HOSPITAL STARTS | - §Ta.000 CAMPAIGN New Casualty Building Near- ing Completion—Police Room Approved. The new Casualty Hospital at Massa- chusetts avenue and Eighth street northeast is nearing completion and ar- rangements are now being made to open it for public inspection within the next two or three weeks. When' the finich- ing touches have been put on the bu ing and the equipment has been i stalled, it will be one of the mo; modern institutlons of its kind in t} city. With the practical completion of the building the board of directors, of which Dr. Joseph D. Rogers is president, ha: opened a campaign to raise $75,000 by voluntary contributions to furnish the rooms, and as much more as possibl to go toward paying the debt on the structure. One of the special features of the new hospital is a private room for the use of members of the Police and Fire De- partments who are ill or injured. This has been reserved through the gener ity of Mrs. John Allen Dougherty memory of her late husband, Capt Dougherty of the United States Navy. Inspected by Pratt. | This policemen’s and firemen's room | was inspected and approved vestérday afternoon by Maj. Henry G. Pratt, | superintendent of police, and Chief En- | gineer George S. Watson of the Fire Department. In company with Mrs Dougherty and Dr. Rogers they also went over the building from top floor to basement and were enthusiastic in their praise of the arrangements to take care of patients. Maj. Pratt was so much pleased with what he saw that he wrote a check on the spot and handed it to Dr. Rogers to pay for the furnishing of another Toom. The total building cost, exclusive of furnishing, will be $20,000. This will include the remodeling of the old build- ing, adjoining the new hospital. To meet the cost of the new building and remodeling $100.000 is available from legacies and the proceeds of a former campaign. Need $75,000 at Once. ‘The other $100,000 has been borrowed. ‘The immediate concern of the board of directors is to raise $75.000 to defray the cost of furnishing the rooms, and the present campaign is being directed toward that end. It is hoped this amount and enough more to begin repayment of the debt may be obtained as a result of the present drive. Some contributions have already been received and others have been promised as soon as the building is completed. Only a very small part of the needed amount is thus far in sight, however, and much work must yet be done to raise the whole sum. ‘The board of directors will be assisted in the campaign by the board of lady managers, of which Mrs. M. J. Vaughan is president, and the building committee, headed by Gen. Anton Stephan, LIRS 1,700 BRITONS SEEK SEATS IN PARLIAMENT Only 615 Can Win in Election on May 30—Conservatives Have 584 Candidates. By the Associated Press. LONDON, May 2. e parties will have an increased number of candi- dates in the coming general elections over the last election in 1924. Then there were 1425. On May 30 the 615 seats will be contested by about 1,700 candidates. ‘The preliminary figures of candidates for the main parties are 584 Conserva- tives, an increase of 50; 565 Laborites, an increase of 56, and 475 Liberals, an increase of 136. Independents and Communists also will be more numerous than in 1924, when there were 43 Inde- pendents.

MEXICO CITY, May 2 (#).—Moises Verdugo, 45, bookkeeper, having read “Robinson Crusoe,” desires to live on a lonely island. He wrote the federal secret service, asking to be sent to Tres Marias, Mexico's Devil's Island. He teld the authorities he had committed no crime, but for the sake of adventure would share the lot of criminals. Will Rogers Says: BOSTON, Mass.—See in Washing- ton dispatches that the Democrats are planning to take the wet side and make a direct issue of prohibi- tion in 32. Why a man should dig his grave three years before he is buried is almost unexplainable. I spent three years in 48 States each season, kidding and joking on both sides of prohibition, and if you think this country is wet, you got a big city angle on g Nation that is com- posed of country folks.

SEVEN ARE INJURED WHEN HIT BY GARS Boy May Have Fractured| Skull—Two Others Are Seriously Hurt. Seven pedestrians were injured, three seriously, by automobiles last night. Of two children hit by automobiles while crossing tne streets, one of them is thought to have a fractured skull. ‘The latter, Edwin M. Warner, 10, of 526 Twelfth street northeast, is at Casualty Hospital. He was struck down by an automobile operated, police say, by Malvin D. Davis, colored, 12462 Duncan street northeast. Davis told police of the ninth precinct, where he was taken for questioning and later released, that the child ran sud- denly into Florence street near G northeast. The other child, Mildred Baker, 6, was slightly injured when hit in front of her home, 1115 Eleventh street, by an automobile driven by William M. ‘The injured child was treated by Dr. John Constas of 111 Massachusetts avenue for cuts about the head and knees, and later sent to her home. Russell Green, colored, 38, of 1130 New Hampshire avenue, is at Em- ergency Hospital, believed to have a fractured skull as the result of being struck as he was crossing New Hamp- shire avenue at Dupont Circle.

