PRIEST ApvENrURER
Opposition to Building Of Church for
Italian Catholics Breaks Out Fresh


Rutland, April 6.-The opposition of
the pastors Of the English and French
speaking Catholic congregation of this
city to the building of the proposed
church for Italian Catholics on Column
bian avenue here has by no means sub
sided. Perhaps 1t would be more &C.
curate to say they are convinced that
the church will never be built, rather
than that they are opposed to its cree
ton. The Rev. j. M. Brown of st.
Peters church is more outspoken than
the other pastors in the matter. He
told his congregation yesterday that
he was so sure the affair would be a
fiasco that he considered 1t his duty
to warn his people not to put their
money into It. He referred to Father
Crociata the Italian rector, as an ad-
venturer and reiterated his former
charge that the Italians were giving
scarcely anything themselves and
were depending upon the other Cath
olics of the city to build the church
for them.
1t has been learned from other sour
ces that the older Catholic congrega-
tons In Rutland accuse the Italians
not only of being poor givers, but OF
being Indifferent Catholics. It Is
charged that out of the 500 or more
Italians in Rutland only very small
number are ever seen at church.

Register Cole believes that If the
receipts of his Office are placed in an
other light, it will be seen that he
made considerable more money for
the county than he has been credit
ed with. For instance, in 1906,
the Office of register cost the county
nothing in salaries and paid in fees
$24. The past year, the salaries
paid amounted to $4,000, but the
receipts came to $3,771.60, a net
gain. over last year of $447.60, in
stead of about $31, as given above.
