SCHOOLSSHUT
Instructors, Students
Held For Sedition;
Others Raided

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 27.-CP)-The
principal, is instructors and eight
students of a Catholic school were
under arrest today as the result Of
police drive to enforce the religious
laws.
The entire student body of the
Seminario de Regina was arrested,
but 100 of the students were released
last night on orders from General
Roberto Cruz, chief of police of Mex
leo City. Twenty-one teachers, re-
puted 10 be nuns Of Colegio Josefino,
q Catholic girls school, who were ar
rested Wednesday charged with con-
ducting propaganda against the gov
ernment were also released by order
OF the district court.
The seminary. the Colegio Josefino
and two smaller Catholic girls
schools were closed in the police cam
paign.
Father Benigno Esquivel, principal
of the seminary, u priests and four
other teachers were held by police
pending investigation of alleged Sc
ditious activities by them against the
Eight students for the priesthood
arrested at the same time were also
held in custody. They were said by
police TO have been found dressed in
cassocks in violation the religious
laws which forbid the wearing Of
priestly gsrb.
The police also closed the head
quarters of the Catholic federation.
Seventeen members found inside at
the time were arrested but later re-
leased.
General Cruz said the police had
been informed by one Of the servants
at the seminary of propaganda there
against the government.
The orders for the raids on the
schools were issued, he said, because
Of reports that the religious laws
were being violated in the schools
visited by the imparting Of religious
teaching in violation of the constitu-
tion. Drastic measures would be TAX
en- in all similar cases, he asserted,
because the government was determ-
ined to enforce the laws of the coun-
try.

BORDER town
Matamoros, to Get 4
New Ventures In
Coming Year

Inspired largely by the probabili-
ties Of the Valley having its own
deep water port at Point Isabel,
four strong Mexican concerns are TO
launch new enterprises in Mata-
moros within the next year, Luis
Rendon, secretary Of the chamber
Of commere Of that city, announced
Friday.
Soap, vegetable cooking oil, ard
cotton products are included in the
manufacturing plans Of those who
would make of Matamoros the manu-
featuring city Of the border. Three
OF the new enterprises are to be ur-
der the direction Of Maramoros bus
mess men, while one company from
Nuevo Laredo will locate in the city
opposite Brownsville, Mr.. Rendon
stated.
The entire increase is being
brought about largely because Of the
strong probability Of the establish
ment of q deep water port at the
Point, he declared. Such a port will
afford the manufacturers an oppor-
tunity TO place their prooucts in the
markets of the Gulf of Mexico with
minimum loss of time. Mr. Rem
don said.
The oil company. Ia Victoria. Is
to establish a factory for the manu-
facture Of vegetable cooking oil. and
another where soaps or all descrip-
tions will be made. The cotton seed
oil refinery. already In operation.
will furnish the basic ingredients for
the manufacture of both these pro-
duets. il was said.
Machinery for both the new ven
lures already has been ordered. and
delivery probably will be made with
in the next few weeks, il was said.
The company is a strong one, and
fully capable of carrying out its
plans, Mr.. Rendon declared.
The firm Of Gonzalez Hiio, of
Nuevo Laredo. has definitely re-
solved to establish a cotton seed oil
mill in Matamoros. and il Is possible,
according to their statement. that
within a year they will be refining
oil and manufacturing shortening
so7ps Of all kinds.

his own plan which his counsel, Je-
rome Walsh and Richard Cantillon
said would seriously hamper the de-
fense.
Walsh said: eve don't want Hick-
man to take the witness stand in
view his insanity defense, and we
determined to talk we cannot stop
him, but such a move would serious
ly :njure defense plans"
The burden of the offense in the
trial of Hickman will be piled upon
the shoulders of the defense at
torneys by the prosecution.
This became known today when
District Attorney Asa Keyes re-
vealed that the prosecution in the
trial now in progress merely would
read the indictment charging Hick-
man with the kidnapping and murder
of little Marian Parker and then
rest its case. Under this procedure,
all of the states evidence-testi-
mony of seven alienists and numer-
Gus other witnesses and the confes-
sions Of Hickman to the crime
would be presented in rebuttal.
But the question Of when a jury
would be completed to hear that in
dictment and the evidence brought
conflicting opinions from the rival
attorneys.
Eight men and four women, all
middle aged except one, held tenta-
tive places in the jury box at the
close Of yesterdays session. But Je-
rome Walsh Of Kansas City, the 25
year old chief defense counsel, an
nounced that nine of these would
lose their seats under peremptory
challenges of the defense in today's
court session. 1t Will be next
Wednesday, in the opinion Of the de-
fense. before the jury is completed
and the march of the evidence be-
gins.
Keyes, who examined ~ prospec-
tive jurors in four minutes after the
defense had spent the entire day in
wedding 10 men and women down to
a dozen, predicted that the final jury
would be seated before the close OF
court today.
At the close Of the first day Of
jury picking, the state had used the
first of its allotted 20 challenges.
The defense still had its permitted
score intact.
Judge ]. J. Trabucco's chief spur
to a speed in jury selection was the
order that prospective jurors be ex-
amined in groups Of II on general
questions. Although the defense
dropped back into individual exam
ination repeatedly. the judge quickly
brought the attorney back TO group
questioning.
Crisply he overruled the greater
part Of the objections generously
sprinkled through the first day Of
the trial by the defense. At times
he placed a definite period of his
decisions with a "there will be no
argument"

polite inquiry.
"This kiddy Of mine; he's four

Seago was momentarily nonplus-

equanimity, produced the neces-

claimed.
Had those in the plot sought 10
snatch it from the designated spot
at the foot of a flight of stairs be-
hind a Springfield department store,
they would have been surrounded by
squad Of policemen.
The supposed money had been
placed there by a messenger who left
New York on a train which arrived
in Springfield at 2:51 p. m. yester-
day afternoon, in accordance with in
structions from the ransom writer.
He deposited the packet and then
registered at a designated hotel to
await word which would tell him
Miss Smiths whereabouts.
In the meantime the state police
took up positions where they could
watch without being observed. The
long vigil was unrewarded and late
last night the hope that the plotters
would appear was abandoned.
Police said the letter had been
penciled by an educated person.
