GO
ON TRIAL soon,
D|SPATCHSAYS
Friends Here Troubled Over
Reports That kidnapping Case ,
Is Being Reopened.

Associates of A. Bruce Bielaski,
under surveillance by the Mexican
government, have received a tele-
gram from him which has greatly
disturbed them, according to reliable
information, last night. 49,.
The telegram Is understood to have
been the reverse OF optimistic re-
ports regarding the outcome of the
charges against him that he had
himself kidnapped in a plot to dis
credit the Obregon administration.
Coincidentally With Ithis report
came advices from Mexico City that
the former chief of the bureau Of in
vestigation OF the Department OF JUS
tice was to be taken to Cuernavaca,
where the case against him is being
reconstructed" ...
Imprisonment Unlikely.
well.informed persons said it was
unlikely that Bielaski would be
thrown into prison unless he at.
tempts to flee the country.
The Mexican government Is said
to be determined to expose fully
plots and conspiracies OF certain
American oil interests to discredit the
administration of President Obregon
by fake kidnapings ana pald upfls"
ings of Mexican bandits.
The State Department here today
said that II had not as yet received
an affidavit from NJ. X. Simmons at
San Antonia. to the effect that the
charges Of self-abduction against
Bielaski and Mexican associates had
been framed" and that the kid
naping" was genuine.
Not Expected to Resist.
BieIaski is not expected to resist
his removal from the American con-
sulate at Mexico City to Cuernavaca.
but II he does. the Mexican govern
meat will request the American
State Department to turn him over
TO the Cuernavaca authorities for
trial under the laws Of the State Of
Morelos. which makes the charges
against him. Such a request, 1t Is
said, could not be disregarded.

"The Federal fuel distributor will

coal surplus and will undertake to
see that coal is sold to the central

The state purchasing agencies will
indicate the destinations within the

The Federal distribution will pro-
