CHICAGO CHURCH INVADED by A
MOD OF ANGRY FOREIGNERS.
Forty Policemen with RevoIvers in
Their Hands Necessary to Clear the
Place and Restore Order.

CHICAGO, March 15.-About two hun
dred angry Poles men and women, stormed
st. Hedwig's Catholic Church at North
Hoyne avenue and Kisciusko street at $50
o'clock this morning. Five policemen who
were on guard We're cowed by the mob but
on the arrival of reinforcements the rioters
were driven off. There has been trouble in
ST Hedwig's parish for many weeks.
Father Barzinski was driven out three
weeks ago, and at that time the police
were called on to protect the church prop
erty. Father Barzinski belonged to the
Order of Resurrectionist Fathers. and it
was to this that the objection was made for
some reason. Archbishop Feenan sent
Father szydiacsyk to the church, but when
it was discovered that he, too, was a Res
urrectionist he was rejected.
The church was closed and locked for two
weeks, and last night the parishioners de-
termined to oppose a reopening of the edi-
fee. Early to-day the Poles began pouring
into the church hall, and when about two
hundred had arrived the march to the
church, three blocks away, was taken up.
Four abreast, the excited, chattering body
of men and women marched, denouncing
the priest and declaring that they would
prevent him from serving mass consta-
bic had telephOned for the police as soon
as the mob appeared, and i'll a few minutes
two patrol wagons loaded with officers were
uTlVen lIp 10 the cnurcn on the run. Inc
orders We're then given to the police to
draw their revolvers and them If nee
essary to clear the church. The angry
crowd stood for moment, whea forty po-
licemen, with glittering guns in their
hands, marched into the church Captain
Rehm ordered the intruders to leave the
church, and some of the Polish officers in
formed the mob in their native tongue that
the police had orders to shoot Taat set
tied II, and a moment later the c-owd broke
and fled from the church.
The police arrested Josie IowandowSki
and her son Auton, who seemed TO be ring
leaders, and search is being made for the
woman's husband. After the church was
cleared the priest celebrated mass under
guard of a detail of police.
