Mexican revolutionary forces have now to face a firmer stand by the United States against any activities in their struggle against the federal troops holding Naco which might endanger lives and property on the American side of the border. The repeated disregard of warnings sent by the American authorities to Gen. Fausto Topete, leader of the rebel forces attacking Naco, has aroused the Washington Government to the point where additional forces have been dis~ patched to Naco, Ariz. ‘The United States is determined to stop rebel airplanes from dropping bombs on American soil and . troops from firing across the border into the American town. Brig. Gen. Frank S Cocheu, the American commander, has been given additional forces and will{ not hesitate in event decisive action is deemed necessary. U. S. Troops Reinforced. Eighteen American Army airplanes have been sent to Fort Huachuca, about 25 miles from Naco, to patrol the border. Gen. Cocheu, who has direct charge of the situation on that part of the border, has sent an additional company of the 25th Infantry from Fort Huachuca to reinforce the Infantry and Cavalry troops which "have been at Naco for some time. ‘The arrival at Juarez of Gen. Escobar, the principal rebel leader, with five troop trains of soldiers from Chihuahua City was taken by American officials today to indicate that the rebels are with- drawing from the lower part of the state of Chihuahua in the face of the advance of the federal troops after the federal victory at Reforma. It is believed here Gen. Escobar will not make a stand at Juarez, which is opposite El Paso, Tex., but will go west- ward to Sonora. Ugarte Issues Statement. Senor Gerzayn Ugarte, representa- tive of “the revolutionary party of Mex- ico,” in a statement last night, taking notice of reports about the finding of bombs on American railroad tracks at the border and the clash between an American Cavalry patrol and a group of Mexicans, said he belleved “that these incidents are not of such extreme proportions as at first considered.” Describing the incidents as “‘deplora- ble,” the rebel representative said it was not possible to place responsibili- tles for them and expressed a hope that they would not “bring about drastic measures of the United States Govern- ment against the Mexican nation.” Ugarte said he had received a tele- gram from Jose Gaxlola, representa- tive of the revolutionary movement at Nogales, Ariz,, which said Gaxiola and two others had visited Gen. Topete’s headquarters in front of Naco. “We visited the firing line alongside Gen. Topete,” it read in part, “whose forces are now about 300 yards from the fed- eral trenches. The casualties of the revolutionary forces are one dead and eight wounded.” REBELS TURN LOYAL, CAPTURING OJINAGA Insurgent Commander Killed and Former Comrades Routed. Bullets Fall in U. 8. & = By the Assoclated Press. PRESIDIO, Tex., April 8—Erstwhile Mexican rebels turning suddenly loyal to the government, today held Ojinaga, Mexico, across the border from here, after killing the insurgent commander and routing their former comrades who sought to uphold his command. The sudden assassination of Lieut. Col. Raul Cardenes, the rebel com- mander, signaled the uprising yester- day, which ended after & two-hour skir- mish with the counter-revolutionists in complete control of the town. Capt. Quintanilla, one of Cardenas’ staff of- ficers, was reported slain and two men, whose affiliations were not learned were wounded. Many bullets fell on the American side with no resultant damage or in- juries. Soon after the rifles started cracking around the customs house, where the engagement started, United States cavalrymen drew up on this side of the river, protecting Americans from possible harm by keeping them out of the danger zone. Meanwhile, Texans looked with a speculative eye today toward Del Rio, the United States neighbor to Villa Acuna, Mexico, on which a rebel cav- alry detachment was reported moving. Twice thus far the State’s extreme southern residents have been in rifie shot of Mexican battles in the current revolution. No si of military move- me;i around Villa Acuna had been no IMMIGRATION RULES TIGHTENED AT NOGALES All Americans Without Passports Are Barred by Mexican In- surgent Leaders. By the Associated Press. NOGALES, Ariz, April 8—Mexican revolutionary leaders tightened up im- migration rules here today, barring all Americans without passports. The move admitttedly was in retallation for an order by United States immigration au- thorities denying the rebel officers per- mission to enter this country. Hereto- fore Americans have been admitted Thing themaeives sa” eniucs ok s ves as citizens United States. The first pinch of the rebel order was felt by newspaper men covering the revolution at this point. Their usual credentials were refused last evening and“they were asked to present pass- ports. Described here as more pointed was the denial of entry to all United States immigration and border patrol inspec- tors. This was acknowledged, to be a direct reply to the American ban against rebel officers, * THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, DO IN WAKE OF CRASH WHICH TOOK 3 LIVES § Destroyer Childs in dry deck at Norfolk Navy Yard, Norfolk, Va., shoWing da mage to her bow, sustained in a collision with the four-masted schooner A.

