
the diet today, Chancellor vun Bethmann-
Hollweg admonished the curia that per-
sistence in the recent tendency to the is
suance of decrees affecting Germany, with
out previous consultation with the gov
ernment, would lead to retaliation.
The speech was cautiously and diplo-
matically phrased, but it's tone could not
be mistaken. The announcement that the
chancellor would discuss the relations of
the government with the Vatican, as they
had been affected by the pope's require
ment that theological professors take an
anti-modernism oath, served to fill the
hall as it has been but rarely filled in its
history
Prussia, the chancellor said, was sin
cerely desirous of maintaining the present
peaceful relations with the Holy See, SO
long as such a course was consistent with
its interests and prestige. He believed the
pope was of the same mind, but various
DEGREES of the curia had been issued with
out that consideration for German condi-
tions which was Indispensable in maintain
ing the friendly status,

Resent Former Words.

The speaker cited as one of the objec-
tionable measures the encyclicals issued
in May last on the occasion of the tercen-
tennial Of the canonizauon Of Charles
BOrTomeo In these encyclicals the pope
in extoling Borromeo as the champion of
Catholicism against the Protestant re-
formation, said that he established at the
time OF the council Of Trent that the prin-
ciples of Catholicism had been undermined
by Martin Luther. The chancellor referred
to this as an attack on the German re-
formation.
The chancellor announced that teachers
taking the oath Of anti-modernism would
not be permitted in the future to teach
history or German in the middle schools.
The government likewise he said. would
consider the matter of the oath taking
when filling other state posts. He con-
cluded with the warning that II the Vat
ican continued to ignore the representa-
tions of the Prussian minister at the Holy
See such action might involve the aboli-
ton of the legation.

Details of the Vote.
The initiative and referendum bill was
first on the list OF bills for third reading
and was taken up soon after the morning
session began The first roll call stood
fifty seven to forty. Bushee changed Inn
mediately making 1t flfty-elght to thirty
nine. The call OF the house was begun and
Hospodsky Of Saline was the first abb
sentee to appear. He voted Aye, making
the record fifty-nine to thirty-nine. Nell
son Of Dodge, changed from aye to nay
and the vote for fifty eight to
forty Gerdes moved TO raise the call
but was defeated by vote Of flfty-six to
thirty-six. Soon after that while the
members were standing around in little
groups and the vets were making a des-
perate effort to hold their phalanx OF
opposition intact Doestal changed and
Kotouc followed shortly after. That set
tied the fate OF the bill.
The opposition explained the inconsistent
attempt to kill the initiative and referen-
dunn bill with the assertion that the senate

bill changes were beginning to come in,
proving that only few dared to remain
on record against the principle. Rev. p.
c. Johnson, member from Johnson county,
shouted out while the lamp holds out TO
burn, the vilest sinner may return"
The first ballot of 81 TO 70 showed that
the opposition was coming almost entirely
forl the wet democrats. There were only
five republicans in the forty and no votes
at the start. They were Prince, huffman,
Haller Eager and Clarke. The scheme that
has been brewing for the last few days
to pledge a number Of democrats TO kill
the house bill and then smAsculate the sen.
ate bill, fell through because the demo-
Gratis failed to hang together.
The house took up the question OF the
senate bill as soon as the house bill was
passed, and on motion OF Gerdes OF Rich
ardson the chairman OF the constitutional
amendments committee was instructed 10
report the bill out Immediately. and it vas
made a special order Of business for tomor-
row morning. The end OF the fight is not
yet disclosed as the senate must take up
the house bill and>it would not be strange
II II were killed there. A conference com,
mittee will be the next step 10 reach a
compromise.
County Option Bill Defeated.
County option failed in the house thiN
morning by one vote. AS soon as the initia-
tive and referendum was out OF the way
county option came up and the house pro-
cteded to vote upon II without debate
The first roll call showed 40 votes for II
and As against II. A call OF the house
brought In Clarke OF Cherry. who voted
aye, making the total 5 Oto ig. Il was evil
dent to everyone that asst he two alb
sentees, Regan and Sanborn. are declared

avail and the bin was given up. Fifty-one
votes would have carried II. The repub-
licans who voted against II we're Eager Of

