ON BAST aBOAOWAT
The Confederation of Workers of
Mexico (CTM), strong labor syndi-
cate which carries influence in vir-
tually every Mexican sphere, decided
tentatively to resist legal re-opening
of churches in Vera Crux State. Mili-
tant Catholics recently opened the
churches themselves. They had been
closed, tinder Mexican law, for a
decade.
The CTM, basically opposed to all
religious expression, strengthened
its potential weight in the conflict
with a decision to enter openly into
Mexican politics through a projected
alliance with agrarian groups under
the aegis of the National Revolu-
tionary (Governmeht) party.
San Francisco, Cilif, Feb. 19.—A
legal opinion Friday placed a taci-
turn, gray-haired mountain woman
within rea^ of a $1,000 reward for
surrendering her fugftive sons, to
face triple murder charges on which
they were convicted and sentenced
to hang.
"State Attorney Webb ruled the
mother, Mrs. Brite, it entitled to the
reward because she1 arranged the
surrender and turned her boys oyer
to District Attorney Pavia for a swift
dash to safekeeping while a Sher
iff's posse still w«» hunting the
brothers.
The brothers, "rix up a’.eursin’ the
law,” said Witness Baker at their
trial, and killed three men who en
to red their camp at Horse Creek
early on the morning of Aug. 30 to
them on an assault charge.
Public* Feeling Boil..
Victims of the boody battle in the
moonlight were Deputy Sheriff
Lange, Constable Clark and Capt.
Seaborn, a maritime pilot who had
complained the Brite brothers as-
saulted him during an argument the
night before.
I Baker told how the two officers,
Seaborn and himself came on the
sleeping brothers, who reached for
their guns when Lange stirred them
out of their blankets.
"They rix up a'cursin’ the law,’’
Baker repeated. “I run.”
The brothers fled to familiar hid-
ing places In the near-by mountains.
Public feeling, still warm over the
slaying of an officer in near-by
Dunsmulr ahd subsequent lynching
of the killer, boiled again.
The posse hunted fruitlessly. Davis
indicated the brothers might be
charged only with manslaughter if
they could establish their conten-
tion that they thought they were be-
ing attacked in camp by thugs. He
withdrew the statement in a flurry
of protests.
Mrs. Brite secretly approached
Davis and asked him if he would
guarantee the safety of her boys in
case they surrendered. Hu so prom-
wtt'd. She led him to a mountain-
side near the Brite home, turned her
fete toward the wooded slope and
shouted “Come!"
The brothers emerged, dropped
their weapons and surrendered.
Without firearms or handcuffs, Da
vis took the brothers 409* miles to
Folsom prison for safekeeping pend-
ing trial. A jury convidted th«m
quickly and prescribed the death
penalty.
They are in prison pending deci-
sion on an appeal.
Mont Brite has hinted she may
use the $1,000 to aid her boys if she

Monterrey, Mexico, Feb. 19. —
American tourists' having a knowl-
edge of Spanish may enjoy a new
amusement by taking the “Tour
of Names” tn Mexico.
The Mexican small shop keeper
has a genius for selecting unusual
names for his place of. business,
m%ny resulting from persons’ ex-
perience. Those who have time to
pause and talk with him are likely
to hear marvelous anecdotes.
The most familiar name, “Mi
Oflcina,” or “My Office,” usually ‘i«
given to saloons with tlS object
of supporting the veracity of hus-
band who explain delays in reach-
ing home as “detained at the of-
fice.” Another conscience-saver for
man required to tejl where he was
between noon and 2 p. m. is "Re-
union De Los Artiigos,’’ or "Get-to-
gether of Some Friends." v
Grocery stores, too, have been
named with imagination and wit in
Monterrey. Food shops are not
Double Barrel," "The Curbed Rail,”
"The Railway Star,” and "The Ge-
noese Lighthouse,” but names com-
mon to ail Mexican towna • “The
Snail,” (customers believe this re-
fers to deliveries) "The Worker,”
"The Fifteenth of May," and “The
Victor," are sprinkled among the
more unusual.
Meat shops also bear imaginative
captions. "The Bullfight’ is popu-
lar and “The Red Cross” may sug-
gest what the name impliea, hut
no more so than "The Piece of
Gristle,” “The Very Cheapest” is
shamed by “The Hygienic” In the
next block, but "America In Tri-
umph," “The New Queen of Bar-
gains,” and "The Old Diana*” indi-
cate that naming stores requires a
versatility comparable to christen-
ing American sleeping cars.
There was a possibility the date
for the next regular session would
be changed frdft late December to
early November, in which case the
extra session wduld bo necessary.
