N. 0. FUTURES
OPEN FIRMER
Early Advances Bring Out
Realizing And Market
Sags Slightly
NEW ORLEANS, March 12.—(JP)
—The cotton market opened firmer
in response to better Liverpool
cables than due and on map indica
tions cf much rain in the belt. First
trades showed advances of 7 to 10
points and May soon sold up to
20.63, July 20.68 and October 20.35,
or 10 joints on all months above
yesterday's close.
The early advance brought out
realizing and some further liquida
tion and before offerings were ab
sorbed active positions showed losses
of 6 to 7 ponits from the highs. To
wards the end of the first hour,
however, the market was steadier.
Later the market weakened and <
developed liquidation probably in
duced by the near approach of the
government’s final census ginnings
report. May sold down to 20.41,
July 20.48. October 20.12, or 20 to 23
points down from the early highs
and 10 to 13 points under yesterday’s
close. At noon, the market was
steady and at the decline.
NEW YORK COTTON
NEW YORK, March 12.——
Cotton opened steady at an ad
vance of 3 to 12 points in response
to relatively firm cables and re
newal of Wall street and commis
sion house buying.
A private report estimating con
sumption of cotton in this country
for February at 594,000 bales
against 572.875 last year and no
doubt contributed to the advance,
which carried May up to 21.32 and
the new October contract to 20.51
or about 9 to 13 points above yes
terday's closing quotations in the
early trading.
Buying tapered off later in the
morning and prices sagged under
further realizing, which may have
been combined with some local sell
ing for a reaction. May eased off
to 21.20 and the new October con
tract to $20.36. The active months
ruled a point or two below yester
day's closing quotations at mid
day.

.Cross Examination
Of Gov. Johnston In
Oklahoma Opened
OKLAHOMA CITY, March 12.—
,J>t—Henry S. Johnston, suspended
:-ernor, who for three and one
ha, * days had testified in direct ex
amination in his impeachment trial,
today was cross-examined by the
prosecution as to his record in of
fice.
John Head, chairman of the l ouse
board of managers, conducted the
examination as to the circumstances
leading up to severance of political
relations between Johnston and Ed
M. Seamans of Oklahoma City, a
leader in Johnston’s campaign in
1926. Seamans wrote surety bonds
for road contractors.
“Do you not know,” said Head,
“that Semans had not written bonds
for years and that he wrote only
two bonds in your administration?”
asked Head.
Johntson had testified he caused
bonding business to be withdrawn
from Semans.
“If that is so I didn’t know it,”
said Johnston.
Head leveled a series of queries
designed apparently to reveal whe
ther Johnston was not in reality in
fluenced against Semans by Mrs. O.
O. Hammonds, the governor's con
fidential secretary. Johnston said
that relations apparently were
strained between Semans and Mrs.
Hammonds and that Mrs. Ham
monds spoke illy of him.

