REBELS IN MEXICO
CAPTURE MORELIA;
LOYALISTS ROUTED
MEXICO CITY, Jan. 26 —A seri
ous situation exists at Morelia, capi
tal of the state of Michoacan, where
federal plans have gone awry and
an overwhelming number of rebels
have the upper hand in bloody fight-’
ing, it was disclosed Saturday.
President Obregon, who recently
announcd that for strategic reasons
Morelia had been evacuated, to
tempt the rebels from their base
while the city was surrounded by
fedeTals, sent a wire to the war of
fice putting a different complexion
on the matter.
Obregon now says that white he
instructed the loyal garrison of 600
men to evacuate Morelia, the orders
arrived too late, and a rebel force
Os 3,500 had attacked.
The war office believed this aft
ernoon that Morelia had fallen.
It also announced that insurgents
under General Figueroa have con
centrated in the state of Mexico
with the apparent intention of at
tacking Toluca.
A south-bound passenger train
from Laredo is reported to have
been held up by rebels under Gen
eral Coss near Laventura. At Fraile,
another train, bound from Saltillo
to Concepcion del Oro mining camps,
was held up by this same band.
The war office announces that all
trains to and from the American
border hereafter will be protected
by one camouflaged armored engine
in front and one behind.
It was officially announced Sat
urday night that fighting is under
way in the neighborhood of Toluca.
Four gunboats lately purchased
by the government will leave New
Orleans Monday, reaching Tampico
Friday under - escort of the federal
gunboat Bravo. These vessels will
be used to blockade rebel ports.
Arrivals here from Vera Cruz say
the rebels are discouraged because
of support given President Obregon
by the United States government.

RALEIGH, N. C.. Jan. 26.—Enter
Smedley Butter, Quaker fighter; witte
his Quaker conversation interlaced
with the vocabulary of the Deri!
Dogs!
The people of the United States
hate a, dull time. They like pic
t iresque men who say things and do
things that are out of the common
place. In their hearts they loved
McKinley and honored Cleveland,
but Teddy could give them more ex
citement in a week than McKinley
and Cleveland in a year. A live presi
dent must not only show wisdom, he
must furnish thrills. When the war
ended none of the officers used
show-methods or hair-raising lan
guage to make them idols of the peo
ple who must be fed up on hot tamales
and hot sauce. Then came along
“Hell and Maria” Dawes. Pictur
esque and vivid, with a knowledge
of‘French that was understood alike
by the cowboy and the bondseller,
and courageous enough to tell the
plain truth, willing to offend the fel
lows who were playing politics and
wearing gum-shoes.
With the dispatch of Charlie
Dawes on the "unofficial” mission
of “talking Dutch” to the Germans
and the French, and interpreting the
true meaning of "Hell and Maria.”
who was left in America in public
position to entertain the people,
v ho would pull off stunts under the
Big Tent and make people sit up
and take notice? Calvin Coolidge is
calm, collected, cultured, considerate,
contented and constrained. No “bron
cho busting” or trapese acting from
the White House —only order and
quietness and the New England an
cient proprieties. There are plenty
of high-steppers in congress, too
many even for Mangus Johnson to
stay in the calcium light except by
the domestic and uninteresting stunt
of milking a cow. I mean a real cow,
not the sort of “milking” some folks
at Washington are fabled to practice
to their enrichment. About the time
that Monotony and Dullness (they
are generally found in pairs) were
opening the new year in a drab way,
Smedley Butler appeared on the
scene with his epigrammatic conver
sation and his Big Stick to clean up
Philadelphia.
Corrupt and Content
For a long time it has been said
that about the only difference be
tween New York and Philadelphia,
in the dealings with gamblers and
bootleggers, was that both were
equally wide open, but that Phila
delphia was “corrupt and content.”
while New York now - and then voiced
its discontent with its corruption.
“Them days is gone forever.”
Philadelphia, famed as slow, woke up
about Christmas, rubbed its eyes and
was possessed by a spirit that Emer
son would have defined as “divine
dissatisfaction.” Its people seemed
to learn for the first time that sa
loons and dens ran wide open in
defiance of law. The controversy
between President Coolidge and Sec-
. of state, dies after long illness. He

