Gen. Gales in message to President

made. Gen. Gales said he had not
had time to check up ON federal cas-
ualtieS.
Other accounts Of the La Reforma
action described it as a virtual mas

attack that the rebels, caught on a dry
barren plain without any other pro-
lection than their own arms, in some
cases lay down on the ground where
machine gun fire killed hundreds. Air
planes dropped 75-pound demolition
bombs.

OPPONENTS GRID
FOR COURT FIGHT
Action by Senate at Special
Session on Root Formula
Held Unlikely. /
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The raising Of the World. Court issue
at the approaching special session of
Congress through submission of the new
formula Of EIihu Root for American
adherence is now regarded as extremely
unlikely. 49,
Senate approval of the formula, work
ed out by Mr.. Root and the interns-
tional jurists at Geneva, modifying the
Senate's reservation on advisory opin-
ions which proved unacceptable to the
world powers, will be necessary before
the United States goes into the court.
Fight Brewing in Senate.
The work of Mr.. Root, who went to
Geneva during the closing days Of CAL
win Coolidge's administration, dropped
the World Court issue on Mr.. Hoover'S
doorstep before he had time 10 become
comfortably settled in the White House
There is no indication that Mr.. Hoover
was consulted about the proposed Root
visit and there has been no indication
Of his attitude toward its results.
But there are definite indications
that the President does not propose to
inject the World Court issue into the
extra session he has called for the con-
sideration of farm relief and limited
tariff revision.
(. Friends of Mr. Hoover realize he is a
firm advocate of the court and believe.
therefore, he viii be inclined to favor
steps looking toward American adher-
ence. But stiff fight is brewing in the
Senate on the Root formula, and 1t is
brewing in the Republican ranks.
Senator johnson. Republican, Of Cali
fornia, already has Embossed an attack
on the proposed modification of the
Senate reservation, which stipulated
that the court should not render an
advisory opinion in any case in which
this Nation has. or claims to have, an
interest, without its consent.
BOrah Asks Action.
Chairman Borah Of the Senate for
eign relations committee also has taken
the position that before the Senate
acts on the Root proposition the Coun-
Gil Of the League Of Nations should act.
He also would have the other powers
indicate their position on the PROPOSE
ton.
Mr. Root, as a member of the Com
mission on International Jurists, re-
Gently called TO Geneva to revise the
World Court rules, undertook unoffi-
cially to bring about an understanding
between the world powers and this
Government on the controverted Senate
reservation, which. was adopted three
years ago when adherence to the court
came to vote.

NO REQUEST FOR MOVEMENT.
State Department Says States Must Ap-
prove Any Action.


prove Any Action.
No permission for movement Of Mexi-
can federal troops over American soil
has been issued by the State Depart
ment, nor viii any be given unless per-
mission of the States through which
such troops must pass Is first obtained.
No Mexican request for such a move
ment has been received.
The State Department made this
clear today when 1t announced that
it had received the protest from Gov.
Phillips of Arizona, against any permis-
sion being given by it for the movement
of Mexican soldiers through that State.
Secretary Stimson has taken no action.
Thus far the State Department has
received no request from the Mexican
government for permission to move the
800 soldiers detained at Fort Bliss after
the battle of Juarez, but such a request
is expected here.
Brig. Gen. George v. H. Moseley.
commander of Fort Bliss, has been Or
dered by the Secretary Of War to turn
these Juarez soldiers over to the United
States immigration authorities at Ell
Paso and also to confer with the Mexi-
can consul there ON the details of the
transfer. Just what disposition will be
made of these soldiers is not known in
Washington and depends upon the in
Structions of the Mexican government
to its consul.
Inasmuch as these Mexican soldiers
have been disarmed and their arms are
being held by the American Govern
ment, it is believed probable the i'm
migration authorities will consider them
as Mexican citizens who have gained
Illegal entry into the United States and
deport them. Their transportation
over American soil as immigrants thus
would remove their military status and
it is thought this might obviate the
necessity of obtaining permission from
the various governors through whose
States they must pass going back to
Mexico.
Until information Is received here as
to what disposition the Mexican govern
ment intends to make of these disarmed
soldiers, Washington officials are unable
to make a decision.

