HOLLIS DIVORCE
 CAUSES R0W N
 BULGAR: :CHURCH
U. s. SENATOR'S SUIT RESULTS IN CLOSING OF COUNTRIES
 ONLY UNITARIAN CHURCH

SOFIA, June 2S.-When former sen- atOr H. F. Hollis of New Hamphsire,, obtained a divorce in Doubnitsa, Bull garia, several months Ago he brought about a crisis that has recently re- suited in the closing of the only Uni tarian church in Bulgaria.
 Senator Hollis, it will be recalled, obtained a divorce in Bulgaria last October. The divorce was granted un- der the Bulgarian laws by the pastor of the Unitarian church at Doubnitsa.
 Both the Bulgarian National Church and the Established Bulgarian Evan gelical Church organizations are very strict about divorce matters, and the issuing of the divorce decree to Sena- tor Hollis caused indignation in the church circles. The Rev. Toplisky, pas tor of the Unitarian church was ar rested.
 The arrest of Pastor Toplisky re- vealed that his church had no charter from the government, but was an in dependent church supported largely by funds obtained in America. It was leas ned that the minister had compil- ed with the laws necessary before a church in Bulgaria is empowered to grant a divorce, by publishing in the state journal a notice citing Mrs. Hol- lis to appear in Doubnitsa within a fortnight of publication of the notice.
 Obviously it would have been inn possible for Mrs. Hollis to have made the journey from America in so short a time even if the notice ever had come to her attention, which is doubt full When she failed to appear the di- vorce decree was granted the former senator, and he departed for Rome, where he later re-married.
 Although Senator Hollis obtained his decree the Bulgarian authorities were not satisfied with the procedure that had been followed. An exhaustive inquiry was undertaken and proceed ings instituted before the Court of Cessation, which deals with religious affairs.
 By a decree handed down by the court, the Unitarian church at Doub- nitsa, which is the only one in Bull garia, has been ordered permanently closed. Pastor Toplisky through be- friending the former United States senator has lost his job.
