And if Ann does not leave much=

she has left the spirit of goodwill.
towards others. even though she
went without herself. There are
many untold stories of her charity to
those less fortunate than herself.
Many years ago Ann took' care
of several white children whose
board money would eke out her
meagre wages. She was like a mots:-
er to these children and a mother of
one little girl who boarded with
Ann took advantage of her charity.
She abandoned the child. leaving it
with Ann. This remarkable and lov-
ing negress never murmured to the
authorities who would have sent the
child to a home. but she kept the
child with her for years, fecding..
clothing. and educating her. and to-l
day. she has grown to be a fine
young woman.
. For several years recently Ann.
kept her two grandchildren with her
and they were a great help to the
old lady. Ann was very religious
and had the two children enrolled
in the Sunday school of Trinity‘
church. A year later. through her
guidance and home teachings they
were confirmed. It was a proud day
for Ann. when they were presented
to the bishop.

Since that time Lengyei has been
on the lookout for the stolen goods
and in particular for an acetylene
torch which was in the loot. Last
week he found one that exactly fill-
ed the description in a local black-
smith shop. With the torch as a
starting point he .traced back
through three succeseive owners the
original purchaser and determined
the identity of the thieves.
Last night Lengyei, with the aid
of the New Haven police. arrested
Robert Branin. of 647 Oak street.
New Haven. at his home for the
robbery and Branin admitted the
theft in first district court this
morning. Because of his confession
he was treated leniently and re-
leased by Judge Freeman Light on'
payment of a fine of 850 and costs.
amounting to 880.
Branin gave the police the full do-
tsils of the robbery and implicated
three other men. two of them local
residents whose names are beinl
withheld. The third is now in Flor-

the'men stole the materials in belief
that their employer intended evad-

MEXICO TAKES
CHURCHES WHEN
CLERGY QUIT S
MEXICO CITY, July :8 (AP)—
The Mexican government today is-
sued orders by which it refuses to
permit Catholic priests, when they
cease to function at midnight. to
turn over their churches to commit-
tees of Catholic laymen, appointed
by them for each church.
Instead the government has or-
dered the churches placed in chargs
of committees appointed by the
mayors of each town or city.
Direct orders from Secretary of
the Interior Albert Tjada say that
government agents will take charge
of the churches when abandoned
and that under no consideration will ‘
the government permit any church
to remain without responsible di<
rectors or guardians. They will be
closed until the government décidss
what action is to be taken in regard
to the future use of the buildints.
This means that thousands of
churches will revert to the govern- .
ment. that Catholics will reins!!!
without such' places of worship at
least until a change is made in the
determination of Catholics to con-
tinue the proposed economic boy-
cott. ' ‘
Practically all the churches on
worthless as school buildings. as it
would cost as much to remodel
them as to build new schools.
