According to at least one of the

MANIFEST TO OF

NOGALES, Nov 30. N1--A revolu-

been issued over the name of General
Nicolas Fernandez, former officer un-
der Pancho villa, and said to be now
heading band of chihuahua rebels,
appeared on the streets of Nogales,
Sonora, last night.
1t directs the Mexican peoples at
tention to the battle cry of the insur-
gent Yaqui Indians, Viva De La
Huerta," which, it declares, is being
re echoed over all Mexico. General
Alvaro Obregon, former president OF
the republic, is referred to as a tragic
clown" and the people are urged to
support Adolfo De La Huerta, former
provisional president, who few days
ago in Los Angeles announced that
20. 900 men in Mexico were in open re-
bellion againstt the central govern
ment.
The paper declares that restrictive
laws relative to worship and liberty OF
conscience, confiscatory powers and
favoritism are sufficient to arouse the
sons of the soil"
Francisco Ibarra, %, a resident OF
the state of Jalisco, was arrested last
night in connection with the distribu-
ton of the manifesto, but today was
released because there was insufficient
evidence to charge him with sedition

TEACHERS HEAR
TALKS
ON THEIR WORK

A powerful address by ]. A. Sexson,
superintendent of the Bisbee schools
and chairman of the Legislative COM
mittee, urging opposition to any leg
islation dealing with what is taught in
the public schools, was the feature of
the second day of the annual meeting
of the Southern District State Teach
ers' association now being held at Bis
bee other outstanding features of the
days work were decision to abolish
girls basketball in the schools, adop-
ton of a plan by the commercial sec
tion to establish inter-city tipping con-
tests and the excellent entertainment
numbers furnished by Douglas high
school organizations.
Superintendent Sexson, in his adj
dress, mentioned the people who are
opposed to legislation favorable 10 the
schools. He urged the assembled
teachers to support the state associa-
tion wholeheartedly so that delegates
from that body could use their influ-
ence in showing the attitude of the
schools toward legislation. He pro-
posed that these delegates, rather than
the legislators, should supervise the
drafting of all bills pertaining to the
schools because of the fact that they
are in closer touch with the needs OF
the schools and have their interests
keenly at heart.
The entertainment numbers furnish
ed by the Douglas high school boys
glee club, the boys quartet and the
girls quartet proved an outstanding
feature of the convention. These or
CARNATIONS, all of which are under the
direction Of Miss Anna Belle Driskill
musical director of the Douglas high
school, were called back for encores on
every number. Pale Moon" by the
boys quartet, and "Sleep, Little Child

feature numbers.

DENIES PART IN.
DOUBLE MURDER.

SoMERvILLE, N. j., Nov. %. QP-
jury today that he had absolutely
nothing at all" to do with, the murder
of Mrs. Eleanor II. Mills and the Rev.
Edward w. Hall, and knows nothing
at all' about it.
The defendant, on trial with his
brother, Henry, and his sister, Mrs.
Frances Stevens Hall, on charge of
numbering Mrs. Mills, told his story
on direct examination in 25 minutes,
and had been cross examined for 55
minutes when court adjourned for the
day. He will resume the witness stand
tomorrow.
The defendant testified in his own
behalf in the afternoon, after all the
previous testimony of the day had
been concluded, with calling card of
the Rev. Mr.. Hall introduced in evil
dence by the state as found near the
body of the slain minister and which.
according to state experts, bears the
imprint of the left index finger of
Willie Stevens.
A trio of defense fingerprint experts
testified that the imprint on the card
was not that of the defendant.
With huge enlarged photographs Of
the print in evidence, and Willie Stew
ems own. fingerprint, J. H. Taylor of
the navy department.; Frederick Sand
berg of the Washington police, and
Gerhardt Kuhne of the New York po-
lice, pointed out to the jury discrep-
ancies in the two prints as they found
them.
Willie Stevens quickly denied he ewas
in or near North Plainfield the night
of the Staying of his brother-in law
and Mrs. Mills, as was testified to by
two state witnesses. He said he had
never worn derby hat. had never suf-
fered from epilepsy, and did not wear
a gold watch, characteristics of the
man described in the testimony linking
the defendant with North Plainfield
He explained at the outset of his
testimony that he was not member
of the church of which his brother-in-
law was rector, but was commnnicant
Of Christ Episcopal church, New
Brunswick He said that he knew
Mrs. Mills very slightly and that
his relations with Mrs. Hall We're
very cordial"
The witness gave his answers in an
emphatic voice, but during his direct
examination S h wed extraordinary
vigor only when he told of what he
described as a severe grilling" by de-
tectives when he declared the investi-
gators "cursed me and did everything
but strike me-"
He was questioned by Clarence r.
volver Willie said he owned such a
weapon of the hammerless type and
in 1922 had had it for Is or 20 years.
1t had not been used for years, he
said, and was last fired with blank
cartridges as a part of Fourth of
July demonstration.

