INCITEMENT CHARGED
AGAINST CLERICALS IN
OLD HAPSBURG STATES
(By Associated Press)
BRATISLAVA, Feb. 8.—The con
flict between church and state, which
has become keener in some of the
succession states of the former Aus
tro-Hungarian empire, is now reach
ing its culminating point in Slovakia.
The dissolution of the old regime,
which was fundamentally Roman Ca
tholic, saw the rise of many parties
that were either obedient supporters
to the church or directly opposed to
ecclesiastical influence in state poli
tics. Consequently that section of
the community that believed in the
church factor, reorganized themselves
more compactly into a clerical par
ty, and it is in the less cultured pro
vinces of the Czechoslovak Republic
(Slovakia and Subcarpathian Russia)
that the clerical party has the great
est influence and commands a major
ity of votes.
Thus it is that an exaggerated rad
icalism which in the first years after
the overthrow prevailed, has been
thrust upon these people and vehe
ment exhortations to put citizenship
before church interests has generally
resulted in great commotion and has
brought the opposing factions of so
cialists and clericals to sharp en
counter.
Recently the clerics, headed by the
Slovakian bishops, issued a pastoral
letter or manifesto, forbidding their
members on pain of excommunication
to take part either actively or by
membership in hostile organizations,
such as trade unions and socialists’
societies, making exceptions only in
cases where a livelihood is concern
ed. This letter of the bishops was
read from the pulpits and as it is
regarded as an incitement to sedi
tion. action is being taken by some
public prosecutors against the priests.
Whether this manifesto amounts to
an incitement and whether the auth
ors, the bishops, or their subordi
nates, the priests, are the proper per
sons to presecute is still to be de
termined by a cabinet council.
GARMENTS WORN 140
YEARS AGO BY SIR
WALTER SCOTT SHOWN
SEATTLE, Wash., Feb. 9.—A haiul
tailored broadcloth coat and vest
worn 140 years ago by Sir Walter
Scott, almost identical in line with
htose worn today on formal occa
sions, was exhibited in a tailor’s show
here recently.
A daughter of Sir Walter gave the
coat to an English friend of his and
it came down from generation to gen
eration. Every stitch in the garment
was done by hand. The broad lap
els are properly notched, and cut
square in front.
Clam-hammer tails reached to the
bend in the knee. The Avaistcoat was
of brocaded purple silk with small
round, colorful buttons.
Conti Hopes To Show
Some Real Billiard
Skill in United States
(By Associated Press)
PARIS, Feb. 9.—“I never seemed
to be able to get going right in the
United States,” said Roger Conti, af
ter winning the 18.2 billiard cham
pionship of 69.44 for 2,500 points and
an unfinished run of 477, two world’s
records for tournament play.
Conti’s performances in America
were: Chicago, 1921, finished fourth
with average 28.60; New York, 1922,
third with 30.06; New York, 1923,
last with 16.50.
The young French player was some
what chagrined because of the pessi
mism Avith which his performances
here have been greeted in America.
“I have a good many years of bil
liards ahead of me,” said the 23-year
old French champion philosophically.
“Perhaps 1 may yet be able to show
the Americans that I can play bil
liards. If I don’t do it this year, well,
there aie other years coming.”
CELEBRATES TRAGEDY
In announcing the publication of a
novel in serial form, a New York pa
per characterizes its enterprise as
peculiarly “timely” in vieAV of the au
thor’s tragic death in an automobile
accident. This may be good advertis
ing, but it seems to be a sort of cele
bration not entirely in good taste.
EXPLORER EXPLODES BUNK
Stefansson, the explorer, declares
that the many stories >ye have read
of hungry Russian wolves travelftig
in packs seeking whom they might
devour are all bunk. He says the
largest pack of wolves he has ever
seen in all his extensive explorations
was a mother wolf and six young. He
causes many an exciting tale to fall
flat in the light of this information.
ERNIE NEVER MAKES
WESTERN ATHLETES
FEAR FOR LAURELS
(By Afuiociated Presi)
PALO ALTO, Cal., Feb. 9.—Ernie
Nevers, the 200-pound blond athlete
of Stanford University, is pressing
for honors the best all-around ath
letes in the annals of the west.
Nevers is a star fullback on the
football team, one of Stanford’s best
baseball pitchers, plays a rattling
good game at forward on the basket
ball team and can throw the javelin.
He has given little attention to track
because of his baseball activity.
In 1923, Nevers’ first year of var
sity football, his team lost the big
game with California, but not until
after he had ripped the line to pieces
repeatedly and won a place on Wal
ter Camp’s third all-American team.
Nevers got even in the spring when
his twirling helped to win the cru
cial ball series against California. In
the fall of 1924 Nevers had hard
luck. He was hurt badly before the
first scheduled games and was kept
on the sidelines most of the season.
But he got into the post-season game
with Notre Dame at Pasadena, and,
though his ankles were weak, play
ed until the final gun. He and Lay
den, one of the Four Horsemen, were
proclaimed the heroes of the day.
While the Rockne Ramblers won,
Nevers came near halting them sin
gle-handed.
After the Pasadena game Nevers
was elected captain of the 1925 team.
His admirers expect his last year to
be his best. Incidentally, Nevers
stands high as a student.
Nevers’ record is reminiscent of
Harold (Brick) Muller’s at the Uni
versity of California a few years ago.
For two straight years Muller was
