MARYLAND TO TEST
REALTY LICENSE LAW
Washington Firms Are Accused in
Warrants Brought by State
Inspector.

In move interpreted here as test
case to determine whether Washington
real estate operators doing business in
adjacent Maryland must pay operating
licenses to the State, Thomas Gillece,
State license inspector for Maryland,
swore out warrants In Rockville yes
terday for the arrest of two prominent
Washington realtors, charging them
with failure to pay the real estate OPP
Grating tax. The case will come up in
the Rockville Police Court tomorrow.
Representatives of the firms involved
stated last night that they were I'M
able to understand the swearing out of
warrants, as telephone call would have
suficed. Their firms, it is stated, have
been operating in nearby Maryland for
Is years or more and have never been
served with tax notices or otherwise
informed that they were supposed to
pay the tax. AS the tax is a nominal
one. it is unlikely that there would have
been protest against paying it, it was
stated.
Only two of the many Washington
concerns doing real estate business in
Maryland were singled out for the hear
ing in Police Court tomorrow, it was
stated, but the decision in the case
against them obviously will apply tc
all.

PRESS FREEDOM UNHELD
Judge Denies Utility's Plea to Gag
Paper Protesting Fare.

MILWAUKEE, December (P1.-
Freedom of the press was upheld by
Circuit Judge Gustave G. Gehrz here
today in ruling that the Milwaukee
Post, a weekly newspaper, was not
guilty of trying TO incite violence, when
it published letter protesting against
an extra zone street car fare.
Judge Gearz ruled that the Milwau-
kee Electric Light & Railway Co., which
asked for an injunction restraining the
paper from publishing "inhammatory
letters" had not sufficient cause for an
injunction. The ruling came with the
sustaining Of a demurrer to the COM
plant.
In the opinion of Judge Gehrz, the
right of freedom of the press must be
abused before an Injunction aimed tc
restrain newspapers can be issued.

Olachea, commanders at Naco. ex
pressed the belief that the oft-threat-
encd attack from rebels under Gen.
Faliso Topete would not develop.
TO the south there were signs that
federal forces had pushed farther north
ward into rebel territory. The Asso-
ciated Press representative at Culiacan,
Sinaloa, reported that federal column
was approaching that city from Duran
go and that rebel force had been sent
out to meet it.
Rebel headquarters asserted small
detachment of revolutionistS still were
besieging Mazatlan and that the prin-
cipal Western insurrecto army under
Gen. Francisco r. Manzo was heading
south for Topic after abandoning its
attack upon MaZatlan.
The federal army near Culiacan was
looked upon as the chief menace to
the revolutionary cause in the North,
as it is potential instrument for pre-
venting ManZo's possible retraet to
Nogales, Sonora.
Federal cavalry also was reported
approaching Sonoyta, Sonora, 45 miles
south of Ajo, Arizona. The village,
which has about 100 inhabitants. has
been garrisoned by II rebel soldiers.
The II were reported as having fed
with the approach of the cavalry.
Sightseeing privileges went up at No
gales, Sonora, where rebel headquarters
posted notice that Americans crossing
into Mexico must have Identification
cards and passports, which were to be
issued by the rebels at cost Of peso
or SO cents in American money.
At Yuma and Douglas, Ariz.. Ameri-
can Government agents still were inves-
tigating the report that Mexican federal
troops crossed into Arizona yesterday
on their way to Naco.

VETERANS MARCH
BY FOCH'S CASKET
Bill to Pension Marshal's
Widow Is introduced
in Chamber.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, March 27.--Thousands of
former soldiers who fought under Mar
shall Foch filed past his casket in an
uncrowded but steady stream today.
The body OF the marshal lay where they
had placed it yesterday in an open
vault under the altar of the Chapel of
ST. Louis in Les Invaiides.
Meanwhile the government has In
troduced bill in the Chamber of Depu-
ties to provide an annual pension OF
100000 francs approximately $4,000
for the marshal'S widow. During his
lifetime, said the preamble of the gov
erument's bill, Marshal Foch refused
gifts offered to him from the United
States and England. He never sought
fortune and died poor man. After the
widows death, the proposed pension
would be divided amcng the grandchil-
dren until they reached their majority.
May Retain Home.
1t is understood that the government
will permit Nine. Foch to retain the
home in the Rue de Grenelle which
was placed at the marshal's disposal
after the war and in which he died.
The gates of the home are only three
minute walk to the crypt where the
marshal lies.
When sufficiently recuperated from
the fatigue of the long watch at her
husbands sick bed and the five-day
strain of the funeral ceremonies. Nine,
Foch probably will go to the country TO
rest.
In honor of the marshal new
cruiser which will be launched in June
will be christened Foch.
War veterans of France today had
the exclusive privilege OF visiting Les
Invalides and viewing the bier of Mar
shall Foch, placed there yesterday.
Poincare Placates Veterans.
This was allowed them by Premier
Poincare BY way of compensation for
his having yesterday stopped the march
in front of the bier as 1t reposed in
front of Les Invalides before the war
veterans had passed before it.
The veterans, diSgruntled at what
they considered a slight to their war
services and feeling for the dead COM
mander, gathered in front Of the
Chamber of Deputies and shouted,
Down with Parliament - drive these
slackers out of here!'
The premier explained it was neces-
sarv to curtail the march past Les In
valides because the ceremony had al
ready lasted two hours longer than
planned and it was impossible to sub
ject the family. foreign princes and
diplomats and the war-crippled to fur
Their fatigue.
Decorations on Display.
The ag-draped coffin was to be ex-
posed until late today. A double line
of republican guards in full dress form
ed an aisle through the courtyard of
the Chapel of the Invalides. A row
of candles upon the steps leading down
to the crypt revealed the marshal's
glittering medals and decorations
which, with three batons, rested upon
seven cushions of velvet and satin in
front of the casket; upon the f1ag-cov-
cred coffin reposed the marshal's sword
and cloak

