Mexican Business
Men Gloomy Over
Religious Situation

Mexico City. Aug. 25-(P)-The
business men of Mexico. with undis-
gulsed gloom, are settling down
with whatever philosophy and resig-
nation they can muster to what
seems to be an indefinite continuance
of the stalemate in the religious
situation. There is still hope that
somehow q solution may be found,
but so far as tangible facts are con-
cerned nothing has occurred of late
to substantiate that hope. If any
thing. the government and episco-
pate both seem to be adopting a
somewhat sitter attitude.
The foreign minister. Senior Saenz,
conferred today with President Call
les and it is understood that he re-
peated to the president his denial of
remarks attributed to him in an IL
legged interview at San Antonio. He
assured the president that his posi-
ton was for the enforcement of the
constitution and laws.
The foreign minister had been
quoted as saying that when laws or
constitutional provisions were again
st the best interests of the country
they should be either repealed or
amended.
His quoted remarks assumed ad-
ded importance from the govern
I1ent viewpoint because the episco-
pate yesterday issued a statement
expressing satisfaction over the at
titude attributed to Senior Saenz at
San Antonio. Today the foreign
minister who has just returned to
the capital. declared that his words
had been misinterpreted.

Unable to Learn
Identity Bomber
In Pittsburgh Blast

Pittsburgh, Aug. 25.-(P)-The name
OF the perpetrator of the fatal bomb
explosion in the Farmers Deposit Saw
ings Bank remained mystery tonight
after two possible identifications had
proven erroneous.
The most important development of
the day was the location of the note
in which the bomber yesterday after
noon made his demand for $4,000 and
the threat to blow up the bank If he
did not get it. The note revealed that
the man carried 80 sticks of dynamite
in r. little satchel.
1T will discharge" it was written,
when the handle is out of my hand.
If you or anyone else fires a gun at
me there will be no cage left, we all
be blowing up pieces"
The note was handed to a teller
and the explosion occurred when the
man dropped the satchel as a police
man approached.
The bomber's fingerprints were
taken and police will compare them
with available records. Remnants of
the bomb were sent to the local station
of the United States bureau of mines
in an effort to locate clue which
might lead to the place where 1t was
manufactured.
Seven of the more than a score who
were injured remained at hospitals,
four in serious condition, while Mrs.
George Ortmann. wife of the police

was reported seriously i'll as a result
of shock.
The bank transacted business as
usual, while hundreds crowded the in
stitution for view of the damage
wrought by the bomb. Crews of work.
men were busy repairing the damage.

The Republicans will elect in Novem-

today by Representative Wood. Re-

Republican congressional campaign
committee.
The present working majority is

White Pine Camp from Washington
to report on political conditions, de-
clared it only could be expected that
some seats might be lost in an off
year after the heavy sweep of the
presidential election which carried
many Republicans into office from
normally Democratic or doubtful
districts.
For the most part, however he adj
ded, the Republicans will not lost
many seats in either the west or the
east. The report was said to have
been along the lines of other irifor-

There are 80 doubtful Republican

lose four house seats in Pennsylvan-

both New Jersey and Ohio.

primary campaign there were not
decisive factors in creating this stu

Spanish Monarch
And Premier at Odds
Over Embassy at Paris

Paris, Aug. 25-(P9-Signs of fric-
ton between King Alfonso of Spain
and Premier Primo De Rivera are
seen in diplomatic circles here in the
apparently authentic reports Of an
approaching change in the Spanish
embassy at Paris.
Count QuinoneS de Leon, who has
been here so long that he seems like
n fixture, has had some difficulty In
satisfying Madrid since General
Primo De Rivera assumed control.
His close relations with the king
have thus far prevented any action
in his case. but since Primo de Ri
vera's visit to Paris there have been
rumors that the head of the govern
ment is determined that man of his
own choice shall be in charge of the
embassy at Paris.
King Alfonso was especially gra-
cious to De Leon while in Paris,
while Primo de Rivera displayed IL
ritation at the att tons shown the
ambassador The supposition in dip
locate circles is that the Spanish
premier has finally been able to
bring arguments to bear that r,n~a
than counterbalanced Alfonso's well
known liking for the ambassador.

outward evidence of injury, but that
his condition was extremely critical.
Both he and his brother were mar
riei and moved recently to Spring
field from Albany. n. Y.
A truck driver who discovered the
accident and brought about removal
of the wrecked machine from the

turn into the narrow bridge until too
late and the car, travelling at high
speed, ripped away part of the fence
