Rebel Attitude Toward
Catholics Causes Trouble
By Associated Ptess
Laredo. Texas, July 18.—The Con
stitutionalists' alleged attitude toward
the Catholic church in Mexico has re
sulted in an unusual situation to-day
in Nuevo Laredo. Mexico, opposite
here. Weddings, baptisms and even
funerals for Catholics either must be
held without, the customary religious
services or else those services can be
obtained only after unusual difficulty.
The Catholics are awaiting the out
come of an appeal to General Car
ranza to change the situation.
Soon after the occupation of Nuevo
Laredo by the Constitutionalists under
Major Sato he ordered the occupation
of ' the Catholic church. The priest.
Father Eglesias. was deported to the
American side. The church since has
been used as a barracks and civilians
have been refused permission to enter.
Women of prominent families re
cently petitioned Colonel Murieta, Con
stitutionalist commander, to give the
church to the public for a primary
school. Murieta answered he would
not permit the building to be used for
any purpose other than as a barracks,
r.or will the priest be permitted to re
turn to Nuevo Laredo.
Catholic residents are without re
ligious services and the only clerical
services they can obtain are those of
priests from the American side of the
river.

IPS CANT CUB
United States Invitation to Swiss
For Warships at Panama De
clined For Good Reason
Special to The Telegraph
Washington, D. C., July 18. Swit
zerland was formally Invited by the
United States to send warships and
representatives to attend the opening
of the Panama Canal next Spring.
Switzerland has notified the United
States that she has no navy.
The White House, the State Depart
ment and Congress now are arguing
among themselves as to who was re
sponsible for the Swiss navy Joke. All
agree that Minister Stovail, United
States representative to Switzerland, is
not, because ho acted only as a vehicle
of communication between the State
Department and the Swiss Government.
The State Department, which sent in
structions to Minister Stovail, "passes
the buck" to the Navy Department,
which asked the State Department to
send Invitations to all nations. Mr.
Daniels says that he mentioned no na
| tlon when he made his request to Mr.
1 Bryan. Mr. Bryan said he gave in
structions which Included all nations,
and did not specify Switzerland. Mr.
Bryan said the White House wanted all
nations to participate; At the latter
place It was said the executive branches
of the Government were not respon
sible for the blunder as the instruc
tions of Congress, providing for the
naval demonstration in connection with
the canal opening celebration were fol
lowed.
Anyway, Switzerland was invited to
send a warship, Minlstar Stovail, upon
Instructions from the State Depart
ment, delivered the Invitation, and the
Navy Department, through Stovail and
the State Department, received Switz
erland's declination of the Invitation
and the reasons therefor.

Zapata Threatens to
Advance on Capital
By Associated Press
Washington, July 18.—Efforts aim
ed at restoration of peace In Mexico
were rebouhled to-day by administra
tion officials. They were in direct
communication with Oarranza, urging
him to proclaim general amnesty for
political offenders, and in touch with
Zapata, the southern rebel whose
forces frequently have appeared al
most at the gates of the capital. It
was hoped to bring into harmony with
the peace program which contem
plates the quiet transfer of power
from Francisco Carbajal, Huerta's
successor, to the Constutionalists. One
report stated the southern rebels had
demanded that Carbajal resign within
the next three days "to prevent an ad
vance on the capital."
Through John R. Silliman, Presi
dent Wilson's personal representative
at Carranza's headquarters, the Con
stitutionalist leader had been urged to
conduct his triumph in a temperate
manner to avoid excesses upon the
entry of his army into Mexico City, to
declare amnesty for the forces that
fought the northern armies and to
recognize the rights of church orders
and foreigners.

