accused of having attempted to hold
up Harry NJ Rowe. a Waynesboro, Pa,
merchant, who was driving between

They were lodged in jail in Waynes-
boro, charged with assault with intent
to rob and impersonating an ofncer. Ac-
cording to Waynesboro authorities, the
Youths, who are students at Yale, con-
fessed that they first stopped .Rowes 5

did not, made a demand on Rowe and
his companion. Harold Hill, also OF
Waynesboro, for money.
The hold-up occurred on the out
skirts of Waynesboro, and Hill, who
saved Rowe's money by leaping from
the truck with it, raced over the hills
to a nearby garage and called for as
sistance, while the pair fed. The posse
was hastily organized and the capture
followed shortly afterward.
1t was said at the Prince home,
on Chevy Chase Circle. today that the
family was In Pennsylvania and 1t Is
understood they were passing the SUM-
mer at Monterey.
The two youths are said to have been
on their way to Washington at the
time. They stopped the truck by hall
ing it. Neither was armed, according
to authorities.
Rowe said the two first declared they
were officers and demanded to see II
he was carrying whisky. Then fol-
lowed the demand for money, which
was saved by Hills quick-wittedness.
At the Offices of the elder Prince IT
was said he had left for Pennsylvania
this morning.

MACMILLAN'S PARTY RETURNS
FROM ARCTIC EXPLORATIONS
Fails to Discover Proof of
NorSemen Ever Reaching
Labrador.
Finds Limits of Plant, Fish
and Bird Life Farther North
Than Supposed.

BY the Associated Press.
SYDNEY, N. S., September 4.-The
end of Comdr Donald B. Macmillan's
eleventh venture into the Arctic and
Subarctic was drawing near today with
one of the principal objects of the ex-
ploration still undetermined-proof that
Norsemen ever reached Labrador.
The expedition put in here yester-
day from Main. Labrador, for fuel and
then prepared to continue to Wiscasset,
Me-. whence 1t sailed In June, 1927.
But. although the explorer brought
back no conclusive evidence to confirm
Eskimo and other tradition of early
Scandinavian settlers. his party did sue
ceed in fixing the boundaries of Arctic
plan, fish and bird life at line much
farther north than had been previously
supposed. Included among the 5000
specimens aboard the schooner were
many varieties hitherto not thought To
exist in those regions.
The adventurers inquired eagerly for
news Of the Bremen flight and the
finding of the Greater Rockford flyers
for whom the Bowdoin was only pre-
vented assisting in search by lack OF
fuel.
A story of how the wreck Of the Hud-
son Bay Co.'S steamer Bay Rupert had
proven the salvation of starving ES-
kimo settlements of Northern Labrador
and of a visit to Kodlunarn Island, in
Frobisher Bay. the first attempted set
tlement of white men in the Subarctic,
were high lights of the many nara
tives told by the Bowdoin's company.

ton with her administration of State
census funds. today was sentenced to
serve 80 days in the Albany County iail

visible sign Of emotion.
In declining to suspend sentence, Su-
preme Court Justice Stephen Calaghan

trial last May when specialists testified
that she was on the verge of a nervous
collapse. Her first trial ended In a dis
agreement
During the Summer she has been
under the care of physicians at various

ommendati0n for a suspended sentence
on "the changes undergone by the de-
fendant beginning with the crime
charged in the indictments, because of
their present continuance her physical
and mental suffering her exposure, dis
grace and complete ruin, and because
of the State debt to Clara Blanche

aspect Of her case and all that has
been said In her favor and after mature

Ask Amendment of Laws to
Establish Religious
Liberty.
EMPHASIZE COMPLETE
INDEPENDENCE OF STATE
Plea Given to Committee for Re-
port-School Instruction Made
Vital Issue.

