IMEXICAN BISHOP WARNS CLERGY Church Leaders Must Stay Out of Politics, Declares Mgr. Ruiz y Flores. By Cable to The Star. MEXICO CITY, October 20.—While Catholic laymen have the right, as citizens, to participate in politics and | support this or that candidate for the presidency, the Mexican episcopacy |and clergy should remain absolutely | neutral in any political lssue, asserts | Mgr. Leopoldo Ruiz y Flores, Arch- bishop of Michoacan and _apostolic delegate to Mexico, in & statement izsued Sunday. The Catholic Church, he declares, in view of its present position in the country does not seek to exercise any influence in governmental changes, and | ‘much less does it seek to gain pos- session of the government.” Its only object, he contends, is to obtain, if pos- extend to Mexican Catholics “the same rights that Catholics enjoy in all civi- lized nations.” ‘The archbishop’s statement, issued above his signature, was prompted by recent charges that the Catholic clergy was taking part in the electoral cam- paign in Tampico and urging women to throw their support to_one of the presidential candidates. In view of the charges, the archbishop considered it his duty to define the attitude of the clergy in the matter. ‘The Anti-Re-electionist party issued a statement today reiterating charges of partiality and unfairness against officials in charge of arranging elec- tion machinery for the coming presi- dential election. Voting officials the country are being selected with the view of aiding the National Revolutionary party, accord- ing to the statement. | . BANDIT LOCKS 5 IN VAULT.

PROSPECTIVE JURORS QUIZZED ON DRY LAW Views Sought as Plans Are Made for Trial of Undercover Agent for Murder. By the Associated Press. CHANDLER, Okla, October 29.— Views of prospective jurors on prohibi- | tion were questioned closely yesterday by attorneys for Jeff D. Harris, under- | cover man for a Federal prohibition agent, as a jury was being selected for his trial in State District Court on a charge of murder arising from the kill- ing of two farmers in a raid near Te- cumseh on July 4. Veniremen also were asked whether bers of American Leglon or World War veterans. Oscar Lowery and James Harris, the slain men, were veterans who had seen over- | seas’ service. The trial was brought to Lincoln County on a_change of venue from Pot- tawatomie - County, because of the in- tense feeling there. Lowery and James Harris were killed at the latter’s home when Jefl Harris, a 65-year-old man, came to the tenant in search of liquor. Mrs. James Harris, widow of the slain man, charged that Jeff Harris shot Lowery, her brother, !as he was pleading for mercy, and that | her husband was_shot after he had | surrendered to Jeff Harris and W. W. Thomason, Federal prohihition officer in: | charge of the raiding squad.
