there has been no organized

POrtes Gil Sending.
Southern Army to
Give Battle to Rebels

MEXICO CITY, March 5 tI.N.S1.
A federal army win be concentrated
on the southern front to give battle
to the rebels in that part Of
Mexico, according to communlque
issued at the office OF President
Emilio Portss Gil today.
1t win be commanded by Gen.
Juan Andreu Almazan, military
chief of the state of Nuevo Leon
and the youngest division general
in the Mexican army.
Unfounded rumors that President
Portes Gil had been captured by
the rebels were dissipated BY the
President himself when he re.
ceived newspaper men last night.
President Sees End.
When seen by the newspaper
men, the President announced that
General Jose Gonzalo Escobar.
military commander OF the state of
Coahuila. had gone over to, the
rebel ranks.
The President thereby admitted
that three states were in open re.
volt, having admitted the revolt In
Vera Cruz end Sonora yesterday.
He predicted the swift suppress.
sion OF the rebellion and declared
that its leaders, Generals Aguirre
and Manzo and Governor Topete, of
Sonora, were acting In an ur-
justified and unpatriotic manner.
Fortunately, the. greater part Of
our army" he said, "has responded
with loyalty to the preservation of
the institutions of the republic.
People AbsOlved
1.-THE entire nation through Its
diverse organizations" he added,
has repudiated with all vigOr this
shameful movement. The people OF
Mexico are in no way responsible
for it. They are supporting the pro-
visional government and are united
In the defense of the institutions
Of the country"
Strict government censorship still
prevails here. No bloodshed has
been reported anywhere.
Th. rebels now claim control in
nine states as opposed to the gov.
ernment's statement that the rebel.
lion is restricted to three.
This city is bustling with military
activity but otherwise everything
is normal. The newspapers appear
TO be strongly supporting the gov.
ernment.
Herbert Hoover's first official act
as President today, was to turn
his attention to the apparently
serious revolution in Mexico, which
is threatening the stability OF the
government there.
Secretary OF State kellogg went
to the White House at 1880 o'clock
at ~the new Presidents request
taking the latest reports from
Ambassador Morrow in Mexico City.
The President and kellogg. who
is carrying on as foreign minister
until Henry l.. Stimson arrives here
from Manila. discussed the reports
for quarter OF an hour. kellogg
then went back to the state De.
partment, leaving the reports on Mr..
HooVer's desk. n.r
Secretary Kellogg made a second
trip to the White House with add.
tional information shortly after II
o'clock.

Leahy asked Burlinganne what he
meant by catering to his source
Of information.
Il have had to do some things
sometimes that you would think
were very foolish, but had to
cater to my source Of information.
Captain Burlingalue would never
be so silly as TO fall Into the
mucky, murky love" which Mrs.
Blalock described to the board. At.
torney Leahy declared in his open
ing statement for the defense.
Leahy declared that the defense
would show beyond the question Of
doubt that Captain BGrlingame has
been for 80 years in the Police De-
partment. il q married man and
lived with his wife and daughter.
He said that the defense would
also show that "the woman VINO

to the Second precinct station to
see the captain, not as she stated,
to ask about license for q palmist.
but that she went there to ask the
captains assistance in her business
affairs. He said that she could not
have gone to see about the license,
because at the time of her visit the
license was not issuable.

Friend of Father

When Mrs. Blalock went to the
station house she was in a very
nervous condition, according to
Leahy. She said that her father
was "old Tom Donahue," who ran
a barrel house in the southwest
and had been friendly with the
captain in former years, Leahy
said.
The attorney declared that Dona.
hue, because Of his knowledge Of
conditions and personalities in the
southwest, had, been of great as.
distance to the police.
The woman, according to Leahy,
told Burlingame on the occasion Of
her first visit that she owned two
pieces of property and that she
was constantly in trouble" as a
result OF this ownership.
She said that she had been to see
lawyers, but that they had at
tempted to rob her, Leahy said.
''She seemed to have delusion
about being, robbed" said the coun.
SCI. "She constantly called the
police to her house and on one
occasion investigation disclosed that
the property of which she said she
had been robbed, was found in her
bedroom"

Silver Lace Robe

Mrs. knight, handsome daughter
of Vice President Curtis, had on
= silver lace robe, with the pattern
of the material outlined in flames
colored thread. Her sister, Mrs.
George. wore an American Beauty
chiffon gown, embroidered in steel
beads and q crepe shawl OF the
same color trimmed In deep fringe.
Both girls are dark and excep.
tionaily handsome. Mrs. Harold
Curtis, who IL titian-halred, had
chosen q costume OF pale yellow
metal lace and chiffon ana carried
an emerabld green fan. Mrs. Col
vim wore a gown Of soft blue
chiffon.
Everybody was trying to keep
an eve on Major John Coolidge
brave in the blue and gold OF his
uniform-and his pretty ftances,
Miss Florence Trumbull. And dur
ing the course of n rather hectic
evening, the son OF ex-President
Coolidge found time to exchange
greetings with many OF his fathers
friends and his own. Miss Trum-
bull wore a smart frock OF American
Beauty taffeta, its skirts made on
very bouffant lines. Her younger
sister. Miss Jean Trumbull, had on
frock of gold sequins, with IN
sectE Of lace, and Mrs. Trumbuil
wore a costume Of Chanel blue
satin, with graceful draperies.-
The Trumbulls had been guests
at dinner of Senator and Mrs.
Hiram Bingham and came on with
them and with many Of the dinner
ouoSfs-to thA ball.

No Social Association

The property which Mrs. Blalock
told she owned was in the 500
block 70 H Street and in the 1000
block of Wisconsin Avenue. Ac-
cording to Leahy, when she went
to Burlingame's office. she had
with her many documents and
papers referring to these proper.
ties.
AS the result of her appeal.
Leahy said, the defense would show
that Burlingame went to an at
torney and to the District Building
and did all that he could to straiEhten
out her business. He said further
that the defense would show that
the repairs which were made to
1904 Seventh st, N. W., when Mrs.
Blalock moved into an apartment
at that address were made at her
request and under the direction OF
Burlingame.
Leahy said that he would show
that Mrs. Blalock was constantly
in trouble about the trusts on her
property and that Burlingame
Strengthened out this matter for
her also.
"Thare was no social association
between Captain Burlingame and
Mrs. Blalock in the sense in which
Mrs. Blalock described to this
board said Leahy. Her testi.
mony as to intimacy with the cap.
tain is absolutely false. The visits
which the captain made to her
home on Saturday nights had no
social purpose. We will show that
she constantly gave the captain
valuable tips. particularly regard.
ing stills, speakeasies and gambling
joints"
Leahy declared that in one year.
Burllngame's men had been enabled
to make $500 arrests for gambling
alone ana he ascribed this record
largely 70 the information furnished
BY Mrs. Blalock.
