TREAT MEXICANS
AS REBELS
Members Of Sonora Legislature and
Others Taking Part in Seces-
sionary Movement are to
Be Prosecuted.

! by Ralph H. Turner, United Press
| Staff Correspondent
MEXICO CITY, April night
Members Of the Sonora legislature
and others participating in the al
legged secessionary movement in that
state will be regarded as rebels and
immediate action taken accordingly,
it was learned officially tonight.
General Dieguez, commanding fed
eral troops, which were prepared to
enter Sonora when the state first
protested such action, was to arrive
here tonight from Guadalajara.
He was called by President Car
rama to confer on plans for cam
paign against the Sonora forces.
The president also has called TO
the capital Governor Cantu OF Lower
California who has expressed his
loyalty to the government.
Cantu probably will be asked to
take a leading part in the move to
suppress the incipient revolt.
A movement for mediation was
started today by a group of promi-
nent citizens OF Sonora who were in
the capital. They were headed by
Roberto Pesquera, former Mexican
financial agent at Ell Paso and Wash
ington and widely known in the
United States-s Pesquera asked an
audience with President Carranza.
There is only one hope for saliva
ton from national disaster" Pes
guerra said in an interview with the
United Press. That is mediation or
compromise.
"If the president grants us an

nor De La Huerta (of Sonora) come
to the capital for conference. The
governor is willing. Then we will
suggest that the government with
hold troops from Sonora territory
until they actually are needed there.
Ssh ould that be agreed upon l am
confident the Sonora government will
modify its attitude toward one Of
recognition of the federal govern
ment. But If the federal government
refuses, l am fearful Of the conse-
uuences, because the people or Sonora
are unanimously behind their legisla-
ture.
There are 10000 armed men in
Sonora who will resist to the last
Another movement was under way
seeking settlement through mediation
by the federal courts. The supreme
court was to give its decision on the
legal aspects of the case in the near
future.

SALARIES FOR
IOWA TEACHERS
Advance is General All Through State
According to Statistics OF Sched-
uIes For the Coming

The increase in the salaries OF the
teachers and superintendent OF the
public schools of Iowa is figured at 20
to so per cent That is to be taken
as a permanent increase. 1t will not
slide down again as soon as other
wages or salaries begin to increase.
1t is a remarkable fact that even at
the advanced salaries there is scar.
city of teachers. Thus the Teachers
college at Cedar Falls has requests
from the larger eastern cities for
teachers in blocks of one hundred,
and they are willing to take teachers
without experience. The fact is that
many have turned their backs upon
the profession, and they are not COM
ing back.
Take the matter of superintendent,
who receive fair salary as compared
with teachers who teach. The super
intendents in Bloomfield, Clear Lake,
,Des Moines, Lake City, Laurens, North
English, Onslow, Valley Junction and
Woodbine have resigned and are going
into other callings, and several of the
Iowa superintendent are contemplate
ing similar action.
Charlton pays $1,000 this year and
offers $500 for next year, and the
position is not filled at the present
time. The same is true of number
iof other desirable places. The Des
Moines position paid $500 last year.
The salary for the next school year
has not been fixed and will probably
be made to suit the man when they
find him.
In long list of superintendent,
prepared by John Dorman of Des
Moines, the lowest figure is $500 at
Harcourt There the salary offered
for the new year is $4,000.
