PARIS. Dee. 11 The clergy ot Paris Is
sued special appeals tonight to their pa
rishioner, to b present at the churches
tomorrow at the first mass celebrated out
aide the pale of the law. The government,
however, purposes to proceed gently. These
services will not be broken up. but police

The chief danger of disorders In Paris 1
believed to He In the possible Invasion of
churches by rowdies and free thinkers. Re
serves of gend'armea will be stationed at
various points throughout the city to guard
against troubles of this sort. The effort,
made by certain members of the Chamber
of Deputies and other disinterested perrons
to Insure a continuation of churc ties in eplta
t the papal veo, by Inducing Catholic lay
men In each parish to make the forbidden
declaration have not thus far met with
much success. Up to a late hour tonight
the Church of 8t. John the Evangel was
the only church where such legal applica
tion had been made.
The Indications are against anything
which might be dignified by the name of re
ligious war, and the prompt expulsion from
France yesterday of Mgr. Montagnlnl, sec
retary of the papal unclature here since th
recall of the nuncio, coupled with the threat
to expel recalltrant clergymen from France,
has had a sobering Influence. The militant
Catholics are In a hopeless minority and the
masses are rather Indifferent, or except In
a few Isolated Instances, Inclined to side
with the government.
a Demonstration at Xaney.
There wss a riotous demonstration at
Nancy today while the bishop was moving
out of his residence. A crowd of 2.000 ac
companied the officials to the residence,
hooting them constantly. The bishop will
be prosecuted on the charge of assautlng
a policeman because he laid his hand upon
a policeman's shoulder while he was leav
ing bis residence.
Five thousand persons gathered today In
the cathedral at Renneajto listen to Arch
bishop Do boug's exhortation to obedience
to the pope. There wa an enthusiastic
.demonstration when the archbishop left
the cothedraL
Bo far as church property Is concerned,
the episcopal mansions, the rectories, the
seminaries, etc, prelates of all rank are
prepared to accept the notices served upon
them to move out tomorrow after protest
ing end refusing to sign documents of dis
possession. It is reported tonight that dotene of cul
ture or diocesan societies are In process
of formation at the last moment In the va
rious departments.
First Salts Art Plied.
Prosecutions have been begun against the
over the building, belonging to the eccle
alasUca, atop th pension, of the clergy,
compel aspirant, to th priesthood to nil
their military obligation, and. If necessary,
treat th clergy as subject, of a foreign
power. This constitutes a sufficient demon
stration of the spirit with which the gov
ernment Intend, to meet resistance.
The tone of Premier Clemencoau'a speech
In the Chamber of Deputies last night also
bow. that he has Parliament at hi. hack.
Nevertheless, M. Clement eau waa careful
to say that there waa still time for Catho
lic to conform to the law.
Xnnrlo'a Papers Valuable.
It turns out that the paper, seised at the
papal nunciature yesterday placed In the
. government', band. Important evidence
which may prove exceedingly embarrassing
to th Vatican If open war is to take place.
They Include, beside all th diplomatic
record, covering the ocrresponoence ex
changed before the rupture with the Vati
can, recent Instruction, from Cardinal
Merry del Vsl, th papal secretary of state,
a mas of letter, from prelates all over
the world and letter, la th handwriting
of deputle. of th right party. M. Jaures.
the socialist leader, asserts In hi. papf
that the seised documents even prov the
existence of a conspiracy.

The formal charge on which Monslgnor

from Papal Secretary of State Merry del

French clergy to refute to make applica

of 1JU6.
Th government obtained a copy of the

Editor rile Application.
That th rank and file of ths liberal
Catholic, disapprove of the Intransigent
attitude of the authorities at Rome was
evidenced by the fact that M. Martinet,
editor of the Renaissance, nd Felix Robiu,
filed, on their own initiative with Prvfect of

Ga-et. one of the mot responsible lour-
ntls la Russia, today contains a leading
article advocating a rapprochement be
tween the Inllv1 Rfntn. n rH Rntala In
safeguard the Interests f both powers Ir
me rar east, which, the paper says, r
now threatened by Japtnese
The Bourse Gaxette remarks:
Contemporary Eiirnne Is no ground- ,
which a combination of power for tr.. j
maintenance of peace m the fir east It
r.o-ll.l... but Russia anil the Upltcd Stnt-s i
nre ame to Join hand for this purpose.
They have no old scores to nettle. Their
ancient friendship la onlv trmporarllv lm
paired, owing to the mlt-ikes .f the
former regime A Russo-Amorlr;in rap
prochement, which la hl-'torlc.-i!!v n's

