His death was due to complications brought on by kidney trouble, and not to septic poisoning as a result of the wound.

Labor Leader on Injunctions. Committee on Child Labor. NEW YORK. Dec. 12. With well nigh 250 persons in attendance, the National Civic Federation began Its fifth annual meeting today in the Park Avenue Hotel. Among those present were: Andrew Carnegie, Cornelius N. Bliss, Oscar Straus, Nicholas Murray Butler, Archbishop Ireland, Bishop Pot ter, ex-Governor David R. Francis, Henry Phipps, Clarence H. Mackay, Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell, Dr. Washington Gladden, .Clarke Howell and James Speyer. August Belmont, president of the Federation, in his opening address, urge4 the appointment of a committee to Investigate the problems growing out of the accumulation of great for tunes. This suMect will be considered tomorrow. Belmont on Taxing Wealth. "No subject can bring greater good to this country if correctly solved," said he, "or greater harm, If for wise and just taxation punitive spoliation and the destruction of our boundless spirit of enterprise through hampering regulations be substituted." Government by injunction was char acterized by Mr. Belmont as "another burning subject to be discussed." He said he was not sure that President Roosevelt's proposition for compulsory investigation of industrial disturbances is advisable. He doubted the wisdom of Government interference, but the greatest justification for such a policy would be in the case of quasi public corporations. ' Mr. Belmont also called attention to that portion of- the President's mess age, wherein the President denounced the effort to prohibit all combination of capital. Injustice by Injunction. The Federation then took up the governmen by injunction question. Carl Spelling, general attorney for the American Federation of Labor, said today in labor disputes judges have sent forth decrees which were special legislation and have paralyzed and rendered abortive all the efforts on the part of the labor side of that dispute. An injunction, he said, should never be granted except to protect property or property rights. He continued: . It is deplorable that men should be ad vised to commit crime, but more deplorable if irresponsible men on the banch are to be allowed to usurp authority above the law and become unrestrained despots: to take one side in every dispute: to decide ex-parte that hundreds of thousands of men are about to violate tho law and send forth special decrees to paralyze and destroy the rights of all these men. . That is the most danger ous tendency in our Government. If these vicious and far-reaching precedents are to be recognized or the courts permitted to go on building more on top of these, they will soon constitute and erect a power as des potic as that which destroyed Rome. He declared that It was seldom that strikers ever resort to actual violence, but that they frequently appoint com mittees to help the police preserve the peace. The speaker said the UPearre bill, which is before Congress, em bodies the proper and. legitimate de mands of organized labor. Walter Drew, Commissioner of the National Iron Erectors' Association, in replying to Mr. Spelling, declared that the latter's argument was fallacious in that it went to prove that Injunc tions should not issue in any case, while he sought to prove that they should issue to protect nothing but purely property and physical property rights. Investigate Child Labor. Samuel McCune Lindsay, secretary of the National Child Labor Committee, said the Beveridge-Parsons bill recent ly introduced in Congress for a Na tional child labor law would cut the heart out of the child, labor evil at a single blow. A resolution was adopted providing that the presidents of the National As sociation of Manufacturers,, the Ameri can Federation of Labor, the General Federation of Women's Clubs, the Na tional Education Association, the American Economic Association, the National Conference of Charities and Corrections and the National Child Labor Committee be invited to name seven members to act with a like com mittee of the National Civic Federa tion as a committee to make a thor ough investigation of the whole sub ject of child labor in the United States. NOT DAUNTED BY THREATS (Continued from First Page.) Peters with anti-Vatican inscriptions, but they were prevented by the police. An anti-clerical demonstration Is being or ganized for next Sunday. The authorities probably will not allow it to be held in public, but it may be permitted if held in a hall with tickets of admission. The Vatican is convinced that the French government, with, what church officials call "Briand's blackmailing cir cular" and the offense against the rights of man committed when the government expelled Monsignore MontagninI and took possession of the papal archives, has placed the position maintained by the church on a sound basis, which insures her the moral support of all right-minded people. Referring to this support Car dinal Merry del Val, the Papal Secretary of State, said: "It is essential to victory." Secret Agent in Paris. The Vatican has already designated another prelate to take the place of Monsignor MontagninI for the purpose of facilitating communication between the Holy See and the French episcopacy and clergy. The name of this man, however, is kept secret to avoid "perse cution." Several months ago Monsignor Mon tagnini asked the Papal Secretary of State to be allowed to return to Italy because of the death of hla mother. The Secretary replied that he would be glad to grant this permission, but he wanted Monsignor MontagninI to con sider "whether it would be opportune to leave his post at a moment when the French government might seize the oc casion not to allow him to re-enter France. Monsignor MontagninI there fore remained at Ills post. This inci dent is worthy of recording, as it proves that Cardinal Merry del Val foresaw the possibility of the expulsion of the individual who represented the papal authority in France, as Indirectly did Monsignor MontagninI. MontagninI Arrives in Italy. TURIN, Italy, Dec. 12. Minsignor MontagninI, secretary of the papal nunciature at Paris, who was expelled from France yesterday, arrived here this morning and continued toward Rome, after refusing to see anybody. ORDERED CLERGY TO DISOBEY Cause " of Montagninl's Expulsion. . Move to Submit to Law. PARIS, Dec. 12. The day of grace granted to tha churches of Paris in the plan of the law providing for the separation