ton. for trousers for poor MeXicans.

signs OF nervousness which was al
layed, however, when they learned the
real purpose of the interview.
when the world thinks of Mexi-
cans" president Huerta said, 'it does
not think of men dressed like you and
me, but of those poor, ragged, dirty
cotton trOusered men. Now I want
you to help me. I shall appoint a
committee of two women for each of
you Please keep your eyes open for
each of these poor men needing trOus-

affairs. He jolked today with his
fashionable callers, who visited him
at his summons, about their club and
their life of ease. There were a few
Americans among the number.

OROZCO NOT IN THE
TORREON FIGHTING

Pascual OrozcO is in Mexico City and
has not been near the fighting at Tor
reon and san Pedro, American refugees
from Torreon who arrived here Mon
dav say. The Americans declare that
while OrozcO was reported at Torreon
and San Pedro, he never came north
from Mexico City and had no part IN
anv of the fighting They say that De
NOure and Mas were in San PEDRO
when last heard from in Torreon, and
that Campo came from the east to re-
infOrce them.
Ve-asco has not been heard from
either. although he is believed to be
in Parras. He had abandoned his
trains and left Viezca for Parras when
last seen. The prisoners that were
captured by the rebels near San PEDRO
reached Torreon before the Americans
left and were put to work in the
hospitals and on the railroads.

MAZATLAN TROOPS
DESERVING RAPIDLY
Federal Commander a Doughty One,
HOWever-LCWer california No"
n Rebel Territory, Too.

HermosiIlo. Sonora. Mex, April IA
A man who escaped from Mazalah
into the rebel lines about two weeks
ago. told The Herald correspondent 10
day that Gen. Carlos Rodriguez, the
federal commander at Mazauan, mas
about 1900 men in the city. FOR long
time, he said. there had been nothing
more than skirmishes with rebel out
posts and the plan of the rebels evil
IDENTIFY is simply to keep the Iederals
isolated and wear them out. Cen hOd-
riguez has fought his way up IN Slna-
IOa from the rank of captain and COM
mands much respect among the rebels.
With greatly superior FORCES II cost
them many months time to whip him
out of northern SinalOa and corral him
in MaZatlan. His retreat from Culia-
can. November H. was accomplished
under great difficulties and cost him
about half his force. He is very well
liked by his men, but their spirit is
broken with the long series OF defeats
and they are deserving to the rebels ut
every opportunity, sOmtimes in squads
The topography Of MazatIan makes
II easy for a small force to hold out a
long time against superior numbers, the
city being on a peninsula that is con-
nected with the mainland by a strip of
open country only about 500 yards
across.
When the federal governor of the
southern half of Lower California
switched his allegiance to the rebel
cause recently, he seized the merchant
man Bonita" and sent a battalion or
recruits to Altata to assist in the cam
naign now being pushed against TeDlc.
That was the first time La Paz, the
principal city in southern Lower Cali
fornia, had felt the revolutions close to
home all that region having remained
tranquil during all three of the revo-
lutions except for one or two small ban
dit outbreaks that never assumed any
Importance. But there was no fight
ing the federal authorities and troops
simply turning over to the rebels.

Little interest is being taken in the

of the National Conference on Market
ing and Farm Credits and the Western
Economic society here today David
Friday, professor of political economy
of the university of Michigan, declared
that the prevalent demand to "elimin-

economic fallacy.
The middleman plays a legitimate
part in the division of labor. he said.

cialization, which ne. asserted is the

NO ATTACK ON
MAZATLAN MADE
BY THE REBELS
Reports of Serious Battle
Denied; Topic Attack
Planned First.

Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mex. April II
mere seems to be no fOunGaIloh LOT
the frequent reports that the consul
tu1onahsts" are attacking Mazatlan.
IN Iact, 1t can hardly be SAID thaI
4IaZatlan is being besieged, although
the rebels have some bands OF 1rregu-
lars toraglng in front of the city ana
since last September there has been
very little intercourse between the
port and the interior An occasional
skirmish occurs between the federal
OutpOsIS and the rebels, but for a long
time there has been no serious en-
gagement.
The rebel leaders pretend to be or
gaming Tor strong movement
against the city of Topic, and now
have something like 1000 men in the
northern part of the territory between
AcapOneta on the north and Navarette
on the south. The number of federals
in Topic is not known here but 1t is
said to be above 1000 and large per-
centage of them are seasoned regular
army men for whom the rebels have
much respect. The federals have not
taken the aggressive for a long time
and seem TO be content with holding
the city of Topic and the rebels have
met with no resistance for some time,
but they are not showing any en-
thusiasm about drawing in on the
city.
Topic "a Strategic Point
The rebel strategists declare that
W III OpAI Al AAACAA pOhCA LllGg W III
at once move down the coast and take
Manzanillo and COlima and isolate
Guadalajara, and that they will then
be in position to attack both Mazatlan
and Guaymas advantage Ously, without
fear Of federal reinforcements inter
fering.
The government could still send re-
Inducements from the interior through
Salina Cruz, but the rebels say that
additions to their navy will be on the
scene by the time they are ready to
attack and that they viii be able to
cope with the two federal gunboats
that are on the west coast. No attack
has yet been made seriously on Quay
mas by rebels.
Counter Revolutions Start.
Small counter revolutions are break
ing out on the Sinaloa-Chihuahua Dor
der north of here, and also between
here and Mazatlan. Since their arrival
in November the rebels principal ac-
tivities have been in the way of con-
fiscation Of property and the persecu-
ton of the families of those who are
alleged to be friendly to the federal
cause and many Of those who were the
staunchest supporters of Madero in his
life time have suffered heavily because
of the enmity Of some rebel.
The lack of a leader of force and
initiative is very apparent in the state.
