To BE Resumed After
Inventory Made

Father Antonio Garcia v Garcia,
who was in charge Of the Catholic
cathedral In Matamoros, across the
Rio Grande from here, until Au-
gust. 1926, said tonight he had re-
ceived no orders from Bishop Maria
Serafin Armora Of Laredo to take
over the parish there, following set
Element OF differences between the
Catholic church and the Mexican
government.
He said he would hold himself in
readiness to take over the property
ms soon as the bishop authorized
this action and the military au-
thorttieS OF Matamoros announced
they had completed an inventory OF
the property.
The cathedral. since shortly after
Il was evacuated by Garcia, has
been In charge Of Father Jose Ri
vera, a Schismstic priest.
IN Matamoros there appeared 70
be little interest IN the reported set
Element OF the difficulties. but this
was only q surface indication. More
intimate conversation in the homes
and on the street carried a note of
relief and happiness.
The revolution failed to reach
this portion OF the border IN anv
way other than as an interesting
topic OF conversation, with most Of
the residents Of the Mexican CITY
maintaining silence on their posi-
ton.
The church row vas greeted much
n the same way. A majority Of the
parlshioners came across the inter-
national bridge to services in the
