MEXICO CITY, August 16—(P)—
Except for a disturbance at the

Some churches in the capital were

saying of the rosaary was conducted
by women leaders. At the Episcopal
Christ. Cathedral and union church
services in charge of lay readers
were held without interference by
government officials., :
The trouble at the church of San
Jacinto arose from the fact that the
police received a report that the
Catholics of San Angel were plan
ning an armed uprising, while the
Catholics bad been informed that
members of the Mexican Catholies, or
Scaismatic church, which does not
recognize the pope, were planning to
seize the church.
