In the State Eenate today Senator Crow. ley. Democrat Introduced a resolution calllnjr for the Investlsatlon of Simon Guggenheim's alleged purchase of the United States Sonatorship from Colorado. It created a. tramendoun Bnsatlon and an outburst of oratory. The Senator al- luM to tho reports In circulation eon- cemlnK the buying of the Legislature and emphatically declared that for the good name of the State of Colorado action must be taken. "Thin Is not a Democratic party meas ure." declared Mr. Crowley, "and X wish to declare unit j tiave no p?raonal pre- judtce against Mr. Guggenheim, either Personally. politically. rellRlously or otherwise, but I do not want to be char- ncterlzed as having been a member of a Ivegialature that had been bought. Paid Expenses,- Gave Away Stock. Mr. Crowley called attention to the avli- cle recently printed In Rldgevay'a Maga. ztne. purport in a- to be an interview, in which Mr. Guggenheim admits that lie practically bought the Senatorshlp by paying: the rrnnpalgn expenses of the members of the present Assembly.

RojuiMlean Calk It Hot. Senator Mil ton Anfngr opened the battle for the opposition and the support- crs ot Mr, Gu&gcnneim, Dy declaring that this resolution was all rot and rubbish and that, if ladles were not present, he would characterize it as something- worse. A stormy debate followed. On motion of Mr. Anfenger the resolu tion was tabled by a vote of IS .Republi cans to 11 lemocrats, a strict party llne- up. Senator Parks then moved that the mat ter be expunged from the records and this carried by a viva voce vote. Legislators Afraid to Revolt. The Colorado Springs Gazette, the lead- ins Republican paper ot the state outside of renver. .says: "flut the few members of the majority of the Legislature Who TranKly admit that Gugfrenhim m not the people's choice, lhat he Im unfit for the place and that his methods are reprehensible.

Her for tomorrow morn Ins- consideration or a like resolution. Early today the House refused to consider the matter In any form, but later the social order was obtained. Kftlley'e supporters tonlfrtit prepared a resolution which will be offered tomorrow as a substitute for the one now before the body. The substitute seeks to offset the charres made against Bailey In the first resolution, stating that he has ad mitted n'l hla connections with Pierce, Kirby and the Tennessee Coal Company and successfully resisted the charges. The Bailey resolution suggests that the Speaker appoint a committee of seven member?, who shall pass upon the Bailey- Waters-Pierce oil cases. If they decide there Is foundation for the oharsres they shall report to Uie legislature, which INTO GUI can then decide as to the charges to be preferred. Both, factions are active tonight In pre paring for tomorrow's contest. NAME CURTIS FOR SENATOR Kansas Republicans Give Bare Ma jority ou Fourth Ballot. TOPEKA, Ivan., Jan. 11.

PRIESTS SUBJECT TO STATE Denounces New Law as Or- ganizing Anarchy. PREDICTS FINAL VICTORY Encyclical Declares French Govern ment Aims to Destroy Church and Dc-Christlanize Prance Com parison Wit li German Law. ROME, Jan. 11. The Oeaervatore Ro- mano. the organ of the Vatican, today pllshed the text of an encyclical ad dressed by the Pope to "our venerable brotners, the cardinals, bishops ana clergy, and the Frpnch people." In this document the pontiff said bis chief object in addressing the faithful In France was to comfort them In their sufferings, which he felt deeply- There was. bowever. great consolation in the fact that the Catholics of France were united. The French gov ernment's declaration of war was not only against the Christian faith. but agalnnt all spiritual Ideas. The French Catholics must be prepared for all sorts of trials, but they were certain of final victory. Contrary to statements on the subject. the church did not desire a religious war involving: violent persecutions. Being: a missionary of peace and carrying: out her mission loyally, the church did not will ingly expose herself to war and persecu tions.' as she did not desire to see her children suffering:. Regarding the ecclesl- astical properties, the encyclical said the Pope had not abandoned them. ' Why Separation Law Is Rejected. The French governmeat had imposed oi French Catholics an" organization which the church was absolutely unable to ac cept without imperiling her existence as a divine institution. The church could not prevent the unjust spoliation in pro gress. As for the proposed cultural asso- clations, they are contrary to the ecclesl- astical authority given to the church by the divine founder himself, and the Pope condemned them on account or the ma terial Injuries involved at the hands of the government. Besides the law confers on these associations attributes regarding bom trie exercise of wshlp and posses sion and administration of church proper ty, which appertain alone to ecclesiastical authority. Finally the associations are not only withdrawn from ecclesiastical jurisdiction, but are placed under civil authority. Continuing, the Pape said: France ana Germany UnllkCi fviaed to ipprov In. Fra ice what, we already approved in Germany. But this re proach Ir unjust and unfounded, for. while the German law is condemnablp on many point h and. was officially accepted tn order to avoid greater evils, the situations are very liferent. The German law explicitly reccirnlzea the Catholic hierarchy, while the French does "not. An to the declaration required for public worahip, it did not offer the leai guaranty that the church had the right to expect Nevertheless, to obviate worse evils, the rh urch might have tolerated maklnc declar ations, but laying down that the clergy shall te only occupants of the churchei without any logal status, and without the right to perform any ndmlnlstratlve act In ih ex ercise of their ministry placed them lit such a vagup ana humiliating poFitlon that the making of declarations could not be ac cepted.

