requiring importers to pay duty
on shipments Of flour. This proved
satisfactory to millers and wheat
growers, but was not SO pleasing
to bakers and consumers, espe-

decision to remove the import

Many other steps have been
taken to prevent, if possible, dis

these was the reduction of the ex-

tariffs providing for reduction
OF 20 per cent in the rates on cat

Rebels Plot
Removal
OF Obregon
Assassination of Pres
ident Planned by
Leaders of New Up
rising

Mexico city, Sept. 1s.-As the
rebellion In Chiapas closely fol-
lowed the assassination OF Gen-
eral Jorge Bluhm In that state, 1t
Is reported here that the murder
OF the general was part OF the rev.
olutionary plot, although no eyf-
dence has been presented In sup
port OF this supposition.
The leaders In the new uprising
are men OF greater distinction
than those who have engaged In
revolutionary movements for
some time. One is Colonel Pablo
Villanueva, former governor Of
Chiapas, and another is General
Aquileo Juarez OF Tabasco, who
was a man of considerable infiu-
ence during the administration of
President Carranza. These two
have the support Of several form
er army officers Of better stand
ing than the usual half bandit re-
bells, Colonel Hector Macias, who
IS known here, is said to be with
the new revolutionary army.
Juarez and Villanueya made
their preparations for revolt in
Guatemala and crossed the line
with a small force, chiefly Off
GERS. They were Joined on the
Mexican side by reinforcements.
Operations, 1t is reported, have
been commenced In both the state
OF Chiapas and Tabasco.
Rumors are afloat here that |
General Greene, former governor
OF Tabasco, is in sympathy with
the revolt and may take the field.
This would greatly increase the

Mexico Lifts
Flour Tariff;
Fears Famine

Mexico City, Sept. 19.--Econ-
omists in Mexico are finding that
experiments in protection call for
as much caution as experiments In

The latest experiment to fail

to remove the new import duty on
flour beginning October /.
Millers, among whom are many
Influential men in Mexico, a few
months ago appealed to the gov.

This question was to have been settled at Spa, but some of the nations took exceptions to the pro rata shares that were allotted by the Supreme Council.
 Delegates representing the finance ministers of all the interested powers are taking part in the conferences.
 France, England, Belgium and Italy are sticking to the percentages allotted to them at Spa, but the small nations that were associated with the big Allies in the war are quarrelling over the share allotted to thenl-
 Representatives of the chief allied nations were disposed to lump the residue, after subtracting the sums granted to Great Britain. France, Bel gium and Italy and some of the little countries were seized with the fear that they were not going to get enough.

That the suit brought against the Liberty Manufacturing company or Bridgeoort, by 314 stockholders IS the result of a battle for stock con trol. was the statement made today by a local man who is in close touch with the situation. An indication that this fact might be in part re- sponsible for the trouble is contain ed in one of the 13 complaints, III which it is alleged that prospective stock buyers were informed that no one person would hold more than nine per cent. of the stock. The plaintiffs charge that this agreement was violated when Joseph S Lash secured 51 per cent of the stock in payment for a license to manufacture the Cameron motor.
 It was said this morning, that the eompany's agentD sold stock to more than 2,O0O persons, and that the plaintiffs who have brought suit rep resent only a small minority of the For this reason it is that the case may never be brought to trial, though it has been scheduled to be heard during the September term of the Superior court

 Dear Sir: It is evident that the Plaza, as it is today, is a waste ot valuable property It seems that ii should be used in some manner thaf would be of the geratest good to the gera test number of citizens or else put in such condition that 1t could be a source of income to the city, from rentals.
 Unless it was extending to the waterfront it would be. useless as a park.
