- MEXICO SEARCHES OUT MORE PRIESTS Action Follows Deportation of 8 and Execution of 1 in Alleged Plots. Py the Associated Press. MEXICO CITY, April 25.—Having deported elght archbishops and bishops and executed priest on the charge, the government was engaged today in secking out other priests alleged to be implicated in a revolutionary move- ment. Despite vehement denials by the Mexican Catholic authorities of all con- mection with the rebellion, ernment places responsibilit gutbreaks on the Catholic priests and some laymen. Two Sent to United States. ‘Archbishop Pedro Vera Zuria of Puebla and Bishop Jose Manrique Za- yate of Huejutla were put aboard a train bound for Laredo Friday night, ghortly after six prelates, including Archbishop Mora Del Rio, had left the eountry. Zarate has figured prominently in the controversy, which began with the promulgation of the religious laws last Summer.

An officlal account of the execution of the priest at Rio Del Cuale, in the State of Jalisco, says he was captured with others in an engagement against government troops. He was killed, according to the government, because he was involved with another priest in the organization of a rebellious movement. In well informed quarters it is be- lived that only five Catholic prelates now remain in the country, among them Archbishop Orozco Y. Jiminez of Guadalajara, who is said to be in Bbiding :n Jalisco. PRIESTS REACH LAREDO. for the scopate, Describe Conference That Resulted in Deportation. LAREDO, Tex., April 25 (®.— Bishop Jose Jesus Manriquez y Sarate of Huejutla, Mexico: Archbishop Pedro Vera of Puebla and Alfredo Freyria, astor of the Immaculate Conception Cathedral of Puebla, ordered deported m Mexico on Friday night, arrived ere yesterday. The bishop had been held a pris- ener for a year in the State Prison in Pachuca, Mexico, he said. Archbishop Pedro Vera and Mgr. Freyria were taken from Puebla to MMexico City last Friday to appear before the minister of the interior, according to statements given out ere today by the churchmen. At the conference the two Catholic ecclesiastics were informed, they said, that President Calles had deemed it advisable to have them leave Mexico ‘on the ground that they were respon- sible for inciting the people against the government and causing revolu- tionary troubles now threatening Mexico. They said they protested the brder and denied any responsibility for the troubles. Revolt Charges Denied. ROME, April 25 (#).—Mexican Pishops resident in Rome issued a tement on the recent train tragedy n the State of Jalisco. They deny the violence attributed to Catholics, end declare: “It is false to assert that Mexican ‘bishops ai1e leading an armed revolt.” NELLIE ROSS HOPES CATHOLIC WILL WIN © IN PRESIDENTIAL RACE (Continued from First Page.) litical assembly where they may gathered, that they will sanc- tion no policy that deprives any person in the United States of the gull rights and privileges of citizen- ship because of religious affiliation.” WET HOPES MINIMIZED. “Politically, the United States is one dry, but has not vet found it ut,” Mrs. Jesse W. Nicholson, head 6f the National Woman's Democratic Law Enforcement League, declared yesterday in a statement explaining the idea back of the national confer- ence in Washington called by her or- ganization for May 6 and 7. “The people have back of them a series of elections extending over 10 years, in which prohibition has been the issue,” she said. “When it is the Issue the result is inevitable.

The commander of the American troops at ientsin has issued an order requiring officers to spend from 6 to 10 hours a_week study ing the language. Knowledge of the language is held to be helpful in handling disorganized bands of Chinese troops and conversing with the military leaders of China.