In ad- ditlon. the clergy are under an obllaatlon to meet the heaviest expenses, while their sources ot revenue are subjected to the strictest limitations. Xew Law Aggravates Old. lna- church and state. We can only condemn it with precision and without ambiguity. Certain articles of the law throw new light France without attracting too closely the attention of the people. If their course was really popular, as they pretend' It is. they would pursue it openly and take all the re sponsibility. Instead, against the rising tide of popular reprobation the government at tempts to throw the responsibilities on the church. Its victim, but the object will not succeed. An for us, we have done our duty as any other Roman pontiff would have done. The hifth offices with which heaven Invested us, as well as our faith in Christ, determined our lino of conduct, and we could not have acted otherwise without betray in our con science or breaking the oath we took when we mounted the throne of St. Peter. Therefore, we await earnestly the verdict cf history, which must be that, with our eyes fixed unceasingly on the transcendsnt rights of God. we did not intend to hu miliate the civil power nor combat a form of government, but only to safeguard the spiritual temple of Christ. - All we demanded and demand for the church, of which Prance is the eldest daughter, is respect for her hierarchy, the Inviolability ot her property and liberty. If that had been granted the religious peace would not have been dis turbed, and tha day our demand Is heeded the longed-for peace will be restored. Assured in advance of your magnanimous generosity, we did not hesitate to tell you that the hour for sacrifice had struck and to recall to the world In the name of the master of all things that man here below must nave a goal above the perishable mines of earth and that God. honored, served and loved, despite all.. Is snpreme Joy. Blesses the People. The encyclical concludes as follows: In full confidence that the vlrsrla lmmsc ulate. daughter of our Father, mother of the word, spouse or the Holy Ghost, will obtain for yon from the moat holy and adorable Trinity better days, front the bottom of Pope Pitas 2C.

But :before Its usefulness can be g-reatly enlarged it will he necessary for the Leaeuers to '"get together." And they are very far apart at the present time. Drlseoll Starts Trouble. All the trouble was started by Timothy Drlscoll. who. ever since the organization of the Ieagrue. has been chairman of the county committee at a weekly salary oT JUo, paid out of the war chest. Di-lscoll was one of the men who took the Inde pendence League seriously and headed the committee, whicii, during; tUC cam- paijrn. personally protested to Mr. Hearst about the folly of indorsing; the Tammany candidates - for Supreme Court Justices. Drlscoll by his action only succeeded in getting himself disliked, and he added to this fee Una- when he circulated -the petitions of all kinds of men Tor all Kinds of 'offices. The bulk of these pe titions were thrown out by the Board of Elections, arid after the ballots were counted, Mr, DriscQirs pay ceased and he was thrown out of office by the county committee. This county committee consists of the Thirty-fifth Assembly Dls- trlct leaders. When they were called to- gether and asked to oust IDriscoll, 'they did so by a unanimous vote. Then Priscoll jot busy, He circulated among: the district leaders and finally rounded up 23 of them. more than . majority. They held a meeting, rescinded all they had done, and installed Drlscojl In charge. But the average Independence eader is the most accommoda ing man In the world. He is willing to oblige anybody. Ex-Congressman Shober. who was In charge of the machinery of the party, called 22 leaders into regular meeting and they gravely decided that the original action putting Xriscoll out side the breant works was perfevctly lefral- Whereupon 24 of the 3d district leaders gathered and adopted resolutions euloglz- ' lna- Drlcol 1 and 23. met the next day and denounced him. All They M h Hall-Kent The fact that each faction always had a majority is easily explained. The com- mlttee Is rouriily divided Into ten Drls. coll men and) ten loyal Hearst adherents, with IS others who could not resist the tempiation to meet and orate, and who cheerfully "eulogized" themselves on Monday and -as cheerfully denounced themselves on Tuesday. Wherefore the deduction can be made that anybody who has tVie price to hire a hall can control the Independence Leafue County Oom- mittee until the- next man with hall rent come along. Bncouraed by his frequent successes, -the ambitious Driscoll cast his greedy eyes-upon the State Committee, A sec tion in the leairue -bylaws provides that "on the first Tuesday In January. the State Committee shall meet to organise. Forty members shall constitute a quorum. Charles Ihmsen, chairman of the State " Committee, was on the ocean, homeward bound, on New Year's day. Nobody else thought ot the bylaw except Driscoll. The State Committee Is composed of 350 members, and it was trie easiest thing In the world to get 40 of them to join In- a revolt. Driscoll had 49. He could probably have landed 99, had he desired. This - body of unterrifled politicians descended upon the Gtlsey house, tut was refused admission to the Independence League headquarters. Consequently they held a. meeting In the corridors, much to -the discomfort" or grueeta. and elected Ex-Assemblyman Thomas F. Long chair man of the Stale Committee with a full staff of .-subordinate officers. Then after "denouncing Hearst, Ihmsen and all the other friends of : the people they could think of, they adjourned. lhnisfn Ousts Bolters. Ihmsen of course promptly called & meeting of the State Committee, and had himself re-elected. The bolters were de nounced as traitors and their political heads lopped off. ' A similar penalty was fnflfceted upon the County committeemen who had acted with Driscoll and about half of the men who impartially par ticipated in the oratorical festivities of both factions. The result is that the In- dependence League Is now harmonious. both in the -state ana County Committees. But the Driscoll crowd Is preparing to a-o to law- if it is refused Its "rlghta." It claims that It Is legally in charge of the machinery of th? party, and lawyers who have been consulted take the same Senator A. 9.

They declare they will never, never afraln have anything to do with Hearst, and that he will not be heard of again In politics.

The 'Irlscoir Independence Ieague Is sajd to be backed by Xayor McClellan. anu I)ri?,ooll has' announced that he will som have some patronage to give out. The matter of patronage, by the way, has done much to split the original league.

As a result of this appeal, these jobs were awarded to the Independence Ieague. the salaries being respectively J4000. S3500 and X2000.
