July 26.—Martin Dar- l:"r', two-gun killer and automobile thief, today nursed a pair of black sves, a split upper lip and a half zen hody bruises as the result of a thrashing received at the hands of fellow prisoners in the bull pen of “murders’ row” In the county fail. |.The assault was only one of sevéral , disturbing the Sunday quiet of the i#il, which a week ago was the scene of a plot by Henry Fernekes, “midget bandit,” to dyna- q mite his way to freedom.

Eliminated Foreign Priests. “The best proof of the truth of this attitude is the fact that the gov- ernment has enforced the constitution, although it well knew that one of the first results would be favorable to the Mexican clergy, through automatic elimination of foreign priests who did not sign the protest and who in some cases were even an obstacle to the politics of the bad Mexican ciergy who were the enemies of the wovernment; but these foreign priests had to aban: don the country because the constitu. tion so demanded. “However, frankly, 1 believe that, rather than the clergy, the ones most obstructing the govermment’'s admin- istrative task are those of the old re- actionary tendencies, having hatred of the revolution and the revolutionary government, who disguise themselves with the religious cloak and agitate in the mame of religion." The president " stated that, among the groups obstructing the govern- ment’s program, may be found attor- neys, who, through a strong showing of religious zeal, expect to profit pro- ‘| fessionally as managers or attorneys of the clergy’'s property.

Durkin- explained that last Thurs- day while he and a man visitor were chatting through the bull pen screen, “Dog Face” was talking with a girl visitor. “My friend made an engagement with this girl and ‘Dog Face’ resented it. So that afternoon he and I fought in the bull pen and I gave him a pair of black eyes. Sunday he got his gang and came after me.

AMERICAN-OWNED SHIPS INCREASED LAST YEAR Board Reports 10 Per Cent Rise in Number and Tonnage of Vessels Privately Operated. By the Associated Press. Steady and substantial progress in activities “of American shipowners in ocean-borne commerce’ {s reported by Shipping Board experts for the last year, the privately owned American mercHant fleet in operation July 1 this vear being 10 per cent greater in numbers and tonnage than a year ago. The report says there were 1206 such craft of more than 1,000 tons gross, aggregate gross tonnage 5.760,- 000, compared to 1,098 ships and 5,193,- 500 tons a vear ago. Passenger ships Cites Huerta Backers. Another group of actors in the re- ligious conflicts, he declered, was com- posed of professional political agita- tors who, under the cloak of Catholi cism, organized a political party, pos- ing as friends of ‘Francisco Madera. But on the day after Madero's assas- sination, he alleged these persops al- lied themselves with Gen. Victoriano Huerta, Madero's enemy. “I know,” he continued, “that it is very hard for the people of the United States to understand that there are wicked elements who attempt to cover their political ambitions under the cloak of religion. “I envy the United States in that respect, and I know that the churches of the United States distinguished be- tween religious and political conduct. But in Mexico, from the time of inde- pendence to the present, the Catholic Church has been a constant political problem. “This has so weakened the spiritual influence of the Catholic Church in Mexico that, with the exception of a small percentage of good and faithful Catholics who are unable to see through the church's intrigues, all other Catholics in Mexico who are also good Mexicans make a clear division between their religious duties and obedience to their bad pastors, who pursue_political and temporal objec- tives.” Says Opposition Will Fail. “Naturally, my government does not contemplate making the religious reg- ulations less drastic because of the at- titude taken by the political Catholic leaders and bad Mexican prelates as a pretext for opposing the social, con- structive and revolutionary work we are carrying on. “Each new opposition, manifesta- tion or animosity or hindrance to my government and its work will serve to establish new penaltles for th who refuse to obey the Mexican laws. The pastoral letter begins: “His holi- ness Pope Pius has been profoundly moved by the religious persecution which for some time has been un- chained in Mexico, and even before the heinous recrudescence of the last few months his holiness in his last apostolic letter, February 2, spoke of the iniquity of the decrees and laws which had been sanctiened by states- men enemies of the church against Catholics in Mexico. Cites Predecessor’s Stand. “In that letter Pope Pius recalled that his predecessor, Benedict XV, re- jected the same character of Mexican Jaws, and Pope Pius in his February letter repeated and ratified Benedict's repudiation of such Mexican laws.” ‘After thus reviewing the Pope's attitude the letter continues:. “Since 1917, when we (the Mexican episco- pate) raised our voice in protest to his holiness Benedict XV, until the pres- ent time, our conduct has always been of prudent silence, because the Mexi- can anti-religious clauses were not ap- plied to the extent of making impos- sible the existence of the church. had increased from 168 to 175, Nere were 100 additional general cargo boats In operation and the increase in the oil-carrying fleet amounted to six additional ships.

