Calles Crushes Mexican Revolution; Rebel Generals Are Executed

LEADERS FACE FIRING SQUADS; SOLDIERS FLEE Gomez Reported Dead and Others Are Placed on Trial by Federals. GIVEN UP BY OWN MEN Serrano, Regarded as Chief Hope of Revolt, Taken by Friend. BY G. F. FINE United Pres* Staff Correspondent MEXICO CITY, Oct. 6.—Mexico’s abortive resolution was believed today to be practically at an end, though so far as was known here two of the leaders of the rebellion, Gen. Arnulfo Gomez and Gen. Hector Ignacio Almada, still were at large. Their capture seemed imminent. The Mexican ambassador at Washington and the Mexican consulate at New York reported last night they had private advices that Gomez had been captured, courtmartialed and executed, but both the embassy and the consulate specified that the advices were not official. The same report was circulated in several towns along the Mexican border. United Press dispatches from Mexico, however, contained no reference to the report and no confimation of it. Doomed to Failure The revolutionary movement leu by Gomez and Gen. Francisco Serrano early seemed foredoomed to failure. Orders for their arrest, it was learned today, were dispatched as early as last Saturday—a full twenty-four hours before the rebellion of two regiments and two battalions of the Mexico City garrison. Gomez and Serrano learned of the governmental orders and fled the city. Serrano went to Cuernavaca, sixty miles from the capital, where he thought he would be among friends. He was trapped before he could lift a finger. His arrest was made by Gen. Juan Dominguez, whom Serrano had regarded as one of his best friends. No details have been received of Serrano’s execution. A reporter for the newspaper Excelsior counted nine wounds in Serrano’s body. Five thousand people attended the funeral yesterday of Serrano and his thirteen followers, executed at the same time. Expect Soldiers to Desert As News of Serrano’s execution spreads through the interior, observers believe soldiers now with Gomez and Almeda would desert. Gomez never had anything like Sarrano’s support. Serrano had been the chief hope of the rebellion and with his death the rebellion itself was wrecked. The goverhment issued a bulletin last night in which it announced the capture of Gen. Alfredo Rudea Quinjano, former leader of the 26th Cavalry Regiment, and his immediate subordinate, Col. Florencio Anitua. The bulletin referred to Quinjano as “one of those chiefly responsible for Sunday’s futile military uprising.” He was first officer of the 26th Regiment of the Mexico City garrison which, with one other regiment and two battalions, escaped from the barracks. Held by Own Men Quinjano and Anitua, the bulletin said, were captured by their own men and turned over to General Escobar. The regiment formerly commanded by Quinjano and Anitua now forms a part of Escobar’s federal forces, having decided soon after their escape from the barracks to stay loyal to the government. They said they had been tricked by Quinjano into the uprising. Quinjano and Anitua were brought to Mexico City last night for court-martial. , - Their trial, with that or twelve soldiers captured with Quinjano, began .■ last night at the Santiago military prison and was still in session at an early hour today. Quinjano is expected to be executed and the court-martial proceedings merely were to complete legalization of the sentence already passed. The soldiers are expected to be exonerated. * Report Gomez Executed Bn United Press WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.— Mexican Ambassador T’llez last night announced receipt of a personal communication from Mexico City declaring that Gen. Arnulfo Gomez, surviving leader of the revolt, had been court-martialed and executed at Beroto, in the state of Vera Cruz, yesterday. Tellez said the message was from an unofficial but reliable source, and that he has not yet received confirmation of Gomez’ execution from his government. He made clear, however, that he considered the revolt ended. PROPOSE BOND ISSUE jnsull Company Asks Permission to Retire Old Securities. Indiana Electric Corporation, an Insull company, Wednesday petitioned the Public Service Commission for permission to issue $830,000 in bonds to retire that amount of an , issue now outstanding. Total bonds outstanding was given as $5,625,700. Petition for rehearing on the increasfed rate petition of Liberty Telephone Company was also filed.

Revolt Fire Stamped Out in Mexico

One candidate for the Mexican presidency has been killed and another, leading a rebel army in a revolt that broke out at Mexico City and in several states of the republic, is reported to have been executed. Gen. Francisco Serrano (lower left) regarded as a formidable candidate and declared to be the main lead in the revolt, was executed, while Gen. Arnulfo Gomez (upper right) also is unofficially to have met the same fate. The shaded portion of the map shows where revolts broke out, and the dots show where the uprising occurred near the capital.

