ering or rebuying by recent sellers,

20.46 for new October contracts was
checked by rather heavy realizing,
however, adn the market sagged off
a few points during the first half
hour.
Offerings were absorbed on reac
tions of 5 or 6 points from the
opening advance, with a consider
able volume of covering or rebuying
in evidence.
Business tapered off later and
the market was comparatively j
quiet late in the morning. Prices ]
held steady, however, with May
selling up from 21.21 to 21.29. The

Prices of Chicago
Grains Sag After
Irregular Opening
CHICAGO March 13. — UP) —
Wheat prices here underwent an
early setback today after an irreg
ular start. Selling increased chiefly
on account of the fact that the
Liverpool market made virtually no
response to yesterday's sharp up
turns in wheat prices here.
Opening at 5-8 decline to 1-2 ad
vance, Chicago wheat later declined
all around. Corn, oats and pro
visions also were easier with corn
starting unchanged to l-2c off and
subsequently holding near to initial
figures.

ACTION URGED
(Continued from Page One.)
adecisive battle, but the govern
ment at Mexico City was equally
optimistic that the rebellion had
failed and that the insurgents would
scatter northward before the fed
eral drive. •
Government successes were re
ported at widely scattered points.
Along the border, In the heart
of the rebel country of Sonora, a
serious defection of Yaqui and
Mayo Indian troops hit the insur
gents heavily.
General Olachea hitherto appar
ently supporting the rebels, staged
a coup yesterday and today was
strongly entrenched at Naco which
he toos over in the name of the
government.
Rebel reverses in the east and
west also were reported. Retreat
ing before the advance of General
Almazan, the insurgents evacuated
Saltillo after looting two banks of
about $60,000. The federals were
hard at work repairing serious rail
read damage caused by the with
drawing insurgents.
In the v/est, the insurgents who
had been driving on Mazatlan, at
first slowed down their advance,
land today were reported to have
withdrawn their mam forces north
of Culiacan and Quila.
President Portes Gil, confident
that the revolt has been crushed,
has stopped recruiting in the army
by voluntee reorganizations.
General Simon Aguirre, brother
of General Jesus Aguirre, defeated
rebel leader in Vera Cruz, was
court martialed and executed for
his part in the revolt.
Government circles said the rebel
leaders were sending their families
northward to cross into the United
States. They held this as a nin
d’cation of the collapse of the rebel
government.
REBELS FLEEING
FROM COAHUILA
MONTERREY, March 13.—(>P)—
Rebel troops fled precipitately from
southeastern Coahuila today with
three federal columns in close pur
suit.
The flight was in the direction of
Torreon where they were expected
to join with other forces of General
J. Ganzolo Escobar to oppose the
northward advance of the federal
generalissimo, Plutarco Elias Cal
les.
Pursuit was retarded considerably
by dynamited bridge sand damage
done to rail lines by the fleeing in
surgents.
The rebels evacuated Saltillo,
capital of Coahuila, early yesterday
just prior to the launching of an
attack upon their stronghold by the
federals under General Juan An
dreu Almazan, with auxiliary col
umns under Generals Eulogio Or
tiz and Denigno Serratos.
The rebels left the city in great
disorder .looting the bank of Sal
tillo of 160,000 pesos (about $50,
000.) Trucks and automobiles were
commandeered to aid their flight.
Control of the city was immedi
atel ytaken over by the civil police
and the chambers of commerce un
til the troops of General Almazan
could arrive.
OLACHEA’S TROOPS
AWAIT NACO ATTACK
NACO, Sonora, Mexico, March 13.
——Behind hastily constructed
barbed wire entanglements and en
trenchments, the loyal troops of
General Augustino Olachea, consist
ing mostly of Mayo and Yaqui In
dians, today awaited an expected
attack by rebel troops from two
sides.
Olachea and his colorful band,
previously looked upon as a part
of the revolutionary forces, staged
a coup yesterday after they had
been dispatched from rebel head
quarters by General Francisco
Manzo to join other revolutionaries
in the Torreon sector.
Arriving at Naco, 12 miles south
of the border, Olachea suddenly
proclaimed his loyalty to the gov
ernment and announced he planned
to participate in an attack on the
revolutionary stronghold at Nogales.
His action was a blow to the
revolutionary movement in the
north. Olachea admitted he had
professed sympathy with the rebels
and he had been awaiting a propi
tious moment to come out under
his true colors.
Revolutionaries announced their
troops would move against Naco
from Agua Prieta, Sonora, and that
another detachment would be sent
against Olachea from the west.
In spite of the reverse, Manzo
announced through Jose Gaxiola.
his official spokesman, that he had
made his plans and would 6tick by
them “at least for the present.”
Asked if Manzo would apply for in
ternment in the United States, Gax
iola declined to say.
American troops were stationed
at Naco. Ariz., to protect the wa
ter supply of Bisbee, Ariz.
FEDERALS CLOSE
IN ON TORREON
MEXICO CITY, March 13.—^—
Federal troops closed in today on
Torreon in a determined effort to
deliver a final and crushing blow
to the rebel movement centered
there.
The forces of General Calles
moved northward from Rio Grande'
and Camacho. Zacatecas, to attack
the city as other government
troops gave close pursuit to the
rebel left wing, which had evacu
ated Saltillo and was retiring to
Torreon.
Meanwhile government bulletins
related a story of continued gov
ernment successes. These included
evacuation of Saltillo by the rebels,
checking of the advance on Mazat
lan. and return to the government
of 1.600 Indian troops at Naco,
Sonora.
“Revolt Has Faileo”
Events led to a public statement
by President Portes Gil that the re
bellion had failed and that in a
short time complete order would
be restored everywhere. There
was firm conviction in official
quarters that the battle for pos
session of Torreon might never be
fought, and that the uprising for
all its auspicious beginning, might
be a nearly bloodless revolution.
General Simon Aguirre, brother
of General Jesus M. Aguirre, has
been executed at Santa Lucrecia.
Vera Cruz, by General Alenajdro
Manje. It was announced Aguirre
surrendered to the government un
conditionally after he had made an
effort to secure immunity. He
was court-martialed and shot.
Another government announce

