Women wept and a number swooned.
The majority OF the churches are

with weeping men and women.
Cathedral Closed
A great crowd, orderly and passive
watched the closing of the Great
Cathedral here.
AS twilight fell over the fertile
valley of Mexico, the ancient grey
structure in, the heart of the city,
symbol of the wealth, prestige and
spirit of the Catholic church, rose
tsilent above the crowds bustling
through the Central Plaza.
The only sign of life within the
court yard of the Cathedral came
in movements of police and soldiers
who, earlier in the day. had closed
the doors against the few struggling
remaining devotees.
Whether the closing at 4 p. m. had
been ordered by the church, was
not known. Only a small chapel
and chancellory remained open
after that hour.
Meanwhile, in other sections Of
the city ninety-six churches re-
manned open all night for prayers
and services.
Darkness and rain finally drove
homeward the small groups of men
and women, who fingered outside the
cathedral fence, while the gendarmes
and soldiers surrounded the entire
block.
