Killed a Policeman.

Deshon, apparently the leader of the
gang, admitted killing the policeman
and showed the authorities heaps Of
buried money and yaluables the boys
had boarded.
Wanted Easy Money.
The lads admitted that they de-
sired easy money and wished to show
their girl friends good time with
their booty and in stolen automobiles.
Scores of holdups and house burgla-
ries are credited to them.
All the boys are from families too
poor to hire attorneys to defend
them. SO the city has appointed a
special attorney to represent them
when they are tried. The lads take
their predicament lightly and boast
that they will be able to escape exc
cution. They say they had luck in
their robberies and are sure it will
hold now.

Green's Statement Takes
Stand for Religious
Freedom.

Whlle the American Federation Of
Labor greatly deplores the present
situation in Mexico, it has in no way
1nterfered with the attitude of the
Mexican Federation regarding the
religious controversy, President Will
nam Green announced last night in
an official statement
I'VE regard the domestic and inter
nal policies of another nation as part
of their own problems" the statement
said. Whatever wrong may exist
and whatever injustice may be
practiced can only be remedied by the
people who make up the nation.
In claiming the right to deal with
our own domestic and administrative
problems without interference from
outside sources. we must concede the
exercise Of the same right to other
nations.
Insists on Religious Freedom.
But in considering the exercise of
this right, it seems quite pertinent to
re1terate the attitude of the American
Federation Of Labor toward the prin.
ciple Of religious freedom. This Is q
fundamental principle with the Amerj-
can Federation of Labor. We have
steadfastly fought for liberty of con-
science, for non-interference in the
iCASiouS UeiIeIS Oh the membership
Of organized labor.
IF the Mexican Federation of Labor
decided to give it's support to the
Mexican government in the enforce.
ment Of the Mexican constitution af-
fecting religious matters, the Amer
lean Federation of Labor has no
power or authority to interfere with
such decision.
Has Given No Approval.
I'VE have not given approval or
support to the Mexican Federation of
Labor in any policy which it may
have adopted or in any decision which
it may have made to support the
government in the present situation.

Prelate Faces Charge.

Minister Tejeda has issued state
ment declaring that an interview al
legged to have been given to an
American newspaper by the Most
Reverend Mora Del Rio, Archbishop
of Mexico, violates the clause in the
Mexican constitution prohibiting
clergymen from criticizing the funda-
mental laws of Mexico or the Mex
lean government.
Therefore, says the statement, the
interview has been cited to the at
torney general for investigation. )"
This is said to mean that if the at
torney general finds the charges of
Senior Tejeda justified the govern
ment may order the arrest and trial
of the archbishop.
Mayor Arturo Saracho of Mexico
City, in the first concession of any
kind made to Catholics since the reli-
gious conflict began, has decreed that

be composed of five Catholics and
five municipality appointed citizens
for each church. Hitherto the COM

MEXICO CITY, August IA re-
port of excesses and Of executions
growing out of the. religious situa'
ton has been made to the arch
bishopric here by Archbishop Leopoldo
Ruiz Flores Of the state Of
Michoacan. The ministry of the in
terror announces that 1t has no knowl-
edge of such happenings as the arch
bishop has reported.
The information brought to Mexico
City by Archbishop Ruiz is that 2
Catholic priests and between u and
81 Catholic citizens were executed
after an all-day battle between troops
and Catholics in the town of Zahuayo,
state of Michoacan. The bishop esti-
mated that altogether so persons were
killed in the battle.
Describes Other Killings.
The prelate also said that at Acam-
baro, state of Guanajuto, disorders
arising from the religious controversy
led to other executions. When the
people Of Acambaro refused to turn
over their churches to the municipal
authorities two government engineers
were killed by the crowd and their
bodies hacked almost to pieces, not
withstanding the fact that the priests
appealed to the crowd to desist. Fed
eral troops arrived and executed three
and possibly more Of the leaders, the
prelate added.
At Iraputo, also in the State Of
Guanajuato. according to the arch
bishop, Protestant was killed, when
she tainted the Catholics aS their
services ended. The residences Of sew
eral Protestants were set on fire by
the mob. Federal troops also were
brought up here and executed three
or four Of the leaders of the mob.
These disturbances are reported by
