CARDINAL RICHARD IS A PROBLEM Government Does Not Wish to Shorn Force Aaalnsi Aaed Primate jind II Hold His Residence. PARIS, Dec. H. The first dar of the re gime of the separation of church and state having' passed wllhout grave dlsordem, pub lic interest in the detail of the continua tion of the struggle Is already flagging. It Is now apparent that the resistance of the clergy will be purely passive and that there Is no prospect of religious passions being aroused unless the churches are closed and the government therefor is resting uu Its ours and mill continue to do so until Par liament authorizes the drastic measures which the cabinet is preparing. In the meantime la this city, except In the churches where legal applications were Hied, tha police again took notes of infrac tions of the law at the morning masses. Cardinal Richard is awaiting expulsion from th episcopal mansion. The govern ment, however, desires to avoid even the appearance of force In the case of the aged primate, who is In bad health and Is post poning action In the hope that he will de part In a few days of his own volition. The Action, a violent socialist organ, to day made an attack on tha government, calling attention to the alleged fact that the Catholic gymnastic societies had num bers of rifles. There Is not the slightest evidence, however, that armed resistance Is contemplated. Some Trouble Expected. It is becoming more and more apparent that tho ultramontoints hope to be forced to have recourse to private worship and that they are embarrassed by the unau thorized applications to hold religious meet ings under the law of liSl. At a church in VlncentK s a notice was posied characteriz ing as "treason" the action of two parish oners In making en application and saying that Cardinal Richard waa the authority for the statement that the popes Inhibition applied to laymen, as well as to the clergy.

A son of the policeman waa chased anu stoned by Ills playmates. The cabinet met today with President Failieres In the chair, in order to decide upon the new legislation to be presented to Parliament, but the text ot the measures decided upon will not bo r,eady until to morrow. The steps to be taken are of a very sweeping character. It is proposed to amend the law of 19uo, providing for the separation of church and state, by which a year's grace was allowed before the permanent alienation of the church's prop erty, and to supprets the privileges ol forming new cultural or diocesan associa tions during that period, and all church property, including the seminaries, will be Immediately hLi.ded over to the state, to the departments and to the communes under conditions Insuring that the churches themselves will be retained for religious uses. The continuance of public worship will be provided for under a combination of the laws of 181 and 1W1. With regard to the pensions and allowances of the clergy distinctions will be made by which those who are entitled to the former will lose their rights If they are deprived of their French citizenship, while those who are entitled to the latter will lose their allowances if they do not conform with the law. The conditions under which the clergy will forfeit their French citizenship will be drawn up in a specUl measure to be prepared later.

HOARD SHOULD HAV JUDICIAL POWER Courts Not to Blame for Appeals and Texas Has Prevented such Action In Too Muny Cases. GUTHRIE, O. T., Dec. 14.-In address ing the Oklahoma Constitutions! congress Oscar B. Colquitt, a member of the Texas Railroad commission, dclared that while the Texas Railroad commission act is a good law, rate regulation in Texas has been a failure except In producing uni formity and he quoted Mr. MayftelJ of the same commission as acknowledging that he had "been almost a failure." Com mending the efforts of President Mr. Col quitt said that if strong men were kept on the Interstate Commerce commission and the courts did not nullify their work the Hepburn rate bill might satisfy the people; otherwise he believed Roosevelt would be come the "forerunner of Bryan." It Is my deliberate Judgment." said Mr. Oolquiett. after exhaustively reviewing railroad legislation in Texas, "that the principal, if not the only substantial good the commission law of Texas aa adminis tered, has done the people Is the giving to them to each person and place uniform rates. Taking the staple products of the state. I think It safe to say that the rate" now In effect and against which the road' ere protesting In the courts ss being too low, are the highest of most any other state in the union, unless It Is the Rocky mountain and Pacific state. This condi tion Is not the fault of the law. The law Is perhaps the best ever enacted upon the suMert. Our power le almost com plete. And yet I say to you that whllo In other respects the Texas railroad commis sion law is a success If vigorously enforced yet as a rate making power I have been forced to the conclusion that It is very largely a failure." Men and Corporations Differ. Mr. Colquitt said that he had asked Commissioner Maytleld "If experience and results had not shown that government regulation of railroads Is a failure" and he quoted Mr. Mayfb'M as saying that he could not quite subscribe to the proposi tion that goverament regulation by etate and nation is failure and "that thev tell us the duty of regulating freight rates is exclusively a legislative unction and vet the legislative power in the exercise of the function Is controlled absolutely by I Judicial interference." I Mr. Colquitt said he did not agree with I hia distinguished associate In placing all the blame on the courts, as the courts were not to blame for being appealed to. Much of the trouble, he declared, was In the incorporation laws of the stat. He ug gested that Oklahoma could guard agnlns this by diptlngulfhlng in its constitution between 'the citizen" and the "artificial person.'? Also that the Oklahoma cumml- lon should be clothed with Judicial power and that the constitution should provide for the purchase of tho railroads by the slate at their market v.iluo in the event the railroads should attempt to enjoin the rates by resorting to the federal courts. May He-Terse Ti'ehresTkn TlVfwlon. Declaring that nte regulation had failed In Texas because the commission has here tofore compromised with the rillroads and his not given the courts an opportunity to puss upon the reasonableness of the com mission's rates. Mr. Coloultt snld he had hoped that in the suit now pending against the Texas commlsHlon. opportunity would be riven for nrovlna the reisonnbleness of a rate and for establishing a doctrine dif ferent from that contended for by the lawyers In construing the Nebraska case. He sIko honed that Oklahoma would frame a constitution and law. which would show that government reeiilulon of railroads enn be made successful. In speaking of the Hepburn In w Mr. Col oultt said that 'Roosevelt, with a master mind and bard. foreaw that something I must be done" and that "If strong courage ous men are kept on the commission and their actions are not negatived b' applications of the railroads to the courts for restraining orders, the country may be contended. Rut If the re verse takes place then It will not sur prise me if Roosevelt, does not become the forerunner of Pryen and a preparer of the way for a diferent solution of the transportation question." Mr. Colquitt whs an alvocate of rail road legislation In Texcs, when that cause was championed by the late Governor HogT. He Is the first prominent man in public life in Texas to declare that it has been a failure in results.