ARIZONA GOVERNOR

Mexico FederaIs to Cross. u
State to Naco. :. n
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PHOENIX, Ariz., April 5-The Gov
ernor Of Arizona last night wired a pro-
test to Secretary Of State Henry l..
Stinason against proposed plan tot al
low Mexican federal troops to cross this
State from New Mexico to reinforced the
Mexican federals at Naeo, Sonora.
Gov. Phillips stated that such an ac-
ton would violate the Arizona coTstitu-
ton and endanger the lives Of Arizona
citizens
The protest was sent after AdE. Gen.
Joseph F. Pomefoy had advised the
governor that he was informed such a
plan was being considered.
Pomeroy, who has been In Naco, Ariz.,
telephoned the governor from there.
Mexican federal troops which were
informed at Ell Paso, Tex, after their
defeat at JuareZ, Chihuahua, Pomeroy
said he was informed, were to be NOV
ed across the American territory that.
they might re-enter Mexico at Naco.
The protest 20 the State Department
said:
IT am informed that you contemplate;
permitting the Mexican federal troops
recently released at Ell Paso to return
to Mexico through Naco, Ariz. I re-,
spectfully call your attention to the
fact that this would violate both the
constitution and the military code of
the State of Arizona, and would greatly
endanger the lives and property Of its
citizens.
Already three aerial bombs have
been dropped in Arizona territory do
ing some damage and injuring one
American resident; therefore, In view
Of the above facts, respectfully pro-
test the movement of any Mexican
troops through Arizona territory"
Gov, Phillips is framing formal
protest based on evidence troops al
ready have been moved through ARR
zona He indicated this protest would
be sent to Washington.
Hoover Ordered Release.
Gov. Phillips telegram indicated he
had information that the State Depart
ment was contemplating giving its per-
mission for such move.
President Hoover recently issued an
order providing for the release of the
internes to the Mexican government.
The adjutant general of Arizona re-
ported to the governor he had evidence
that Mexican soldiers had appeared on
Arizona soil. Whether this referred to
reports on March % that federalS had
passed through Yuma and Douglas,
AriZ., was not learned. At that time
1t was reported that the loyal troops had
appeared at Yuma and Douglas and
had moved to Naco and Aqua Prieta,
Sonora.

L. Rutt told friends of mine he prom
lsed Creager $4,000 and paid him 81 500.
Claiming $4o0 credit for expenses as del
egate to the national convention, in re-
turn Tor appointment as postmaster at
Beaumont.
Brookhart read telegram he said he
had received from Creager in which the
Texas committeeman said:
You are quoted in press reports as
stating that in advance of the event
teStlfled before your committee that
congressman Wurzbach would be in
dicted for receiving political contribu-
tons from Federal Office holders in VI
olatlon OF the law, and further that ]
caused the indictment to be brought in
order to Stifie your committees investi-
cation. If you made such statements
you deliberately falsified."
Brookhart then read testimony from
the record of the previous hearings in
which Orville Burlington of Texas and
Creager were quoted as relating evil
dence of contributions wurzbach had
received which, they said, were in yio-
lation of the law.
II were dealing with an ordinary
man.. Brookhart said, IT would not
hold him strictly to the accuracy Of his
statements but Creager sets himself
up as MuSSolini. He was the most
insolent witness who ever appeared be-
fore a congressional committee. and I
have listened to Robert w. Stewart.
"Creager is intelligently dishonest. He
never would have charged Wurzbach
with these violations If he had been
intellectually honest. because the evil
dence shows that WurZbach made a
fair and honest return of the item on
which Creager bases his charge. Wurz-
bach was not, in fact, guilty of any
OF these charges. An intellectually hon.
est man would have said there was no
moral turpitude Creager made the
charge In an untruthful and dishonest
style.
"Creager showed he knew wurzbach
was indicted although at the time he
testified the indictment was not public
He had the indictment promulgated
through q district attorney whom he
appointed and controls, doing exactly
what former Attorney General Daugh-
erty did with Senator Wheeler.
Texas Organization Demeralized.p
1.-THE charges laid before this COM
mittee indicate that Creager has de-
moralized his organizations in Texas
The purpose In collecting these contri-
buttons Is unexplained. He thought he
controlled the Federal Court, but am
happy to say that the Indictment
against Wurzbaeh was dismissed
Turning to discussion of the con-
tfibutions received by Creagef's organi-
ration, most Of which were made, the
records showed, on promissory note
basis, Brookhart said that 1T seems
that the bigger the note, the longer and
more eloquent the letter" He had Just
introduced . file of letters, most OF
them commenting Creager.
At the conclusion Of the hearing
Brookhart said he had some informa-
ton about the Columbia. S. c., post
Office, which would be turned over TO
the Department Of Justice.
He would not disclose what this In
formation was.
