 Mir. Roper plans to do some rsno- vatinG in the premises, after which he will enter into active business. He will change the name so that the establishment will henceforth be known by some title other than the Black Kittens inn.'
 For one brief hour. at noon today, the several banks of parked auto mobiles standing in front of the inn gave it the outward appearances of the gaiety which marked its brief but eventful career. Inwardly, there was different pictrue, as the be- moustached auctioneer pleaded in vain with a group which was frank ly disinterested in buying.
 One of the conditions which. it was believed, halted bidding was the fact that both mortgages being in default for overdue payments are subject to demand for the principal amounts. Another was the fact that there is no insurance on the LhiioihS duu lIdl IiUIie VIII De placed by any insurance company until the premises arc tenanted and business is begun.
 The inn was erected by James Tobin a few years ago, the original building being about one-third its present size. It was enlarged twice. Tobin fell into the clutches of the law recently, his arrest for violation of the liquor law taking place while the inn was accommodating a ca racity attendance of dancers anu diners. On the night Tobin was scheduled to appear in court he left the city. Upon his return he faced trial. paying a money penalty while {. jail sentence was suspended. Sub sequently he filed petition in bank ruptcy. appending long list of creditors in which members of his own family appeared to be the heaviest losers.

 In Reply to Critics of Priest

writer in a certain newspaper, that the Roman Catholic church does not forbid dancing and in this case in- dicates that he knows as much about the church rules regarding dancing as he showed regarding to eating meat on Friday. Everyone (with the exception of morons), knows that the Catholic church, the national laws, the city ordinances and public school rules forbid obscene and in- decent dances
 Defends Russian Concert
 You cry that the Russians have arranged d concert in the parish hall for the benefit of the parochial school. and indeed you must admit that that is not a crime. Good deeds can be performed by all nations. No one. and no nation can boast of a monopoly on mercy. Everyone is at liberty to be good. We should be grateful to the Russians for their kind support of our cause for their help, when expected help from quarters of a certain part of the Polish community in New Britain had disappointed us."
 The protest continues to fay the so-called progressives and calls their attention to the fact that there are more criminals now among the Poles than before the work of the progress sives started two years ago. It goes on to state that two or three years heed to Rev. l.. Bojnowski. there were not as many divorce suits among the Poles, seldom was a Po- fish man sent to prison. that there were less disgraceful happenings then than there are now All this corrup- ton among the Polish people in this city is attributed to these so-callcd "progressives."
 In conclusion. the protest reads: Furthermore. you write that you are prospering, that you are inno- cent, that you kept silent-so say also, all those who are not possessed of a sane mind. Do all those who lose their lives on the scaffold, all those who have become enriched on human blood, in general all those with unclean conscience persuade themselves. that they arc innocent. but that everyone is prosecuting them?
 And we. the bazaar committee. the trustees of the parish and the good parishioners. answer you and condemn your dishonest attempts. and state that no harm will come from your disgraceful and malicious islanders at meetings. in the news papers and in complaints to the bishops and people in this city.
 Tt will not help you any, gentle men, to say and write abominable things about our worthy Rev. l.. Bojnowski. Do you think that thus you will hurt him? Not at all, be- cause all lies. islanders which you cast in his direction, do not hurt him. but indeed they add to his prestige and respect because the peo-
