This disposes Of the rumor that the
election of Father Dionysius Schiller was
due to the pervading influence OF Emperor
William" Father Francis told Sun re-
porter. As matter Of fact, Father Flem-
ming is an Irshman and not an Irish-Amer-
can and Father Schiller might b, termed
a Pr,lssan- American.
Father Flemm.ng's name was not on
the list for election. The Pope forbade his
name being placed there. having higher
honors in view for him. The Holy Father
has for some time planned TO take Father
Flemming to the Vatican to reside and to
leave the Biblical Congress in his charge"
The newly elected Superior General Of

10 Help Break the Teamsters' Strike
Made a Row I'm Demanding Fare.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, May 3l.-Theron
Roundell Strong, an academic senior OF
Yale, whose home is in New York and who
is said to be a relative o. the late Mayor
Strong Of that city, was arrested in this
city early this morning by Policemen Hauf-
mann and Williams, charged with injury
to private property and with breach Of the
peace. According to the story told to the
police Strong has been acting as one Of the
st rike breakers in the teamsters strike
in this city and has been drivir g hack for
james l.. Nesbit, hackowner who has
thus far refused to accede to the union
hackmen's demands.
Nesbit has many friends among the
students. One of these is Strong. He

No. :, one of the highest priced rooms in
the building 1t was understood generally
among the Yale men. especially the Wander
bit Hall crowd. that Strong had plenty of
money and that there was no necessity for
him to drive hacks.
Strong carried a party Of students from
Savin Rock last night, where the Yale boys
celebrated their string of athletic victories
yesterday, and then went to the railroad
the midnight train in Supt. William B.
Mccarthy, of the Elm City Brass Company.
and his wife. Mr.. Mccarthy protested
against the price charged by Strong and
they had some words.
= Strong followed Mr.. Mccarthy up on the
steps of the lattcr's home insisting upon
payment. Mr.. Mccarthy would not settle
Tor the amount specified and went into
the house. Strong thereupon put his foot
through the plate-glass front door.
Mr.. Mccarthy then asked the police to
arrest Strong. Nesbt furnis he'd bail and
Strong will have n anppar in the rOlicp
court tomorrow morning. 1t was a big
surprise to his fellow students to find that
Strong had been driving hack practically
ever since the strike began here about a
month ago. He is popular with Yale men
The arrest of Yale senior under such
circumstances is regarded as pretty Sc
rious offense by the members Of the Yale
faculty. An explanation offered tonight
as to why Strong should take to hack driv-
ing. was to the effect that he is good friend
to Nesbit and was simply helping the livery
stableman out at time when all his men
were out on strike.

PROTEST FORM sL0vAK PRIESTS.
VINO Declare They Have Caught Hungary
Plotting Against the United states.

The Hungarian priests in this country
have issuN protest addressed to the
President and Secretary OF State. and TO
Cardinal Gibbons. the Archbishops and
Bishops OF the Catholic Church here, against
what they describe as an attempt by the
Hungarian Government to make them
police their parishes for their home govern
ment SO as to retard the natural process OF
AUGMENTATION among their fellow coun-
trymen.
A copy Of a letter alleged to have been
sent by The Hungarian Minister of Religion
and Instruction TO the Cardinal prince
primate of Hungary Is attached 10 the
protest as evidences that the Hungarian
States 1t is. signed by NJ Komborsy,
who is declared 10 be an officer of the mini
ster's bureau.
In substance the letter says that SO many
Mungarians are emierating to the United
purposes to strengthen it's hold on them.
The emigrants are especially exposed to
the Pansavic propaganda Of the "schsmatic
bishops of Alaska and San Francisco"
who have converted entire districts to the
religion and patriotic spirit and the conse-
quent spreading OF erroneous views among
their co-reliEonists at home. On this
account the Hungarian Government recon-
mends the sending q an Independent,
sending Jealous and patriotic priests to
take charge of American missions at it's
expense to keep the Ruthenians and Slovaks
in this country under surveillance and
further prohibiting Of the migration OF
hostile spirited priests. The. districts
mentioned as needing new brand Of priests
are Newark, Trenton and Bayonne, n. j.;
Yonkers, N. Y, and Charleroi and McKecs-
port, Pa.
The letter asks the Cardinal to bring. this
proposal to the attention OF the Vatican.
with the assurance that the Hungarian
Government will furnish all the necessary
documents to afford the desired support
and will in general further its efforts
looking toward the supervision Of our
Hungarian countrymen in America"
The pastors here say in their protest
that the Hungarian Government is trying
to interfere With their rights and privileges
them il they do not support its designs.
A Catholic authority said last night that
the American :ti.rsrchy might take some
action on VI. protest and that it's substance
had alrsads Seeu made known to the Pope.
