Madero headed & revolution that ushered into power the present so-called “revolu- tionary” government of the republic. Gen. Diaz was exiled to Paris, where he died of a broken heart, Since that time constant efforts have been made to return his bones to Mexico, but Mexi- can officialdom to date has refused the | uest. n%e last revolution in Mexico, which | was in full sway about a year ago, led o the exile of many generals who once exico that his downfall seems in- credible to mar Escobat Was Army Idol.

Escobar himself also seemed incredible to many, since for many years—until 1929—he was the 1dol of the Mexican army. Gen. Gustave Salinas, who has the distinction of being the first man to fly & war plane—in the revolution against Porfirio Diaz, before the World War— also holds the record for being exiled the most times from Mexico. Salinas is twice exiled, having supported two. unsuccessful revolts. He is still an aviator, and 1is reported to be planning an airplane factory somewhere in Texas. Gen. Juan Barragan, known as the “best dressed man in the Mexican army” during his heydey during the Carranza government, as far back as 1920, was last heard from in Cuba. Exiled life has not prevented his sartorial in- clinations, since he was reported to be as well dressed as ever. Gen. Roberto Cruz, who will be re- membered for his activities during the religious trouble in Mexico, during which he ordered the execution of four Catholics, including a priest, is reported somewhere along the United States- Mexico border. It is said he is plan- ning to go to South America. Gen. Cruz is one of the few rebel leaders Wwho managed to save his possessions FO when he fell. He is sald to have stored away a portion of his money in United States banks. Much of his property, however, including a valuable ranch, has been seized in connection with his 1929 revolution activities. Huefta Teaching Music. Former President Adolfo de 1a Huerta is now teaching music in Los Angeles. Exiled with him is Gen. Enrique Es- trada, former secretary of war and at one time in possession of as great a wer as perhaps any one in Mexico as ever held. Gen. Estrada is now an automobile mechanic in California. Gen. Ramon B. Amnaiz, also exiled with De. la Huerta, is in the theatrical business in Los Angeles, Jorge Prieto Laurens, famous orator, who is sometimes termed the Mexican Borah, is a life insurance agent in Los Angeles. He is a former member of the Chamber of Deputies in Mexico. Gen. Marcelino Murrieta is a jew- eler, as he was in his pre-revolution days in Mexico. He was once chief of customs at Ciudad Juarez, opposite El Paso, Tex. Col.
