Havana. April 2s.-Jose Miguel
Gomez, the Liberal leader. in a pub

purchase of church properties by the
government for $2,000,000. He gives
as his reason that the church titles
are questionable and the price is far
in excess of the value of the prop
erty. The buildings are in bad con-
dition, he declares, and it would be
better to replace them with modern
buildings at the same price. He urg-
entity recommends that the govern
ment of Intervention defer the pur-
chase and leave the matter in the
hands of Cuba's future government.

County Attorney John Schenck re-

said that he was Aaron Pigg about
whom considerable has been said in
connection with bribery charges in the
case where his brother was convicted
of running joint. Pigg told the coun-

might be wanted on a charge of tam

Schenck that he had called him up to
say that he would come to Topeka if
such proved to be the case.
While no warrant has as yet been
sworn out for the arrest of Pigg, both
the sheriff and the county attorney are

the case, the county attorney is sure
