DRASTIC STEPS.
TAKEN AFTER.
CHARGES MADE.
Gales Chief of Staff Says
EpiscOpate Inspired Out
RACES.
DENIAL Is MADE
Remaining Church Digni-
taries In Hiding From
Authorities.

MEXICO CITY, April % tR.-Six OF
the foremost members of the Catholic
. Episcopate have been ordered out OF
the country and are on their way to
Laredo. They were taken from thei1
residences last night by government
agents and placed on train bound for
the border.
The deported churchmen are Jose
Mora Del Rio, archbishop of Mexico;
Leopoldo Ruiz Y Flores, archbishop OF
Michoacan, and Bishops Salvador Ur-
anga, of Cuernavaca;, Ignazio Valdes-
pino Y Diaz, of Aguascalientes; Ger
ardo Ananya, of -Chiapas, and Jose
Maria, excheverria of Saltillo.
The governments drastic action fol-
lows upon recent charges made by
General Alvarez, chief of President
Calls staff, that the Catholic episco-
pate was the main cause of the re-
ligious unrest and had been directing
the revolution and inspiring such out
RACES as that Tuesday night against
a passenger train in the state of
Jalisco.
The government already has made
public reports received by it alleging
that three Catholic priests and one
delegate of the league for the defense
of religious liberty were the ring
leaders in the Jalisco outrage.
The expulsion of the six prelates
with Bishop Pascual Diaz, of Tabasco
expelled three months ago and Fran
cesco Orozco Y Jamenez, of Guadala-
jara, in hiding, removes all the fore
most church leaders from activity in
Mexico.
Other prelates still. in various parts
of the republic are also in hiding and
not few of the religious leaders have
from time to time made their way out
of Mexico.
Concurrently with the governments
move against the episcopate, strict
censorship was established over all
cablegrams and messages. The news
papers thus far have abstained from
publishing other than official informa-
tion Of the Guadalajara train attack
The last official act of the prelates
a few hours before the government
agents placed them aboard the Laredo
train was to issue a statement denying
that the. OdInol1c eplScOpdIe mao
fostered rebellion against the govern
ment or that priests with the know
ledge and authority of the episcopate
participated in the train attack.
No official announcement has been
made of the deportation and therefore
there is no explanation officially OF
the governments action. Numerous
persons at the station saw the prelates
go aboard the train with the govern
ment agents and everything was done
in a quiet and orderly manner.

Valley School Meet
Association Holds
Seuenth Big Session

The seventh annual field meet of
the Valley School association was held
at McNeal yesterday. More than 400
people attended the athletic contest
which featured 80 events with five
school districts represented by almost
their entire student body and a large
number of their faculty and parent
populations.
The McNeal school won the high
place for this year with total of
ITS 57-1OO points against its nearest
opponent, Erie school, which took
144 4-1O points. Whitewater won 1876
points; Frontier took 1873 1-3, and
Double Adobe made but 10 35-1O0.
The entire day went off smoothly
with the finest weather of the year.
The list of @events, occupying more
than eight hours of continuous con-
tests, was managed so that everything
was orderly and the judging was
done with exacting fairness.
Every boy and girl of the hundreds
that took part in the long list of
races, relays, jumps and throws
seemed endowed with the highest and

was no haggling over points. Each
youngster worked hard for his school.
There was a spirit of rivalry that was
keen but not bitter. The spectators
were interested in every event and
every event was worth that interest.
In an athletic meet in which so many
took part the brilliant spots are hard
to pick out, but probably the most
satisfying work to the great crowds
of spectators was that of the flyweight
high jumpers and runners. Every
school entered every athlete on their
rolls and the primary departments of
these schools have developed some
really remarkable talent.
One little boy who got the cheers of
the throng was Earl Smith, of McNeal,
who did a running high jump of three
feet "a inches He did not win any
points as his competitors had longer
legs and jumped more than an inch
after he had run at the stick three
times and could not make it, Smith
is eight years old and weighs 81
pounds He is too chunky for a high
jumper and made his last three at
tempts on his spirit
Lee Thompson, of Whitewater, a
larger boy, took five first places in
his class and went up to the class
above his own for some of his points
One of the noticeable things in the
fine display of athletic talent was
that whole families of athletes Were
produced with tiny tots taking points
in their classes and their big sisters
and brothers winning for the same
school in the higher events.
The entrants were classed on age
and weight and the matching was well
done. The training of the children OF

RECEIPTS
LYRIC THEATRE
STOLEN FRIDAY
Sneak Thief Enters Office
And Rifles Cash Drawer
After the Show

Seventy-fjve dollars and ten cents
We're stolen from the office of the
Lyric. theatre on G avenue shortly
after 10 o'clock last night, Steve
T saguris, manager of the theatre
told a Dispatch reporter.
Tsaguris counted up the receipts
fer the nights performance and put
the money in the desk in his office
he said. He then went upstairs to
tut away some of his display photo
graphs and when he returned the
money was gone. He had not been
absent from the office more than one
minute, he told the reporter.
The theatre manager absolEes those
connected with the theatre from all
Llame in the theft.
1t is his opinion that some sneak
thief was watching him from the
street and stole quickly into the
office and took the money when he
went upstairs The office desk was
locked, but the lock does not hold
weIl, Tsaguris said. He said the
desk can easily be opened with a
little pressure.
George Moran, operator of the
picture machine at the theatre, found
the desk open about six inches when
he came down with the films that
were run last night, he said. So
far as Tsaguria knows, no one mas
been lettering about the theatre,
but he believes the theft was COM
mitted by someone who was watch
ing him and more or less familiar
with his movements.
A small electric motor was stolen
from the theatre about two years
agb, Tsaguris said. The theft last
night was the first since that time,
One $40 bill, one $40 bill, four $5
lills, and miscellaneous sums in
quarters, dimes, nicllels and pennies
were in the bag containing the $75.1O,
Z saguris said. The police were noti-
fled of the theft.
