Rebel Attitude TOWARD
Catholics Causes Trouble
BY Associated Ptess

Laredo. Texas, July 1S.-The Con-
stitutionalists' alleged attitude toward
the Catholic church in Mexico has re-
suited in an unusual situation to-day
in Nuevo Laredo. Mexico, opposite
here. Weddings baptisms and even
funerals for Catholics either must be
held without the customary religious
services or else those services can be
obtained only after unusual difficulty
The Catholics are awaiting the out
come of an appeal to General Car
rama to change the situation.
Soon after the occupation of Nuevo
Laredo by the Constitutionalists under
Major Sato he ordered the occupatio
of the Catholic church. The priest,
Father Eglesias, was deported to the
American side. The church since has
been used as a barracks and civilians
have been refused permission to enter.
Women of prominent families re-
Gently petitioned Colonel Murieta, Con-
stitutionalist commander, to give the
church to the public for a primary
school. Murieta answered he would
not permit the building to be used for
any purpose other than as a barracks,
nor will the priest be permitted to re-
turn to Nuevo Laredo.
Catholic residents are without re-
ligious services and the only clerical
services they can obtain are those of
priests from the American side of the
river.

Steel Company May
Build Mill at Lebanon

Steelton people are interested in a
story from Lebanon this morning to
the effect that new iron industry will
locate there.
A Lebanon dispatch says: The
Pennsylvania Steel Company, which
operated the large twin furnace plant
at North Lebanon, will probably es-
tablish a mould foundry in connec-
ton with the place. Negotiations are
now under way with the Valley Mould
and Iron Company for an agreement
Gmilar to that which exists between
the Valley Mould and Iron Company
and the Shenango Furnace Company.
Under this plan the Pennsylvania Steel
Company would sell a part of its pro-
duct in a molten state to the Valley
company, and that firm would then
cast moulds in a plant to be built here,
and would also find a market for the
product. That the plan will be cul-
minute is assured by an authoritative
party in the management of the Penn
sylvania company. The new plant will
employ between $50 and 200 men.
''At the present time the Eastern
steel manufacturers secure most of
their moulds from Pittsburgh and that
region, and plant here would save
a large amount of money in freight.
On the other hand, the Pennsylvania
does not need all its pig iron for its
own use, and this plan will furnish a
new outlet for the product of the blast
furnaces"
The local offices of the Pennsylva-
MIA Steel Company had nothing to do
with the deal, it was said in Steeton
this morning.

Zapata Threatens to
Advance on Capital
Rr AstncintcH Prr,.

Washington, July 1S.-Efforts aim
ed at restoration of peace in Mexico
were reboubled to-day by administra-
ton officials. They were in direct
communication with Carranza, urging
him to proclaim general amnesty for
political offenders, and in touch with
Zapata, the southern rebel whose
forces frequently have appeared al
most at the gates of the capital 1t
was hoped to bring into harmony with
the peace program which contem-
plates the quiet transfer of power
from Francisco Carbaial. Huerta s
successor, to the Constutionalists. One
report stated the southern rebels had
demanded that Carbaial resign within
the next three days ito prevent an ad-
vance on the capital"
Through John r. Silliman, Presi-
dent Wilson's personal representative
at Carranza's S headquarters, the Con-
stitutionalist leader had been urged to
conduct his triumph in a temperate
manner to avoid excesses upon the
entry of his army into Mexico City, to
declare amnesty for the forces that
fought the northern armies and to
recognize the rights of church orders
and foreigners.

SAVES WOMAN AND
CHILD FROM RUNAWAY
Middletown Business Man Grabs
Race Horses Within Few
Feet of Strangers

Dashing madly down the main busi-
ness street ofMiddletown yesterday aft
ernoon a runaway team owned by f. c..
Garman, proprietor of the Middletown
Steam Laundry, was narrowly pre-
vented from running down a woman
and small child and perhaps seriously
iniuring them by the presence of mind
of Stern Detweiler, one of the pro-
prietors of the Detweiler confection-
cry store.
Garman, who was driving the team
himself, left 1t stand outside of a store
in Union street while he went inside.
The horse became frightened. broke
and ran. Down Union street it raced.
Pedestrians scurried to the sidewalks
as the terrorized team raced around
the corner into Emaus street.
Directly in the path of the runaway
a woman was crossing the street at
Union and Emaus streets. She had a
small child in her arm. Detweiler,
coming out of his store in Union
street, saw the peril of the woman and
child. He dashed into the street and
sprang into the wagon. Grasping the
lines he guided the racing team
around the woman and CHECKED its
flight few yards beyond. The woman
boarded a trolley car for Harrisburg
before the spectators could learn her
name.
AS Detweiler brought the painting
team back into Union street he was
greeted by a cheer from the crowd
that had rushed out of the stores to
follow the runaway.

Massachusetts Likely
to Attack New Haven
After Suit Is Brought
Bv Associated Press

Washington, D. c.. July 1S.-The
New Haven Railroad case assumed
new aspect to-day when 1T became
known here that the State of Massa-
chusetts may seek to intervene after
the governments Sherman law suit to
dissolve that system is brought and ask
the courts to force the New Haven to
make a conditional sale of its Boston
and Maine stock. Massachusetts now
has the right to buy the stock at any
time. In recent legislation it reserved
that right, but gave permission to the
New Haven to sell.
The New Haven board of directors
refused to accept that legislation and
now Massachusetts is understood to be
fearful lest that right be endangered
in the proposed litigation. 1t is feared
that If the government wins its case
the court might merely order the sale
of the New Haven's Boston and Maine
stock without restrictions. If Massa-
chusetts intervened 1t would be merely
for the purpose of preserving its right
of purchase. Attorney General McReyn-
olds it was believed here to-day will
not object.
Plans for the governments anti
trust suit reached the stage to-day
where the brief in the New Haven case
was practically ready for filing.

Wilson's Ships Plan
Caucus to Get BaIky
Democrats in Line
BY Assoeiated Press

Washington, d. c., July IS. - The
fight over the confirmation of Thomas
D. Jones, of Chicago, President Will
sons nominee for the Federal Reserve
Board, was in status quo to-day in the
Senate. Action by the Senate on the
nomination awaited the banking and
currency committees minority report
favoring the confirmation of Mr.. Jones.
Its presentation was being delayed
pending the arrival of Mr.. Jones an
swer to the majority's adverse report.
In the meantime the advisabllity of
a Democratic caucus on the Jones
case was being discussed by Senator's,
and there was no relaxation in the
efforts of Administration Senators to
bring into line their colleagues who
have declared opposition to confirma-
tion. President Wilson's earnest de-
sire for Mr.. Jones confirmation is
understood to be the principal reason
for the proposed caucus. The object
of the conference would be to fully dis
cuss the situation in the hope of per-
suading Democratic Senators opposed
to confirmation to get back into line
Mr.. Jones reply was to-day awaited
with interest.
