of Any Radicals
(By Associated Press)
Washington, April 30. - After
checking over confidential reports
from all parts of the country, officials
expressed the opinion that threatened
May day demonstrations by radicals,
would not result in any nation-wide
demonstration.
While taking this view of the, sit-
nation, the department of justice gave
warning to local authorities every-
where that if the radical elements
were to be kept under control every
aw enforcing agency, state, and fed-
ral, must be awake and equal to the
Langers read and fancied.

SONORA AMERICANS'
TOLD TO PAY TAXES
i x t r
FUEL AND IGHTING
COND ITION BETTER
Washington,, A;'brll 30.-Americans
doing buisness in the state of Sonora
and other parts of Mexico controlled
by the revolutionists have been au-
thorized to pay taxes and customs
duties to the de facto authorities. This
authorization, it was explained today
at the state department, is in accord-
ance with a recognized principal of
international law and does not
amount to recognition of the de facto
government. Inability of the recog-
nized government of Mexico to collect
duties and customs held by -the rev-
olutionists, it was said, cannot be per-
mitted to interfere with the regular
commercial transactions.
The state department received an
exhaustive report of conditions in
Vera Cruz from an American in that
city. The report states that warships
should be kept in readiness for dis-
patch to Vera Cruz. Although the
city was said to be quiet, possibilities
of trouble there w'ere described as
great. Officials for various parts of
Mexico indicate a growth of the rev- r
olutionary movement.
Local Companies Receive Sufficlent
Coal for Three Day Run at

RESTRICTIONS ON DISPLAY
LIGHTING STILL IN EFFECT
-~ i
Although the coal situation still re-
mains acute, enough fuel has been red
ceived by the Detroit-Edison company
and the Washtenaw Gas com*.ny to
allow them to furnish a normal'supply
of gas and electricity' to the city to-
day; tomorrow and Monday. Officials
of both companies stated that they
culd give no assurances as to wheth-
er a normal supply could be furnished
after Monday.
"I received word today that the
company will put on full power Sat-
urday morning," stated Mr. Herbert
Silvester, local manager of the De-
troit-Edison company yesterday after-
noon. "This does not mean that re-
strictions on windw display and elec-
tric signs have been lifted. The ban
on these will continue until further
notice."
