PREFERS NOT ID RUN AGAIN New York Governor Feels His
 Strength Ebbing

Buffalo, N. Y, Aug. 16.-A plea for "a little personal consideration" has been made by Governor Smith to those who have urged him to run again for governor as a stepping stone to a presidential nomination.
 Another term would greatly tax his strength, he told group of prominent local democrats Saturday night at an informal dinner given Norman E. Mack. democratic na- tional committee man.
 'The work of governor is more than I feel ought to be called upon to continue" he said. I do not want to do 1t for the next two years"
 Give me a little personal con- sideratfon. There Is a scriptural saying about man gaining the whole world and losing hts own soul. What good would it do me to be nominated for the presidency and have my health shattered so that I wouldn't be able to carry on the duties of the office if elected"
 The governor added, however, that whatever the state convention decided upon T will have to do."

TREASURES FOUND
 IN BURIED TOWNS
Ranchman Happens Upon One
 of Two Located in Mexico

Mexico City, Aug. 16 Pt-Two re- ports have been received here of discoveries of ancient buried cities. The first of these, a Maya city was found near the village of Santa Elean, in the state of Chiatas by government scientific party. and the other is said to have been discov- cred on ranch. near Jutlahuaca, in the state of Guerrero.
 Enrique Juan Palacios, head of a government scientific party, has telegraphed Secretary of Education Puivmotable. ruins of a Maya city have been found containing abun- dant inscriptions, hieroglyphics and precious edifices. It was totally unknown until the present time.
 No other information was given in the message of Senor Palacios.
 Fl Universal prints the story of the second find. It says an elderly ranchman, Isuario Silva has discov- cred on his ranch caves of an enor- nous area and a beautiful aspect. He found a number Cf petrified human bodies, skulls, cooking uten- sils, pottery, knives and forks. There also were discovered Is enormous and beautiful white marble salons" at one place and 2S similar salons at another place within the cave. Each contained petrified humans and animals.
 According to Fl Universal the ranchman is of the opinion that he has discovered buried city. He is quoted as saying that he intends to build an automobile road to the spot and endeavor to attract tour ists
 Other information which Fl Uni versal says it has secured is that the JuXtlahuaca caves have been long known to the local Indians. It says they were used as hiding place by the bandit chieftain Antonio Her nandez, who was executed last year after years of raiding in the state of Guerrero. The newspaper says it is believed there possibly is much treasure in the caves concealed by Hernandez. It adds that Silva, own CT of the ranch, declares the caves contain much gold and silver left in them by prehistoric inhabitants. According to Fl Universal. al- l though anthropologists say the caves Historically are of the cave-dwelling period and therefore probably rep resent former homes of cavemen, rather than a bur'ed city. some In dians of the region cling to the be- lief that they form a city buried by God in punishment for its crimes. Other Indians believe they are only caves where their ancestors lived. Jose Aguilera. one of Mexico's foremost geologists, is doubtful that the Juxtlahuaca caves will reveal an ancient buried city. Other scientists also are doubtful that the caves represent a buried city

ENGLISH COUNTIES ARE
 SHAKEN BY QUAKES
Several Feel Shock Which Is Par ticularly Heavy In Birmingham
 And Hereford,

London, Aug. 16 R-Altogether about twenty counties in England and part of Wales, felt earth quake shocks yesterday. The towns shaken included Birmingham, Wor- cester, Northampton, Wolverhamp- ton ,Leonminster, Ludlow, Hereford. Bristol, Bath, Reading and Peter borough.
 The shocks were particularly heavy in Birmingham and Hereford. The first idea Of the people in Birm- ingham was that an explosion had occurred in the manufacturing dis trict, In some places ceilings and walls cracked and telephone and church bells rang. Many nervous persons suddenly awakened, thought that burglars in their houses were causing the noise. Many persons rushed to the streets when they heard the furniture in their homes creaking and saw pictures on the walls swinging and for hours feared to return indoors.
 No serious damage was done, so far as reports show. and there were no casualties.

CONTINUE WORSHIP
 WITHOUT PRIESTS
Mexico Reports But One Dis
 turbanCe Over Week End

Mexico City, Aug. 16 P,-The re- public of Mexico haJ entered upon it's third week with the controversy which has arisen out of the enforce ment of the governments new re- ligious regulations still at a dead lock.
 Except for a disturbance at the church of San Jacinto In the suburb of San Angel. during which the heads of number of policemen and Catholics were bruised, the third priestless Sunday passed quietly. No trouble has been reported from any other part of the country.
 Some of the hurches in the capi- tai were comfortably filled with worshippers. There was less than the normal crowd at the shrine of Guadalupe, where the saying of the rosary was conducted by women leaders. At the Episcopal Christ cathedral and Union church services with lay readers in charge were held without any interference by the gov ernment officials.
 The trouble at the church Of San Jacinto arose from the fact that the police had received a report that the Catholics of San Angel were planning an armed uprising, while at the same time the Catholics had been informed that members of the Mexican Catholics, or schismatic church, which does not recognize the Pope. were planning to seize. the church.
 When the polic1 went to the church to search for arms. the Cath olics assembled for the defense of the b.ilding. The police endeavored to disperse the crowd, and. failing, called for soldiers. who fired in the air, and then clubbed the crowd with their rifles. The Catholics in turn stoned the soldiers. .
 After the fray the police found the Catholics were not preparing for an uprising and the Catholics discov- cred that nobody was endeavoring to seize thes church. Then the casualties went to their homes to bandage their bruises.s The police arrested a half dozen Catholic lead CTS and charged them with melting the people to riot.
 Father Octaviano Rodriguez, a priest, was among those arrested.