Denounces Liehtfoot and Lane as Con-
spirators and Accuses Ramsey of
Being Their Accompice.
[By Associated Press.l

Austin, Texas, Nov. 25.-Governor
Colquitt, in an open letter to R. H.
Hopkins Of Denton, says:
Il am thoroughly satisfied that
Lightfoot and Lane are being used as
conspirators with the hope mat they
may harass and annoy me in my ad-
ministration. | am also OF the deliber-
ate opinion that Associate Justice
Ramsey, candidate against me for the
democratic nomination for governor,
is in their confidence and perhaps
among their advisors"
Referring to the letter of Assistant
Attorney, General 2. F. Caldwell, the
governor writes The comptroller
and the clerks in his office seem to be
devoting a good deal of their time to
letter writing in an effort TO create
the impression that they have not for
themselves the clerical help necessary
TO do the work of that office in that
office"
The governor says Hogg and Cul-
berson during their administrations
had the heaviest litigation in the
states history; that Hogg spent s44.-
144 in four years, while Lightfoot
wants $41,5SO a year.

ANOTHER ROAD FOR CALLAWAY
RumOr that Branch from PIeasantOn
ia to BE Extended Up the
LOup valley.

CALLAwAY, Neb., Aug. 13-(Special.)-
A rumor is now current to the effect that
the Union Pacific Railroad company is
contemplating the extension of It's branch
from Pleasanton to Galloway up the Loup
valley. Some twenty five years ago a grade
was made from Pleasanton up the South
Loup valley to a point one mile north
west Of Galloway, where 1t formed a juno
ton with the Kearney & Black Hills line
This grade still stands, though no work
has been done upon it since II was made.
The extension OF the Pleasanton branch TO
Galloway would pass through one of the
richest agricultural and stock countries
in central Nebraska, and there would be
no trouble 10 secure right-of-way in case
and change should be made from the old
grade. 1t is stated that one ranchman Of
fers a right-of-way for eleven miles across
his ranch. and will donate wo townsites
upon the ranch, besides s. lpg $4,000 in
cash. This extension. forming a junction
with the Kearney & Black Hills branch al
Galloway, would give the patrons a much
desired outlet for the east and would
shorten the distance TO Omaha and eastern
markets many hours.

Miners Imprisoned
By Fallen Roof Are
Sought by Rescuers
Faint Tapping Indicates Men Are
Alive When Comrades Start to
Dig Out Bodies.

POTTSVILLE. Pa, Aug. 1S.-Working by
relays and urged on by constant faint
tapping, a large party of rescuers is dig
ging frantically tonight into a mountain
of coal and rock to reach three entombed
anthracite mine workers, who were caught
behind a heavy fall of roof at 8 o'clock
Friday afternoon in the Best coliery near
Ashland.
When the fall occurred II was believed
the men had been crushed to death and
the mine officials set about in the ordinary
way to dig out the bodies. While this
work was in progress loud tapping was
heard on the tracks over which mine cars
are hauled. Investigation convinced the
officials that 1t came from the men caught
in the fall and extra help was quickly
summoned.
Whether only one or all three men are
alive cannot be determined. Mine officials
late tonight said they hoped to reach the
men alive tomorrow morning.
The three imprisoned men are John
Delan. q miner, married, with five chill
dren, and Antony Thomas Sanner and
Peter Zebeluskie, !aborers. They had COM
pleted their days work and were on their
way out of the mine, when the roof over
the gangway fell without warning.
The work Of digging into the coal and
rock is slow, because Of the danger of
further falls. AS the debris is thrown back
timbermen step in AMI timber the gang
way sufficiently to permit the rescuers to
continue their, work.
Throughout the afternoon and night the
tapping continued and he taps were
answered by hammering on the rails to
give courage and hope to the men behind
the fall Physicians and first aid corps
are on hand to take charge of the men as
soon as they are reached.
