MEXICAN INSURGENTS
EVACUATE PUEBLA
E.eXiCan nnent Forces
Fighting for City 70 Miles
Frc 0--.pital
(By The Associated Press }.

The Mexican government forces
moving east from the capital have
come into direct contact with the
rebel columns operating from Vera
Cruz, and fighting for the possession
of ApiZaco, 70 miles east of Mexico
City is reported.
The battle went on all day yester-
day, according to dispatches received
through Vera Cruz, where the
rebels maintain their headquarters,
but no indication of the possible out
come has been received. Rebel re-
Inducements are being hurried to
the scene from the coast.
Belated advices from Mexico City
say the rebels evacuated Puebla City,
southeast of the capital, last night.
While not admitting the truth of
this, the rebels through their Vera
Cruz headquarters announced "a
change in plan" whereby their forces
from Puebla advanced upon APP
izaco' for the purpose of consolidat-
ing railway communications
The rebels also admitted that
fighting was proceeding at San
Marcos, the railway center east of
Puebla and southeast of ApiZaco,
which might indicate that a body of
federals had succeeded in thanking
the rebels in Puebla City and thus
forcing their evacuation.
News regarding the operations in
the zone to the west of Mexico City
is completely lacking in the meagre
government advices reaching the
United States, but the rebels say
President Obregon was compelled in
the face of superior forces under
General Enrique Estrada to with
draw his troops from Irapuato in
Guanajuato, and from the states of
San Luis Potosi and Tamaupipas.
MEXICO CITY, Dec. IT (By The
Associated Press) ).-Revolutionary
forces evacuated Puebla tonight and
federal troops have occupied the
city, according to a war department
announcement.

CLARK-M CURE
COMBINE WINS
With SofieId and Reidy, Police
Ordinance is Beaten at
Meeting of Aldermen
CLARK LEADS IN FIGHT
Mcclure Appears to Have
Lined up With Clark in
all Matters
"An instrument of confusion"

All lnSlEulueHl VI COIll uoAOb'
This was the title given to the
police ordinance by Alderman John
j. Clark, when it came up for second
and third readings at the meeting
of the Board of Aldermen last night.
Whether or not it was due to the
fight put up against the ordinance
by Alderman Clark, the much talked
of document, containing the So
called Ku Klux Klan clause was
killed for the time being, the vote
resulting as follows;
Sofield, Clark, Riedy, Mcclure,
against, and Waters, Patten and Gal
vim for its adoption.
Throughout the meeting consider
able comment was heard concern
ing the friendly relationship, exist
ing between Alderman Clark and
Alderman Mcclure and the fact that
Alderman McGuire's vote in each in
stance favored Clarks motions.
Following the reading of this or
dinance, which took almost a half
hour, Alderman Clark began to pick
it apart, section by section. He
declared the ordinance had some
good stuff in it but other stuff that
spoiled 1t.
Some of the objections made by
Mr.. Clark to the ordinance were
that a new ordinance must be drawn
up by the city attorney each time
policemen are appointed, which
makes added expense. That the
mayor must advise with the alder
men when making appointments. He
declared he would not vote to take
the power away from a Republican

Three ordinances aimed at the ac-
tivities of the Ku Klux Klan, al
though not mentioning this organiza-
ton. were introduced at the meeting
of the Board of Aldermen last night
by Alderman John j. Clark and met
with disastrous results when voted
upon. These ordinances were the
same as those adopted recently IN

the granting of permits for paraaes
by the mayor, but made 1t unlaw1ul
for him to grant a permit or permlts
to those who might desire to parade
attired in a mask or other device SO
that the identity of such person or
persons assembling or parading Is
hidden.
Following the reading of this or
dinance, Alderman Clark moved
its adontion ON first reading. AL
derman Albert G.. Waters, at once
declared that he had no opportunity
to go over it and declared there is
no occasion for such an ordinance at
the present time. Alderman Clark
then pointed out there is plenty of
time to read the ordinance between

AldermenN Soi1eld, MCGUIRE and
Clark voting for the adoption of the
ordinance and Aldermen Waters,

Alderman Sofield stated that he
voted for the ordinance with the un-
derstanding that he might change
his vote at the next reading.
The second ordinance was then
read. This ordinance declared 1t to
be unlawful for any one to assemble
or parade on the streets of the city
while attired in masks or other de-
vices so that identity is hidden and
made the penalty for this offense
5000 fine or ninety days in jail. Sec
ton of this ordinance read: "The

declared to include any individual,

NEW SETBACK
FOR CONGRESS
Mellon Tax Program Move
Ahead of Bonus is Plan
of Leaders