BY the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY, September "A
petition signed by 140 prominent Catho-
lie laymen asking amendment of the
religious laws to establish complete re-
ligious liberty in Mexico and make the
church and state independent" was
before a Senate committee today for
consideration.
The petition was read in the Senate
last night and turned over to the COM
mittee on constitutional points for a
report on 1t. The memorial was also
filed with the chamber, but that body
was not in session yesterday. The petit
ton asks specifically:
First. that the legal existence and
personality of all distinct denominations
be recognized
Second, that the separation and in
dependence between the state and diff
ferent religious denominations be recog-
nized and that consequently the state
should not legslate in religious affairs.
Urges Cooperation,
Third. that this separation not be
system of hostility but Of friendly CO.
operation in order to benefit the COM
monwealth. Each in its own sphere
can be independent. the state in affairs
of the temporal order, the church in
affairs of the spiritual order. They can
and should contribute thus to make
Mexico a prosperous and enjoyable
country. This involves no question OF
constituting one state with another
state. but instead an independent
spiritual authority alongside and in
harmony with another independent
civil authority. This is beneficial and
customary in all civilized countries and
nowhere creates conflict and nowhere
is considered as implanting state
within state"
The petition said the Catholics only
ask for what is indispensable TO our
life" It then urged that the articles
of the constitution be made to read as
follows:
Article 3 Teaching is free. That
impaired In the State schools will be
subject to terms established by law
which will not be antagonistic to re-
ligion or those being educated by its
practice Said teaching to be gratui-
tous in the state primary schools.
Asks Religious Teaching.
''In private schools, religion can be
taught freely according TO the dictates
of parents or in their name by those
supporting and directing said schools.
In government schools. at the. re-
quest of parents and tutors. classes in
religious instruction can be opened un-
der the care of persons considered to
be competent by the former. but at
tendance is not obligatory unless the
parents desire.
Article 5: The state cannot permit
any contract, pact or agreement to be
entered upon the object Of which would
entail the diminution, loss or irrevo-
cable sacrifice of ones liberty for rea-
sons of labor or education motives

fess any religious creed he or she chooses

AUGUSTA, Ca. September 4.-The
first and one of the most treacherous
legs Of the transcontinental war ma
neuver flight of composite squadron
of nine twin-engined Army Air Corps
bombing planes from Langley Field, Va.
was completed at 6 o'clock last night
when, amid the cheers of Augusta citi-
zens, the big formation settled to earth
at the new municipal airport here.
In making the 410-mile flight from
Langley. the ,bombers accomplished
piece of cross-country work that should
bring additional laurels to the famous
I'd Bombardment Group, which was
organized during the war. fought gal
lantly overseas and then came back to
this country and sunk the battleships.
It was fight that probably never@ould
have received but passing notice from
the outside world had not there been
newspaper men of more or less air ex-
perience along.
Face Hugh Task.
They saw the gigantic task ahead Of
Maj. Hugh j. Knerr and his lombard
ment pilots. The task is to move the
composite squadron of the group from
the Atlantic to Los Angeles and there
merge with other American air units
and offset an enemy attack for two
days. The pilots impatiently sat" on
the ground at Langley Field and swore
at the weather and fate which pre-
vented them from getting a start Sep
tember L. as the war tactical order
called for II there were any on the
ground who sneered at them for not
flying in the face of fog, rain and
general tough" conditions, they should
have been along yesterday.
AS far as the pilots are concerned
the trip from the pleasure standpoint
was mot so hot" and they let 1t go
at that.
few minutes before the popula
ton Of Augusta, which had been wait
ing as patiently for the arrival Of the
bombers as the bonbers had waited
impatiently at Langley Field, heard a
thunderous drone above their heads.
1t was the signal, A mad rush was
made for automobiles. They sped out
the highway at so and so miles per
hour TO be at the airport i'll time for
the arrival When the bombers
dragged" the field once. they found
ropes holding the populace back. The
three "V' formations making the nine
planes passed over maiestically and
then on signal from Maj Knerr, pilot

other bombers In line. IL was an in
