CHURCH RIOT IS
LED BY WOMEN;
100 INJURED

SOUTH BEND, IND, Feb. 10
Warrants were issued to-day for so
men and women of St. Casimir's Pol
ish Catholic Church, who were iden-
titled as leaders of yesterdays riot
in which 100 persons were hurt and
the house of Father Stanislaus Gruza,
adjoining the church, was wrecked.
More than 1000 persons, most of
them women, took part in the rioting.
A few shots were fired, but Mrs. Anna
Kowalski received the only bullet
wound. Her injury was not serious.
The police, deputy sheriffs and city
hremen made several attacks upon
the mob which surrounded the priests
house. Clubs were used freely and
many rioters fell during the fighting.
Every time the police attempted to
make an arrest the mob overwhelmed
the officers and released the prisoners.
When the police began using their
clubs the rioters tore pickets from
the church fence and returned blow
for blow. Firemen attempted to
drive the crowd away with streams
Of water but members of the mob
cut the hose
The trouble in the church started
more than year ago with the ap-
pointment of Father Gruza as pas
tor of St. Casimirs. The congrega-
ton of $50 families refused to &C
cept him. The matter was carried
to the papal delegation in Washing
ton. Yesterday afternoon Father
Gruza attempted to enter his house
with a police guard
After the police failed to stop the
riot the mob went on with its work

FUNERAL HALTED
f. BY DEMAND FOR
GRAVE FEE

Attorney ]. Spence McClelland
Monday threatened a $4,000 damage
suit against the Atlanta Cemetery
Association in behalf of the relatives
of Mrs. Lena Davis as the outcome of
a pathetic incident Sunday when the
burial services for Mrs Davis were
halted by Sexton William Plaigwitz's
refusal to open grave or permit it 10
be opened until he had been paid
$3.50.
Mrs. Davis died Saturday morning
at the home of her mother, Mrs. Sa-
rah Roper, No. ITS Reno street. near
the Exposition Cotton Mills. Know
ing the family to be in Impoverished
circumstances, neighbors proposed
Sunday that they go out to the North
view Cemetery, formerly known as
Caseys Cemetery, and dig the grave
so as to avoid the expense to which
the relatives would be put in having
it dug.
Friends Offer Services.
Charles F. Sweat, George Fowler,
Thomas Fowler and a Mr.. Crowley
took shovels and picks and went TO
the family lot, which had been pur-
chased before the Atlanta Cemetery
Association was formed. The funeral
was in progress and the grave half
finished when 1t is said that Sexton
Plaigwitz appeared and told the men
to stop, as they had no right to dig
the grave.
He added, according to the story
told by the men, that he would not
dig it until he was given $3.50. Mr.,
Sweat told him that the mother of
Mrs. Davis did not have any money
to pay for the digging of the grave,
and the sexton Is said to have retorted
that that fact made no difference 10
him.
The four, their picks and shovels on
their shoulders, hurried to the Raper
house just as the little funeral cortege
was coming from the door. The body
was taken back to the Poole under
taking rooms
Manager Uphods Sexton.
"The sexton was wholly within his
ent and manager of the Northview
Cemetery. The incident was regret

ed. Plaigwitz could not do anything
but observe the rules and regulations
of the cemetery association. He would
have been disobeying orders had he
done anythin else.
ut is true that the lot belonged to
the family, but it was still subject to
the cemetery rules and regulations.
The association, If the family is des-
titute, as represented, will be very
glad to remit the fee for the digging Of
the grave. In fact, we have notified
the family that the grave is open"

HELP FOR THE FARMER.

The extent TO which government
aid should be offered in the promo

Gus question. Americans who have
been accustomed to look askance
upon socalled fraternal governments.
learn with surprise OF the undertak-
ings by public authority In other
states. The little Republics OF Uru-
quay and Paraguay in South America
are beginning TO operate an extensive
plan or agricultural development. Tho
farmers OF Uruguay needed money.
A big national bank was organized
by the government. money borrowed
from abroad on the strength OF the
governments credit. and that money
loaned 10 farmers at rates rather less
than half they had previously paid.
In Paraguay a national agricultural
bank has a capital OF s14. 600, 900.
Most OF this is loaned to farmers on
n plan by which Il is paid back IN
annual Istallments. extending over a
period OF fifteen years. This bank. as
a representative OF the government
furnishes free seeds and maintains
a department for the buying OF i'm
plements, fence wire, etc. When an
immigrant comes in and declares his
intention TO become a citizen. the
government gives him thirty acres OF
land. n as soon as he makes i'm
provements required by law. he re-
ceives another thirty acres. The gov
eminent bank agrees TO furnish IS 90
an acre TO make Improvements. and
TO produce the first crop.
II Is not necessary in this country
for the government to undertake so
paternal a relation in order 10 stimu-
late any particular industry. We can.
however. carry government co-opera-
ton much further than we have. A
system Of industrial banks insuring
lower money rates for farmers would
help solve the high cost OF living.
There is no good reason why Ameri.
can farmers SHOULD nay eight or ten
per cent interest. while an American
stock gambler borrows his money at
three and four per cent.
