Bj Tli* \M<H'lnt*il rr«ii. Paris, March 20.—The chamber of , deputies this evening gave Premier llerriot and his cabinet a vote of con fidence on the government's policy with regard to religious questions. The vote was taken after the pre mier had made a stubborn defense of ills policy. During it lie attacked the recent manifesto of the French cardi nals and archbishops, which pro tested against the government's ef forts to make the nondenominational laws effective In Alsace, and com pared the ‘’Christianity of hankers" with the "Christianity of the Cata combs.” Tlte address of the premier opened the flood gates of temper of his op ponents which culminated in one of the worst disturbances the chamber ever has seen. Old and new orders in France came into dramatic con fliet on the floor, first when the Cath olics and the anti-clericals indulged in a free for-all pummeiing match, ^ and, second, when a censured deputy, Marquis do la Forrona.ve, refused to leave I lie chamber when he was or dered to do so. The marquis had characterized M. Herriot's reference to “Christianity of bankers" as a "coarse and unwarranted insult." Tile premier's denial of any intent to persecute Catholics was received with jeers by the opposition, which booed, hissed and otherwise inter rupted him. Tlte Marquis de la Fer ronaye’s repeated cries of "Ketract!" finally brought upon tijg belligerent deputy the most severe penalty that can be imposed-s-ensure and tempo rary exclusion. The penalty had not been imposed before in 15 years. It bars the marquis from the next 15 sittings, imposes a fine of a month's pay and subjects him to arrest and three days' imprisonment In the chamber building if he re enters it during the proscribed period. The premier's speech was interrupt ed at the outset by Abbe Lem ire's ad mission that the manifesto of the car dinals had "troubled many con ciences In profoundly Catholic com munities." To this M. Herrlot re plied: "We deeply respect si! religious convictions. We will not allows any injury to their liberty, which we have to safeguard.” Colorado Mine Owners Would Reduce ^ ages Denver, Col., March 20.—Wages of 2.000 Colorado coal miners would be reduced approximately 20 per cent .-under terms of petitions filed today with the state industrial commission hr six Colorado coal companies!
