Marjorie Berger. Miss Berger, an income tax coun sellor of Hollywood, was indicted by a federal grand jury here yes terday on 24 counts of alleged criminal aid in preparing fraudu lent income tax returns for many prominent film performers. Gov ernment officials declared she as sisted in defrauding the treasury out of more than a million dol lars in recent years. That the apprehension of the screen celebrities may not be whol ly unfounded was evidenced by the announcement of United States At torney W. S. McNabb that several idols of • the movie fans may be named in conspiracy indictments. One of the disclosures in the in dictment was that the gross 1927 income of Rod LaRoque, as ‘ap proved” by Miss Berger, was $121, 987. She made deductions totalling $43,870, leaving a net income of $77,216 upon which a tax of $10, 648 was paid. The government charged that LaRoque’s gross in come was $182,779, and that deduc tions should have totalled only $9, 667, leaving a net income of $173, 111, upon w'hich a tax of $34,291 should have been paid.

REBELS FLEEING FROM COAHUILA MONTERREY, March 13.—— 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 100.000 pesos (about $50, 000.) Trucks and automobiles were commandeered to aid their flight.

Olachea suddenly proclaimed his loyalty to the gov ernment and announced he planned to participate in an attack on the revolutionary stronghold at Nogales.

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. REBELS SAY 22,000 MEN AWAIT CALLES JUAREZ, Chihuahua, Mexico, March 13.—<JP)—An army of 22,000 rebels has been massed at Torreon for the expected battle with fed j 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 Gonzalo Escobar, commander in chief of the revolutionary forces.
