Mexico City, April 1.--victor Lazcano and Heriberto Salgado met death before a firing squad early this morning 10 hours after their arrest for alleged com plicity in a plot against the lives of prominent persons in Mexico City and the city of Puebla, according to an ex- tra edition published this afternoon by Fl Nacional Salgado is said to have been arrested yesterday afternoon in the Mexico City post office while mailing a package containing "a high explosive bomb addressed to the chief of the fed era' military operations in the state Of Puebla. Evidence given by him caused the immediate apprehension of Lazcano and the calling of courtmartia which after Almost an all night consideration sentenced both men to death.
 Lazcano, according to El Nacionai, at one time was brigadier general under the bandit Zapata, but recently had been identified with revolutionary activities ascribed to Felix Diaz letters from wEom were said to have been found on his person.

blind, so we are not reaching as many as we would like" said Mrs. Engstfeld We plan to have a visiting teacher to give adults instruction in the raised type and urge children to avail themselves of the state school in Talladega. The state school could be very materially improved by a larger appropriation, so that our school could rank among the best in the south.
 The response to our appeal has been splendid. People have been glad to help notwithstanding the fact that repeated calls have been made upon them for charities, etc. Those whom I have tele- phoned to suggest that they donate a book (valued at $15) have done so with out exception. one man saying that 1 had not asked him for enough; he want ed to make a real donation. What we need most is publicity.
 Ministers and organizations are urged to report the names and addresses or any blind whom they may know Pos sihly the reason I was asked to take the charmanship of this work was be cause of my association with Miss Lucille Goldthwaite of Montgomery, who has charge of the work with the blind in
 the New York public library. When I was taking my course in the Library school of tho New York public library I was associated with her, and on my re-
 turn during my vacations have been able to influence Miss Goldthwate to grant our blind readers many conces- sions in indefinite loans of books, and also t. give us catalog in the raised type.

ID SIDE AGAINST S|NN FEN
 REPORT IN DUBLIN
nevaIera Quoted as Declaring for Holy See to Condemn Us Unheard Would Be
 UnthinkabIe"
Bx Associafeh Press

Dublin. April 1.-The statement of E mmon Devslera to the Irish news oers that all seats in the coming sections in the south of Ireland would be contested by Sim Feiners and in the north by a commission of Sim Feiners and nationalitsts confirms previous expectations.
 A novel point in the situation printed today by the Independence and not printed yet in> the Freemans Journal which published the reply of DeValera to questionnaire concerning peace l. Ireland, is detailed discussion of a possible pronouncement by the vatican against the sim Fein. It, is declared here that it was a persistent rumor that the vatican would side against the Sim Fein which led to the inscrip- ton on banner in the St. Patricks Day parade in New York city saying, "As much religion as you like from Rome, but no politics."
 In the Independent, which is the na- tionalists organ, DeValera is quoted today as saying:
 If England could only use our church or our religion to compel us pr lnQuce us 10 remaln meek slaves, she would not want another army of occupation. Personally, despite all England can do, and all her political intrigues and all her bargains and manuvering in Roman circles, l have not the slightest fear that she can se- cure a condemnation which every honest man must regard both as un- fair and unjust.
 To condemn us unheard would be to condemn every struggle for liberty. TO condemn us on ex-parte statements f interested British imperialists would be unthinkable for anyone with moral or judicial mind, let alone for alone for the holy see.
 "Of course l know that the holy see Is one thing and that the attached Roman political state departments, in which England is so well represented, are another. But the Irish people in general know that today, and I think that they never will be likely to mis- take the voice of England for the voice of God, no matter where it is echoed'

Governor Campbell replied to the em- bassy that it was the boards prerog- ative to act on such matters, under provision of Arizona law.
 The governor held that If any action such as the embassy asked were to be taken, 1t should be taken by the board of pardons and paroles and that he should not interfere. Following the embassys telegraphic appeal, received Tuesday Governor Campbell yesterday received others of the same nature from various Mexican consuls.
 The requests that Dominguez's life
 be spared appeared to be based, it was
 said at the governors office. on the mere fact that he was a Mexican cth- zen.