CHANG’S STRENGTH GROWING, RECENT EVENTS INDICATE | (Continued from Radicals, who were determined to re- move Gen. Chang and all other Mod- erates. He said the atement de- nouncing Gen. Chang, which was at- tributed to him and issued from Han: kow by the Nationalist News Agency, was made under dure! Removes Hankow Appointees. Gen, Chang has retaliated by remov- ing all officials in the Shanghal dis- trict who were appointed by the Han- kow regime. The finance minister, who sent here from Hankow to take charge of the large revenues of this port and province, is unable to function and is virtually a prisoner, living in the French concession, while an appointee of Gen, Chang handles the funds. Although these moves show posi- tively that Gen. Chang has burned the bridges between himself and Hankow, thereby opening the way for return to politics of many well known leaders who retired two years ago when Radicals seized the Kuo- mintang organization at Canton, he is having difficulty in filling his cabi- net. If enough of these former lead- ers can be persuaded to return to ac- tivity, the Nationalist movement will take 'a long step toward _sanity. Among those who may come back to influence are men like C. C. Wu, C. T. Wang, Tsal Ting-Kan and Wang Chung Hui. Tension Greatly Eased. The tension at Shanghal is greatly eased because of the effect of the Kuomintang split which has made it improbable that attacks will be made on forelgn concessions. It now is also probable that Gen. Chang's announced policy of trying to recover these con- cesslons only by negotiations will be pursued, opening the way to peace- ful compromises. Most foreigners here believe Gen. Chang is sincere in his expressed in- tention of suppressing disorderly ele- ments and the forcing of the Com- munist element from the Kuomintang. This puts a new aspect to the situa- tion regarding the demand of the pow- ers concerning the Nanking outrages. There is some doubt now as to where to address further notes— whetker to Nanking or Hankow. The feeling grows that the powers should distinguish between the regime of Gen. Chang and the radical Kuomin- tang left wing now controlling the Hankow region. It also is thought that it would be unwise to press Gen. Chang at this critical juncture as it might prejudice his chance of forming a moderate government, thereby hurt- ing foreign interests. ‘Would Back Chang. Some foreigners here advocate for- eign financial aid to him so that he can become stabilized in the eastern Yangtse provinces, letting Hankow alone for the time being. It is under- stood that a private meeting was held yesterday of leading Chinese and for- eign bankérs at which this matter was discussed. All stable Chinése classes strongly support Gen. Chang, believing it to be the best chance of overthrowing the radicals and restoring the Na- tionalist movement to a sound do- mestic and foreign policy. This view was urged upon the foreign bankers, and they were asked to use their in- fluence with local authorities and for- eign governments to prevent actions causing further excitement and re- sentment among the Chinese and al- lowing present unrest to subside. The bankers adjourned without decisive action, but many foreigners think the powers may be wise in taking their time. The Japanese financial crisis and the overthrow of the cabinet excuses a slight delay, during which the Hankow regime, now threatened from two sides, may collapse. Observers here are inclined to believe the as- sembly of nearly 50 foreign warships at Hankow is intended to help Gen. Chang obliquely by menacing the Hankow regime and hampering its finances, military movements and morale, thereby causing moderate Chinese throughout central China, who are believed anxious to restore normaley, to withdraw support. Different Aspect Evidenced. The naval assemblage is outwardly designed to_ support the note which is pending, but late events give a dif- ferent aspect The new turn of events revises talk of possible truce between Gen. Chang and Marshal Chang Tso Lin of Man- , but there is still room for lation. irritating condition is caused most continual firing between the forts of the lower Yangtze and passing 'hese forts, which Yangtze, apparently are manned part- by Northern troops and partly by antonese not yet under Gen Chang's control. Their officers seem to think war exists between China and the | powers. Too much importance should not be given such incidents. Business Life Resumes. The easing of the situation at Shang- hai is shown by the opening of all big | Chinese stores, illumination of the great white way, and the outwardly normal aspect of the city except for "h martial exhibitions as soldiers |and barbed wire barricades in the streets. The exodus of foreigners also slackens, showing returning confi- | dence. { The general strike is slowly dying | and many factories are resuming the majority of their shipping.

High School Dra- has been awarded the Brown University Alumni Cup for dramatic excellence during 1927, it was announced at the Franklin School today by Assistant Superintendent of Schools Stephen E. Kramer. “Clarence,” the Booth Tarkington play, presented by the Tech dramatic organization, the five 1927 judges de- cided, was the best of the four Spring plays entered in the annual contest. Dr. George K. Anderson, professor of English at George Washington Uni- versity, in making the announcement on behalf of the judges declared the Tech students deserved a great deal of vredit for the excellence of their performance and that the selection of McKinley as the winner was almost unanimous. All Plays of High Grade. “In spite of this, however,” Dr. An- derson informed Mr. Kramer, “the quality of the four plays entered in the contest was of such a uniformly high character that there was no predominant favorite, and it was only after the judges resorted to the low- point system that the winner w: obtained. ‘With Technical High School winner of the 1927 Brown cup, each of the four competing high schools have en- joyed “one win” since it was first placed in competition in 1924.

Under the conditions that the Brown University alumni put the cup up for competition, any high school that wins it three years co secutively will hold it permanently. The judges, in their formal report to Mr. Kramer, remarked on the beautiful stage settings effected by the various high school dramatic or- ganizations. The judges who, together with Dr. Anderson, rendered the decision this vear, were Mrs, H. L. Hodgkins, mem- ber of the board; Mrs. Maude Howell Smith, Rev. Edmund H.

