MILWAUKEE, Jan. 22.—Father Hell. tern, a deposed priest of St. Mary Catholic church at Barton, Wis., has filed suit for $50,000 for alleged slander against Archbishop Kalzer of the dio- cese of Milwaukee.

The archbishop is cited toappear before Court Commissioner Ryan to-day. ELECTRIC LIGHT WOR Toronto, Ont., Jan.
