Pursue Fleeing Rebels
North Of JimineZ.

NACO, Sonora, Mexico, April 3.
U.P)-Federal forces successfully re-
pulsed the initial rebel assault on
this city today.
After two hours of bitter fighting
in which casualties appeared to be
high among the attackers, the insur-
gent cavalry withdrew to a safe
distance from the entrenchments.
The rebels, mostly Yaqui and
Mayo Indians, came to within a few
hundred yards of the Federal lines
surrounding Naco before they were
driven back by the intense rifle and
machine gun fire.
Approximately 1000 men were in
the attacking party. Many were
observed to fall although an accurate
check of the dead was impossible.
Federal headquarters advised that
federal casualties were low, although
unchecked.
No bullets crossed to the American
side of the line.
1t was presumed by federal off
GERS that the rebels had retired
merely to reorganize and that a see
| ond attack could be expected this
afternoon.
This correspondent watched this

within the federal entrenchments.
Shortly after two planes dropped
bombs over the city without damage,
! two columns of rebel cavalry started
the advance on the city.
/ American Soldiers Watch
They marched steadily over the
| plains to the southeast and south
west of the city, halting occasional
ly to fire volleys at federal planes
which went aloft after the rebel air
raid.
The federal outposts gave way be-
fore the advancing troops and the
Indians circled the trenches, narFow-
ing the range until they were within
1900 yards of the trenches.
There they were met with such an
intense rifle and machine gun fire
that they were forced finally to give
way.
Many horses and men fell.
When it appeared that the rebels
would reform and attack again this
afternoon, Major Charles Hazeltine
moved the detachments of his Unit
ed States troops to the center of
Naco, Arizona
The American soldiers, members of
the tenth cavalry and the twenty
fifth infantry, patroled the interna
tional border and set up machine
guns along the line.
Major Hazeltine established head
quarters in the Naco hotel.

WISCONSIN ROLLS
Up VOTE AGAINST
DRY STATUTES
Favor Repeal of State
Dry Law and Manufac-
ture of Beer
BY WILLARD r. SMITH
(United Press Staff Correspondent,

MILWAUKEE, Wis, April ,. UP)
Led by a tremendous majority in
this once famous city of brewers,
the "wets'' OF Wisconsin today had
succeeded in rolling up a ruling vote
of eyes on two anti-prohibition
proposals.
In 1887 Of the states 2,77l pre-
cincts the people voted 2l8, 1873 to
1854 in favor of repeating the
state prohibition laws and i'll ,648
precincts they east POI ,23l votes in
favor of legalizing 2.75 per cent
beer and 118,847 against it.
In Milwaukee the voters were APP
proximately five to one in favor Of
both proposals.
Thus the inhabitants Of Mil
waukee and the industrial cities
down the lake shore between here
and Chicago were raising their emp
ty stems today in a toast to the
abolition of all bans ON their beloved
beer.
The state dry law remains on the
books but the vote means that the
people have asked the legislature to
remove it. The legislature had ask
ed the advice of the voters and now
is bound to comply with the popular
vote.
Wet majorities were piled up early
in the cities. Rural sections and
villages increased their dry vote over
that registered in the beer referen-
DUN of 1926, but more vets than
even before turned out to the polls
in many communities.
To Keep UP Fight
Wisconsin, in the first prohibition
test passage of the Jones 'five an6
ten' law, aligned itself with New
York, Nevada, Montana and Mary
land - states which have repealed
or never have had state prohibition
| laws.
The vets, feeling victory in tn,
referendum fight within their clasp
] believed that with the vote had beer
taken an important step toward cut
/ ting the 18th amendment out of thC
/ constitution of the United States.
State by state, they will continue
their fight, they said, as did the
/ prohibition forces in bringing the
! dry issue before congress.
Gathering of returns from outly
ing rural sections of the state, where
/ the drys held greatest strength, was
! slowed by storm wrecked wire sys
tens. Snow covered highways were
blamed by drys for keeping many of
their numbers from the polls il
farming districts.
