PASTOR DISiPPEIR
Why Did Council President Go?
Question Puzzling
Church
Again l,he congregation of St. Nich
olas Servian Orthodox Church, in the
lower end of Steelton, which received
notoriety recently wlien Iwo warring
actions of the congregation aired
some of their troubles in tho Dauphin
county court, has been thrown into a.
great furore.
Not only has the new pastor, the
Rev. Milan Jugovic, who, following
the court case an tithe sudden flight of
the Rev. N. D. Vukechevich, came here
from Jlc.Keesport to attempt to pacify
the disrupted congregation, disappear
ed from his home, but the president of
the church council, Trlevun Tepsic, ac
cording to members of tho church, lias
also mysteriously absented himself
from town.
Truly there was never such excite
ment in the borough's foreign section
as the reported disappearance of the
pastor of St. Nicholas' llook and his
immediate superior, the church presi
dent has cause. Although the congre
gational affairs of this prosperous
church have always been attended
with bitter feelings and much intrigue,
it is but recently that the troubles
have been aired in public.
Less than a year ago with practic
ally not warning, the Rev. Theofll
Steranovlch, under whose pastorate
the church and parsonage was built,
took a midnight train for New York,
from where.he sent word that on ac
count of alleged differences ho was go
ing into exile in the historic monastery
on Mt. Athens, in the Agean Sea. ',
He was succeeded by the Rev. N. D.
Vukechevich. All went well for a time
until a few weeks ago when the pastor
asked the Dauphin count court to
grant a rule compelling the church
council to allow him to perform all
his pastoral duties. A date was set
for a hearing on the rule, but when the
day for the hearing came announce
ment was made of a compromise.
Within the week the Rev. Vukeche
vich departed, leaving no address.
He was suceeded by the Rev. Jugo
vic and apparently the dove of peace
had spread her wings over the little
church. Just what has caused the new
shepherd to desert the flock is a mys
tery, according to prominent members
of his church, and the disappearance
of the president of the church council
adds to the mystery.
A member of the congregation said
this morning that a meeting of the re
maining members of the church coun
cil would be called to examine the ac
counts.
Trlevun Tepsic, president of the
church council, is the proprietor of a
boarding house at 720 South Third
street. Neighbors in that localitv say
they haven't , seen him since Monday
evening.

Joke Sought by Police
By Associated Press
Chicago, April 1. —A first of April
joke perpetrated by some person un
known to the police to-day caused
more than 500 unemployed men to
congregate in a cold rain in front of
the Soo line freight terminals and wait
for the employment promised by the
joker.
Before the men cold be made to
understand that there was no basis for
the report that the railroad wanted
hundreds of workers, the crowd surged
against the steel gates, breaking the
locks and poured Into the yards shout
ing "give us the jobs."
It took the police nearly an hour
to clear the men out of the yards. The
author of the hoax is sought by the
police. He spread the false rumor
among the hundreds of men gathered
along West Madison street in front of
employment agencies.