PHILADELPHIA, July 26.—Free amusements to the Sesquicentennial Bxposition yesterday drew one of the largest crowds on record, which offi- cials estimated up to 100,000 persons. The 50-cent admission to the grounds gave free access to the concessions on the Gladway, where all the amuse- ments are concentrated. The Pennsylvania State Building was the only evidence of the fight of religious bodies to keep the exposi- tion closed on the Sabbath. Its doors: were closed by order of Gov. Pinchot. Reports were In circulation that the Methodist Men's Committes of One Hundred, which is leading a campalgn for a closed Sunday, had detectives on hand to gather evidence for further court action under the blue laws of 1794. These reports, however, lacked confirmation.

But former Am- bassador -Child and Edsel Ford are the only ones officially announced thus far. Secretary Wilbur Legves. Secretary of the Navy Wilbur de- parted early this morning after a pleasant and restfyl week end. The Seecretary said yesterday that it was a real treat to get up here after going through the hot weather .in Washington; he ‘sald he slept better his first night in the camp than at any previous time this Summer. The Secretary said he liked the place so well he hated to leave. He accompanied the President and Mrs, Coolidge to church in Saranac yester- day morning.and late yesterday after- noon accompanied them on a motor trip to Malone, N. Y., 37 miles from here. The President and Mrs. Coolidge like to walk through the pine woods, the trails at White Pine Camp heing especially attractive. A day or two ago he discovered that a beautiful tree had been used as a Dbillboard, some one having carved deep into its bark the words, ‘The Texas Kid." “Fool®’ names. and ‘fates are ‘""{: seen in publi@ places,” muttered t| sidetty, Fre; T AT, | “In truth, the governments in power ‘during that period of time undoubtedly placed great obstacles before the church and passed against the church several administrative meaflures exces- sively rigorous and sometimes uncon- eustona but they never made im- stitutional, possible the administration of sacra- ments and the exercise of cults in general. " nst that grave persecution, Whitlf‘;l)uuld be considered as isolated and transitory, we could observe an expectant attitude, seeking harmony, tolerating humiliations, always hav- ing in mind the principles of the divine constitution of the church. But the regulations now issued by the federal executive injure to such an extent the divine rights of the church intrusted o our guardian- ship, are secondary to the. natural rights which both consecrate reli- gious liberty as the primordial founda- tion of civilization and positively pre- geribe social and individual duty to worship God, are so contrary to the Mexican constitutional rights, that before such violation of so sacred moral values it is impossible for us to yield any further. Holds Silence Is Crime. “It would be a crime on our part to tolerate such a situation, and we do not desire that when brought be- fore the tribunal of God the tardy lamentations of the prophet might come to our mind—Woe is me, be- cause I have kept silent.’ “Who will not recognize that an offense truly incredible is done divine rights and natural rights, and to the dearest and most sacred interests of the Mexican nation, when, according to the latest decree of the federal executive, the acts ordered or advised by God, and therefore most sacred acts which the legislation of civilized countries protests, acts which for centuries have been the soul and life of the Mexican people, are made criminal offenses, with penalties more rigorous than moral crimes in general or crimes against life and property? “Who fails to recognize that the present decree, instead of protecting the before-mentioned rights, mecely tends to make the 1317 constitution unchangeable,” whereas the Mexican people for a thousand reasons desire it amended? “Is it not clear that the decree, in- stead of promoting the common wel- fare and assuring religious liberty, as the constitution requires, tends only to make Mexico un-Catholic, and to create for the government a serious problem, and a sad inheritance for its successors? “Protest Before Humanity."” “For this reason, and following the pontiff's example, we protest against the decree before God, before civilized humanity, before ‘the country and history. With God's favor and your (the Catholics and Mexico) co-opera- tion, we will work to effect an amend- ment of the decree and the anti-re- ligious provisions of the constitution, and we will not desist from our pur- pose until it is attained. “As we have said in a. previous letter, our conduct is not rebellion, because this same constitu- tion containing anti-religious clauses leaves the way open for its amend- } s THE EVENING STAR., WASHI ICATHOLICS TO END RELIGIOUS SERVICES IN MEXICO SUNDAY | ment; also because our attitude is | just obedience of orders and because it is just defense of legitimate rights. ““Therefore, confronting the impos- sibility of practicing our sacred min- | istry under the conditions imposed by this decree, and . after having con- sulted the most holy father, his holli- ness, the Pope, and with his ratifica- tion we order that after July 31, until we order otherwise, all religlous serv- ices requiring the Intervention of priests shall be suspended in all the churches of the country. Does Not Mean Interdiction. “We advise you, beloved