GUATEMALA.REBELS
SEIZE. TWO TOWNS
Gen. Jorge Ubico- Is Said. to
Be- at Head of Insur-
- -. y
gent. Forces. ...

! BY the Associated Press.
MEXICO. CITY. january ia re-
volt in Guatemala was described today
in advices from the border stating two
towns were in the hands of rebels.
Dispatches from Suchiate on the
Guatemalan border said that Gen. Jorge
Ubico, one of three generals who over
threw the Carlos Herrera government
six years ago, was at the head of the
insurgents.
The rebels captured the towns of Re-
talhuleu and Mazatenango in the ex-
treme Northwest of the country.
Communication with the capital at
Guatemala City was cut off. All traffic
over the border was stopped.
Gen. Ubico is a member Of wealthy
Guatemalan family and has been prom
inent in the army for years. After the
Carlos Herrera revolt he became min
ister of war, and one of his allies. Gen.
Orellara, became President The other
general who joined in the revolt, Miguel
Larrabe, is now minister of war, and
upon him will probably fall the duty o.
suppressing his erstwhile ally.
When President Orellana died on
September 26. 1926. Gen. Ubico was
one of those who sought the presidency.
The choice, however, fell on Gen. Lazaro
Chacon, who was elected for a full term
on December S. 1926.
Last September President I,azaro
Chacon suspended constitutional guar
antees for six months, an action tanta-
mount to the establishment of martial
law The reason advanced for this
Step was the claim that the opposition
was engaged in seditious activities.
The Guatemalan Minister to Wash
ington in October made public COM
munication from the minister of for
eign affairs. which said, Guatemala
enioys undisturbed internal peace, and
order prevails throughout the country.
Not a single citizen has been impriS-
oned for political reasons"
Guatemalans in Mexico City said that
the revolt had been expected in view of
the dissatisfaction of certain army
leaders.
The newspaper Ell Universal COM
menting on the triumvirate of Gems.
Ubico Orallana and Larrave said that
at the time of their coup d'etat in 1922
they agreed to succeed one another as
heads of the government, each holding
office one term.
Gen. Orellana's death before his term
expired resulted in the election to the
presidency of Gen. Chacon, who COM
promised with Larrave, giving him the
portfolio of minister of war. Gen. Ubico
thus stripped of one ally by death and
the other by compromise, became dis
satisfied.
The paper added that 1t was believed
that President Chacon launched a cam
paign to make Gen Ubico unpopular
among the people with the result that
the general took the field against the
government.

Stewart Denies Seeking Proxies.
Stewart denied he had invaded the
Rockefeller stronghold in quest of
proxies to. be voted at the annual meet
mig of the company March II. He said
his trip from Chicago was in the inter-
est of internal affairs of the company.
From Ormond Beach, Fla. spokes-
man for John D. Rockefeller, sr., sent
word that the elder Rockefeller had no
comment to make on reports that he
had brought his influence to bear In
behalf OF his son.
Stewart said he would not believe that
the elder Rockefeller would take sides
against him until he had positive proof
| of it, At the Rockefeller Offices here it
was said that it was ''inconceivable"
| that Rockefeller. sr., should not be in
accord with his SON
Stewart Optimistic.
| Stewart radiated an air of optimism
and said he had the full support of the
board of directors and the organization
of the company. He said he would
indulge in no band wagon talk" and
pointed out that proxies could be re-
voked.
Rockefeller's desires to keep the con-
+, test on high plane was referred to in
correspondence with an unnamed stock
holder made public by the Rockefeller
| Offices.
The stockholder inquired whether
! Rockefeller had any information or any
| opinion that Col. Stewart had orig
| inally intended keeping the bonds he
had in his possession for his own per-
sonal ase.'
In an answer written by Thomas M
! DebevoiSe, one OF Rockefeller'S aSSo-
ciates. it was assumed that the bonds
to which the stakeholder referred were
the Continental Trading Co. bonds con-
cerning which Stewart was called before
the Senate committee to testify in the
Teapot Dome investigation. 1t was be-
cause his testimony displeased Rocke-
I! feller that he asked Stewart to resign
his chairmanship, request which was
refused and which led to the present
battle.
No Opinion Expressed.
Debevoise told the stockholder that
Rockefeller had no information con-
cerning Stewards intention to keep the
bonds and declined to express any opin-
len.
IF Mr.. Rockefeller started to make
such comments" Debevoise wrote Ibis
contest with Col Stewart would rap
idly fall from the high plane on which
he thinks it should be kept He thinks

