OF public buildings and grounds. To-
morrow morning the school authori-

to be added TO the park system. He
pointed out the desirability of these
tracts for park purposes and predict

also asked the subcommittee to in
crease a number of appropriations for

When the school authorities appear

find the members very sympathetic to
their appeals for increased appropri-

predicted that the items. amounting
to about half million dollars, which
were stricken out In the House on

OPEN-AIR MASS CAUSE
By the Associated Press.

by tne ASsOclaIeu ETeso.
MEXICO CITY, January 13.-Presi-
dent Obregon today intimated the pos
sible expulsion from Mexico OF Mon
signor Ernesto Filippi, apostle dele
gate, for participating in religious cere-
monies contrary to the federal laws.
The President told the correspondents
that il proper investigation proved Mon
signor Filippi had taken part in the
open-air mass and other ceremonies
held Thursday at Silao, state OF Guiana
juato, and the investigation in
dicated such participation was con-
trary to the specific law to that ef-
feet contained in the Constitution OF
1857, the apostolic delegate could be
expelled as a ''pernnicious foreigner.
under article SO of the constitution.
The question came up after the
celebration at Silac Thursday in con-
nection with the unveiling of a mon
ument of Christ. 1t was attended by
more than $4,000 Catholics from all
parts Of the republic. Photographs ap-
pearing in the newspapers showed
Mgr. Filippi celebrating mass in the
open air and as directing head of the
ceremonies.
The section of the constitution to
which Gen. Obregon referred provides
that all religious ceremonies must be
held within church edifices and pro-
hibits open air professions.
The president stated that the fed
eral attorney general had been in
structed to request complete details
from the Guanajuato authorities who,
according to Gen. Obregon, were ev-
identity weak in permitting the serv-
Ices to be held as reported"
The chief executive made it clear
that the constitution was specific in
Its prohibitions and that the '1aw
must be respected by all classes and
all religious faiths" He was emphatic
in stating that all foreigners found
guilty of transgressing the law in
this connection would be expelled and
Mexican nationals amply punished.
The president had little to say con-
cerning Mexico's refusal to partici-
pate in the pan-American congress.
In his opinion Mexico had just rea-
sons for declining the invitation, but
he was not convinced her absence
would mean the breakdown of the
congress or even jeopardtze the sue
cess of its work.

JUVENILE PLAN LED
BY JUDGE SELLERS
Local Probation Association
Prepares to Welcome
National Body.

Judge Kathryn Sellers of the Ju-
venile Court was yesterday chosen
temporary chairman of a tentative
organization of persons in the Dis
trict interested in probation work at
meeting in Juvenile Court. The
organization agreed upon yesterday
will eventually become a branch of
the National Probation Association
and will be known as the District
Probation Association. 1t is under
stood.
1t was emphasized that this organ
fzation will not function along the
lines or the Juvenile Protective As
sociation or the Big Brothers and Big
Sisters. but will carry on probation
educational work and encourage pub
lie interest along this line. Recently
many such organizations as that
formed yesterday have been estab-
iished In several large cities of the
country.
At the request Of Judge Sellers Miss
tary of the committee and Miss Sell
ers then appointed the following
women as members OF the newly
formed body:
Miss Jeanette Ezekiels. temporary
secretary; Mrs. Alfred Klein. Mrs.
=
and Miss B. Israel. members of the
Council of Jewish Women: Miss Nellie
Reid and Miss Helen Boyle, members
OF the Child Welfare Associa ton:
Mrs. M. G. Catlett, an attendance off,
GER of the public schools; Miss Rose
McHugh of the National Catholic
Service School; Mrs. Edna L. John
ston, superintendent of the house of
detention; Miss Sadie Lewis and Mrs.
Ida c. Ross. chief attendance officers
OF the public schools, and Mrs. Glenn
Plumb.
Juvenile Court Cases.
Eight thousand two hundred and
two cases were handled by the Juven-
lie Court between June 80, 1917, and
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1922,
according to a report turned over to
Judge Sellers yesterday by Chief Pro-
baton Officer Joseph W. Sanford, for
presentation to President Harding.
This report shows that 1885 cases
were handled during the fiscal year
l921-22, as against 1,649 in 1920-2l,
an Increase of 1856.
Out of the number OF cases handled
turned over to the board of children's
guardians, as against 108 for the pre-
ceding year. This is pointed out as
an indication OF the effectiveness Of
the work done by the proba tion off,
GERS, whose duty 1t is to confer with
on probation and to exert their in
fluence to see that the boys or girls
do not get into further trouble. There
were 522 cases put on probation dur
Ing the last. fiscal year. There were
also ninety-hve sent to the National
Training School for Boys and forty
two to the training school for girls.
Divorce Case Results.
It is shown that over SO per cent
of the cases handled come from homes
that have been broken up by divorce
or separation.
In addition to the cases recorded
in the report, 40S were settled by
the chief probation officer. Lack of
evidence resulted in dismissal of 1O5
cases.

Policemen would have nothing to do
with it; even postmen lost interest
when they saw the pouch's seal in

Several thousand men and women
had passed the sack when the jani-
tor Of a nearby building telephoned
to the post Office, which sent out
q truck to retrieve the lost batch of
mail.
