MEXICO SAID TO HAVE FREEDOM OF WORSHIP Small Group Determined to Seize Foreigners’ Oil Lands, Is Charge. Durham, N. H., July 25 (A.P.).—The United States by its recent acts in Nicaragua has caused “a trusting and friendly people in a sister republic to view our actions with fear, distrust and hatred,” Thomas P. Maffatt, for- mer member of the mixed claims com- mission in Nicaragua, declared today. Speaking at the opening session of the Latin-American relations conference at the University of New Hampshire re- viewed relations with Nicaragua since 1909. The American people have “soiled their hands by dipping them in the polluted -waters of commercialized diplomacy,” he said. The recent battle between United States marines and Nicaraguans, he asserted, represented “the cost in human lives of an at- tempt to maintain our will on a weak nation and maintain in power a mi- nority government.” Dr. Adolphe de Castro, editor of the Week in Mexico, said that perfect free- dom of worship existed in Mexico and Isaac J. Cox, head of the history de- partment at Northwestern University, said that the Mexicans were “a people of much. promise, notwithstanding many obvious handicaps.” Taxes Were Imposed, He said that registration of ministers, with information as to church property, was considered necessary because in the case of the Protestants and Jews, who owned their property in fee simple, cer- tain taxes were imposed. “If it is property claimed by the Catholic Church,” he adds, “which has taken its holdings without paying for them and frequently without a shadow of a grant, such properties require an entirely different treatment. These properties—it has been declared by Benito Juarez in 1875—are properties of the nation. Catholic priests may per- form all the functions of their religion in the church of the government, but having no legal rights to these proper- ties, they can not alienate them with- out the consent of the government of Mexico.” Guy Stevens, of New York, director of the Association of Producers of Petroleum in Mexico, tonight pictured Mexico as a land ruled by the sovereign will of one man, or at most, a ‘“‘small group of individuals,” bent on confis- cating hundreds of millions of dollars worth of American property. Mr. Stevens discussed the problem of “un- derstanding the Mexican situation” in an address before the conference, Propaganda Flood in U, 8. ‘Although the facts of the Mexican Situation “are quite simple,” declared Mr. Stevens, the United States been flooded with pro-Mexican gov- ernment propaganda,” of which “in- accuracy or deliberate distortion is the Outstanding characteristic.” Quoting former Secretary of State Hughes to the effect that the Mexican government is seeking to confiscate the properties of Americans on a great scale, Mr. Stevens said “‘the very enorm- ity of the thing makes it incompre- hensible to one whose natural tendency is to judge governmental acts by American standards.” “If we are going to acquiesce to the confiscation of American owned prop- erties by the Mexican government,” he declared, “let us consent to it as a mat- ter of generosity and grace. Let us not permit the Mexican government to do t and believe it has succeeded in fool- ing us about the facts,” Declaring that the present govern- ment has brought Mexico on the verge of economic ruin, he said no possible good could come to the Mexican people through the confiscation of foreign- owned properties. Marines’ Activities Called Atrocious by Carter Glass Richmond, July 25 (A.P.).—“Atro- clous” was the word used by United States Senator Carter Glass today to characterize the activity of American Marines in Nicaragua. Not having “the cards” before him, the senator said that he did not care to criticise the administration, but from reports of the affair the Govern- ment’s policy in the Nicaraguan mud- dle deserved condemnation. He expressed the opinion that the avaricious business leaders of America would be glad to see President Coolidge given a third term. Warner Urges Flying Boats for Commerce Necessity of stimulating development of commercial aviation in this country relative to employment of fiying boats was emphasized yesterday by Acting Secretary of the Navy Warner in the hope that the United States might compete with countries of Europe. Recalling that construction of com- mercial flying boats had been virtually dormant here while progressing by “leaps and bounds in Europe,” he sug- gested that airplane manufacturers of the United States should gwaken to the possibilities of this craft in commerce. “has Cable Rates Reduced, The Postal-Telegraph Cable Co. has announced that, effective August 1, there will be a general reduction in the cable rates to South American points. The reduction will average about 16 ‘per cent, Rockville Marriage Licenses. A license has been issued at Rock- ville for the marriage of J.

Sterling, arrived here today from England. There was a great wel- coming crowd on the pier and a guard of honor paraded. The Sterling party was met by Mer- med O’Hegarty, representing President William T. Cosgrave, of the council, and Joseph Walsh, secretary of external affairs. They were accompanied by the American Consul General, Charles M. Hathaway, and Secretary Abbott, of the new legation. The party passed through the customs barrier and then all un- covered while the band played the “Star Spangled.

