PARIS, July 30.—Forelgn Minister Delcasse this afternoon addressed a | note to the papal nunclo to the effect that, in consequence of the rupture of the relations between France and the Vatican, his mission in Paris no longer had any object. The papal nunclo, who was visiting the Countess de Villeneuve, near Ver- | sailles, was unofficially informed of the situation last night and returned to Peris immediately. He sent long cipher messages to &Rome this morn- ing. The rupture between France and the Vatican is complete. The Holy See's French note, thcugh courteously worded, merely amounts to a polite statement that the Pope does not intend to infringe the stipulations of the concordat and will @miot withdraw the letters calling the Bishops of Dijon and Laval to Rome. Diplomatic courtesy forbids the pub- lication of the French answer until the Pope is notified, but Foreign Min- ister Delcasse last night sent to De Courcel, the French Charge d’Affaires at the Vatican, two notes; one for the Papal Secretary of State, annéuncing the rupture, and the second a per- sonal note to the charge and the others of the staff of the embassy, to return to Paris immediately after his mission is accomplished. When De Courcel’'s advices reach Foretgn Min- ister Delcasse, the latter will imme- diately request the papal nuncio here to leave France. It is not expected that the rupture will have any immediate consequences beyond the mutual withdrawal of the representatives of France and the Vatican and the suppression of the embassy and nunciature, as the de- nunciation of the concordat requires reliminary sanction. Consequently France Precip-| | diext:: of Note Causing- the Break. — fresh developments are improbable un- til the appointment of the new Bishops come up. *Wéll informed persons do not believe that the Vatican will re- taliate by withdrawing France's pro- tectorate over the Eastern Catholics. The Rome correspondent of the Temps telegraphs that the French Government's dispatch did not arrive at the Vatican embassy until after the officlals left last night and was not delivered until this morning. De Ccurcel conferred with the Papal Sec~ retary of State, Cardinal Merry del Val, at 10 o'clock this morning and it was belleved he would leave Rome to-night. The rupture of relations between France and the Vatican does not cause surprise. It had been generally fore- seen that Premler Combes was deter- mined to bring it about despite the op- position which doubtless he met from certain members of the Cabinet. The impression prevails that the Govern- ment will be satisfled with what it has done and that it will not seek to re- peal the concordat when Parliament reassembles. The fact that the Vatican's reply to the French note was drawn up in Ital- fan causes some irritation. ROME, July 30.—The note severing the relations between France and the Vatican was couched In the following terms: “After having on several occasions pointed out the several blows struck «at the Government right under the con- cordat by the Vatican's dealing direct- ly with the French Bishops, without consultation with the power witn which the concordat was signed, and seeing that the pontifical secretary of state, in his reply of July 25, affirmed these proceedings, the French Govern- ment has decided to conclude officlal relations with the Holy See, whose de- sire had become objectless.” Papal Secretary of State Merry del Val says that an order to leave Paris will be telegraphed to Mgr. Lorenzelli. The nuncio left Paris to-night for Rome. —_———————— Express Messenger Is Killed.

FREIGHT TIED P Liners t0 Handle No More Con- t@a_nd. | Tokio Government Faces a Food - Pr_ob@. Thousands of Tons of War Supplies Held in Pacific Coast Ports. L DI Action taken yesterday by the Har- riman steamship lines Is fraught with serious import for Japan and may have Taterial influence on the island king- dom’s ability to cope with her power- ful enemy In the Far East. To avold even the appearance of filibustering and to keep the corporate skirts clear of the contamination of anything that by either Japan or Russia could be classed as contraband, freight destined to any port controlled by either of the warring powers will not be carried hereafter by the steamships of the Pa- cific Mail, Occidental and Oriental or the Portland and Asiatic lines. Notice was served yesterday after- noon upon local representatives of the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe rall- roads and upon local shippe.. to the effect that the steamships controlled by the Harriman interests would receive no freigh¢ for any port in Japan, Man- churia, Korea or Siberiz, or for New- chwang. This refusal applies to the steamship China, now receiving freight at the Pacific Mail wharf and sched- uled to sail on August 6 for the Far East. TONS OF FREIGHT PILING UP. This decision probably will save steamships leaving from now on from any serious interference at the hands of the hostile navies, but it leaves rail- roads and shippers with a pretty prob- lem on their hands. There are many tons of freight for Japan here now and on the way across the continent. De- livery of much of this has been guar- anteed and upon delivery of some of it Japan is placing implicit depend- ence, One four-hundred-ton lot of Japan- destined freight includes the material for two submarine boats, as well as chemicals to be used in the manufac- ture of high explosives. The presence in port of the Jap- anese liner America Maru is regarded as providential, but her ability to re- lieve the situation is limited by her carrying capacity, and she already has 1400 tons of freight in her hold. She was scheduled to sail to-morrow, but will be held until she has taken all the freight for Japan she can carry. NATURE OF THE MARU’S CARGO. The Maru’s cargo, as far as now loaded, consists of half-crushed salt, for use in the manufacture of ex- plosives, and soda ash, to._be used in tanning the green hides shipped on the Gaelic, Korea and Mongolia. ‘When tanned in Japan this leather will be made into shoes and saddles for the Japanese soldiers. The Korea's narrow escape sent a nervous chill throughout the Harri- man system, and the heads of that organization will rest easier when the Gaelic and Mongolia get rid of all Continued on Page 22, Column 5. s T o i s PIERPONT HAS A CLOSE CALL| Fimancier's Automobile Barely | Escapes Serious Collision. - | MORGAN # i | | ! |} | | | | | | | | | ! | | | || || | | | | | | | | | | { =3 J. PIERPONT MORGAN, THE WORLD-FAMOUS FINANCIER, WHO HAS HAD A , NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH WHILE RIDING IN AN AUTOMOBILE | ON A CROWDED NEW YORK STREET. | % “\Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, July 30.—J. Pierpont Morgan had a very narrow escape from death this afternoon while riding up Rroadway with a friend in his large coach automobile. Morgan's machine was going at a good pace behind a Co- lumbus avenue car, when the car was suddenly run into head on by another large touring automobile. The car stopped quickly, and it was only by dexterous manipulating that the auto- mobile of Morgan was turned. The accident occurred just before 3 o'clock. The Columbus avenue car, going north, was passing Fourth street. At the curb on an angle was a large touring car. The chauffeur of this car suddenly turned the lever, and the car backed with great swiftness into “the trolley. The shock jolted the car, which lurched, but kept on the track The right-*-nd rail was smashed into kindling wood. On the rear of the auto was a large basket containing a repairing kit. This was crushed, and the automobile was bent and scraped, although not so badly damaged that the journey could not be continued. Riding on the rear seat of the car was J. Ordones, 21 years old, of 132 ‘West Sixteenth street. He was swing- ing his left foot over the edge of the car. The automobile struck his foot, tore his trousers leg to shreds and bad- 1y bruised his leg and shoulder. Morgan at the time was leaning for- | ward, smoking and chatting with his |friend. The sudden jolt caused his | Panama hat to fall to the back of his head. He called his chauffeur to stop, |and the machine was brought to a standstill with a jolt, only a few inches separating it from the trolley car. —_——— RECEIVES FATAL INJURY | WHILE LOST IN MOUNTAINS | William Held, a Ukiah Business Man, Dies From Fracture of Skull | Caused by a Fall | SANTA ROSA, July 30.—William | | Hela, a business man of Ukiah, who | | was lost while prospecting at Red | | Mountain and wandered for three| | nights and two days, died suddenly | Friday night.
