SONORA CONTINUES
PLANS FOR DEFENSE
Reports of Michoacan Action
Crafty Officials of
New Republic.

Aqua PRIETA, Sonora, Mexico,
April l9.--Officials of the Sonora state
government, whose detection from the
Carranza government of Mexico federal
force Of arms, continued today their
dispositions of men and munitions to
oppose possible invasion. Meanwhile
Sonora forces were far south of the
Sonora border, pressing through Sina-
loa, to the attack of Mazatlan, the
principal seaport.
Sonora leaders here today expressed
satisfaction at word from Mexico City
that there had been an arising in the
state of Michoacan, even though the
official news OF the affair described 1t
as purely local In character. Another
source Of qualification was the news
contained In Sonora officers dispatches
that considerable force of Carranza
troops in Sinaloa had transferred its
allegiance to the Sonora standard and
was active against CarranZa forces
there. Officials here drew favorable
conclusions from word brought by de-
serters from federal forces at Casas
Grandes that Villa was becoming active
in Chihuahua The deserters were
quoted as saying men were leaving the
Carranza forces and would reach So
nora soon and that Chihuahua state
troops and home guards had refused to
march against Sonora.
There were reports afloat Saturday
and last night that today would see
the return to its owners of the South
ern Pacific de Mexico, an American
owned railroad, running from Nogales
south to Guaymas, along the west coast
Of Mexico. The state government
seized this several days ago, declaring
step toward preventing invasion OF So
nora from Sinaloa along the road. A
strike of employees has been in effect
on this road since April 3.

WATERWAYS URGED
At ST.LOU|S MEET
Speakers at Convention Urge
Further Utilization of Ma
tons Natural TranSporta-
tion Facilities.

ST. LOUIS. April 19.--The United
States must develop and encourage her
inland waterways transportation Ii she
expects to retain her position in the
convention OF the Mississippi Valley
Waterways association declared here
today They said the railroads have
reached the limit OF their capacity.
James E. Smith, Of st. Louis. presi-
dent of the association, asserted Amer
ica compares with Europe OF 90 years
ago when that continent discovered the
necessity of using waterways as car
riers and built artificial channels
1--WE have natural channels" he said.
But it appears we do not appreciate
their. value as carriers Of our prod
ucts."
Brig. Gen. +. r. Hines, chief of the
transportation division of the war de-
partment which has control over gov
ernment inland waterways transporta-
'tion, in address said the railroad well
coined revival of water transportation
as a necessary ally in the solution OF
the transportation problems.
Commerce has a greater, more urgent
need for waterways To-Day than ever
before, he said THE present rail sit
The railroad today views the waterway
not as an undesirable competitor, but
as very necessary ally in the Solu-
tion of the enormous national transport
tation problems which we are racing.
THE demands which the railroads
are being called upon to meet are great
ly in excess of their combined facili-
ties. There is an existing Ensupplied
demand for 800, 900 freight cars alone.
Railroad men have admitted that every
locomotive plant in the country would
have to work at capacity for three
years to enable the railroads even to
catch up with the actual demands"
In assisting waterways to assume a
considerable portion of the transporta-
tion burdens, the war department de-
sires to become a material factor, he
said, adding that operation Of the sew
eral barge services already initiated was
but a single, although vital phase of
this new undertaking. Within the next
few months it was anticipated that the
complete river fleet as originally
planned for Mississippi operation by
the railroad administration would be in
service, he said, the equipment totalling
40 steel cargo barges and six steel twin
screw towboats.
Resolutions were presented demand.

Wet Goods Brings
Memphis Publicity

Memphis has gotten quite a bit of
publicity recently through announce
ment by Marshal Stanley Trezevant that
the confiscated liquor now stored in
the federal building basement would
be shipped to government health serv-
ice depots in Maryland. Monday Mr.
Trezevant was in receipt of clipping
from the Washington Post which con-
tained an elaborate account of the
forthcoming shipment.
The newspaper story went into detail
regarding the shipment of fifteen cars
of liquors, worth 81 900, ,000." Marshal
Trezevant said Monday that the lot
hardly would fill two. cars but in mat
ter of value there were several citizens
who would give a million for the lot.
The newspaper clippings were from
Congressman Hubert F. Fisher, who
also forwarded paragraph from the
editorial page of the Washington paper
commenting on the announcement (of
Memphis increased population and the
fact that growth came before it was
decided to ship away the 81 200. 900
worth of drinkables.
Delay of manufacture of boxes in
which to ship the liquor will bring about
a wait in the wet goods departure, the
marshal said. Several firms are busily
engaged in the making of these boxes.
The wait may be several weeks as the
Jackson spring term Of federal court
opens next Monday and will keep Mar
shal Trezevant and deputies busy for
some weeks.

BY PARIS, TENN, MAN

An intensely interesting address by DR.
Brooks, of Paris, Tenn. on psychology
was a feature of the regular monthly
meeting of the Madison County Teach
ers association in the supreme court
room Of the courthouse.
Dr. j, D, Hopper. of the Madison
county board of education, addressed
the teachers, favoring the proposed in
crease in salaries paid the members of
the public school faculties DR.. Hop
per's speech was heartily indorsed and
received with much interest on the part
of the teachers present. II Is predicted
by local authorities that the Madison
county schools will not be demoralzed
for lack of adequate salaries paid the
teachers. The last session of the coun-
ty court passed resolution recon-
mending that the school levy remain as
it now is for the year 1920, which un-
der the new assessment law will amount
to substantial increase in the funds
provided for the maintenance OF the
Dublic schools.
