was locked UP yesterday on complaint
of Mrs. Mrs. John Rosa, who charged
him with poisoning thirty-eight chick
ems belonging to her. was ARRESTED
yesterday on complaint of Mrs. Stanis-
laus Sefick. Miss Sefick lives in the
same house and she claims that Mrs.
Donnelly had threatened to poison her
fowls.
The feud is the outcome of a row
started last week when the daughter
of Rosa was bitten by Donnelly's dog.
and the animal was shot by Chief of
Police Hurry. Donnelly at the time, 1t
is alleged, threatened to get square
with the Rosa family, and when the
chickens were poisoned it was thought
by Mrs. Rosa that he had made good
his threat.
The Sefck family are friends Of the
Roses and as a result they were made
a party in the feud. Justice William
Hackelton, who heard the case, held
Mrs. Donnelly for the grand jury, plac-
ing her under 5000 bonds. which were
furnished by Mrs, James Henderson, OF
White Oak Ridge.

UNJUST To TAX
CATHOLICS FOR
SCHOOLS, He SAYS
MontcIair Priest Also Scores So.
ciety for Trying to Monop-
Ollie Patriotism.

About one thousand men of the par
ish of the Church Of the Immaculate
Conception, Montclair, including the
Holy Name Society of the church, pa
raded through the principal streets of
the town this morning. each person in
line carrying a small American flag.
The line of march was from T~egakwita
Hall, on Mum street, to North Fuller
ton avenue, to Bloomfield avenue, to
Park street, to Claremont avenue. to
Midland avenue to Bloomfield avenue,
to Valley road, to Church street. to
North Fullerton avenue, to the school
grounds at Tegakwita Hall. where a
fiag-raising took place. The flag was
presented to the Immaculate Concep-
ton paris.a-by the Holy Name Society.
Two grand stands were erected, one
of which was occupied by the 300 pu-
pills of the Immaculate Conception
School, who sang patriotic songs. n
the other by the clergy and speakers.
The flag was presented by Peter j.
Carey. president OF the Holy Name So
ciety, and as 4 was raised to the mast
the "Star-Spangled Banner" was sung
after which it' was accepted by the
Rev. william A. Brothers, rector of the
church.
In accepting the flag Father Brothers
said in part:
"A certain organization in this coun-
try thinks il owns the American
schools and that the flag is it's alone,
and that all the patriotism in this
country is in its order. We don't think
II necessary to worship the flag In
order to be loyal, Wherever the cross
of Christ stands over the door you will
find the very essence of patriotism and
love of country.
I'VE believe the State is entitled TO
a moral and patriotic citizenship, but
we believe it is an injustice to tax
Catholics for State schools. 1t was tax
alton without representation that
caused the people of this country to
fight for their freedom. We support our
own schools because we believe that
the heart and conscience of the child
should be trained as well as the intel
lect.
Suppose we should turn loose on the
public schools of the town next Sep
TENDER the $50 pupils of the Catholic
schools. The tax budget for Montclair
would 10 up $40, 900. The Catholics are
saving the state millions of dollars
every year by supporting their own
schools. We hope the day will come
when the good citizens of this country
will dc justice to our Catholic-Amer-
lean citizens"
Judge Thomas A. Davis delivered an
address. which was of a patriotic char
acter. The festivities were ended with
a baseball game between a team picked
from the alumni of the school and the
present school team this afternoon on
the diamond in Harrison Park, on Val
ley road.
