Peoria, Ill, Dec. 12—Daniel F. j Peoria, lll, Dec. 11.—Daniel F. Raum, one of the most onaiees | lawyers of this city and a son of | Green B, Raum, ex-commissioner of pensions of the United States, stands accused of being a forger in the sum | of $10,000. It is said he executed false mortgages on Knox county land, and F. O, Cunningham, a money brok- er, is the complainant. Raum has surrendered himself to the state's at torney, admitiing his guilt and he was immediately placed in tue coun- ty jail, Suortly before noon Tuesday Raum entered the olffite of State’s Attorney | Scaoles, } “Il am a forger,” he sald, and de- livercd himse over to the author- ities. He was willing to make a con- fession and sign his name to a writ- ten document, He told a story of traveling with a class in society which required means far beyond his own, It was a pitiful tale he unfolded as he detailed how he had committed his first crime to secure money for his living ex- penses, He could not meet the for- gery when he had expected to and another resulted. The gross amount of his forgeries aggregate $10,009. Three thousand dollars of this is due Frank O, Cun- ningham, a local Joan broker and the remaining $7,000 is scattered among other parties in smaller amounts. It was a week ago that discovery long deferred came about, and Mr. Cunningham sent for Mr. Raum, They had a conference in reference to one of the forgeries, which Mr. Raum expressed a hope to pay. An- other was discovered and finally des- patring of ever meeting the obliga- tions, failure to pay which would unquestionably result in his arrest, he voluntarily surrendered himself. Quarreled Over Cattle. Garden City, Kan, Dec, 1L— George A, Deal, a prominent cattle- Man was shot m the face with a shot- gun and seriously wounded by Put- nam Scott, another cattleman, near Eminence, Finney county, Monday evening about 6 o'clock. The two men had quarreled over some cattle and they met in the road between their homes and after a few words Scott tired. An automobile from Garden City breught the wounded man to the hospital. The charge entered Deal's left cheek and tore away the center of his face. Physicians hope for his recovery. Scott t:lephoned that he would give himself up but has not been seen since. Scott is manager of the Cathcart Ord and Swope cat- tle ranch near Eminence. Deal is 60 years old. Frisco to Have a World's Fair. San Francisco, Dec. 11.—San Fran- cisco proposes to have a world's fair in 1913. The project was proposed shortly after the fire and is no longer an uncertainty. Fifteen citizens have formed a corporation to be known as the Pacific Ocean Exposition com- pany, which plans to give a mam- moth fair in 1913 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the discov- ery of the Pacific ocean by Balboa and the completion of the Panama canal. The joining of the two ideas by the promoters seemed especially appropriate since it was after cross- ing the Isthmus that the vigator first looked upon the Pacific. The organization is capitalized at $5,000,- 000. Ask Rellef. Fort Worth, Tex., Dec. 11—The Texas Cattle Raisers’ association at its regular quarterly meeting here passed resolutions appealing to con- gress and the president for relief in the matter of lack of cars for trans- portation of live stckk. Tie reso- lutions state that thousands of herds of cattle in Texas and New Mexico have been turned out in midwinter, thus entailing losses of millions of dollars upon the cattle industry of the southwest.. Italy Encourages France. Rome, Dec. 11—Signor Mirabelli, republican, at the opening of Tues- day’s session of the chamber of depu- ties, in a resolution which was adop- ted to the effect that the chamber sends its warm congratulations to France on the anti-clerical policy which it is following, “as tending to secularize the state and render the human conscience independent.” Pleads Gailty t» Murder, Oklahoma City, Ok., Dec. 11.—At the opening of district court Tues- day morning Claude Ray Kohl, who killed W.

HPHLED FRO FRANE Pope’s Representative Arrested in Paris and Escorted to the Frontier. SITUATION 1S BECOMING VERY TENSE Papal Nanciature Searched and Im- mense Quantities of Documents Seized—Courter Bearing Dispateh- ex From Rome Turned Back at Frontier, Paris, Dec, 11.—After a meeting of the cabinet ministers Tuesday it was announced that en December 14, Pre- mier Clemenceau will ask parliament to suppress the pensions of the clergy, to liquidate the public proper- ty of Catholics and to distribute the presbyteries, seminaries, etc. Among other measures the cabinet proposes to introduce in parliament December 14 is a Dill authorizing the government to expel ecclesiastics whose presence is considered danger- ous to the public peace. Monsignor Montagnini, secretary of the papal nunciature here since the recall of the nuncio, was arrested Tuesday afternoon, upon an order ex- pelling him from France and was conducted to the frontier. The resi- dence of Monsignor Montagnini was searched by the police. Immense quantities of documents found at the nunciature were seized and taken to police headquarters, A courier from the papal secretary of state, Cardinal Merry Del Val, bear- ing dispatches from Rome was turned back at the frontier Tuesday, Formal notice was served during the day on Cardinal Richard, and bishop of Paris, and the bishops and parish priests of this department that they must evacuate their rest- dences Wednesday. Similar notices were served on the clergy in the other departments notifying them to leave their residences on Thursday or Friday, In the hope of effecting a compro- mise several deputies, headed by George Leygues, radical republican and ex-minister of the colontes, have telegraphed to the mayors of the communes asking them to induce two Catholic laymen from each parish to make the declaration under the law of 1881 which the pope has forbidden the parish priests to make. This is an historic day for France, The struggle which began in 1880 with the banishment of the Jesuits ended Tuesday with the legal rup- ture of the bond which for practical- ly 1,000 uninterrupted years had unt- ted church and state. By refusing to make the required declarations under the public meeting law of 1881, pub- lic Catholic worship, except by Schis- matic organizations, Wednesday be es in some of the churehes remely touching. Not in years had there been such an at- tendan¢ t mass. The number of women Was especially large and note- worthy as indicating the religious in- difference of thte male population. The tone of the republican press of al] shades indicates that if the pone imagines that an uncompromising at- titude will compel the French govern- ment to open negotiations with the Vatican, he has woefully mistaken the temper of the people which fa- vors a more hostile rather than @ more conciliatory attitude. Former Sennter Brown's Condition, able fortitude and vitality shown by former Senator Brown of Utah, who was shot by Mrs. Anna K. Bradley last Saturday, lead the physicians at the emergency hospital Tuesday to believe that his chances for recovery are good should no complicat‘ons set in. His condition continues to im- prove. Favorable reports from the bedside of the wounded maa have had the effect of raising the spirits of Mrs. Bradley. She was much more cheerful Tuesday. Shah’s Condition Hopeless.