in Sonora, had crossed the United
States frontier and deposited $120,
000 to his account in an American
bank, at Nogales, foreseeing the
time when he would have to live
in exile. Other rebel commanders
were said to have sent their fam
ilies north to the United States.
Saltillo Evacuated
Fall of Saltillo, capital of Coa
huila, took place yesterday prior
to attack by General Saturnino
Cedillo, who made every attempt
to cut off the rebels and prevent
their escape. An aviator who flew
over the retreating columns found
five trains of troops and munitions,
one of which he bombed. The sol
diers thus threatened abandoned
their train and hid in the brush.
The rebels held Saltillo tenacious
ly for a week, resisting all attack.
It has considerable importance as
a rail center and while it was held
by the rebels necessitated detour
ing of passenger trains from Mex
ico City to the United States by
w’ay of Tampico.
Mazatlan Sector Quiet
Another government announce
ment said that 1.600 rebel Yaqui
troops had surrendered and be
come supporters of the government
cause at Naco, Sonora. Naco was
regarded as an important point
which by reason of its location be
tween the Coahuilan sector ?nd the
wost coast would prevent, reinforc
ing of one army at the expense of
the other.
The government also reported
that the campaign on the west
coast was shaping up satisfactorily
through defections of rebels with
out even extensive federal troop
movements. The troops of Gen
eral Roberto Cruz, who is leading
the attack on Mazatlan were said
to have established themselves at |
Vuamuchil, Sinaloa. This is the
north of Culiacan and Quila, to
where they were reported previous
ly to have advanced. Aviators fly
ing over their camp reported no in
dications of another advance.
REBELS SAY 22,000
MEN AWA’T CALLES
JUAREZ, Chihuahua, M e x i co,
March 13.—(£*)—An army of 22,000
rebels has been massed at Torreon
for the expected battle with fed
eral troops commanded by General
P. Elias Calles, according to unof
ficial information received at rebel
headquarters here.
If reports as to the size of the
rebel contingent at Torreon are
true, observers predict one of the
greatest battles in the history of
revolutions in this turbulent coun
try. The army under Calles is re
ported to be one of the largest ever
sent out by the government to quell
rebellion.
Some 3,000 more rebels including
a band of 2,000 Yaqui Indians, were
reported on their way to the strat
egic city.
In the territory controlled by the
rebels religious laws were abolished
and a moratorium on debts, inter
ests on debts and bank deposits of
5,000 pesos or more, established by
a decree issued by General Juan
Gor.zalo Escobar, commander in
chief of the revolutionary fdrces.

Speaker Pro Tem Fred Minor
over ruled Morse’s contention and
when the Houston lawmaker U|
pealed, the house voted 95 to 12lfi
