DESERTED THEIR PRIEST
Congregation Hires a Special Train
and Attends Church at Ans
other Town
Special to The Herald.

|
CHILLICOTHE, Mo-. Nov. A spe-
cial train carrying scores of Catholics
| from Brookffeld arrived here this morn
| ing in time for mass at st. Columbian S
| church. The visitors were dissatisfied
with their own priest, Father Tormey,
and chartered the train to attend SER
| vices in this place. There has been a
disruption in the Brookfleld parish and
the church members took this unique
way of expressing their disapproval,
The special train returned at 43O this
afternoon.
Father Tormey has been in Brook
field twenty-seven years. AS builder
up of church property he has been very
energetic and successful. The church
is considered the largest and hand
soonest of all of Brookfield's modern
churches, and is said to be the most
elegant Catholic church in interior Mis-
souri,. The property probably is worth
$50, 900 or more.
The first trouble arose when Father
Tormey set his disapproval upon the
organization of the society of the
Knights of Father Mathew here. The
society was organized, however, about
three years ago and has grown rapidly
in numbers and influence.
The breach between the church and
the resident priest however, was wild
ened when the Sisters of st. Mary's
convent alleged that Father Tormey
was not giving his moral support to
that institution. Then a committee
went to st. Joseph to interview the
Right Rev. Joseph Burke of this dis
trict. Their interview was in vain, de-
spite the petition which they bore from
the church membership, praying that
an assistant be sent to Brookfield.
Bishop Burke told the committee that
in view of the fact that Father Tor
mey had been there more than a quar-
ter of a century, it was a very seri-
Gus matter to talk about overruling
his desires at Brookfield now.

HARVEST HANDS ARE KIDNAPPED
Farmers in Eastern Kansas Do Not
Allow Workers to Get by Them

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July ga. B.
Jamison, superintendent of the free
state employment bureau, says that he
is experimenting considerable trouble
in getting harvest hands to Pratt,
Kan, one of the towns in the wheat
belt.
Il have started 173 men to Pratt"
Mr.. Jamison said, "and it appears that
farmers nave met them at points along
the way and taken them from the
trains. Reports from Kansas say that
when trains stop at the little stations
the crop Owners rush into the cars and
if a harvest hand is in sight they COL
lar him. It's all over with his railroad
ride. They make quick terms and by
the time trains get towards the west
ern part of the state there's not one
left on the train.
Il have a letter from T. B. Gerow,
director Of the free employment office
at Topeka, which says that he is now
meeting with the same trouble. Gerow
says Pratt wants 100 men a day for
seven days. He sent me a list of
places near there where 1000 men are
wanted Immediately"
About $50 men were sent from here
yesterday. One crowd of five came
from Louisville, KY. The eldest of
these was 81 years old. All were drss-
ed in fashionable clothing, and their
trousers carefully creased, wore patent
hat They told Mr.. Jamison they want
ed to tougher up and get brown.
