makes the prediction that the al
fairs of the nation will be con-

that the son Of the former presi-
dent attracted admiration on &C

REDS Of RUSSIA
AIM TO DESTROY
CHURCH BELIEFS

LONDON, May 13. According
to advices received in this city
from Russia, the Bolsheviki are now
engaged in an organized attempt 10
destroy the religion Of the country
by holding it and those who preach
il up to contempt AS an example
Of the tactics employed 70 destroy
the church, the reports state that a
mock marriage was recently per
formed between an aged priest and
a mare ~...".
Under penalty of death, the priest
in charge OF the church was forced
TO perform the marriage ceremony,
and the choir, dressed in their sur
plices, were made TO chant the
psalms and canticles in accordance
with the ritual and rites of the
orthodox church.
10 1urtner weaken the faith OF
the people in the many supposed
virtues of the priesthood. which
were fostered and encouraged by
the church from time immemorial,
the Moscow Soviet published a
pamphlet depicting wildly the sup
posed orgies of the priests and their
immoral excuses.
A belief long cherished by the
masses of the people in certain
shrines, supposed TO contain the
bones of two saints. and which they
had hitherto approached with awe,
was shattered when the Bolsheyiki
openly destroyed the shrines, ex-
humed the bones and scattered them
to the four winds.
The priests had taught the people
that death would be the portion of
anyone who would dare 10 approach
the shrines except in a penitent
mood and with a suitable offering.

TO DECIDE VALIDITY OF
 FIVE EMERGENCY BILLS

TUCSON, April 25.-Judge Pattee of Tucson will decide the Ben Clark salary suit brought to test the five emergency measures which the gov, ernor failed to sign and which Attor- ney Jones says are not laws This was made known following the serv- ing of an alternatiev writ of injunc- tion against Jesse L. Boyce, state au- ditor, citing him to appear on May 2, before Judge Pattee to show cause why he should not pay the claim of Ben Clark, deputy land commissioner
 Judge Pattee has been called upon to sit in this case for the reason that in all probability another case in volving the legality of the land grab bill will be tried at the same time, with the further probability that the case would naturally originate in the Pima county courts by virtue of the fact that land which it is sought to acquire under the new law is located in that county.
 The names of the plaintiffs have not been divulged.
 With the hearing of the Clark case set for May 2, there is hope of secur- ing an early decision in the matter from the supreme court.
