By the Associated Press. BUENOS AIRES, December 27.— | i | | The action of Bishop Boneo in send- |3 ing to Foreign Minister Gallardo for the government's approval the pon-| tifical documents accrediting him as apostolic adminlistrator of the arch- diocese of Buenos Aires came as a general surprise today. It had been expected by both the newspapers and clerical circles that he would persist in his refusal to present the docu- ments and bring to an issue the ques- tion of the Argentine government's authority In the present controvers: A strained situation appeared im minent between the government and the Holy See because of the bishop's disinclination to comply with the formality of presenting his creden- tials. In a letter accompany documents Bishop Boneo stated had consulted qualified advisers and was convinced he had not failed in his duty as a bishop and as a citizen. He added: “But in deference to my high con-| sideration for the government and the standards of prudence which the Hiolv See hos marked for its bisho in their relations with civil govern mwenws I am counseled to omit all legal representations and accede to the presentation of the documents requested.” BOY, 3, SHOOTS SISTER WHILE PLAYING WITH GUN Girl of Eight in Critical Condition in Hospital—Child Takes Re- volver From Drawer.
