MEXICO CITY, June 20.--Renewed
rumors of imminent radical uprisings
in Mexico, which have come into wide
circulation here, mention Jalisco and
Michoacan as possible centers of new
Soviet republic" Details of the sup
posed pot are vague, but the date set
for the uprising in the rumors varied
from Tuesday to Saturday of this
week.
Prominent officials oe the present
Mexican government are mentioned in
connection with the uprising, although
little credence is given here to such re-
ports. Considerable unrest exists,
however.
Renewed activity among Mexican
refugees in the United States prepara-
tory to launching the new revolution
airy movement is said to exist, accord

Mexico
Alfredo Robles Dominguez is gem
orally considered the head of this
movement with Esteban Cantl. Secre-
tary Of War, its commander in chief.
Ignacio Bonillas, whose candidacy for
President of Mexico precipita ted the

State Bonus

York, and Chester S, Pugsley, of
Peekskill.
Attorney General Newton claimed
the law TO be "lump pension" and an
appropriation os .he puni!c funds for
public purpose The contention of
Mr.. Marshall was that the bonus could
not be construed as a project for the
entire publics welfare and constituted
violation Of the tax laws, being tax
alton for an unlawful purpose.
Legality of Pensions Upheld
In affirming the constitutionality of
the law Attorney General Newton
pointed to the legality of pensions
given in recognition of past services
in times of war. 1t was argued that
the confscation or use by the govern
ment OF privately owned property en-
titled the owners to compensation and
held that the induction of men into
the war constituted confscation of
their persons during the emergency.
Edward n. Scheiberling and Samuel
B. Aronowitz, OF Albany. members of
the legal committee of the state de-
partment of the American Legion, aided
in the preparation Of the brief and
were in court for presentation of the
arguments. Charles q. Blakeslee, the
state commander. also was present.
Attorney General Newton's basic ar
guments were.
The state always had inherent
power to grant pension or gratuity
to resident veterans of the wars. The
amendments to the state constitution
made in 1874 did not limit this inher-
ent power of the state, but applied at
most to cities. towns and counties.
The soldiers bonus will be expended
for public purpose founded upon
good morals. equity and justice, and as
such is valid under first principles and
the constitutions of New York State
and the United States.
The state will not advertise the pub
lie sale of the bonus bonds until next
fall, according to information reaching
investment bankers here yesterday.
While no explanation was given for
the decision of the Albany authorities
to defer the sale of the bonds several
months, the view of investment experts
was that market conditions would
probably be more favorable in the au-
tumn and the state would likely obtain
a better price for the bonds at that
time.

Weeks Warns
Must Sif Up, Take Notice as
Others Prepare for War;
Disarming Limited by I'm
formation Not Divulged
Washington Only Judge
Tells Tufts College Class
That While We Are Reduc-
ing Europe Is Battlefield

MEDFORD, Mass, June 20.--The
present Administration is desirous Of
disarming so far as it is safe to go,
but it is not the time to make a move
for everlasting peace, Secretary of War
John w. Weeks said in a commence
ment address at Tufts College to-day.
"When we see nations preparing for
war, making greater preparations in
time of peace than during the war, we
must sit up and take notice." he de-
clared.
He said the Administration had in
formation which made it the only COM
petent judge as to how far it was safe
to go in the matter of disarmament
Woman Asks Sex to Bring Peace
Replying to an address by Alice D.
Bamber, graduate OF jackson College,
the women's college at Tufts. who
voiced the hope that women would
bring the world to peace, Secretary
Weeks said:
"lf the women can do anything to
permanently prevent war thank God
for it. 1t is not the purpose of my
department. to make war. never
knew any one who wanted war. Ask
any Grand Army veteran, ask any of
the young men who took part in the
recent war. You will find the answer
is, no one wants to fight. But it is
impossible to become calm in a mo-
ment after some great struggle.
THE present Administration is most
0esirous to have disarmament as far
as 1t is safe to go. But we must ask
that we be the judges of just what
this degree is, for we have informa
ton which we cannot divulge, obtained
in reliable and complete manner
which makes us the only competent
judges.
Reminds of Conflicts Abroad
"When we see nations preparing for
war; making greater preparations in
times of peace than during the war;
we must sit up and take notice. Eng
many foreign nations are in conflict
and it is not the time for US to make
move for everlasting peace. When the
time comes for that move we will
make it. We have reduced our fight
ing forces as far as possible and by
the end of another. year our army will
be reduced to 10000 men"
The honorary degree of Doctor of
Laws was conferred upon Mr.. Weeks
and the degree of Master of Arts on

ambassador. Antonio Molina and Sera-
fico Canales are reported as having
been appointed to command the Sonora
and Chihuahua movements.
Arms Are Captured
The Department of War reports the
capture OF large stores Of contraband
arms and ammunition near Nogales
which evidently were intended for the
uprising. War authorities say that all
precautions are being taken to cope
with any effort of the disgruntled
elements to cross the border from the
United States or to start movement
here. The officials, however, are evil
IDENTIFY worried over the situation.
The United States government was
severely criticized for it's failure to
recognize President Obrcgon, in a
speech to-day by former Governor
Octaviano A. Larrazola of New Mexico
before the international Commercial
Congress at its first session here. The
president of the Ell Paso Chamber of
Commerce and director of the Ell Paso
Round Table also expressed rcscntful
views on the American attitude toward
Mexico.
Diplomats Surprised
President Obregon was present at
the session, as were Seho1 PAM, For
eign Minister. and Rafael Zubaran
Capmany, Secretary of Commerce and
Industry. but they remained unper
tuIbed during the speeches and re-
trained from comment on international
questions.
French, Italian. Spanish and Mexican
speakers carefully avoided any men
tlon of the present international tan
gle. MIR. Larrazola declared that mem
ters Of the peace excursion" which
attended the inauguration of General
Obregon, returned to the United States
to become apostles OF Obregons rec
ognition." He attacked the diplomatic
corps, saying they are continually
finding trouble where there is none"
He expressed the hope that the COM
mercial congress would result in hast
ening full recognition, after which dif-
hculties would disappear.
Members of the diplomatic corps
kcre expressed surprise at former
American official criticizing the policy
of his government in the presence Of
the head of the nation principally in

fully Informed OF the utterances of

LOCAL TRADING
WAS COLORLESS
More Than Usual Interest in
Baldwin Dividend Meeting
This Week

Trading in the local market remained
altogether colorless as well as unpro-
ductive in so far as price changes were
concerned. No response whatever was
made to the rebound In the larger mar
ket, but as there was practically no
short interest there was nothing to work
on. Lacking this nucleus, the trading
was. In consequence, of a perfunctory
type.
Less than a half dozen shares sue
ceeded in reaching a turnover in excess
of 100 shares. In that the bulk Of tie
transactions were made up of small odd
lots, the small totals were to be ex
pectsd. Notwithstanding the strength
cning pof the rails IN New York,
Penusylvania again shaded under 80.