COURT WILL HEAR
CHURCH SQUABBLES
Factions of Casseur Israel Come
Before Judges Tuesday on
Injunction Writ
the church from
Beating; as church
men certain members of the other fac
tion, will be heard. The action was
instituted to-day when a bill in equity
w.-s filed by Meyer Katz, Jacob Fried
berg, Simon Cooper and Nathan Bren
ner against President Eli Goldstein,
Vice-president Wolf Freednmn, Sec
retary Abraham Dubln. Treasurer Me
yer Gross and Moses Katzman, Adolph
Katzman, Sam Katzman, Charles
Krauss, Sam Claster, Nathan Green,
Benjamin Abrams, Aaron Rubin and
Israel Lensky, asking that the officers
be restrained from holding an elec
tion to-morrow at which the disposi
tion of the church property may be
voted upon.
The petition sets forth that mem
bership in the church is obtainable
by proposal of some member and the
prospective member is referred to a
committee which looks into his stand
ing, character, etc. Five black balls
will bar a name from membership and
the black-balled one is prohibited from
trying again for six months.
Notwithstanding this the plaintiffs
contend that the officers admitted the
Katzmans, Krauss, Claster, Green,
Abrams, Rubin and Lensky without
this ceremony or giving the other
members a chance to vote. By taking
these members into the church, the
plaintiffs point out a majority vote
will be secured by the defendants and
so control the probable disposal of
the property. The filing of the suit
to-day prohibits the election to-mor

Portsmouth, Eng., July 18.—Sham
rock IV, Sir Thomas Lipton's chal
lenger for the America's cup, under
convoy of the steam yacht Erin, sailed
this afternoon for Falmouth, whence
she will start for the United States.
The challenger, painted pea green
with her stumpy rig, temporary high
rails for the protection of her crew and
lifeboats on her decks, presented by
no means the smart appearance she
displayed while racing. She looked
shipshape, however.
The yacht passed through the lines
of the fleet lying here and was given
a hearty send-off by the warships, ex
cursion steamers and yachts, which
I wished her good luck by sounding
their sirens, while many of the craft
hoisted Shamrock flags at their mast
heads.
A considerable amount of the chal
lenger's racing gear was taken on
board the Erin, while the rest was
sent to America on a liner.

RELIEF FROM HEAT
MAYBEONWAY
But Weather Man Isn't Going to
Promise Anything,—No
Siree!
Although relief from the excessive
heat may reach this city to-morrow,
the coming of cooler weather is not a
certainty.
Under the influence of a cool area
advancing from the West, according
to the weather bureau here, cooler
weather may descend upon the city by
to-morrow. But a lot of things may
happen to the cool spot before It
reaches here.
Although the mercury doesn't regis
ter so high, the excessive humidity In
the air to-day and yesterday made the
weather almost unendurable in some
sections of the city. To-day's tem
perature was greater than that of yes
terday, but a slight breeze helped
somewhat, though the sun's scorching
rays heat pitilessly down on tin roofs
and soft asphalt.
Although the heat has caused con
siderable suffering in the city, no
cases of prostration due to the heat
have been reported.
SUITS INSTITUTED
AGAINST THE DIRECTOR
rContinual from First Page]
$100,000,000 was alleged to have been
misused.
One of the two claims made asks
that the "individual defendants be
compelled to account for all sums of
money and shares of stock misapplied
and misappropriated and all profits
which they received by reason of un
lawful acts."
The second claim asked that the de
fendants be enjoined from further
management of the system.
The action specifically alleges that
the directors acting for the corporation
acquired transportation lines with roll
ing stock upon payment of sums of
money greatly in excess of the value of
the property. This refers to the acqui
sition of the Boston and Westchester
road, which figures in the Boston suit
and in the recent Interstate Commerce
Commission report.
Amount Xot Specified
The action further demands that
judgment be rendered against the di.
rectors for the amounts ascertained to
be due from their alleged unlawful
practices. These amounts, according
to the complaint, were obtained for.the
personal interest and profit of the di
rectors by conspiracy. Large blocks
of treasury stock and large sums ot
money, it is charged, had been trans
ferred to the directors. The amount
is not specified. The action, which was
served upon the treasurer of the New
Haven to-day, is returnable on Au
gust 13.
The directors named were members
of the boards during the years 1904
j to 1914, inclusive.
Massachusetts Likely
to Attack New Haven
After Suit Is Brought
By Associated Press
Washington, D. C.. July 18.—The
New Haven Railroad case assumed a
new aspect to-day when it became
known here that the State of Massa
chusetts may seek to Intervene after
the government's Sherman law suit to
dissolve that system is brought and ask
the courts to force the New Haven to
make a conditional sale of Its Boston
and Maine stock. Massachusetts now
has the right to buy the stock at any
time. In recent legislation it reserved
that right, but gave permission to the
New Haven to sell.
The New Haven board of directors
refused to accept that legislation and
now Massachusetts Is understood to be
fearful lest that right be endangered
in the proposed litigation. It Is feared
that If the government wins Its case
the court might merely order the sale
of the New Haven's Boston and Maine
stock without restrictions. If Massa
chusetts intervened it would be merely
for the purpose of preserving Its right
of purchase. Attorney General Mcßeyn
olds. It was believed here to-day, will
not object.
Plans for the government's anti
trust suit reached the stage to-day
where the brief in the New Haven case
was practically ready for filing.

