It is surprising that skating rink
should maintain its popularity 50 late
in the season. Earlier in the sea-
son the use of the rink was even more
extensive.
The success of the venture is an adj

possible. When Minot agencies unite
in any enterprise it's success is as

CRITICISM IF
 WILSON DENIED
 BY TOKYO GOVT,
[RepubIioan A. P. Leased wire]

WASHINGTON. April 1S.-Reports published in this country to the effect that the Japanese diet had been pro- rogued last month by Premier Hara to prevent a discussion of "a diplomatic blunder,' which involved President Wilson's name, have reached Japan and caused the foreign office to issue formal denial. According to the pub lished story, King George of England in private conversation with Marquis Saionji and Baron Makfno the two Japanese delegates at the peace con- ference, was said to have referred to President Wilson as an "officouS busy body who wanted to measure the whole world with his republican foot rule and alter everything that did not square with the constitution of the United States King George was further quoted as expressing regret that, through American objection at Yer sailles, the Japanese claim for nacial equality was not included in the treaty
 Political enemies of the present Jap anese cabinet are charged with re- sponsibility for the circulation of a story which now has brought a formal denial from Ambassador Shidehara who is at San Francisco, where he has just met his wife and children on their arrival from Japan. Ambassador Shidehara telegraphed the embassy here:
 Certain newspapers in this country have lately published a story eirculat- ed in Japan which speculates upon the contents of a suppressed statement in a recent bulletin of the Japanese for eign office giving an account of a visit to London of the Japanese delegates to the peace conference.
 AS a result of inquiries made of the foreign office in Tokio, the Japanese embassy is authorized to deny in the most categorical terms the authenticity of such story in whole or in part The Japanese government has not at any time received any information from it's delegates of the nature as reported in the press relative to the remarks made by his majesty, the king, to the Japan ese delegates on the occasion of the audience rendered to them"

SONORA REVOLUTION
 RESEMBLES MOVE OF
 TEXAS FOR LIBERTY

DOUGLAS, Ariz.. April 1S.-When Sonora, Mexico, declared that it, as a state. reassumed its liberty of action without reference to the Carranza gov ernment. it created only one more in stance Of a situation which has been common in the history of the Mexican confederation.
 The situation indeed somewhat re- sembled that created in 1885 when Texas and Zacate refused longer to recognize the administration of Gen. Santa Ana, because that general had abrogated the federal constitution of 1924. In defense of this stand, the famouse battle of the Alamo was fought at San Antonio. Texas won its independence definitely at the bat tie of San Jacinto but Zacates was beaten and forced to resume it's status as a Mexican state.
 In 1899, Yucatan declared it's inde- pendence in a similar manner and other states have done likewise from time to time. In no case was a separ- ate government designed at first but events caused Texas to become an independent nation, and Yucatan was Subdued only after a bitter struggle

SECOND MEXICAN IN REVOLT. SAYS BULLET
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

MEXICO CITY, April 1S.-A revolt in the state of Michoacan, engineered by General Pasqual Ortiz Rubio, gov ernor of the state, and a strong sup porter of Lieutenant Colonel Alvaro Obregon, is announced in the govern ment's second war bulletin, issued early today. Governor Rubio, the bulletin states. has fled from Morelia. the state capital, with 100 men accompanied by Major Jesus Millian, with a command of 50 men. General de la Tore, who came to the capital to confer with President Carranza, has been ordered to proceed immediately to Acambaro, and report to General Bruno Micro, who has ,been substituted in the Acambaro region for General Jose Rentra Luyiano, sent to take charge of the Sonora campaign.
 According to the bulletin, Governor Rubio has fled to the hills, taking with him the contents of the state treasury. It adds that General Micro has arr rived at Morelia to take charge of mili- tary operations and that detachment of state troops had left the capital for Acambaro to pun sue the outlaw gover- nor and reinforce the Morelia garri- son.
 Consider Uprising Purely Local
 While the revolt of pro-Obregon authorities in Michoacan had been ex- pected, it was considered officially as a purely local uprising.
 The remainder of the state is re- ported to be quiet.
 \ dispatch to Fl Universal from it's Morelia correspondent asserted Colonel Obregon was in that town. It is stated that he is in open revolt, but this is not confirmed officially.
 The governments stand concerning Colonel Obregon is comrhented upon approvingly by it's supporters, who de- clare that in allowing him a, free hand, instead of detaining him, as would have been easy when he was in the capital, the government had given him opportunity to show what his real po- litical aims were.
