COTTON SHOWS
NEW STRENGTH
Report of Boll Weevil Em
ergence Drives Bears
From Markets
NEW YORK. April 30—UP)— Cot
ton opened steady at an advance of
1 to 6 points in response to firmer
cables apd a reactionary sentiment
following yesterday’s declines. In
addition to covering some local and
commission house buying was re
ported which may have been pro
moted by private reports pointing
to a heavy emergence of boll weevil.
The market showed n^t advances
of 9 to 16 ponts by the' end of the
first half hour.
The market showed continued
steadiness later. Occasional spurts
or realizing or liquidation were ab
sorbed on slight setbacks, and prices
at midday were 20 to 23 points net
higher, with July selling at 18.60 and
December at 18.88.
NEW ORLEANS, April 30.—UP1—
The cotton market had a compara
tively firm opening despite the fact
that Liverpool was hardly as good
as expected. First trades showed
gains of 5 to 8 points, improvement
being attributed to fears of show
ers and reports that boll weevils
were emerging in large numbers in
south Georgia.
July soon traded up to 18.48. Oc
tober 18.51 and December 18.62, or
13 to 16 points above yesterday’s
close. At the end of the first
hour the market was steady and
at the top.
The market continued to improve
on buying based on the improved
technical position and on belief of
many traders that a recovery was
due after the recent considerable
decline. The advance was helped by !
the forecast for unsettled weather.
July advanced to 18.56, October
18.62 and December 18.71, or 21 to 27 >
points above yesterday’s close. Near
noon the market turned somewhat
easier losing 12 to 15 points of the
earlier gain.

CHICAGO. April 30.—UPi—Influ
enced by an unexpected upturn in
wheat quotations at Liverpool, the
wheat market here scored an early
advance today. A good deal of talk
was current that in view of recent

wheat later showed additional gain.
Corn, oats and provisions were easy.
With corn starting unchanged to

RAYMONDVILLE
FIREMEN MEET
Big Reduction In Insurance
Rate Follows Organiza
tion of Company
RAYMONDVILLE, April 30. ^At
a meeting of the Raymondviue
Volunteer Fire Department in the
district court room of the Willacy
county court house, considerable
business was attended to, and much
valuable information was brought
out. The meeting was presided
over by Fire Chief George Com
mins. and a good attendance was
present.
Fire Chief Commins stated that
the fire insurance key rate for
Raymondville had been reduced
from $1.02 to 56 cents, since the
organization of the fire depart
ment, thus saving the people of
Raymondville $6,600 per annum on
the ccst of their fire insurance.
This represents a sum almost equal
to the amount paid for the chemi
cal engine and pumper, Chief Com
mins stated.
Assistant Fire Chief Lon Woods
tendered his resignation, due to the
fact that he is moving from the
city, and Charles Taylor was elect
ed to this position. Delegates to,
the State Fire Convention to be
held at Galveston on June 11 were
selected. These consisted of
Charles Kenedy, Fred A. Akard,
and George W. McDougald. The
local association voted to attend
the street dance given at Weslaco
by the Volunteer Firemen there on
Wednesday night. May 1.
Memorial services will be held at
Harlingen Sunday, May 5, in honor
of P. A. Northcut, who is buried
there. Rev. L. A. Boone will con
duct the services. Northcott was
a member of the* Raymondville Vol
unteer Fire Department when he
met his death about a year ago in
an airplane crash at Harlingen.
The entire membership of the or
ganization here expects to attend
these services.
NEW SCHEDULE
FOR BUS LINE
M. P. to Run Every Hour on
Hour; Through Cars To
Corpus Christi
A new Valley-wide schedule will
be inaugurated by the Missouri
Pacific Transportation company
Wednesday morning as the result of
the railroad commission hearing re
cently held here. Buses between
Brownsville and Mission will de
part every hour on the hour from
6 a m. until 6 p. m. Buses also will
make the run at 7:30 p. m. and
9 p. m.
A new feature of the service is
through buses between Brownsville
and Corpus Christi. These through
buses will depart from Brownsville
at 7 a. m.. 9 a. m., 11 a. m. and
2 p. m., arriving at Corpus Christi
at 2:30 p. m . 4:30 p. m., 6:30 p. m..
and 9:30 p. m. respectively. Inbound
buses from Corpus Christi will ar
rive here at 3 p. m., 5 p. m., 7 p. m.
and 10:30 p. m.
The changes in the schedule are
said to be relatively slight and were
made for the purpose of more ef
f'cient operation of the line. With
the present arrangement, buses
are able to remain at terminal
points each night, whereas under
the old plan this was not possible.
The buses made the run between
here and Mission in three hours on
schedule time.
At the recent railroad commission
hearing, the Valley bus company
also sought permission to use reg
ular Missouri Pacific depots for
their bus line. Action on this point
is expected in the near future, local
officials say.

