Declares Gomez Is Doomed
to Fail as Movement was
Premature.
SPEAKS IN U. S.
PaIavincini Makes Signed
Statement When III e
Reaches Laredo.

LAREDO, Texas, Oct. IL R-Gen-
eral Francisco Serrano is the only man
responsible for all the blood being shed
in Mexico, and General Arnulfo Gomez
is his most affected victim, Felix F.
Palavicini, founder and former pub
Usher of Ell Universal of Mexico City,
reported here today by the Mexican
government, declared in signed state
ment upon his arrival on the American
side of the border. Palavicini denied
that he was implicated in the revolu-
tionary movement as charged by the
government.
'se am not a member of the present
revolutionary faction I am simply for
the anti-re-elect ticket" the state
ment said. TN other words, am op-
posed to reelection and General Al
varo Obregons activities, for it is alb
surd to be otherwise after II years of
fighting for the no reelection prin-
ciple.
'sThe mutiny of troops was plotted
by General Serrano. His plan was to
leave Mexico City and go to Cuer-
navaca, where he had loyal soldiers,
and then march on the capital, but
President Gales discovered his plans
and removed the garrison at Cuerna-
vaca. When General Serrano and his
party arrived, he found different
troops. He was captured, court mar
tialed and executed.
s'The plan foiled, General Gomez
was forced to flee, and all civilian
sympathizers with the arti-re-election
party went into hiding" The publish
er's statement continued.
General Gomez is doomed to fail
in his revolutionary movement. The
Mexican government is too strong
Besides, the movement was premature
and was marked to fail in its very be-
ginning because of General Serrano's
futile plans. General Gomez will be
forced to leave the country and
abandon his revolutionary venture or
firing squad will take his life.'
General ,Obregon will be the next
president of Mexico and the entire
country will be in a state of chaos, in
the opinion of Palavicini The people
of Mexico are opposed to reelection
but Gales will impose General Obre-
gon upon them even against their will
But, although the revolution will fail
the civilian element of Mexico will
continue the struggle to bring about a
government of tolerance, capable of
giving Mexico peace, the statement
said
When Palavicini was arrested in
Mexico City it was not for hiding in
disguise, he said He was kept in a
military fortress since the day of his
arrest, october 6, until IL minutes be-
fore the departure of the train which
brought him to the United tates, he
declared, adding that several rebels

federations of labor and city central
bodies inevitably leads to the con-
cluSion that their authors are more
concerned in pointing the finger of
criticism at the government than
they are in aScertaining the facts
regarding the subject they attempt
to discuss"
After affirming the Monroe Doc
trine, the report continued:
"It may be that the Nicaraguan
situation in Central America was
considered sufficient by the authors
of the resolution to base the general
charge with reference to the South
American republics. The committee
believes it proper to point out that
President Green civilian Green, of
the Federation) acting as president
of the American Federation of La
Dor and president of the Pan-Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, has already
taken the Nicaraguan situation up
with the United States government
in an effort to be helpful to the
Nicaraguan people. That, however, is
subject which is before another
committee which will doubtless re-
port fully concerning it,"
Referring to the resolutions crit
icism of the United States sending
warships and troops to China" the
report said:
'As to China, the Chinese problem
in it's present aspects is the result
of past interferences and interven-
tions on the part of foreign govern
ments in the internal affairs of Chi
ma. In that respect our government
has committed errors. A mere with
drawal now would simply result in
giving certain other nations involved
an opportunity, if they are so in
clined, to use so-called American in
terests in China to further eu1broil
our government. President Green
and the executive council are, we
understand, giving earnest thought
and study to the problem as to what
procedure is most likely to enable the
United States further to prevent err
ror with reference to China"
The report expressed hope that
the United States would again
adopt the policy which in the main
it adhered to during the first CEN
tury Of our national life, policy
based upon the proposition that
Americans and so-called American
interests in foreign countries must
abide by and accept the consequences
of the laws of such countries, just
as foreigners and foreign interests
within our borders must abide by and
accept the consequences of American
law"
The committees report was unan-
imously adopted by the delegates
without debate.

FRIENDS NOT ALARMED

LAKELAND, Fla, Oct. IL uF9 =
Lakeland friends of Ruth Elder and
Captain George Haldeman, feel no
alarm over the absence of reports from
ships along the route being taken by
the american Girl" from New York
to Paris.
Captain Haldeman expected to fly
very high over the entire route as
soon as the lessened load of gasoline
and the weather permitted, it was re-
veaIad by r. H. Amidon, his brother
in-law.
Mr. Amidon said the navigator stat
ed to friends on his recent visit here
! that he would make no attempt to
speak to ships in passing but would
gain altitude as soon as possible and
hold it over the route He estimated
that if the departure was made in the
late afternoon he would have con-
sumed enough gasoline by dawn TO
permit him to reach 10000 feet.
NEW YORK, Oct. IL tP)-The sec
ond night since Ruth Elder and
George Haldeman took off for France
in their monoplane The American
Girl found the silence concerning their
progress unbroken except one report
less than six hours after the take-off.
Haldeman drove the orange mono
plane into the air at Roosevelt field
at 5:O4 p. M yesterday, while his
youthful companion sat in a cabin
chair, clutching a toy cat mascot and
praying that her dream of being the
first woman to fly over the Atlantic
might be realized. Later she planned
to take the stick herself and alternate
with Haldeman as co-pilot on the
long grind to LIE Bourget field outside
of Paris.
The only word that came concern
ing the American Girl during its first
nights flight was received early to-
day from the steamer American Bank
