MEXICO PLANS
DETERMINATION
OF ALL BANDITS
(By Dispatch A. P. wire)

MEXICO CITY, Aug. IA. = The de-
partment of war has ordered all milf
tary commanders to proceed vigorously
to completely eXterminate" all bandit
groups within their jurisdiction. The
order was issued as a result of{recent
reports of distinct increase in the
operations of bandits in various parts
of the republic.
Numerous small groups of outlaws
in different sections of the country re-
Gently have been raiding or attacking
ranches and small towns. Apparently
these raids are not general or part OF
an organized movement in the nature
of an uprising against the government
nor are they considered to have any
thing to do with the present religious
controversy.
The authorities in the state of Vera
Cruz are disarming "agrarians," tern
that is often a euphemism for bandits
The state also IS disarming specia
guards employed by ranches and towns
for protection in fear that these may
possibly turn bandits at any time.

Miller explained that the train left
Rawlins at LOS a. m. and that the ban

1:14. six minutes after the train had

Miller said that the bandits undoubS'

parted from Rawlins.
The car under usual circumstances is
routed to the northwest out of Green

MEXICO DURING
THIRD SUNDAY
(By Dispatch A. r. Wire)

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 14.-With the
religious situation still deadlocked'
Mexican Catholics are preparing for
their third Sunday without priests
officiating in the churches. 1t will
be an important day in the Catholic
calendar-the feast of the assump-
tion. a.
Ordinarily the day is observed with
special ceremonial in all the Cathollc
churches of Mexico, but this will be
impossible tomorrow because of the
withdrawal of the priests by order
of the Episcopate in protest against
the new religious regulations. Con-
siderable interest exists as to wether
Catholics who have worshipped IN
the churches in comparatively small
numbers since the priests ceaseu
their ministrations, will attend IN
larger crowds, or whether, because
of the days significance, any popu-
lar demonstrations will occur.
There was a sense of relief evinced
in Catholic circles today over last

ment that it had been decided not

Major Purpose is Military

(By Dispatch A. P. wire)

| CHICAGO, Aug. 14.-A nation wide
system on commercial aviation FL
nanced by private. enterprise and spon-
sored by the government, was pictured
here today by Herbert Hoover, secre-
| tary of commerce as offering to- Amer
| lea a staunch aerial reserve, saving
the government billions of dollars for
air defense while developing business,
speeding transportation and thriving in
| its own right. The secretary outlined
exclusively to the Associated Press the
governments ambitious program for
commercial air development, made pos
sible by legislation of the last con-
gress actually put into motion with
the appointment this week of an un-
der-secretary of commerce to direct
aerial development and given impetus
with designation by President Coolidge
of the first two of q chain of national
airways.
Commercial flying, and nation-w wide
air mail, express and passenger sys-
tenn, Secretary Hoover said, lis con-
siderable help to banks, speeding col
lections and saving interest; it expe-
dites the movement of emergency ex-
press, and it enables faster travel than
the railroads give, for those who wish
1T.
"But the major purpose at the mo-
ment is for the value. of commercial
aviation as a military reserve, shift
ing the burden of development and
maintenance from private enterprise to
the government.
ho
yelopment Of commercial aviation"
Hoover said, "the federal department of
aviation must provide the same service
it provides for MISUNDERSTANDING OF
air fields, maps of air routes, emerg-
ency landing fields, and markings for
every day flying. We will endeavor,
too, to provide radio information to
pilots. we must provide rules for air.
ways, and inspection to assure safety
to planes.
mo one private company could az
ford to provide those services for a.
great national system. They will be
undertaken by the government in the
belief that we can establish CONNER
cial aviation and so every 500 spent
for such sponsorship and service will
save $1,000 to the government in other
directions.
1--WE have to maintain large army
navy and postal air forces. IT we can
establish large number of planes,
with. pilots and personnel, and If we
can establish the aerial manufacturing
industry by giving it an outlet in com
mercial aviation, we will form great
military reserve and will enable great
economy in war and naval expenditures
and by contracting for air mail dellv-
cry, we will save for the postoffice de-
partment."

wick today was added to the mystery
of the Staying foul years ago of the
Rev. Edward W. Hall and Mrs. James
Mills, for which crime the minister's
widow, her brother and a cousin are
charged with murder.
Senator Alexander Simpson, special
deputy attorney general. appointed to
prosecute the case, accompanied by In

Patrick Hayes chief investigator, ap-
peared at the recently remodeled Hall
home this afternoon with newspaper
photographers and an architect.
Mrs. Hall did not come out of the
house, but Russell e. Watson, one of
her attorneys offered the party plans
of the building. THESE were declined.
Cursory measurements were made of
the grounds of the pictures taken by
New York newspaper photographers.
Simpson said he asked the newspaper
men to do the work for him because

tomobiIe over the route. Earlier in
the afternoon Mr.. Simpson questioned
several unidentified witnesses.
Inspector Underwood announced he
had telegraphed the San Francisco po-
lice a request for sworn statements
from Henry Dickman, former New Jer-
sey trooper, and lone hand Investigator
in the original investigation. He did
not expect the dispositions before Tues
day. Dickman is serving term in the
military disciplinary barracks at Alca-
