VERSAILLES Feb. S. When the com
missioner to inventory church property
went to the Church of St. Symphoricn
today, he found the doors closed. Prefect
Poirson ordered the military engineers to
break Into the church with hatchets.
After the door had been broken open the
prefect parleyed with the cure, who asked
that the gendarmes be not permitted to
enter. The prefect consented and entered
the church with the commissioner.
They were immediately bombarded with
a shower of chairs and brick-bats by peo
ple who bad barricaded themselves in the
organ loft. The prefect was hit on the
head with a chair. The gendarmes, after
a sharp tussle, stormed the loft, and in
the fracas seven of them were so badly
wounded that they had to be sent to a
hospital. The- Inventory was then made,
all entrances to the church being guarded
with dragoons and engineers.
The manlfestants were arrested, and
taken before the summary jurisdiction
court, which sentenced Devesln, Bosquet
and Du Hamel to two years' Imprison
ment and to pay flncs of $100 each. Hals
ter, aged 30 years, and Toubaz were sen
tenced to six months imprisonment; Mar

IlEVOIiT AGAINST PROGRESS
Russian Authority Explains Meaning
of Persian Revolution.
ST. PETERSBURG. Feb. S. "In
general it is amusing to rpcak of
'constitutionalism in a country like
Persia, where the basis of government
Is systematized robbery," vsald Nich
olas Olferelff. director of the Enzelll-TArviz-Tehcran
chaussee, the gTeat
trade route from the capital to the Cas
pian Sea, constructed under Russian
auspices, who is one of the best posted
Russians on Persian affaire, in summing
up today the situation in the Shah's
kingdom.
Controverting the expression that
the present agitation in Persia is di
rected toward reform, Mr. Olferelff
said that, while it might be classed
as revolutionary since it was directed
against the dynasty and foreign influ
ences, it certainly could not be re
ferred to as constitutional or reform
atory, because the Persian clergy, un
der whose direct incitatlon and super
vision the recent events occurred, are
intolerant of all inno,tions or prog
ress. The reigning Shah, although the
oretically absolute, owing to the fact
that his dynasty is of Turkish origin
and that he Is unable to trace his de
scent even fictitiously to the Prophet
All, the source of spiritual prestige, is
greatly hampered by tho authority of
the mullahs, who aro opposed to the
government tendency to strengthen the
lay courts- at the expense of the spir
itual and to take education out of tho
hands of tho clergy.
Tho mtfllahs, M. Olferelff said fur
ther, are strongly supported by the
dervishes, who are spreading fanatical
enmity toward tho dynasty through
out the country. The Shah has been
endeavoring to weaken the dervishes
by Imposing registration or passport
regulations and at the same time is
secretly encouraging the modernized
sect of Babldcs, who are Irrcconclllable
enemies of the priesthood and oppo
nents of polygamy and other Moham
medan practices.
It Is Mr. Olferieffs Impression that
the recently proclaimed "House of
Justice" will, like the State Council,
prove a flash in the pan and Infringe
only temporarily on the sway of the
Grand Vizier.

MONEY FQR EXTENSIONS
CANADIAN PACIFIC WILIi ISSUE
$20,000,000 NEW STOCK.
Will Probably Buy Spokane & Inter

for Canadian Northwest.
NEW TORIC Feb. $,--(Spccial.)
The Canadian Pacific directors have de
cided to increase the authorized com
mon stock to HO,000.000. It Is now
$110,300,000. The road will issue S20.
000,000 at once to the stockholders at
the rate of one share for even five
shares held at present. The price of
the new stock to stockholders will be
par, and at the price of stock in the
market the right to subscribe for new
stock Is worth $12 a share to stock
holders, or practically a dividend of 12
per cent.
No delinlto announcement as to what
the new $20,000,000 of money will be
used for, but many Important exten
sions are contemplated, .especially in
the Canadian Northwest and besides
several comparatively recent purchases
have not been permanently financed.
It is thought probable that part of
the money will be used to finance the
purchase of the Spokane & Interna

dian Pacific into Spokane. There have
also been rumors here from tlmo to
time that this new road may be ex
tended beyond Spokane, but there has
been no confirmation of this.

"Yes, I know that some Western
branches of the Union have protested
agalnsi wine at the wedding of Presi

you that such action was not sanctioned
by the state or National organization.
So far "as I know, none of the New York
State Unions is contemplating such a
protest. It would not be countenanced
at all, but I do not think there Is any
possibility of such a thing happening.
The majority of the Unions in the country
realize the impropriety of such action.

SSFE FROM TUBERCULOSIS
PROF. VON BEIIRING MAKES
ANOTHER DISCOVERY.
Solves Problem of JIakins Cows Im
mune and Thereby 3Iaking Chll
. drcn Proof to Tuberculosis. ..
BERLIN. Feb. 3. Professor Emll ?von
Behrlng, the discoverer of the diphth'eria
serum, addressing the German Agricul
tural Conference today, announced his
determination to adhere to the resolution
which he promulgated In Paris of keep
ing his tuberculosis remedy secret till Au
tumn. The professor discussed lengthily the
method ot preventing consumption by-Immunizing
milch cows. The aim Is to se
cure milk having immunizing properties.
He claims to have approximately solved
this problem. Cows are treated when
very young with a fluid which Profcseor
Behrlng calls tuberlouse. It Is injected
under the skin of the young cows and re
peatedly for two or three weeks. The
remedy at first was very costly, because
it was almost impossible to preserve it in
good condition, but a method has recent
ly been discovered by which It can bo
preserved satisfactorily and at a moderate
cost.
Professor Behrinc also, treated" cows
which showed a virulent type 'of tuberculosis-
In their milk- His theory Is that
children fed on milk from cows rendered
Immune through his treatment become
themselves immune.