S. | By the Associated Press. MEXICO CITY, May 2.—The Mexi- | can public learned today for the flrsli | time of the final collapse of the revo- | | lutionary movement in Sonora and the | |imminent complete pacification of | Northern Mexico. | Newspapers were suspended and no | official bulletins issued yesterday, May | day, but bulletins posted at Chapulte- | pec today told of surrenders of rebel forces in the north, occupation of | Nogales and Agua Prieta and flight into the United States of the principal rebel | teaders. | The bulletins also carried i) ment of a battle at Azogues, on the | Sonora border, which lasted throughout | Monday, April 29, and was probably the | last encounter of note of the revolu- | | tion. Gen. Almazan’s vanguard, deploy | ing ahead of the main army, after pass- | | ing through Pulpito Canyon, ran into a | rebel ambush, arranged by the 1nsur-} | gent Gens. Caraveo, Yucupicio and Ja- | | cinto Previno. The ambush was not as complete as | had been planned, however, and the { federals were able to battle the rebels | throughout the day until Gen. Almazan arrived at nightfall with reinforce- ments. It was too late for him to at-| tack the rebels, who had intrenched themselves, and when dawn came he discovered tifey had withdrawn during the night. His report said that Cara- veo and Yucupicio had fled to the mountains. Trevino was believed here to have escaped into the United States. The government bulletin said that Gen. Jose Gonzalo Escobar, defeated | ! rebel generalissimo, had taken tempo- rary refuge in the mountains and would try to reach the United States through some isolated port of entry. ESCOBAR BELIEVED IN U. S. Large Numbers of Rebel Generals Take Refuge in Arizona. AGUA PRIETA, Sonora, Mexico, May 2 (#)—While all the border towns were in federal hands - today, reports persisted here that rebel forces under | | the Indian Gens. Marcelo Caraveo snd | Ramon Yucupicio had defeated federal | Gen. Juan Andreu Almazan in North- | eastern Sonora. The_whereabouts of Gen. Jose Gon- | zalo Escobar, commander-in-chief of | the revolutionary forces, was a mystery. | Escobar left Nogales last Sunday, turned | up here Tuesday night, but vanished a | | few hours later when several of his gen- erals crossed the border and plans were made for surrendering the town to fed- erals. Gen. Almazan had been reported | within 10 miles of here, but a messen- | ger dispatched yesterday to inform him | of the surrender of Agua Prieta flfled‘ to find him. Federals admitted that Gen. Almazan had had several sharp | and disastrous engagements with rebels | in the Pulpito pass district within the] last three days. He had been attempt- ing to cross the Sierra Madre Moun- | tains through this pass with forces from | Chihuahua. Whether Gen. Escobar had gone to join Gen. Caraveo could not be | learned. One report said he had crossed into the United States. Both Nogales and Agua Prieta were | held by the federal officers and rebel | troops which had switched their alle- | giance from the rebellion to the estab- | lished government. The surrender of Nogales to the federals was marked by | only one death, a revolutionist who was shot when he became too boisterous. His body was left lying in the street for | several hours as a warning to other soldiers.

Several rebel officers were al- lowed to leave Agua Prieta unmolested after it had been surrendered yester- day. Two revolutionary leaders, Gens. Manuel Aguirre and Francisco Leon, were prisoners at Nogales and faced trial before a military board. Gen. Lucas Gonzales, commanding officer at Nogales, said federal forces at Cajeme, 350 miles south of there, would soon arrive to take over the town. 2,000 PRISONERS TAKEN. Brilliant Federal Cavalry Pursuit Shat- ters Rebels in Sonora. NAVOJOA, Sonora, May 2 (#).—It! was a brilliant federal cavalry pursuit that shattered the rebel forces in Sonora. This became evident today as reports showed a prisoner list of 2,000, with groups of varying size surrender- ing along the 50-mile stretch between the Mayo and Yaqui Rivers, Resistance virtually was at an end, and few shots were fired yesterday. One of these encounters was with a small group escorting Cristofero M. Vasquez, a rebel leader. He exchanged shots with federal troopers, but man- aged to escape northward. It was beileved here, too, that the rebel Gen. Roberto Cruz and other leaders were fleeing toward Guaymas, instead of heading northeast in the direction of Sahuaripa. The federal cavalry has reached the north bank of the Yaqui River. They report that the tribe was friendly to the government and had consistently re- fused to be drawn into the rebellion. $7 TAKEN FROM RECTORY, | PASTOR TELLS POLICE Rev.

Be- fore such a conference would have| greater chances of success than that which failed in 1927, they feel, a new formula for measuring naval strength | quite different from the old tonnage basis must be agreed upon.

They were advanced in Washington dispatches which apparently were published wide- ly in Europe, but officials declare his pronouncement reflected the adminis- tration viewpoint. Reports from Geneva that “limita- tion” and not “reduction” of arma- ments would be the guiding principle of the conference there and inferences drawn from them that the American proposal for actual cutting down of naval forces has been rejected, mean- while, have brought the following an- nouncement from the State Depart- ment: Caused by Soviet Proposal. “With reference to press reports that the preparatory commission had scrapped the conception of reduction of armaments in favor of that of limita- tion only, Ambassador Gibson has re- port that the only basis for such allega- tion was that a Soviet amendment in- jecting quantitative considerations in the text of the draft convention under | the guise of a commitment for reduc: tion below levels prevailing on a fixed date was rejected unanimously on a | point of order. The whole commission made it clear that in rejecting the amendment on a point of order its posi- | tion regarding reduction was in no way prejudiced.” —_— Duke, 80, to Be Honored.
