Mexican Catholic
Episcopate in New
Plea to Government

Mexico City, Aug. 18-(P)-The
Roman Catholic Episcopate it was
revealed this evening, sent a COM
munication on Monday to President
Gales, signed by Archbishop Mora Y
Del Rio, petitioning the president to
suspend the religious regulations on
the ground they make impossible the
life of the Catholic Church in Mexico.
The government is asked to grant
freedom of conscience, thought, re-
hgion, teaching. association and the
press and the request is made that
the church be granted recognition of
the necessary personality to make
these liberties effective
The letter expressed the profound
conviction that this is the only way
to end the old religious conflict"
Archbishop Mora del Rios letter
in behalf of the episcopate to Presi-
dent Gales is the first direct COM
munication the church has addressed
to the government on the president
situation and it is believed to be the
first ever addressed by the Roman
Catholic episcopate directly to any
Mexican president.
The episcopate asks for "the liber-
ties to which we are entitled as
Christians and citizens of a cultured
nation" and hoped that these will be
given sincerely and without res
friction"

NO ONE INJURED As
BILLION CARTRIDGES
EXPLODE IN VIRGINIA

Norfolk, Va. Aug. 10 - P) - A
magazine said to contain a billion
rounds Of small arms ammunition
exploded at the army munition depot
at Pig Point. on the James river, IS
miles from Portsmouth, tonight at
ITO o'clock.
Nobody was killed or injured,
nasty check was said to have shown,
the chief damage being to the maya
zine, which was destroyed. Fire APP
paratus from Portsmouth aided the
depot garrison in fighting the
flames.
An hour after the explosion the fire
was believed to be under control, men,
bers of the families of civilian ems
ployes at the depot were rushed out
of the danger zone and the garrison
was prepared to desert the station if
the flames threatened to spread to
nearby magazines.
The explosion, like that at Lake
Denmark. n. j., few weeks ago, was
blamed on lightning, although the
blast did not occur until several hours
after an electrical storm had passed
over the depot. The theory was that
the lightning had set slow fire. The
fact that practically the entire per-
sonnet of the depot was attending the
nightly exhibition of moving pictures
and We're thus drawn away from the
danger zone was responsible for the
absence of any casualties

hiIes &c contrary to the precedent es-
tablished by previous ruling wneh ap-
piled to a state law, and that all such
"feets'' must pay the same rate a'
on the individual car.
At the same time Mr.. Benton ruied
that the law allowed a distinction IN
premium rates between localities, IL
the commissioner should decide that
an automobile used primarily IN rural
or suburban communities was sun
iected to fewer traffic risks than In the
larger cities. -,
He also found that while the law
does not prevent a merit scale OF pre-
mi,1ms based on the operators aplll-
ties and experience, reliable evidence
on which to base such a scale was
probably unprocurable by the comhils-
sioner and that any presented by