the chief rebel leaders, Generals
Cruz, Manzo and Aguirre as well
as that of Governor Fausto Topete
of Sonora. The property was valued
at several hundred thousand dol
lars.
The government denied that it
was using foreign aviators.
General Simon Aguirre, brother
of General Jesus Aguirre, defeated
Vera Cruz insurgent leader, was
captured and is being held for
court-martial. The movement in
Vera Cruz was reported definitely
crushed with the surrender of 1,000
rebels.
REBELS SEE QUICK
END TO REVOLUTION
MEXICO CITY. March 12.—(JP)—
Mexicans today foresaw quick sup
pression of the revolt against the
government, possibly even with no
more serious and sanguinary a
battle than has marked the rebel
lion’s course thus far.
While the main army of General
Calles moved northward from Ca
nitas, Zacatecas, toward Torreon,
Coahuila, the more optimistic be
lieved that when It faced the army
of General Jose Gonzalo Escobar
the rebel army ■would only postpone
disaster for General Escobar. Few
believed the limited rebel army—be
lieved at best to number only 6,000
men—would be able to withstand
onslaught of 18,000 men under Gen
eral Calles.
Rebels Surrender
Events of yesterday bolstered op
timism. Between Canitas and Du
rango City the Federal General Ro
drigo Quegada caught up with the
Rebel General Francisco Urbalejo.
A hundred and thirty five of his
followers surrendered leaving him
with only a few followers, with
whom he himself escaped. The sur
render occurred between the rail
road stations of San Felipe and Pas
ter! era.
At Sunta Lucrecia, Southern Vera
Cruz, General Alejandro Manje, re
ceived the voluntary unconditional
surrender of General Simon Aguirre,
brother of General Jesus M. Aguirre,
leader of the revolt in Vera Cruz.
Twelve lower ranking officers and
thirteen soldiers surrendered with
Aguirre. The prisoners were taken
to Agusto, Vera Cruz, to await court
martial. Troops continued closo
pursuit of General Jesus M. Aguirre,
said to have but two men with him!
Surrender of these officers and of
the only remaining large contingent
of rebel troops in Vera Cruz at
Juanita yesterday definitely removes
the south from the revolt.
Alamazan Leads Advance
In the north, however, aside from
the minor movement against Du
rango the federal activities had
three phases, one of them not at all
clear. There was of course the gen
eral offensive against Torreon by
General Calles, who may reach the
Coahuilan city either today or to
morrow. J
A government statement said
general Juan Andreu Almazan was
c?,I!nS M™terrey for an offensive
Saltillo. The wording of the state
ment indicated a body of rebel
troops was operating in that district.
Alamazan had been previously of
Coahuila but rather far removed
frem other rebel activity in the
state.
Official announcements said a
rebel advance guard of 400 or 500
of the army of General Roberto
Cruz had reached Quila, south of
Cuiliacan, Sirtloa, and was con
tinuing its advance toward Maze.t
lan. west coast seaport held by Gen
eral Kaime Carrillo.
CITY PROPERTY OF
REBELS CONFISCATED
MEXICO CITY, March 12.—r/FO_
The government announced todav
that it had confiscated Mexico City
property belonging to prominent
rebel leaders and would auction it
to help defray costs of suppressing
the revolution.
Among those named were Gov
ernor Fausto Topete. General Ro
berto Cruz and General Francisco
Manso, all of Sonora, and General
Jesus M. Aguirre of Vera Cruz.
The Cruz property was valued at
about 300.000 pesos (about $150,000).
General Manzo’s property included
two houses, as did Governor To
pete’s. General Aguirre had a house
and furniture. All bank accounts
were also confiscated.
The seizures were made under the
terms of a recent regulation pro
viding for confiscation of property
of thos guilty of sedition.
BELIEVE BATTLE
TO DECIDE REVOLT
JUAREZ, Chihuahua. Mexico.
March 12.—(&)—'The fate of the
Mexican revolution in the north to
day appeared hinged upon the out
come of an expected battle between
government forces and rebel troops
at Torreon.
The greatest concentration of re
volutionary troops since the start
of the revolution, with Torrean as
their base, was well under way, and
it was generally believed here that
leaders of the rebellion have plan
ned a battle of no little magnitude
with the federal -forces led by P.
Elias Calles, former president of
Mexico.
Troop trains loaded with revolu
tionists from Juarez arrived at
Torreon last night. A civilian militia
of 50 men was recruited here by the
rebels. Some 300 men from a half
dozen towns in this vicinity also
have enlisted acording to rebel lead
ers. Rebels also were recruiting
civilians in other towns in Chihua
hua. Sonora and Ba.ia California.
They were moving all of them to
Torreon as rapidly as posible.
Rebel leaders have been informed
that Calles’ army is about at Ca
marcbo. 199 kilometers from Torre
on. The country from Camarcho to
Torreon is rugged and for miles the
federal troops must cross an almost
waterles desert to reach their objec
tive. It was reported here that rev
olutionists have torn up railroad
tracks and destroyed railroad bridges

