HO0VERS v [ D
BY PRIEST

The campaign to drag religion
into politics took a new twist to-.
day, following the disclosure that
Secretary of Commerce Hoover,
Quaker, and his wife, Episcopalian,
were married by a Roman Catholic
priest 20 years ago.
The facts, as stated by Secretary
Hoover, are that the marriage cere-
mony was performed at Monterey,
Cal, just before he was to sail for
China to engage In mining en-
cheering, after completing his
course at Leland Stanford Uni.
versity.
The priest was the Rev. Ramon
Maria Mestres, who acted in his
civil capacity. He was the only
clergyman in Monterey at the time
and had been given a special dis
pensation by his bishop to marry
non-Catholics.
Politicians in Washington today
are specializing on the effect Of
the Hoover statement on his cam
didacy for the Republican nomina-
ton for the Presidency. Most Of
them seemed to think it would have
no effect whatever. except, perhaps,
among a. lew FANATICS ana DlgoIS'
1t was not denied, however. that
enemies of Hoover in the Republican
party might try to arouse religious
prejudice against him, particularly
in the South, where he has been
popular because of his work in
Mississippi flood relief.
When the report was brought to
Secretary Hoover's attention yester-
day, he did not recall the name of
the priest who officiated. A tele-
phone call to Mrs. Hoover, however,
brought the name.
Chancellors of Roman Catholic
dioceses in Washington and New
York today said that the marriages
of non-Catholics by priests were
entirely proper when special dis.
pensations are given by the bishop.

THUGS At BAIL
WORRY POLICE

Indignant at charges made by
members Of the Policemen's Associa.
ton at last nights meeting that their
function January is was attended
by many of the city's gunner, boot.
legsers, dope peddlers, dance hall
habitues and other riff raft a
committee has been appointed to
remedy this situation.
Chief among those who com.
planned were Sergt. Milton D. Smith
and Patrolman Karl o. Spiess.
Smith, who is a past president of the
association, declared he saw more
than one man and woman at the hall
whom he would have arrested with.
out hesitation.
Policeman Horace Lineburg, who
arrested Washington's ''firebug" a
short time ago, pointed out that po-
licemen themselves were responsible
for the attendance of undesirable"
at their bali. Invitations were issued
onlys to members of the force, he
said, and they were responsible for
their guests.
Representative Thomas L. Blanton
Of Texas, speaking to the associa.
ton, charged Major Edwin B. Hesse,
chief of police, and George s. Wat.
son, chief OF the Fire Department,
with having "queered' his bill for q
blanket $500 increase for police and
firemen. He charged them with hav.
ing a personal interest in securing
passage OF the Zihlnar bill which
gives officers of the two services a
greater increase than $500 a year.
Following Blanton's speech, the
association irdorsed the Texan
bill.

grimage to Europe.
Strong endorsement was given
the bill, which provides that the
Government shall bear the expense
of trip to Europe of all mothers

War soldiers who are buried abroad:
"This would be the finest tribute
that the country could pay to those
who sacrificed their husbands and
sons in the World War" said Rep
resentative Thomas S. Butler R)
of Pennsylvania, author of the bill.
The proposed pilgrimage would
be made between July /, 1928, and
June 20, 1881, all to make the trip
at the same time or in groups of
not less than 500. The Red Cross
would supervise the pilgrimage.
The four women members of the
House joined in a plea for the bill.