WILSON.—SaIes of leaf tobacco

retary Mellon on the one side and
Governor Pinchot on the other may
have had something to do with it.
With these eminent Republicans,
charged with executing national,
state and municipal laws engaged in
“passing the buck” (which is to
some public officials what golf is to
the retired capitalists), the folks in
the Quaker city could no longer shut
their eyes to lawlessness in their
midst. Tney elected a new mayor
just before they were making new
years resolutions. Their preachers
and papers cried out that the city
of B. Franklin and the Saturday
Evening Post (the biggest circulation
except the perambulating Henry)
was shamed by the disclosures. “The
Quaker City must, be made clean,”
was the demand. The mayor pledged
a city swept and garnished, with
bootleggers and the underworld
driven out. They had heard such
promises before. The “oM gang”
was supporting the mayor as he
promised to destroy them.
But this time it was not stand
ing on a platform to get in on. It
was not “bunk.”
Steam Engine in Breeches
The mayor proved his sincerity by
getting a steam engine in breeches
to do the job. Many well-meaning
executives fall down because they
take a weakling to do a man’s job.
But the mayor of Philadelphia se
lected Smedley Butler, a brigadie*
general of the Marine Corps. The
navy department consented to a
year’s leave of absence to give Phila
delphia a salutary dose of marine
discipline. For a generation when
theie has been trouble anywhere,
Uncle Sam has sent marines—often
under Butler. Within a few days
the statement would appear: “The
marines arrived and everything is
quiet.” General Butler, as boy and
man has been a securer of tranquil
ity. Sometimes he has secured order
in the Buck Fanshaw way, but he
would have peace if a few bandits - ,
had to be killed to secure it.
I well remember the first time 1
ever heard of Smedley Butler. His
father, now the honored chairman of
the naval affairs committee and a
Quaker without guile, was in con
gress, and I knew him as an excel
lent congressman. He is a Republic- I
an, and J, a Democrat, am glad to
pay him tribute. As a matter of fact, !
there is nothing I love better than |
a few Republicans—the fewer the ]
better on election day.
But I must talty about Smedley
rather than loin. In the early part
of the Wilson administration, Judge
Garrison, secretary of war, paid an
official visit to Panama. Upon his
return, he came into the navy depart
ment and said; “Daniels, I want to
tell you, if you don’t know it, your
marines are a credit to you, and you
have a marine officer in charge who
is doing something I am going to
recommend to army officers.” He I
told me that he visited the marines '
and found Butler had set up a school |
to teach all the enlisted men to
speak Spanish.

IN COAL MINE BLAST
SHANKTOWN, Pa., Jan. 26.
I Hope for the lives of some forty
miners entombed late Saturday by
an explosion in the Lancashire mine
of the Barnes and Tucker Coal com

when rescue workers reported that
the wrecked mine was dense with
“black damp,” and that water was
rising rapidly in the underground
passageways.
The fanhouse of the mine -was
wrecked by the terrific blast, and the
fan was put out of commission.
The poison gas, the water, the
lack of fresh air and a heavy fall of
rock, impeded the progress of volun

NEW METHOD
HEALS RUPTURE
Kansas City Doctor's Discovery
Makes Truss or Operation
Unnecessary.
Kansas City, Mo. — (Special) A
new discovery which, experts agree,
has no equal for curative effects in
all rupture cases, is the latest ac
complishment of Dr. Andrews, the
well-known Hernia specialist of l his
city. The extraqrdinary success of
this new method proves that it
holds and heals a rupture. It weighs
only a few ounces. Has no hard I
gouging pads, no elastic belt, no leg I
straps, no steel bands, and is us ■
comfortable as a light garment. It ■
has enabled hundreds of persons to !
throw a\vay trusses and declare their |
rupture absolutely healed. Many of I
these had serious double ruptures,
from which they had suffered for
years. It is Dr. Andrews’ ambition j
to have every ruptured person en
joy the quick relief, comfort and
healing cower of his discovery, and
he will send it on free trial to any
reader of The Journal who writes
him at his office, 1213 Koch Bidg., I
Kansas City, Mo. He wants one per- |
son in each neighborhood to whom |
he can refer. If you wish to be rid I
of rupture for good, without an op- i
eration, take advantage of 'he doc-1
tor's free offer. Write him today.