Geti. Topete and His
Aides Flee to L. S.
As Calles Advances
NOGALES, Ariz.. April 30.—(/P)—The Mexican revolution disintegrated
today in guerrilla warfare.
The west coast rebel army under Gen. Fausto Topete, former gover
nor of Sonora, was demoralized by the surrender cf Col. Miguel Guerrero
his staff and Capt. R. H. Polk, a
American leader of the rebel air
forces, to the United States.
Nogales. Sonora, headquarters
city of the revolutionaries, was
placed under martial law by Gen.
Francisco Borquez, who ordered
anyone found in the streets after
11 p. m., without a pass, arrested.
It was predicted Nogales would be
in federal hands in a few days.
The only rebel forces apparently
still giving active resistance were
those under Generals Marcelo Car
aveo and Ramon Yucupicio, facing
the federal army of Gen. Juan An
dreu Almazan advancing through
Pulpito Pass from Chihuahua. Gen.
J. Gonzalo Escobar, commander-in
chief of the insurgents, was report
ed to have joined Caraveo. planning
to conduct guerilla warfare in the
mountains of northeastern Sonora.
Hundreds of persons, Americans
and Mexicans alike, lined the inter
national border and the main street
leading through the twin cities of
Nogales, Sonora, and Arizona, wait
ing for a glimpse of the rebel lead
ers as they crossed into the United
States.
Gen. Topete’s crossing brought a
rear from the crowd and a rush
after his motor car. Others' who
crossed included Topete’s chief of
staff, Gen Hector Ignacio Almado;
Gen. Ramc:i F. Iturbe; Dr. Fran
cisco Arriola, chief surgeon cf the
rebel army; Topete’s brother. Col.
Ricardo Topete: Gen. Eduardo Gar
cia and two other American fliers,
Patrick Murphy and B. M. Cole.
Polk and Murphy were held by im
migration officers on charges of
t violating the American neutrality
act.
| - None of the Mexican rebel lead
ers here was in custody of Ameri
can officials so far as known, and
whether they would be arrested or
interned was not disclosed. To
pete and his brother went to a
house where their wives have been
living. They refused to see anyone
except their closest friends.

CARAVEO FLED
MEXICO CITY. April 30.—opl—
Press dispatches relating flight of
- - - IT- . ---
Rebel Generals Ramon Iturbe and
Fausto Topete across the frontier at
Nogales, Sonora, were accepted here
as confirming government prophe
cies since the start of the revolu
tion. ^
Pending official confirmafhPvno
government announcementnd M a s
made. Previously the goveMtWient
had indicated every attempt Would
be made to secure extradifWi of
the fugitive rebel leaders on pjunts
of '•looting” and “bank robbery.” if
necessary, but recently it has been
understood this would not be al
lowed by the United States.
Flight of Iturbe and Topete left
only Jose Escobar, Roberto Cruz and
Marcelo Caraveo among the more
important rebel leaders in Mexico,
it was believed here. It was ex
pected that unles they schose them
selves to flee shortly General Calles
and Almazan would close in on them
and effect their capture.
Messages from General Calles to
day said a bridge over the Yfequi
river was being repaired before the
infantry could move forward along
the west coast. Railroads were in
! good condition north of Guaymas
; for the advance toward Hcrmosillo,
capital of Sonora.
General Almazan reported his
vanguard had passed through Pul
pito canyon. Rebel Gen. Marcelo
Caraveo with 2,500 men, defending
the pass, fled during the night when
a flank movement threatened his
rear. Gen. Almazan's men will spread
out over northern Sonora in an ef
fort to prevent escape of remaining
rebels.
