GALES REMOVES
 CANANEA SHELL PLANT SOUTH
Naco Reports Partial Embar- go Placed On Supplies Into Mexico. Few Sacks Of Beans Excepted
feY Review Leased Wirel

NACO, Ariz., June 23-Two Ameri- cans and one German employed by the Southern Pacific of Mexico Rail- road were discharged from the posi- tions in Naco, Sonora, today by the Mexican military officials who have taken control of the road. The men immediately came across to the American town.
 One of the Americans discharged was the train despatcher and the other clerk. The German was sta tion agent at Mexican Naco.
 A telephone report received here today by an official of a mining com pany from Cananea stated the shell and cartridge plant operated by the de facto government at Cananea was dismantled yesterday and sent to Her mosillo. the state capital on special train.
 Communication across the line here practically ceased today. The military guard at the gate allowed forty sacks of beans and twenty sacks of corn to cross to Mexico but all freight cars and supplies other than foodtusffs were held on the American side.
 Several Mexican refugees went to Naco, Sonora, from the Bisbee and Lowell districts, a short distance north of here. Approximately 300 Mexican troops were stationed in the Mexican town.
 Considerable uneasiness was notice able among residents here because of rumors that raids were being planned from the Mexican side. These rum ors were given little credence by the authorities. Two hundred United States soldiers are stationed here and officials felt they could amply protect the town.
