The removal papers in the Hughes mat

master C. w. Buckley. On account OF the

for removal bad temper, inability to get
along smoothly with other employees and
the postmaster. and a suspicious nature
The papers aver that these reasons were
founded on reports from Inspector Green

eminent funds and mercenary motives in
seeking his removal. Inspectors visited
Montgomery frequently and rumors were
rife as to the removal OF both the prin-
cipals In the fight,

was received from the office Of the Post
master General that the official head OF
Hughes was ready for the axe. Last night

CHURCH QUARREL.
Root Decides That 1t Must Go to
Courts of Islands.

Washington, Dec. st.-Secretary Root.
by a decision just rendered, practically
has thrown into the hands OF the civil
courts in the Philippines the controversy
between the two elements in the Catholic
Church In the islands which has developed
into an active schism.
The schismatics. under the Leadership
of a priest known by the name Of Agil-
pay. have retained possession Of large
amount OF church property which Is
claimed by the Catholic Church. and the
latter appealed to Governor Taft to dis
pc ssess the schismatics. The Governor
held that the question was one for the
adjustment OF the civil courts, and the
case came to Washington on appeal. Sec
rotary Root has sustained Governor Taft's
view.
The importance Of the matter to ths
United States Government les in the fact
that the property In controversy is part
of that to which title must be passed &c
the United States If the negotiations now
in progress beween Governor Taft and
Monsignor Guido succeed.
