Y, recently residing in Oakland, Me-.

before Recorder J. A. Letourneau of
the Municipal court on two indict-
ments, one of which charged him

CATHOLICS CLING
Continued from Page one)

olics began to gather in the parks
to pray in the open. This is for
hidden by the constitution, but, the
Episcopate says, "the authorities, in
respect for liberty of conscience, in
stead of stopping the open air gath
erings, have been affording all kinds
of protection"
The depression caused by the eco
nomic boycott appears to be increas-
ing. Some continue to cling to what
seems a forlorn hope that congress,
which convenes September 1, may
enact milder religious regulations.
But congress is impotent unless Pres
ident Gales approves it's acts.
Congress is expected to do as the
president desires; hence unless Senior
Gales himself yields in his religious
stand, or loses political power, neith-
er of which is indicated at present,
congressional relief can hardly be
looked for.
Since the clash yesterday at the
suburb of San Angel between Cath
olics assembled at the church of
San Pacinto, and the police, in which
several persons were slightly injured,
there have been no incidents around
Mexico City.
Belated dispatches from Saltillo
say that on Thursday Catholic wom-
en- assembled in front Of the cathe-
dral jeered a passing parade Of
workmen and others supporting the
Gales policy. Sharp words were
exchanged and the paraders rushed
into the church, driving the women
before them. Soldiers finally arrived
and restored order.
