BUYS BLACK KITTENS WITH $89.93 IN CASH (Continued from Page One.) went with the deal. Mr. Roper plans to ‘do some rano- |vating in the premises, after which he will enter into active business. He will change the name so that the establishment will 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 a 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 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 Luilding and that nonme will be placed by any until the premises arc tenanted and business is begun. The inn was crected by James Tobin a few years ago, the original building being about one-third present size. It was enlarged twice. Fobin fell into the clutches of the |Liut as it is sa law recently, his arrest for violation | of the liguor law taking place while ! the inn was accommodating pacity attendance of dancers and diners. On the night Tobin was heduled to appear in court he left the city. |pon his return he faced trial, paying a money penalty while Sub- scquently he filed a petition in bank- ruptey, appending a long list of a ca- [creditors in which members of his own family appeared to be the heaviest losers.

Lucyan Boj- nowski and Hurls Coun- ter Charges Against His _ Detractors. Because of attacks made by cer- tain circles of the Polish communit in this city on the charitable insti- tutions of the Sacted Heart parish and their founder Rev, Lucyan Boj- nowski, in the matter of account: of the last in November, the bazaar committee issued today a statement of explan- ation and a protest against the criti- cism made in a Polish newspaper subsequent to the bazaar. The statement gives informa! as to the accounts of the bazaar, stating that the net income was $3. 396.49, which was turned over to the management of the Polish or- phanage on Burritt street, namely to the Sisters of the Order of Im- maculate Conception of the Blesscd Virgin, who care for the asylun. an expression of thanks to all those who contributed, the committee at- taches a lengthy protest against the denunciatory remarks of people |made against the bazaar committee rand Father Bojnowski. The protest derides the attitude of la class of the Polish community and | especially & Polish newspaper in making attacks upon the Sacred Heart parish, its charitable institu- | tions and on the character of Father | Bojnowski. The instrument, issued committee contains among other paragraphs an open denunciatjon of the attacks made upon the church. It is alleged in the protest that a journal printed in Polish has been the source of many attacks on Father Bojnowski, ac- cusing him of failure to give ac- counts of the bazaars given in the past for the benefit of the orphan- age and other parish institutions. Priest Does Not Arrrage Bazaars “We, members of the bazaar com- mittee, publicly announce that the bazaars for the {phanage, home for the aged | cther instituticns. by Rev. L. Bojnowski, and so he is not obliged and cannot give an ac- count,” the protest reads. “The ba- zaars are arranged by the various committees or by the sisters, and so these people have to give an |counting and said are published in the Catholic Leader for the good people. During the bazaar held last No- vember, dancing was prohibited aft- er the bazaar was in progress two or three days. There was a commo- tion at the hall and the incident was reported to the police. It is allescd in the protest that at the time, *he “yelow press” condemned the aiti tude of the~bazaar committee. To this the committee replies as fol- lows. “A certain gentleman writing in a certain ncwspaper, reached be- yond the scope of his mental abili- ties, when he questions certain dog- You must know, ‘sir’ that if someone wants to write something about th: dogmas of roligion, he must under- stand fhem thoroughly. he must adapt his lifce. his conduct, form with these dogmas of faitin. ‘in dwarfish m can be born. and only dw: ish id you, sir, are re which you have not the least con- ception.
