rama government with financial en-
barrassment and to poison the minds
of the American people against it by
the deliberate and wholesale inyen-
tion and publication throughout the
United States of persistent and
groundless falsehoods as to the policy
of the CarranZa administration and
conditions in the Republic Of Mexico.
One favorite falsehood that has
been circulated in this country with
great diligence by the Roman Catho-
lie hierarchy is the allegation the
church and clergy in Mexico were be-
ing robbed of their possessions by the
government of that Republic. But
virtually all the real estate holdings
of the clergy in Mexico have been
totally without authority of law and
in violation of the laws of reform en-
acted more than sixty years ago.
Under the dictatorship Of Diaz the
clergy, by virtue of their influences
with his talented Roman Catholic
wife, were permitted to enter into
possession of immense properties
throughout the country in violation
of the law. The Carranza admins
tration has impartially enforced the
laws of reform, together with the
other laws of the Republic, and has
thus righteously Invested the Roman
Catholic clergy of vast landed mo-
nopolies which we're held in defiance
Of law and in total disregard of the
rights of the people.
The hierarchy has determined to
punish the Carranza administration
for this rigid enforcement of the law
by worldwide conspiracy to force
American Intervention and thus drive
the Government of the United States
into the slaughter and subjugation of
the Mexican people in order to re-
store the hierarchy to political SUI
premacy in Mexico.

DYNAMITE CITY DAM
Twenty Men, Farmers Whose Land
Was Threatened, Did It.

Oklahoma City, June 15.-Oklahoma
City has been facing two dangers
in connection with its water supply as
a result of the destruction of its wa
terworks dam across the North Cana
dian river late last night by twenty
men believed to have been farmers
whose land was threatened with mum
dation. Should the flood waters recede
before repairs can be made, a water
shortage is certain according to Com

is that the river may form a new
channel.

Crumbine Warns People Alleged to
Have Broken Smallpox Rules.

Wichita, Kan, June 13.-Citizens of
Goddard have been ordered to walk
the chalk line by S. J. Crumbine, Sec
rotary of the state board of health.
Doctor Crumbine made a trip to Wich-
ita to investigate complaints made
against the citizens of Goddard and
the farmers residing in the vicinity of
that city who were charged with
breaking quarantine laws. More than
nifty cases of smallpox have been
found by the county authorities in and
around Goddard. The epidemic has
continued to spread and recent in
vestlgations proved that the quaran-
tine. restrictions were not being ad-
hered to.
Fearing that the disease would be
carried throughout the entire state by
harvest hands, Doctor Crumbine is
sued a warning statement to the citi-
zens OF Goddard. He informed them
that If any were caught breaking
quarantine laws the entire town would
be quarantined and no one would be
allowed to enter or leave the city until
the disease had been wiped out. and
that no trains would be permitted to
stop at that point except to deliver
provisions.