BACKS WHISKY LAW Ban as Medicine Wrong; Obey Statute, Says Doctor. “Farmers and merchants and what not in the Legislature rule that physicians cannot prescribe whisky. That is wrong. But once they make the law, every physician is bound to obey them, regardless,” said Dr. William P. Best, speaking before the Y. M. C. A. Bible Investigation club Wednesday night. “I have not prescribed whisky in my twenty years of practice, and I never took a drink of whisky or beer in my life, but if a physician prescribed it for me, I would take it,” he said. On the moral issue he said, “A man can not be intemperate and be a Christian, because temperance, Christianity and morality go hand in hand.” ALL LUMBER IS SOLD No Longer Cut and Allowed to Remain in Forest. By United Press MANCHESTER, N. H., Oct. 6. No longer do the lumbermen of New Hampshire attack the forest in a haphazard way storing up a big supply of the material and waiting for it to be ordered. The method now employed throughout the State is to wait for the business and then cut the lumber. Figures given at a conference of the State Lumbermen’s Association here to prove the wisdom of this policy showed that during the past three months 86,109,000 feet of lumber had been sawed and of this amount 63,032,000 feet had been sold, leaving but a small amount on hand. During the preceding quarter 64,197,000 feet were sawed. MANY SEE CAL’S HOME % New Record Set By Tourists at Plymoth, Vt.

Nearly 3,000 cars were counted on Labor day and the preceding Sunday: According to Moore, this season’s visitors represented forty-seven States, Oregon being the only State not represented thus far.

They collected ninety-nine keys from parked automobiles within two hours, before police, driven on by frantic motorists, discovered them. Sixty of the keys were returned to their owners.

NOW FOR O’COATS

Bad for Moths; They’re Shorter

BY RADER WINGET It won’t be long now until the moths get a terrible going over from thrifty housewives and bachelors and start their yearly migration from the overcoat to the flannel trousers,. Early fashion notes in Indianapolis give the winged pests less territory on which

to work. “Overcoats will not be worn extremely long this winter,” .says a men’s fashion note seeping to Indianapolis from London and Fifth Ave. Most of us can’t wear our overcoats much longer now. They do get rather worn in four years. But the bright side of the iashion trend is that there will be no radical change in the general cut and fabric from 1926-27 models. Practically ail new coats will be three-quar-ter length box style with square shoulders and buttons fastening through. Perhaps a few slightly defined waistline styles will be seen in Indianapolis. Patch pockets, it is said, will be less popular than they were in the spring. The colors will tend toward rich browns, tweed and dark

Jf

blue. For formal wear, the tubular effect Chesterfield overcoat is suggested. Perhaps it could be double-breasted with six buttons or so, or single-breasted fly front style. “Always the fly-fronted type for formal wear,” is the word.

Those of us who have a raglan (praise be to the name of Lord Raglan, an English general of parts, who invented the rather loose top covering with large sleeves) find that they are again in style for country and informal town wear. These coats should have buttons through and notched lapels. To those of us who yearly attempt to establish a marathon wear record with our overcoats comes the heartening word that day coats will be of covert or some similar long-wear material. Chesterfields will be of heavy cloths in plain colors. Anyway, there won’t be any radical changes in overcoat styles this winter, with exception of the shortened length.

HER RABBIT FOOT FAILS Luck Token and Savings Are Taken By Burglars. STAMFORD, Conn., Oct. 6.—Mrs. Lucy Reid of Stamford did not believe in banks and today her profound faith in the protective powers of a rabbit’s foot has been destroyed. Returning last night she took her savings, amounting to $125, wrapped the bills in a rabbit’s foot and thrust the bundle beneath her pillow. When she awoke this morning both the money and the rabbit’s foot had disappeared. Mrs. Reid accused Margaret Chambers of New Rochells, who had been spending the night with her, and this caused a quarrel which resulted in the arrest of both women. ‘HAM~AN’ ’ STILL LEADS Savory Combination Continues as Favorite Breakfast.

JUNKER PLANE CREW IS SAFE German Fliers Forced Down Off Portugal by Fog. By United Press LISBON, Oct. 6.—The crew of j the Junkers seaplane D-1230 whicM was forced down at sea late Wednes M day was found today to be safe uninjured. The plane came down in a frg close to the beach at Santa Cruz and two fishing smacks towed It a mile out to sea to prevent the rocks from smashing the machine. A thick fog and motor trouble forced Fritz Loose, the pilot, to make the landing, ending an attempted flight from Schellingwoude, Holland, to Lisbond, which was to have been the first leg of f„n attempted flight to New York. The D-1230 narrowly escaped disaster before coming down on the water. For half an hour Loose piloted the big three-motored ship through a fog so dense that he could see neither land nor water. Only the cries of the assembled population and fishermen on the beach prevented him from bringing the seaplane down on land, which would have wrecked thqf ship. Besides Loose in the plane were Col. F. Starke, navigator; Karl Loewe and Rudolph Flitther, mechanics. MRS. EHRMANN HEADS LINCOLN SHRINE WORK Rockport Woman Appointed Historical Committee Chairman. Mrs. Bess V.
