FROM CHIEF OF
STAFF TO A
BUS DRIVER
EL PASO, Tex., May 14 (by Asso
ciated Press).—From Chief of Staff to
General Felipe Angeles, member of
Provisional President Lagos Chaz
aro's cabinet, recipient of the French
Cross of the Legion of Honor, and
owner of a large fortune and estate,
to the business of driving a jitney
bus was the experience of Colonel
Frederlco Cervantes as related by
him. Colonel Cervantes told the
story of his experiences in Mexico
during the six years revolution as a
witness in his own behalf in the fed
eral court where he was charged and
convicted of setting on foot a military
expedition to join his former chief in
the field in Mexico.
Speaking in academic English, the
famous Mexican military leader and
aviation expert was permittd by the
court to relate his personal exper
ience which closely paralleled the stir
ring events which started with the
Madero revolution and ended—for
him—with the filabustering expedi
tion for which he must serve two
years in Leavenworth prison. Gradu
ating from the Chapuletpex military
academy at Mexico City with honors
as a lieutenant of engineers, he was
sent to France to study aeronautics
, by President Diaz, having been at
' tached to the First Regiment, French
engineers as a lieutenant. He re
turned to join the Madero revolution
and was made adjutant of the na
tional military academy. He was then
sent back to France by President
Madero to continue his aeronautical
studies. He attended the famous
French maneuvers as an observer for
the Mexican government and was
given command of a detachment of
20 French flying corps cadets.
Learning of the coup of 113 he re
turned from France, resigned his com
mission, removed his Legion of Honor
cross and joined General Carranza
as major of engineers. While experi
menting with aerial bombs during the
revolution he fell from an airplane
and was seriously injured. He was
with General Angeles when the latter
was commissiond chief of artillery
'.for the Constitutionalist army of the
north and later made Angeles’ chief
of staff. He testified he was made a
lieutenant colonel for valor during the
battle of Zacatecas.
Colonel Cervantes said he was
sent as a delegate from the army of
Sonora to the Constitutionalist con
vention at Aguascalientes at which
Francisco Villa and General Carranza
agreed to quit the party and permit
others to be named in their places.
This Villa did, Cervantes testified,
but General Carranza refused and de
cided to fight Villa..
"Tne convention men reueneu
( a number of the general joined Gen
? eral Carranza,” he said. “Eulalio
Gutierrez was named provisional
ji president but soon fled from Mexico
City. I was named as minister of
communications in the cabinet of pro
visional President Lagos Chazaro who
succeeded Major Roque Gonzales Gar
za, Gutierrez’s successor. I went to
southeastern Mexico, organized a col
Iumn to invade the north but was later
forced to come to the United States
after we were defeated by the forces
led by Carranza and Obregon and
after the United States recognized
Carranza.”
I “What were you worth at the time
i you were forced to leave Mexico
[ City?” his attorney asked.
I “I owned a home valued at 30,000
ft pesos and a large interest in an 80,
? 000 pesos estate,” he said.
“What were you doing after you
t came to El Paso?”
“I was driving a jitney bus,” he
answered.
Owing to the forest fires along the
right of way of the Nenana-Fairbanks
line the commision has found it
I necessary to put a crew' of men to
I work backfiring in order to protect
ft the roundhouse and other commission
■ buildings across the river. No fear
|| *• of the fire destroying these buildings
i Is now entertained.
I The "Scurvey Kid” and Dan Stacey
ft arrived at Nenana from “Eat-em-up
I Frank’s” place. They report that
P they were compelled to leave their
I I dog teamsthere as the ice was unsafe
for traveling. Frank Tondro, the
“Malamute Kid,” stayed there in
tending to come by the overland trail.
