Mexico City Deluged
With Revolt Tales
CONTINUED From Page ons1

they were prominent Catholics, but the
episcopate is without. such informa-
ton.
On Sunday afternoon 35 or more
armed men described by the authori-
ties as bandits, but who themselves
shouted that they were revolutionists
needing supplies for their operations,
robbed the passengers of six automo-
biles near the place where Jacob Ros-
Woodmere, Long Island On. " was
kidnapped last September and later
killed by his captors. This place lies
between Mexico City and Cuernavaa.
Not long afterwards a railroad train
near the town of Ajusco, 80 miles from
Mexico City, was boarded by bandits
and robbed.
Late dispatches say that the federals
put down rebel uprisings at Concep-
cion Del Oro, state of Zacatecas exc
cutting several of the leaders. The spe-
cials also report, but without confir-
nation, that there was a rising OF
Catholics at Parras de la Fuente state
of Coahuila, and that they seized the
municipal authorities
Neither government nor episcopate
has received any .advices tending to
give credence to this.
General Arnulfo Gomez, military
commander at Vera Cruz, is reported
to have revolted, but this rumor bobs
up periodically in Mexico City and
thus far has not been confirmed from
Vera Cruz
The best informed observers feel that
the situation has possibilities of grave
developments, but they point out that
Mexican situations at all times contain
that possibility. They say they would
not be surprised at any developments,
either more active and more extended
disorders, or the simmering down OF
affairs without reaching crisis.
Apparently the discontented elements
throughout the republic are without
central leadership or coordination and
have no dominate future to rally
around.

panies was answered by the depart
ment of Industry, commerce and
/ labor as follows:
I "In answer to your attentive com.
munication of December 20, in which
you ask that the Interpretation be
determined on article 10 of the law
of March %, 1926, regulating that OF
December 3, 926, which is the or
ganic law of section 1 OF article ~
of the constitution, I have the honor
to transmit to you the answers ree
garding this which was given to this
department by that of foreign rela'
tions, to which your communication
was transmitted intact:
Your note issued by the judiciaI
section of this department. with
number S,642 and date of December
I2S, 1926, transmits the consultation
of Attorneys Pascual Luna PARA
and Alexandra Qu.jano on the appli-
cation of the law of March 22, 1926.
In due answer, it is a pleasuro
to communicate to you the oplniors
of this department of relations in the
following form:
According to article $ of tho
law the rights legally acquired BY
fore; gners prior to the saem becom'
ing effective may be conserved until.
the death of their respective owners.
Article 10 of the regulations
states that in the same case. that If
the owner of the rights is forelgr4
company or a Mexican company with
foreign shareholders, the rights OF
the company may be conserved for
all the time of it's duration, accord
ing to the articles of incorporation.
Section II of article 206 OF the
commercial code authorizes the ex-
tension of the duration of COM
panies and, consequently, in such a
case, these do not dissolve by the
expiration of the period of duration
because this would be contradictory.
In the case of such an extension
a public document must be drawn
UP to make a matter of record. ac-
cording to articles 94 and 2OS of the
same code. But, notwI thstandine
THIS requirement of form, necessary
because of the effects upon third
parties, it does not signify that the
extension is new Incorporation of
the company, an incorporation which
continues to be exactly the samu
during a greater period than that
stipulated at the beginning.
F" If, therefore, there is not new
incorporation of the coplnany even
in the event of extension, ARTICLE 10
Of the regulations is applicable. In
other words, a foreign company OF
a, Mexican company with foreign
shareholders, incorporated prior to
the law becoming effective, conservea
its rights for all the time of its
existence according to the articles
of incorporation, even in case III
which the period of its duration 81
extended.
1.-The first two inquiries made by
attorneys Luna Y PARA and Quijano
are answered in the foregoing terms.
Regarding the third question, the
extension 70 the duration of tho
company rot being possible, the con-
firmation of it's rights must be lim-.
tied to the period of itsduration; but
relative to che rights which it has
lacquired for a longer period it has
the right to ALLEVIATE them to a per.
son capacitated to acquire them or
to incorporate as Mexican company
lin order to continue to conserve
them I renew to you my attentive
and distinguished consideration.

Petroleum lands in Mexico are being
worked as usual according to advices
received in oil circles here.
FL Sol, organ Of the regional con
federation of labor and close to the
Mexican government declares that
''the nti-Mexican campaign of the
enemies of this country is taking the
form of the circulation of alarming
lies, regarding disturbances, revolu-
tionary plotting and uprisings. The
paper minimizes the rumors of trouble
flooding Mexico City but admits
"some hostile elements" have been
arrested both in Mexico City and
elsewhere, for seditious activities.
The newspapers print reports of the
destruction of railroad tracks in the
northern part of the republic. In an
attempt to wreck a Laredo Mexico
City train an armed gang captured
a group of section hands north of
San Luis Potosi forced them to tear
the tracks and carried them off
as prisoners. Some of the section
hands escaped and ran back to the
railroad in time to flag the 1lrSL
train and prevent disaster
Revolutionaries also tore up the
railroad tracks and burned bridges at
points between Torreon and Saltillo.
Three rival state legislatures, each
claiming to be the legal body, have
established themselves at Puebla,
causing fear that there may be arm
ed clashes between the rival political
groups.