sons, that this is mot meant to impose on ¥ou the grave penalty of interdiction, but we merely intend to use the only weapon at present at our disposal to protest against the anti-religious clauses of the constitution and the laws thereby sanctioned. “Church buildings will not be closed, so worshipers may pray within them. The priests in charge of the buildings will be withdrawn in order to release them from the penalties imposed by the decree, and so priests will not have to give the notifications required by the law. We leave the churches under the care of the worshipers, and we are sure they will guard the sanctuaries which they inherited from ancestors or which they built them- selves for the worship of God. ““As the law does not grant Catholic primary schools the necessary per- mission to impart religious teachings to which they are bound, we impose it upon the conscience of all fathers to prevent their sons from attending schools where their faith and good customs are endangered and where the texts violate that religious neu- trality recognized by the constitution itself. “It is painful, indeed, to our pater- nal heart that we are forced to adopt such grave measures, for which we assume full responsibility. But you will understand by what has been said that we cannot adopt other lines of conduct. Urges Perseverance in Religion. “Have faith in us, beloved sons, as we have falth in your unbreakable loyalty. Let us all have faith in God. But do not lead a barren life because of this confidence. Remember that Nineveh was saved from destructibn by prayers of penitents. Persevere through God and the holy Virgin with prayers, fasts and peni 1s0. “Do not forget th POO! who are left without means to live. Show your pain by refusing to attend mundane amusements. Seek by all permissible and peaceful means annul- ment of those laws that will deprive you and your sons of the priceless and necessary treasure, religious life. “‘Neither your social standing, nor orders you may receive, nor anything whatsoever will relleve you of the grave crime before God and man of co-operating in the serious evils which are brought about by the application of the antl-Catholic laws. “And for a greater reason it is nec- essary to attach the shameful title of traitor to our own religion and to ap- ply heavy canonical penalties to any persons who, under cover of so-called popular action, may give information against the clergy or sacred property.” (This refers to the procedure whereby persons may inform the government of cases 'where the clergy or churches own property forbidden by the consti- tution, enabling the government to confiscate such property, the identity of their informers remaining secret.) Excommunication Is Threatened. “Some of the penalties which the Catholic Church may impose upon persons who have been baptized there- in are: “Excommunication of those who is- sue laws, regulations or decrees against the rights and liberty of the church. “Excommunication of those who di. rectly or indirectly prevent the exer- cise of religious jurisdiction. “Excommunication of those who dare to bring a bishop before a laical court. “Excommunication of those giving thelr names to Masonry or similar sects that plot against the church or against the church authorities. “Ex-communication of those who usurp, themselves or through others, ecclesiastical property of any nature, or prevent those righttfully entitled to such property from receiving its benefits. “‘On August 1 his holiness the Pope and the whole Catholic world will pray for the Mexican church. Let us join the holy father and our brothers throughout the world in making. that a day of special prayer and penitence. “Let us strengthen our spirits, re- membering how Jesus was persecuted and reviled, but resurrected. And so with the Mexican church; after the persecution it will be resurrected more gl?[“;oull than before.” e letter concludes by im the pastoral benediction. s ROBERT T. LINCOLN, SON OF PRESIDENT, FOUND DEAD IN BED (Continued from First Page.) other respects. He preferred the practice of law to politics and the glamor of public office and finally became head of the Pullman Co., after being its counselor for many years. Besides serving in Garfield’s cabi- net, however, Lincoln was Minister to Great Britain four years under President Harrison. Previously, he had been mentioned for the presi- dency, but discouraged efforts in his behalf. His retiring nature sometimes made it appear to many that he was tactiturn, but his close friends described him as a “warm-hearted, lovable, charrhing gentleman.” He was a delightful conversationalist, a great reconteur and if he knew his companions well he would talk without reserve. “I think that in-his early dayvs those who met him talked so much about his father and expected him to chat on the subject that he with- drew into a shell of reticence, the protecting confines of which he later enlarged,” one of his friends said. Others sald Lincoln feared a false impression might get out that he was capitalizing the fact he was the President’s son. On September 24, 1868, he married Miss Mary Harlan, daughter of James Harlan, who served as Sena- tor from Iowa. Three children were born to them, two girls and a boy, Jack Lincoln, who died while attend- ing school in France. MAINTAINED HOME HERE. 1 Lincoln House One of Show Places of Georgetown. Mr. Lincoln had maintained a pala- tial home at 3014 N street, George- town, for the