Catholic, interroEated the government
concerning the purchase by American
MethodiSts of 4 portion of Mount
Mario, overlooking the Vatican, with
the intention of constructing there Il
Protestant institute. which, the deputy
declared. would be offensive to the re
ligious and artistic feelings of the
capital and of the Catholic world.
Indersecretary of the Interior FlnZl,
in replying to the deputy. said the
government deemed it inadviSable to
make a concrete reply to the interpret
lation.
americans" Deputy Cingolani said,
"enjoy in Italy the best of hospitality
from the Italian people, and they rem
der bad service to the cordial rela-
tions between the two countries
when groups of Methodists treat Italy
as a barbaric land needing evangel-
ization with torrents of gold"
The deputy urged the government
to purchase Mount Mario and erect
there a national monument to Dante
and Symbolic of Italian traditions
and Catholic thought
a dispatch from Rome on May 30 of
last year told of the dedication of the
first of seven educational buildings to
be erected on Mount Mario Bishop

Wooden Horse Warning.
The wooden horse seems to have

WOMAN STAYS
PRIEST AT ALTAR
The Rev. Basil Stetsuk of Greek
Church is Shot Down as He Hears
Confession of Woman.

Chicago, Ill.--Mrs. Emma Strutyn-
sky, kneeling in the Sacristy OF the
little Greek Orthodox church of st.
Michael the Archangel, of the Ukranian
branch of the Greek Orthodox church,
head bowed as if in prayer, shot AM
killed Rev. Basil Stetsuk as he knelt
before her to receive Sunday con
fession that she said she wanted to
make because she was very i'll.
Her scream "Cheat," the explosion
and tiny squirt of flame of pistol
shot struck terror to the hearts of
the parishioners bowed reverently in
the pews. The first bullet struck the
priest in the mouth just as he knelt and
said: "My daughter, what is it"
Two women seized Mrs. Strutynsky
as she fired four more shots at the
priest, two into the back and two
which merely passed through his
gown. She was saved by policemen
from an angry crowd.
Half a dozen excuses dropped from
her nervous lips as she sought to JUS
tify her acts. She would declare that
Father Stetsuk was squandering church

oppressed her people and dwindle off
into whispered chattering of code
Of personal vengeance.
"My husband was sent away from
this church." she told the police.
"My husband built the great church
of st. Nicholas. He gave his life to
it. And then he was dismissed. The
wonderful church of St. Nicholas was
turned over to Father Stetsuk. He
was wasting the money Of the parish.
Father Stetsuk cheated my people.
He was a cheat and hypocrite. l
had to kill him."
Police said they believe Mrs. Stru-
tynsky is mentally deranged.
She said she set out five weeks ago
to kill the priest. She said she
stopped at Pittsburgh, and sent her
daughter to Ramey to "be with my
sband when he should hear of this"
The Rev. Strutynsky in Ramey last
night told the police that he had no
intimation of his wife's intentions.
He telegraphed her he was coming TO
aid her. He is under Indictment
charged with embezzlement OF $5O,OO0
or more which is said to have gone
into the building of the beautiful st.
Nicholas church here.
Despite her reiterations that she
alone was responsible, the police are
searching for a man who had been
heard to say something is going to
happen in this church"
Father Stetsuk was 44. He was
secretary to Bishop Softer ortynsky Of
Philadelphia, head of the Ukranian
church in America, when summoned
to Chicago. He leaves widow and
two children.
His parishioners declared there was
no basis for Mrs. Strutynsky's al
legations.
Father Stetsuk was pastor of St.
Nicholas Ukranian church but be-
cause ST.. Mrhaels was too poor to
afford it's own priest, he held mass
there each Sunday.
