REVOLT IN TAAPIco OIL
 FIELDS HAS BROKEN DOWN


 Mexico City, July 17.-CBy the A. p The revolt nezded by Gen. Lartinez Herrera in the Tampico oil region has apparently broken down without the fir ing of a shot Herrera's request that he be permitted to surrendeDhas resulted in an order for the disarming persons of his followers who are said to number about 150.
 The center of interest throughout the four-day period of the rising was General Pelaez, commander-in-chief of the federal forces in the Tampico district. He re- turned to Mexico City from the garrison few hours before dispatches told the insurgent movement led bzy Herrera who was his trusted aid and second in com mand.
 In view of persistent stories that Gen. Pelaez was not in entire accord with the Obregon administration there was anxiety as to what course he would take. He i'm mediately announced himself in complete harmony with President Obreson, dis avowed Herrerra's actions and described the revolt as inspired by certain oil men who wilfully misled the soldiers into be- lieving that the rebellion was his per sonaI desire.

work of dielnbarking the passengers.
 Late last night line was thrown from BarIAardt's Island aboard the steamer and a heavy cable stretched from the ship to the shore.
 Work of rescue began at 8 o'clock this morning life-boat capable of holding seven passengers, the captain and two members of the crew, was at hauled ashore by twenty men and back by windlass aboard the steamer. Not more than three trips an hour were made and for a long time Captain Batten in sisted on making every trip.
 At the point on the island where the landing was made the shore line is so precipitous that it was necessary to cut steps in the bank and erect a temporary landing.
 As soon as passengers were landed on the island which is about miles long and three wide and is unipaabited they were taken by automobiles to the lower end and ferried across to Cornwall, Ont where some boarded the Rapids Queen, a sister ship to the disabled boat ,tsut the majority apparently preferred to com plete their journey by rail-
 The Rapids King which representatives of owners said today would be aban- doned was built especially for use on the St. Lawrence and running the rapids She had wide beam, had small draught and was equipped with powerful engines. The steamer was a three deck CT and built to accommodate 400 pas. sengers and a large crew.

oEendensburg, N. r., July 17|Pas- sengers were being landed slowly today and tonight from the. steamer Rapids King of the Canadian Steamship line which was disabled in Long Sault Rapids, in the St. Lawrence river yes- 1erday. Because of the dangerous cur rent the passengers were being taken of in a small boat attaoled to strong cable at the rate of only 20 an hour. It was not expected early tonight that the work of rescue would be completed un- til after midnight as the steamer had aboard 3SO passengers and large crew. No lives have been lost.
 The accident, said by old river men to be the first of it's kind in the slong Sault Rapids in more than 50 years occurred yesterday when the Rapids King bound f-om Prescott Ontario, to Montreal, broke her rudder chain. With much difficulty the crew by means of the tiller managed 10 beach the vessel 75 feet from Barn hardt's Island.
 When uae rudder chain broke the steamer had just passed through what is known as the cellar" of the rapids. The current was so strong that the big boat was turned completely around and a hole torn in a forward compartment before she was beacaed. The steamer listed slightly to star board.
 Captain Batten of the Rapids King one of the oldest pilots on the river had a small boat launched with two sailors as companions and personally undertook to make a landing and send for relief.
 The wreck was at a point sparsely in habited and it was-hot until early even- ing that the news of De accident reached here.
 Passengers the majority of whom were tourists including several newly married couples were thrown into a small picnic when the accident occurred Captain Batten and members of the crews assisted by two sisters of charity who were passengers, were prompt to quiet and reassure them.
 Passengers spent an anxious night and few even attempted to procure any sleep. At late hour several search light were arranged on shore and played u1on the- stranded vessel. The same lights were used tonight in assisting the

Japan Divided
 Op )IsannaTnent
Hureaucrats Fear Result May Strangle Japan's Political and Economic Develop ment.

Tokio, July Is (By the 4. P).-Japan today seems an empire divided on the great issues created by the summons of President Harding to conference on disarmament and Far Eastern problems. On one side largely in the ranks of the bureaucrats, there is fear that the pro- posed conference will be dominated by the Anglo -Saxons and may result in strangling Japan's political and economic development.
 On the other side is a powerful liberal group which demands that Japan enter into. the deliberations fearlessly, submit 1 ting her wants, resolutely combating for them with confidence and not opposing ! just claims Haggling and pickering, l they insist, will ruin the cause of Japan. Many members of the privy council, ac- cording to the well informed Chugai Shogyo Shimpo, are pessim:stic about the i conference; they contend the proposal to discuss problems and policies of the Far East indicates cooperation between the 1 United States and Great Britain in an at- l tempt to settle international questions l favorably for them, an indication ot which was to be seen il, the attitude oi i the English toward the Anglo-Japanese 1 alliance.
 1 The invitation to China to join into the l conference. it is further urged, is addi l ti3hal evidence in support of the theory 1 oA a secret purpose on the part of the Anglo Saxon nationals. They argue tha l China doubtless will strive with the sup port of England ano America for a set | clement of questions in her favor, result ing in injury to Japanese interests il China. The councillors are quoted ai 1 saying:
 Japan should make participation con 1 difiona1 Or the Sattfamept nf a ftI1eStiO0 between Japan and the United States, in 1 cluding opening the economic doors of al l territories in the Pacific to orientals."
 The Jiji Shimpo and the Nichi Mich condemn the pessimists and urge Japal
 to go forward without hesitation an present her case to the world. The Mich Nichi says:
 We have become sensitive, nervou 1 nation-neurasthen;c. If we are isolate 1 we need not necessarily fear it. It i
 more important for us to destroy the na
 tional disease of fear and suspicion an achieve our resurrection"

Washington. July 17.-Plans for re- lieving the estimated shortage of 1.5OO.- 900 homes throughout the country thruogh the diversion of greater pro- portion of the nation $22 900. poo. .000 in savings deposits into home building are Under consideration by Secretary Hoover.
 The commerce secretary considers that there has been a tendency during the past few years for the savings of the people to find their way into commer- cial paper, bonds and similar securities, rather than into home building while a critical housing situation has developed with about TIT families for each 100 homes
 The chief reliance of the country in the necessary financing of home building in the opiinon of MT. Hoover must be the savings institutions. With a total ot s22, Oo0. .G5o.0o0 available from these sources he believes it will be found after eliminating the building and loan socie-

 House members gave oil some eonsid- eration yesterday and a resumption of | the discussion, it was declared by lead CTS tonight, obviously will bring a con tinuation of the heated debate which fol- lowed introduction of the Treadway amendment to put crude and fuel oil on 1 the free list !

In the meantime however. the house nas to dispose of the oil question and take votes on raw cot. ton and asphalt.
 i whether cotton should be transferred !! to the -dutiabie list presents another problem likely to bring a stormy session and leaders said probably would be a : repetition of the fight for 8 duty on hides. Democratic members of the house from cotton growing states announced after informal conferences today that al. most a solid party vote would be cast lagainst the republican amendment pro viding a duty of ten per cent. ad valo. rem on raw cotton
 Representative Garrett, acting demo | cratic leader, declared in a statemen that the 'iniquity of the proposal wa: glaringly apparent" in view of the ad mission by republican members Of tn, ways and means committee that it would not increase the price paid the farne, | for his product and thate"the only ex hcuse for the tax was to enable repuh!i
