POLICE GUARD
ARCHBISHOP In
MEXICAN PLOT

SAN FRANCISCO, March 28. U.P)
"A police guard was established
around the Dominican fathers
home today on reports of a threat
against the life of Archbishop
Francisco Orozco Y Jiminez, under
stood to be exiled from Guadala-
jara, Mexico.
Police protection was asked by
Father Edward j. Whelan, presi-
dent of the San Francisco universi-
ty, who said the archbishop had
been a guest at the home since
leaving Mexico.
Officers quoted Father Whelan
as saying two MeXicans had come
to San Francisco to assassinate
Archbishop Orozco. The university
head later denied mentioning a
death threat but admitted he had
been in conversation with the po-
lice chiefs office.
First word of the plot against
Archbishop Francisco Orozco Y
Jiminez came from Father Luis
Novarro, a Spanish speaking priest
from the Carmelite mission. A
Mexican member of his congrega-
ton, now under police guard, told
Father Novarro he overheard the
plotters IN store operated by two
brothers, Mario and Pedro Mar
quez, who came here two years ago
from Colima, Mexico.
The brothers said they knew
nothing of the plot, "as there is
much political talk in the store all
the time"
Archbishop Orozco's career in
Mexico was filled with many ad-
ventures. In 1916 he was accused
of conniving against the Cararnza
government on behalf of the noted
outlaw, Pancho Villa, and was
court-martialed and tried for his
life. The United States govern
ment interceded and the archbishop
was deported.
After some years in exile he re-
turned to his Guadalajara diocese
only to be banished again two
years ago under a central government
order against all priests. He lived
in Laredo, Tex, but two. months
ago yielded to opportunities from
his flock and defied the ban by re-
turning. He was there only few
weeks when forcibly deported by
airplane, and warned never to re-
turn.

manufacturer and chief negotiator
announced that DR.. Peacock had
started from the naval base in the
face of such bad weather that all
planes in this vicinity have been
grounded.
The fact that the Episcopalian

such conditions indicated the inn
portance the negotiators placed OF

made.
Where Curtis went over the week.
end was not known. He admitted
to the United Press. however, that
only after some difficulty had the
negotiators reestablished contact
with the men they believe to be

pressed the belief the baby will be

gotiator, Rear Admiral Guy H. Bur-
rage, u S. N, retired, had all plan

expected no further developments
this afternoon and that they were
trusting their faith in the belief
they were negotiating with the ac-
tual kidnapers.
Colonel Lindbergh was sleeping
early this afternoon at his Hope

SALESMAN TAKES
WITNESS STAND
in FRAUD CASE

Breaking the monotonous list of
witnesses who purchased stock in
the Associated Insurance Under
writer's, Ltd, under the delusion it
was stock in the Associated Life
Insurance company, prosecution at
torneys ii the Lewis Hart inSur-
ance trial this morning called to
the witness stand R. w. Tretten,
himself former agent of the life
insurance company and salesman of
the stock offered here during the
summer of 1890.
Tretten was still on the stand
when Judge Arthur L. Mundo de-
clared the noon recess. He was
telling of conversations here in 1880
between himself and the defendants
who are now on trial, charged with
grand theft, criminal conspiracy
and conspiracy to violate the cor
porate securities act.
Tretten testified also to attend
ing banquets at which Lewis Hart,
asserted ring-leader, spoke of the
benefits to be derived from life in
surance investments, and of his
own later activities in selling stock
in Riverside county.
Defense attorneys asserted Tret-
tens testimony aided them when
he told of Hart telling his audience
es company had been formed to
purchase a controlling interest in
the Associated Life Insurance COM
pany.
The entire outcome of this trial
hinges on the representations made
by Hart and his statesmen in selling
the holding company stock. States
witnesses thus far have testified
they purchased stock, believing they
were to get stock in an insurance
company, and later finding it was
stock in the holding company.
Arthur c. Kohn, another witness
called this morning, said it was
the representation of quick returns
from life insurance stock which
caused him to make a purchase.

SHANGHAI, March %. U.P)-An-
other deadlock halted Sino-Jap-
anese peace negotiations today while
detachments of the Mikado'S troops
began entrenching outside the city
to quell minor fighting reported
at several points.
The latest differences at the peace
parley arose over questions as to
the length of time allowed japanese
to withdraw from the Shanghai
battle zone. Although Chinese be-
lieved there was little hope for
success, they continued to attend
the meeting.
Japanese soldiers filled trenches
between Kiangwan and Liuho, two
native villages where a few weeks
ago opposing troops were locked in
a death grip. On receiving reports
that fighting had been resumed,
japanese charged the Chinese were
sending reinforcements to Soochow.

hal before proceeding northward,
spent the day calling Chinese gov
ernment leaders, including Lin Sen,

DUBLIN, March %. - President
Eamon De Valera drafted his reply

The reply was understood to re-
iterate his intention of abolishing
the oath to the crown, and of re-
tanning the land annuities, regard
less OF consequences.
1t will be submitted to the cabi-
net for sanction tomorrow.
The roll of muffled drums Easter
morning followed by the army S
peaceful march through the streets
of Dublin and other cities con-
founded critics of the Republican
Free State who had predicted yio-
lence.
The army commemorated the
1916 Easter rebellion in peaceful
manner, just as De Valera promised
it would.
The army appealed for support
of De Valera and reputation of
the Anglo-Irish treaty of 1921. It's
unrestricted parade was the first
since the Free State was formed
Men and youths drilled by night
in mountain hideouts marched
proudly before thousands of spec-
tators. Their strength and degree
of military perfection was sur
prise to many who watched them
converge on historic st. Stephens
Green.
At the demonstrations procla-
nation was read signed by the Irish
Republican army's council, appeal
ing to the people ito support De
Valera, uproot the Cosgrave regime,
and drive out British imperialiStS. >
The army still considers itself at
war with England for it never has
recognized that peace treaty. The
anniversary of the Easter rebellion
was the opportunity for nationalist
sentiment, pent up more than a
decade, to be released in 81 Repub-
lican demonstrations. In Dublin,
flags of the Irish republic hidden
away since the English army quelled
the country after five years fight
ing, were born aloft at the head of
a great parade of five battalions of

TOXIC, March 90. U.P)-Fortifi-
cation by the Soviets of the ST.
berian- -Manchurian frontier was
recognized in an official announce

ernment.
The announcement said "semi-
permanent entrenchment fortifica-
tionS" were being built on the bor-

thousands of coolies had been
brought from Vladivostok for the
work.
A simultaneous announcement
that peace negotiations at Shang-

owing to Chinese public opinion"
= The japanese press and public
did not appear disturbed at news
of Soviet concentrations in the Far
East. The war office already had
been advised of the developments.
The newspaper Nichi Nichis head
line on the Russian situation said
Moscow Shows Friendship" and
interpreted the visit of vice chair
man of the Chinese Eastern rail-
way to the Chinese governor of
Harbin as showing Moscow's will
ingness to cooperate with the gov
ernment of Manchukuo, the new
Manchurian state.
Nichi Nichi said the Moscow atti-
tude was tantamount to de facto
recognition of the new regime.
Moscow, the paper said, favors gov
ernments established according to
self determination, and may there
fore be expected to recognize Man
chukuo shortly. 1t appears that
Moscow is determined to remove
obstacles to cooperation between
Japan and Russia, Nichi Nichi said.

exchanges, newspaper polemics, and
demonstrative military maneuvers,
but they merely confirmed the in
evitability of armed clash between
American and Japanese imperial
istS," the Red Star said.
