SMITH AND ULM
FORCED DOWN
Southern Cross Flyers Face
Natives Said To Be
Cannibalistic
SYDNEY, N. S. N„ April 2.—(JP)—
Search was being made today by
air and water in the Australian
brush for the missing plane South
ern Cross and four men. Absence
of word from Captain Charles
Kingsford-Smith, Charles T. Ulm
and their two companions, who
radioed Sunday they were coming
down in a rainstorm 100 miles east
of Wyndham, western Australia,
led to anxiety.
An Australian Airways plane
chartered by a newspaper arrived
at Wyndham at noon today on a
recnonoitering trip. A launch pro
ceeded up the Drysdale river with
petrol and stores.
While there was considerable dif
ference of opinion as to where to
look for the aviators, who were
enroute from Sydney to England,
there was a feeling they were
forced down near either Drysdale
Mission station or at the ' Port
George mission on the Prince Reg
ent river. The latter place is 130
miles east of Derby, western Aus
tralia.
In either event the country is
inhabited largely only by natives,
many of whom arc unfriendly and
reputedly cannibalistic, although
at Drysdale the influence of the
missions is said to have made them
more amicable toward white men.
Dr. Hallam Urges
Campaign To Free
City of Mad Dogs
To The Herald:
“Beware of dogs!”
When Paul gave this advice he
was speaking of two-legged logs.
No doubt his advice was good then
and may still be worth heeding.
Just now we are threatened with
a danger from the four-legged va
riety, threatening the very lives of
our citizens. In the last two days
five persons in our city have been
bitten by a dog suffering from
rabies. Of this there is no doubt as
the head was sent to Austin and it
was decided that it was a very bad
case. In the last two weeks. I am
credibly informed, more than 20
persons in the Valley have been
bitten.
Which are of the greater value,
our children or our dogs? We spend
thousands for the education of our
children, but every day as they
walk the streets on their way to
school, they are exposed to this ter
rible menace. It is time—high
time, that drastic action be taken.
The city is full of worthless dogs
—maney curs—not only disgusting
in appearance, but endangering the
lives of our citizens.
Any one owning a dog of any
value, one worth keeping about the
home, should be equally interested,
as the rabid dog endangers his pet.
He^ce we suggest, that the most
efficient remedy for this dangerous
state, is to place a tax of sufficient
amount on all dogs to destroy the
worthless and dangerous and pro
tect those worth keeping. This tax
should be at least $10 on all male
and $25 on all female dogs. Those
on which the tax is paid should be
furnished with a tag good for one
year, but in addition they should
not be permitted on the streets
without a muzzle. It has also t:..i
suggested that for immediate safe
ty these dogs should be required to
be immunized by a competent vet
erinarian.
The tax collected should be
placed in a special fund to be used
as needed for the treatment of
those who may be bitten by a rabid
dog or cat. We understand that
the expense of treatment is con
siderable and many persons are not
able to pay for it. Let the dogs,
that are of sufficient value to be
kept, pay for the treatment of this
awful malady.
Which do you think the most of,
your dogs or your children? Again,
not only beware cf dogs, but pro
tect yourselves from them.
S. K. HALLAM.

REBELS IN COMPLETE
ROUT AT MAZATLAN
MAZATLAN, Sinaloa, Mexico,
April 2.—(/Pi—The rebel west coast
army w'as in retreat northward
at Quila and Culiacan today after
a battle which cost advanced posi
tions, more than 100 dead, fifty
prisoners and many wounded.
Many of the rebels abandoned
horses, arms and supplies. The
encounter occurred along the
Camino Real—the old Royal high
way-relic of the Spanish occupa
tion.
The battle ended a rebel counter- j
offensive in which the troops of
; Generals Iturbe and Roberto Cruz
had been pushed forward as far as
Limon, 18 miles to the south of
La Cruz, described previously by j
aviators as a “rebels’ hornets'
nest.”
The rebels were pushed as far
as Piaxtla, on the Camino Real,
where many fled through the woods
toward La Cruz, their former
stronghold. General Talamantes
reported his federal losses as 20
dead and wounded.
Federal aviators reported that
La Cruz had been abandoned and
rebel cavalry was marching along
side the Southern Pacific tracks
' toward Quila.

SWEEPING VICTORY
CLAIMED BY ESCOBAR
JUAREZ. Chihuahua. Mexico.
Aoril 2.—i/Pi—A sweeping victory
in the battle of Jimenez, during
which the rebelling forces advanced
20 miles southward to corralitos,
was claimed in a bulletin received
by headquarters of the revolution
ists here.
Because Gen. Jose Gonzalo Esco
bar. revolutionary commander-in
chief is too busy firing a machine
gun to fiddle around with a type
writer, as one of his aides put it,
little else was known here of the
battle.
Escobar sent two bulletins to the
rebel headquarters here yesterday
| announcing he had repulsed two at
tacks by the federals and express
ing confidence the rebels could hold
Jimenez inedfinitely.
Report Troop Revolt
Officials of the revolution here
believed that if Escobar could hold
Jimenez throughout today, the fed
erals would have to retire, to reach
their base of supplies.
Word w-as received in Chihuahua
vesterdav that the federal garrison
left in Torreon when Gen. P. Elias
Calles forces advanced northward
in pursuit of the rebels, had re
volted. Lack of wire connections
with Torreon keot the details of
the revolt bottled up.
Information, purported to have
been intercepted from federal tele
graph wires to the effect that Co
cula, Ameca and Zacoalco. in the
state of Jalisco, had been occupied
by rebel troops, was revealed at
rebel headquarters.
REBELS CLAIM PART I
OF JIMENEZ
MEXICO CITY. April 2.__
General Plutarco Elias Calles. his
forces reformed in the night. hoDed
to accomplish today what he failed
to do in fourteen hours desnerate
fighting yesterday—defeat of the
rebel army at Jiminez. Southern
California.
Vastly outnumbered, outflanked,
and with retreat cut off. the forces
of the rebel general Jose Gonzalo
Escobar, at least held their ground
in furious battling from 1 a. m. to
5 p. m. yesterday. At the latter
hour federal attack was halted to ,
await resumption today.
The exact situation was not clear.
Federal reports continued optimis
tic. From them it seemed prob
able there had been some success
in the fighting against the rebel
right wring and that a section of

