Washington, Jan. 1. Secretary Root, by a decision just leudered, practically has thrown into the hands of the civil courts in the Philippines for dec'sion the controversy between the two elements in th'e Cathoitc church in the islands, wh'ich has developed into an actual schism. The schismatics, under the leadership of a priest known by the name of Agil- pay, have retained possession ot a large amount of church property which is claimed by the Catholic church, and the latter appealed to Governor Taft to dispossess the schis- matics. The governor held tiat the question was ona for the adjudgment of the civil courts and the case came to Washington on appeal.

Secretary Root has sustained Governor Taft's view. The importance of the matter to the United States government lies in the fact that the property in controversy is part of which the title must be passed to the United States if the negotiations now In purogress between Governor Taft and Mgr.
