AUTHORIZATION
MOVE IN CHURCH ROW
Rhode Island Catholics Differences
Also Have Echo in
Law Courts

Woonsocket, R. l., July 10 P-
Leaders OF the movement in Rhode
Island which has resulted in the
bringing of suits in equity against
the Roman Catholic bishop of the
diocese of Providence and trustees
of II parishes will attempt next
Sunday to put into effect plan
whereby all contributions toward
the maintenance of the churches
where Franco-American Catholics
worship will be stopped, Elphege J..
Daignault announced today.
Plans for the stopping of contri-
buttons were perfected at a meeting
in this city last night attended by
1000 persons, said to have repre-
sented all of the Franco-American
parishes in Rhode Island. Daig-
nault said the plan would affect at
least 22 parishes in the diocese and
that Franco-Americans would not
only refuse to make the customary
contribution in lieu of pew rent, but
would also refuse to give to the Of
fertory collection, maintaining this
policy until such time as Bishop
William A. Hickey alters certain
policies to which Franco-Americans
of the diocese are said to object.
The suits in equity. which were
filed by Daignault some time ago in
superior court and which are to
come up for hearing early in the
fall. are based on the claim that
parochial funds were diverted, upon
order of the bishop, to a fund which
was raised for the construction of
Catholic diocesan high schools. The
petitioners maintained that the
funds were taken without their con-
sent.

release and expressed his regrets.
THE occurrence was an outrage.
The Coast Guard men said we were
running without lights. although 1t
was daylight, and that we failed to
answer commands to halt. No such
commands were heard, possibly be-
cause OF the strong wind. In any
event. our boat could make only

initiation of handouts and shackles."
Command Boedecker would make
no statement and ordered his men
likewise to say nothing. Any ex-

dren Thank YOU
These signs soon will greet and
bid adieu to motorists entering and
leaving the zones in the immediate
vicinity Of all schools in Brownsville.
Placed in the middle O the street,
and attractively painted, they are
expected to do much toward prevent
ing reckless driving through school
zones, which has brought forth COM
plants in the past.
The signs were prepared at the
i~nstigation Of Lieut. j. I. Armstrong,
assistant chief of the Brownsville
police department. Already they have
been put in operation on all four
n surrounding the grammar
school building at Eighth and Madi-
son streets and at both ends Of the
Fourth Ward school on Fourteenth

This week they are being installed
on the Of the st. Joseph
Academy at Seventh and Levee
streets. and next week the signs will
be placed in the high school area,
Palm Boulevard and Elizabeth street.
In the event the politely worded
signs are hot needed, the police de-
partment has n more severe method
of enforcing the i2-mile an hour
speed limit in effect in school zones
during school hours. This limit will
be rigidly enforced during the entire
school term. Lieut.. Armstrong stated.
The school authorities are in
hearty accord with the speed limit
idea. and are cooperating with the
police department TO the fullest ex-
tent, the official said. The police.
in their turn, are watching the
schools more closely this year thar
ever before.
Already eight arrests have been
made in the vicinity Of the grammsr
school building on charges Of vio-
Iating the speed law. and in each
instance the violator has been given
a fine.
When the signs were first put In
use Lieut.. Armstrong detailed a man
to work the school zone for a week.
This man was responsible for five
Of the arrests. while the remainder
were a result Of a system worked
out by the official and school heads.
During the week the policeman is
on duty in the school zone, he
teaches a certain number Of the
school pupils to police the territory.
The youngsters then assume charge
Of the situation. two being detailed
for each orne where there Is a
