CHURCH AND STATE
 CONFLICT KEENER
Indictment Charged Against ClericaB in Hapsburg Countries

Bratisava, Feb. 6. The con- flict between church and state, which has become keener in some of the succession states of the former Austro- Hungarian empire, is now reaching it's eliminating point in Slovakia. The dissolution of the old regime, which was fundamental ly Roman Catholic, saw the rise of many parties that were either obedient supporters to the church or directly opposed to ecclesiastical influence in state politics. Conse- quently that section of the com- munity that believed in the church factor, reorganized themselves more compactly into a clerical party, and it Is in the less cultured provinces of the Czechosloyak Republic (Slo- vallia and Subcarpathian Russia) that the clerical party has the greatest influence and commands a majority of votes.
 Thus it is that an exaggerated radicalism which in the first years after the overthrow prevailed, has been thrust upon these people and vehement exhortat!ons 10 put citi- ,zenship before church interests has generally resulted in great commo- ton and has brought the opposing factions of socialists and clericals to sharp encounter.
 Recently the clerics, headed by the Slovakian bishops, issued pas toral htter or manifesto forbidding their members on pain of cXcom- munication 10 take part either ac- lively or by membership in hostile organizations, such as trade unions and socialists societies. making eX- captions only in cases where a live lihood is concerned. This letter of the bishops was read from the pull pits and as it is regarded as an in citement to sedition, action is be- ing taken by some public prosccu- tors against the priests.
 Whether this manifesto amounts 10 an indictment and whether the authors, the bishops, or their sub ordinates, the priests, are the proper persons to prosecute is still to be determined by cabinet coun- cil.

WESTERN ATHLETES
 FEAR FOR LAURELS
Stanford University Blond Press
 S Best Men for H0nOrs

Pala Alto, Cal, Feb. G. --- Ernie Meyers, the 2o0-pound blond athlete of Stanford university Is pressing for honors the best all-around ath- letes In the annals of the west.
 Meyers is star fullpack on, the football team, one of Stanfords best baseball pitchers. plays a rat Hing good game at forward on tho basketball team and can throw the iavelin. He has given little atten- ton 10 track because of his base ball activity.
 In 1923, Nevers' first year of varsity football, his team lost the big game with California. but not until after he had ripped the line to pieces repeatedly and won a place OH Walter Camps third all- American team. Meyers got even in the spring when his twirling helped 10 win the crucial ball series against California, In the fall of 1924 Meyers had hard luck. He was hurt badly before the first scheduled games and was kept on the side lines most of the season. But he got into the post-soason game with Notre @ Dame at Pasadena. and, though his ankles were weak, played until the final gun. He and Layden, one of the Four Horsemen, were proclaimed the heroes of the day. While the Rockne Ramblers won, Meyers came near halting them single handed.
 After the Pasadena game Meyers was elected captain of the 1925 team. His admirers expect his last year to be his best. Incidentally, Meyers stands high as a student.
 Meyers record is reminiscent of Harold (Brick) Muller's at the Uni yersity of California a few years ago. For two straight years Muller was one of Camps first-string ends on the theoretical all-star football squad. Muller also was a strong contender in the field events. He competed in the broad and high jumps, threw the javelin and the discus. In the 1920 Olympic Games he placed in the high jump. Muller now is an assistant football coach at California.
 Otto Anderson and Morton Kaer, of the University of Southern Cali fornia, have been football and track athletes of exceptional ability the last three seasons. Both were on the Olympic team last year. The name of Jenne, Washington State college track and football man of a few years back and Olympic pole vaulter, is another recalled when the all-around atheltes of the far west are mentioned.

OF GERMANY, DEAD

Berlin.-Friedrich Ebert, first Presi-
dent of the German republic, died here
on Saturday morning. President Ebert
recently was operated on for appen-
dicitis. Peritonitis developed and his
physicians abandoned hope for his re-
covery.
Elected President February II, 1919.
Friedrich Ebert was born in Heidel-
berg in 1871. The son of u tailor, he
turned to the trades and became a
harness maker.
Later he became interested in poll
tics and took an active part iii the ac-
tivities of the Socialist party. He be-
came the editor of Socialist paper
and in 1900 was elected to the Bremen
city council on the Socialist ticket.
In 1912 he was sent to the reichStag

elected leader of the Socialist party.
When the imperial government col
lapsed and the kaiser and crown prince
fled from the country, Prince Max of
Baden, who had been appointed regent,
named Deputy Ebert chancellor.
On February II, 1919, he was elected
President of the German republic.
Though he proved too conservative
for many of his former Socialist sup
porters, during the crisis in which he
crushed Bolshevism and held the war
ring sections of the young republic to-
gether, President Ebert was essentially
man of the people
Stepping from the simplicity of a
wOrkingman's life TO the glamour of
palaces was not altogether to his lik-
ing, from a social point of view. Nor
was his simple. home-ioving wife, Frau
Luisa Ebert, overwhelmed by the climb

cooking and dressmaking, and her
daughter was previously a clerk in a
store.

Presidency Herr Ebert was known as
a Pan-German. or imperialistic Social
list.

No DUPLICATION
Of BONDS MELLON
Denies Charges to President
-Thefts Total Only
$13,100.

WaShington.-In a letter to Presi-
dent Coolidge, Secretary of the Treas
ury Mellon assailed the charges made
in the report of the special house
committee investigating duplication of
government bonds.
The secretary declared the report Of
the majority of the committee was
nothing more nor less than a reitera-
tion of improved charges. The allega-
ton that there have been fraudulent
Implications of bonds, Secretary Mel
Ion insistently denied, referring to the
charges as absurd" and unworthy of
further consideration.
After reviewing the report of the
committee and the persistent charges
made by Charles b. Brewer, a special
assistant to the attorney general who
was the principal source of informa-
ton for the committee, together with
the charges made by former Assistant
Register of the Treasury,J. w. McCar-
ter, Secretary Mellon traced the his
tory of several preliminary inquiries
into the duplication of Liberty bonds
at the bureau of engraving and print
ing up to the time Brewers report
was filed with the attorney general in
January, 1924
Calls Charges Absurd
Mr.. Brewers report" wrote Mr.
Mellon, was referred to thu treasury
! and in my letter TO you of April g.
1924, l answered in detail all his
specific charges. stated then. and |
repeat here, that there have been no
fraudulent Implications or Overissues
of the public debt and that the
charges are absurd. There were some
mechanical and clerical errors in the
preparation and recording of the enor-
nous volume of wartime securities
and there were some petty thefts of
retired securities from the files.
Theft Total Only $4,000.
The mechanical and clerical errors
did not result in any loss to the gov
eminent, while the thefts of retired
securities from the files have involved
loss TO the United States of S13, 100
out of approximately S100,0O0,O0O,
principal amount of securities retired
by the register of the treasury during
the period 1917 to 1922. ANY fair
minded person will agree that this is
remarkable record. The wonder is
that, considering the frailty of human
nature and the wartime conditions I'M
der which most of the work was per
formed, the errors were so few and
the actual LOSSES IN tho TTnito5 c,+o+oo.
