the triennial synod held at St. Patrick's

The most important decree is the

respectively, the power to remove a
pastor Hereafter the power or re-
moval will rest with the "DeAmotione
parochi" which consists of six priests
besides the arch bishop. Nine reasons
for the removal of a priest have been
decided upon by the consistorial con-
gregation at Rome. AS announced
they are:
Perpetual insanitay, such unfitness
or ignorance as rendered him incapa

ent physical or mental infirmities; the
animosity of the people when it rend-
ers his work useless and is likely to

crime: bad administration; gross neg

obedience to the bishop, if continued
after one or two warnings.
Another change announced in the
canon laws of the church is that per

may receive first holy communion
Heretofore it has been the custom
lamong priests in the English speaking
countries not to administer the sacra

of ten and twelve.
! The decree issued makes it impera
tive for priests the world over to pre-
pare children so they may receive TIL
first sacrament upon attaining the ag

cases six.

this vicinity, but it is safe to say that
IS per cent of the milk shippers and
dealers in Lake county are in favor of
any action, and will cooperate with
any movement that has as its results
the improvement in the sanitary con-
ditions and general bettterment of the
milk shipping industry in this vicinity.
The matter of the establishing a bot
Ting plant, under the Borden system
of milk testing and treatment was also
discussed by the assembled body and
a committee was appointed to inves-
tigate the matter in its entirety, to
learn the advantages, If any, to be
gained by the establishment of one Of
the Borden plant systems here. The
following men were named on the
committee: Louis Reeder, Mr.. Newton
Mr.. KIass and John Brown. It is said
the Borden people of Chicago are anx-
ious to establish a bottling plant here
to care for the local milk product in
the best possible manner and their in
ducements will be such that the milk
dealers here will find it to their ad-
vantage to cooperate with the Chica-
go concern under the proposed plan.

One of their number visited Mr. J. F.
Hartwell, the owner of the building
under construction. and told him that
they would not work with the master
plumbers. That the latter must be cali
ed off the job.
Rather than have any further trouble
Hartwell acquiesced and told the
master plumbers they must quit. They
did so at once, it is said and left the
Hartwell building within three quart
ers of hour an hour after they
commenced work, taking only enough
time after receiving Mr.. Hartwell's
notice TO quit, to finish a trifile of rough
work they were engaged upon at the
time, and to pick up their tools.
From this job they went to help out
Charles II. Maloney at the American
Bridge works where he had a job.
Wolf then got busy and sought TO
take out a warrant for the arrest of the
master plumbers but could fno no one,
it is claimed in Gary who would issue
the paper. He then came over to East
Chicago and swore out complaint be-
fore Judge Harlan.
The defendants to the action are
Charles II. Maloney. H. II. Highlands.
| John Burke, Fred Eibel, Leonard Van
| Dusen, J. 8. Andrews.
The hearing commenced SatEr-
day before Judge Harland and will be
| finished Tuesday evening in the city
hall, as Judge Harlan's court room was
not large enough to accommodate the
crowd. One of the principal witnesses
Saturday was Mr.. Hartwell, the owner
of the building in which the trespass
is alleged to have occurred. Mr.. Hart
well testified that he did not regard
the appearance in his place of the de-
PENDANTS in the cause, as trespass, and
| that ne had nothing to do with the pro-
curing of the warrant against them.
Attorneys kennedy and Skunk repre-
sent the prosecution while Judge
Greenlee and Abe Ottenheimer have
been retained by the defendants to rep
resent them in the hearing.

and citizens interested in the milk in

Although nothing definite was done
in the way of activities for or against
the plan of cattle inspection in Indi-

by the prominent milk shippers pres

the Illinois farmers and milk shippers
for and against the cattle inspection
movement, and plan local action ac-
cordingly. The sentiment for or agains-
