SPANISH RIOTERS BURN MONASTERY Corunna Under Military Control Following Disturbances; Other Troubles Threaten Corunna, Spain, July 3—(P)— Burned by a mob of about 3,000 men and women, the Capuchin monastery of San Jose was in smouldering ruins Friday and its priests were hiding in fear of further anti-religious out- breaks. The city was under rigid control with troops and civil guards patrol- ling the streets in compliance with the order of the Minister of Interior Miguel Maura that “order be main- tained.” Incensed by the resumption of masses in the morning, the mob swept out of a bull ring, where they had listened to anti-church addresses, and set fire to the monastery. Fire- men who tried to save the building were stoned and clubbed and their hoses were cut. The monastery burned to the ground, along with four adjacent homes. The troops charged with saber and rifles and the rioters countered with stones, sticks and knives. The mob was tinally driven back while flames devoured the monastery, built four years ago at a cost of $50,000. Part of the rioters raced to other parts of the city and attempted to fire the Jesuit college and the Domi- nican monastery, but were thwarted by the vigilance of the authorities. Three persons, including a priest, were seriously wounded during the night and about nine others slightly hurt. Advices from other parts of Spain indicated labor and poiltical disorders were brewing. Troops paraded a show of strength in Seville.

Fear that inclement weather might prevail to endanger the celebration was dispelled Friday by weather men who said Friday that they dd not anticipate any more than a local shower, if there were any rain at all. Chief among attractions on the Fourth will be the auto races at the Bismarck fair grounds where drivers of national prominence as well as lo- cal speed stars will compete in a series of events. Sizable purses will be awarded to the winners and fair officials have predicted the most ex- citing race program ever put on in North Dakota.

Lincoln together with the Citizens Military training camp battallion will feature the activities Saturday forenoon. At 12 o'clock noon @ salute of 48 guns will be fired from the post cannon with a massed formation of all troops grouped around the flag pole.

Saturday, following the races, Minot and Bismarck base- ball teams will play at the municipal ball park to round out s full day of festivity. Teams are evenly matched, and managers of both aggregations at the city ball park Sunday at 3 p. im. to give Saturday's losers an oppor- tunity to even the series. Many of the visitors expetced here will be parents and friends of stu- dents stationed at the Citizens Mili- tary training camp. They will be given an opportunity to see how the camp functions and to see students in action in the battalion review.
