MEXICO CHURCH
CONTINUES

VERA CRUZ, Mexico, June 90
GNSD.-Governor Tejeda Of
Vera Cruz state today filed a
counter petition with the district
court protesting the injunction
granted by the court on Satur-
day restraining the state from
enforcement of the ecclesiastical
limitation law.
This law would limit the num-
Der of priests or ministers permit
ted to officiate at religious cere-
monies to one for each 100000 OF
population.
The governor, in his counter
petition, argued that the Catholic
Church in Mexico is the agent of
a foreign power, implying the
church represents the Italian gov
ernment through an arrangement
with the Vatican. He bitterly
attacked the conduct of the Cath
olic priests. and declared the
church in Mexico annually sends
$15,000,000 to Rome. He declared
this money should be used to
build schools in Mexico.
A group Of 100 anti-church
demonstrators who marched to a
parochial church today found the
building guarded by federal
troops.

WHEAT DECISION
EXPECTED IN
FEW DAYS
All Grain, Cotton Probably
Will Be Kept Off Market
Under Pressure of Farmers

Confronted with strong pressure
for a detailed announcement of
its policy, the harried Federal
Farm Board today moved to ar.
rive at decision as to what it Is
going to do with the 100000, 900
bushels of wheat it has purchased
and stored in an effort to sta
bilize the price Of this commodity.
For the present it is standing
pat" denying reports that it has
had a difference of opinion"
with President Hoover over the
sale of this wheat, or that it
has acceded to a request, alleged
to have come from the White
House, that the major part Of
this wheat be kept off the mar
ket for at least four months.
Early Decision Seen
Political and agricultural In
terests in the wheat belt States
are joining in a demand that the
Federal Farm Board make known
Immediately what 1t Is going to
do. In response, the board ex-
poets to reach n decision and
make 1t public within the next
two or three days.
1t is expected this decision may
modify in some details the board S
present policy Of orderly sell
ing" of it's surplus wheat abroad
The board probably will agree,
it is reported, to withhold Vir-
tually all grain and cotton from
the market for several months,
as means Of stabilizing the
market.
Curtis Against Dumping
Vice, President Curtis, Senator
Watson (R.), of Indiana, and Sen
atOr Capper (RD, Of Kansas, are
among those who have Joined with
President Hoover in asking that
the storage wheat be withheld
from the market, it Is said.
Powerful agricultural interests
have also advocated the same pol
icy, making it clear that, in their
belief, any selling policy will ut
terly demoralize the domestic price
of wheat during the harvest
months.
Some members of the Federal
Farm Board are said to hold the
view that some of it's wheat hold
ings must be sold for export and
to millers during July, August and
September. despite the strong pp-
position to this program now man
ifeSted.

are expected to determine its
fate.
"NO agreement has been
reached, as there are still sew.
eral technical questions to be
discussed" said Acting Secre-
tary of State William r. Castle,
jr., following transatlantic tele-
phone conversation with Secre.
tary Of the Treasury Mellon in
Paris.
"NO proposals will be ac-
cepted that do not fall COM
pleteIy into the spirit and pur-
pose of the Presidents Offer"
The nature of the technical
question" was not revealed.
No Cause for PeSsimism
The negotiations, he added, are
proceeding in the best of spirit
on both sides and there is no
cause for undue pesSimiSm.
Under the circumstances, how
ever, it developed today that the
German leaders who were to have
gone to Paris tomorrow to partl-
cipate in the conversations have
decided to stay in Berlin. They
will let the French and American
negotiators thresh out the con-
troversy. Information OF the
change in German plans was re
ceived at the German embassy
here.
There is reason to believe that
the German decision not to go to
Paris at this time is quite in
keeping with American wishes.
The Administration has no desire
or intention Of becoming in
volved in a general European
conference on reparations ana
war debts, according to OFFICIALS
here.
Laval Calls Cabinet
Castles announcement that no
agreement had been considered
that vitiated the broad scope OF
the Presidents offer was MADE
shortly after he had emerged
from a lengthy conference WIN
the President. Castle went to
the White House after talking
with Secretary Mellon and LAID
before Mr.. Hoover the results OF
Melons talk this morning with
Premier Laval.
Whatever Mellon told the
French premier was not disclosed,
but it was regarded as significant
that Laval thought it necessary
to summon a meeting Of the
French cabinet for this evening,
and to arrange to see Mellon
again at $3.50 p. m. This pro-
cedure suggested that Secretary
Mellon had put proposition be,
fore the French that the premier
did not care to act upon without
first consulting his cabinet.
Two of the striking points in
the negotiations are said to hinge
around, first, what disposition
would be made of the funds
which France insists Germany
deposit in the Bank Of Interna-
tional Settlements even during
the moratorium period, and, sec
ondly. the method of resuming
payment.

APPLEsAUCE" IS
A DECIDED HIT.
LEGION AUXILIARY PLAYERS EN-
TERRAIN FILLED AUDITORIUM
WITH FINE PRESENTATION OF
THREE-ACT COMEDY.

A young man who disdains active
participation in labor and who goes
about making friends by the judicious
distribution of "applesauce,' banana
OIL" soft soap" and palaver, was the
leading character in the American Leg
ion Auxiliary play, "Applesauce" staged
at the Washington Auditorium last ev-
ening before a crowded house.
That people prefer to hear something
nice of themselves instead of the truth,
YVES clearly proven when Bill Meal
lister, (Wally Hanson) won the girl he
loved away from Rollo jenkins Nuther
Bang) a millionaire, money making
grub without friends, in the face OF the
opposition of the matter-fact and
scrappy parents of the young lady,
Ma and Pa Robinson, (Mrs. Ruth King
and Tom Murn) and the uncle of the
young man, Matt McAllister, Eugene
Joncas).
The young lady who threw away a
barrel of money in favor of the apple
sauce" spreading McAllister, was Hazel
RI .binson, MRS. NJ W. PetersonD The
gossiping neighbor, Jennie Baldwin,
Mrs. J.. Luthanen) also tried to do her
share TO mix up matters. All succeeded
and the matter was not cleared up
until the final scene when proof was
presented that "applesauce" did the
business.
The play was one of the best ever
presented in the city in the farce
comedy line. The work of coaching
the players was done by Mrs. L. M.
Bang who proved her aptitude for this
class of work most admirably in turn
ing out such finished production last
evening.
The stage settings and properties
were furnished by local business con-
Germs and were new and up-to-date.
Mrs. w. E. Trezona and Miss Lillian
Schaefer were business managers and
property custodians. Mrs. A. j. Nc
Mahan was advertising manager. Mrs.
Jack Seraphine had charge of the tic
ket sales and Fred Neff was stage
manager.
The High School Orchestra played a
most excellent program of selections
before and after the performance and
between the acts. Auxiliary ladies
acted as usherS and not a mixup &C.
cured during the evening in the seats.
