Gales Directs Bitter
Broadside Agai S t
Clergy; Business Is
Feeling Depression

MEXICO CITY. Aug. l0.--CPl--The
situation arising from the govern
ments religious regulations and
their rejection by the Catholics to-
day became more tense and more
complicated.
President Gales issued his bitter
est broadside against the Catholic
clergy in statement 10 an American
good will mission" he charged the
clergy with seeking wealth and po-
ltical power, causing revolutions and
bloodshed and using their pulpitS for
scditious speeches. while keeping the
masses Of the people ignorant.
The Catholic episcopate continued
unyielding in its refusal to accept
the governments regulations; there
was no move TO return the priests
TO the churches, and the deadlock
was apparently absolute, with no
prospects of reconciliation.
One Of the chief developments j.
a movement Of depression and ncrv-
business In business circles. The eco
nomic situation was already bad be.

into effect. and 70 this now has been

IN WASHINGTON
Former Police Chief
Arrested For Traf-
fic Violation

WASHINGTON. ID. c., Aug. 10.-tF7
Police Of the capitol were seeking
today to serve a warrant on their
former chief. Frederick A. Fenning,
whose res s.gnation as District of
Columbia commissioner was accepted
recently by President Coolidge. The
warrant, charging a traffic violation,
threatened to rekindle the fires
which ragged during the closing days
of the past session Of congress, when
Jennings impeachment was sought
in the house because of his activities
as guardian for upwards of loo in
competent service men.
Co-incident with the issuance of
the warrant, Representative Hersey,
republican. of Maine, distributed
through the mails pamphlet de-
Tending the former commissioner and
denouncing Representative Blanton,
Texas, and Rankin, Mississippi, demo-
Gratis. who were active in pressing
the charges.
Hersey, a member of the judiciary
committee which heard the charges,
declared that Blanton had sought TO
indulge in "bar room tactics" before
the committee. When the Texas rep
resentative originally made the
charges, the pamphlet declared. the
house paid no attention to them be-
cause its members know "well the
custom Of the gentleman from Texas
making statements as to what he
would show. and so forth, in the fu-
ture in certain matters" The pam
phlet quoted Biblical scenes Of
Christ before PLATE, adding that the
same procedure had been followed in
the Fenning hearing.
Fenning, director of police and
fire departments, while commission
er, was charged in the warrant with
parking violation. The summons
was issued when he failed to obey an
order to deposit collateral for his ap-
pearance for trial. He offered the
explanation that some one had moved
his car while he was absent, that he
had explained the situation to the
police and did not think it necessary
to appear personally.
Representative Hersey declared
that Policeman o. s. Staples, who
signed the warrant, had been be-
friended and aided by Representative
Blanton some years ago, when he
obtained for the officers salary in
crease from the comptroller general
over the head of the district auditor.

As Moody's supporters prepared

arose as to the Ferguson plans and

other angle Of speculation whose
solution depended tn court decisions