DESTROYER AND BRITISH SHIPS (Continued from First Page.) ‘Washington Government and some of the other four at least regarded the note proposed by the Peking diplo- mats and the action which it con- templated as too drastic in character, there appears no reason to suppose that diplomatic discussions in Peking will not proceed as heretofore. Eugene Chen has requested Amer- ican firms in Hankow to resume busi- ness operations there, but they place no credence in his promises of as- sistance, Admiral Williams, com- manding American_naval forces in China, advised the Navy Department today. The admiral sald that Chen had in- formed the consular body at Hankow that the Nationalist government would not assume responsibility for damage to buildings and other foreign- owned properties and that the con- suls, in turn, had notified him that the Nationalist government would be held responsible. Hankow Situation “No Better.” Conditions at Hankow were said to be “no better,” with the financial situation described as “chaotle, with no hope of improvement.” Cantonese troops continued the bom- bardment of Puko, across the river from Nanking, using the guns of the Lion and Tiger Hill fortifications, Ad- miral Williams said. “Fairly accurate reports state that Chang Kai-shek’s troops are now near Kiangsi-Hunan border, moving toward Shanghai,” he added. “Trenches are being dug in the rear of concessions and ex-concessions. Two Krupp guns have been mounted on a hill in Wuchang, bearing on Hankow.” Admiral Williams said that he had sent a landing force ashore at Hankow to guard the upper Standard Oil in- stallation. _American destroyers ir the river also were watching the oil property. The ofl works were being closed down and employes paid off. Bids for U. 8.

Wheeler BY “HIGH-PO Seeks to “Force” to Retain Dry Chief. Disclosing copies of documents and letters of the Anti-Saloon League, which show that the league had been able to block four “attempts” to re- move Roy A. Haynes as prohibition commissioner, William H. Stayton, national chairman of the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment, Jast night charged t Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel of the Anti- Saloon League was running through- out the Nation “high-powered prop: ganda” to force Secretary of the Treasury Mellon to keep Haynes still in power against his own “deliberate decision.” The charges were contained in a let- ter to Secretary Mellon, copies of which were sent to President Coolidge, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Andrews, Acting Prohibition Com missioners Haynes and Wheeler. With his letter Mr. Stayton inclosed a long list of documents showing the fight Wheeler and the league had always made for Haynes since his first appointment. Temporarily in Position. Haynes now holds the tempors appointment of “acting commissioner” and Secreta Mellon has under consideration the problem of whether to make Haynes the per- manent commissioner or to appoint another in his place. Although Se retary Mellon ha admitted there has been considerable opposition to Haynes, and it is known this opp ition has come from both wet and dry sources, the broadside which Stayton has de- livered is the most extensive yet r_n.'\(le public. The statement made public by Mr. Stayton with his letter to Mellon and the documents comprise nine ypewritten pages. R Neclor s charged with writing letters to State superintendents of the Anti-Saloon League since the tempo- yary appointment of Haynes urging them to have “Secretary Mellbn and President Coolidge flooded with letters requesting that the Hay nes appoint- ment be made permanent.” Copy of a similar letter to the super- intendents was disclosed in which Wheeler asked to have letters written “to influence the Civil Service Com- mission to make a regulation that none but drys could be appointed as prohibition agents.” Stayton’s Statement Outlined. In his letter to the secretary Mr Stayton said he was bringing “‘certain documentary evidence” to the officiai attention of the Treasury, “not in criticism, but that the people may have knowledge as to whether their Government is being administered as the Constitution directs, by ‘th duly elected and appointed officials, un: hampered by self-seeking, meddling busybodies, or whether this be- come na government of professional propagandists, by profe: R}ionfll propa- gandists and for professional propa: gandists L “The records which I am submit- ting,” sald Mr. Stayton, show that ‘Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel and legislative superintendent of the ‘Anti-Saloon League, reported to the executive committee of the Saloon League in November, that on four occaslons the super officers of Mr. Haynes in the Trea ury Department had slated him for removal from office, and that on each occasion he. (Wheeler) has been able to learn of it in advance, and by ap- peal to the President, prevented the Treasury officials from discharging what they evidently conceived to be their duty.” Wheeler Justifies Course. Later, Mr. Wheeler, saying he had learned of Stayton’s letter, said the Anti-Saloon League has “no apology to make for asking the people to ap- peal to the President and .the Secre- tary of the Treasury to appoint Maj. Haynes.” record justified it,” Wheeler 'and the tactics of his opponents furnish additional reasons for his ap- pointment. It is obvious that this smoke-screen attack is timed for the purpose of attempting to influence Secretary Mellon in the appointment of the commissioner of prohibition. He added that the Stayton state- ment “is based on evidence secured by indefensible and unethical means,” but that the Anti-Saloon League does not apologize for its efforts in Haynes’ behalf. ‘Wheeler's report to the league com- mittee that he had beecn able to block the Treasury in four different at- tempts to dismiss Haynes was dis- closed by Mr. Stayton in quotations from Wheeler's own reports. Citing that the report was made to the executive committee of the leagus November 25, 1924, Mr. Stayton point- edly told the Secretary “as you are the head of the Treasury Department it appears from his réports that, al- though he has no responsibility to ths Government, he as an outsider was able to overthrow the deliberate dec slons of the Treasury Department in this matter, Quotation From Statement, “‘Within the last three years four attempts have been made to oust Com- missioner Haynes from his office.