Jiminez was in their hands. But
in the unlooked for calling cff of
the federal attack and in the
acknowledged failure to take the
city after such a determined effort
some saw reason to believe there
may have been federal reverses.
Coast Rebels Routed
There was a different story from
the west coast however where in
the state of Sinaloa, where the only
other fighting of consequence is
taking place, federal troops dis
lodged the rebel army from fortifi
cations at Limon and forced full
retreat northward toward Quila
and Culiacan. More than 100
rebels were killed.
Lieutenant Colonel Gustavo
Leon, who flew across the rebel
lines reported he had seen bridges
burning on railway outlets from
Jiminez to Chihuahua City and to
Parral. This, probably the work of
federal raiders, was believed to
have cut the rebels off from their
base.
The rebel troops were found en
trenched outside Jiminez. Desul
tory firing began as early as 1 a.
m.. according to the report of Gen
eral Calles, who remained at his
headquarters at Bermejillo, 100
miles southeast of Jimine.z, leaving
field operations to General Juan
Ajdreu Almazan.
Assaults Fail
Federal artillery was soon
brought into action followed by in
fantry and cavalry assaults, which,
with one exception failed. The ex
ception was on the rebel right
flank which the federals drove into
the city where there was desper
ate street fighting.
Last night the federals. accord
ing to their own reports, held half
of the little town.
The citv suffered heavily from
shell fire, and it v/as said a wind
mill which had sheltered a rebel
machine gun nest, was destroyed.
Calles reDorted to Chapultepec
Castle at midnight that unless the
rebels chose to attack again there
would be no further fighting be
fore daybreak.
It was said General Escobar’s
army did not number over 5,000.
General Almazan has 10,000 troops,
supposedly better equipped, with
him. Genera! Francisco Urbalejo
who • lost Durango to General
Calles, is assisting General Esco
bar.
NACO FEDERALS FEAR
MORE AIR RAIDS
NACO. SONORA, Mexico, April 2.
—(£*>—The federal garrison here
kept on the alert in its,trenches to
day, awaiting the next move of the
rebel general Fausto Topete, whose
airplanes have bombed the town
four times in the last two days.
Rebel cavalry and infantry were
seen today at various points in front
of Naco. One troop train stood
three miles from the entrenched
town, but there was no firing.
Two rebel bombing attacks from
the air yesterday were without any
particular success. Eight bombs
were dropped, two of which failed
to explode. There ware no fatali
ties. One soldier was wounded and
a Mexican civilian was knocked
down.
In four rebel bombing visitations
during which 15 steel bombs have
been dropped upon the town, there
have been only two deaths, and not
more than three or four injuries.
Two federal captains were killed
during a raid Sunday.

The department also stated that
the county superintendent’s office
had not filed a financial report on
the various districts under its
supervision, and that $21,655 is be
ing withheld pending the filing of
a report for the past two years,
with the report for the third year
due August 31. The same condition
prevailed with reference to the
Tobasco district, the letter stated,
the department withholding $6,184
of the amount apportioned that
district. The total of school
money being withheld is $60,829.50.
“The board of trustees has been
derelict in its duty,” Kirgan said.
“I do not believe the Edinburg
district has so much money that
it can afford to refuse to accept
apportionment from the state.”
Attacks County Warrants
Kirgan exhibited a photostat
copy of a financial report of the
county issued in connection with
the sale of warrant sin 1925.
The report showed county war

street paving, $145,000: road and

Parade Covers County
The automobile parade, which
left Weslaco at 10:30 Monday
morning, covered the entire county.
The itinerary took the celebrants
to Mercedes, then north to Edcouch
and Elsa to Edinburg. Turning
south, the parade passed through
McAllen and on west to Mission,
returning to McAllen for a brief
mass meeting in the afternoon.
They then proceeded to Donna and
back to Pharr and to Edinburg for
the mass meeting in the evening.
Over 200 cars joind in the county
wide demonstration. !
According to attorneys for Gor- 1
don Griffin the decree of Judge
Calhoun is expected to be W the
form of a mandatory injtrffct.on
requiring the county commkiion
ers to recanvass the county^.ote,
including the Weslaco box. The
county judge will be required to
certify this to the secretary of
state. The decree will enjoin the
secretary of state from recanvass- !
ing the previous returns.
When the new election returns
are placed in the hands of the
secretary of state they will be
opened in the presence of the gov
ernor or attorney general and a
certificate of election issued upon
the face of the returns.
The attorneys have not determ

judgment will be handed down
sometime this week, and it is ex

its terms must be carried out.
Stomach Troubles
Stopped Right Now
There is a remedy that has brought
thousands of sufferers from stom
ach trouble back to health. That
remedy is Gordon’s, an internal an
tiseptic that goes right to the seat
of the trouble by stopping fermen
tation (souring of food). Fermen
tation is the greatest obstacle to
overcoming indigestion and kindred
ills.
One close of Gordon s will con
