Injunction.
U. s. TREASURER ROBERTS DEPENDANT
Payment of Public Money to
Sectarian Institutions.
p REVIO s SIMILAR SUIT

Joseph Bradfield. acting a. his own at
torney. this afternoon filed petition in the
Supreme Court of the District of Columbia,
seeking a decree EMO: ming and forbdding
Ellis H. Roberts, in his official capacity,
from paying out of the moneys belonging
to the United States, the District of Co.
lumbia or to either of them, all or any part
of the sums appropriated by Congress to
sectarian institutions
The money and institutions referred to
are follows:
For construction and completion of an
isolating building for minor contagious dis
eases on the grounds of Providence Hos
pital, $4,000; for furnishing and equipping
the building, 5000; for the maintenance of
the building. $1,000. In all, So 900.
For isolating wards for minor contagious
diseases at Providence Hospital, $1,000.
For St. AIMS Infant Asylum, mainten-
anCe, 81 400
For the support and treatment of ninety
five destitute patients at Providence Hos
pital $4,000. Also appropria tions for con-
tract schools educating Indian pupils.
In view of the religious and sectarian
character of the contract schools, Prov
idence Hospital and St. AIMS Infant
Asylum, says Mr.. Bradfield, the acts of
Congress complained of, by giving to reli-
gious societies legal agency in carrying
INTO effect II puDIC ana CIVIL DUTY, ODllle-
rated the essential distinction between
civil and religious functions, and con-
trary to the article of the Constitution
which declares that Congress shall make
no law respecting religious establishment.
Violation of Constitution
An act of Congress contrary to the Con-
sttution is not law, declares MIR. Brad
field. Continuing. he states that the sums
appropriated to the institutions mentioned
by the acts complained of cannot be paid
by Treasurer Roberts without violating
that other clause in the Constitution which
provides that no money shall be drawn
from the treasury but in consequence of
appropriations made by law"
MIR. Bradfeld further says that he and all
other citizens and taxpayers of the United
States injured by reason of the acts OF
Congress III virtue whereof public
funds are being pledged and used for the
advancement and support of Sectarian edu-
cation and charities and that they will Suf-
fer irreparabe damage if the same are al
lowed to be carried into full effect by
means Of payments made through or by
the defendant out of the treasury of the
United States, contrary to the Constitution
and to the act Of Congress entitled An act
to establish the Treasury Department, APP
proved september =, 1889
In addition to an Injunction it is asked
that the acts of Congress in question be
declared null and void for want of const1-
tuuonal authority.
