YOUNG SLAYER HAS RELIGIOUS MOTIVE (Ontibued from page 1.) ciples of the constitution and the revolution a statement which is construed as signifying the presi dent will not attempt to succeed himself. President Callea' statement fol lows:" "The criminal has already, ful ly confessed his tragic action was motivated by religious fanticism. Furthermore, the authorities have gained much information compli cating directly clerical action in the crime. "But my government without being impressed for one moment for this new combre system which is being practiced against our in stitutions; will renew its energy, and now announces to the nation that' the liberal principles of the social revolutionary movement, which, popular conscience affirm ed 18 years agocan never be nullified." Looks Forward "It is a criminal illusion and stupid eelf-deceit to think that Mexico can or will ever return te the customs of our dark periods of the past. , v- "The revolution' will always advance despite stealthy attacks and must Win -definitely eventual ly lor the good of the Mexican family. "To this end I call upon all revolutionary groups to sustain still more firmly the banner of re vindication, and organize them selves Into a strong Indestructible union to realize noble, ideals-r abandoning all personalities and ether differences, and construct ing with faith, or ardof and the canatancy the structure or nation- al prosperity for the interest of all. "' rt 4. - & .-' ; Crime Deplored j "The unprecedented crime as a result of which General Obregon lost his life has covered the na tion with a justifiable shame. Every honest spirit everywhere reproves this 'crime with honest indignation. By it Mexico has lost the outstanding statesman of the present time and the most illus trious representative of the so cial movement, which, has cost so much suffering for the people. and out of which so many bene fits will be derived for national development. "My duty in repudiating this heinous crime Is also to state that the nation and my government is resolved to use every power at its command, to punish not only the material author of this unspeak able crime but to discover and punish also as examples, whoever they may be. those who are bound to be Intellectual directors of the deed which so profoundly wounds nationalinstitutlons and the credit of the republic." Claims Order Exists "In the midst of the moral commotion the crime has produc ed it Is pleasing to be able to an nounce that order has been main tained in all the republic and that there has been no disturbance. Xhls condition surely will con tinue, and is the most solemn proof of the unanimous eondem nation of this shameful outrage. "My government will continue Its previous policy seeking peace for the country and assuring its citizens the privilege of exercis ing their political rights t&e ex ercise of which rights have at times involved such serious d Un orders. It is in the final paragraph of this statement that the president declares himself in a manner thought here to be Indicative of his nlana for the future. Here he says: "Finally I want to announce that the government will continue as heretofore within constitution al paths and with the requisite calmness and energy. The Mexican constitution, as embodied at this time, forbids di rect succession of the president in two terms in office. Remains Sent to Sonora MEXICO CITY. July Is. (AP) The body of General Alvaro Ob regon, president-elect of Mexico. was tonight enroute to his home in Sonora. His death left the cap- itol in mourning and denouncing the assassin who fired bullets from an automatic pistol while his victim was partaking of a luncheon given in celebration of his being chosen for the office of chief executive. Just before the train pulled out of the station here this afternoon. thousands of followers of the Obregon policies raised their right hands and took a solemn oath to sustain his principles and to see that punishment is visited upon those responsible for his death. This was done at the Instance of a member of congress who, as the oath was given, turned to Presi dent Calles, standing nearby, and said: "We demand of you justice by the punishment of those who were guilty of murdering Obregon." Calles Participates President Calles and other lead ers of the republic walked behind the hearse with bared heads in the funeral procession from the na tional palace to the station. There they acted as pall bearers and car ried the coffin to the train. Vast throngs filled the two and a half miles of streets through which the cortege wound. It was marked by military escort and accompanied by the droning of airplanes flying over the route. The president boarded the fun eral train intending to travel to a station about 12 miles from the capital and then return to this city by automobile to prosecute the search for motives and pos sible backers of the assassin. Nu merous other prominent members of the government were on the train as well as General Obregon's son and sister, the only members of his immediate family who were in Mexico City. I. S. Officials Present The entire staff of the U. S. em bassy and other members of the diplomatic corps were at the sta tion to do honor to the slain Mex ican leader. ' .

PILES CORED tial succession was, as then, up permost In- the minds of national leaders,, -t-.- President Calles today was re garded as certain to remain at the helm of Mexico's ship -of state, yen though his doing so may be in technical contradiction of the revolutionary principle of no re election initiated by Juarez and contained in both the constitution of 1857 and that of 1917. The Mexican constitution in force now, that of 1917, even though it was revised to permit re-election of General Obregon following another's term as presi dent, does not make possible, in Its present form a direct success ion to the chair by Calles upon the expiration of his present term. Avoidance Possible Various means of making such succession possible, however, were being discussed in Mexico City to day; certain it Is that no one be lieves any other than General Cal les will take charge of govern mental affairs. These means included the ap pointment by congress of a pro visional president to assume of fice upon expiration of the Calles terra in December. A general elec tion might then be called and Calles offer himself for re-election without violating the clause In the constitution concerning direct suc cession. If this plan Is followed it is believed generally that Aaron Saenz, governor of Nuevo Leon, and former minister of foreign af fairs in the Callea regime will be named provisional president. His interim of power probably would be brief. Saenz, whose residence is in Monterey, was among the foremost of Obregon's supporters and is a brother-in-law of one of Calles' daughters. v Revision Likely Other plans, however, were re garded as possible. A constitu tional amendment to allow Gener al Calles to succeed himself in the present emergency may be asked. This, doubtless, would be subject to re-election at a new national poll, or, the constitutional amend ment which extends the presiden tial term to six years may be in terpreted as applying to President Calles who was elected to a four year term. This would retain him in power until 1930. Sharing the stage with grief at the death of Obregon, and specu lation as to the future was public Indignation at the assassin's at tack and the determination of au thorities to get at the very bpt tom of the shooting. Prisoner Still Alive Presumably the assassin, still known only as "Juan", was 4n a cell, although more or less sum mary execution before daybreak was regarded as certain for him last night. The secret of hU lengthened lease on life lay un doubtedly in the hope of officials that he would be persuaded to di vulge the names of possible con federates in mi crime. Last night he refused to talk or to answer even the interroga tions of President Calles. But to day the new police chief. General Antonio Rlos Zertuche, announced that the prisoner "had commenced to talk". Zertuche refused to broaden his statement and as the prisoner himself was held incom municado it was not known what form his "talk" had taken. This afternoon Emilio Casado, proprietor of the restaurant at San Angel where Obregon was killed, and 12 employees of that place were arrested by police and held for investigation.

There was little question but that most vigorous efforts to. bring about the punishment of those guilty -were being made. Various poltlcal and non-political organ zationa and persons prominent in Mexican public life have made re presentations to the government demanding prompt punisnnieui in the matter. The president's ac tion late last night in removing existing police officials and ap pointing new ones prominent in Obregon affairs was regarded as his answer to their demands. There was a time yesterday af ternoon and last night when al most anything might have happen ed. Supporters of Obregon in their anger at their chief's murder made gestures which might have re sulted in harm to those unfriend- ly to the dead general. Enemies of Obregon. sensing the situation, mi- mediately went into hiding and took other precautions as to their safety. The government itself aided in averting trouble with the use of the military to guard the mes and persons of many of these. Luis Morones, secretary of .at)ur. and an avowed opponent of.Ten Obregon. was among those thus guarded. The result was that com paratlve quiet was maintained ov er the entire nation. These precautions were being continued today. Government censorship of news dispatches still was in force. OBITUARY Cooper Henry F.
