MORGAN FIRES AGENT OF LI Alabama Statesman Hits at Congo Lobby. DOES NOT WANT GUILTY SECRETARY Wimhington, D. C„ Dec. 12.—Thomas iv. Garrett, for many years secretary to Senator Morgan, of Alabama, has hern dtaeharged because of hi* al* liKCit activity In behalf of the lobby which for tho last two years has been representing King Leopold, of Belgium, in this city, and endeavoring to pre- vent action by congress with regard to the atrocities perpetrated on the lives of the natives of the Congo Free State. The reason for the action Is the pub. Mention of letters written by Colonel Kowalsky. chief of the lobby, to King Irfopold praising Garrett for the a»- .istHnce he had given hltn In prevent- In* action by congress Inimical to the Cong'' government and of letters writ ten by Garrett to the colonel asking for money In payment for the services rendered. Senator Morgan, when asked about the matter today, hesitated to use the word "discharged. 1 " ■•Mr. Uarrett was assigned to me by the sergeant at arms." said he. "Upon the publication of the evidence that Garrett has been active In connection Willi the Belgian lobby In the Congo affair, I told Barrett that I did not mint him around me any longer. 1 I told him to go to the sergeant at arms and ask to be assigned to some other place." Senator Morgan's suggestion to Gar- tell that he should apply to the ser geant at arms for another assignment was, of courae, only his way of dis missing him. Garrett's chances for further employment arouptl the senate have gone. *w2rasioN V OF^coJUt aT « 0llcs ARE 6IVEN EEW B#llRS NO DIVORCE FOR'HUBBV She Now Has Chance to Press Suit For Separation.

All the clergy, from the cardi nals to the humblest priests, are de voutly Invoking the aid of God for the faith and thalr co-reilglonlsts In France. The antl-clerlcala seem dis posed to make capital for themselves. One of the anti-clerical clubs, the Olordanc Brunco, has Issued a manl feeto denouncing the Italian govern ment ns a slave of the papacy. The document was so violently worded that the censor confiscated It and would not allow It to he reissued until the more serious errors were taken out. It de nounces the Vatican and praises the energetic action of France.
