CHURCH BATTERED Opposition to New French Law Precipitates Trouble. GUARDSMEN CALLED OUT r Government Starting Out to Make In¬ ventories of Church Property la Met by Resistence from the k Catholics. A Paris special says: A socialist deputy, M. Allard, interpellated by the government In the chamber Fri¬ day afternoon relative to the meas¬ ures which it was intended to take to protect the government commis¬ sioners In carrying out their Instruc¬ tions to make Inventories of the prop¬ erty of the churches. Premier Rouvier replied that the authorities had orders to use tact ' a^d moderation during the operations, but the government was determined to do it! duty at any cost, even em¬ ploying armed force if necessary. 'in the meantime the opposition of the clergy to the taking of invento¬ ries is becoming more formidable. While the minister was being inter¬ pellated in the chamber, scenes of extreme violence were transpiring at the Church of St. Clothilde, near the chamber of deputies. The church had been tilled since early morning. Before the govern¬ ment commissioner appeared, a police official attempted to induce the clergy to permit an inventory to be taken, received severe maltreatment, while outside the policeman and mounted municipal guards were compelled to adopt the sternest measures in order to disperse the turbulent crowds. Repeated charges occurred, leading to fifty arrests. Among those taken into custody were two priests. The crowd eventually became so violent in the Rue de Grenelle that the police drew their- swords, which, however, they did not use. Many persons, in¬ cluding some policemen, were Injured during the fighting. The prefect of police, Mr.. Leplne, personally super¬ intended the maintenance of order, but, despite the fact that he repeat¬ edly counselled calmness, was unable to restore quiet. Eventually the fire engines were or¬ dered to take up a position near the church so as to he able if necessary te drench the crowd, which obstinate¬ ly refused to move, the women show¬ ing the greatest determination, open¬ ing .umbrellas for their protection and in the meanwhile chanting psalms. M. Lepine ordered the municipal guards and police to enter the church. Under a Shower of broken chairs the officers broke down the railings in front of the entrance, while the cfowd rained heavy blows on them. The firemen burst in the doors anl the police arid municipal guards en tered the buildings. One of the prin¬ cipal officers was severely wounded. Inside the church the congregation had, erected a barricade whieh had to be taken fcy' assault while men and women fainted. -After the church had been cleared the commissioner proceeded to take an inventory, the Catholics outside singing canticles. The prefect of the department of the Seine has issued instructions to the clergy to give up the keys of the churches, and added that in cases of (refusal the. commissioners are .in¬ structed to call on the armed forces for assistance.

House Demands That Census Director Produce Figures of Ginners—Rate Bill Debated at Length. A Washington special says: The house at Friday’s session called for the estimate of cqtton yet to, be gin¬ ned, which the i^gector of census has compiled, but' which he has no authority to make public until March. This actlen precipitated a lively dis¬ cussion la which petulance was ex¬ pressed that the house should par ticlpate la furnishing Information lor the benefit of the speculators. On the other hand there were nu¬ merous members, who stated that the substantial Interests of grower, spin¬ ner and merchant made it imperative that such Information should not be allowed to be bottled up. There was no opposition to the resolution on Its passage. The discussion of the railroad rate bill was taken up and prosecuted with vigor throughout the day. So many speakers have come to the front on this measure that the house agreed <o meet at 11 o'clock hereafter until the debate is ended. The feature of the ’ debate was the lengthy speech of Mr. Sibley of Pennsylvania, who arraigned the legislation with argu¬ ments of varied character, all of which tended to give his reasons for being unalterably opposed to the bill. When he charged that the legisla¬ tion was socialistic in Its nature, and was a step towards government own¬ ership and the dream of Bryan and Hearst, Mr. James of Kentucky asked what the reason was for the right¬ about face of the republican party in the direction of the Bryan leader ship. “I will gracefully place the respon¬ sibility on my colleagues of broader shoulders,” retorted Mr. Sibley, and when Mr. James, who Is quite bald, sat down shaking hts head. Mr. Sib¬ ley remarked to the great amusement of the house: “Don’t shake your gory- locks at me.” “Oh, ths gentleman’s hair is nearly as absent as my own,” responded Mr. James. Mr. Sibley said he would advocate larger salaries for the members of the interstate commerce commission, and would content himself with voting against the bill. A speech by Mr. Heflin of Alabama also favoring the bill concluded the day’s debate. Director of the Census North was promptly notified of the passage by the house of the resolution of Repre¬ sentative Sims of Tennessee, calling for statistics of the census bureau on the amount of cotton remaining urn ginned on January 16. In anticipa¬ tion of such action, he had already begun preparing the figures. COURT ORDER REMOVES GRAVES Injunction Deprives Editor of Atlanta News of His Job.

THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 8. 1906. NORTH 18 RATTLED Director of Census Bureau Tires of Criticisms, WANTS TO QUIT HIS JOB Hopes That Congress Will See Fit to Relieve Him of Task—Southern Cotton Men Have Driven Him to Desperation. Having taken notice of the criti¬ cisms upon his office by President Jordan of the Southern Cotton Grow¬ ers' Association, and others, Director North, of the census bureau, at Wash¬ ington, r declared Wednesday that he hoped congress would relieve him of all further work In connection with cotton statistics. “It is the most disagreeable and annoying work I have ever known,” said Mr. North. "These reports nra gotten up> for the benefit of the south¬ ern people, but they seem to be do voting all their energies toward dis¬ crediting them.” In answer to the allegations made by President Jordan, Director North said: “These cotton ginning reports were established by law for the benefit of the cotton growers and I had believed they were effective to that end, but the reports of the growers, like Mr. Jordan and J. A. Taylor, of the Cot¬ ton Ginners’ Association, seem to do everything in their power to discredit the reports and thus destroy their value, and under these oircumstances I do not believe it worth while for congress to continue to appropriate $260,000 a year for the collection of reports in the interests of the cotton growers when those men are dissat¬ isfied with the results. No effort to show that the reports are inaccurate, misleading or manipulated has been successful. There has never been a leak from the census office since the system was established. “Mr. Jordan now attacks the direc¬ tor because he refuses to deviate from the regular methods of promulgating these statistics at the demand of pri¬ vate parties. "I have therefore declined to accede to these requests unless directed by congress to do so. “The estimates of cotton remaining to be ginned, whose publication Mr. Jordan demands, are obtained by the census offloe at its mid-January can¬ vass for the purpose of enabling It to determine what counties need not be canvassed when the final canvass takes place in March. Whenever the estimates show that there is no more cotton to be ginned in a county or that the amount is insignificant no final canvass is necessary. Posses- sio'h of this information enables the bureau to save from $8,000 to $12,000 in the.cost of the final canvass and that is the only purpose for which these estimates have ever been used. They are only approximate and there¬ fore possess no statistical value. “With regard to the publication of the cpnsus bale weights, to which Mr. ■ Jordan also alludes, I can only say that the computations necessary to secure correct average weights from these returns are enormous in amount and delicate in character. With our utmost energy we shall not be able to complete these computa¬ tions before the last of February and yet I am dally in receipt of telegrams from the south stating that by keep¬ ing back the weight of bales I am enabling speculators to rob the south.” Director North concluded with the remark that “all these circumstances have caused me to pray that congress might relieve me of this work.” DAVE HILL COMES SOUTH.

Yerkes, the trac¬ tion ’king,' who died on December 29, his widow was Wednesday night mar- ried to’Wilson Mizner, of San Fran¬ cisco. The ceremony was performed by Rev.

