[} MEXIGAN CHIEE I WODIFYING SPEECH Does Not Blame Entire Catholic Clergy for Murder Mexico City, July 24 (P—A state- | ment by Police Chief General An- | tonio Rios Zertuche was regarded in | some quarters today as possibly pav- | ing the way for an official announce- ment withdrawing the sting of the | recent assertion that the Catholic | clergy were to blame for the assas- | sination of General Alvaro Obregon. | The statement said the clergy were cooperating in the investigation of the slaying. Last week General | Zertuche announced that “responsi- bility for the crime lies with the Catholic clergy.” It was thought to- | day that this first assertion might be modified to apply to some individual or group instead of the clergy as li whole. I The latest police statement served | further to lessen the tension in | Mexico City. In religious circles a feeling of optimism concerning the future was manif, | General Zertuche also stated that | Jose De Leon Toral, the art student | who killed Obregon, had made a complete confession but he did not ! reveal its content » Police were investigating a rumor that Luis Morones, former minister | of labor against whose lift threats |’ had been made, was concealed in | Mexico City. Morones resigned after | Agrarian supporters of Obregon had demanded his withdrawal from the government charging that he was one of the “psychological authors” | of the crime, paving the way for it by fiery speeches against Obregon. Morones’ political enemy. Feeling | against Morones ran high a week ago when Obregon was slain and he has been under constant guard. Gen- eral Zertuche said Morones was now reported to have gone into hiding. | Police stated that the pistol uscd by the slayer had been traced to a man named Manuel Trejo, whom they did not identify. They asserted he had fled to the United States. Traces of the ominous atmosphere which had prevailed since the assas- sination were disappearing perhaps | because of the emotional character | of the mourning for Captain Emilio Carranza. Pledges of support con- tinued to pour in on President Calles from all parts of the country leading to a feeling of optimism for the fu- ture, } BROADCASTING IS FREE | Acceptance Speeches of Hoover uml‘ Smith to Be Put on the Air l-‘!)l‘!

Chairmen of sub-committees on the dedication of the World War memorial, meeting last night as an executive committee, tentatively agreed on the following program to be carried out Saturday, September 22, and Sunday, September 23: Saturday: Street parade, 2:30 p. m.; dedication exercises at Walnut Hill park, 4:30 p. m.; dinner for about 00 visitors at Walnut Hill park at 5:30 p. m.; fireworks display at Stanley Quarter park at 9 o'clock. Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, memorial exercises at the monu- ment, to be conducted by clergymen of all denominations, assisted by a| chorus of 100 voices. Assoclates Rebuke Dyson Discord which has been evident at nearly every meeting since plans for the dedication were gotten under way, made itself apparent for a few | minutes last night when Chairman George H. Dyson, who had disap- proved of the appointment of Sam- uel Greenberg as chalrman of the refreshments committee again made known his displeasure, and was re- buked by Mayor Paonessa, Chair- man Michael W. Bannan of the po- | lice hoard, and Michael J. Kenney. Mr. Dyson had been discussing flle' duties of the sub-committees and when he reached the group over which Mr. Greenberg had been ap- pointed chairman in spite of Dyson's objection, he remarked: “This is a hig job for someone. No one whe hasn't been through with it knows how big it is. The food must be purchased by competent persons and prepared by competent persons, oth- erwise there will be great waste and | danger of ptomaine poisoning.” After some additional discussion | by the chairman along the same line Mr. Bannan interrupted him saying: “Just a minute, please, do you think all this detail 18 necessary? That's a matter that is up to the chairman of this committee and the experts {that you have appointed. In my opinion they are perfectly capable of doing the job. There have been | imuch larger crowds fed than you will have to handle.” | “It's entirely unnecessary." Paonessa agreed. Then, after a hearty laugh: “Particularly this stuil about ptomaine poisoning. Dyson Resents Criticism In a resentful voice, Mr. | made reply: ied to tell what the sub-committe: uties are. I am merely doing that It's no joke, and I know it well, because I was one of 50 men who | Come Wednesday for —business frocks —tennis frocks —tea-hour frocks —sleeveless frocks were poisoned at one time. The man I put at the head of the committee wasn't good enough to remain. I only hope the committee functions properly.” “We are hoping not that the re- freshment committee is able to function properly but that all com- mitteés are,” Mr. Bannan remarked, and Mr. Kenney added to the repar- tee: “When you were poisoned it was at a clambake, wasn't it?" Mr. Dyson answered that it was not, but that it happened at a sheep roast. “That's just as bad. You ate corn that was cooked the day be- fore, visitors on Memorial Dedication day with corn,” said Mr. Kenney. Discussion of the dinner ended at thic point, When Secretary Rodger W. Whit- man called the roll, the following committee chairmen were present: Edward F. Hall, finance; E. W. Chtist, invitations; Anthony 8. And- rulewicz, publicity; Steve Liobb, mu- sic; Samuel Greenberg, refresh- ments; James J. Naughton, fire- works; Jack Lash, automobiles; A. F. Corbin, men's reception; Mrs. Howard S.

Jackson, souvenir program; Michael W. Bannan, ground arrangements. John W. Lockett, chairman of the committee on badges, and Arthur G. Kimball, chairman of the program | of exercises committee, were present. Sheldon Heads Parade Committee A letter was read from Maurice Pease asking that he be relieved of the chairmanship of the parade committee. Hc explained that s duties at the Stanley Works made it absolutely necessary that he re- not sign, and he suggested that Curtiss | L. Sheldon be ..amed in his stead. On motion of the mayor, Mr. Shel- don was elected. He was reached by telephone and came down to city hall for the meeting. Discussion of funds which will be available was cut short by Chair- man E.

Mayor Paonessa sked that a site other than Walnut Hill park be chosen, calling atten- tion to the annoyance hospital pa- tients have suffered in the past.
