THE CHURCH AND POLITICS

Natior al Democratic Committeeman
Edwin A. Newman, of the District OF
Columbia, related last night in Wash
iugton q conversation he had with Oar
dipal G ibbons az important in indicating
the attitude of the Ca holic Church In
the present presideGtsl campaign.
"Cardinal Gibbons eta ed, said Mr..
Newman, "tta at he made it rule not to
discuss party polite 10 puplic manner,
nor to d sclOse his own preference for
this or that tandidste for Office. To do
so, he ssid, would possibly expose him
and the Ca holic Church to undeeerVed
criticism. The church does net attempt
to control the political views or political
conduct OF It's members, said the car
dinsl. 10 the United S a'e Catholics
are to be found in ell political parties,
and each member OF the church 10 free
10 think aud vote as he plesses on pOliti-
cal and economic questions. Any attempt
to bring the church into the political
RIA or make 1t the champion or oppo-
uent OF a1y candidate or party does it q
grave il justice.

GETS S61,OOO FROM A BANK. Mexican Institution Is
 Swindled. TELEGRAPHER A CONFEDERATE Check for the Money Was Cashsd
 Promptly. Letters of Credit Were Honored when Message Was Received saying They Were Al RiEht--
 Rebber Escapes.
 

City of Mexico, June s--It became known today that the Bank of Jaliaco of the city of Guadalajara had been victimized to the extent of S61,000.
 On May 27 last an individual calling himself Ernesto R. Armada Uriguijo, presented letters of credit from the Bank of Sonora and Hermosillo to the officials of the Guadala5ara institution.
 As they had short time before re- ceived teIegrams from the Sonora bank saying that such credentials would be presented by Uriguiio. he was received without question at the bank. He pre- sented a check for ss1,o00 on the Ma tional Park Bank. a United States in- stitutfon. The Jallsco bank did not care to honor the check, but telegraph ed the Banco Centrale of this city. who sent them $30,e00 on the paper.
 Later the man came to this capital and the Jalisco bank had the remain ing s3i,o00 telegraphed to him. The Banco Centrale learned that the orig fnal check was forgery but by this time Uriguijo had disappeared.
 It is believed that the man had a confederate In the Federal telegraph office who sent the bogus messages to the Ja1lsco bank.
 The police are now searching for the man. but he has had 2 two days start.

Washington, June 6.--(Special. )-- Henry E..

Hefiin has gone home.
 Many of the administration Republi- cans are fairly snickering over the way that Charles H. Scott and his fol- lowers were done up before the Ma tional Committee at Chicago. The anti administration people were relying largely upon Scott to put in effective work for the allies and are all tn e more disappointed because Scott was said to have blood In his eye for Frank Hitchcock, head campaign manager.
 Some of the administration fellows talk as if they thought the Taft boom CTS are probably overriding the thing at Chicago In deciding against so many of the negro contestants, and it is known that many telSgrams have been sent out urging that delegations be given half votes to certain extent so that 1t may not look so much like general freeze-out for the negroes and complete victory for the Lily Whites and the officeholding class
