but could see neither shore nor ships,
and my anxiety rose. I can carry only

I missed the island I would have to
descend to the sea, and what my
chances of rescue then would be did
not know. Probably slight.
Fuel Depletion Feared.

Water Held Unnecessary.
st speak literally as we'll as fig
uratively when / say we mean to take
the water out of the Chicago program"
Raymond T. Jackson, assistant attorney
general for Wisconsin, said. I'VE mean
to show at Washington both that Chi
cago can and should handle its sew
age without diluting it with water di-
verted from the Lake. We also mean
to show that the estimates of time and
money required for completion of sew
age works are watered in the sense that
there really is lack of estimates alto
gether."
Edmund d. Adcock. chief counsel for
the sanitary district, said he had shown
there should be diversion Of water
from Lake Michigan for navigation on
the Chicago River and that this con-
tention had been supported by Maj.
Gen. Edgar B. Jadwin. chief engineer
of the United States Army, who was the
masters own witness.
Treatment Plan Proposed.
Mr.. jackson said the six complaining
States expected to offer at Washing
ton a plan for sewage treatment in
volving no diversion. an alternative plan
involving diversion of storm water only,
and a criticism Of the entire program
and argument of the sanitary district.
The last witness heard today was Maj.
Rufus w. Putnam. Army engineer. who
said diversion was needed as safe
guard to navigation. Without 1t, he
added. either wages must 60 up to COM
pensate for obnoxious conditions or the
personnel Of seamen would deteriorate.

citizens to leave Naco, were signed by
Gen. Topete, who for many days has
been threatening an attack.
The rebel aviator was driven on by
two federal planes. Topete is said to
have about $500 troops, and has been
slowly advancing toward Naco from the
southwest. He was known to have moved
detachment of troops to within 10
miles of Naco.. keeping the main col
umn at Del Rio, about 80 miles from
here.
The departure of Yucupicio's troops
from Aqua Prieta, east of Naco, was
announced late Thursday night, but
their destination was not made known.

MILWAUKEE,, March 30.-AnotheI
wet and dry fight, viewed by both sides
as having an important bearing on Wis
consins future course in enforcement,
will be decided at the polls next Tues
day.
BY "yes" and mo" vote, the States
citizenry will express its attitude to-
ward the Severson law. State prohibi-
ton enforcement act. and proposal to
eliminate the penalties for manufacture
and sale of beverages of not more than
ITS alcoholic content.
Bills have been introduced in the
Legislature to carry out both proposals
should the people issue such a mandate
and action has been postponed pend
ing the outcome of the referendum a
month ago when both houses adopted
the resolution of which Senator Thomas
M. Duncan, Milwaukee Socialist, was
the author.
Heavy Vote Is Urged.
Both sides have carried their appeals
to the voters and have made an effort
Spring election usually is very light and
only local contests to be decided,
On the side of the drys, the Anti-Sa-
loon League, Women's Christian Tenn
perance Union and the National Pro-
hibition party joined forces in an effort
to have the law upheld, while the brunt
of the attack has been borne by the
Association Against the Prohibition

The question as to whether. the State
enforcement act should be amended to
eliminate penalties for manufacture
sale and possession of alcoholic bev-
erages up to ais content was spon-
sored by Senator Duncan, he said, to

Congress to modify the Volstead act to
permit the manufacture and sale oil
ITS per cent beer under Government
supervision, with the provision that nc
beverage SO consumed should be drunk
on the premises where sold. The ref
erendum was carried by a Stool vote.

would not bind the Legislature to carry
out its mandate, the leaders Of both
vets and drys have emphasized the
bearing the result will have in in
fiuencing the course of the Legislature

REFUSE TO FIGHT
DURING HOLY WEEK
Rebel Indians Are Believed
to Be Within Eight
Miles of Nac0.
By the Associated Press.

by the Associated FTeSS.
NACO, Sonora, March 30.-Twelve
hundred loyal Mexican troops, en-
trenched here between two advancing
rebel armies, today lined up for long
expected battle-one that is said to have
been delayed because some of the rebel
= Indians refused to fight during holy
week.
Activity in the trenches surrounding
this border town became feverish in
the early hours this morning after
camphres had appeared 8 miles to the
east. The fires were believed to he
those of an army of 1,10U Yaqui IN
dams commanded by Gen. Ramon
Yucupicio, from Aqua Prieta.
West of Naco column of rebels from
the army Of Gen. Fausto Topete, Gov
error Of Sonora, was said to be advance
ing also. Topete, who is said to have q
total Of $500 men strung between Del
Rio, 80 miles from here, and the loca-
ton Of his vanguard. has been threat
ening to attack Naco for more than a
week. Troops advancing from the west
this morning we're said to number be-
tween 1000 and 1000.
Troop Train Arrives.
A troop train bearing several hundred
rebel soldiers and four crude tanks ar
rived at Aqua Prieta from Nacozari,
Sonora, early this morning. The SOL
dierS detrained Immediately and started
at once on 17-mile march to join Gen.
Yucupicio's troops camped 8 miles east
of Naco. The tanks were converted
tractors, protected by a sheet metal
covering, with "peepholes" cut at inter-
walls, through which machine guns
poked their niuzzles.
The story that Yucupicio's troops had
refused to fight during Holy week was
published by the Douglas. AriZ., Dis
patch this morning. The newspaper
said, however, that since Holy week
technically ends at noon today the
much delayed battle of Naco was ex-
pected to begin shortly after that hour.
Gen. Lucas Gonzalez. former secre-
tary of war, took over the command OF
the Naco garrison few days after
Olachea announced his adherence to
the federal cause. Although he has
made careful preparations against an
attack, he has indicated disbelief that
Topete would move against him.
viii Protect Americans.
United States troops patrolling the
border prepared to take. steps to pro-
tect American lives and property in
case of a battle. The town of Naco
straddles the international line and has
a population of about 1900 on each
side. The Arizona town has been filed
with refugees from the Mexican side for
days. The Army officers indicated they
would ask citizens to evacuate the town
when the battle starts.
The federal garrison here is well for
tilted, but isolated from any other fed
eral troops. the nearest of which are in
Chihuahua, Sinaloa and Baja Cali
fornia. Naco is surrounded by rough,
open desert country. The nearest town
of any consequence is Bisbee, Ariz.,
about miles away.