date, would drift to Mr. Fuqua. Mr.
Long carried 27 parishes, almost the
entire northern half of the state,
where it was stated the Ku Klux
Klan is unusually strong and where
the population is almost solidly pro
testant.
Mr. Bouanchaud, a Catholic, made
his campaign on an anti-klan ticket
and said he did not want the vote of
klansmen and would not appoint a
klansman to office if elected. He
carried the French Catholic parishes
by heavy majority. Mr. Fuqua, a
Protestant, while denying any klan
affiliations, is considered by many
as the second choice for the bulk
of the Long supporters. In the
run-off, a lieutenant governor, at
torney general, auditor and treasure
er also be selected.
Salt Is Life’s Elixir,
British Experiments
With Miners Reveal
LONDON. Jan. 26.—Experiments
conducted by London scientists tend
to show that salt is in reality the
“elixir of life.”
Professor K. Neville Moss says
that by persuading miners to drink
a solution of salt, about 20 per cent
can be added to their efficiency.
Miners working in hot, dry places
drink large quantities of water and
perspire freely. This oftentimes
causes cramp and -fatigue. Accord
ing to Professor Moss’ prescription
a solution of salt in water to bal
ance the loss of salt by perspiration
was given.
The results were striking. In one
instance a, miner, of poor physique,
drank eight pints of water during
his shift. After taking salt each
day for three months he showed no
signs of cramp. Evidence showed
that:
His appetite had much improved;

Bill to Aid Farmers
In Diversifying Crops
Nears Senate Floor
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.—After
several weeks of hearings, the senate
agriculture committee today began
preparations to perfect the Norbeck-
Burtness crop diversification bill and
report it to the senate early next
week as the first step in a program
for farm relief.
Amendments to the bill were dis
cussed at a closed session of the
committee after Secretary Wallace
had appeared at a. public hearing and
indorsed the McNary-Haugen bill to
create an agricultural export cor
poration.
It was understood that a majority
of the committee gave their approval
to the Norbeck-Burgess bill, but a
vote was deferred until Monday. The
bill would appropriate $50,000,000 to
be loaned to farmers in amounts up
to SI,OOO, to permit them to diversify
crops. One amendment adopted to
day makes it optional with the sec
retary of agriculture as ter the local
agencies he would use to pass upon
the qualification of the borrowers,
ar ether gives the secretary final au
thority in all appeals, and a third
strikes out the provision which al
lowed the use of two per cent of the
fund for administrative expenses
which would be provided for in an
appropriation bill.
He felt quite fresh after a shift
in the mine, whereas formerly he
had been forced to stop work at
12:30 p. m. daily owing- to excessive

HOOVER DECLINES
FLORIDA OFFER US
MURKETI CHIEF,
TAMPA, Fla., Jan. 26. Herbert
Hoover, secretary of commerce, ex
pressed the belief in a telegram re
ceived here today, that the problem
of marketing Florida products is in
volved in the national problem of
marketing perishables, and that he
can better serve the growers of Flor
ida by remaining at his present post.
His name and that of Roger Babson,
statistician, had been mentioned in
some quarters in connection with a
movement to appoint .a director of
marketing for Florida, and telegrams
to each asking whether they would
serve were sent.
Mr. Babson stated some days ago
that he believed the problem could
best be met by closer organization
and co-operation of all persons in
terested in fruit and vegetable grow
ing and marketing in the state. This
opinion was concurred irt by a num
ber of men prominent in the indu»- •• 5
try throughout the state. ,

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.—The lowly
gallus, lifted from its humble state
when Rodolph Valentino was discov

pretty pink ones, has been re-estab
lished definitely in fashion’s favor.
According to Samuel Regal, of the
Merchant Tailors’ association, the
proper dress decree bearing on the
point is:
"Suspenders shall be worn in
place of belts except in summer
when summer apparel not in