Mr, Eastland was a witness to the ceremony, which took place at the Yerkes’ residence on Fifth avenue. The other witnesses were Emile Brugere, also of San Francisco, arid Mrs. Goodsell, a wo- man companion of Mrs. Yerkes. For years'before the death of her husband, Mrs. Yerkes and he had been estranged, - and during his last illness she sovei-lU times refused to go to his bedside, but relented just In time to be present at his death. The main cause of the rupture in the Yerkes family was supposed to be the alleged relations of Mr. Yerkes with several Young women, notably Emile Grigsby, the Kentucky girl, on whom he .is said to have lavished thousands, but failed to remember In his will. It Is now declared that she is about to.bring suit against the es¬ tate for $2,000,000. While it is known that Miss Grigs by is in her Park avenue home, she still refuses, to. be interviewed rela¬ tive to the linking of her name with that of the dead financier. Although she has been informed that the press has knowledge of the proposed suit, she positively refuses to say anything about the matter, remaining as slio did all through the Yerkes scandal, in seclusion, denying herself to news¬ paper reporters.

MANY BALES YETT0 COME Speaker Cannon Hat Report of Cen¬ sus Director North Read in the House Lobby—A Sharp Advance Follows. Speaker Cannon made public the census bureau figures on unglnned cot¬ ton immediately after the house was called to order Friday. The total amount of unglnned cotton shown by the report is 250,884 halos, with 1,643 ginneries unheard from. The publication was in accordance with the Sims resolution passed by the house requiring Director North of the census bureau to furnish to con¬ gress all data on unglnned cotton ot the crop of 1905, collected by Jan¬ uary 16. An effort was made to have Speaker Cannon order the report read In tho house, but he flatly refused to do this, saying the document must pass through ordinary channels and an¬ nounced that he thought tho figures were misinformation, rather than in¬ formation; that they were based on partial returns and of little value. The report had not arrived at the house when the speaker rapped for order. In response to inquiries from the department of commerce and la¬ bor and to how the report should be handled, he replied that he would turn It over to the journal clerk and have it made public through the pub lie document room In case it arrived before the house went into committee of the whole. Otherwise he said it must await u»til the house came out of a committee of the whole, as he did not purpose deviating in the least from the ordinary procedure for the purpose of publishing figures of In¬ terest chiefly to speculators. Officials of the department of com¬ merce and labor hurried the report to the capttol, as they dkl not wish to be responsible for delay, and It ar¬ rived In time to be placed in the speaker's charge before the house took up the day's work. Under orders from the speaker, a clerk in the public document room read the figures for a large group of the house and news¬ paper men who were eagerly awaiting the total In the report. (Southern members expressed much dissatisfaction with the figures, and said they were far frem the truth Members from the northern mill dis¬ tricts were equally harsh In their criticism of the totals and declared the ginneries unheard from might make a radical difference in the fig- pres. The report caused considerable ex¬ citement in tho cotton market in New York. The market was very active and Irregular before the report. March sold at 10.80, or 6 points net lower. The report was followed by a sharp advance of 20 to 24 points, with March selling at 11.04. There was heavy realizing. The estimate was read on the New Orleans cotton exchange at 10:19 o’clock, after the report had hear, sent by Director North to the speaker of the house. It Bhowed that 250,Sift hales wore yet to be ginned, which added to the amount ginned to that date 0,998,000 bales, means a total crop of 10,248,846 bales. March, which sold immediately be fore the reading of the report at 11 cen{s, sold ten minutes afterwards at 11.18, and May, which previously sold at 11.13, sold afterwards at, 11.32.