world. Thts In no way Implies wi'.r with
Japan. On the contrary, o -non as the
nrl-nnderstandlng takes' di finite form It
will guarantee the stability of peace In the
far east.
The Poiirae Oaiette says It finds that
the chief source of Japanese Chauvinism
i now snown in tne necouations oi me
Toklo government with the governments
at Washington and St. Pctei-'bunr to be
"the utter bankruptcy of the moral pres
tige of the west In Japanese eyes, owing
to Japan's easy defeat of Russia and the
discovery that the s-Mi'lprity cf the west
ern peoples In the work of peaceful de
velopment Is an empty sound."
The article adds: "The war Indicated
, th Japanese that everything- was per.
mlsslble to them If material force was on
their side. The first st-p In the moral
rehabilitation of the west Is a Russo-
Amerlcan rapprochement."
In this connection mny be quoted a re
mark: made to the Associated Preps cor
respondent by a Russian diplomat of the
highest rank, who said: "Russia places
the highest value on the friendship of the
United States and realites and acknowl
edge that serious mistakes were made In
the past to which the Impairment of the
friendship of the last few years Is due.
Oir task now Is to repair these blun
ders." The Kovoe Vremya and Rech and Slovo
also devote leading articles In most ap
prehensive tone to the Japanese question.

Tub Under Chicago Rlvar Is Too
Badly Damaared to Permit
Repairs.
CHICAGO, Dec. 11-It was decided today
by engineers employed by the city that
the tunnel under the Chicago river at La
Salle street must be abandoned. For years
the tunnel has been an obstruction to
navigation, as Its roofs are so high that
deep draft vessels heavily loaded almost
Invariably strike Its roof.
The War department ordered the tunnel
lowered and the work has been In progress
i for some time. The engineers, however,
have found the roof so badly damaged

After thirty-five hours of almost cease
less deliberation the Jury ln the first of the
Coal trust cases retaraed th.1. verdict Into
Judge Sutton", court Wednesday morning
at : o'clock. The fact n verdict was
reached at all after two nights and a day
of fruitless work on the part of the Juror,
surprised everybody connected with the
case. The defense gave notice It would tile
a motion for a new trial and Indicated it
would cary the case to the supreme court.
If necessary, in an endeavor to have the
verdict set aside.
The twelve Jurors, wan and tired from
the long vigil, were granted excuse, from
further service by Judge Sutton a. soon
a. the formalities of returning the verdict
had been completed. They all expressed
great satisfaction that the arduous case
was over and gathering up their overcoats
and bundles hurried home to make up th
sleep the have lost.
Contest Over the Result.
The contest ln the Jury room was a hard,
one. according to hints that leaked out
during the morning. The first ballot stood
7 to for conviction, but after a little dis
cussion two of the five deserted to the ma
jority and for the rest of the long session
the vote continued to J- It stood at thi.
point most of Tuesday and Tuesday night.
The juror, worked until late Tuesday night
and then settled down on chairs, bench,
and table, as best they could to get som
sleep. At 6 o'clock Wednesday morning
the balloting began again and still the
three hung out. The Juror, went to break
fast with no evidence of a break ln the
deadlock. On their return from the morn
ing meal another ballot waa taken and two
more went to the side of the prosecution,
making the vote stand 11 to L One mors
ballot resulted ln the agreement.
The verdict was reached about o'clock
anu the defendant and his attorney, wsr
at once summoned by telephone to hear th
result. At 9:40 the Jurors, looking much
the worse for the hours spent In the Jury
room, filed Into court and took their place
ln the box. Foreman Edwin B. Brain
handed the verdict to Bailiff Klrkendall,
who passed It to Deputy District Clerk
Gallagher, who read it. Deep disappoint
ment was written ail over the face, of th
eight or ten coal men who were In th
court room when they heard th word
"guilty." Up to that time they bad ex
pressed themselves as confident of an ac
quittal. Dtfeas Demands Poll of Jury.
J. F. Stout, representing the defendant,
askci that the Jury be polled and In reply
to tn questions of the district clerk all of
them declared they had agreed to the
Verdict and still adhered to It.
"Gentlemen of the Jury." said Judge
Sat ton after the formality had been fin
ished, "the court realizes thi. haa been
a very hard and laborious trial for the
' Jurors. It has probably seemed hard to
i the Jurors that thi y should have been
! locked up during tha case. Ti.ls Is ths flrt
j jury for some time that has been out two
: cor.tlriuous nights. Jurors ars like soldiers.
They have to make many sacrifices for
; their country. I believe the sweetest
memories of old soldiers are of tb. liard-
tin anrl nrlvatlons thev have undergone.
j I am satisfied that us years go by you will
' look back upon this service and It will
1 fclve you i.J little sa.tlHfuctlon to recall
tho hatdships you went through In the
service of the slat'!."
Judge button said he would excuse any
1 of the Jurors, who wanted to go horn.

he 1 from further service.

The maximum penalty that can b Im
posed Is a fine of tt.irtt or on year". Im
prisonment or both In th discretion of th
court. Sentence will not be pronounced
