 Charge of Gales Aide

Mexico City, April 22 P-Cath- olic circles in Mexico continue to make denial of the government charge the ath Catholic episcopate was behind the Jalisco train out rage of Tuesday night and that Catholic priests were or tie scene. The charge prompted Archbishop Ruiz Y Flores, to break his long silence last night. when in a state ment, in behalf of the Catholic epis- copate. he declared that if Catholic priests participated in the attack. the church had no knowledge of it, and had no connection with it.
 "We hasten to deny the assertion that the band which attacked the train was organized by the Catholic episcopate," the statement said The government in it's various searches of Catholic headquarters has been unable to find proof of Catholic plans for an armed rebellion. The mission of the church is not to over throw government, but 1t will urge reform of laws which are violating the liberties God has given men,"
 Assertions by General Alvarez, chief of President Gales staff. im- plicating the church in the outrage, were characterized as calumnious by the archbishop.

NUNGESSER TAKING
 GREAT PRECAUT!ON
French Pilot Testing Plane for
 Transatlantic Iii

Paris, April 22 L4, - Captain Charles Nungesser has no intention Of spelling his chances of flying across the Atlantic from Paris to New York by doing anything preci- pitate. He :, is carrying out every possible test on his plane with de- liberation and care.
 Today he was closely watching bench tests of the engine which will be substituted for the use used in the trial flights. The engine is being run under exactly the same cond1- tions of varying speed as if on the trans Atlantic flight, It will run continuously until it has consumed four tons of gasoline, the amount which the plane will carry. Then it will be taken apart and every piece scrutinized for signs of undue wear If everything is satisfactory, the motor will be reassembled and then mounted on the plane. ...
 Nungesser's flight companion, Major Coli, carefully mapped out course on a chart. It represents a curved line, passing by Honfleur. near Havre. Cherbourg. Bray Head and Lands End. the last point of contact with land; and then goes slightly northward to 30 degrees longitude and 53 or 54 latitude. to drop towards Cape Race (and Hail. fax. reaching the United States coast in the neighborhood of Boston.
 Each change of course will be carefully checked by observations with a sextant designated by Major Coli. The plane will have a new ar rangement whereby Nungesser and Coli will be able to sit side by side. This will permit of easy communica- tion and greatly facilitate accurate navigation.

An- drews. assistant secretary of the treasury in charge of prohibition en- fcrcement, said today.
 The monopoly. he said. was being formed at his suggestion and de- clared that if the plan is perfected it should accomplish what the me- d'cinal whiskey bill might have done had it been passed by congress.
 The plan was recently preached to the warehouse owners in Washing ton. he said. A tentative plan was submitted five days ago but found unsuitable, he said. and yesterday a substitute plan was submitted for his inspection.
 While neither plan has been &C., cepted by the governme 1t, he said. progress was being made
 The plan provides for the forma- ton Of holding corporation to pur- chase all available bonded liquor and concentrate it in no more than six warehouses to be operated un- der government supervision.
 Control of distribution O. me- dicinal whiskey in about thirty warehouses throughout the country is difficult. said General Andrews, and one of the results is sale of im- pure whiskey to sick persons who are unable to obtain legitimate A- quor from their druggists.
