Says Bible Being Kept
From Mexicans by
The Catholic Church

springfield, Mass, May 1S.-Ac-
cusing the priests of the Roman
Catholic church in Mexico of keep
ing the Bible from the common peo-
pie. Bishop William p. Thirkield, the
Methodist bishop of Mexico, declared
in an address here today that a
"Bibleless cross" was pressing that
people into superstition and dark
ness.
"The tchurch is exalted above
above Christianity there" Bishop
Thirkield continued. There are o.
600 Catholic churches in Mexico, but
hundreds of them. in desert regions
inhabited only by ignorant poems,
are either sealed or open only once
year. Civilization has declined and
disappeared right under the shadow
of the vast church that lifts the
| cross high against the sky. Auto
cracy and not democracy hold sway"
Bishop Thirkield was addressing
the University meeting of the
American Bible Society, which was
held here in conjunction with the
Methodist quadrennial conference.
He said that the missionary with the
Bible in Mexico was coming to be
welcomed where the foreign priest
was rejected.

Little Light on
Staying of Student
And Teacher i'm Penna,

Harrisburg, Pa, May 1S-Officials
investigating the death Of Harry
Canister, Marysville high school stu
dent, and Leah Ellenburger, Holli-
daysburg teacher, found shot to
death in the mountains near here
yesterday, today sought a motive in
a conflicting maze of theories In
volving moonshiners revenge, jeal-
ousy and accident.
A coroner's inquest added little to
the meagre information brough to
light during the investigation, mere
ly bringing a verdict that the two
met death from the same bullet.
the bullet struck the boy in the
heart and grazed the girls heart,
killing both instantly, in the opinion
of physicians.
The theory of moonshiners' re-
venge gained credence among the
investigators today when their
search disclosed that the couple
while picking flowers Friday after
noon had visited a cabin, the scene
OF gun battle a year and a half ago
In which Canister figured. The
tracks of the automobile led close to
the camp. The cabin is said to have
once been used by. moonshiners.
