President Gales Fires Br0adSide at Catholic Officials, Char8-
 ing SeditiouS Activity
THEY, IN TURN, REFUSE
 TO ACCEPT REGULATIONS
Conditions Now Seem to Have Reached Complete Deadlock - Business Depression Being Felt Catholic People Worshipping in Their Homes Now Rather Than Going to Vacant Churches.
Going to Vacant Churches.

Mexico City, Aug. 10 LP-The situation arising from the govern ment's religious regulations and their rejection by the Catholics to- day became tenser and more con- plicated.
 President Gales issued his bitter est broadside against the Catholic clergy in a statement to an Ameri- can Good Will Mission" He charg- ed the clergy with seeking wealth and political power. causing revolu- tions and bloodshed and using their pulpits for seditious speeches, while keeping the masses of the people ignorant.
 The Catholic Episcopate contin- ued unyielding in it's refusal to ac- cept the governments regulations; there was no move to return the priests to the churches, and the deadlock was apparently complete, with little prospects of reconcilia- ton.
 
 One of the chief developments is a movement of depression and nerv- ousness in business circles. The economic situation was already bad before the religious regulations went into effect, and to this now has been added the effects of the economic boycott fostered by the league for defense of religious liberty.
 Silver exchange has slumped, the discount ranging frsm 1-2 to per cent, the highest several years. Prices of some foodstuffs are ad- vancing and the people fear further rises. Secretary of the Treasury Pani has appointed committee of ex- perts to study the economic situa- ton and recommended remedial measures.
 Government employees have or ganized league for defense of the constitution, with the object of con- ducting an active propaganda cam paign in support of the govern ment's religious program.
 Only a few worshippers are seen in most of the Catholic churches. The Catholics say they are praying in their homes rather than go to. the churches, which are in the hands of municipally appointed committees, because they do not desire even tacitly to recognize the authority of these committees.

New Bedford, Mass. Aug. 10 R,- Mrs. Henry Wrenn Garland was granted an unconditional divorce from Charles Garland this morning at Barnstable probate court.
 The hearing was made before Judge Collen c. Campbell. Mrs. Gar land who took the stand for a few minutes. giving the date and place of her marriage. was granted the custody of the three children. The principal witness was Paul Scott, a Steleo, N. J., teacher who was a member of the Allentown colony where Charles Garland was alleged to have lived with Bettina Hovey, named as correspondent.
 Scott testified that he lived with the April Farm colonists from Sep tember in 1924 to February in 1926, but that he left because he could not get enough atmosphere" He testified to various acts of infldelity on the part of Garland who lived with Miss Hovey in a one-room shack on the farm. Their rela- tionship was an open one and un- derstood throughout the colony" he said. Scott said child was born to Miss Hovey on July f 1925, which died the following October
 Judge Campbell, although he granted internationally the uncon- tested petition, secured an agree ment from Mrs. Garland and her counsel that Charles Garland would be permitted a reasonable oppor- tunity to see their children.
 Charles Garland first came into prominence in 1920 when he refused a legacy of $500, 900. Two years later after his brothers, Hamilton and James, had taken their share of the estate, he changed his mind and with the fortune endowed the American Fund for Public Service, Inc -...--.
 For the next two years he bobbed up frequently in the news because of a back to nature movement he staged on a farm in Carver, on Cape Cod. Several investigations were conducted Into conditions there, where at one time three young wom- en were living in the same house with Garland
 His wife, who was Mary Wrenn, daughter of socially prominent family, in Dedham, Mass, left him during this period, but in 1922 they were reconciled on the borth of Q son.
 Fortune continued to shower Charles Garland with her gifts. His father left him third interest in a million rollar trust fund in 1928, and the following year his grand mother bequeathed him a relatively small bequest, which lie declined,
 The four children born to the couple were Margaret, on october 3, 1920; Peter. April 2S. 1929: Chris topher, on June 12, 1928; and Mary. on September l9, 1924.

Pa. and a letter from the errant husband himself in which he called law "a wolf in sheep's clothing" won a di- voree from Mrs. Mary Wrenn Gar Hand in Barnstable court here today.

