train and plunge it with it's human
freight into the ocean, and officers be-

responsible for all of them.
All that saved the train last night
was a broken trolley wire, which cut
off the current and caused the train to
stop just before it reached the track
obstruction built of railroad ties, a
sawbuck and a hydraulic jack chained
to the rails.
Before reaching the break in the
wire. the train was travelling at the
rate of forty-five miles an hour over a

Five persons have been killed. so far

coating making walking difficult and
vehicle traffic is most impossible NO

some instances suspended. NO. since
the blizzard of 1883 which old residents
point to as the worst in the history OF
the city. has storm resulted IN so
much suffering. A milk famine was
the most feared today because Of the
suspended train service in New Jersey
and New York states. Nine and one
half inches of snow fell yesterday and
when it stopped gale set in. The
temperature which had remained at a
few degrees above freezing, dropped
many degrees.
With only fifty per cent of the snow
from the two previous storms removed
from the principal streets. the city
street cleaning department faced new
problem today Already $9SO,OOO has
been spent in snow removal work and
city officials were unable to make an
estimate of the probable cost OF the
latest storm.
Train Service Stopped.
With its teleeraph wires down. sig
nails crippled and tracks drifted high
with snow the Pennsylvania railroad
made no attempt to run train out OF
New York after o'clock last night and
all incoming trains from the west and

Supreme Court to Rule This
Week on the Legality Of
a Vow of Poverty
is OATH AGAINST
PUBLIC POLICY?
Such Is Ruling Of the Minor
Tribunal Which Heard
Evidence in Cases

Washington, D. c.. March Upon
the decision Of supreme court in a case
to be considered this week may rest
the future of every brotherhood and
sisterhood of the Catholic church in
the United States. The court will be
called on to decide whether the vows
of poverty in those orders are against
public policy, as recently decided by
the United States circuit court Of ap-
peals of the eighth district The case
in question arises out Of the death of
Father Writ, a member OF the order
of ST. Benedict, who at the time OF his
death in 1901 was in charge Of the
German Catholic church at Springfield,
MINI.
Nearly so years before his death he
took the VOWS of the BenediCtine So
ciety of chastity poverty and obedl'
ence. He was then 23 years OF age.
The effect Of the vow of poverty was
that all right of possessing property
on his part was transferred to the or.
der and that the order on it's part be-
came obligated to educate, maintain
and support him for life
Father Wirtn became member OF
the st. Vincent mission OF West More
land county, Pa, in 1916. Later he was
made prior of a monastery III Kansas
and about 1897 went to Minnesota. lie
became such an honored member that
his superior permitted him to retain in
his possession certain property. Al
the time OF his death he was in pos
tsession of some $1,000 in addition tc
royalties from books he had written
The probate court Of Brown county
MINI, recognized his heirs as entitled
to the properly. After series OF con
tests with the order the heirs succeed
ed in getting decision from the
United States circuit court that the
vow of poverty was against public pol
icy and therefore void. The heirs were
held ent tied to the property.
Approximately $4,000 priests, broth
ers and nuns will be affected by the
decision as it is probable that the title
Of the orders to their churches, col
leges. school houses, hospitals and can
ilarlums in practically every state OF
the union may be drawn into question
In the application for the supreme
court to review the decision, attorneys
for the order stated that If the decis'
ion was carried out to its full extent
it might eventually dissolve and Gis
integrate the temporal organization OF
these orders.
It was also pointed out that the de-
cision might affect religious orders OF
the Episcopal church and some OF the
other Protestant churches.
