 Washington Bureau of N B. Herald) Washington, D. C., Aug. 3-Par- ents and other relatives Of Connecti- cut veterans Of the World War may hereafter be accommodated in the hospitals at the rate Of S a day when visiting invalid veterans in institutions maintained by the Unit ed States Veterans Bureau.
 Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines, di- rector of the Veterans Bureau. has just issued an order allowing reIa- tives to stay in the hospital when visiting veterans, provided accom- modations are available.
 This new practice will greatly fa- cilitate the visiting of parents and other relatives, as often the hos- pitals are located where it is diff cult 10 find lodging, or where lodg- ing would be too expensive to allow poor relatives to visit patients in veterans hospitals.
 At the close of each month or at the end of any period for which lodging, laundry. and sub sistence have been furnished, re- ports must be made to the finance service of the Veterans Bureau the name of each person from whom collection for service is made

 Episcopal Church Included

What is considered here a vir- tual protest by United States Consul General Weddell has been deposited with the department of state. Ii concerns the taking over by the Mexican government Of the Episco- pal church of San Joe De Garcia last Saturday night.
 A Mexican rector acting under the jurisdiction ot Bishop Frank W. Creighton, had been in charge of the church, which has been owned by the Episcopal church since 1857. It is officially indicated. both in Mexican and American quarters, that the situation probably will be amicably adjusted without having recourse in diplomatic exchanges.
 It is asserted that the Mexican episcopal clergymen in charge of the church failed to register as re- quired by the Mexican government. and as soon as this technicality is overcome the church will be re- turned to his charge.
 Secret Terms Likely
 Close observers, Of the situation are of the opinion that if a com- reached it will not. be any such thing as an open conyenant openly arrived al, Both the government and the episcopate have stated their positions so uneqliyocally that it is

 The economic boycott called by the National League for Defense of Religious Liberty for the purpose of slowing down business ill an en- deavor to have the government rescind or ameliorate its religious regulations is having no effect so far as Mexico City is concerned. Busi- ness men, however, greatly fear that lit will manifest itself here later. People in towns, villages, however and some of the largest cities, es- pecially in the central states are wearing mourning and draping their houses in black and eating only suf- ficient good to sustain life. They are avoiding amusements and pur- chasing nothing they can do with out
 Pcacefulness Pleases Both
 Both the government officials and the Catholic leaders are pleased with the tranquility prevailing. The de- partment of the interior reports that throughout the nation, with the ex- ception Of minor untoward incidents. peace has been maintained.
 The police continue to investigate the alleged plot discovered Sunday l to kill President Gales. The officials 1 seem convinced that the affair was q fantastic one and without dan ] ger; that the alleged conspirators l were mainly women with over wrought nerves.
 The propaganda battle continues. | Many leaflets issued by both sides bearing, and speakers for the con- | federation of labor are touring the country addressing the people.
 Ignore Italian Protests
 It has become known that the Italian consul protested Saturday | night at the taking over by the citizens committee of the Church De Jesus upon the withdrawal of | the priests. The consul claimed l that an Italian subject, Prince 1 Valerie Pignateli, owned the prop erty. Prince Pignatelli is de- scendant of Cortez, the Spanish conqueror. He inherited consider able property once belonging to the "conquistador."
 The committee consulted with government officials on the protest. They were informed that under Mexican law all churches are the property of the nation. Therefore the committee disregarded the protest and took over the church. \
 Church Denies Charges

 Checking Up Property
 The transfer of Catholic churches into the hands of municipally ap- pointed citizens committee who will have charge Of them during the ab- sence of the priests. continued quietly yesterday and today. A large majority of the churches throughout the nation have al- ready been transferred, and the work is expected to be completed within few days. In cases where delay has occurred in turning over churches it has been due 10 the work Of checking up inventories of church property When this check ing up is completed the doors Of churches will be opened and wor- shippers will be free to enter and pray when they so desire.
 The cathedral in Mexico City continues closed The municipal committee refuses 10 accept the in- vcntories given it, declaring that several gold vessels are missing. The committees have reported to municipal authorities that valuable articles are missing from almost every Catholic church in Mexico City. The authorities have ordered an investigation.
 Only Few at Churches
 Since the priests departed from the churches there have been only small numbers of worshippers in the churches Of the capital. This is considered in some quarters as possibly due to reaction from the extreme emotional experiences Of recent days when enormous crowds prayed in every Catholic church.
 Some Priests Remain
 A number of the priests, although without churches, are remaining in their parishes. They are wearing civilian clothes and living in the homes of relatives or friends or in boarding houses. They are prepar- ed to officiate in q private capacity
