MANRlQUEZ BACK
IN SONORA WITH
GEN. ESCOBAR

Among members of the staff OF
General Jose G.. Escobar, chief OF
the revolutionary fore tes, arriving
in Nogales, Sonora, this week, was
Aurelio Manriquez, famous Mexi-
can statesman, and one of the
most picturesque. characters in the
neighboring nation.
Manriquez is only a little past
DO years of age but his long coal
black whiskers give him the ap-
pearance of being q man we'll up
in the sixties until one can OBJ
serve his features closely.
Manriquez is one of Mexico's
most brilliant men. He is a doc
tor, engineer, lawyer, author, for
mer governor of the state of San
Luis Petosi, and former congress
man from the federal district in
which Mexico City is located. He
speaks several languages.
Just after the assassination of
Former President Obregon last
year, Manriquez arose from his
seat in the chamber Of deputies
and bitterly ! denounced Former
President Plutarco Elias Gales. At
that time Manriquez was president
Of the Agrarian party.
Manriquez threw in his lot with
the revolutionists at the beginning
of the trouble six weeks ago last
Sunday. He then came to Nogales
but left ina short time for the To-
rreon-Jiminez battlefront return
ing to Sonora this week with many
other persons who have been with
General Escobar the past month OF
so.
Since his return to Nogales, Son.
ora, he has taken charge of all
bulletins issued to newspapermen
and no news can now come out Of
rebel headquarters unless it is au-
thorized by either Manriquez OF
General Escobar.
