CHURCH ANNEXES
 WILL BE CLOSED
All ValuableS Likewise Put
 Under Seal

Mexico City. Aug. g P)-Au Cath ,lic church "annexes" and all church valuables, except actual places of worship, have been placed under government seal throughout Mexico until the present controversy be- tween the Mexican government and the Roman Catholic episcopate is settled, 1t was announced today by the department of the interior.
 The Mexican government began taking over these places, where church possessions are stored, as soon as the governments new regu- lations went into effect at midnight July S1, and the Catholic priests ceased to perform their offices in protest.
 The men and women, arrested several days ago on a charge of plotting against the life of President Gales because of his unyielding at titude in the religious controversy, were discharged today. Police off cials announced that no evidence justifying their being held for trial had been found.
 The Catholic episcopate issued statement avoWing it's respect for the Mexican laws and the constitu- tion, except as they violate the posi- tive rights of the church. The state ment also expressed the hope that a suggested congressional enactment of new religious regulations be done in a liberal spirit without offering another obstacle to a settlement.
 It was stated today that the Mext- can City district court will revive a case, pending since 1920. seeking to have declared national property two native Methodist churches in Mexi- co City. It was not thought that the court action will affect the gen. eral situation, since the government has claimed ownership for more than 60 years of all church prop erty, which it maintains the govern ment merely lends to the congrega- tions.
 Mexico City's second Sunday un- der the new religious regulations passed quietly, the citys life pro- ceeding about as usual.

LODGE PREDICTS
 NEW DISCOVERIES
Believes World Will Know More
 About SpiritualiSm

Oxford, England. Aug. 9 Pl-A prophecy that within the present generation science will make reVolu- tionary discoveries in the realm of the spiritual was made by Sir Oliver Lodge last night in an address be- fore the British association. Sir Oliver pointed out that other meet ings of the association had been followed by startling new discover ies in science. The British associa- tion is an organization made up o1 scientists. Sir Oliver Lodge was it's president in 1913-14.
 If I had to make a guess" said Sir Oliver in his address, T would saq that whereas through the nineteenth century and up to the present, we have been dealing chiefly with a material world, there lies before us discovery of a spiritual world.
 Before this association n.eets again in Oxfore our views of the universe will be revolutionized once more, and this time beyond all the previous score. xXXx we shall rise to become beings of higher order. and once we have stepped over' these limits the grave, the gate Of death there is no end to the ascent
 The British association last met at Oxford in 1894, when Sir Oliver Lodge gave the first demonstration of wireless signalling by means Of electro-magnetic waves.

senger was sent out with words of his position on the debt funding question.
 Position Is Unchanged.
 It was shown that his position was unchanged from that revealed in his behalf from time to time in recent weeks, especially since the vacation trip of Secretary Mellon of the treas ury department aroused speculation in European circles as to whether he might hold debt funding conver- sation abroad.
 Mir. Mellon is to conduct no such negotiations, it was said, if for no other reason than that his author ity has largely lapsed under the law in that field as the American debt commission in concluding agree ments has completed its work and further negotiations are barred.
 All funding agreements except that with France have been ratified by the respective parliaments of the countries concerned, and only two or three minor agreements remain to be negotiated.

LIBERAL ATTITUDE,
 CATHOLICS HOPE
EpiSCOpate in Mexico Looks to
 New Congress for Relief

Mexico City, Aug. g Pl-The Catholic episcopate today gave a statement to the Associated Press in reply to one issued in San Francisco by Aaron Saens, Mexican minister Of fereign affairs.
 Senor Saens declared there was no persecution being carried out by the Mexican government, but that the attitude of a "subversive char acter" that the different religious elements had been assuming in Mex leo had compelled the government to enforce the provisions Of the Mex ican law dealing with religious af- fairs.
 The statement of the episcopate says it respects the Mexican consti- tuition and laws which do not op- pose the dictates of reason and the positive rights of the church. It ex- presses the hope that the proposed congressional enactment of religious regulations will not constitute new obstacle to a speedy solution of con- fiict. It adds that the movement may be worthy of being taken into account if the congress adopts a lib- eral attitude toward the church.
 Several times we have announc- ed. and at present we are glad to declare to the American people" says the statement, that as duty of conscience We respect, and teach our people to respect, all fundamen- tai laws of the country and all laws which are not opposed to the die tates of reason and the positive rights of the church. But regarding those secondary principles. contrary to that libety of thought which the Mexican constitution itself pro- claims, it is impossible for us to &C., cept them without amendment.
 ITO do otherwise would be trea- son to ourselves and would place the Mexican constitution in ridiculous position"

