REBELLION AGAIN
OPENS IN MEXICO
Several Former Carranza o.
ficers Are Said to Be Pre-
pairing Uprising.

Washington.-Adyices to the state
department Saturday from the Ameri-
can embassy in Mexico City said
number of officers, formerly on the
staff of General Pablo Gonzales, were
in prison on the charge of plotting
against the government, that the
state of Chiapas was in open rebel
lion and that General Francisco ].
Murguia, who was defeated for COVER
nor in the state of Michoacan, has rails
ed the flag of rebellion.
The Mexican embassy has received
official advices which it made public
Saturday stating that Generals Juan
Barragan, Alfredo Ricaut and Lucio
Blanco and Colonel Pauline Fontes
had returned to Mexico from the Unit
ed States, where they fled after the
killing of Carranza The embassy
statement says:
"The authorities, in accordance with
an order by the government, have not
prevented their entry in order to pur-
sue them in due time SO as to cut off
their possible retreat"
Mexico City newspapers give promi-
hence to reports that two of these gen.
erals, Blanco and Ricaut, together
with Ignacio Bonillas, formerly am
bassadDr to the United States, attend
ed a "tunta" held recently at San An
tonic, Tex, for the purpose of pro-
noting new revolution looking to
the restoration Of the Carranza gov.
eminent
These accounts said it was decided
first to obtain the release from prison
of Manuel Aguirre Berlanga, minister
Of the interior and head of the Car
rama cabinet, who, those attending
the junta claimed was the legitimate
successor to Carranza by virtue of be-
ing the highest executive officer of
the government, after Carranza's
death According to the newspaper
reports, Bonillas was to come to Wash
ington to ask the American authorities
to recognize Berlanga in order to in
sure the constitutional succession of
authority in Mexico, while Lucio Blan- |
co was to go to the state of Nuevo
Leon to head the revolutionary move.
ment there. These newspapers stated
the American government had been
advised of the movement through the
present regime in Mexico City and had
expressed willingness to increase its
vigilance on the border to prevent any
large number Of "imigres" from re-
turning to Mexico.

RICE FIELDS SHOW
GOOD PROSPECTS
GROWERS CLAIM INCREASE OF IS
PER CENT OVER THAT OF
LAST YEAR.
GOOD PRICE WAS OBTAINED
Association Is Engaged in Census of
Acreage Of Rioe-Department of
Agriculture Is Expected
To Help.

New Orleans. - The Rice Growers
Association is engaged in two move
ments which have an important bear,
ing on the coming crop. One is a CEN
sas Of the acreage devoted to the sta
pie. The calculation will not be com
Dleted for few days but it is safe
to estimate an increase of Is per cent
over last year. The other is the CO.
operation Of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture in obtaining
enough binders to handle the crop.
Similar assistance last year was inn
mensely beneficial, and an earlier
start will assure even better results
this time. The fields look fine, and
there is prospect of a splendid crop,
provided enough harvest labor can be
obtained The outlook is for labor
scarcity, with the further probability
that higher wages will be demanded.
The growers return is considered a
problem even by the experts in the
business. A good price was obtained
last year, but some of the crop is still
on hand The greatest retarding fac
tor was the amazing decrease in con
sumption America had worked up to
per capita average Of eight pounds,
but the average was cut in half last
year. Many merchnts nticipted a
drop in prices and refrained from
stocking up; there were all sorts Of
transportation embargoes and fail
ures,, and the distribution was con-
tract6d in other ways, so that the con-
Stunning public could not get the rice
and lost the habit to an injurious ex
tent.
There is fear that the habit will not
be fully revived in time and that this
condition may affect the price and dis
tributiOn of the oncoming crop Rice
is one of the few foods which will
bear holding, but any plan along that
line will require the organization OF
cooperation between a number of the
interests involved. Agitation along
that line already has been started.
The usual practice has been for the
growers to begin the season by fixing
a price for the staple which they uv-
lIeve will prevail during the season. 1t
is said that, this year, conference
with the millers will be invited so as
TO make sterilization a matter of mu-
tual agreement and arrangement. The
millers already re working on an i'm
mense national advertising campaign !
to popularize the cereal and educate
the public in its most palatable prepa- 7
ration. Other expedients may be
evolved so as to enable the industry
to hold the advance achieved, espe-
cially in Louisiana.

