bishopic of Mexico. Their action is
intended as a protest against the
government religious regulations,
which they regard as striking at the
very heart of the church in Mexico.
AS the day drew to a close, the
attorney generals office announced
that department of justice agents will
seal and place under government
charge all "anneXes" of all churches.
By this is meant every church Of
flee or structure except actual places
of worship, including the archbis-
hops house and bishops offices, ves-
try offices, sacristies and places
where church treasures are stored.
This order is understood to be for
the purpose of preventing the remoV-
al of treasures or church property.
The government maintains that all
church property belongs to the gov
eminent, although it has not seized
the property and has allowed the
churches to continue in possession.
Barefoot men, women and children
trudged over the rough, sun baked
road to Guadalupe today by thous-
ands. Otter their feet were bleeding.
Numbers of gently nurtured women,
unaccust toned to the hardships OF
life, tramped under the broiling sun,
telling their beads and brushing
shoulders with sturdy Indian women,
Injured to the elements and hardships.
From every part Of Mexico came
similar stories of barefoot professions
to fayorite shrines or local churches
as a special demonstration of grief
on the last day of the priestly SER
vice for no one knows how long. The
number of priests and the capacity
of the churches were inadequate,
many thousands waiting in vain for
the priestly offices. Otter there was
sob as realization came of inability
to secure baptism, confirmation or
the marriage service.
Great crowds camped all last night
around the cathedral in Mexico City
and the Guadalupe shrine, and long
before daylight lines were formed at
the entrances. Most of those who
came through the day were disap-
pointed, and tonight, wearied and de-
jected. they dragged themselves away
reluctantly.

Business Activity
CONTINUED from Pace Onel

the volume Of trade was slightly
lower in June than a year ago, and
nearly 10 per cent lower than the
average for the first three months
of 1926.
For the first time in three years
there was no decline in consumption
of cotton by New England mills in
June, as compared with May. Fur
thermore, consumption in June this
year was larger than in the CORE
spending months of the past two
years. Sales of cotton goods at i'm
portant mill centers improved con-
siderably in July"
The report said that the same was
true of wool consumption in June.
although this industry was not as
active as the shoe industry. The
shoe industry of New England" the
review went on, is the third of the
major industries in the district to
report a larger volume of output in
June than in May for the first time
in three years and a higher rate than
for the corresponding month of
either of the past two years.
Production of paper by New
England mills has been declining
steadily since last April, following
decline in the volume of orders
which began about the first of Feb
ruary and came to an end early in
June. The building industry is very
active but the volume OF
contracts awarded in New England
during June declined more than the

large numbers of passengers.
The futility of any exact prediction
however, it was pointed out, is shown,
for example, when one considers the
forecasts made for the telegraph and
telephone in their early days
The expense of operation is yet high,
it was continued. but progress is being
made in this direction. The air mail,
it was pointed out, is now earning
close to one-half of the operating
costs, not including such overhead as
the purchase Of planes, a showing bet
ter than the post office department had
expected.
The route between New York and
Chicago was said to be receiving the
largest percentage of income compared
to operating cost of any of the air
mail routes.

will be possible to leave so soon. He
plans to spend from two days to
week at the old home.
The absence on Vacation Of men in
Washington whom he would like to
consult concerning successor to Com

president in making that appointment.
From 10 to 20 names were before him,

given that an early selection would be
made.
Senator Cameron, Republican, Arizo-
ma, will arrive at White Pine Camp
