APPEAL ID J. 5. ID
 PROTECT CATHOLICS.
Societies in Mexico Charge Atrocities by Revolu-
 tionary Leaders

1 Washington, October H.--An appeal to
 the American government to protect the Catholic clergy and church in Mexico,
 and demand reparation for past outrages was filed with the state department to- day by a committee Of American Federa- tioli of Catholic societies Numerous in- statces of alleged atrocities by revoip- tionary leaders were set forth in state ment prepared by committee appointed at the Baltimore conference of the fed era ton.
 The committee declared the attitude of the Catholic clergy had been one of ab- solute neutrality. striving only to teach the uneducated classes obedience and respect for constituted authority.
 "The revolution which will shortly be said the statement, 'has proclaimed as necessary means for the establishment and working out of it's programme the suppression of three classes which it con- siders to be insuperable obstacles to it's purposes: the regular army, The Roman Catholic party and the large landholders.
 As far as the Roman Catholic clergy is concerned, they have held no offices nor have they been heard in councils of the various governments which have ruled the country during the past 70 years. They have received no favor from these governments. Instead they have patiently borne their oppressive tyranny. Neither have they taken part in any overture"

 Secretary Roosevelt

 many cargoes of illuminating oil, which
 might be made fuel for army motor 1 trucks Zeppelins and aeroplanes. is re- sponsible for the seizure of American Standard Oil steamers by British cruisers This fact was developed in conferences here today, after the state department had requested release of the tanker John D. Rockefeller The Standard Oil com pany has asked the state department to secure release of two more of it's ships, the Brindilla and Plature. Like the Rock efeller, they were captured by British
 warships while bound from American ports to neutral countries. carrying il- dominating oil Only in the case of the Rockefeller, however, has the department felt warranted in taking immediate steps It was under the American flag before the war began, and therefore, is not sub ject to questions which might arise in connection with the other two, which were changed from foreign registry un- der the recent act of Congress.
 The understanding at the British em- bassy Is that Illuminating oil has been regularly declared contraband by the British government. but that the notice has not yet reach ed other powers, It was pointed out that exports of refined petroleum from Am erica to the northern neutral countries are far in excess of the normal consumI tion of those coun- tries and 1t recently has developed that Illuminating petroleu m is capable of be- ing used as substitute for gasoline with properly designed motors.
 Another angle of the question of trans porting goods in neutral ships appeared today when MT. Van Rappard, the Dutch minister, appealed to the state depart- ment to secure for Dutch vessels the privilege of conveying neutral German goods to America. In connection with the exportation or German dyestuffs to the United States. the government of Ger many. imposed the condition that the goeds should be transported in American fottoms under pledge that they should not be diverted to Germany's enemies If this privilege is cxteaded to Dutch vessels, Dutch shipping interests, now greatly depressed, would be much re- iieved

That the management of the county

over to the state board of control.
which has charge of the various char
liable institutions of Illinois, was the
novel suggestion which Acting County
Judge B. s. Bell made to the legisla-
tive committee at the meeting of the
Institute of Criminal Law and Grimm
ology, held in Chicago this week in
connection with the state bar meeting.
Judge Bells plan provoked consid
cradle discussion, along with other
suggestions for reform legislation.
Judge Bell also advocated the estab-
lishment of district county farms. He
claimed that the prisoners needed out
door work and that the scheme would
prove satisfactory to the men as well
as to the authorities. He made the as
sertion that 80 per cent of the jails of
the state had. d.been repeatedly declared
and unfit for use under the
present plan of operation.
