partido obregonista cue acaba de re-
orpanizarse bajo Ia presidential del
Lie Jose I. Novelo y que ha entrado
en- la lucha para ganar Ia e!ecclon de
funcionarios municipalities en- Ia cludad

Los obregonistas han contestado a
las amenazas hechas recientemente
Dor ell Secretario de Gobernacion, de
acudir a la "mano de hierro", con
otra: la de que Sc recurrira Ia fuer-
"a para inponer "al candidate del
pueblo" (Ogreg6n) 81 el gobierno de
Carranza Sc obstina en- lmponer al
candidate Bonillas.

manera Categorical, que no Sc extra

no habra quien pregunte: jplensa

E. mismo lidcr obregonista lanzo

do de TRACTION a la rcvoluci6n.
"Es Observation-Disclosures en-
cuenta que ia revolucion. algin dia,

Ataco Gonzalez Y a Bonillas, di-
ciendo del primero que era la yegua
; de Orlando: magnifica Y bella, pero
con Ell defecto de que estaba muerta.
De Bonillas, dijo ell iider obregonista,
que en- la contienda presidential We
MIA hacer el papel de monigote, e
Iinconsciente de una Danaide que iba
entregar su esplendida cabellera al
Jupiter del Gobierno.
Por ultimo, dijo que era necesario
establecer ell sistema parIar: ontario,
porque solamente asi Sc podra acabar
con la serie de dictaduras que ha te-

Minor Is Held by
Army at Coblenz

PARIS, June 11.-Robert Minor, an
American newspaper correspondent and
cartoonist, who recently mysteriously
disappeared from Paris, has been To-
Gated in Coblenz, where he is in charge
of the military authorities. The 1ea-
son for his detention is not known
Hugh c. Wallace, the Ambassador, is
interesting himself IN the case, and
the expectation is that Minor will be
released.
When Minor disappeared, Lincoln
Steffens, another American CORE
spondent, requested the American EN-
bassy to make inquiries concerning
him. Colonel E. M. House, one of the
American peace delegates, later was
asked to investigate the disappearance.
Minor recently came to France from
Germany. He had been in Russia for
many months prior to last December.
He was formerly employed by "The
New York World" and "The Philadel-
phia Public Ledger" 1t is said that
his trunk remains in the hotel room
occupied by him when in Paris, but his
papers are declared to have been re-
moved. Minors disappearance fol-
lowed his attendance at a syndicalist
railway employees meeting, where he
talked with the committee in charge.

Ex-City Clerk Gets
A Suspended Sentence

Judge Frank Young, of the West
chester County Court, suspended SEN
tence yesterday on Peter Collins, for
mer City Clerk Of Mount Vernon, who
had pleaded guilty to an indictment
charging misappropriation of funds,
Judge Young said he accorded leniency
in response to the pleas of men in all
walks Of life on behalf of Collins and
in recognition of the service of the
prisoners two sons in France, where
one was killed. A further consdera-
tion was the fac. that the former
official had made restitution, i'm
poverishing his family and himself in
doing so.
Judge Young said the case was one
of the oldest that ever had come be-
fore him. Money had been misappro-
priated, he explained, many times, but
there was no evidence to slow that
the ex-city clerk had devoted it to his
own purposes.
Collins relinquished office December
81, 1917. The shortage amounted to
$500. He pleaded guilty last month
