4 " RODRIGUEZ’ PEACE | MISSION ATTACKED Conduct of Negotiations From ' United States Side Scored by Topete. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, D. €. MONDAY. MARCH 18, 1929. Ohio Beauty Envoy By the Associated Press. NOGALES, Sonora, Mexico, March | 18.—Fausto Topete, governor general, “strong man” of Sonora, struck figura- | tive sparks from the quiescent surface of the revolutionary situation, when for the first time in more than & Wweek he appeared publicly in Nogales. | Vague clouds of doubt, suspicion and | conjecture regarding the mission and | accomplishments of Abelardo Rodriguez, | fedcral government representative hold- :® conferences in a Nogales, Ariz., ho- tel, which have hung low over Sonor for five days like smoke over a smol- dering fire, Topete attempted to blow aside with one mighty breath. “Absolutamente, no." he said, ing a booted foot for empl asked if Rodrigurz activilies had re- acted toward any change of sentiment | in Sonora, or if the defection of Gen. Augustino’ Olachea, former rebel com- mander now holding Naco, Sonora, im- portant rail transfer point for rebel troops, had tended to weaken Gen.| Escobar’s position at To:reon. United States Taken to Task. Recognition of the presence of Rod- riguez on the border in the capacity of | & federal intermediary was apparent in all uterances of revolutionary lead- ers. There was, outwardly, at least, a! marshaling of forces to the | Baja Calilornia governor’s orators, in- cluding Topete himeslf. who harangued crowds of civilians in the public plaza Rodriguez verbally was lashed and the United States Government was laken to task in stinging Spanish phrases in connection with Rodriguez’ conduct | of negotiations from the United States | of the international line. “Plutarco Elias Calles has blindfolded President Hpover and Ambassador Mor- row of th2 United States,” Topete shouted down upon the sombreroed heads surrounding the plaza band stand and rostrum. In a private interview Topete went deeper into explanations of his asserted attitude toward negotiations leading to settlement of the revolution on any basis other than the “plan of Hermo- sillo.” “I have not entered the United States to take part in any conferences,” he sald. “I will not leave Mexico at any time for any purpose until the revolu- tion is settled. If it is lost, I will lose with it.” He placed special emphasis upon the personal pronoun and imme- diately afterward referred to the de- tection of Gen. Olachea and Col. Torres at Naco. Topete charged bitterly that Olacheha and Torres had been “pur- chesed.” Rodriguez Leaves by Auto. Rodriguez came first to Nogales, Ariz., just across the international line from here, last Wednesday. Mexican Consul Y. M. Vasquez and Gen. F. Manzo, Western division rebel Stinaloa, and after signing a statemet, | which he gave to feliow rebel leaders, assuring them that he had not consid- ered any representations looking toward | his own revolutionary activities. Ro- driguez still was registered at a Noga- les, Ariz., hotel, but was not there, He left inconspicuously by automobile, and ‘was reported at various border points yesterday. Much of the expressed animosity toward Rodriguez has appeared based upon the fact that he has conducted his apparent negotiations from Ameri- can soil. “He has Mexican soil in his own right,” said Topete, referring to Baja California, “Why does he not conduct his business from there? If he should like to enter Sonora to talk anything over, I would be glad to suggest a point at which he might do so.” Asked if, in the event that peace negotiations should be broached on the basis of elimination of former Presi- dent Calles from the government coun- cils he would be willing to enter upon them, Topete hedged. “That”” he said, “would depend upon the high com- mand. I am under orders of Gen. Jose Gonzalo Escobar.” Little active enmity toward Presi- dent Portes Gil has been expressed in Sonora, — ALLIGATORS SWARM SHIP WHEN CRATE IS OPENED IN RAID, (Continued From First Page.)

The main body of rebels attacked from the front, while 1,800 cavalrymen {and 600 infantrymen who had been sta- | tioned in the woods several miles away swept down and engaged federal troops i from the rear. Federals said that more than 200 men were killed. Revolutionists reported that they captured seven trains, 1,200 prisoners ! and “several” airplanes. Last night and | early today rebel soldiers began arriving | in Torreon with prisoners taken in the | engagement. Gen. Jose Gonzalo Esco- | bar, rebel commander-in-chief, ordered that they be disarmed, quartered in| temporary barracks and shown “every consideration possible.” No executions were reported. Killed in Air Attack. ‘The aerial attacks on Torreon were the first in a revolution in Mexico. In 1923 airplanes were used for ob-| servation purposes during Adolfo De La | Huerta revolt. L ‘Two Federal planes appeared over the city Saturday and Sunday, leaving in| their shell-torn wake a frightened civil- | ian population, four known dead and an unknown number of wounded.

No Alarm for Americans. As to the safety of American lives in the battle zones, State Department offi- cials are not expressing much concern. Secretary Kellogg said today that he would always be apprehensive of situa- tions (hat might arise out of the killing of foreigners, but that generally reporis from American consuls have not been alarming.

Carlos Terrazas with a | band of 20 men, and Lieut. Col. Roberto Fierro, aviator, who alighted near a| bridge near Peronal, north of Torreon, and burned it. Gen. Terrazas reported & minor encounter with rebels at Asun-| zola, who retreated north to Escalon, | between Jimenez and Torreon, while he | burned bridges and pulled up some rails | over & distance of about 10 miles, Government reports of fighting were | vague and in confijet with previous op- timistic bulletins to the effect that the | rebel retreat from Torreon had already | begun. They weré in conflict too with | news dispatches received here relating | rebel claims of victory east of their| stronghold. ~ The government announcements said | that a column of federal troops under Gen. Serrato attacked the rebel forces | at San Pedro de Las Colonias, east of Torreon, the rebels, apparently surprised at their sudden appearance, withdraw- ing from the city.

If modern youth is on the way to perdition, as the pessimists have it, modern parents are largely to blame, in the opinion of Dr. Eibert Russell f Duke University. Addressing the Woman's Missionary Council of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, at the closing business meeting of its annual conference, Dr. Russell said that the beatitude, “Blessed are (he pure in heart, for they shall God,” is particularly timely because our generation has witnessed a revolt against morality. “Part of this is the perpetual strug- gle of youth for freedom and progres We older folk tend continually to con- found mere convention with the nature of things and to put matters of custom nto the same class with the laws of nature. And if the youth of the pres- ent generation are tempted to discard fundamental laws of morality like the commandments against lying, stealing and adultery, along with outworn Viec- | torlan_fashions and Puritan customs, we older people have probably only ourselves to blame.” Bishep E. D. Mouzon of Charlotte, |N. C, preached before the conference yesterday in the Mount Vernon Place Methodist Church South, where the sessions are being held. “Making America Christian” was his subject. “America cannot be made Christian until every Methodist steward and every | church member loves the law and keeps it,” he said. Touching on conditions under prohibition as evidence of dis- respect for law, Bishop Mouzon assert ed the Christians have not emphasized enough that the man who patronizes the bootlegger is equally guilty with the person_who sells unlawful liquor.
