REVOLT ENDS AS MEXICAN REBELS FLEE Generals Desert Troops and Escape in Battle With Federal Forces. MANY DEAD ON FIELD 500 Surrender Arms After Hopeless Conflict in Vera Cruz. BY G. E. FINE United Press Staff Correspondent MEXICO CITY, Oct. 11.—With the Mexican revolution broken eight days after it began, government troops today pursued fleeing rebel generals who deserted their troops in the battle that ended the revolt. A fugitive, with twenty men left from what a few days ago was a revolutionary army, Gen. Arnulfo Gomez was believed to be hiding in the Vera Cruz Mountains, President Calles said in an interview today. dalles said he thought Gomez was likely to remain hidden in the mountains rather than risk a dash to the coast and safety. Those remaining rebels not with Gomez, Calles said, were broken into small groups of ten and fifteen men, whom federals were pursuing. Other Bands Yield Information from Chapultepec today was that several additional bands of rebels had surrendered. “It no longer can be dignified by the name revolution,” said War Minister Amparo, adding that the revolt had been quashed completely. Pursuing Federal troops were under General Escobar, who commanded the government forces in the decisive battle at Avahualulco and Cozautlan, in Vera Cruz. In a six-hour fight at Avahualulco Sunday afternoon and evening, the rebels were routed completely, and fled to the hills, President Calles announced. Generals Take Flight Two hours after the fighting began, Gomez and the other rebels fled, it was declared, leaving their, troops behind to carry on a hopeless fight. More than 500 rebel troops surrendered to federal forces Monday at Cozautlan. Escouar reported heavy casualties among the'rebels. “It is worth mentioning,” he said in his report to President Calles, “that our troops were greatly pleased to punish their former com-panions-in-arms who forgot their duty.” The number of dead and wounded was not given. Fifty-two federals were wounded, including six officers. Revolt Shortest on Record The government’s announcement of the surrender of the rebels came at a time when it was believed that the subjugation of the rebels would be a long drawn out affair of the well-known guerilla kind. Instead, it came swiftly, making the revolt against Calles the shortest revolution in Mexican history. With only a handful of men, it was considered unlikely that Gomez would be able to make good his temporary escape. The Navy watched the coast to prevent his escape to the seas. SHY OF HANGING FUND; MAY SWING ON CREDIT Illinois Board Overlooks Need of Money for Execution. B "si?itiNcSlELD ,111., Oct. 10. Unless S6OO is raised by Sangamon County for the purpose of hanging James Hayes, convicted murderer, it will be impossible to carry out the sentence *)f the court Oct. 21. While Hayes has spent his time playing popular tunes on a phonograph in his cell, apparently, unconcerned over his fate, Sheriff James Kent has been occupied in finding a method of overcoming failure of the board of supervisors to provide funds for the hanging. It may be possible to carry out the sentence “on credit,” Kent said. Hayes was convicted of killing Mrs. Dollie Flatt, who objected to his attentions to her daughter. Appeals to the State Supreme Court have been denied. DIES DESPITE ‘PUMPING’ Football Teammates Fail to Save Injured Boy.

Complying with the wishes of the royal visitor, no plans have been made for Wednesday afternoon. Several local manufacturing plants will be visited, however, depending entirely on the time the party reaches here. The banquet will be held at 6 o’clock in the Columbia Clutf, seats for the lecture being reserved for those attending the dinner. Meredith Nicholson, author and man of letters, will preside.

DEBTOR SLASHES BILL COLLECTOR i 4 Leg Nearly Severed in BJow With Butcher Knife. Vivian Verne Taggart, 26, 1801% Montcalm St., a collector for the C. F. Adams Company, 424 S. Meridian St., was taken to Indiana t Christian Hospital today in a serious condition, his left leg nearly severed below the hip. Robery Clayburn, 44, of 229 Detroit St., held on an assault and battery with intent to kill charge, admitted cutting Taggart with a butcher knife, but said he did it in self-defense when Taggart attempted to force his way into his home to take a $5 blanket bought from the Adams’ store. According to Clayburn, Taggart came to his house and demanded the balance due on the blanket, $2, instead of the usual weekly payment of 50 cents because Clayburn had moved without notifying the company. When Taggart attempted to-force his way in to seize the blanket he resisted and Taggart knocked him down, Clayburn said. In the struggle on the floor he picked up a butcher knife and cut at the collector, but did not intend to wound him seriously, Clayburn said. Taggart walked to a Oriental and Washington St. doctor’s office, and was rushed to the hospital. If the artery of his leg has been severed it will be necessary to amputate the limb, hospital attaches said.

