REPORT OF BURNING SHIP DISCOUNTED BY CHECK Believe Shipping Circles Furnace Doors Cause of Open Rumor. By the Associated Press. TAMPA, Fla., July 19—Reports_that a large steamer was burning late Wed- nesday in the Gulf of Mexico, off Sara- sota, Fla., were discounted in shipping circles here yesterday. Officials of the Coilier Line, whose boats ply between Tampa and South Florida ports, reported that their tug- boat, City of Tampa, left here yester- day. southbound, with a heavy tow of barges, and hazarded the opinion that reflections on the sky from open furnace doors and the consequent ‘“smoke screen” thrown out by the furnace might have caused the mistake. A check of shipping companies and shipyard showed all boats due here had been accounted for, and that no damaged vessel had been reported. The Guif radio reported no distress signals had been picked up during the night. and believed that had a fire oc- curred on any vessel in the Gulf in the viclnity of the coast, it would have been sighted and radioed by one of numerous vessels in that part of the sea. BLAST WRECKS STORE, POLICE SUSPECT FIRE BUG Believe Naptha or Gasoline Was Used in Destruction of Ham- mopd, Ind., Structure. B the Associated Press. HAMMOND. Ind., July 19.—An ex- plosion yesterday wrecked the Goldie Department _Store, a two-story brick strycture, and caured approximately $65.000 damage. The roof and upper walls of the building were demolished. Firemen and police believed naptha or gasoline was poured over the second floor, which ‘was unoccupied, and when the fumes collected the explosion followed. An autombile was seen leaving the vicinity of the store. in the foreign section of the town, shortly before the blast and police said labor trouble might have been the motive. " Damage to the store's stock was estimated at $15,000. ‘Woman Says He Has Threatened Her Since Soon After Wedding.

HARMONY LACKING IN MEXICAN ISSUE Minority Opinion Against Government, and Refuses to Agree to Terms. By the Associated Press. MEXICO CITY, July 19.-—Settlement of the church problem in Mexico does not mean that “harmony has been re- stored in the Mexican family” and that the people have set themselves unani- mously to the task of national recon- struction, as had been predicted in some quarter would be the case, Opinion in the “revolutionary family” is divided today as it was before the church and state brought to an end their three-year-old controversy. And in the present instance those who before were the most ardent supporters of the government's policies find themselves on the other side of the fence. Majority Is Content. The majority of the people, being Catholic, is content with the agreement allowing reopening of the churches, But, the minority, which prior to the agree- ment upheld the government’s stand and which now finds itself opposed to it, is & well organized group and consti- tutes a strong factor in Mexican lifel The minority refuses to reconcile it- self to the return of the Catholic priests. It holds that the Mexican revolution achieved one of its greatest forward steps by riding the country entirely of church association, and that by allowing | the priests to refurn the government rendered null one of the benefits of the movement which started with the over- throw of the Porfirio Diaz regime in 1910. It fs well known that many of the FRIDAY, JULY 19. 1929. most prominent members of this group are strongly anti-religious. An outstanding leader of the anti church minority is Gov. Alberto Tejeda of Vera Cruz. Vera Cruz newspapers published a telegram he is reported to have sent to President Portes Gil, pro- testing against any arrangement which ! would “allow the Catholic clergy to re- turn to the pulpits in Mexico. Similar messages from the Vera Cruz state legislature and various workers' and peesants’ organizations in Vera Cruz also were published. Soon after the church-state agree- ment was concluded the government re- quested the Mexican newspapers not to print anything on the religious subject, and imposed a censorship on incoming and outgoing cables. ‘The censorship on cables was lifted after having been in force only two| days, with no explanation of any kind offered. | TOWERS MADE MEMBER OF AERONAUTICS GROUP | Naval Hero of NC-4 FIli Sworn ght Is on Advisory Committee.
