Mexico City, Feb. q M - The Bishop of Tamaulipas and three other psesons, including . priea, were under arrest today. The charges against them were some- what of q mystery. because of of- ficial silence.
 Bishop Jose Armora was arrested with Federico Escobar. in whose home he had been Hiding. The Rev. AAnuel CampA, who has been in charge of church affairs in San Luis Potoa. and Prisciliano Garza, who was captured at Monterey. also were arrested and brought to Mex ico City.
 The charges against Armora were not announced and General Roberto Crus. chief of police, will decide shortly whether to cite him to the attorney general.
 The bishop has been in hiding in Mexico City for some time. having changed his second name to Con- xalez. Documents found on him dis closed his identity.
 His arrest apparently was ordered when police found out that he was residing in the capital without com plying with the regulations requir. ing prelates and priests to appear daily at the department of interior to sign the register.

 The visiting mayor was introduced to the Orleanians last night as he got his first glimpse of Mardi Graa reaching it's climax today. He was rushed at breath taking speed from his train to review the parade of the Krewe of Proteus. setting . carnival record by waiting nearly half an hour for him.
 Came Out of Seq
 Proteus, the sea lord. came up out of the sea and led series of floats through the picturesque New Or leans streets as the travelling sales- man for New York applauded along with thousands of spectators who occupied all the seeing space there was for blocks about the city hall reviewing stand.
 The mayor saluted the king, waved playfully at Joan of Arc. and looked with grave respect at George Wash- ington. Napoleon. Hannibal and Alex ander. He glared back at Attila and scowled and laughed aloud as Nebuchadnezzar almost fell off his float in attempting to wave greet ing.

Chicago. Feb. Fl UN - If Colonel Charles \. Lindbergh were . diaryist after the fashion of one Samuel Pepys. and if he were chronicling the happening of yesterday. he might have written, in truth:
 Monday-Up betimes, and to the air maini field at St. Louis. where awaited q right goodly tonnage of air mail which was to be transport ed by myself and five companions to Chicago via Springfield and Peoria.

 And 50 to bed.
 A Casual Day
 It was, from the flyers viewpoint, | casual day. this return to the air mail for a round trip flight over the old route: but it was an aggrava- ting one for the official welcomers, and for the newspapermen, the pho togra phers and the rank and file of Lindbergh enthusiasts. A crowd of 5000 persons waited at the munich pal airport from dusk until the fleet of St. Louis planes had landed, but

 The mayor professed lack of in- formation for the mile jaunt bearing his name but seemed impressed when advised that her ladyship will be called on to carry only 10l pounds. He thought the Ancient Mariner should be formidable if 1t rains. Suggestion of rain for Mardi Gras day. however. brought reprov- ing glances from hts New Orleans hosts.

 Tonight the mayor will feel at home with two engagements. both carnival balls, one on the heels of the other.

only a handful knew when Col Llndbergh's plane slipped easily out of the blackness onto the snow-cov- cred field.
 Pushing milling and shivering in the wind that swept the field, the crowd was difficult to handle. The arrival and departure of the man they had.come to see took place so unexpectedly. however. that Colonel Lindbergh was away from the field before official announcement was made that he had arrived.
 So successful was the Lone Eagle in evading the crowd and becoming for the day just one of the boys" " that only two newspopermen. one a representative of the Associated Press. were able to locate him in the modest apartment in which sev- eral of the regular mail pilots make their home.
 Sorry Ran Away I'm sorry l ran away from the crowd at the field" Colonel Lind bergh said. '1 wasn't trying to dis appoint anyone. but I was nearly mobbed when I came down at Peoria. and it was evident when l came down here that another large crowd was waiting. Someone almost certainly would have gotten mixed up in the propeller. That's why l got aUav as olietly as I did.
 I'm going to spend the night with my old buddies of the air mail. After we get through our chin-fest, and have a bite to eat, I'll turn Tn, because I've got to take off on the return trip to St. Louis right on schedule-5:50 a. m.'
 There was disappointment at one home near the air field at Haywood the home of the Albert Langleys, where Slim Liudbergh used to have a room. Someone had called the Langleys early last night to tell Miss Lenore Langley, a daughter, that she was to be a guest at "a little gathering" 10 be given for Col onel Lindbergh. She was to be ready at a moments notice, and an auto- mobile would call.
 Visit Later
 But no call came. Later Colonel Lindbergh said that some friend had probably been overzealous, as the rigors of the round trip precluded even casual meeting with all his old friends. He said he expected to visit the Langleys on a later visit when he will have more time for re- newal of acquaintances.
 Colonel Lindbergh's plane was the third of the six mail planes to land. He was beaten to the field by pilots Thomas Nelson and Philip Love, who made nonstop flights from St. Louis.
 Colonel Lindbergh expressed plea- sure when told that in bringing ap- proximately 3,400 pounds of air mail from St. Louis he and his five com panions had broken the tonnage car rying record. He said, as he invar- iably has said before. that the flying