Caucus to Get Balky
Democrats in Line
By Associated Press
Washington, D. C., July 18. The
fight over the confirmation of Thomas
D. Jones, of Chicago, President Wil
son's nominee for the Federal Reserve
Board, was In status quo to-day In the
Senate. Action by the Senate on the
nomination awaited the banking and
currency committee's minority report
favoring the confirmation of Mr. Jones.
Its presentation was being delayed
pending the arrival of Mr. Jones' an
swer to the majority's adverse report.
In the meantime the advisability of
a Democratic caucus on the Jones
case was being discussed by Senators,
and there no relaxation in the
efforts of Administration Senators to
bring into line their colleagues who
have declared opposition to confirma
tion. President Wilson's earnest de
sire for Mr. Jones' confirmation is
understood to be the principal reason
for the proposed caucus. The object
of the conference would be to fully dis
cuss the situation in the hope of per
suading Democratic Senators opposed
to confirmation to get back Into line.
Mr. Jones' reply was to-day awaited
with interest.

Directly In the path of the runaway
a woman was crossing the street at
Union and Emaus streets. She had a
small child in her arm. Detweiler,
coming out of his store in Union
street, saw the peril of the woman and
child. He dashed into the street and
sprang Into the wagon. Grasping the
lines, he guided the racing team
around the woman and chicked its
flight a few yards beyond. The woman
boarded a trolley car for Harrisburg
before the spectators could learn her
name.
As Detweller brought the panting
team hack into Union street he was
Kreeted by a cheer from the crowd
that had rushed out of the stores to
follow the runaway.
Steel Company May
Build Mill at Lebanon
Steelton people are interested in a
story from Lebanon this morning to
the effect that a new Iron .industry will
locate there.
A Lebanon dispatch says: "The
Pennsylvania Steel Company, which
operated the large twin lurnace plant
at North Lebanon, will probably es»
tablish a mould foundry in connec
tion with the place. Negotiations are
now under way with the Valley Mould
and Iron Company for an agreement
Umilar to that which exists between
the Valley Mould and Iron Company
and the Shenango Furnace Company.
Under this plan the Pennsylvania Steel
Company would sell a part of its pro
duct in a molten state to the Valley
company, and that tirm would then
cast moulds In a plant to be built here,
and would also find a market for the
product. That the plan will be cul
minute is assured by an authoritative
party in the management of the Penn
sylvania company. The new plant will
employ between 150 and 200 men.
"At the present time the Eastern
steel manufacturers secure most of
their moulds from Pittsburgh and that
region, and a plant here would save
a large amount of money in freight.
On the other hand, the Pennsylvania
does not need all Its pig Iron for Its
own use, and this plan will furnish a
new outlet for the product of the blast
furnaces."
The offices of the Pennsylva
nia Steel Company had nothing to do
with the deal, it was said in Steelton
this morning.