S. PLANES IN READINESS. Ordered to Shoot Down Mexican Alr- eraft North of Border. NACO, Ariz, April 8 (#).— United States Army flyers with 18 fighting planes were at Fort Huachuca, Ariz., near here, today, under orders to patrol the border and shoot down any Mexi- can plane flying north of the interna- tional line. ‘The planes were sent here yesterday from Fort Crockett, Tex., following the continued dropping of bombs on Ari- zona sofl after the Mexicans had been warned repeatedly against endangering the lives of American citizens. Seven more officers and 44 men of the third attack group are on the way to reinforce the American fiyers, hav- ing left Fort Crockett. A sudden erid to the rebel airplane bombing attacks, which have harassed the loyal at Naco, Sonors, across the line from here, was expected to result. Gen. Lucas Gonzalez, com- mander of the Mexican garrison, was advised to keep his planes on the ground because the American flyers might not be able to distinguish them from rebel planes. Attack Renewfl if'Doudt. Gen. Fausto Topete, commander of the rebel forces, whose planes have dropped several bombs on the Ameri- can side in their attacks on the garri- son, announced his aviators would use only machine guns in the event they fly over the Sonora town again. Whether another attack would be staged by Topete’s planes soon remain- ed in doubt, however, as he declared last night he was awaiting orders from Gen. J. Gonzalo Escobar, revolutionary commander in chief, before taking fur- ther action. The end has come “to the rebel army’s air forces in Northern Chihua- hua, consisting of three planes. Two of the ships were interned at Fort Bliss, El Paso, Tex., and the third had not been reported sighted since it left for points unknown in the Unil St tates. It was said Gen. Jose Gonzalo Esco- bar's three pilots “went over the hill' yesterday. Antonlo Cardenas and Artuo Jiminez, mail plane pilots, flew two of the ships across the Rio Grande and landed at Fort Bliss. The third plane, flown away by an American pilot, passed over El Paso late yesterday, Nothing has been heard of it since. Little Damage In Attack. Saturday’s rebel attack on the loyal garrison *and the exciting events on both sides of the border which preceded it resulted in little damage and only two deaths as far as can be ascer- tained. Rebel losses were reported at two killed and 15 wounded. The federals, under Gen. Lucas Gonzalez, counted five of their number wounded. None was killed. Casualtiés on the American side, which experienced one bomb explosion, a sprinkle of misdirected or ricocheting bullets and an unintentional invasion of rebel cavalrymen who veered across| || the line during a charge, numbered three. Besides the American soldier, Pvt. John Fineze, colored, who was shot in the chst when a g;loueg :;ognmd States cav: en were firt the mx\c-;yn:m of the line eight miles east of here, two Mexican women on American territory were wounded by bullets. Topete Issues Statement. Topete yesterday issued a statement hinting that his rday retreat was not because of defeat before the fire of the - entrenched Naco federals, but rather because American Army officers made strong objections to the dropping of serial bombs and rifie bullets in Naco, Ariz. Topete said: f “I cannot fight the American Army, nor do I wish to damage American roperty or endanger American lives. f have taken every pre%n.unnn against these things, but we of the rebel cause cannot prevent a few bullets crossing the international line at Naco.” The origin of the 75 hand grenades found in sacks along the Southern Pa- cific Railroad line where American and ‘Mexican soldiers clashed Saturday re- Two dismantled and dilapidated air- planes arrived at Nogales, Sonora, last night on flat cars.

