ments concerning the legislative hear
ings and trial following the Tribune's
mna of the alleged bribery In
the Illinois legislature. "I am going
to bide my time," sala" Browne. "Then
the newspapers and public will see
what I do. I am going back to my
own county to start a fight for re
election and I think I will win. I
haven't time to give Roosevelt or the
Tribune any thought. What I may do
la a matter of conjecture."

out of the court room amid nanaanaa
tng and cheering.
Browne appeared as greatly plea
d as though he had been completely
absolved from further trouble In re
gard to the Lorlmer election. Appar
ently he had forgotten that he Is un
der Indictment on the same charge and

"HACK TO THE FARM"
SHOW IX SWrrZERLA-ND
Lausanne, Switzerland, Sept. 10.
A great exhibition that will be of In
terest to Europeans and Americans
connected with the "Back to the
farms" movement was opened today
In Lausanne. It is the eighth Swiss
National Exposition of Agriculture,
Horticulture and Porestry and it
show, as nothing else could, how to
get results from farming and fruit
growing in a mountainous country.
As there Hre millions of acres of
hilly and mountainous lands in Am
erica on which nothing Is grown, and
which are considered worthless for
agricultural purposes, the exposition
here has attracted a number of Am
erican agricultural experts Interested
in the reclamation of such lands. It
Is proposed to adapt Swiss methods
to the development of the abandoned
farms In the hilly districts of New
York and New England, the Ozarks
of Missouri, and the vast wastes of
the Alleghenies, the Rockies and oth
er mountainous districts.
The Swiss exposition, with Its wealth
of displays, proves that If any court
try, anywhere could teach the hill
and mountain valley farmer of any
other country how to wrest a living
from their holdings to the best pos
sible advantage, that country surely
is Switzerland. All Switzerland stands
on edge with practically no Jevel
ground, and the climate is not favor
able to agriculture in many sections
of the republic, yet the harly peasants
ty the knowledge gained inrougn cen
turies of intensive farming, make the
forbidding mountains blossom as the
Cattle raising has reached a state
of perfection in Switzerland known
to no other country, and the thou
sands of head of picked animals
from the choicest herds, the result of
centuries of selection by the breeders
constitute one of the greatest attrac
tions of the exposition.

St. Paul, Sept. 10. James J. Hill
today called Francis, J. Heney, former
graft prosecutor at San Francisco, the
short and uglier word on account of
Heney's address before the conserva
tion congress yesterday. He said
Heney "wilfully falsified," and de
clared that his statements cannot be
passed in "silent contempt" Hill
said: "Heney made his statements so
recklessly and maliciously that they
must be answered. His statement
that we secured western land at $10
an acre has not a rag of truth to
clothe Its nakedness. Neither the
Great Northern or any one connected
with it received a dollar or an acre
from the federal government as He
ney charged. He used the coward's
favorite weapon Innuendo."

CHECK MODERNISM

the growing modernist campaign.
The pontiff reiterates all of the
rules previously set forth against
modernism and especially in the en
cyclical pascendl and adds that the
bishops and rectors of Catholic col
leges must watch attentively the de
velopment of the young clergy, see
ing to It that they are well prepared
to combat error, forbidding them to
read newspapers and periodicals and
avoid distracting them from their
studies.
Every professor in beginning his
course, every acolyte before being
promoted, everv new confessor, ean-
"r holder of a similar office, and
,pery
ecclesiastical . official before
taking possession of Ms post must
take an oath of loyalty to the healthy
Catholic doctrine and discipline.

Montreal, Sept. 10. More than 7$v.
000 persons attended the pontifical
high mass celebrated today on Flet
cher field by Archbishop Farley of
New York. This was in connection
with the final meeting of the Eu
charistic congress. Tomorrow the
congress closes with the Procession
of the Blessed Sacrament in which
125 Archbishops, three cardinals, a
score of bishops and thousands of
minor clergy will participate.
Father Vaughn in hia sermon to
day declared that race suicide la
church suicide. "Nothing ts mora
contemptible than those married wo
men who shake their fists at heaven,
saying we ignore you despite your
laws." said Vaughn. "Such women
are forcing the civilized world Into
sterile paganism." He declared tha
catholic church soon will control the
country through force of number
and aserted that protestantism Is dis
appearing. Vaughan continued: "Racial pro
duction is unalterably connected with
the church's progress. They react
upon each other. The catholic church
stands alone in the enforcement of
God's law In this respect. An empty
cradle means an empty church. Ona
unfortunate condition of our modern
life is that so many women are com
pelled to look outside of their hemes
for work. This is deplorable but can
not be remedied at once."
Big Parade Tomorrow.
The crowning incident of the great
congress will come tomorrow after
noon, when a public procession In
honor of the blessed sacrament will

procession will be witnessed by thou
