CALL SPECIAL CONGRESS

According to reports from Eagle
Pass, serious disorders occurred at
Rosales, Coahuila. on the first of the
year. Doctor Alfonzo Cervera, an ap-
pointee of Governor Arnulfo Gonzales,
proceeded to the municipal palace to be
installed as mayor of the city, the re-
ports say, and when reaching the mu-
nicipal building with his friends, he
found that Ramon Santos and his ticket
that had declared defeated by the
Gonzales legislature, had taken pos
session of the building and the offices.
Two dynamite bombs were hurled from
the building at the approaching crowd,
and this precipitated firing of rifles and
pistols.
The Cervera crowd withdrew outside
the city, where they were reinforced
BY adherents, while the Santos crowd
asked the military authorities at Al
lende to send them achievements to
hold the municipal building. The cas-
ualties are not known. This has arisen
over the open break between Gen. Ar
nulfo Gonzales, governor of Coahuila,
and Minister of the Interior Plutarco
Elias Gales.
Another report reaching this city,
from Mexico, is the fact that Governor
Neri. of the State of Guerrero, acting
under instructions OF Minister Elias
Gales, had arrested all of the men,
bers of the independent state legislature
and sent them prisoners to Igula under
an armed escort The congressman from
the State of Guerrero have petitioned
President Oregon TO order the removal
of Governor Neri, and to give pro-
lection and guarantees TO the arrested
state legislators.
Special Congressional Session.
Secretary of Finance De la Huerta
has isgged bulletin to the effect that
the National congress will convene in
a special or extraordinary session on
the fifteenth, to pass legislation creating
the Banco Unico or a national bank of
emission. According to De la Huerta
sufficient votes are pledged to secure the
enactment of the law, and the Bank Of
Mexico will be ready to open for bust
ness in February.
1t is believed by government officials.
that the creation of this new govern
ment bank, will solve the pitiful finan.
cial situation in Mexico, caused by the
failure of so many banks and the
wiping out of millions of dollars Of the
deposits.
