The chureh denies it has meddled in politics. Pope: Pius does not desire to interdict Mexico unless absolutely necessary, He has requested the faithful throughout the world to | pray tontorrow for their Mexican co-religionists. The Living Church, national organ of the Episcopalian church, asks all Protestants in the United States to pray with Catholics for “the persecuted church in Mexico.” Bishop George Miller, resident bishop of the Methodist Episcopal | Church in Mexico, says there is tfo religious persecution and that Mexico was forced to use drastic means because “the Roman Catholic __ Priests in Mexico have refused to comply with the law of the land and have persistently meddled in pee WILLISTON AND MINOT FRIDAY "LE CARE aE Weather Report Temperature at 7 a.

LATE FRIDAY-WAS 76 YEARS OLD Suffers Fatal Attack Thursday Morning—Overwork Prior to Recent Primary Election Believed to Have Brought on Heart Attack SENATE TERM WOULD HAVE EXPIRED NEXT MARCH ‘Autobiography, Which He Had Planned to Write” ‘Daring: Summer Vacation, Was Already Started—People May Chotse Successor at November Election Des Moines, la., July 31—(AP)—Senator Albert B. Cum- {mins of Des Moines, a factor in Iowa politics for 39 years and la leader of the national Republican party since 1908, died here late yesterday on the eve of his retirement from public life after 18 years in the United States senate. ricken with an attack of heart disease early Thursday morning, the veteran leader, who had reached his 76th year, failed to rally and suffered a relapse early yesterday after- noon. He remained conscfous until death came at 4:30 p. m., but during his last hours refrained from speaking to conserve ind strength for the unsuccessful battle for life. Senator Cummins had been in bad health intermittently for seven years, but his death came unexpectedly, as it was generally believed he had fully recovered from past illnesses. Working on Autobiography Only a few hours before the fatal stroke, the senator was at work on the autobiography. which he had announced he would start during his final summer vacation as a member of congress. His term would have expired next March and he then would have ended his political career, as he was de- feated for the nomination in the June primary. Those close to him declared that he had regarded the termination of his public life as a great load off his shoulders. They attributed any breakdown which may have contributed to his death to joverwork before the primary election, rather than to subse- quent strain. Senator Cummins first won recognition in Iowa politics as « leader of the “p-agressive” element, but in: later years he was sometimes criffeized for his conservative views. “He won special distinction through his important part in ob- taining such national Jegislation as the Clayton act and the ‘transportation act of 1920. Refused Vice Presidential Nomination In 1912 and again in 1916, Mr. Cummins approached a presidential nomination and he once refused a vice presi- dential nomination. Under the Iowa law, Governor John Hammill will be call- ;ed upon to name Mr. Cummins’ successor, who will serve until the expiration of the term next March.
