B.—A battle is under way between federal forces and the De Ixt Huerta rebels at Jalapa, a dispatch said today. There was no further information and government sources were silent. It was presumed the advance guard of the federal forces, enroute to Vera Cruz, had come in contact with the insurrectionists sent out from Vera Cruz yesterday. Meantime President Obregon accepted the offer of General P. Elias Calles to suspend his campaign for the presidency in the coming elections and announced Calles probably would be put at the head of the government , forces operating against the rebels. I The position of the government still 1 appeared strong this afternoon and there seemed little likelihood the movement started by Adolfo Du La Huerta and General Sanchez would Spread to national proportions. s—s—s—WANT ADS EARN—$— $— * SALEM LADY WON AUTOMOBILE Mrs. C.

THINK SCHWARTZ IS IN TOLEDO, 0, Father and Friend of Missing Vera Cruz Man Make Search Tracing n clue given them by Toledo police, John J. Schwartz a,nd Amos Steffer left yesterday by automobile for the Overland automobile factory there In 'search of Orel Schwartz, missing son of the former. Word from the Overland factory last night was that the two Bluffton men spent the forenoon and afternoon going through the factory in search of Orel, but without result. At the noon liowr they stationed themselves at the gate and watched the laborers going to and from the factory in hope to identify the missing young man. No person by the name of Orel Stdtwarlz is on the Overland payroll, it was learned from the factory today, it is possible that Orel may have taken employment under an assum ed name. Just what the ‘'tip'' from the Toledo police was, friends of Mr. Schwartz were unable to say. It was no! known whether Orel was actually seen in Toledo by an acquaintance ot whether some one was seen there who tallied with the description given the police department. Even were Orel to have taken em plcyment in the Toledo factory, it would be a matter of many hours tr seek him out, as 13.000 men are on the pay roll of the factory at this time. The idea that Orel's body is in the Erie stone quarry was given *p by, Schwartz's relatives. They now thing he has voluntarily left th* county and is employed at some dis taut city. Pumping of the quarry hits relieved the elder Mr. Schwartz for i* now gives him more hope that Orel is alive and well. The trip of Schwartz and Steffen t<. Toledo was kept a Secret so that Y Ore] is in Toledo, he might not have knowledge of their coming before go there. — . — • Petroleum Man Re-elected By State Farm Federation ' W. 11.
