FAMOUS HERO
TO CONSIDER
FEDERAL AID
AImazan Was Leader
Who Routed Rebels
At La Reforma

General Juan Andrew Almazan
secretary of public works in the
cabinet of President Ortiz Rubio OF
Mexico, and hero of the revolution
last spring, will visit Nogales within
the next week. He is daily expected
to arrive here.
Almazan is coming to Sonora to
look over number of projects,
such as road building, irrigation
dam near HermoSillo, etc., which
are slated to receive federal aid.
Almazan is the famous Mexican
military leader whose strategy re-
suited in severe defeat for the
Escobar rebels at La Reforna in
Chihuahua a year ago this spring,
that battle being the decisive con-
flict of the revolution. After the
La Reforma disaster the rebels were
continually retreating and quickly
bottled up" in Sonora.
General AlmaZan has been one OF
Mexico's outstanding military men
since the opening of the Madero
revolution in 1910. Prior to joining
the Madero revolt he was law
student in Pueblo, of which his bro
ther, DR.. Leonides Andrew Almazan,
is now governor.

a visitor here Saturday from Los
Angeles where, as an exile, he now
occupies his time interpreting, tea
ching and writing.
Manrique is well remembered here
as the last rebel leader to flee from
Nogales, Sonora, when the revolt
collapsed the latter part of last
April. After all other rebel leaders
"had flown the coop" he stood just
across the international line in No
gales, Sonora, for some time and to
him is largely due the credit that
the Yaqui Indians who had been
deserted by their officers, and who
had machine guns pointed toward
the United States, did not become
violent and stage battle with
American troops, something, If it
had happened, would have brought
about serious international compli-
cations.
The Plan of Hermosillo, so-called
because it was to start with the re-
volt of Sonora state officials in Her
mosillo, was evolved by Manrique,
who, during the rebellion, was CEN
sor of press dispatches for the reb-
els.
Manrlque was formerly governor
of San Luis Potosi and later one Of
the leaders of the Agrarian party in
the Mexican Chamber of Deputies.
He speaks five languages-G German,
English, Italian, Spanish and
French.

The meeting was featured by an

Gently announced his candidacy for

George w. Mickle, state chair
man, called the meeting to order
and introduced a number of promi-
nent Republicans.

the meeting declared that success
of the party in the coming general
election is dependent to "a large de-
gree on the type of candidates Of
fered to the electors"
1.-THE Republican party is COM
monty spoken of as the minority
party in this state" he said. "Fol
this reason, perhaps, it has not al

Rooming House and damaged
number Of business houses in
the Lyric Theater building on
the east side of Morley avenue
between East and Court streets.
The damage is estimated at be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000.
H. E. Dearman, who happened to
be driving along Morley avenue,
saw smoke rolling from window in
the north front room of the room

from the box at Court street and
Morley avenue. A telephone call to
the firemen was made at about the
same time from the office Of "El

twenty minutes later, at 9:55, a gen.
eral alarm was turned in, calling

which arrived at 10 o'clock, and the
Camp Stephen D. Little fire fight
ers, who reached the scene at 1902.
The blaze was one of the most
stubborn encountered by firemen in
many years in this city. Several
lines of hose poured water into the
blaze for more than an hour before
it was entirely under control.
The rooming house was conducted
by Mrs. Angelita Atchison, whose
husband is Elmer Atchison, a min
ing engineer now located in the
state of San Luis Potosi.
Mrs. Atchison, who purchased the
rooming house about three months
ago, was out motoring vixen the tlle
