S1IRS UP AMERICAN CATHOLICS
Case of An Illinois Priest Arrested for
Sending Il Written Warnin".

Chicago Jan. 2S.-Every prelate.
priest and deacon of the Roman Cath
olic church in the United States. TO say
nothing of the laity, are interested in
a question that, within a few days. Will
be brought to the attention of Cardinal
Satolli, the delegate of the Holy Father
to the church in the United States. The
issue is whether a cleric of the church
should be held amenable to the laws of
the United States for writing and send
ing through the mails a letter to one
of his parshioners uttering a warning
against a contemplated act that would
be violation of the laws and canons
of this powerful denomination.
The issue is raised by the fact that
Father Lawrence Erhardt. priest
of the parish of Somonauk in this state.
has been held by the United States COM
missioner in $4,000 bail to the grand
jury, for sending to a woman commune
cant of his parish letter based on the
announced fact of her engagement to
a divorced man, and in which he pointed
out that the church could not recognize
a marriage with a divorced person, and
that further it could not regard her as
a married woman, if she married.
Action was taken against the priest
ON the dictum of a postoftice inspector,
on the ground that the letter in ques-
ton was an "unmailable" one within
the meaning of the statutes relating to
such offenses The case is the first of
it's kind that has arisen in connection
with any denomination in this country.
and the extraordinary nature Of the
proceeding has evoked some strong
comment from leading clergymen of
this diocese. AS the legal proceedings
are in federal court, the outcome will
establish precedent applying to every
part of the country. Cardinal Satolli
will probably be requested to have the
church represented by special coun-
sci, should the grand jury find an indict-
| ment and the priest be arraigned under

PORTLAND PosTOFElCt TROUBLE
Assistant Postmaster peroSed and w.

Portland, Or, Jan. 2S.-Quite q Sem

day when it was announced that Sill
vey Stuart, superintendent of the
money order department. had resigned
and that Mr.. Hughes. assistant post
master, had been depCsed to make room
for w A. Munley, who is to be the sue
ceSsOr of the assistant postmaster.
Stuart. in his letter of resignation,
bitterly denounced Hughes as being in
strumental in causing this action. and
stated that Hughes had endeavored to
make his position as arduous as posi-
bic and unpleasant in the extreme.
Hughes, who is a democrat, goes out

complaints of like character. AS