The street cars remained idle on the tracks until 3:25 o'clock, and suburban cars did not begin to roll until 4 o'clock. Hundreds of passengers using the Washington, Baltimore & Annapolis Railway Co. spent more than two hours yesterday afternoon stalled at various points along the line, while a similar experience was afforded those aboard the cars of the \Washington- Virginia Raflway Co. and the Wash- ington & Old Dominion Raflway Co. Many of those aboard the Washing- ton Railway & Electric Co.'s cars abandoned the cars and walked home, several hundred persons stranded be- tween the Zoo and their homes, mak- ing the rest of the distance afoot. Pedestrians lined the sidewalks along the routes of the idle car lines. Apartment Elevators Shut Off. Apartment house dwellers got along without elevator service during the suspension of power. Those who use electric cookers found themselves un- able to prepare their food and had it not been for an emergency plant which took care of the telephonic sarv- ice telephonic communication through- out the city would have been cut off. sts at hotels suffered surprise and some inconvenience, but there was little excitement and hotel men stated this morning that their guests took the suspension of service in an ex- tremely good natured way. Had the eleectric power gone off at night panic might have ensued, it was in- dicated. When the elevators at the May- flower Hotel ceased to run, guests were forced to climb to their rooms via the fire towers situated in the hotel. The landings were lit by candles and additional candles were placed in the corridors, offices on the promenade and in the kitchen where chefs prepared the evening meal. Several big boxes of candles were used during the afternoon. Trouble at Washington Monument. Visitors to the Washington Monu- ment came in for some unexpected exercise, except for a lucky 30 who were being discharged from the ele- vator at the base of the shaft as the power went off. Those who were on the landings and at the top walked down. Those hearing a program broad- cast by WRC received intimation of the accldent when the program abruptly stopped.

Nothing will be spared, in the opinion of those in charge, to give the church a place among the architectural beauties of the National Capital. 200 to Attend. The meeting here Wedr be attended by about 200 re tive ministers and laymen from the Christian churches of the country Preliminary conferences on the mat ter were being held today by Rev Dr. Earle Wilfley, pastor of the Ve mont avenue church, and members of the committees in charge. The building site committee, it was announced, feels that “no more stre teglc location could have been found for a downtown church,” situated as it is *“overlooking beautiful Thomas Circle, within six blocks of the White House, and adjacent to the business district of Washington.” Thke congregation which will occupy the building is known among the Disciples of Christ as the ‘“‘mother church.” It was attended by James A. Garfield during his presidency. Concelved By Pioneer. Building of the representative church in the Capital City was first concelved by Alexander Campbell, pioneer disciple, when he wrote in “The Millennial Harbinger,” after a visit to Washington in 1851, “The brotherhood should erect a large and commodious house of worship at the very attractive and radiating center of this great Nation.” In recent years the plan has been gradually taking definite form and has been approved by four annual in ternational conventions of the Di ciples, the last at Memphis last No. vember. New impetus was given at this time when R. A. Long, wealthy lumber man of Kansas City and lead- ing layman among the Disciples, of- fered to give $100,000 toward the project provided at least $1,000,000 was raised. The campaign for funds will be under the management of an admin- istrative committee of 20 prominent ministers and laymen. This commit- tee has chosen as director Dr. H. H.
