Organized at (irecn HidguAclion
of the Polish Club.
At the meeting of the Central Repub
lican club Inst night the date of the
McKlnley ratification meeting was
changed from next Saturday night to
the subsequent Tuisday night, July 14.
Colonel E. II. Rlpplrt presided and the
meeting was adjourned early In time
to let the members out to see the tire
works display. The ratification meet
ing was postponed because It would
Interfere with the Saturday night trade
of the merchants.
Alderman Millar, the secretary, re
ported for the committee on hall that
it will be impossible to secure the
armory, because the regiment is pre
paring to go to camp, and the Hour of
the armory will huve to be used from
now on in packing up the equipments.
He said ho asked what the Frothing
linm theater could be rented for nnd
was informed that the price Is $1'). but
that the management would dunate
jL'a to the finance committee.
Colonel Ripple suggested that an open
air meeting be held on the court house
square, nnd a platform built out from
the Linden street entrance to the court
house. There will be no question then
about accommodating those who wish
to attend ns there will be plenty ot
room for everybody. The idea met wllh
approbation and Secretary Millar was
Instructed to proceed along that line,
and was given power to act. He iwill
see the county commissioner.-! today
about permission to build the platform.
KNCOniAGlXO unroitTS.
A letter was read from S. J. Mathews,

phant, asking for Information as to the

formation necessary, and the Olyphant
club will come down in largo numbers.
Colonel Ripple said that assurances
have been received from the West and
South Sides nnd Green Ridge that each
section will send large delegations.
Captain V. H. Atherton said the North
Knd will not be behind. The Republi
cans of that place got together lusf
night and organized a McKinley club.
Captain Atherton said, also, that he
has sent an invitation to every bicy
clist in and around the city to join In
the parade.
Captain Thompson had V.vo samples
of caps, both white nnd of the ordinary
make, except that they differed in qual
ity and price. The dearer of the two
has "McKinley and Hobart" ' lettered
above the visor. Tho captain was In
structed to use his own Judgment, nnd
will purchase about 1.000 caps, as that
many men are expected to he in line.
The next meeting will be held Thurs
day night.

event C. S. Seamans, O. S. Jacobs and
t S. .Fowler, Jr., were appointed a

acity permanently.
POLISH RKPVRLICAN CLt'R.
The Polish Republican club of the
South Side met last evening in the olllce
of the Tygondik. the weekly Polish
newspaper published by J. A. Llplnski,
and decided to participate In the parade
on the n!;rht of. the rat I Ilea Hon meet
ing. The club lias a membership of
over 200 nnd by the time of the parade

the time the members will assemble
and form in line to mnrch to the cen
tral city. The constitution nnd rules

WANT THE PRIEST REMOVED.
Committee of Prirrbjirg Catholics
Wait on the Itishop,
A committee consisting of Jacob
Ycrka, John Jezurski, Thomas Krajuck
and oseph Surdykouskl, representing
the congregation of the Polish Catholic
church of Prleoburg, waited upon Hlsh
op o'llara yesterday and asked him to
remove Rev. Father Iwanowskl, the
pastor of the church and appoint some
one In his place. A petition setting
forth the committee's request was pre
sented to the bishop .who promised to
give the matter his attention nnd have
his answer prepared Thursday.
There has be.-n a luck of harmony for
some time between Father Iwanowskl
and the members of his congregation
and the members of the committee al
lege that two weeks ago last Sunday
their priest w hile on the altar removed
his priestly robes and declared that he
would no longer be their spiritual guide
and that he had no desire to longer lie
u Calhc.'ie priest. Tiic following Sun
day he did not read mar.' for his con
gregation and a meeting wns held and
the committre whiot. waited on the
bishop yesterday wns appointed. Last
Sunday Father Iwanowskl read mass
as nstial but many members of the con
gregation would not go Into the church.
lU-Eidcs his removal the committee
asks that Fnther Iwanowskl be com
plied to render an account of the fin
ances of the parish for the last two
years.
ANOTHER AGENT ARRESTED.
Embezzlement Charged Against John
A. Hart, of the West Hide.
John A. Hart, of the West Side;, had a
hearing yesterday afternoon before Al
derman Howe on a charge of em
bezzlement preferred by Charles J.
Helmes, agent of the Pennsylvania
Mutual Life Insurance, of Philadelphia.
Hart was employed on commission and
had a verbal contract whereby he was
to receive Rj per cent, of the first premi
um, but when the policy was delivered
he was obliged to pay the company the
amount less his percentage.
It Is alleged that he failed to account
for $113 that he ought to have paid Mr.
Helmes, and after giving him eut
ficlent time to make good the amount
and his failure to do so, a warrant was
sworn out and he was held In the sum
of $300 for his appearance at court. At
torney Frank E. Royle represented the
prosecutor. Mr. Hart conducted his
own ense and tried to raise the plea that
as there was no contract only a verbal
one, the exact status of the agreement
could not be definitely ascertained and
that he could not be held for embezzle
ment, but might be sued for a debt.
DATE FOR THE CONVENTION.
M ill Probably lie Named by District
Committee Today.
This afternoon at 2.30 o'clock the Re
publican standing committee of the
Third Legislative district will meet In
the arbitration room of the court house.

Crindle docs not state what business
will come before the committee but It Is
generally understood that before It ad
journs a date will be fixed for a con
vention at which a candidate for the
legislature will be named. A date early
In August may be decided upon.
There Is a good safe Republican ma
jority In tho Third district and a nom
ination is usually equivalent to an elec
tion. For that reason a Republican
nomination in the Third is very deslr
able nnd there are several who are will
ing that thev should be honored in
thnt way. Oulte a lively canvass for
the nomination has been in progress for
Konie lime between the following: F.
J. G rover, of Moosie. the present repre
sentative from the district; Attorney
R. H. Holgate, of Ln Plume: Dr. N. C.
Mackey, of Waverly; W. P. Griffiths,
burgess cf Taylor, and J. W. Cure, of
Greenfield.