ELECTRIC HBASE DRAWS WALES IN OnIP'S GYM Can’t Throw Me, British Heir Explains, on Way-Across Atlantic to Canada. BALDWIN SMOKES CIGARS London, July 25 (A.P.).—The Prince of Wales, who is bound for Canada on the steamship Empress of Australia, vis- ited the ship’s gymnasium soon after the steamer left Southampton. Wales, mounting the electric horse, said: “This is what 1 shall enjoy most. It won't throw me.” Thoroughly enjoying the freedom from official duties, the Prince of Wales, his brother, Prince George; Premier and Mrs. Baldwin and the other members of his party, passed their first full day at sea under happy auspices. Wireless messages tell that the sea was calm, there was brilliant sunshine and the travelers mixed freely with other pas- engers in saloon and on deck. While crossing the channel, says the Daily Express correspondent in a dis- patch from Cherbourg, the Prince of ,.Wales went into the steerage of the liner and talked with emigrants on their way to Canada. He asked a num- ber of them for what places they were bound. “I’ve seen that man in the movies,” said one boy to his companions as the prince left. The prince gave instructions that he be treated the same as other passengers and dined in the saloon with the others. He recognized a table steward who had served him in a London restaurant and recalled the acquaintanceship. He accosted Chief Engineer Leare, who had showed him the engines on the Empress of France during a former trip, and said, “Don’t forget I like en- gines and want to see these later.” The prince also spoke to the “four- foot bellboy,” Frank Vincent, reputed to be the smallest bellboy in the At- lantic service, saying smilingly, “Are you the manager?” Frank appreciated the joke, and confided to Wales that he hoped to be captain some day.” “You are to be my messenger,” said the prinae, “we will be great friends be- fore long.” The passengers have commented that Premier Baldwin, who rarely is seen without a pipe, has smoked nothing but cigars thus far on the voyage. MRS. KINLEY TO STAY, IMMIGRATION RULING American Women Married to Foreigners Are Not to Be Excluded. (Associated Press.) No American-born woman who has technically lost her citizenship by rea- son of marriage to an alien is in real danger of exclusion from the United States under immigration laws, Assist- ant Secretary Husband of the Labor Department declared yesterday, in commenting on the case of Mrs. Peggy Hull Kinley, of Bennington, Kans. Mrs. Kinley, who married Capt. John C. Kinley, of the British army, said in New York Sunday that she feared exclusion when her visitor’s visa ex- pired August 15. “While the immigration law as it stands classified an American woman who marries a foreigner as an alien,” Mr. Husband said, “and thus necessi- tates the application.of immigration restrictions to her stays and depar- tures from this country, no American woman has as yet been deported from the United States on that ground, and, in my opinion, none ever will be. Mrs. Kinley has probably received one of the form notices to the effect that her visitor’s permit expires Augtst 15, but |if she does not choose to leave, then an extension of time will automatically be granted her.” Insures Beauty! “T surely believe any girl is giv- ing her skin an insurance policy against Time when she uses the velvety Black and White Cold Cream,” says’ attractive Miss Margie Wilson, 823 Hancock St., Brooklyn, N. Y. “I wouldn’t be without it a single day! For emer- gencies like sunburn, windburn and chapping it’s wonderfully soothing and healing, and _ “for every-day massage there’s nothing like it:for keeping the circulation stimulated, the flesh firm and rounded, amd the skin’s texture soft, wrinkle-free and youthfully lovely.” , You, too, can have “beauty thai laughs at the years’’—complexion always exquisite—by massaging *, . ‘regularly with this rich, nourishing |} cream, which you can | get in the generous 50c and 25c jars from over 80,000 dealers in city and country alike.

The body of the monarch was lowered into the cave today. Despite the fact that the body of the late sovereign was emaciated from his long illness and he had lost so much weight, it was noticed that the four pallbearers found the burden tco heavy. They staggered suddenly and, whether by his own instinct or because of prompting by Queen Marie, Prince Nicolas rushed forward and placed his shoulder under his father’s coffin. Scarcely had the prince done this when a gust of wind blew the cover from the king’s mantel onto the young prince’s head. Many Roumanians, who have a fatalistic superstition, immedi- ately interpreted the incident as an omen that some day Nicolas would wear his father’s crown. Although Ferdinand died a Catholic, his position as king made him ipso facto head of the National Church. Ecclesiastical customs, laws and prece- dence of the country required that the final burial service should be in the ritual of that church. The Orthodox Church is the National Church of Rou- mania, and the king was buried accord- ing to ‘ts rites. Gén. Averescu, former premier, and once bitterly opposed to Ionel Bratiano, the present premier, and unfriendly to- ward King Ferdinand, created a sensa- tion in parliament tonight by declaring fervent allegiance to Bratiano. The two men embraced ardently in the presence of 300 assembled senators. It was Averescu whom Bratiano succeeded in the premiership. TEL LETS, NS Bucharest, July 25 (A.P.).—King Fer- |. a 2 One of the most dramatic moments at the funeral of King Ferdinand took place when Queen Marie, following the coffin into the little church, caught sight of her own prepared grave imme- diately next to that of her late hus- band. She first gazed tremblingly into the deep pit dug in the floor of the church for Ferdinand’s body and then, with a noticeable shudder of recoil, glanced at her own tomb, which the church and state authorities prepared long ago to receive her as the consort of the king. It was the most tense moment of the whole ceremony. A profound quiet gloom enveloped the church and those who were privileged to witness the ceremonies of entombment felt a sense of eternity. Beside the king's grave 1s the tomb of Carmen Sylvia, Queen Eliz- abeth—for whom Marie has often open- ly expressed dislike. Ropes Forgotten at Burial. King Ferdinand’s funeral, although carried out with magnificent precision and order, was marred at its elose by an incident which temporarily at least, made it impossible for the authorities to place the king’s body in the sepul- cher, At the supreme moment of actual in- terment of the body, when a profound hush had fallen over the little church and when Queen Marie, in her grief and physical exhaustion, seemed about to totter upon her husband's grave, it was suddenly discovered by the church authorities that the undertakers had forgotten to provide the customary ropes with which to lower the coffin into the grave. It was an intensely dramatic moment and undoubtedly gave acute pain to the queen. The time was too short and the occasion too embarrassing, however, to send to the town for rope and the authorities decided to lower the coffin after the royal family had left. The oversight produced a painful im- pression, but mercifully shortened the queen’s ordeal at the graveside. Berlin, July 25 (A.P.).—The Rou- manian Legation has issued a denial of a report said to have been published abroad of an alleged attempt on the life of the Roumanian Premier Lionel Bratiano. The statement also denies reports of disturbances in Bucharest, adding that the situation in Roumania is entirely quiet. A Post Want Ad means a want less in the home or office.
