WANT PRIEST
TO RESIGN.
Situation That Has Stirred Ur
Navarro People.
MEMBERS READ RESOLUTIONS
To the Priest who FIatly Refused TO Re
sign--M Declare They Will
Lock the Church and
Parsonage.

At Navarro there is a situation in re-
ligious circles of a most extraordinary
character. Time and again members Of
st. Clements Catholic church have asked
Bishop Horstmann to remove Rev. M.
Baker, rector of the church, and appoint
in his stead younger man. The bishop
however, did not feel that the charge
alone that the congregation did not like
the priest personally was sufficient to
warrant a change.
Last night a meeting of the congrega-
ton was held. three hundred present,
resolutions were adopted and a commit
tee, consisting of A. Sturm, r. Hug, j.
Ungashik, Joseph Wilihefer, L. Con-
verse, A. Simler and A. Bloch was ap-
pointed to call at the rectory and read
the resolutions to the Rev. Mr. Baker
The committee did so. Following are
the resolutions:
"Be it resolved, that it is the sense of
the people of st. Clements Catholic
church Of Navarro, in meeting assem-
bled, that a committee of seven be ap-
pointed whose duty it shall be to notify
the Rev. Mr.. Baker that his presence in
the parish of st. Clements church is no
longer desired, and he must vacate
within ten days from date of this notice.
THAT a copy of these resolutions be
sent to the Rt. Rev. Bishop Horstmann.
THAT if this notice is not complied
with, the committee shall be instructed
to lock the church and priests house,
and turn the keys over to the council
men,"
The Rev. Mr. Baker told the commit
tee fatty that he would not resign. His
friends say that the committee will not
dare to lock the church. The committee
however, states that this will be done
if the requests of the resolutions have
not been complied with nine days hence.

HAS NO MONEY.
Levi Hartranft Says He Has
Nothing With Which TO
Pay the Judgment.

Levi Hartranft was brought into
probate court Friday afternoon and put
in the sweat box to try to get some
information concerning his finances, so
as to make him pay the judgement
secured against him by Anna Martin.
He testified that he had no property. He
said he has been living in Canton for
fourteen years and most of the time
ran club rooms. He stated that he sold
out last November or December. He
insisted that he had no money and the
case was continued, the attorney for the
plaintiff stating that he wanted to
bring some other witnesses in to court
later, on the question.

SOAP AND WATER
Recommended For the Dining
Room and Other Parts Of
the Infirmary.

The county commissioners made a
pilgrimage to the inflrmary Friday
morning to inspect the institution and
see how matters were getting along at
the place. When they came home they
sat down and wrote their report of
what they found. The report is couch
ed in very polite terms but 1t reveals the
conditions The report speaks for it
self and is as follows:
1--WE this day visited the infirmary.
We found the hospital and insane build
ings in fairly good condition. The main
building occupied by inmates of the in
stitution, we found in reasonably good
condition, with the exception of the
main corridor, the dining room used
by the inmates and one bed room. These
seemed to be very much in need of a
good cleaning. We next inspected two
small two-story buildings apart from
the main building, in which quite a
number of male inmates are housed.
These two buildings we found very
much crowded and in very unclean
condition. While 1t is impossible,
properly to care for the inmates with
the present buildings, yet we are of the
opinion, that with proper care, these
buildings could be kept much cleaner
than we found them today. We believe
that all inmates who are able to do so
should be requested to help keep the
buildings clean. If this were done we
are satisfied desirable results would
follow.

FATHER BAKER
STANDS PAT.
Says He Will Have All of the
TrespaSsers Arrested.
IF THEY LOCK THE CHURCH.
Says BIs Employees Hold the Keyes and He
Will Not Permit Them to BE MoIested
Church War at Navarro
Is Warm.

The controversy in st. Clements
Catholic church, in Navarro, between
pastor and people, continues and much
feeling is shown. The committee that
served notice on Rev. Michael Baker,
the priest, that he should resign, has not
carried out it's threat to close up the
church, but trouble is anticipated to-
morrow. 1t is said, however, that the
committee will wait another week. The
specific complaints against Rev. Father
Baker may hardly be said to be really
specific. Many complaints are general.
1t is claimed that he has antagoniZed
the protestant people of the village and
that he has referred in sighting man
ner to the public schools. 1t is also
claimed that the rector's manner to-
ward the congregation has reduced the
attendance at the church from 250 to
so. The truant officer claims that
Father Baker has attempted to prevent
him from enforcing the law with refer
ence to truants, taking the ground that
the children should not attend the pub
lie schools. 1t is said that one of the
claims against the priest is that he has
gone to the altar to say mass without
donning his priestly robes 1t is also
said that he has delayed, for two years,
giving the children their first COM
munion AS for Father Baker, he stands
by his guns and has made the follow
ing statement:
IF the committee appointed by the
congregation locks the church and rec
tory in accordance with the resolutions
recently adopted, it will be through acts
of trespassing and burglary. The keys
to the church and rectory are in the
hands of my employees, who have been
instructed to hold them until called for
by me. If others obtain these keys it
will be by force, and such persons will
thereby lay themselves amenable to the
law. The congregation has not the au-
thority to close the church and rec
tory. Both are the property of the Rt.
Rev. Bishop Hortsmann, of this diocese,
the deed being held in simple fee by
him. l pay the taxes in his name.
Some of the parishioners seem to think
that the property belongs to them be-
cause they contributed money toward
its purchase and maintenance. These
people forget the agreement which ex-
lists between bishops and parishes
throughout the United States, that
property belongs to the bishop, who,
in return, must provide the parish with
priest. According to the laws of our
church must remain in Navarro until
the bishop instructs me to leave, and
right here l intend to remain, COM
mittee or no committee. / cannot go at
will, and / have not the right to resign
at the request OF the congregation,
even it may be my desire so to do.
Neither has the congregation the right
to ask me to resign. 1 shall consider
1T my duty while here to protect the
property Of the church and to punish
those who attempt to injure it,"
