Bishop Wigger has declined TO agree to the terms
Of compromise in the care of the Greek Church In
Jersey City in settlement Of the troubles of the

that the church is under his CONTROL and he can

authority.
The troubles OF the church were taken into court
last week by the faction opposed TO the Rev Greg
ory Hrushka, Who indicted on the charge OF
making contraband cigars and having them IN MS
possession This faction cOnended that the chlrcn
owed allegiance indirectly TO the Car OF Russ a.
while Father Hrushka and his friends asserted that

in accordance with this suggestion II was an; an,
nounced last Sunday that the factions would mold
services on alternate Sabbaths. Father Hrushka