THE Queens Husband"
"The Queens Husband" by Robert
Emmett Sherwood, author of The Road
to Rome" opened here last night at
Polls Theater for the week. 1t may
not be another Road to Rome" but at
entertainment. Abandoning historical
events of a long dead past, Mr.. Sher-
wood has picked a mythical island
kingdom in the North Sea for the set
ting Of his new play. and timed 1t IN
the present. He SatirizeS royalty IN
the twentieth century. The divine
right of kings becomes under his ham
ding mere echo of the past.
AS the title of the play indicates,
the imprint of woman on the tide Of
events is important. However, the
queens husband, who happens to be
the king, has the last word. He has
been blessed with wife who happens
to be beautiful woman with strong
will. The king, kindly soul with
passion for checquers which he exer-
ciSes in secret with one of the palace
attendants, has permitted himself to be
submerged. His wife the queen. is the
dominating force in the kingdom. Next
to the queen are the general of army
and the prime minister.
Reds and revolutionary activities on
the part of the Liberals shake the
island kingdom The queens husband,
who has been mere name, becomes
king, not because he has any desire
to do so, but rather whimSically and
because it seems to be the only way
out of the difficulties into which his
more adroit advisers have plunged his
country. The queen, by the way, has
gone on a visit to the United States,
a la Queen Marie of Rumania, with
the announced intention of raising a

moment.

ter of the king and queen, for the

ART GALLERY OPEN
TOMORROW NIGHT
CorCOran Visitors to Cast
Ballots on Paintings
Through Sunday.

In order that persons whose work
precludes attendance during weekday
gallery hours may enjoy opportunity to
vote for their favorite picture in the
current eleventh biennial exhibition of
cotemporary American Oil Paintings,
officials of the Corcoran Gallery Of Art
announce that the institution will be
specially opened tomorrow night from
until 1890 o'ci)ck.
During this week and through next
Sunday all visitors may participate in
the usual popular referendum, which
has come to be q lookedfor feature OF
these biennial displays. Each person
on entering the gallery as handed a
printed ballot, on which one may indi-
cate ones favorite. Every picture in
the exhibition is eligible TO participate
in this contest, which results in the
award of a special prize of 5000 to the
winning artist.
This feature originated in 19l6-1917
with the sixth biennial and has proven
so successful that it has been repeated
regularly since and initiated elsewhere.
There has been, perhaps, as great an
interest displayed in the verdict of the
art-loving public as in the prizes given
by the professional jury on award. In
the sixth exhibition Miss Lydia Field
EnlImeG received Jne popular prize on
her painting entitled Portrait of a
Child" The winning artists and pic
lures at succeeding biennials have been
as follows:
Seventh exhibition, 1919-I920-Wil-
liam M. Paxton, Girl Sewing
Eighth exhibition, 921-1922-William
M. Paxton, "Girl Arranging Flowers -
Ninth exhibition, 923-1924-Sidney
M. Dickinson, Nude"
Tenth exhibition, 1926-Carl Rung-
ius, The Mountaineer'
The public so far. while often differ
ing widely in its majority opinion from
the verdicts of the professional paint
ers, has always picked an admittedly
good picture and this week its taste
will undoubtedly again be vindicated.
