WANT RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
GUARANTEED IN MEXICO
Catholics Opposed to q. S. Recogniz.
ing Any Government There That
Does Not Grant Such.

BALTIMORE, September 2S.-Foi-
lowing conference today with Car
dinal Gibbons, bishops in attendance
upon the convention of the American
Federation of Catholic Societies adopt
ed a report protesting against the rec
ognition by the United States of any
government in Mexico that does no,
guarantee religious liberty. This re-
port was later adopted by the con
vention and it was decided to send a
delegation to Washington this after
noon to lay the whole matter of alleged
atrocities upon Catholics in Mexico be-
fore President Wilson.
The text of the resolution was not
given out, because the delegates de-
cided that the paper should first be In
the hands of the President before being
given publicity. 1t was prepared by
Bishops Joseph Schrembs of Toledo
Ohio; ]. A McFaull of Trenton, N. J..
and Rev. Richard Tierney. S. j., an au-
thority on Mexican conditions.
The resolution, it is understood, de-
nounces the outrages which it alleges
are being perpetrated against Catholics
in Mexico, deplores the silence of the
press" upon the subject; calls on this
government to right the wrongs" and
urges the President not to recognize
any government in Mexico which does
not guarantee civil and religious lib
erty in its fullest sense"

PHILIPPINE BILL DEBATED.
Floor in House Held by Leaders on
Opposite Sides of the Question,

The two leaders of the opposite sides
of the question of Philippine inde-
pendence batt1ed for half of yesterday
afternoon, Representative Jones of
Virginia. author of the pending bill
and chief advocate of its passage, pay
ing high compliment to the achieve
ments of Francis Burton Harrison, the
present governor general of the is
lands. and Representative Miller of
Minnesota terming the bill "bunko
measure" Following them Repre-
sentative Warren Worth Bailey of
Pennsylvania termed the Philippine
history since the Spanish war as an
American venture in Imperialism.
One of the principal speeches of the
afternoon was that of Representative
Fess of Ohio, republican, who chided
the democrats of the south for their
insistence on giving the Philippines an
autonomous form of government Mr..
Fess declared that the southern white
man had contrived to hamper the vote
of the colored man.
The clamor for Philippine inde-
pendence upon the ground that we are
denying them their liberty of govern
mental participation can certainly find
no justification by the members who
persistently deny the same sort of
rights to American citizens.

TO END ARMY-NAvY GAMES.
Garrison Will Recommend Abolish.
ment of Foot Ball Contest.

The plan proposed by Secretaries Gar
rison and Daniels for the playing of
the annual foot ball game between the

resentatives of the two academies. and
as a result the two cabinet members
have given up hope of adjusting the
differences.
Secretary Garrison said this after
noon that he would advocate to the
authorities at West Point that the an
nual game be abolished.
1t is not known what action Secre-
tary Daniels will recommend.