thirteenth precinct was ordered to-
day by his commander, Capt. G. P.
NJ Lord, to discontinue bis practice
of putting comment on parking
tickets" he leaves in automobiles

lations Of the parking regulations, to
which he had appended the words,
Friends or Drag-Impotent."

Capt. Lord a written report stating
that it was not his intention to in

avoid being annoyed by 'fixers.'
Capt. Lord said today that al
though he does not know of any
section OF the police manual which
prohibits such a comment on traf-
tic notice, he thinks that to avoid
possible criticisms the practice
should be discontinued.

FALL MEETS D0HEM
FOR INFORMAL TALK
Former Secretary Says They Dis
cussed Horses, Books and Dude
Cowboys" but Nothing Else.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PHOENIX, Ariz., March 27.-Albert
B. Fall, former Secretary OF the In
terror. said yesterday that he and E. L.
Doheny, oil magnate, had discussed
"horses. books, dude cowboys and MIR.
Doleny's experiences as a prospector
in Arizona SO years ago, and nothing
more in a meeting here.
The meeting described as an in
formal srisit, was the first between the
two principals in the Government oil
lease investigation in more than six
months.
Doheny was taking the five children
of his son, E. L. Doheny, jr., who was
murdered in Los Angeles recently, to
a rodeo and invited Fall to accompany
them, the former cabinet officer said.
Fall with his wife and daughter, Mrs.
c. C. Chase of Ell Paso, came here yes
terday. Mr.. and Mrs Doheny, their
sons widow and their five grandchildren
arrived Saturday.
I'VE are old friends" Fall said
when Mrs. Fall attended the funeral
of Doheny, jr., in Los Angeles. Mrs.
Doheny told her she would try to get
Mr.. Doheny away from the scene of
the tragic murder. but we did not know
they had come to Phoenix"
Due to a misunderstanding of time,
Fall did not accompany Doheny to the
rodeo. but was awaiting the oil mag
nate at his hotel suite when he returned.

Seventy trucks alone were necessary to
carry fodder for the cavalry horses.
With arrival today at Jaral Grande,
south of Escalon, and at Escalon, the
former President said, the water situa-
ton would be solved and further adj
vance northward would be quicker than
the last 100 miles. The generals report
revealed he was moving only force of
5000 men north from Torreon for the
campaign in Chihuahua, acting under
the orders of Gen. Juan Andrea AL
mazan, who was forced to cross another
section of the same desert for his at
tack On Torreon last week.
The marches of Monday and Tues
day, I can assure you," Gen. Gales
wired to President Portes Gill; give us
complete control Of the situation IL
Chihuahua
This was inferred here to mean he
considered himself in position now
to force the rebels to fight, or retreat
from the state, into Sonora, or fee
Mexico into the United States.
He said his aviators reported aban-
donment of Escalon by the rebels. with
their forces concentrated at Jiminez, SO
Gales was sent from ConejoS and said
he intended going back himself to his
headquarters at Bermajillo.
Meanwhile, as the campaign Sn the
west coast developed into another pro-
spective chase, Gen. Jaime GARLIC, at
Mazatlan, wired the President that all
the railroad track north Of Culiacan,
capital of Sinaloa, had been torn up
and he hoped to force the rebels into
an open battle there when they found
their retreat cut short.
Gen. Garlic reported aviators had
found the main rebel column, under the
command of Gems. Roberto Cruz and
Francisco Manzo, atlL Cruz, Sinalca,
fleeing on foot and horseback to Culia-
can. Aviators few over the rebels and
harrassed them with machine-gun fire.
There were no rebels at all south of
Mazatlan, he said. The federal army
of Gen. LaZaro Cardenas had left Quad
alaiara for Topic and Nayarit; with IFS
arrival in Sinaloa the chase of the reb-
els. disheartened at failure of their at
tack on Mazatlan, was to begin In ear
nest.
Success of this campaign and of the
efforts of Gen. Gales and Gen. Alma
zan in the north we're expected here to
confine the rebellion to the State of
Sonora before many more days.
