RIOTING IN MEXICO; SIX DIE,PORT Blood Is Shed as Catholic Close Churches in Protest at Law. 10,000,000 ARE AFFECTED Weeping Men and Women Take Part in Final Rites.

Tke Situation Summarized Bu United Press The controversy between ; church and State in Mexico reached a climax when, on June 24, President E. Plutarch Calles signed a presidential degree providing penalties for the violation of religious laws of Mexico. The decree* is effective at midnight. \ The decree, which reforms the penal code, enforcing the constitution of 185", which in turn was reaffirmed by the constitution of 1917, provides, among other things, that: 1. Ministers of any creed must be Mexicans by birth. 2. All church property belongs to the State. 3. Religious orders, convents and monasteries will be dissolved. 4. All schools are to be secularized. Calles acted, he Indicated because he believed that the churches in Mexico exercised political Influence. The church emphatically denies the charge. The decree is not directed specifically against the Catholic church, but the Catholic church is most severely effected, as Mexico is preponderantly Catholic.

Bu United Press MEXICO CITY, July 31.—More than 10,000,000 Mexican Catholics today were barred from their shrines and churches and the civil strike resulting from the new world’s greatest struggle between church and state already had caused the serious Injury of upwards of thirty persons and lesser hurts to as many more. It was reported that six persons had been killed in overnight riots incidental to the retirement jf the priests from the churches and the closing of Holy Places to the masses. Crowds battled police and firemen in the streets in five riots last night. Two events during the week hastened the present situation. The first was the church's decision to abandon its churches in the face of the new laws; the second was the government's decision to place the C. R. O M. labor body In charge of at least part of the churches. Indians Feared Further trouble is expected in the interior where the religious fervor of the Indians is traditional. Reports Indicate that they are already deeply moved by the situation. Refuse to Leave Church The ten were wounded when worshippers refused to leave the church of San Rafael. Women on the roof hurled rocks on police and gendarmes, who attempted to disperse the crowds. Then the troops arrived and they fired on the Crowds. Firemen were also called out and turned streams of water on the rioters. Three thousand persons crowded Inside the basllllca at Guadeloupe (Turn lo Page 2) 2,500 DIE IN BATTLE Nationalist Troops I>efeat Manchurian War Lord, Report. Bu United Press LONDON.

Because of drought in Indiana, White River is the lowest H has been in years. James Eversole, 1131 Hoyt Ave., is shown standing with one t'ooat on each bank of the stream, below the Indianapolis Water Company dam at Broad Ripple.

Rain Falls in City'—Much Needed Over State — River Low. Rain, which descended upon the city early this morning and, with a heavier fall shortly after noon, brought Indianapolis some relief from a drought which has threatened crops all Over the State. 1 Whether the rain would be enough to afford material relief to farmers was no certain. Several sections of the State reported rainfall. “In some places more than an inch of rain is needed to help the crops to any great extent,’’ Meteorologist J. H. Arniington of the United States Weather Bureau said. He stated that the fall should continue this evening and Sunday. Corn is very dry, as are tomatoes, used for canning. Farmers in. the southwest part of the State have been particularly hard hit. So far this month, rainfall in Indianapolis has been 2.88 inches, while the normal for the period is 4.13. Rain during June also was about two Inches below normal, Armington stated. The city has been blessed with only one heavy rain this month. On July 3 the fall was 1.89 Inches. Rain fell during the next week, but since the thirteenth the only precipitation recorded was three-hundredths of an inch on the twenty-seventh. White River has felt and'ls below the four-foot mage at the W. Tenth St. bridge. Usually at this time of year the river is between four and five feet deep at this point. In places it is the lowest it has been in years. Below the Indianapolis Water Company dam, west Os Broad Ripple the .river has dwindled to the size of a creek, being only a few feet from bank to bank. Indianapolis has no reason to fear a water shortage because the water company is equipped to pump 160,000,000 gallons of water daily, said Frank C. Jordan, secretary and assistant treasurer. During past three days local water stations pumped an average from 45.000,000 to 48,000,000 gallons of water /daily.

