Although the authorities had lin- ed the highways with soldiers and police, with heavy reserves nearhy, the solemnity of the occasion was not marred by any untoward event. As a precautionary measure every man and every automobile ap- proaching the shrine was searched by soldiers and police for arms. In accordance with their annual custom the Indians in groups per- formed near the shrine their bar- baric primitive dances. After having made their devo- tions within the shrine the Indians spent the remainder of the day In the sun dancing to the strains of! weird tunes made upon home-made tomtoms and guilas fashioried from | shells of Armadillos. The souvenir venders, side shows, shooting gallerles and merry-go- rounds had their customary day at various points around the church. But inside the holy edifice there was the utmost reverence and su- preme religious emotion. il L BB :15 Hold-Up Victims Not Able to Identify Suspect Bridgeport, Dec. 13 (#—Fitteen So intent were the laymen in| hold-up victims many of whom were | hastening the worshippers that they | chain store managers failed to iden- | cven were hurried along through | tify their suspects heid by the police the edifice while still engaged in|Who were placed in a line up at their pravers. ~ Whoever falled to Police headquarters yesterday. The MENIGAN SHRINE Rich and Poor Rub Elbows at (Guadatupe Mexico City, Dec. 13 (A—For the, first time in history, without priests| in attendance, more than 100,000 persons peacefully worshipped at the shrine of Mexico's patron saint; the Virgin of Guadalupe, Sunday. Members of the upper classes of the Mexican populace rubbed #houl- ders with hordes of Indian piigrims from all parts of the republic. men, women and children, wearing prim- itive sandals, huge straw sombreros and thin cotton garments, as they made their way slowly along the roads, intg the great building and past the altar, to venerate the saint. | Similar ceremonies were held throughout the country. Because of the great multitude that desired to do obecisance, the age-old custom of worshippers crawling on hands and knees along the roads toward the church and advancing prostrate inside the edl- fice was prohibited by the laymen serving as directors so as to prevent the blocking of many thousands of others who would not have been able to get ineide the church had the old and slow custom prevailed. | ment MRS, CHAPLIN MAY 'Likely to Ask Rofa to Amnn!
