CHICAGO, Feb. ia warning that
the ticket sale has been stopped and
that reservations may be withdrawn

proprietor of a theater in San Fran

company plans to play Leahy said
that unless the managers Of the com

would urge subscribers to withdraw
their reservations
His complaint is that he believes the
management Of the company has made
reservations for only 100 persons for the
western trip, seventy fewer than he eX-
pected, He thinks this means that q
large portion of the company may be
left behind.
Mr.. Leahy specifically attacked Cleo

question taken into the circuit court

to place Father Gruza in charge of the
church.
Early today the sheriff, deputy and
the priest drove to the church. They
were surrounded and the police were
called upon for aid. Twenty five of
ficers were sent to the church and the
doors broken open. The angry parish
toner's then charged the officers and the
battle was fought in the street.