Bu United Press WINDSOR, Ont., Oct. 11.—Russell Scott, financier and alleged murderer, came back to his boyhood home today in a rough pine box on which was a bedraggled wreath of ferns.

Thomas Scott, the father, and Catherine Scott, the wife, arrived ten minutes after the casket had been removed. Funeral services will be held/ at 4 p. m. today at an undertaking parlor, followed by burial in the Windsor Grove cemetery. The services will be private.

BAIL BAN STIRS WIDOW’S FURY Woman Accused of Killing Mate Storms in Cell. Bu United Press MAYS LANDING, N. J., Oct. 11. —Knowledge that she and her neighbor, Willis Beach, must remain in their cells until they appear for trial on Nov. 28, todt y evoked an angry outburst from Mrs. Margaret Lilliendahl, widow of the slain Dr. William Lilliendahl. Mrs. Lilliendahl was smiling yesterday as she came before Supreme Court Justice Campbell and with Beach pleaded not guilty to the joint indictment charging them with murder. Even when the court refused to permit their release in bail, she did not lose control. But, back in her cell and facing more than six weeks’ imprisonment, she gave way. “It is a damnable outrage that the authorities are following the easier course and trying to fasten guilt on two innocent persons,” she said. “The result of this injustice is that Mr. Beach and I and our friends are forced to spend our money and we are losing our liberty while fighting for our lives. Instead of trying to break down my story, the State should try to find the two Negroes. As it is, I must employ" detectives to find the slayers while I am in jail.” Beach also was obviously upset at 'the refusal to permit his release under bond.

HORSE THIEF SLEUTHS WILL CHEERMAYOR Hundreds Will Attend Mass Meeting, but Some of ’Em Hold Aloof. i RADIO TO CARRY TALKS City Department Heads Will Bring Subordinates to Mass Session. The horse thief detectives will be out in force to root for Mayor John L. Duvall tonight—that is, some hundreds of them will. That part of them belonging to the Marion County Council of Horse Thief Detective Associations, bossed by Oren Davis, as president, will not be out. Furthermore, Davis said, they will have nothing whatever to do with the meeting which Mayor Duvall arranged at Tomlinson Hall to give himself opportunity to defend his administration against the numerous charges it faces. Others to Be There But those horsethief chasers who belong to the Royal Oak, Blaine, and nine dther companies, described by Davis as “independent,” will be active in’ the mayor’s behalf. Davis’s statement discloses for the first time that there are two kinds of horsethief detectives in the county. More than 350 posters, on blue print paper, were circulated to advertise the meeting when “Mayor Duvall and other prominent speakers will address you on the truths of jthe past and present city administrations relative to corruption.” It was not known whether the blue prints were made by city employes. One official said the original was made at city hall and the prints elsewhere. Fadio to Carry Address If all this doesn’t get a crowd out, the mayor still may have an audience. Arrangements were made to broadcast the meeting over WKBF. Word was passed to city department heads that they and their subordinates were expected at the meeting and that the officials would be seated on the stage. Some connected the meeting with the handbills distributed several days ago charging the political investigation was instigated by religious hatred, announcing a “mass meeting soon.” B. F. Payton, city plan commission investigator, announced Ira M. Holmes, attorney and election board member, will preside. Don Roberts, assistant city attorney, and John Payton, city engineer’s aid and Marion County First Voters League president, also will speak. Chamber of Commerce directors adjourned Monday without taking the expected stand on the city’s political situation. It was announced action at this time was “deemed inadvisable, because of the several propositions before the mayor.” Mayor to Court Wednesday A committee of business men has urged the mayor to name a responsible business man as city controller in place of Mrs. Duvall to succeed Duvall In the event he resigns or is ousted. The mayor Is scheduled to go before Special Judge Cassius C. Shirley in Criminal Court at 2 p. m. Wednesday to file a motion for new trial upon his corrupt practice conviction and possibly to hear the judge pronounce the SI,OOO fine, thirty-day jail term and four-year debarment from office sentence which was imposed by the jury last month.

“This was several years ago, when my stomach was bad,” said Rohrer. “I took only a tablespoonful before each meal to stimulate my appetite.” He further said that he had taken’ .whisky at times for his health. * * * m’M NOT with Shumaker on this medicinal liquor proposition,” he continued. “I even think Gilliom is right about having the law changed, but I do not admire his methods. “That was why I said that he ought to be sent to the penal farm when he bragged about getting whisky for sick relatives.

