Vatican Stirred
By Assassination

ROME, July 1s.-P)-News of the
death Of President-elect Oregon Of
Mexico produced considerable i'm
preston at the Vatican because only
recently the congregation for ex-
tr%aordinary ecclesiastical affairs met
several times 10 examine and discuss
q possible modus vivendi concerning
the status Of the church in Mexico.
This possible plan is supposed to have
had Obregon's approval and il is un-
derstood would have been accepted
ono he became president.
Cardinal Wannutelli, dean Of the
congregation, had supported the pro-
ject for ending the strife by granting
some concessions in view of the
changed situation in Mexico. The
congregation also asked the Mexican
archbishop, Monsignor Ruis Y Flores
70 appear before il several times in
order TO give explanations regarding
various matters with which the cardi-
mails were not acquainted. The arch
bishop, who has settled in Rome as
a member Of the faculty Of the Latin
American college, fully satisfied the
congregation on various important
points.

mediately put through a telephone
call to Ambassador Morrow at Mex
leo City and later dispatched a tele-
gram of coincidence TO Acting For
eign Minister Estrada.
Ambassador Teller refused at first
TO believe that Obregon was dead.
He, too, called the Mexican capital
by telephone.
General Obregon's death came az
a time when the Observation-Disclosures
relations were more cordial than
they had been in years. Through
the efforts Of Ambassador Morrow
and with the cooperation of Presi-
dent Gales major points of differ
ence had been effectually settled and
an era Of further Improvement in
the relationship Of the two repub-
lies was in prospect.
From Ambassador Morrow, Mr..
Kellogg learned that he already had
called upon President Gales and
Minister Estrada to express the SYM
pathy Of the government and his
own regret.
Secretary Kellogg's message to
Estrada termed the tragedy a "das-
tardly attack" and said the United
States had learned Of General Obre-
CONS death with profound sorrow"
Ambassador Teller declared that
the assassination would result in 4
unification of sentiment against "the
forces Of reaction and revolution
