that Luis Morones, former minister
Of labor against whom life threats
had been made. was concealed in
Mexico City. Morones resigned after
Agrarian supporters of 0bregon had
demonded his withdrawal from the
government charging that he was
one of the psychological authors" of
the crime, paving the way for il by
fiery speeches against Obregon,
Morones' political enemy.
One Escapes to u. 8.
Feeling against Morones ran high
a week ago when 0bregon was slain
and he has been under constant
guard. General Zertuche said that he
was now reported to have gone into
hiding.
Police stated that the pistol used
by the slayer had been traced to a
man named Manuel Trejo, whom they
did not identify. They asserted he
had fled to the United States.
Traces Of the ominous atmosphere
which had prevailed since the assas-
sination were disappearing perhaps
because OF the emotional character OF
the mourning for Captain Emilio
Carranza. Pledges Of support rom
tinued TO pour in on President Gales
from all parts of the country, lead
ing 10 a feeling Of optimism for the
future.

TEN MORE DISMISSED
I. H. T. Continues to Dust Men 1t Accuses of Being Trouble Makers Among WOrkmen.

New York, March s.-1Pp-With the union abiding by its pledge to Mayor James J. Walker to defer strike action until Saturday, the h. terborough Rapid Transit today had added ten more names to the list of 21 union men it had previously dis charged.
 Officials of the Amalgamated association of street and electric railway employees termed this action of the Interborough a deliberate at tempt to provoke a strike" and the mayor was said to be displeased with the action and contemplated an ap- peal to the l. R. T. directors for a more tolerant labor attitude.
 The present controversy was brought on by the company's re- sistance to efforts Of the amaIgamat- ed, an A. F. of L. union, to organ ize its lines and the mayor was re- ported as seeking more tolerant at titude by the l. +. T. pending a court decision on such right to organize.
 The 1nterborough meanwhile con- tinued to train the men it has as- sembled to take the place of Anal- gamated members in event Of q strike. Estimates place their number at 1,So0. A company official said in the last five months it has given in- struction to 700 of it's office employes in train operation.