seriously impaired and that It cannot

Is BLAMED ON SUIT
American Delegation Reports Gen

LONDON. January 19.-Hope that the
courts would find that Gen. Bramwell
Booth has no legal grounds to prevent
his being ousted from command of the
Salvation Army was held today in re-
form circles.
Lawyers of the army were understood
to have assured the reform party in
the high council that they had nothing
to fear from the surprise injunction
sprung by the general as the council
met to choose his successor. They were
confident that the Chancery Court
would set aside. the. injunction when the
case is called on Monday and the coun-
Gil will be left free to proceed with
election OF new general on Tuesday.
Salvation Army circles were grief
stricken over the death of Commissioner
HaineS, vice president of the council,
feeling that it was directly caused, by
word of the injunction. He had just
finished a speech on the oppression of
the present system of the army during
which he had been frequently annoyed
by interruptions from Catherine and
Mary Booth, daughters OF the general.
Reports Loss 'of Support.
How did he do it" he, exclaimed,
when told of the injunction. He shud-
dered and dropped dead.
spokesman for the American dele
CATION said that Gen. Booth had lost
three of. his eight supporters by his
legal action: Commissioners. Cunning
ham, Laurie and Smith, on hearing of
the court action, disavowed any re-
sponsibility for it. They declared before
members of the council that they had
been alienated from the generals cause
by his step.
The same official said that the army
regulation that no soldier could go to
law with another had been violated by
Gen. Booth himself. He pointed out
that although the Booths said the legal
action was a friendly" test case, it
would not be so friendly were they to
win.
Denies Responsibility.
Comdr. Evangeline Booth, sister of
the general and head of the army in
the United States, said that she had
been much distressed at reports circu-
lated in America that she had insti-
gated calling the high council with the
idea of ursurping the power of her
brother.
1.-The high council was called by seven
commissioners in London" she said. Il
had nothing to do with it. 1 also wish
to make it clear that 1t is untrue that
Gen. Bramwell Booth has control of
the armys properties and other assets
in America 1t is we'll known that the
Salvation Army in America is an in
corporated body under the laws of va
rious States in which 1t works and that
all assets in the army IN America are
held by trustees under those corpora
tions."

BY spreading the business district
onto several streets, rather than
running long distance on one
street, city has more avenues of

speaker, more parking space and

Parks Necessary
On the subject of parks. DIR. Aro-

themselves by raising the tone of the

parks and Fairgrounds are a ncces-
sity; not merely piece of land with
lot Of trees on it, but parks which
arc different, pleasing to the eye and
contributing to the spiritual feeling
of the citizens. Parks are the
spiritual windows of community, .
he said, "and now is the time to ac
quire the land, while it may be had
at reasonable prices. > He also urged
that, if civic center is built, to
make each unit an architectural gem.
After his address, DIR. Aronovici
answered questions of those attend
ing the luncheon and his suggestion
as to how to proceed with the ZOn-
ing and planning in FL Centre was
for the city planning commission to
make survey of the city, get maps
and study what can be done in thel
future and to make the best of what
now exists.

COURT RELEASES
H0LTVlLLE MEN
ON HABEAS WRIT

Earl Sharp and Don Sergeant
Holtville ranchers, were released
from the county Jail this morning un-
der bonds of 5000 each when their
attorneys, Utley and Nufter, obtain
ed writs of habeas corpus from Judge
\. c. Finney.
The two men were confined after
they were tried Tuesday in Holt
vile on fighting and disturbing
the peace charges and were fined
500 each or three months in Jail.
Jadge Harris of the iioltvilIe police
court sentenced the men.
Sharp and Sergeant protested the
verdict and it is understood they
will carry the matter to higher
courts. 1t was reported they had
fought with Mexican after the
latter had allegedly sworn at them
following an automobile accident.
According to Judge Harris this
morning the two were convicted on
evidence that indicated they were
to blame in the fight that cnsued
after cars belonging to Charles
Cromwell and the Mexican had col
lided.
Judge Harris stated that his find
ings were based on the facts brought
out in the trial which were to the ef-
feet that Sharp and Sergeant had en-
tered discussion between the Mex
lean and Cromwell and assaulted the
former without provocation. The
Mexican was fined 800 for fight
ing but the sentence was suspended.