hHe PUBLIC EYE
Hope for Reduction in Taxes

Hope for an early reduction in
taxes is held out by Representative
Mondell Of Wyoming, Republican lead
er Of the house.
I'VE shall enter the new session
of congress in December and the new
congress in March," said Mr.. Mondell's
statement, with the way opened for
a substantial reduction of the tax bur-
dens."
The Republican leader made no
prediction as to when the lower taxes
would become effective, but said re-
auctions would not be possible until
after the close Of the fiscal year which
begins next month.
The proposed changes in the tax
laws also were not revealed by Mr..
Mondell, although he indicated his dis
approval of the administration pro-
gram for the discard Of the excess
profits levies. He cOntended that
such action at this time would mean
a shifting of burdens from large In

Eugenie, Former Empress of
France, Claimed by Death

Madrid.-The former Empress Eu-
genie of France died Sunday from
acute intestinal inflammation. She
passed away quietly in the presence
only of her lady in waiting. Her
nephew, the duke of Alba, at whose
residence she died. was in France, and
the other members of the family were
absent.
The ex-Empress Eugene was almost
impatient for the end of her long
lease of life. It ran 50 years. Forty
four were sparkling in the successive
roles of the Spanish countess, Eu.
genie Marie de Moniio, travelling
through Europe, visitor to the
French court, wife of Napoleon III,
and an occasional regent of the
French empire. Then in a day the
whole structure of imperial eminence
collapsed, The other half of her lite
was mournful, so much so that Eu-
genie had said; Il wish l had passed
when the shadowy fabric of my. dream
fell apart"
One instance of Eugenie's former
brilliancy recalls the opening of the
Suez Canal She was the center of
the festivities at Cairo, upon which
the khedive is said to have spent all
Of the $11,OOO,oOO in his treasury. The
gown she wore at the khedive's ball
cost $4,000, and later it served to
pay debt when she fled from Paris.
1t has since been reported as brought
to America for sale.
1t has been estimated that the for.
tune of the ex-empress amounts to
$3O,OOO,OOO.

BIRMINGHAM HAS
 NEW RECORD FOR
 DAYLIGHT HO[DUPS

For the first twelve days of October Birmingham has a record of sixteen highway rob- berries. With a few exceptions, these have been committed in open daylight and in the major ity of instances the highway men were negroes.
 Only one hold-up has been reported to the sheriffs office this week. off cers were beginning to think the high waymen we're taking a vacation, as two days passed without one being re- ported This. however, was not the case, as from the report they are work ing in different section of the city.
 The latest victim was Charles B. Smith. 2102 Avenue H, south, who was hit over the head with a sandbag Tues day night and robbed of SEQ. Ahis hold-up was staged by two unidenti- ern and Fisco railroad crossing at Pratt City about 5:45 o'clock. Ar. Smith was left lying in an unconscious condition and was not found for sew eral hours.
 Although this month has been rec ord breaking for highway robberies, violence has been used in few cases. c. Fl. Ware. air inspector for the Ala bama Great Southern railroad was shot by two negroes Saturday night

 POCKETBOOK STUNT
 On the other hand thing which puz- zles the officers is the fact that the old pocketbook stunt has done the work. In more than half of the robberies com mitted a pocketbook filled with paper has been left in the road and when the party passing along the road picked it up he was usually looking into the barrel of big pistol The negro holdup men would be sitting on the side of the road behind some bushes waiting for their victims and with guns on them tell them to give up their money. According to 1 those robbed there was little hesitancy 1 about complying with the request,