REVOLUTIONISTS ON
BORDER ARE SILENT
NOGALES, Ariz., March 12.—
Mexican revolutionary leaders along
the border were silent today as
they awaited the drawing up of
battle lines near Ton-eon and Ma
zatlan and the approach of the
crisis in their attempt to overthrow
[the Mexico City government.
A colorful army of 2,000 rebels,
| consisting largely of Yaqui and
Mayo Indians, was camped at Agua
Prieta, Sonora, today. They were
recruited from various points in
j Sonora and are being moved into
'Chihuahua. From there they are
to move south to join the armies
of General Juan Gonzalo Escobar,
commander in chief of the revolu
tionary forces in an attemnt to
stem the advance of the Mexican
federal forces under General P.
Elias Calles.
Revolutionary leaders said this
detachment would need at least
two days to effect a junction with
Escobar’s men and the rebel gen
eral needed the 2,000 fighters to!
face Calles.
In the west, attention was cen
tered upon the cautious advance of
rebels toward Mazatlan. Sinaloa,
where the loyal federal general
Jaime Carrillo is entrenched with
2,000 men. This advance was con
ducted by General Ramon F. Itur
be. About 5.000 rebels are said to
be converging upon Mazatlan.
Many Americans crossed the in
ternational line to see the revolut
ionists at Naco. Attention was
centered on the equipment of the
insurgents which consisted of late
model Enfield and Winchester ri
fles. Every soldier carried two or
three cartridge belts and a bayonet.
All were warmly dressed.
Newspapermen who visited the
camp were surprised to find a
large amount of American money
in circulation among the rebel sol
diers. A total of $10,000 was packed
in money bags near headquarters.

SAN BENITO, March 12.—
“Five dollars!” announced Judge
L. M. Valdetero, as evidence was
completed in the case of John
Lemon, negro, charged with be
ing over-zealous in his speed rec
ords.
The ebony-hued boy promptly
extracted five dollars, and of

“And costs,” concluded Judge
Valdetero, which amounted to
$12.60.
“Oh, judge, I ain’t got that
much money; can’t you let me
pay you next Monday?”
“Will you be here to pay that
fine next Monday?” the judge
asked.
“Oh yes, boss, I got stung that
way oncest. I failed to show up
to pay a $10 fine, and when I did
it was $25; and you know judge,
the wmst thing about it wuz I wuz

The black boy who was speed

Officer Sadler, has until Monday
to settle up with the judge.
Mexico brought twenty American
citizens to Nogales today from
Culiacan. Sinaloa, and surrounding
country which has been traversed
by the rebels in their march to the
south against Mazatlan.
The Americans, most of them
leaving Mexico until the revolt is
ended, confirmed news dispatches
from the south that rebel troops
have penetrated beyond Culiacan.
The federal garrisons, most of them
small, and the police forces of
many tons through which the
rebels marched, fled before the ad
vance, the travelers said.

The boys stated that the men had
asked them if they had any liquor
in the car, and they told them they
had none. The boys said the men
did not inform them they were of
ficers. and that after searching the
car, aided them in getting it out of
the ditch and offered some advice
on how to patch up the bullet holes.
“I thought they were officers aft
er they asked us if we had any
liquor,” Morris said,” but up to that
time I thought they were trying to
hold us up. I was badly scared.”
Robert Conditt is a student in the
San Benito senior high school, and
the other boys attend school at Los
Indios. The occasion for being on
the road that night was a party
W. J. Morris was giving for some
school friends at his home near Los
Indios. Each of the boys testified
they had no liquor and did not
drink liquor.
The state completed its testimony
at 11:30 and the defendant went on
the stand. He testified he had re
ceived a tip from a Mexican whom
he did not know that a car of liquor
would pass over that road that
night, and he was watching for the
car they pursued it.
The defendant added thta they
assisted the bovs in removing their
car from the ditch and apologized
for having stopped them.
Hearing of testimony was com
pleted shortly after 2 o’clock, and
the case is expected to go to the jury

j Every day young men and women come
to the Valley to work—lured by the
| great opportunities. They are going
j to make their home here. Of course,
[ their first problem, common to all, is a
I room—a pleasant room—a room that can
be called home.
Today, these newcomers will sit down
with a Herald, a pencil, and a phone,
j They will read the Rent Room ads and
j select the one, or several, that fit their
‘4
needs, viz: the right location at the price g
they can afford to pay. No waste of 5
time: no physical exertion or worry.
No “For Rent” sign could reach these
people—no sign ever reached 30,000 peo- §
pie a night. You’ll want to have your ad
where they look, and a phone call to m
phone No. 8 will put it there. Rent today. |j