past decade. It has long been one of the show places of Georgetown. The house is a three- story brick structure built along co- lonial lines and has commanded at- tention from every angle. The inside furnishing and decorations also have drawn the admiration of all persons who have been so fortunate as to be guests at the residence. The house is said to have been built in the eigh- teenth century by a wealthy Scotch shipmaster. s m_his home™Mr. Lincoln, with Mrs. Lincoln, often went on long auto- mobile rides through the city and the s B. & 0.TO CONSULT BROWN ON MARKET Proposed Site Is Adjacent to Terminal—Roberts Says Farmers Sell Cheaper. Officials of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad will confer tomorrow after- noon with Maj. Carey H. Brown, chairman of the speclal committee of the Natlonal Capital Park and Planning Commission, which is try- ing to Iq(‘a!?(u new site for the city’s central market system. Maj. Brown said he didn't just what the railroad officials had in mind, But it was probably for the purpose of obtaining information on the suggested plans for establishing the market on the Patterson track, on Florida avenue northeast. This tract is adjacent to the present B. & O. freight terminal. A statement outlining the value of the farmer's produce market was issued today by George M. Roberts, superintendent of weights and meas- ures, in view of the plans to remove the market from its present location to make way for one of the Federal Government's new bulldings. Purchases Are Compared. “In order to ascertain as nearly as possible the actual benefits by consumers from the market,” said the statement, “actual purchases of commodities in quantities ordinarily purchased for a small family were made there Saturday by a representa- tive of the Department of Weights, Measures and Markets and at the same time articles were likewise pur- chased from retail dealers in another market located in the northwest section. “Comparison of the prices showed that 80 per cent more was charged at the private market in some instances, and that the average charge was a lit- tle over 80 per cent more than at the farmers’ produce market. “On purchases In larger quantities, such as are usually made by boarding houses or for large familles, the sav- ings would have been more, because the farmers prefer to sell in unbroken packages in order to dispose of their produce rapldly. “A total of 431 farmers, cultivating 14,227 acres in truck for market, have been given permits to sell regularly on the farmers’ market this season. Many others bring produce to the market from time to time, some of them com- ing from a distance of 50 miles, be. cause they believe it is more satisfac- tory to sell their own produce than to ship to commission merchants. “During the fiscal year ending June 30 there were 47,892 vehicle loads of produce sold at the farmers’ market. Of course, receipts were heaviest during the Summer and Fall, but con- siderable quantities were brought in during every month of the year, For instance, in November. there were 4,100 loads, and in December, 4,166 loads, while in January the number dropped to 1,469. It is estimated that the total value of produce sold per year exceeds $2,000,000. “The greater proportion of the prod- uce is sold to proprietors of market stores throughout the city, who go there each morning to buy supplies for the day, but larger quantities also are sold directly to consumers, espe- clally on Saturdays. On last Saturday it is estimated that 2,000 heads of familles visited the market and made purchases. The market was as busy as a department store on a bargain day.” know AT T S HUGE CONGREGATION GREETS DR. CHAPPELL Acquitted Pastor Returns to Church as Flock, Overflowing Edifice, Sings Hallelujahs. By the Associated Press. ASHEVILLE, N. C., July 26.—Hal- lelujahs echoed through Central Meth- odist Church here yesterday when the Rev. Ashley Chappell returned to his pulpit after a suspension of two months and a clerical trial which ac- quitted him of serious charges. ‘The last dwelling note of the Hallel jah Chorus” from Handel's Messia had not died away before the pastor launched into his sermon. “The Old Rugged Cross.” The congregation packed the auditorium and overflowed into the vestibules and yards. Dr. Chappell, member of a family long distinguished in Southern Metho- dism, avoided any reference to the af- fair, which began with the arrest in Memphis, Tenn., on a disorderly con- duct charge and came to a climax with the declaration of 13 ministers at Statesville Tuesday that he was innocent of immorality, falsehood and attempted bribery. 2 Special music, the huge congrega- tion, a comment in the printed church bulletin and the fervent reception which made the Asheville pastor its center after the service testified to the dramatic interest in the minister's homecoming and the loyal support which his people have pressed upon him.

His portrait, in either photograph or caricature, faced one of the pages of aimost every newspaper in London today. In addition, the gosgip and editorial columns dwelt upon his per- sonality, achievements, wit, paradoxes and physical youthfulness. The Times printed eulogistic poems in_his honor. Other newspapers re- called incidents in his career—his rise to fame, the fundamental seriousness back of his humor, his generosity and the like. His adelescence, belying cold calen: darial calculation, is the envy and admiration of every one.