OMAN BUYS VIRGINIA FARM Bus Man Obtains 4,000Acre Dairy Project. A. Smith Bowman, Peoples Motor Coach Company founder, has purchased a 4,000 acre model dairy farm near Herndon, Va., twenty miles from Washington, D. C., for a reported cash consideration of $200,000, it was learned here today. Bowman has been in Washington for several weeks and, according to Mrs. Bowman, the Bowman family will move to Washington within a short time. It has been reported for some time that Bowman has sold his controlling interest in the Peoples Motor Coach Company and that the unknown purchaser would benefit from the proposed sale of the bus company’s stock to the Indianapolis Street Railway Company for $500,000. The public service commission has refused to authorize the sale, and an appeal is pending in Circuit Court. According to Washington newspapers Bowman bought the Virginia land from the estate of the late Dr Hugh B. Hutchinson. The estate includes a twenty-room manor house, twelve tenant houses and three warehouses.

As soon as the weather is favorable, the big plane, carrying Mrs. Frances Wilson Grayson and two men, will take off on a projected flight to Copenhagen, Denmark, its pilots say. Today dawned clear and crisp and local weather conditions were perfect, but reports from the ocean which the little Long Island real estate woman hopes to span in a single hop indicated there would be no take-off for two or three days.

“We’ll go this afternoon, ** Ilaldeman said, and Ruth nodded her head emphatically. The 23-year-old girl who want® to be the first of her sex to fly across the ocean without a stop romped around like a frisky colt. She posed lor photographers, ran away to talk to reporters, ran back to face the cameras, espied a group of mends, sped over to greet them, and all the while she smiled. Both pilots are froih Lakeland, Fla., and are married—but not to each other. Wife Bids Ilaldeman Good-Bye Mrs. Virginia Haldman was her# to bid her husband good-bye. Lyle Womack, Miss Elder’s husband, was in Balboa, Canal Zone. The girl said she had heard from Lyle and had his best wishes and love for the perilous Journey. In reply she had written him a cablegram, she added, and she showed the reporters a message addressed to him, but she wouldn’t let any one read it. “I Just told him the next time he heard from me Id be in Paris," she exclaimed. The plan to follow the “Lindbergh Trail,” via Nova Scotia, was altered today, Haldeman said. Instead, they will fly due east, passing out to sea off the tip of Long Island, for 1,244 miles, thence heading northeast toward the English channel. That means no land, just the restless sea beneath them and the uncom.promMlng sky above them through the thirty-six hours they estimate will be needed if favorable gods ride on the nose, tail and wings of their one-motored craft. Both Sleep Well Both pilots slept well last night, Miss Elder said she retired at 10 and was up at 9 o’clock, while Haldeman had nine hours in slumber. Miss Elder’s cheeks were rouged today as were her lips, but the artificial color wasn’t necessary. The flush of excitement was enough. Her costume was masculine and sat well on her slender figure. She wore gray golf knickers, a red and green Campbell plaid sweater and stockings to match, a man’s oxford shirt and black and red four-in-hand tie. Her sport shoes were in different shades of tan. The girl’s short dark brown hair was held captive by a pastel-shaded ribbon in which grape, violet and cornsilk mingled. Over that attire she soon was to wear a flying suit. Both to Pilot Craft Haldeman wore a blue buslnesa suit, which was to be covered by the regulation aviation costume. Haldeman is 29 and has had eleven years flying experience. “I intend to take the ship off the ground and land it. But once we re in the air, Miss Elder will pilot the plane a large part of the time,’’ he said.

Mate to Lost Plane Miss Elder’s plane Is a StinsonDetroiter and a duplicate of the Sir John Carling, lost in its attempted fight across the Atlantic: the Royal Windsor, which abandoned an attempt to make a trans-oceanio flight, jmd the Pride of Detroit, in which Brock and Schlee made their attempt to fly around the world. The plane carries two sheepskinlined flying suits, should extreme cold weather be encountered; emergency rations for four days; a set of searchlights, and a huge, sharp hunting knife, set on the ceiling of the cabin, for use, should it be necessary to cut away from the plane. Part of the plane’s equipment is a vanity case, carried by Miss Elder. Will Powder Her Nose “I want to get out of the plane at Le Bourget as cool and neat and looking as well as I did at the start,” she frankly said. "Surely I’ll powder my nose whenever I feel like It—flying or not flying.” Miss Elder showed signs of nervousness and strain, however. Captain Halderman went about the work of making ready with a manner which reflected determination.
