Private Detectives Would Be Barred
From Crossing State Lines in Berger Bill

the recent activities of William j,
Burns and his associates have again
called attention to the menace these
private detectives constitute" and
that State laws designed to improve
the standard of men employed by
detective agencies had failed.
Regulation has failed, and nothing
short of outlawing them will solve

ROME AND MEXICO
PEACE TALK SEEN
Holy See Negotiating Over
Religious Restrictions, Says
Unconfirmed Report.

ROME, December 20.-UnConfirmed
reports are in circulation here that an
indirect attempt at negotiations be-
tween the Holy See and Mexico is be-
ing made.
This is held to be the reason why in
yesterdays ALLEGATION at the secret
consistory, Pope Plus did not mention
the situation in Mexico, which arose
when the new religious laws went into
effect.
SO far there is nothing official on
either side. Thus reports can be de-
MED both at Rome and Mexico City
in case of an undesired indisCretion or
the allure of the attempt.
