Casualties On Each Side.

London, Sept. 10 P)-Mutinous re- publican guards and troops of the Greek army came into contact yes- terday in a battle in which there was sanguinary fighting with numer- ous casualties on both sides.
 The fighting is said to have lasted several hours and to have ended when the two corps of republican guards. realizing the uselessness Of their attempt to capture the city, struck the white flag in token of de- feat. The officers of the mutineers and their men, numbering about 1000, are said to have surrendered.
 The trouble had it's origin in the refusal of the republican guards, supporting General Pangalos, who recently was busted from the dicta- torship by General Kondylis, to dis band.
 During the disorder further trouble arose when crowds of demonstrators seized an armored car and fighting ensued when SOL diers attempted to recapture it.

 The words of the principal were spoken to the students who were about to participate in school &C., tivities for the term. The impress sion is widespread that the boys who take part in athletics are often lowest in studies but Coach Cassidy declares that athletics has acted as means of keeping boys up in their studies since they would not be able to play if they were below a required mark.
 Of late years the extra -curricu- lar activities have been cut to a minimum. Formerly the school used to have regular weekly Fri day afternoon dance. About three years ago, the administration cut the dances down to one month.

Special Prosecutor Simpson.
The state senator announced he had
questioned new witness, woman,
who told him she had witnessed the

and Mrs. Eleanor Mills and had rec
ogniZed their slayers.
II have every reason to believe this
witness is telling the entire truth, and

pect to solve the double murder and
obtain the conviction of the woman
and the man.
The new witness assures me she
knows both the woman and the man

that she would recognize them and
identify them instantly, and that she
saw them tear up the Mills love let
tiers and scatter them over the rectors
body"
According to Senator Simpson, the

(Speclal TO kennebec .JournaD
Belfast, Aug. A little too smart
was Ralph Brown, Camden lad who
was overhauled a few days ago by
State Highway Patrolman Fred Eb-
bet and asked for his license. He
said he had one at home and was
told to produce it. When he did so
it was dated Augusta. August g. He
was given hearing before Judge
Carleton Doak in the, Belfast NUM-
cipal court today and fined $40 and
costs and given also some very
fatherly advice. "As you have been
so successful in driving without a
license all summer, my boy, | will
see how you can get along for an
other ten days without one. | am
going to suspend your license for
that time but don't let me catch you
driving a car in the meantime for

Brown. it is alleged had driven all
the season without a license.
Quite different was the case of
William II. Alexander of Northport,

trouble on the Atlantic Highway and
was brought in by Patrolman Flynt.
Judge Doak taking everything into
consideration was of the opinion that
the driver was not joy riding and his
age indicated that he was not a

Church Will Never
Approve of Uprising

Mexico City, Aug. 4 - up - The
archbishopric of the Roman Catholic
Church will never approve of an
armed uprising but the church Will
''go to Calvary" if necessary in the
present religious struggle in Mexico
Monsignor Pascual Diaz. bishop of
Tabasco and secretary of the ma
tional episcopate today told The As
SOciated Press.
Mgr. Diaz said:
1.-THE church, being outside and
above any political party, can never
approve that religion be used as a
banner by any political party. Much
less will the church approve armed
uprising because it would oe detri-
mental to the people and to the
country.
ARMED uprisings are headed by
ambitious politicians who pursue
worldly gains. The church only ap-
proves peaceful, orderly action like
that undertaken by the League for

Newport, r. l., Aug. 4.-(P)- The

lolled about the air over Newport
for four hours today and made the
unofficial discovery that radio COM
pass stations appear to be accurate
from the land and air as well as at
sea. Full reports on the celebration

duct in New England during the
next few days will not be made pub
lie until they are sent to Washing
ton.
The big airship will remain an
chored to the mother ship, Patoka,
over night. UnofficialIy it was stat
ed that the tests had been entirely
satisfactory" and that the accuracy
of the compass station at Prices
Neck, on which the first tests were
made, seemed to be assured.
Lieutenant Commander Charles E.
Rosendahl. in command of the Los
Angeles, and his crew of IA officers
and 26 men, remained aboard their
ship tonight. With favorable wealth
er conditions they expect to cast off
early tomorrow for Boston, where the

return here for the night again and
will leave the following day for Bar

j. T. Trip. general manager, and
John A. Hambleton, director. of the
Colonial Air Transport Company,
which recently established an air
mail line from New York to Boston.
Their interest in the tests lay in
the increased safety of the pilots if
the compass stations are proved ac-
curate from the air. Successful tests
may mean the establishment of a
Passenger transport in the near flu
ture, it was indicated.

SCISSOR of the liquor and that the

The men are now in the death

Heinlein and Mclaughlin based

or MAIN if resisted had been proved
against them and that the trial judge

found guilty in the same degree as
Devereaux, the confessed clayer.
Devereaux asked for clemency on
the ground that his mentality had
been impaired by war wounds.
"There is no sufficient justice for
my intervention" said Governor Full
Ter tonight in a statement making
public his decision. His refusal was
based on the adverse reports of the

SEEK RECOGNITION
MEXICAN CATHOLIC
PRIESTS AS CITIZENS

Mexico City, Aug. 4.-(P) - In a
general statement TO the press to-
night the Roman Catholic episcopate
declares that a settlement of the re-
ligious situation may be accepted by
the episcopate only If it includes rec
ognition of the rights of Catholic
priests as Mexican citizens. This rec
ognltion also must include recogni-
ton of the principles laid down in
a formal letter of the episcopate de-
mandingN that the government with
draw its religious regulations.
Recognition of the priests rights
as citizens is construed in some
quarters as including a demand for
the right to vote in civil elections
which is denied in the present re-
ligious clauses of the constitution.