QUESTION UP TO SENATE Dispensaries May Be Abolished Alto¬ gether end a System of Local Op¬ tion Adopted by the Legisltors. By a majority the Jiouse of repre¬ sentative of South Carolina Friday passed the Morgan bill, which pro¬ vides for the abolishment of tho 'state dispensary. Tho new measure vides for local option in the —that is, each county may have a dispensary, under county control, or prohibition. The high license feature was eliminated in order to secure tho passage of a bill which would remove the dispensary as a stato institution. The bill now goos to the senate, but that body has .i bill of its own which provides for the retention of state dispensary uuder a new form management. The matter Is engaging more atten¬ than any other matter before tho general assembly. To forecast the action of the senate on the Morgan bill would be the morest work. As one senator stated, he not attempt to forecast the ac¬ of the higher body until the vote was taken. It was rumored In the lobbies, how¬ ever, that the Morgan bill at this time had a majority of six votes in the senate. As the bill will hardly be up in the senate for a week or ten days It is impossible to say what tho sentiment may be at that time. The Morgan bill is lengthy in detail, but the more Important features are that the present dispensary restric¬ tions which provide that liquor shall not be sold In less quantity than half pints, no sales after sundown nor drinking on the premises are retain¬ ed. Counties may Immediately vote for “sale or* no salo" on petition of one-third of the qualified voters, but a vote cannot bo had oftoner than ov- ory four ve&rs. No counties which have vote l out the dispensai y -six¬ teen in timber-can vote tor or no sate under two vqut/froni the passage of the bill. The chief reason for the change 1 the alleged corruption which has been unearthed by the legislative Invest! gating committee, which has just been granted enlarged powers, and which promises to bring out even more sen¬ sational evidences of graft. USED HATCHETS ON DOORS- French Officials Continue Taking In¬ ventories of Churoh Property. A Paris special says: Tho church of St. Pierre du Oros Cntllnu was the only one where an inventory had been ordered to be taken Friday In accord ance with the law providing for the heps ration of church and state. The authorities adopted rigorous measures to repress disturbances by Catholics who gathered at the church.

With prospects pointing to a strike of - 500,000 coal miners unless the present deadlock is broken by some unforeseen influence, the national con vention of tho Unjted Mine Workers of America adjourned at Indianapoll3 Friday afternoon after the dissolution without reaching an agreement of a wage scale of the Joint conference of operators and miners of the central and southwestern district. President John Mitchell of the Min¬ ers Union advised tho delegates to go home and look to the securing of a defense fund In view of ft possible industrial strife between miners and operators, the miners having refused to reuefr the present wage scale and the operators having refused to grant an increase in wages. The apparent determination of both operators and miners Indicates that neither will make overtures to the other for further negotiations, and, as indicated by the speeches of both the radicals and conservatives of both or¬ ganizations of the Joint conference, it is probable that the 500,000 men con¬ trolled by the United Mine Workers will walk out of the mines In everv part of the United States on April 1. There have been intimations, but no assertions that the president of ths United States and the National Civic Federation may be asked to set In mo¬ tion negotiations looking to a reha¬ bilitation of the Joint agreement or at least a discussion of some possible means of bringing the operators and the miners together for further nego¬ tiations. President Mltcholi estimated that four persons are dependent on eaeu minor and a national strike, such as is planned; will effect nearly 3,000,- 000 persons dependent on mining for bread. With assessments from now to April 1, the miners, with nearly $3,000,000 on hand, would be in possossion of something like $6,000,000 by April 1.

OVER SEA HABIT FMfTxrenrn on ThU Bide th« Water, The persistent effect upon the heart „f caffeine In coffee cannot but result in the gravest conditions, In time. Each attack of the drug (tint! that means each cup of coffee) weakens the organs a little more, and the end Is almost a matter of mathematical dem¬ onstration. A lady writes from a Western State: “I am of German deaccnt and It was natural that I should learn at a v*rr olirly (lf , p 1(! j^nk coffee. Until I was twenty-three years old I drank scarcely anything else at my meals, “A few years ago I began to be af- feeted O.v a steadily Increasing oervous- ness, which eventually developed luto a distressing heart trouble that made roe very weak and miserable. Then, some three years ago, vat added asthma In Its worst form. My suffer¬ ings from these things can be better imagined than described. “During all this time my husband realized more fully than I did that coffee was injurious to me, and made every effort to make me stop.
