PRIEST DISCUSSES MEXICO.
Conditions Said to Be Worse Than at
limo of First French Revolution.

Pittsburgh, April 13-The Very Rev
Francis C. Kelly, of Chicago, president
of the Catholic Church Extension So
ciety, today discussed Mexico and the
American Church. before an important
gathering Of clergymen here. The oc-
casion was the dedication OF Synod
Hall and Chancery building Of the dio-
cese of Pittsburgh.
DR.. Kelly said that present day diff
ficulties in Mexico were largely be-
cause of three serious questions:
The rights OF conscience, land and
education. Mexico, he said. had been
without freedom of conscience for over
fifty years. Church property had been
confiscated to the state by Juarez and
never returned. Religious schools have
been closed and the teachers ordered
dismissed. In the large cities schools
were supplied by the state but outside
such communities; Mexico practically
has no schools. The state has never
been able to supply them and the
church was not allowed to do so.
Murder . Minor Fault.
rThe church has avoided interference
in political affairs and churchmen are
notoriously timid even about their own
defense" he said. The church ac-
cepted Juarez. Diaz and Madero. She
will accept whatever legitimate rulers
comes out of the present chaos.
"The story OF the present revolution
in Mexico Is far. worse than the story
OF the first revolution IN France. Muir
der has been one Of its minor faults.
The attempts were made to deny out
RACES on the sisters. they are now ad-
mitted, but the worse story has never
been told. Once $50 sisters left Mex
leo City for, Vera Cruz during the
American occupation. but the train ar
rived empty. They were removed from
the train by the revolutionists.
"If the United States is to be the
sister of Mexico TO the advantage OF
both, our sister must rid herself Of
prejudices and substitute q spirit OF
understanding for q spirit Of greed"

MARooNED ON AN ICEBERG.
Icy Cape Esquimaux Report Sesin
Caucasian on Floe.

Nome, Alaska, April 13.-Nattves
hunting seals last winter are reported
in mail advices received from Icy cape
on the Arctic coast near latitude 20, to
have seen white man marooned on
an ice foe which was drifting in the
southwesterly direction toward Wran-
gell island Whether the man was
member Of Vilhjalmur Stefansson's
Canadian arctic expedition or was a
survivor of the wrecked whaling
schooner New Jersey the natives were
unable to determine.
The ice was moving steadily south
west, and unless the wind shifted must
have touched Wrangell island, where
food caches were left last summer by
the party which rescued the survivors
from the wrecked Stefansson exploring
ship Karluk.
The general belief here and among
the natives at Icy cape is that the man
was member Of the Stefansson party
Of three who started north over the ice
from Martin point, west Of the Macken-
zie river on. April Z, 1914. With Stef-
ansson at that time were Ole Ander-
son and Storker Storkerson.

Jitney Bus Business Hit.
Jitneys in Iowa are hit hard by the
passage of the F'ra;ley bill in the SEN
ate. 1t gives city councils in Iowa
cities and towns The power to regulate
and license jitneys. Des Ncines Is es-
pecially affected because OF the large
number Of jitneys now in operation.
Under provisions of the law, the coun-
ell has now power to regulate con-
gested traffic in downtown streets
which has caused trouble. The Fraiiey
bill gives councils the following regu-
iatory powers:
Regulate, license and taxing Of jit-
ney buses and motor cabs operated
on the streets.
To fix and determine streets and
avenues upon which they operate.
To operate upon responsible route
and upon responsible schedule and re-
quiring all owners to file an indemnity

BETHLEHEM STEEL SCARS.
Gains 1874 Points in Early Transae
actions on New York Exchange.

4CSo0n3 on NeW SOVN 6HCuAU0os
New York, April 13-Another sensa-
tional rise Of Bethlehem steel. at a
gain Of 1874 points over yesterday s
close attracted great attention on the
local market today. Wall street still
believes this movement. without par
allel on the exchange, is primarily due
to the interest Of small interests to-
gether with the small amount OF stock
available for speculative purposes.
& Bethlehem steel rose to 142 before
noon and then dropped back four points
from its high price. The entire mar
ket moved forward largely as a result
OF peace rumors from Washington. The
phenominal movement in Bethlehem
steel was said to be the precursor OF
an important announcement to stock
holders Of the company. This, 1t was
said, would involve an increase Of the
company's stock with valuable sub
scription rights.
During the mid-sess.on Bethlehem
steel ascended to 1i9A from which It
reacted moderately. Sales of Bethle-
hem steel up to o'clock barely ex.
ceeded 10000 shares.

BOmbardment of Carranza
Trenches by Villa Forces
Begun Early Today.
GUNNERS SLOW
IN GETTING RANGE
School in West Brownsville Dismissed
Because Of Heavy Rifle Firing in the
Woods Across the River-1ut One
Cannon in Action During Early
Hours-Says Conditions Worse Than
During French Revolution.

Brownsville. Tex, April 13-The
bombardment Of the Matamoras
trenches by the villa army besieging
Matamoras began today. The first few
shells exploded in the air above the
city. Only one cannon appeared to be
in action.
! The Villa gunners got the range af-
ter a few minutes and dropped two
shots. within a few yards OF the trenches
west Of Matamoras. They kicked up
some dirt but otherwise did no appar-
ent damage Four shells burst over
Matamoras, one of them above the
French theater, near the American
consulate.
Brownsville School Dismissed.
Children were dismissed from school
in West Brownsville today because OF
heavy rifle firing In the woods on the
Mexican side Of the river.
The excitement started when the
Mexican end of the international
bridge here was closed and consid-
cradle force of Carranza cavalry and
infantry made q sortie. These forces
crossed the clear places in front Of the
trenches without being molested.
After the Carranza column entered
the works the Villa forces commenced
firing.
Brownsville Not Endangered.
The direction of the fire and the good
markmanships brought distinct relief
for the safety of Brownsville. One
ttree-inch field piece opened the firing
and later another Joined In. The can
non were hidden in the bushes mile
and half west OF Matamoras. The
first few shells went high. some pass
ing over the city completely.
The direction Of the fire was such
that no matter how far the cannon
over shot, the shells would not carry
into Brownsville. After few minutes
the Villa .artillerymen got the range
dropping several SMELLS near the
!! trenches, The cause of the cannonadins
was sortie by about 1900 Carranza
cavalrymen and infantrynen, who
; started toward Las Rncias. the head
quarters Of Gen. Jose Rodriguez, COM
mander Of the Villa forces, four miles
distant
sortie to Capture Guns.
The Mexican end of the international
bridge was closed and a tight censor
ship put on Matamoras The sortie
evidently was aimed at capturing some
of the Villa cannon in the woods.
A rifle battle in the woods continued
hot until an hour after the sortie, then
the Carranza forces retreated.
Col A. c. Blocksom, commanding
the post here stationed himself on the
international bridge during the can
| nonading.
Before noon the Carranza troops had
returned to their trenches and Villa
cavalry had followed them to near the
| defenses. The artillery fire had
stopped except for an occasional shot

German attempt to recapture the posi-

permitted General Joffre to give an
