POLES FIGHT THEIR PRIEST,
Split in Church Society Leads to
Costly Litigation.

CHICAGO, Jan. S.-A factional fight in
the Polish Catholic church societies was
the cause of quo warranto proceeding,
which is being tried in Judge TuthilFs
court. At st. Adelbert's church, at
Seventeenth and Paulina streets, there
is benevolent society called the so
ciety of the Holy Jesus" About year
ago a split occurred in the society, on
account, it is alleged. of the interior
ence in its affairs of Rev. John RadZie-
jewski, pastor of the church. Part of
the society chung to the priest, while the
majority, it is claimed, seceded and
formed society of their own. The
hall and property of the original So
ciety remained in the possession of
Father Radzieiewski and his adherents,
and The priest is the chief defendant in
the Snit, which was brought by the Sc
ceders. The conplainants allege that
Father RadZiejewski altered the consti-
tuition of the society without consulting
the members, and put into it clause
directing the presiding officer to step
down and give him the chair whenever
he came into one of the meetings. He
also, it is alleged, introduced a clause
giving him the power to keep out from
membership in the society any person
he did not like. The fight extended to
all the societies in the parish, seven in
number, and each one has been divided
in a similar manner. Judge Tuthill
will decide whether the name, s'Society
of the Holy Jesus" along with the
property and effects of the organiza-
tons, belong to the adherents of Father
RadZiejewski or to the majority who
seeded. 1t is claimed that there are
about 1000 members Of the church in
open rebellion against the authority of
the priest, and even Of the archbishop.

pany respondent. DICKINSON, j.
The questions presented in this pro-
ceeding are precisely the same as in
another proceeding respecting the de-
linquent taxes of 1882 in respect to
which the st. Paul. Saltwater & Taylor's
Falls Railroad company interposed
an answer to the decision in which has
just been filed. The controversy relates
to lands included in the same trust deed
referred to in that decision. The Min
nesota Land company claims to have
acquired the land by purchase in Feb
ruary, 1887. The decision of the court
as to the taXability of the lands is sus-
tanned. The judgment will be confined
to lands described in Exhibit c. on
pages 9S and 80 of the paper book, it be-
ing, as we understood, conceded that
no other lands are charged to it in this
proceeding.

working. The department made forty
