Mexico City, Oct 13 W) Gen. Ar- nulfo Gomez, rebel leader sought by the Government In Vera Crus State, is accompanied only by mountain eers, according to officers heading the 600 surrendered soldiers of Gen. Hector Almada's column, who have arrived at Jalapa, capital of the State.

No soldiers remained with Uomez after the defeat of his followers by Federal forces in western Vera Cruz on Sunday, they declared. The officers are Capt. Julian Castrejon and Lts. Jose Prado, Angel Ibanez, Oscar Agullar and Kef ugio Aleaama. Deceived by Almada.

Thev claim they were ordered to leave the Mexico City garrison by General Almada, who told them gen. Roberto Cejudo had revolted in Vera Cms State and should be fought. Almada's deceit was not revealed, they asserted, until airplanes flying over the the mountain region near Perote. where they were Intrenched, dropped printed sheets reminding the soldiers of their duty. Thereupon they decided to surrender.

The rebel forces at that time were composed of soldiers and Vera Cruz mountaineers who had been in the field some time under various chieftains. During Sunday's combat at Ayau-hualulco the soldiers did not fight, according to the officers, but withdrew toward Cosautlan. The rebel Generals with the mountaineers over took them and kept strict vigilance until nightfall, when the soldiers decided to resume their march, fighting the pursuing mountaineers until they reached Cosautlan. Twenty-five sol diers, overcome by fatigue, were captured by the mountaineers and were believed to have been executed. The officers asserted that uomez was seldom seen among the rebel forces and was always followed by 20 rugged mountaineers.

The surrendering soldiers were taken to Jalapa, disarmed and confined In barracks pend ing final instructions as to meir ais- posal. Bays Kevon is uver. Vm Mexico. Oct. 13 W) Gen.

Jesus Agulrre has returned to Jalapa from the campaign In which the Federal forces claim to have routed the rebels under Gens. Arnulf Gomez and Hector Almada. General Aguirre, who co-operated with General Gonzalo Escobar in the campaign, declares the military aspect of the revolt enaea wnn me surrenaer of the major part of the troops, headed by Gomez and Almada. The troops, he said, would be treated leniently, as they had been deceived by their leaders. The two leaders, he asserts, are leit with only small groups of followers, and these are fugitives who engaged in mauraudlng long berore ine outbreak of the military revolt.

They are being pursued by Federal troops.

Sergius de Witte, Minister of Finance to the late Czar Nicholas the Second of Russia.

As a result of the fall of the Romanoffs. Manhattan offers, as the latest thrill to the Jaded feminine palate, the opportunity of being handed one's breakfast coffee by a young Russian nobleman, who has been the guest at dinner of William Jay SchiefTelin, former Ambassador Crane, J. P. Morgan, Henry Morgan-thau and other prominent Americans who knew his grandfather. Rooms on the twelfth floor of the Waldorf are, therefore, at a premium and all sorts of fetching negligees are donned when feminine guests now telephone the pantry and say coquet-tlshly, "Count, may I have my breakfast now.

please?" with a rising inflection which demands reply, whereas a week ago it was merely, "Breakfast please, William," click. Engaged to Princess. The fact that the Count was affianced in his cradle to the beautiful blond Princess Marie de Bourbon de Parme, cousin of the King of Spain and sister of the luckless Empress Zita of Hungary, is not known to the members of the fair sex who take such a lively Interest in the titled waiter. The fact, however, was announced when the Count arrived here in 1920. "And sometimes I do wonder If we shall ever marry because I will not until I can support her," said the Count, his rough brown head outlined against the pantry refrigerator.

"If she dies an old maid she must blame herself, because, though I do love her, I cannot wed her and I offer her her freedom and she does not take It," and the tall young Russian looked thoroughly miserable and then flashed his engaging smile. He is built on the lines of Colonel Lindbergh and has clear blue-gray eyes and a nose which is suggestive of the Hapsbergs. His color comes and goes when he is embarrassed, as he is often these days, and while he speaks six languages his English has a charm which the formalist lacks. He wore the gold braid and satin lapels and long coat tails of all the waiters at the hotel and seemed the best of pals with the other waiters on shift with him. Offered Everything but Job.

On his arrival In the United States at 20 years of age the young Russian was offered everything except a Job that paid as well as does that of a waiter. And as to marrying for money and bestowing his title "The answer Is, I've been here eight years and didn't. If that had been my game I'd have played that hand by now, wouldn't he asked, looking so likable that the reporter wondered how he'd escaped. "I wrote a number of stories which were published, and a book in Italian, and I've worked as a reporter but I can't average more than $50 a week at it," he explained. "Here I get a small salary and in addition my tips are $25 for each day or two.

So you see this pay3 better than working in a bank or teaching or being a reporter. I was paid $25 a week to read all the newspapers, clip the foreign news and write a weekly page for one paper. Likes Ills Job. "America pays more for manual labor than it does for brain work, and so I'm doing this Job and I like It and I do hope they'll let me keep 1L. I've tried hard to be a good waiter.