SUPREME COURT
PASSES ON TWO
DRY LAW CASES

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23 up - Cases
seaboards were drawn up today by
the supreme court to furnish examples
of what can and cannot be done with
vehicles seized for illegal transporta-
tion of liquor.
Deciding a case from Washington
state, the court held that when a
liquor laden automobile is taken in
under the prohibition law the govern
ment cannot later invoke the drastic
provisions of the old internal revenue
laws in such a way as to deprive inno-
cent owners of the vehicle, such as au-
tomobile companies, selling on the in
stallment plan, of all right to seek
restoration of their property. Another
decision in case appealed from Rhode
island dealt directly with the rela-
tionship between states and federal
authorities when they both are con-
cerned in rum seizure. The court de-
cided that the motor boat Ray of
Block Island captured by Providence
police with liquor aboard, could law
fully be turned over to federal prohi-
bition agents even though no federal
officer assisted in the capture.
AT the same session the court al
lowed an appeal in the case of the
steamer Underwater, designed to test
the authority of the coast guard to
make rum seizures outside the 12mile
limit, but refused to review the action
! of lower courts in sustaining seizure
of the steam tug Esther M. Rendle OF
Boston on charge of towing a liquor
laden steamer into port. The Under
writer, an American vessel was taken
"a miles off Block Island and her
owner was overruled IN the lower
courts when ,he protested Fhat Ne
government had stepped outside its
jurisdiction.

(AP) The agreement be-

tractors who install such
work, and representatives of
the Chica go carpenters
union, under which the lat
ter would not be required
to install non-union made

the supreme court today to
be a violation of the Sher-

opinion by Justice Nc
Reynolds, the court review
ed the action of the circuit
court setting aside the corr
viction Of the men involved,

agreement was merely an
arrangement under which

QUEEN TO SAIL
IT ODAY AT Fl;
HAS HECTIC DAY

NEW YORK, Nov. 23 R)-Queen
Marie's American tour came to a
close tonight. after another hectic
day of sightseeing by land and water
and radio speech in which she said
goodbye to hundreds of thousands
who watched her progress across the
country.
She will sail for Paris tomorrow at
IL o'clock on the Berengaria, having
arranged to board the ship tonight
after farewell dinner at the Vim
cent Astor home.
The days program separated and
reunited Marie, Prince Nicolas and
Princess Ileana at intervals, the
prince joining his mother after a late
sleep and an inspection of the Charles
E. Mitchell Tuxedo home, where the
royal party has lived, and Ileana
meeting them after motor trip to
West Point, where she had lunch
with a few cadets.
Although the last day of the Ameri-
can. visit was crowded with scheduled
events, it nevertheless afforded Marie
one of the most informal and restful
periods of her tour. The opportunity
to momentarily forget her royal posi-
tion came during the few hours of
her trip around the harboar aboard
the tug Charlie White of the Stand
ard On'Company of New Jersey.
Although the tugs workaday ap-
pearance was CLOSED over with new
paint, flower covered cabin walls and
Rumanian colors, its informality was
preserved by the arrangement OF
small tables in the cabin, where the
queen and her hosts lunched and
chatted as they inspected the sky
line.

along the waterfront to Bayonne, n

club pier, special caterers served tbs

Smouldering Disputes With Mexico Over the
Application Of Her New Land Laws as to
American Oil-Mine Interests Near Showdown

WASHINGTON, Nov. %. A9-Smoul-
dering disputes with Mexico over ap-
plication of her icw laws 20 American
oil and mining interests are drawing
to a showdown.
On January l foreign Oil and land
owners in Mexico must agree not to
seek diplomatic protection of their
home governments for their holdings
or, by the new laws, they must forfeit
them to the Mexican government.
1t is not expected that the foreign
companies will do that.
Without comment the state depart
ment published today the hitherto Sc
cret correspondence with the Mexican
government on the subject. The Gales
government bluntly takes the position
that Mexico is passing to new own
ership system of naturalization OF
natural resources which requires
that old rights adjust themselves to
new principles "in the general interests
of the nation
The American government takes the
position that without the assurances
given in 1928, that the new govern
ment in Mexico would respect foreign
| rights and property, recognition by the
! United States never would have been
extended.
AS a possible key to what may hap
pen if the Gales government persists
in it's course, the reference to recogni-
tion may furnish a clue. One form OF
action between governments in such
cases is the withdrawal of an ambas-
sador
1t would not be unprecedented if
! Ambassador Sheffield, ell route today
from Cuba to Vera Cruz on his way to
! Mexico City, were recalled. Such a
step is short of a break in diplomatic
relations, which only is accomplished
/ by the departure of embassy staffs OF
4 both countries.
In diplomatic history breaks in dip
lomatic relations between first class
powers always have been followed by
war. Such, however, has not always
been the case in relations between the
United States and Latin-America.
The Mexican government has beer
warned, between the lines at least
that diplomatic relations will be en-.
dangered if it deprives American citt.
i zens in Mexico "of the full ownership
and enjoyment of their property
rights.
The Mexican government has replied
calling upon the United States for "thC
