yesterday by members Of the parish against

The letter IS the result of Father kuhl-

addresses. These addresses were worded
against much-talked-of plan of the Belle

There Is much church property along the
Day line right -of-way and Father kuhlman
earnestly fought any proposed change from
a passenger to a freight road. THIS was
the reason that he attended the public meet
ines to which resolutions were passed con-
demning the action of the railroad COM
pany in making the change from the pas
sengcr TO the coal road.
1t was thought that Father kaufman
would discuss the matter in his pulpit yes