I think there's a future in the hotel business for good waiters who study It. Count de Witte is the grandson of a Princess of Saxe-Coburg, a member of the royal house of Germany, whose marriage to the wealthy Sergius de Witte of Russia, not titled at that time, was regarded as a morganatic one. "My grandparents had three daughters, and I am the son of the eldest, who married Prince Charles Louis Bourbon of Italy. My two aunts are Lady Adele Madison of England and the Baroness Bol-schwing, who died last year. They and my grandfather brought me up, my parents died when my two sisters, my brother Edmond and myself were children.

My sisters are the Countess Dlstafano of Naples and the Princess Pontanello of Madrid." Tho Count's brother, who served In the war. died soon afterward, leaving him the sole male heir of his line. Recognized by Woman. It was when serving breakfast In the suite of a woman from Miami that the Count was recognized. He had brought in breakfast to two women guests of the hotel when one suddenly rose and.

extending her hand, exclaimed, "Why, Count de Wittee." what are you doing here?" The Count was forced to do what no waiter does shake hands with the lady and beat a hasty retreat, his coat tails flying behind him. It was learned today that one of the Van-derbilts gave him the letter of Introduction that landed him his (nb ahead of a long waiting list of applicants. "Of course my Hie is clmnged," said the Count, "but that's true of many Russians. No, I won't reveal who they ate, but I have ten Russian friends In Jobs not unlike mine. One Is a cook.

RIGHT TO THE JAW ENDS HOLDUP PLAN Exhibiting a faint bruise on the point of his chin, John Sullivan, 27, of 367 Hudson Manhattan, was In the lineup at Police Headquarters today, charged with attempted robbery. The attempt ended when Harry Halter of 6112 Snyder ave taxicab chauffeur and Sullivan's intended victim, sent a terrific right to the jaw that sent the would-be holdup man down for the count. According to Halter, he had taken Sullivan to 428 W.

62d St, Manhattan, late yesterday, and was told to step Into the hall to collect the 70-cent fare. In the hall Sullivan demanded that Halter "come across with your money."

South Vineland poultry raiser, is charged wnh the murder of the woman's husband, "to the limit." Harry T. Lllliendahl, a brother of the slain physician, was quoted as having made this statement last night after a visit with his sister-in-law la the county Jail, where she and Beach are held without bail awaiting trial.

Beach's family also is standing solidly behind him. His wife, daugb-ter-in-law and his brother's wife, Mrs. Poy Beach, spent about an hour with hun yesterday and said they would do everything posilble to aid him. Beach's wife has expressed "absolut confidence" in his Innocence. Harry Lllliendahl, a New York lawyer, said he had followed the case closely and had found no reason to doubt his sister-ln-law's story that Dr.

Lllliendahl had been shot to death by two negroes who held them up while they were motoring on a lonely road near Hammonton Sept. 15. The widow said the negroes had robbed her of diamonds and other Jewelry after shooting her husband three times. "I am going to stand by Margaret to the limit," her brother-in-law was quoted as having said, "and so are all of the Lllliendahl family. That means to the fullest extent of our means and the limit of our loyalty.

No one who has ever known her could believe her guilty of the crime with which she 11 charged or of any other crime."

INSURGENTS "Not Concerned" Over Western Bloc but Take Steps to Conciliate Them. Washington, Oct. 13 OP) While disclaiming any feeling of real concern, Republican Old Guard leaders concede they are closely observing developments In the conferences of Senate Insurgents now In progress here. They are especially interested In what this group, composed entirely of Senators from the far West, may do with respect to the Presidential situation; whether they will get behind Norrls of Kansas, in the Presidential primaries, or support Lowden, of Illinois, or fall to come to any agreement as to a candidate. The regular party leaders are doubtful, however, that an Insurgent movement will meet with the success even in the large agricultural States that some of the directors of the movement now hope for.

Conciliation Hint Whether the insurgents agree on a candidate, their movement already has brought conciliatory expressions from the delegated leaders of the party In the Senate. In the matter of increased tariff protection for farm products of the West, stressed by Senator Borah, of Idaho, both Senator Curtis ot Kansas, the Republican floor leader, and his assistant, Senator Watson, of Indiana declared there would be little difficulty. Should the Insurgents be able to organize on the scale they have outlined, they will have a larger welded group than ever before in the Senate and they would constitute a force with which the Old Guard leaders would have to reckon, particularly in view of the strength of the Democrats. West Holds More Places. As to the contention that the Republican party is too much East ana not enough West, leaders direct attention to the large share Western Senators and Representatives have In affairs of both branches of Congress.

Of the 20 major committees of the Senate, Senators from the far West are chairmen of 14; those from the central West are heads of two with only four from the East holding chairmanships. The Democratic party leaders also are planning to hold consultations here on the coming Presidential campaign, it is indicated with the announcement that Clem L. Shaver, chairman of the party's National Committee tomorrow and Saturday will come to confer with prominent Washington Democrats on the party's affairs.
