PRIEST TO STOP

ment, headed Catholic priest be-
hind whom stand 5000 loyal parish

the citys annual disgrace, the First
ward ball.
CIear-eye and unafraid, Rev. Max
imilian Kotecki, pastor of IS. Peter
and Paurs church at West Thirty
eighth and Paulina streets, has put
his shoulder to the wheel to prevent the
holding of the ball at the Coliseum
next Monday night and, despite re-
bluffs from Mayor Busse, Chief of Po-

stop the Orgy. r,t,y .4s 800
Just what these plans are Rev.
that he has confidence Of obtaining re-

plain.
Priests In United Demands.
It is believed that before the night
of. the ball a united demand will be
made by hundreds of Catholic priests
in the city that will be listened to at
tentively not only by the mayor and
chief of police, but also by the two
promoters of the notorious dance.

"the city councils failure to act upon
the resolutions has not discouraged US.
In the beginning this campaign against
the notorious dance, several methods
of attack were drawn up. Because the
first has failed is no reason why we
will not use the second, the third and
other plans.
