Only a National But International Bear ingDefense Sets Up 4he Claim That No Latin Bishop Can Dis cipline a Greek Priest, the Metro politan of Lemberg and Not the Pope Being Supreme. The development of the defense in the Rev. John Ardmun injunction case dis closes that Judge Edwards w ill be called upon to deride a uuestion of not only national, but international importance. This question lias been in the air for eight years, but never before was brought un for adludication. When the United Greek Catholic church, commonly known as tho Ruth enian rite, united with the Roman Catholic church in 1894, It was agreed, among other things, that priests of the Greek church should subject them selves to the bishops of the dioceses in which they might locate, be they Latin or Greek prelates. The United States, as far aH the Gieek church is concerned, is a missionary country and has no Greek bishops. Tho Latin bishops claim that a Greek priest coming to this country must accept the Jurisdiction of the Latin bishops of the diocese in which they locate. Rev. Ard man and many other Greek priests re sist this claim, alleging tlmt the article of tho union referring to this subject is not effective In a missionary country and thut they can otllciate heio under the faculties given them bv a Greek bishop of tho old country. In suiwott of their resistance these Greek priests aver that It was stipulated in tho ar ticles o( union that the pope was ac knowledged as tho head of their church only In matters pertaining to faith and doctrine, and that In the matter of discipline tho Metropolitan of Lemuel g was to be supreme. RECEIVED HIS FACULTIES. Rev, Ardman, as explained at length yesterday, npplled for and received faculties fom Bishop Hoban. Ho claimed, however, that ho did so with out tho knowledge or consent of his congregation and that when ho learned it was against the wishes of his par ishioners thut he should bo under the jurisdiction of tho Latin bishop, ho re quested Bishop Hoban to strike his name from the rolls. Bishop Hoban's testimony was to tho effect that Rev. Ardman was called upon to subject himself to discipline for writing an anarchical article condoning the crime of Czolgosch, and when jn re wponse to a summons to uppenr for trial he aBked to be stricken from the roll of diocesan nrlests, the bishop excom municated him. ' Tho defense opened yesterday with the testimony of a former pastor, Rev, Dr. "W. J, Slemmowlcz, and a number of the present members of tho congre gation, who told that It was the pur pose of the church to remain free fiom the jurisdiction of the Latin bishop, and thut t Is rlcht of the Greek churches to call and release their own pastors without consulting the hierarchy. Then followed the testimony of a number of Greek oriests from various places, in which it was set forth that they came here as missionary priests with faculties from Greek bishops of the old country, and that thev never lecognized the Latin bishops of this country, although the latter In every instance sent them faculties. All of them admitted, however, that they re ceived and never surrendered these faculties. MERELY ACCEPTED THEM. One of them. Rev. John Konstanca vitch, exwlalned that he received the faculties bv mail from the late Bishop McGovein, of Hnrrisburg, and accepted them, as he put it: "Just ns you would a complimentary ticket to the opera house." Rev. Konstancavltcli went on to re late, in answer to questions bv Mr. Hnnd, that he was ordained bv Syl vester, Cardinal Simbrotovlch, Metio polltan of Lemberg, in Gallatia, and dispatched bv him as a missionary priest to the United Stales, armed with faculties from one of the Gullatlan bishops of the Greek church. Ho ic ceived faculties from Bishop McGovein, but did not by any word or act ac knowledge the jurisdiction of tho Latin bishop. He believed that the Latin bishop had no jurisdiction over him, and in conformity to this belief con tinued to act under the faculties he brought with him to this country with out concerning himself about the un solicited faculties' received from Bishop McGovern. On crobs-exumlnation, by Mr. Martin, tho witness udmltted that the Metro politan of the Greek church was ap pointed by the pope. He also told that Rev. Ardman was ordained and com missioned 'n the same manner and by the same prelates that ordained and commissioned him. WOULD NOT ACT UNDER THEM, Rev, Stephen Moltar, of Mt. Carmel, told a story similar to that of the pre ceding witness regarding his ordina tion, delegation and ignoring of the fac ulties sent him bv Bishop McGovein. Ho explained that ho refused to accept the faculties given him by tho Latin bishop because they weio not In accord with tho usages, customs and discipline of tho Greek chuich. Rev. A. Bronchofskl, of Hartford, Conn., who, like tho others, was sent here by the Metropolitan of Lemberg, told that after he hnd boon pastor of a Gieek church in Hartford for seven months, Bishop Tlernoy, pf the dio cese or Huitfoi-d. sent him faculties, which ho had not sought and which he declined to act under, being of tho opinion that the faculties given him ... ! CJreek '''sl'0P l' Gallatia ,wero sulllclent for him In this country, Going Pishing ? Rubber FISHING BOOTS Samter Bros. Rev. Nochalos Podcrlfckl, of Jersey city, testified to being in the same class us the preceding witnesses regard ing ordination and commission, and that he had refused to recognize the faculties sent him by the bishop of Newark. The rules of his church, ho said, prescribed that when a priest was transferred from one diocese to an other, he must receive a release from the one bishop's jurisdiction before he can accept the jurisdiction of another. He was given faculties bjj the Greek bishop and sent out as a missionary. If it were not that his church intended he should continue under the jurisdic tion of the Gallatlan bishop, it would not have given him faculties, but ra ther sent him to this country to re ceive faculties from a bishop here. Mr. Hand next proceeded to qualify the witness as an expert authority on the history and agreements of the union between tho Roman and Greek churches. The witness said ho hud stu died it while in the gymnasium the pre paratory school. It was pait of the regu lar course of each of the four jjeais at his university; one whole year had been given up to Its especial study, and more than 100 different books bearing on this subejet had been thoroughly read by him. SOME TEST QUESTIONS. Attorney Martin thought to test the witness' knowledge and asked Bishop Hoban to suggest some question to be put to him. The bishop whispered something to Mr. Martin and the latter addressing the witness, said: " Who pi escribes the regulations governing the marriage of a Greek Catholic to a Roman Catholic'."' The witness looked tin at the celling, bit his under lip, fidgeted about for awhile, and then protested he did not understand the question. Mr. Martin repeated ltv The witness shrugged his shoulders, and, after u few moments, told Interpreter Martin Woyshner to make it plain for him, that he under stood the language, but not the sense of the question, Ouco more Mr. Mar tin put the question. The audience had come to reallza that tho expert was "stuck," and then a titter ran along the line, The witness was nettled, and sud denly bending forwurd, asked in oxclted tones, "Tell me who gives Polish priests the right to murry Greeks. I propound that question?" Mr. Martin said, "That will be all," and tho examination ended. LIST OF FACULTIES, Bishop Hoban was on tho stand for further cross-examination during tho afternoon, and produced, at Mr. Hand's request of yesterday, a printed copy of tho faculties given prleBts. Later In the day, ono of the Greek piiests, Rev. Mokar, was called to show how these faculties aro not In accord with tho iltes of tho Greek church, When asked by Mr, Hand to point out In what they differed, he ran his eye over tho various clauses, und' then said: "Heie, for Instance, No. 21, Ro sarium ut lion," etc., etc, "There, you see, Is a difference." , "Did you get thut?" Judge Edwards smilingly Inquired of Stenographer Coston, "Every syllable," truthfully, more or less, responded tho stenographer, The hearing was attended yesterday by a crowd vhlch tilled every seat In and out of the enclosure, In the Register's Office. , Resistor Koch yesterday granted Jet- j tors testamentary to Mary Burns, in tho estate of James Bums, late of Scranton.