Whether they were intended for use in an attack on the train which brought 295 Mexican federal soldiers from El Paso, Tex., across American soil to Naco, Sonora, likewise was not decided.

It is believed that if the rebel forces fail to reach the pass before Gen. Calles’ troops the anticipated battle in that territory may be the graveyard of Mexico's latest rebellion. Two American cattle men forced the rebel garrison at Palomas, Chihuahua, last night to evacuate the city. The turnover of authority to the two Ameri- cans was reported to have been even more peaceful than had been the seizure of the federal garrison by Gen. Aguirre, a rebel general, a month ago. Col. Fernandez Gonzales, who was in charge of the Palomas post, surrendered his 60 men to Prank Williams of San Pedro, Chihuahua, and Gerald Thompson of Santa Rosa, N. Mex., who represented {the Mexican federals, rebel headquar- iers here announced. ‘Williams Is Large Rancher. How the two Americans came to be aligned with the federal forces was not learned. Willlams has a large ranch at San Pedro, Chihuahua, and Thompson is reported to be a cattle buyer. Wil- liams and Thompson were not accom- panied by government troops, and the surrender of Palomas was over almost before the town knew what had hap- pened. It is reported that a detach- ment of federal soldiers will be sent to take charge of the town. Gen. Escobar has apparently worked out a new rebel plan of military strat- egy, calling for the concentration of in- surgent forces in Sonora and the prob- able evacuation of the state of Chihua- hua to advancing government soldiers. The rebels, however, deny that Chihua- hua will be left to the federals without resistance. Before Gen. Escobar and his staff left here it was pointed out by members of his command that Gen. Marcelo Caraveo had been left at Chi- huahua City with about 4,000 troops to endeavor to stay, if possible, the federal advance northward, while Gen. Escobar Jjoined other rebel detachments in So- nora under the leadership of Gen. Fausto Topete. It is stated here that one of the first steps in this proposed new campaign will be a concentrated attack by the rebels on Naco, Sonora. According to- the revolutionary plan, Gens. Escobar and Topete expect to push south through Sonora, if Naco is taken, uniting their forces with those of Gen. Francisco Manzo. On Way to Villa Acuna. Another rebel move is reported under way which calls for an attack on Villa Acuna, across the border from Del Rio, Tex. A large rebel cavalry contingent, led by Gens. Antonio I. Villareal, Raul Madero and Cesareo Castro is reported on its way to Villa Acuna. If this city is taken the three generals are to re- turn to Chihuahua City, to rejoin Gen. Caraveo in a proposed concerted action against the government command. Concentration of rebel airplanes in Juarez continues at Puente Alto (High Bridge) field, 9 miles south of here. There are five rebel planes on the field and more are expected. At least three ed in faulty land- ngs on uneven flelds, are to be repair- ed, it is said, and operated from this Pulpeto Pass, where Escobar and ;:iuu may clmgn. }i‘s abount 175 miles rom Deming, N. Mex. It was at rebel headquarters here that several rallroad bridges had been destroyed on the Mexican North- western Rallroad and that this was de- laying the attempt of rebel leaders to move troops southward. ‘Unconfirmed reports were current that an attempt had been made to dynamite Gen. Escobar's train as it proceeded toward Juarez Saturday night. It also was reported that Federal Col. Jesus Jose Diaz had crossed the border in Juarez Saturday and that he had been executed. Gen. Escobar is said to have denfed any knowledge of an attempt to dynamite his train and Police Chief Edmundo Herrera stated today that Col. @he Foening Htar B il Rec tion THE ABOVE SIGN . ‘18 DISPLAYED . BY AUTHORIZED STAR BRANCH OFFICES MONDAY, Traffic Director Buys 3,500 Buttons to Help Curb Motorists’ Abuses. Traffic Director William H. Harland is planning a campaign against the prac- tice of blocking