garding forfeiture of property was handed down in case brought to it from Saltilla, in Coahuila state, in which a woman rented house to bishop Echeverria of Saltilla.
 The court decreed that the goy- ernment was justified in confiscat- ing the property in question and any property rented by anyone for any Catholic purpose, including that of a Catholic school or other institution.
 Such property immediately, and as of fact, reverts to the govern ment, the court held.
 This ruling was regarded as im- portant as was the letter Of the president because it was linked with insistent and apparently au- thentic reports regarding he de- termination of the government to close all Catholic churches and ex- pei all priests within one month.
 Six Year Plan
 The government has "six year" plan of economic reconstruction, a far reaching one aimed at build ing up Mexican industry with Mex ican capital and returning land to the peasants.
 Education of the masses in the country is an important part of the governments program. and the government has insisted that the peoples education must be on purely rational basis without reference to religion.
 Not only churchmen but church. goers and thousands of students have protested - some church. goers and students by mass demonstrations and school strikes against the program.
 May Close Schools
 The government has shown no disposition to compromise and has been backed by parliament. The threat has been made that if stu- dents continued to declare strikes their schools would be closed and the revenues allotted to them used to open rural schools for educa- ton of peasants.
 Catholic clergymen have not concealed their opposition to the ''socialistic" program. But Arch bishop Pascual Diaz, in state ment October 25, denying that Catholics were formenting trouble or were guilty of sedition, said:
 "The only thing we are doing is to defend the rights guaranteed Catholics by the articles of the Mexican constitution. We have been instructed by the holy see to avoid violence and politics, but we want all churchmen to know their duties as citizens to defend their rights by legal and moral means"

 Americans won total of $2,16s,- 317 in sweep prizes.

 How Others Finished.
 It. Col. D. R. Kewley's grand rounds finished fourth. British quota was fifth and the Blue Boy sixth. :.
 There was frantic betting just before the race and the odds shifted rapidly. Sir Alfred Butts Spend A Penny, finally emerged the favorite at starting odds of [ to 1.
 Wychwood Abbot had been the earlier favorite and was being bet heavily for the last two weeks. Those who coupled him with Mar shall Fields Enfield, winner of the Cescarewitch, collected heavily from the bookmakers.

 Despite dull, rainy day, a tremendous crowd turned out. Elk citement was intense as the big field milled around for eight min- utes at the post.
 They were off in blur. When the colors could be distinguished, l, Spirituelle II, The Blue Boy, Grin dleton, Caymanas, Solfatara, High land and Commander III were most prominent.
 At the bushes about seven fur longs from the start, the leaders were Highlander, Spirituelle II, The Blue Boy, Solfatara, Grand Rounds and Badruddin.

 Gov. Paul V. McNutt, 1ambasted politically because of Dillinger' and another escape from the Michigan City state prison, promised an ex- pose that would rock the state. His investigators claimed evidence showing that Dillinger bought his way out of the jail, and that his lit- tie wooden gun wasn't so amazing, after all.
 The republicans, battling to break McNutt's powers, laughed at the roundup of eight suspects.
 Senator Arthur R. Robinson, re- publican, wanted to know why the governor hadn't extended his ex- posing to the state prison break.
 "We've been scandalized from one end of the state to the other for more than year." Robinson declared.

 The plan provides immediate end of the strike against the A. & F. Co and immediate reopening of the 800 closed A. & F. stores. The 2,200 idle employees would be rein- stated without discrimination.
 Despite apparent collaboration in drawing up the fact, the board emphasized that:
 Ut was expressly understood by the board that neither party was committed to the proposal, but both parties made it clear that they would take the proposed agreement under consideration as Q recommendation of the board and would inform the board within a few days of their decision"
 The agreement was announced after nearly 12 hours of continuous deliberatoin. Besides Hartford and the two members of the labor board, representatives of the seven involved unions and Edward F. McGrady, assistant secretary of labor, attended the conference.
 Significance of the agreement was seen here as the fact that il proposed an immediate peaceful end of the Cleveland trouble. Un- less this is achieved it has been feared that labor warfare on na- tional scale may be expected not only against the A. & P. con- pany but against other large chain grocery concerns and food process. ing companies.
 Although Hartford and Thomas s. Farrell, secretary of the Cleve- land Federation of Labor and spokesman of the union group, left here without comment on the plan, there were strong indications that they would support its acceptance by their associates.
 The plan provides agreement by the company not to discriminate against workers for union activi. ties and a promise to advise all workers that 1t does not object to their joining union and will not discriminate against them for such action.
 If accepted it will represent a two-way compromise. Hartford entered the conference insisting that his firm intended to close out it's business in Cleveland. The unions announced they would be satisfied with nothing less than the "closed shop.

The persons who sold the lucky tickets also shared in the distribu- ton. The three sellers of the first prize tickets will receive s5.000 each, the eight sellers of the sec ond prize tickets will ge $3.750 apiece, and the four dispensers of the third prize tickets will receive $2,600 each. In addition to this 273 sellers of consolation prize winning tickets will get $125 apiece. or a total of $34.125.
 Those figures are approximate, based <on the pound sterling at around $5.
 Many of the prize winners already had disposed of all or a part of their tickets to British bet ting agents, preferring to take a sizeable profit rather than gamble on the outcome.
 The total amount subscribed to the Irish sweepstakes was about $16,000, 900, of which Americans contributed approximately 30 per cent, or $4,800,000, receiving in re- turn $2,167,317, or Q little more than 20 per cent of the prizes.
 The Irish hospitals beneficiaries of the lottery, will profit by about $6.000,000.
 When friends gathered around the home of Peter Dolan, a work CT in the city's dock department, to congratulate him as the "King Macnessor' whose ticket won $150, 1000 on Wychwood Abbot, they found that Dolan had stamped off to work "as usuap' and that he wouldn't be available until this evening.

 Did Regular Duty
 The 1 1 patrolmen to be advanced to-day had all done considerable regular duty, though officially only supernumeraries, before they were appointed last fall. They consti- tuted the last regular appoint ments made by the police board.
 More regulars are expected to be appointed in the near future by the board, the men to be advanced being supernumeraries who are now on regular duty. The advance of the II policemen at the meeting to-day comes as result of their completion of a year of regular duty.
 Advancement to Grade B means that each of the policemen will receive 25 cents day more sal- ary, and will be eligible next year for promotion to Grade A. Grade A pays another 25 cents a day more and is the highest rating for patrolmen.
 Ten Did Night Duty
 The Il patrolmen affected by the promotions in rank to-day are on night duty, with the exception of Patrolman John Leary, who is attached to the staff of the detec- tive bureau. They will be as- signed to day shifts in the order in which they were appointed.
 The advancements, when they be- come effective will leave the po- lice department without any Grade c patrolmen. This situation will continue until new appointments are made, since the promotions to- day completely exhaust the list of Grade c patrolmen.