of church and state post pones until tomorrow the measures for its enforcement. The delay, however, has only served to Increase tho excite ment caused by the expulsion frojn Franco yesterday of Monsignor Mon tagninI, secretary of the papal nuncia ture at Paris. The formal charge on which Monsignor MontagninI was expelled was that he carried out an order contained In a tele gram from Papal Secretary of State Merry del Val, received December 8, to in struct the French clergy to refuse v to make "applications under the law of 1881 or to obey the law of 1905. The govern ment obtained a copy of the message at the telegraph office. It turns out that the papers seized at the papal nunciature yesterday placed In the government's hands im portant evidence, which may prove ex ceedingly embarrassing, to the Vatican if open war Is to take place. They include besides all the diplomatic rec ords covering the correspondence ex changed before the rupture with the Vatican, recent instructions from Car dinal Merry del Val, the papal secre tary of state, a mass of letters from prelates ovef the world and letters in the handwriting of Deputies of the Right party. M. Jaures, the Socialist leader, asserts in his paper that the seized documents even prove the ex istence of a conspiracy. Prosecutions have been begun against the ultramontane abbes of the Churches of St. Pierre du Gros Caillou, St. Augustine and St. Roch, where the greatest resistance to the taking of tho inventories occurred, and it has been decided to Immediately take over the buildings belonging. to the ecclesi astics, stop the pensions of the clergy, compel aspirants to the priesthood to fill their military obligations and, if necessary, treat the clergy as subjects of a foreign power. This constitutes a sufficient demonstration of tho spirit with which the government Intends to meet resistance. The reception of Premier Clemenceau's speech in the Chcmber of Deputies last night also shows that he has Parliament at his back. Nevertheless, M. Clemenceau was careful to say that there was still time for Catholics to conform to the law. That the rank and file of the liberal Catholics disapprove of the intrans igent attitude of the authorities at Rome is evidenced by the fact that the editor of the Renaissance, Felix Robin, has of his own initiative filed with Prefect of Police Lepine an application under -the public meetings law of 1S81 for permission to hold religious meet ings in all the churches. It was first announced that the govern ment had instructed the prefect to ac tept the application, but it developed later that he only formally acknowledged its receipt and decided that a general ap plication covering all the churches was irregular. He also announced that, un less applications were filed by two author ized persons in behalf of each church, measures for reporting violations of the law would commence at the time for early mass tomorrow. Cardinal Richard has formally denied that he in any manner sanctioned the application of Martinet and Robin. Martinet, who formerly was an anar chist, explains that he and Robin, who Is a street hawker, took the step of mak ing the application in the interest of pub lic peatce, adding: "Unless something is done, the govern ment will become ridiculous and the church will commit suicide." Late this afternoon two members of the Church of St. Jean l'Evangelic filed an application, which was accepted as a legalization of services there during the coming year. Cardinal Richard has accepted thw temporary hospitality of M. Deniys Cochin, a Conservative member of the Chamber of Deputies from' one of the Paris districts. -The Catholic seminaries at Bordeaux, Mende and Saint Brieux were evacu ated today. A detachment of -police this afternoon surrounded the buildings occupied by the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate in order to prevent possible anti-government demonstrations on the part of the Clericals. CALLS EXPULSION ODIOUS ACT Vatican Indignant Over MontagninI. Father Worm to Rescue. ROME, Dec. 12. The Vatican au thorities characterize the action of the French Government in having Mon signor MontagninI, the expelled secre tary of the papal nunciature at Paris accompanied to the frontier by police as "an odious act," showing a desire to humiliate those who because of their weakness cannot retaliate. It is much regretted in Vatican circles that, con trary to th6 propositions of some of the cardinals Monsignor dclla Chiesa, the assistant papal secretary of state, was not sent to Paris after the rupture of diplomatic relations between the Vatican and France, as In view of his Francophile attitude under the late Pope Leo he was the only person cap able of reaching an understanding with the French jOvernment. It is be lieved even now that notwithstanding the gravity of the situation France would not find it difficult to conciliate tho Vatican if ncgotiatons on the sub ject were opened. In the meanwhile the Vatican forces have been mobilized to take part in the campaign. Even Father Wornz, the Gen eral of the Jesuits, has joined the bel ligerents. The latest instructions sent to the French clergy are In substance that they are to look upon the situation with the worst possible aspect and organize private religious services. Thousands of telegrams, it is announced here, have been sent from Free Masons, anti-Clericals, Republican and Liberal clubs and politicians, to the French Premier, M. Clemenceau, and Minister of Public Worship Briand, congratulat ing them on their energetic attitude to ward the Vatican and Clericalism. On the other hand, the Vatican authorities have received thousands of telegrams of sympathy and encouragement from bish ops. Catholic clubs and promfhent Catho lics, Italians and foreigners, condemning the action of the French government. The Pope, when he heard that Cardinal Richard, archbishop of Paris, had been compelled to leave the ecclesiastical resi dence, telegraphed immediately placing the palace of the nunciature in Paris, which is owned by the Vatican, at his disposal and at the same time expressing his cordial sympathy with the venerable prelate. American Catholics Denounce. CHICAGO, Dec. 12. At a special meeting here today of the board of governors of the Catholic Church Ex tension Society of the United States, resolutions were adopted denouncing the recent actions of the French gov ernment as "atrocities" and branding an "nutraereniiH thefts" the seW.nrA nf ecclesiastical property, and appealing to mankind for redress.