of crosswalks by mo- |torists. A rigid enforcement of rules designed to allow pedestrians to cross the streets at intersections in safety will | be undertaken, but not, for the present, by means of wholesale arrests. Traffic crossing officers will be instructed by Assistant Superintendent Ernest W. | Brown, in charge of the Traffic Bureau, to call to the attention of motorists vio- lating the rules and warn them to be more careful in the future. One of the features of the campaign will be the more extensive use of traffic buttons, also iown as “mushrooms” and “silent policemen,” such as are now placed at several safety zones, to mark out crosswalks, instead of painted lines. The lines are expensive to main- tain, constantly become obliterated and cannot be seen under snow or slush. He plans to use the buttons at most of the intersections served by traffic lights. Mr. Harland has bought 3,500 of the but- tons for use in his campaign. Rules for Vehicles. The regulations protecting crosswalks are: Article III, Section 4, paragraph b—On approaching a policed intersec- tion, the driver of any vehicle, whether intending to cross or turn to the right or left, shall not operate past the near side of the near crosswalk unless author- jzed by the police officer in charge or device. Article II, Section 2, paragraph d— At all crosswalks controlled by traffic officers or traffic devices, drivers of all vehicles making turns shall yield the nxr&z‘?t way to pedestrians on the cross- wal Must Slow Down. Article II, Section 2, paragraph e—A vehicle approaching a street intersec- tion shall slow down and be kzfi: under such control as to avoid colliding with pedestrians and vehicles. Although all the details of the cam- paign are not yet mapped out, it is known that the American Automobile Association will be asked to take an educational part among its members. ‘The co-operation of the Police Depart- ment will be sought and Mr. Harlan yrobfib will address members of the | force at roll calls on the pian. CANADIAN EDITO?DIES. ST. JOHN'S. Newfoundland, April 8 (P)—John Alexander Robinson, post- master general of New Foundland from 1916 to 1919, died yesterday. He was 67 years old. He was founder of the St. John's Daily News and was editor of the mper for a number of years. He also was a member of the Legis- lature and served as colonial secretary from 1897 to 1900. He is survived by his_widow. Diaz had not been executed. Little credence was piaced in the dynamiting and execution reports in most quarters, but a rebel firing squad was reported seen marching down one of the streets of Juarez early Sunday and Col. Diaz has not _been located. Gen. Escobar still refused to reveal when he would leave or what his desti- nation would be. He reiterated that he will return to Chihuahua City as soon as his “business is finished.” ~His staff officers said his “business” might take him to Sonora. CALLES IN MYSTERY MOVE. MEXICO CITY, April 8 (#).—Mys- terious maneuvers by Gen. Plutarco Elias Calles—almost startling in their suddenness—were belleved today to be almed at crushing the so-called reli- glous rebellion in South Central Mexico. Dispatches from Aguscalientes, in the heart of the country of the “Cristeros,” as the religlous insurgents are called, told of the arrival of the federal gen- eralissimo with three trainloads of picked soldiers. It was not known where the troops and their leader were to go, but movement farther south into the State of Jalisco was presumed to be the pugmoe c:( C.“”f er troops of Gen. Saturnino Cedil- lo, charged g‘y Gen. Calles tc wage a war of “extermination” against the religlous insurgents, were already in Jalisco and neighboring Guanajuato and there was a tendency here to take the appearance of Calles at Aguascali~ entes as evidence of his determination to rid the government of elements which have troubled it for two years, although until now usually held in check to pre- vent serious advances by local garri- sons in the affected states. Lacking official information regarding the maneuvers of Gen.