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S-Repub-
lican leaders of the House who per-
fected the committee organization
yesterday after delay of two
weeks, encountered a fresh setback
today when they made their first
attempt to begin the legislative busi-
ness of the session. A meeting of
the ways and means committee at
VIII. h the administration managers
had planned to take up the Mellon
tax program ahead OF the soldier
bonus question, was suddenly can
celled: No date was fixed for an
other meeting, but Chairman Green
said he hoped to be in a position to
call the members together tomorrow
The Republican leaders made no
explanation of the upset in plans,
nut some of the Democrats declared
the delay was due to fear that in
sufficient votes could be mustered
behind the proposal to put taxa
tion ahead of the bonus.
AS the senate re-assembled today
to resume balloting there were con-
ficting predictions as to the outcome
of the craftsmanship fight. In some
quarters it was asserted that enough
insurgent votes to elect Senator
Smith would be thrown to him dur
ing today's voting, but some were of
the opinion that there would be no
break in the deadlock for days to
come.
Senator Watson, Republican, In
diana, discussed the senate organiza-
ton contest with President Coolidge
and also talked to the executive
about legislation soon to come be-
fore the senate. Asked as to whether
the President had expressed any
view on the prospect of the election
of Senator Smith, the Indiana sena-
tor replied.
"The President, of course, doesn't
feel any too comfortable over the
prospect of having a Democrat as
chairman of one of the most impor-
tant senate committees, but Senator
Smith Is a conservative and Will not
be altogether Objectionable"
Demands for priority for a bonus
bill have been made both by Repre-
sentative Rainey of Illinois, DEM
ocratic member of the committee,
and by Representative Frear of Wis
consin, a Republican member be-
longing to those followers of Robert
M. LaFollette, who delayed organiza-
ton of the House and still are hold
ing the senate in deadlock over the
election of chairman of the Inter-
state Commerce Committee.
Whether there was any real pros
pect of a mocratic-insurgent COM
bination against the administration
tax plans was not revealed, but 1t
was apparent the Republican lead
ers were moving cautiously in the
light of their experiences of the first
two weeks of the new congress.
The threat of a combination of
forces between Democrats and the
insurgents to elect Senator Smith, of
South Carolina, a Democrat, chair
man of the senate Interstate Com
merce Committee still hung over the
senate when it reconvened today to
resume balloting. Some leaders
thought break to Smith might take
place before the end of today's ses-
sion.

WHITE |SF|NED
5000 IN COURT.
Change Sentence of Former
Postmaster Who is now
at Liberty

NEWARK, Dec. 18:-Richard f.
White, formerly postmaster at Perth
Amboy. was fined $500 in federal
court here yesterday afternoon by
Judge Runyon following his plea of
guilty last week to an indictment
charging him with the theft of par
eel post matter. White paid the fine
Immediately and was released from
custody.
The imposition of the fine came
some time after Judge Runyon had
sentenced the Perth Amboy man to
serve one year and one day in the
federal penitentiary at Atlanta. AL
though State Senator Mackay,
Whites counsel, spoke in his behalf
and read a number of letters from
physicians and friends, stating that
Whites physical condition would not
stand a prison sentence, the court
imposed the year and a day penalty
in the penitentiary.
This sentence was imposed at the
morning session. When the court
reconvened in the afternoon 1t was
announced by Judge Runyon that he
had reconsldered the case and had
decided to recall the jail sentence
and impose a $500 fine.
The court said:
II don't want to err on the side of
severity. I should rather err on the
opposite side. This mans physical
condition is such that I don't really
believe he knew what he was doing.
Also, the articles were trivial. A
man under normal conditions would
not have done this. I understand
that he is addicted to the use of
drugs. l am doing this because of
his physical condition, his years, be-
cause of his previous good record
and because the articles were left in
his locker"

The American government. as the
President said in his message to the
congress, is not proposing to barter
away its principles.
III the Soviet authorities are
ready to restore the confiscated
property of American citizens or
m Ike effective compensation, they
can do so. If the Soviet authori-
ties aro ready to repeal their decree
repudiating Russia's obligations to
this county and recognized them,
they can do so. 1t requires no con-
ference or negotiations to accom-
plish these results, which can and
should be achieved at Moscow as
evid ance of good faith.
THE e-merican government has
not incurred liabilities to Russia or
repudiated obligations most serious
is the continued propaganda to over
throw institutions of this country
This government can enter into no
negotiations until these efforts direct
ed from Moscow are abandoned"

ciated Press liking George and
Queen Elizabeth will leave Athens
tonight for Rumania, it is announce
ed by the newspapers here today
ATHENS, Dec. Is (By The Asso
ciated Press) The government las
night informed King George in writ
ing that it considered 1t advisable
for him to leave Greece until the
national assembly had decided on
the regime best befitting TIE coun-
try. The king reserved his reply
until today.
LONDON. Dec. IS (By The Asso-
ciated Press) The expulsion oil
King George from Greece, an
nounced by today's dispatches from
Athens, drew forth comment from
dlplomatists in London upon the
notable tendencies toward democ-
racy manifested by the countries of
Europe during the last six years.
The exile of George from Greece,
they observed, represented the tenth
king who had been forced to make
his exit since the war, the monarchs
previously affected being those OF
Russia. Germany, Austria, Bulgaria
I L u .
Egypt and the kings of the German
federated states such as Bavaria.
1t was also noted that numbers Of
other countries had thrown off the
yoke OF royalty, Poland, the Baltic
states and Czechoslovakia being in
stanced.
The news of the action taken in
Athens toward the Greek monarchs
was received with intense interest by
the government and the public. 1t
was recalled that Great Britain, as
the traditional sponsor and protector
of the Greek kingdom since 1921.
has particular reason to view with
anxiety and disapproval the sudden
dethronement OF the young king and
queen who, 1t is held here, acted
throughout their short reign with
discretion and circumspection.
But whatever effect the extinction
of royal institutions in Greece will
have in England, it's repercussion
upon the royal houses in all the
Balkan countries is thought likely
in diplomatic quarters to be much
more important. Those in touch
with Near Eastern affairs point out
that today's sensational events IN
Athens mean the shattering of the
Queen of Rumanias dream of a
powerful Balkan federation whose
members would be dominated by
herself or her children.
LONDON, Dec. 1S:-An agency
dispatch from Athens says that King
and Queen are leaving for Rumania
tonight without signing any DEGREES
and that Admiral Koundouriotis Will
be appointed regent,
Anoter telegram reports that
delegation representing the army
and navy last evening informed Col
onel Plastiras that the officers OF
both services regarded the removal
of the dynasty as national neces-
sity.
