Archbishop Ruiz Tomor-

By the Associated Press.

MEXICO CITY. June s.-PreSident
Emilio Portes Gil tonight told news
paper men that he anticipated amicable
discussions with Archbishop Leopoldo
Ruiz, who Is expected to arrive here
tonight from Washington. and hoped
that a way could be found to end the
controversy with the Catholic Church
that has been acute for three years.
The President declared that he did
not know precisely what proposal the
archbishop would bring for solution Of
the problem but stated emphatically
that there would be no change in the
existing laws In Mexico governing reli-
gious activities.
He explained that the archbishop
had sought an interview with him
through the embassy at Washington
and did so as Mexican citizen and a
prelate of the Mexican church. 1t was
understood that he would be received
in this capacity rather than as an
apostolic delegate due to the fact that
Mexico does not maintain official rela-
tions with the Vatican.
The archbishop will be received by
the President probably on Monday. The
latter today denied that there had been
tween his government and the Vatican.
either directly or indirectly, and said
no such communication was in prospect
The negotiations will be on the basis OF
discussion of internal affairs of Mexico
with a Mexican citizen.
Archbishop Ruiz and Bishop Diaz Of
Tobasco left the train at Lecheria. rs
miles from the capital, and continued
their journey by automobile. presum-
ably being taken to homes Of friends
to avoid any demonstration at the rail-
road station.
A crowd Of 500 persons waited for
them In vain at the station here, and
others were thrown of the scent by
two automobiles drawn up at the
suburban station OF Tacuba, oStensibly
for the use of the bishops. Both had
remained in strict seclusion i'll a train

and apparently were unwilling To
jeopardize the delicate negotiations by
any demonstrations such as public

DETROIT, June S.-The Detroit Free
Press tomorrow will say that the mys1
terry of the murder of the Rev. Edward
w. Hall and Mrs. Eleanor Mills, seven
years ago near New Brunswick, N. J.I
was reopened here Saturday as o rel
suit of the declaration of Federal
prisoner here that he overheard the
quarrel which led to the shooting OF
the minister and the choir singer.
The prisoner, Kenneth Gladeau, is in
the county Jail here, being held for
Federal authorities. He told the sheriff
of Wayne County and Free Press
reporter that he witnessed the murder
from a thicket. Gladeau's story is in
the hands of Francis L. Bergen, prose-
cutor, of Somerset County, N. j., who
is expected to come here soon to Ques-
tion Gladeau.
Paid for Silence.
Gladeau said he received $4,000 from
one of the murderers to keep silent
about the affair.
Gladeau was arrested May 2 at
Plymouth, Mich, for Federal authorities.
Remarks he made then to Chief of
Police Springer at Plymouth and to
Robert E. Moore, identification super
intendent at the Wayne County Jail,
caused them to question him closely.
He said that knife which was found
in his room had figured in the Hall
Mills killing.
According to Gladeau's statement
which will appear in the Free Press, he
was hiking near New Brunswick and
had stopped to sleep in thicket on the
night of the Staying. He was disturbed
by the voices OF man and woman
who called each other Edward" and
Eleanor" He said that after the man
and the woman had talked for time,
apparently of eiopement plans and had
discussed the future Of some one the
woman called Charlotte" another
woman and two men came on the scene.
Describes Scene.
The two women quarreled, Gladeau
said, and the two men tried to lead
the first one away. A third man then
appeared. He fired a gun at Hall,
Gladeau said, and the latter fell. The
woman called Eleanor started to run
away but the newcomer caught her by
the arm and fired three shots.
Gladeau said he followed the party
and when it broke up followed the man
who had done the shooting. He accosted
the man, ne said and told him he knew
of the crime. The next day he met
the man at bank and was paid $1,000
to keep silent.
Gladeau said he had prison record
and felt that if he revealed his presence
at the scene of the crime, he might
have been "railroaded" to Jail to satisfy
the demand for conviction.

KIDNAP VICTIM
Search for Pretty Child in
Dunes Area Is Futile.

BU United Press
MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, March 10.
Search was to be resumed today
for pretty 15-year-old Marion Smith,
Chesterton high school girl, missing
for more than a week.
The girl disappeared while hiking
along a highway in the dunes sec
ton.
Two parties of the local post of
the American Legion made search
of the surrounding countryside Mon
day, but their efforts proved futile.
Milton Smith, father of the girl,
led a party of fourteen who searched
the wooded section in this vicinity,
but to no avail.
Numerous clews have been adj
vanced as to the girls fate, but
until present all have proved base
less.
The girl accepted a ride and was
kidnapped, or wandered out into the
dunes and became lost, authorities
believe.
