MEXICO SEARCHES
OUT MORE PRIESTS
Action Follows Deportation
of 8 and Execution of |
in Alleged Plots.
nv the Associated Press.

Nv the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY, April 25.-Having
aeported eight archbishops and bishops
and executed priest on the charge,
the government was engaged today in
seeking out other priests alleged to
be implicated in a revolutionary move
ment.
Despite vehement denials by the
Mexican Catholic authorities of all con-
nection with the rebellion, the gov
ernment places responsibility for the
outbreaks on the Catholic Episcopate,
priests and some laymen.
Two Sent to United States.
Archbishop Pedro Vera Zuria of
Puebla and Bishop Jose Manrique Ia
rate OF Huejutla were put aboard
train bound for Laredo Friday night,
shortly after six prelates, including
Archbishop Mora Del Rio, had left the
country.
Zarate has figured prominently In
the controversy, which began with the
PRONUNCIATION of the religious laws last
Summer. After the withdrawal of the
priests from the churches as protest
against the laws, he was arrested,
charged with engaging in subversive
and rebellious activities, but was re-
leased after a period in jail.
Dispatches from Monterrey, in the
State Cf Nuevo Leon, say the authori-
ties have ordered the deportation of
Archbishop Juan Jose Herrera Pima
of Monterrey. His whereabouts is not
known and the police are endeavoring
20 locate him.
Reported i'm Conflict.
An official account of the execution
of the priest at Rio Del Cuale, in the
State of Jalisco, says he was captured
with others in an engagement against
government troops. He was killed,
according to the government, because
he was involved with another priest
IN the organization Of a rebellious
movement.
In well informed quarters 1t is be-
lived that only five Catholic prelates
now remain in the country, among
them Archbishop Orozco Y. Jiminez
Of Guadalajara, who is said to be in
hiding IN Jalisco.
