VALUABLES OF
ALL CHURCHES
ARE SEALED UP
.Will Be Held By Mex-
ican Gov ernment
Until Present Con-
troversy is Settled
MEXICO CITY Aug. 9.—All
Catholic churches “annexes” and
all church valuables except actual
places of worship have been placed
under government seal throughout
Mexico until the present contro-
versy between the Mexican govern-
ment and the Roman Catholic epis-
copate is settled it was announced
to.’ay by the department of the in-
terior. *■'
The Mexican government began
taking over these places where
church possessions are stored as
soon as the government’s new re-
ligious regulations went into ef-
fect at midnight July 31 and the
Catholic priests ceased to perform
their offices in protest.
The men and women aArested sev-
eral days ago on a charge of plot-
ting against the life of President
Calles because of his unyielding at-
titude on the religious controversy
were dicharged.
Police announced that no evidence
justifying their being held for trial
had been found.
The Catholic episcopate issued a
statement declaring its respect for
Mexican laws and the constitution
except as the violate the positive
rights of the church. The state-
ment also expresses the hope that
a suggested congressional enact-
ment of new religious regulations
be done in a liberal spirit and'not
to offer another obstacle to a set-
tlement.
Revive Old Case
It was stated today that the
Mexico City district court will re-
vive a case pending since 1920 seek-
ing to have declared national prop-
eity two native Methodist churches
in Mexico City. It was not thought
that the court action would affect
the general situation since the gov-
ernment has claimed ownership for
more than fiO years of all church

TEXAS CROPS REPORTED GOOD
A decrease in the condition of cot-
ton as the result of insect depreda-
tions and heavy rains accompanied
by unseasonably cool weather is
shown in reports received by the
department of public relations of th»
Southland Life Insurance Company
for the monthly crop report.
By a queer freak the extreme
northern and extreme southern por-
tions of the state have been hardest
hit by the rains the central part ol
Texas being benefited to some extent
by the general excess of moisture.
The drive of insects including the
boll weevil the cotton flea and the
army worm has not been as serious
as generally reported although last
Texas appears to have both the cot-
ton flea Sind boll weevil to a serious
extent and the army worm has made
noticeable advances in the Rio
Grande Valley. In the latter section
warm weather has minimized de-
pression and brought cotton out so
that it could he picked before serious
damage is done.
In many localities where cotton
could actually be reported as doubt-
ful a little warm weather and espe-
cially warm nights would increase
prospects to an amazing extent and
dispei whatever gloom may have
arisen a3 a result of wet weather in
general it may be said that condi-
tions are to be classed as critical
but are yet far from alarming.
property which maintains the gov-
ernment merely lends to the con-
gregations.
Mexico City’s second Sunday un-
der the new religious regulations
passed quietly the city’s life pro-
ceeding quite as usual.
Good crowds attended the bull
fights and motion picture theatres
although not in as large numbers
as usual.
Protestants Affected
Official announcement that the
government intend* to enforce the
ldigious regulations upon Protest-
ant churches just art upon Catholic
churches' has had little outward ef-
fect. Mexico City’s two Protestant
chtttche? carried out the usual serv-
ices yesterday and no move was made
to interfere with them.
Goodly numbers of worshippers
entered the priestless Catholic
churches for prayers. Tranquility
prevailed everywhere at the com-
mencement of the second v cek of
the deadlock between the Catholic
church and the government. No dis-
oiders were reported from any pari
or the republic.
With regard to Protestant church-
es it is judged that the govern-
ment in announcing that it would en-
force the law as it applies to all
ihurches does not mean that the
government will immediately seine
Protestant church property to it:
own uses tut will reserve the light
to do so in the future umer con-
tention that all church property be-
longs to the notion.

New Estimate
• _ . . It
NEW YOKK. N. Y. Aug. 9.-1AV-
The cotton market was comparative-
ly quiet during today’s early trad-
ing the bulk of the small business
in evidence being attributed to fur-
ther evening up of accounts in
preparation for the government crop
report due at mid-day. The open-
ing was -Letidy ait a decline of 2
points to an advance of five points
and the active months showed net
gains of 3 to 4 points duting early
trading on covering which was prob-
ably inspired by relatively firm
Liverpool cables and complaints
that higher temperatures were caus-
ing the crop to shed in some parts
of the southwest. October sold up
to 17.32 and January to 1730 but
theie was enough realizing or liqui-
dation to supply buyers at these
figures apparently and prices were
3 or 4 prints off from the best at
the end of the first half hour.
Pre-bureau liquidation continued
later in the morning and except for
covering the maiket seemed to be
attracting very little support. Prices
worke I off to 17.18 for October and
17.10 for January contracts or
about 10 to 12 points net lower and
the market was within :J or 4 points
of these figuies when business was
suspended to receive the government
crop report. The latter placing the
condition at 69.8 and the indicated
crop at 15621000 was nearly 800000
bales above the average of the pri-
vate reports recently issued.
The reopening of the market after
the publication of the report wi.s
characterize ! by he.*vy general sell-
ing and a severe break in prices.
With 15 minutes of trading Oc-
tober contracts broke to 16.50 and
January to 16.70 making net de-
clines of about 75 to 80 points on
the genetai list. There was stop
celling on the break but some trade
buying developed at the lower lev-1
els and tr. ding was quieter around
2 o’clock with the market showing
rallies of some 10 or 15 points from
the lowest.
NEW ORLEANS La. Aug. 9. A’
—The cotton market opened easy
with Liverpool rabies lower than
due and early weather reports indi-
cating little rain in the belt over
Sunday. First trades showed losses
of 7 to 11 points and prices eased
off further ..fter the start to 17.11
for October. 17.01 for December and
17.00 for January. Prices soon ral-
lied on covering by belated shorts
in advance of the government report
due today recovering all the early
decline. Trading then became quiet.
The market eased off before pub-
the government <«■
until October traded at 17.06 and
December at 16.97. or 1C fB 17 points
under Saturday’s close the decline
being due to final pre-bureau liqui-
dation. After the government re-
port was issued making the con-
dition 69.8 and the indicated crop
15.621.000 bales prices broke sharp-
ly. October dipping to 16.40 and De-
cember to 16.29. or 66 to 67 points
below the pre-bureau levels and 83
to 84 points below Saturday’s close.
Later the market rallied sharply on
profit taking hut at mid-session
showed a tendency to decline.