Interesting Letter

But 1t was the indirect testimony Iof Charles Garland himself, as re- vealed in a letter he wrote his wife last May while he was being held in the Allentown jail while officials probed his relations with Miss Hov- Icy, that furnished the real interest in the short trial.
 Dated May 5. 1926, it said in part: All this has little to do with my feeling toward you personally and you must not take it as a measure of my affection. My affections would perhaps grow morU freely if all the laws of our ancestors, together with the memory of those laws, were cast into the sea with a millstone attach ed to their necks.
 Scoffs At The Law
 Tt is more important. l believe, to maintain relative indifference toward outward laws than attempt to be technically correct. The law Gin this respect) is a weapon only and has ceased to have moral sig niticance. learn more and more to the conclusion that the law as it is practiced today is a wolf in sheep's clothing. This opinion is strengthened by recent experience with two respectable gentlemen of the law xxx.
 ., Perhaps some day you will real i2e that l have cared for you not less than you expected, but more than you had hoped; that while our old life has died, perhaps through neglect, a much greater life has been born through sorrow and de- yotion-perhaps. T think lots of the kids, too, and feel ripped inside from being so much away from them. I think that they will be much better off with 4 only you and Jean to look after them. Lots of love,
 Charles Garland"

THE RAILWAY LABOR MEASURE

The railway labor bill, sponsored Dy Representative Parker in the House and Senator Watson in the Senate, is awaiting approval by the Senate, after having pass ed the House by a vote of 3S1 to 13. It pro- vides a method of adjusting railway labor disputes, primarily by the parties themselv!- es, and secondarily by meditation. Opposl- tion to the bill has been manifested by ship pers' organizations, on the ground that the bill would open the way for increased rail road rates thru collision of the railroads and their workers
 There is no merit in this contention. The Interstate Commerce Commission has full control of rates, and any attempt on the part of the carriers to concede higher wages and then compel the public to pay the cost thereof in increased rates would be fruit less unless such increases were found to be in the public interest.
 That the railroads and their employees, after years of friction, have agreed upon a method of amicable adjustment of wage dis putes, is fact creditable to all concerned. The arrangement should be legalized with out delay. The Parker Watson bills a long step in advance of the unsatisfactory law under which the railway labor board at tempted to adjust labor disputes on the rail- roads

---.-~--.--. y., MOTHERS PENSIONS.
The Senate can not with any

The Senate can not with any degree of consistency pass the mothers pension bill in the form sought by Senator Wadsworth TO do so would be to undo the legislation al- ready enacted, which on July will set up joint administration for all local charitable and correctional agencies Congress passed this bill creating the board of public welfare after considering it for two years. It was the result of several years of study by the child welfare commission. sas .
 A bill drawn by Senator Capper and in dorsed by the Senate District committee, the District commissioners and all local civic and welfare bodies is pending before the Senate It would set up fund of SlOO,O0O for the home care of dependent children, the fund to be administered by the board of pub lie welfare, which has already been author ized to deal with charitable agencies here.
 The plan proposed by Senator Wads- worth is that devised by Miss Sophie Irene Lobe. It provides for separate board to administer the mothers pension fund. The plan is unacceptable to the authorities and people of Washington and would call for needless expense. Welfare leaders who seek prestige turnout the country are insisting upon adoption of the Loeb plan as a model for the States without regard to it's suitabil- ity for the District of Columbia. The Cap per bill meets all requirements and should be approved by the Senate.

to bemoan the extreme popularity of such big league baseball stars as Johnson, Horns by, Cobb, Ruth and the rest lisa bad thing they say, to fill the minds of young boys with excessive admiration for "tmere" athletes. It distorts values, places too much emphasis on the physical side of life. Perhaps there's something in what they say. It is regretta- ble that no American boy was even yet known to select Isaac Newton or Calico as his beau ideal; regrettable, but natural Yet the intellectuals miss the point. It Is the way of boys and young men to admire the doer, the man of action. And in land that produces such evil-doers as Gerald Chap man, Martin Durl1in and the ike-shouldn't we be mighty thankful that there are a few Walter Johnsons and Roger Hornsbys to give our children heroes that are more wholesome to admire?

TWENTY BILLIONS FOR TRAVELLING

Five years ago America spent SI2,0O0,- 100000 on travel This year the cost of gad- ding by family motor car, community bus or limited train will run to S20,000,000, 900. Back in 1900 we thought travel had reached pretty high peak when the country took billion dollars worth of jaunts.
 The motor car and bus have been the great agent in increasing travel. The in vestment in automobiles and buSses exceeds that of the railroads now. The annual transportation bill on highways Is twice that of railroads. The railroads are realizing that they must not fight the bus, but use it. Accordingly most roads are co-ordinating bus service and trucks

APPROVED wITHoUPREsERyATToN

Few persons, however much intent on keeping immigration within the present sal utary limits, will cavil at the approval by the Senate committee on immigration Of the admittance outside the quota within the De riod of one year of aliens who fought in the American army in the world war, and Of their wives and minor children. This Is a patriotic concession entirely commendable, as is the further proposal for the naturahza- tion of the veterans automatically if they made application for citizenship within two years after being honorably discharged.

America is in danger of losing it's wood market in Italy. That country has been i'm porting large quantities of wood from Am erica and Australia, but for some time the kingdom has been unable to purchase wood from these countries because of the dollar exchange and the Australian prohibition on wood exports.