Possibility of Fraud
 In Magazine Sales

Men representing themselves as college students desirous Of con- tinuing their studies through public support, should not be patronized If they are selling magazines and simi- lar publications not announced in church, Rev. Walter A. McCrann said at St. Mary's church yesterday morning.
 Many. reports are received by priests, he said, that magazines and newspapers which were paid for by people who believed the stories told them by solicitors, never were de- livered The people of the parish are not obliged to subscribe to the publications which are sanctioned from the pulpit. Father McCrann said. but when announcement is made on Sunday that canvassers will be in the parish during the week the parishioners are safe in subscrib- ing if they wish to do so, he said. Otherwise. they should not allow their generosity to overcome their good judgment, regardless of the plea of the canvassers, because there is always the possibility Of de ception.

they were glad to return to the prison. Each ate with relish the l prison fare that on Saturday may well have prompted them to leave. Each also eagerly accepted the warmth and comfort of dry pri- son suit.
 Warden Henry K. w. Scott said this morning that he had not de- cided what sort of punishment would be given the fugitives. Their cases, he remarked, would require considerable thought. since both had previously stood in the good graces of the prison officials, and their break Saturday had apparent ly been impulsive, rather that the continuation of a carefully laid plan.
 Warden Scott said he thought Knowles had been persuaded to go by Danserau, who. he said, was the much stronger mined of the two. But he continued, the fact that no provisions had been made for food or a change of clothing indicated that neither had given the coup much thought before Saturday ing.
 According to the Warden's de- scription of the break the men were gathering vegetables in the lower end of the farm when they slipped away unnoticed for few minutes. He said they chose the best possible hiding place when they made for the swamp land along the river There, he said they could hide almost indefinetly, while se- veral roads going in different di- rections made escape to more dis tant places easy. The guards, fol- lowing out a, "hunch." went imme- diately to the marsh land, but War den Scott said that as Saturday wore on. he had almost come to the conclusion that the fugitives had doubled back" and gotten a lift out of town on a truck.
 Three or four other guards were with Officer Cullina when he cor nered Knowles in the corn patch here. Both he and Danserau had been in search for ripe corn to eat He then submitted without pretense of a struggle.

At Sutter avenue house. four of the men jumped out while the fifth remained with Silver man in the drivers eat, pointing pistol at his head. The quartet then proceeded to hold up twenty men engaged in dice game, beat two of the players and escaped with S5.000.
 Silverman was ordered to drive away as fast as he could. The thieves evidently thought Silverman was trying to wreck his car. he said, and one of the men shot him twice, one shot entering his chest and the other shattering his arm. All five men then ran away and Silverman dragged himself to the police station.

KITCHENER STORY FORMALLY DENIED
British Admiralty Brands Re
 port Of Finding Body as False

London. Aug. tF9 - Official de- nial of the reported finding of Lord Kitchener's body on the shores of Scandinavia and its burial there is given in a report on the loss of the cruiser Hampshire off the Ork- neys in 1916, issued today as a white paper.
 The paper goes lengthily into the details of the sinking of the Hamp- shire, and. as has been officially done many times before, denies that she was lost through treach- cry. It has been conclusively proved, the paper says, that the vessel went down after striking one or more German mines.
 The stories that Lord Kitchner got away from the ship and that he reached shore are purely imag- mary" it continues.
 Regarding the rumor that Kitch- ener's body was found on the Scan dinavian shore, it says: ''None of the Hampshires dead has ever been identified and buried on those shores, and there are good reasons for regarding it as most improbable that the sea would have carried them there"
 The report that the body of Lord Kitchener, famous British war minister and field marshal, has been found was published in the Referee. a London paper, Satur- day. It was widely printed in the United States. Frank Power report ed to the paper that. on a recent trip to Norway. he found what was believed 10 be Kitchener's body in a cemetery near Stavanger, that he had it exhumed and arranged to return 1t to England.
 Ever since the sinking Of the Hampshire there have been per sstent occurrences of the rumor that Kitchener escaped and was living. unknown. in some foreign country There have also been ru- mors. all denied by the British ad- mralty, that the vessel was sunk by German spies.
 Speaking in the house Of com mons last December, the first lord of the admiralty. W. C. Bridgeman, said:
 "The admiralty has no doubt whatever that H. M. s. Hampshire struck a German mine laid by the U-75. mine-Iaying submarine which had been sent out 10 watch the Orkneys and lay mines fin preparation for the Germans naval sortie which resulted In the battle of Jutland."
 The Hampshire, he declared, had gone down in from ten to 20 min utes after striking the mine.