NEW ARREST IN HALL CASE SEEN Man Seen on Night of Murder Sought. Bu United Press SOMERVILLE, N. J.. July 81.— A man seen on the Phillips farm the night that the Rev. Edward W. Hall and Mrs. Eleanor Mills were murdered was the central figure today In the State's reopened investigation of the Hall-Mills case. With Mrs. Frances Stevens Hall free under $15,000 bail as the woman alleged to have accomixinied the unidentified man, the next step in the inquiry was expected to be his arrest. There were rumors that Willie Stevens, eccentric half-brother of Hall, would be put under arrest. Stevens was at the Hall home today. He had been with relatives nearby since Mrs. Hall was arrested. Mrs. Hall remained at her home today. The absence of any new witnesses in the notorious case and the cleavage by the prosecution to the former lines fit inquiry has been interpreted by defense attorneys to indicate that the State will confine its attack to ad attempt to fix responsibility for the double crime on the deceased clergyman’s widow and perhaps her brother. It has been admitted by the prosecution that no haste will be made in pressing the presentment of evidence to the grand jury. TO ENTERTAIN 'SOLDIERS’ Jewish Residents of City Will Give Dance, Aug. 8.

INDIANAPOLIS, SATURDAY, JULY 31,1926

FIND POOL CUPBOARD WAS BARE i /• Police, in Drive, Get Only Three on Selling Charges. OTHERS ‘COVERED UP’ Appeared to Know Officers Were Coming. Baseball pool operaters had been driven to cover today. Reports of policemen, who late Friday visited *more than thirty places where sale of the gambling tickets was suspected indicated that the pool sellers knew the police were coming and hud “covered up.” *• Three days of advance agitation of the question in an afternoon newspaper was sufficient warning to the gamblers to hide or destroy the ticket books, some of the policemen assigned to the “clean-up” job said. While the police arrested thirtyseven men, only three were charged with pool selling. The reports to the chief showed that there- was considerable evidence indicating that pool selling has been widespread, but the officers making the rounds discovered such situ ations as these: Suspected poolrooms almost de serted. the customers nonchalantly loafing on the sidewalk in front. Torn pool tickets on floors. The usual crowds absent from the baseball tickers. Chief Johnson and Acting Inspector Lewis Johnson, said that as a result of so many policemen being de tailed to car guarding and other special duties during the street car strike petty violations of the law increased. The men sent on the cleanup mission were Instructed to watch for other violations than pool selling. The underworld also appeared to sense that this was coming for the reports showed that most of the known vice haunts were practically deserted Friday afternoon and eve ning. Sergeant O'Connor and squad arrested Quillan Jones, 91. Negro, 25 W. Pratt St., on pool-selling charge. O’Connbr said he saw' Jones throw a handful of tickets on the floor of the poolrooom of Lev Dean, 905 N. Illinois St. When Earl Munger. 43, of 1436 Astor St., said he bought pool ticket® from Dean, police charged Munger and Dean with pool selling. Tickets were found on the floor of the place, O'Connor said. Eleven others in the place were charged with vagrancy. The arrests were on minor gambling, visiting a gambling house, blind tiger and vagrancy charges. Chief Johnson said police would concentrate on checking vice. He said the great difficulty in stop ping baseball pool operation lies in the fact-that most of the tickets are sold by sub-agents employed in big downtown stores or In big manufacturing places. Police cannot Invade these places in the numbers and with the speed necessary to catch the agents in the act of selling without search warrants. The job of getting a search warrant for a reputable place of business is monumental, the chief indicated. Hence, the chief said, the police would be grateful If business men who have been complaining that baseball lotteries financially sap their employes would weed out the employes who are selling to their fellows and discharge them.
