erend Father John Coma, recently
in charge of the Catholic church at
Calexico, who died on Tuesday night
at st. Joseph's hospital in San
Diego, were held this morning at
o 'clock from Guadalupe church, San

Father Coma was taken to San
Diego few weeks ago when it was
found that he was seriously i'll and
that he must give up his work.
When he reached the hospital it
was found that his condition was
worse than had been supposed and
his decline was rapid, acute troubles

death.

a prelate. His parishes included
New Mexico, Arizona, Southern Cal
ifornia and Texas, and he was par
ticularly well known along the bord-
er where he was held in highest es-

Coolidge Will
Choose New Atty.
Gen. Careful lily
by Unitcd Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, Mar. 29.-Presi-
dent Coolidge today is looking for
an attorney general that, through
sheer force Of public confidence,
will protect the justice department
against further criticism. He has
several prominent lawyers under
consideration but none of them has
vet been given any special prefer
ence toward final selection.
Having dismissed Daugherty under
sensational circumstances, Mr.. Cool
idge will select a man to be head
of the department who will mea-
sur up in every way to the propo-
sition, the Presidents advisers be-
lieve.
Here are some of those mention
ed:
Former Senator William S. Ken
yon of Iowa, judge of the eighth
U s. circuit court, who recently de
clined the post of secretary of navy.
1t is understood that he would ac-
cept appointment as attorney gen
eral.
Some Suggest Hughes
Secretary of State Hughes, who
has been the Presidents S principal
legal adviser during the oil lease
and Daugherty investigations into
the department of justice. 1t is con
sidered doubtful that Hughes, rank
ing member of the cabinet would ac-
cept the post. One cabinet member
today told the United Press there
would be no cabinet transfer to fill
the department of justice post.
Senator Borah of Idaho, one OF
the leaders in the senate effort to
force Daugherty out of the cabinet,
is considered possibility. Hereto
fore Borah has given the impress
sion that he would not accpet the
post but today he refused to dis
cuss the question except to say he
would not comment unless the post
is rendered to him.
James M. Beck, solicitor general
of the United States, is now act
ing attorney general.
Alexander j. Groesbeck, governor
of Michigan, is represented as being
open to the appointment.

various flush oil fields of last year

despite the fact that drilling is be.
