CAPTURE OF
REBEL, LEADER
EXPECTED SOON
BY G.. F. FINE
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

\OUAIcu ICSS otd14 OOIIcSpOlucuCb
MEXICO CITY, Oct. 13.-Defin.
lie news of the arrest or where
abouts of the rebel leader, General
Arnulfo Gomez, was expected by of
ficials here by the end of the week.
He may already have been captur-
ed by pursuing federal troops. Owing
to the rough country and the lack of
communications it might take sew
eral days for the news to reach the
capital.
The government is still using a
force of 10000 men to track down
the small groups of rebels who fled
from the battle before the remaining
rebel troops surrendered to the fed
erals.
If successful in evading the pur-
suers, Gomez, with his band of 20
soldiers, might hide in the densely
wooded mountains of Vera Cruz for
a long time.
Six hundred rebels who surrender
ed Monday arrived here last night
from Jalapa. They were placed in
military prisons.
Belief is that the enlisted men will
be pardoned while the majority of
the officers probably will be dis.
missed from service, although some
of them may meet worse fate.

Miss Elder and Haldeman
Rescued by Tank Ship
"Barendrecht."
OIL LEN E FAILS
Transatlantic Flight Is
Halted Off Lands End,
England.
BY United Press Leased Wire

Miss Ruth Elder and George Hal
deman, her pilot, are safe aboard the
Dutch oil tanker Barendrecht.
The % year old southern girl who
sailed away from Roosevelt Field,
New York, on Tuesday, with Halde-
man in their airplane the American
Girl, was not heard from for more
than 36 hours, reported herself and
her pilot safe-at moment when
on both sides of the Atlantic hope
for her was fast fading.
At noon today, 43 hours since Miss
Elder left Roosevelt Field, word
came to New York of her safety.
United Press cables from Paris an
nounced received by Commandant
Renvoiz of LIE Bourget flying field,
Paris, of a brief message from Miss
Elder.
1t said "Landed by SS Baren-
drecht with broken oil line. Halde.
man and l o. k.'
A little later similar message
| came to the Radio Corporation of
America, relayed from the Baren-
drecht to the liner Olympic, thence
to the liner Leviathan, then to New
| York.
More than an hour later no fur
| ther details had become available
but computations taking into consid-.
Grafton both the flying speed and
the route of the American Girl and
| the probable positions of the steam-
ers, would indicate that Miss Elder
landed beside he obscure Dutch
tanker about $50 miles from Land 8
End, England, and probably sonth-
west of that point.
Report Brings Joy.
One dispatch mentioned the Bar
endrecht being in the vicinity of the
Azores, but others indicated it prob
ably was nearer the British Islands
than to the Azores.
! The dramatic ending of MissaEld-
RS flight brought a thrill of JOY
not only to her friends and those of
country.
When, weeks ago, Miss Elder and
her pilot arrived in New York in
their Stinson-Detroiter plane, the
public in general seemed unwilling
to believe that she actually was SER
/ ious in her intention of flying to
| Europe.
Miss Elder, however, firmly insist
cd that nothing could deter her. She
spent her days at the flying field
and in practice flights, finally win
ming herself pilot S license.
Then the public almost forgot her.
But last Tuesday morning she leaned
against a door, weak from excite
ment, at the Garden City Hotel and
announced she and Haldeman were
leaving that afternoon.

LABOR ROW ON

TO MATERIALIZE
Resolution is Referred to

For Disposal.
By DAN CAMPBELL
United Press Staff Correspondent

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 13.-An an
ticipated bitter controversy over the
Boulder Dam project on the floor of
the fOrty-seventh annual convention
of the American Federation of
Labor today failed to materialize.
Adopting the report of the resolu-
tions committee reaffirming declara-
tions of previous conventions relat-
ing to the Colorado river system,
the convention voted that the res
olutions submitted by both California
and Arizona on the proposed dam be
referred to the executive couEcil.
The words "former declarations, -
according to Matthew Vol, member
of the executive council, referred to
statement made by previous con-
vcntion which advocated in a gen
cral way the draining of swamp
lands, the irrigation of arid lands,
and the development of water power
throughout the nation.
No Action On Floor
This previous statement made no
distinction between public or priv
ate ownership, the anticipated poilt
of controversy, although in mention
ing waterpower it specifically
named Muscle Shoals and the Rocky
Mountain range.
Neither Henry s. McClEsky, Ari,
zona delegate nor Daniel C. Murphy,
California delegate, demanded the
floor, arrangements having been
made previously to save time by the
elimination of debate.
Before the convention McClusky
stated that Arizona "predicates this
case neither on public or private
ownership of hydro-clectric power.
The resolutions committee in urg-
ing that the resolutions be submit
ted to the executive council declared
that the phrasing of the resolutions
were ambiguous.
