PRIETA IN HANDS OF
CONSTITUTIONALISTS

Douglas. Ariz, March 12-Agua Prieta
fell to the constitutionalist sympathizers
who crossed the border from Douglas late
today. Not shot was fired. General
Ojeda, commanding the federal garrison
with about 500 men, evacuated the town,
leaving 80 rurale police to guard federal
interests.
After the. surrender of the border town
$50 state troops under Colonel Gales, ar
rived and provisional municipal gov
ernment was set UP.
Late this afternoon "a of the guards
left by General Ojeda deserted to the
rebel standard and the six who refused
to join the constitutionaists were sent
out of town. Unarmed men from Douglas
crossed the border tonight and reinforced
the rebel garrison. The new arrivals
found 1900 rounds of ammunition, some
rifles and camp supplies left by the fed
erals in their haste.
Tonight the rebels celebrated the
bloodless victory. Viva constitution"
was the cry in the streets of the lit
tie Mexican town.
While the troops paraded the streets
In hilarious fashion Colonel GALES said
there was no fear of disorders. He has
sent word to Douglas for all refugees
to return and be assured of protec-

OPPONENTS BREAK
Up SUFFRAGE MEET
Fusillade of Eggs Hurled at
Speakers Platform in
London

London. March 1.-TWO suffragette
meetings tonight, one at Edenbridge, Kent
end the other at Radlett, Herfordshire
were broken up by opponents of the
cause. At Edenbridge the wall behind the
platform was despatched by a fusillade
OF eggs The platform was stormed and
the police were called out to restore order.
At Radlett the din of the shouting,
singing and ringing of bells was main
tained for nearly an hour and hardly a
word of speeches could be heard.
The government has served a writ on
Frederick Pethfck Lawrence. joint editor
With his wife of the publication, Votes
for Women" for the recovery sof 5000
the unpaid balance of the costs in the
conspiracy trial at Old Bailey last May
The sum of $3.50 was recovered from the
sale of Lawrence's furniture and belong
ings last October
The suffragettes believe the government
has taken this action now in view of sim
liar orders to pay the costs of prosecu-
ton being made against other suffra-
eette offenders. A large number of trad
ing firms in the West End of London
are bringing joint actions in the civil
courts to test the liability of Mrs. Pank-
hurst and her daughters and Mr.. and Mrs.
Pethick Lawrence for militancy. The
charges in the actions are conspiracy to
induce window breaking and heavy dam
ages are claimed. 1t is probable that
three months will elapse before the cases
come up for trial.

Must IIse Port

El Paso March 12-If the provisional
government at Mexico City intends to
rush troops to subdue the anti-IIuerta
uprising in Sonora, the western border
state, which practically has seeded from
the republic, it must either be done by
landing federal forces at some California
gulf port or moving them frcm Chihua-
hua, the frontier state, to the east
The recent declaration of lnez Salazar,
however, the ex-rebel general, that he Will
not accept Huerta's espousing, has aggra-
waited conditions around Parral, and other
threatening conditions in Chihuahua
makes it appear that General Babagos
force OF from 1000 to 1900 federals cannot
move far from the vicinity of Chihuahua
city, the state capital
While Chihuahua, the state which pro-
NOTED Madero's revolution remains COM
paratively quiet this is credited by many
as resulting largely from revolutionary
fatigue, occasioned by two years of tur-
mol and business stagnation. Wearied
by the protracted revolution which con-
tiuued in Chihuahua even after Madero's
victory, the ex-insurrectionists themselves
appear unwilling to continue their habit
of contesting the national government.
Yet the old Maderista element is strong
in the state, and in many ways has dis
regarded the Huerta regime. Travellers
arriving here today from the west coast
report there is no federal force in south
ern Sonora or Sinalao fit to move against
Hermosllo.
The Sonora state capital is held by over
1000 constitutonalsts, backing up the
stand of the state officials. They have
fortified the town and possess five ma
chine guns. Americans just returned from
Guayamas and points to the south say
that at the Sonora gulf port there are
not over 200 Huerta soldiers. while Oulia-
can, capital of Sinaloa, and Mazatlan, the
Pacific coast port in the same state, has
only about 800 federafs each. Some in
terror towns still possess smaller garri-
sons. all of which combined could not
make a force the tourists estimate, to be
sufficient to enter northern Sonora. Near
" every province of Sonora has risen to
the call of states rights to oust the
Huerta sodiery from the limits of the
states.

Sinaloa Officially Reyolts

Nogales Ariz., March 12.-The state
of Sinaloa. south of Sonora, has revolted
officially against Huerta's national. gov
ernment and named a provisional gov
ernor, according to reports. of persons
arriving today from Hermosillo. They
also report that the Yaqui Indians of
Sonora have volunteered to assist the in
surgents.
state troops under General Obregon
began moving In from their camp 20
miles south, and are expected to reach
Nogales, Sonora, early this afternoon.
Further conferences between Colonel Kos
terlfzky of the Nogales garrison and
Can't. G.. C. Smith of the Fifth United
States cavalry border patrol, have been
without result. Obregon's forces at noon
were only three miles away.
Kosterlitzky sent word to Captain
Smith that he was starting out to give
battle. Kosterlitzky, whose 40 years of
military service in Mexico ends in April,
when he would be retired on full pay,
finds himself facing probably the most
serious situation of a military life filled
with campaigns against the Indian tribes
of Sonora. With fewer than 300 rural
police and recruits he must meet an ad-
vance of nearly 1000 state troops or flee
to the American side.

A Defect in Parcel Post

FROM the Springfield Republlcan
The manager of the parcel post de-
rartment of a number of insurance COM
panies of New York reports that already
losses by theft have been extremely nu-
merous, and complaints have come in
from other quarters The reason as
signed is that packages sent in this man
ner cannot be properly sealed, and must
also be inspected by the postoffice author
tiles to determine whether they properly
belong to the parcel post service. Obvi-
ously this reproach must in some way
be removed if the postal service is to
compare favorably with that of the ex-
press companies for articles likely to
tempt cupidity. What the postoffice can
do to get rid of dishonest employees is
yet to be seen, but something might be
accomplished by the invention of an mex
pensive, convenient and effective system
of sealing.
