Y., Aug. 16.—A plea for “a little personal consideration” | has been made by Governor Smith | to those who have urged him run again for governor as a stepping | stong to a preside al nomination, Another term would greatly tax his strength, he told a group of| prominent local democrats Saturday night at an informal dinner given | | Norman E. Maclk, democratic | tional committee man. “The work of governor is more | than I reel I ought to be called upon | | to contint he said. I do not want to do it for the next two| years.” | “Give me a little sideratfon. Ther saying about a n gaining the | whole world and losing his own | |soul.

At the Episcopal Christ | eathedral and Union church services with lay readers in charge were held without any interference by the gov- | ernment officials. | The trouble at the church of San | Jucinto arose from the fact that the ‘pc”(‘r‘. had recelved a report that | {the Catholics of San Angel were | planning an armed uprising, while {at the same time the Catholics had | been informed that members of the | Mexican Catholics, or schismatic church, which does not recognize the | Pope, were planning to seize the church, | When the polic: went to the | | church to search for arms, the Cath- sembled for® the defense of | The police endeavored personal con- | is a seriptural| iir, and then ciubbed the crowd with their rifles, The Catholics 1n[ turn stoned the soldiers. | | After the fray the police found the | | Catholics were not preparing for an | uprising and the Catholies discov- | ered that nobody was endeavoring | to seize the: church.

TREASURES FOUND | IN BURIED TOWNY Ranchman Hafipeqs Upon One of Two Located in Mexico Mexico City, Aug. 16 (A—Two re- ports have been recelved here of discoveries of anclent burled cities, The first of these, a Maya city was found near the village of Santa Blean, in the state of Chiatas by a government scientific party, and the other is said to have been. discov- cred on a'ranch, near Jutlahuaca, in the state of Guerrero. Enrique Juan Palacios, a government scientific party, has telegraphed Secretary of Education Puivmotable, ruins of a Maya city have been found containing abun- dant inscriptions, hieroglyphics and precious edifices. It was totally unknown until the present time. No other information was given in the message of Senor Palacios. El Universal prints the story of cond find. It says an elderly ranchman, Isuanko Silva has discov- head of | ered on his ranch caves of an enor- mous area and a beautiful aspect. He found a number cf petrified human bodies, skulls, cooking uten- ils, pottery, knives and forks. There also were discovered 15 “enormous «nd beautiful white marble salons” at one place and 28 similar salons at another place within the cave, Each contained petrified humans and animals. According to El Universal the ranchman is of the opinion that he has discovered a buried city. He is quoted as saying that he intends to build an automobile road to the spot and endeavor to attract tour- ists, Other information which El Uni. v s it has secured is that the Juxtlahuaca caves have been long known to the local Indfans. It says hey were used as a hiding place by the bandit chieftain Antonto H. nandez, who was executed last year after years of raiding in the state of Guerrero. The newspaper says it is believed there possibly is much |treasure in the caves concealed by Hernandez. It adds that Silva, own- ler of the ranch, declares the caves |contain much gold and silver left in them by prehistoric inhabitants. According to El Universal, |though anthropologists say the caves {historicaliy are of the cave-dwelling |period and therefore probably rep- resent former homes of cavemen, rather than a bur'ed city, some In- |dfans of the reglon cling to the be- |lief that they form a city buried by ment for its crimes. or Indians belicve they are only caves where their ancestors lived. Jose Aguflera, one of Mexico's | foremost geologists, is doubtful that |the Juxtlahuaca caves will reveal an 'ancient buried ecity. z Other scientists also are doubtful |that the caves represent a buried {elty. al- | Gillette, Colchester Legislator, Passes Away Colchester, Aug. 16.—Edwin Rus- sell Gillette, 56 years old, former representative in the Legislature from this town, former first select- man, and master of the Grange died earl aturday morning at the Hart- ford hospital.
