CHURCH OFFICERS
 EXPLAIN ACTIONS
St. Cyril and Methodius Church Liable to Be Attached So Officers Took
 Property.

ErODcfCy.
 After investigat ting the incipient revolution in the ranks of the congre- gation of the church of St. Cyril and Methodius on Beatty street, Detec- tive Sergeant Samuel Bamforth re- ports that there seems to be no cause for criminal action and legal steps, if the dissatisfied parishioners desire to take any, must be in the civil courts. ...
 A committee of five from the church visited Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Woods yesterday and lodged com plaint, alleging that President Jo- seph Kulezas and Financial Secretary Joseph Tim, both residents of Beatty street, had stripped the church of it's vestments, ornaments, carpets and other furnishings and were holding them in their own homes.
 From Detective Bamfortfs s invesu1- cations it appears that there are two sets of officials at St. CyriPs church, one jealous of the other. The financial condition of the society is bad and the Russian Orthodox church, which owns the buildings on Beatty street. is said to be preparing to bring fore closure proceedings for non-payment of taxes, interest, etc. The ruling off, ficers of the church, while admitting that they have the equipment 4t their homes, declare they have takAl them for safe keeping so that when the church is attached this property will not be tied up as we'll.

The heron aigrette, which is used to
decorate hats, is taken from type Of
heron found in Florida and now al
most extinct. This bird is pure white
and has the plumes only while it has
young. To secure the plume the
mother bird must be killed and the
young are left to die.
The killing of herons Of this class
has been so great that in 1900 the
Lacy act was passed which made it
an offense against the federal law to
ship aigrette plumes to any place in
the United States.
In 1906 law was passed in Iowa
which made 1t a misdemeanor to sell
aigrette plumes or to keep them for
sale.
For some time the state and federal
officials have realized that aigrette
plumes We're being sold in Cedar Rap
ids. Inspector Barmeier stated that
there are more aigrette plumes Worn
in Cedar Rapids than in any other
city in the state.
While walking up Third avenue Mr..
Barmeier discovered two aigrette
plumes on exhibition in the windows of
the Cedar Rapids Millinery Company.
A warrant was issued by Justice Nu-
gent and the plumes were seized.
According to the Iowa law a mis-
demeanor may be punished by fine
of not less than IS and not more than
500. On each of the plumes seized
there are twelve sprigs and if each of
these sprigs counts as one INSIDE
meanor the plumes are likely to cost
the millinery company anywhere from
a $3.50 to $4,000 fine.
The case will be prosecuted by both
the federal and state authorities.

ciples of the Webb enyo on act as ap-

ured in a suit before Judge Milo p.
Smith Friday. Hartz & Bahnsen, OF
Rock Island brought suit against the
H. A. Brink Drug Company, ct AL.
of Walker, to collect bill amounting
to about $40. About half Of the
amount was for Intoxicating liquors,
and the defendants refused to pay :-or
it on the ground that it was sold to
Brink to be used or sold Illegally and
that therefore the Webb Kenyon law
took it out of the protection which
an interstate shipment would ordl-
narily enjoy. Judge Smith held that
this theory was correct and decided
that Hartz &; Bahnsen could not re-
cover for that part Of their bill which
covered intoxicants. but were entitled
to recover for the balance, for which
the defendants had already offered to
confess judgment.
