Cross Examination
Of Gov. Johnston In
Oklahoma Opened

OKLAHOMA CITY, March Ia
R-Henry 5. Johnston, suspended
governor, who for three and one
half days had testified in direct ex-
animation in his impeachment trial,
today was cross-examined by the
prosecution as to his record in Of
flee.
John Head. chairman of the house
board Of managers, conducted the
examination as to the circumstances
leading up to severance of political
relations between Johnston and Ed
M. Seamans Of Oklahoma City, a
leader in Johnston's campaign in
1926. SeamanS wrote surety bonds
for road contractors.
DO you not know" said Head,
that Semans had not written bonds
for years and that he wrote only
two bonds in your administrations"
asked Head.
JOHNSON had testified he caused
bonding business to be withdrawn
from SemanS.
"If that is SO I didn't know it,"
said Johnston.
Head leveled a series Of queries
designed apparently to reveal whe-
ther Johnston was not in reality in
fluenced against Semans by Mrs. o.
0. Hammonds, the governors con-
fidential secretary. Johnston said
that relations apparently were
strained between Semans and Mrs.
Hammonds and that Mrs. Ham
monds spoke lily Of him.

REVOLUTIONISTS ON
BORDER ARE z

NOGALES, Ariz., March H.
Mexican revolutionary leaders along
the border we're silent today as
they awaited the drawing up of
battle lines near Torreon and Ma
zatlan and the approach of the
crisis in their attempt to overthrow
the Mexico City government.
A colorful army Of 1000 rebels,
consisting largely Of Yaqui and
Mayo Indians, was camped at Aqua
Prieta, Sonora, today. They were
recruited from various points in
Sonora and are being moved into
Chihuahua. From there they are
to move south to join the armies
Of General Juan Gonzalo Escobar,
commander in chief Of the revolu-
tionary forces in an attempt to
stem the advance Of the Mexican
federal forces under General P.
Elias Gales.
Revolutionary leaders said this
detachment would need at least
two days to effect q junction with
Escobar's men and the rebel gen.
eral needed the 1000 fighters to
face Gales.
In the west, attention was CEN
tered upon the cautious advance Of
rebels toward Mazatlan, Sinaloa,
where the loyal federal general
Jaime Garlic is entrenched with
1000 men. This advance was con-
Quoted by General Ramon F. Itur-
be. About 5000 rebels are said to
be converging upon Mazatlan.
Many Americans crossed the in
ternational line to see the revolut-
tionists at Naco. Attention was
centered on the equipment of the
insurgents which consisted of late
model Enfield and Winchester RI
files. Every soldier carried two or
three cartridge belts and a bayonet.
All were warmly dressed.
Newspapermen who visited the
camp were surprised to find a
large amount of American money
in circulation among the rebel SOL
diers. A total Of $4,000 was packed
in money bags near headquarters.

TO DECIDE REVOLT

JUAREZ, Chihuahua. Mexico,
March 12.-(P)-The fate Of the
Mexican revolution in the north to-
day appeared hinged upon the out
come of an expected battle between
government forces and rebel troops
at Torreon.
The greatest concentration of re-
evolutionary troops since the start
Of the revolution, with Torrean as
their base, was well under way, and
it was generally believed here that
leaders of the rebellion have plan
ned a battle of no little magnitude
with the federal forces led by p.
Elias Gales, former president of
Mexico.
Troop trains loaded with revolu-
tionists from Juarez arrived at
Torreon last night. A civilian militia
of so men was recruited here by the

REBELS SEE QUICK
END TO REVOLUTION

MEXICO CITY, March 12.-(P-
MeXicans today foresaW quick sup
preston of the revolt against the
government, possibly even with no
more serious and sanguinary a
battle than has marked the rebel
lions course thus far.
While the main army Of General
Gales moved northWard from Ca
nitas, Zacatecas, toward Torreon,
Coahuila, the more optimistic be-
lieved that when it faced the army
Of General Jose Gonzalo Escobar
the rebel army would only postpone
disaster for General Escobar. Few
believed the limited rebel arlny-be-
lieved at best to number only 5000
men-Would be able to withstand
onslaught of $4,000 men under Cen
eral Gales.
Rebels Surrender
Events of yesterday bolstered op-
timism. Between Canitas and Du-
range City the Federal General Ro-
drigo Quegada caught up with the
Rebel General Francisco Urbalejo.
A hundred and thirty five of his
followers surrendered leaving him
with only a few followers. with
whom he himself escaped. The sur
render occurred between the rail-
road stations of San Felipe and Pas
terlera.
At Sunta Lucrecia, Southern Vera
Cruz, General Alexandra Mamie, re-
celved the voluntary unconditional
surrender of General Simon Aguirre,
brother OF General Jesus M. Aguirre,
leader OF the revolt in Vera Cruz.
Twelve lower ranking officers and
thirteen soldiers surrendered with
Agulrre. The prisoners were taken
to AguSto, Vera Cruz, to await court
martial. Troops continued close
pursuit Of General Jesus M. Aguirre.

the only remaining large contingent
OF rebel troops in Vera Cruz at
Juanlta yesterday definitely removes
the south from the revolt.
Alamazan Leads Advance
In the north, however, aside from
the minor movement against Du-
range the federal activities had
three phases, n of them not at all
clear. There was of course the gen.
eral offensive against Torreon bv
General Gales. who may reach the
Coahuilan city either today or to-
morrow.
A government statement said
General Juan Andrew Almazan was
leaving Monterrey for an offensive
Saltlllo. The wording of the state
ment indicated a body of rebel
troops was operating in that district.
Alamazan had been previously of
Coahuila but rather far removed
from other rebel activity in the
state.
Official announcements said a
rebel advance guard of 400 or 500
of the army of General Roberto
Cruz had reached Quila, south of
Cuiliacan, Sinaloa, and was con-
tinuing its advance toward Mazat-

on their Torreon base.
Government circles generally ex-
pressed belief that the rebel move

the federal forces approached, but

resistance.
General Gales was reported to

They were moving all of them to

Rebel leaders have been Informed
that Gales army is about at Ca

Torreon is rugged and for miles the
federal troops must cross an almost
waterles desert to reach their objec-

olutionists have torn up railroad
tracks and destroyed railroad bridges
on the route. The federal army
may be delayed several days, and
such delay would permit considerable
massing of troops by the rebels.

A Southern Pacific of Mexico
Mexico brought twenty American
citizens to Nogales today from
Culiacan, Sinaloa, and surrounding
country which has been traversed
by the rebels in their march to the
south against Mazatlan.
The Americans, most Of , them
leaving Mexico until the revolt is
ended, confirmed news dispatches
from the south that rebel troops
have penetrated beyond Culiacan.
The federal gsrrisons, most of them
small, and the police forces of
many tons through which the
rebels marched, fled before the adj
vance, the travellers said.
