WORsHIPED BY WOMEN.
A Deposed Polish Priest rendered
a Remarkable Reception.

DETROIT, Mich, June S.-Two years
and one-half ago Father Kolasinski, pas
tor of the Polish Catholic church of st.
Albertus, and Polish count were ac-
cused of divers offenses and deposed by
Bishop Borgess.. A series of riots fol-
lowed, in which some blood was shed,
and the whole town was kept in a high
pitch of excitement for many weeks.
Kolasinski finally went to Dakota. He
left behind him here between 5000 and
5000 adherents, who formed a kind of
band and vowed not to rest content till
their priest was restored to them. Last
week it was announced that Bishop
Borgess. would officiate in st. Albertus
church June 25. This caused the Kolas-
inkians intense uneasiness. Having
sworn that the bishop who deprived
them of their beloved pastor should
never officiate in his old place, they sent
for KolaSinski, who arrived yesterday.
He was given remarkable reception.
Over 5000 Poles, One-half of them wo-
men, fought with each other to get near
the priest, kissed the hem of his gar
ments, the ground on which he walked,
and Frustrated themselves before him.
A lot of women, sObbing as if their
hearts would break, lifted their idol
upon their shoulders and bore him to
the parish school house, where they held
a grand and disorderly levee. KOlasin-
ski says he will be reinstated by Bishop
Borgess. successor. A collision is eX-
pected to occur between the Kolasin-
skians and Dombrowskites, who are the
Bishops supporters.
When Father Kolasinski left Detroit
he went direct to Pulaski, w alsh county,
Oak, where he was given charge of the
parish Of st. StaniSlauS.

ROBERT A. kILGOUR.

Robert A. Kilgour, the representative
in the Northwest of Wright Bros. &C.,,
never fails to impress the fact upon his
auditors that his house was established
in 1916 and may be justly styled pio-
neers of the manufacture of umbrellas
and parasols. But this bit of preSump-
ton in Bob is readily overlooked, since
he is one of the best fellows that carries
a sample trunk, and is invariably voted
one of the boys in any company that be
may be thrown among.
''Hustling for the house" is his favor
lite expression, and that is paramount to
every other consideration with him, and
he is respected accordingly by his asso-
ciates. He is compactly built. good
all-round athlete, and, in addition to his
other accomplishments. is a politician
of ability. For four years he was secre-
tary of the Cook County Democratic
club, of Chicago, and he enjoys list of
acquaintance among the solid men of
the Northwest such as rarely falls to
the lot of a commercial tourist. AL
though quiet, almost modest, in his de-
meanor, no travelling man sends in larg-
er or more remunerative orders in his
line, and many of his customers have
such implicit confidence in his integrity
that they decline to look at his samples
and merely say, duplicate our last bill
and we will be satisfied"

CAN BUST THE TRUST.
Claus Spreckels Tells What Four
Sugar Refineries Not in the Com
Dine Can DO.

bine Can DO.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June S.-Claus
Spreckels, in the-course of a converse
ton to-day regarding the sugar indus
try, when asked to give some informa-
ton about the refneries in and out of
the trust, said: ''There are twenty re-
fineries in the trust. They have already
been enumerated. AS to those out of
the trust and their capacity | can tell
you something which may interest your
readers. There is the California sugar
refinery, of San Francisco, with daily
capacity of 10000 00pounds. Then there
is Harrison ~ FraZier's, with about
100000 pounds; E. G. Knight d Co. are
said to produce about 100000 pounds a
day. The new refinery here will pro-
duce 100000 pounds a day, making
100000 pounds, or $500 tons a day,
produced by refineries out of the trust.
The consumption of sugar in the United
States is 100000 tons year. The re-
finerieS out of the trust, including the
new refinery, will produce-provided
the capacity of the other refnerieS as
here given is correct-5,000,0 600 pounds a
day, or 100000 tons year. This leaves
only $4,000 tons a year for the refiner-
les in the trust, or much less than one
half. You see, therefore, that the four
refinerieS out of the trust have greater
capacity than the twenty in the trust,
and have nothing to fear from them"

NIAGARA FALLS, n. Y, June S.-A
thrilling accident, in which escape from
instant death seems miraculous, oc-
Cured at the Brundages Whirlpool
Park elevator, on the Canadian side of
the river, at 9 o'clock this morning.
Four South Americans, accompanied by
an interpreter, stepped into the car to
descend to the rapids, distance of 800
feet, at an angle of 45 deg, when the
car suddenly started and rushed to the
bottom of the incline, where it was
dashed into splinters and its occupants
thrown with great force upon the plat
form. Before they could escape the
other car reached the top with such
force that it was detached, and came
down upon the shocked and bewildered
victims of the first car with tremen
dous crash. Relief soon came to the
party, when it was found that Mrs.
Santana had leg broken, and was ter
ribly shocked and bruised, and her
daughter badly cut under the chin.
The ladies' husbands and the interpre-
ter fortunately escaped injury, but it is
feared Mrs. Santana will not survive.
