Rebel State Acts Vigorously.

New York Times 100 years ago today, March 7, 1913:
    HERMOSILLO, Sonora, Mexico, March 6.— A rigorous censorship was installed here to-day by the Sonora State Government, which yesterday waved the banner of State rights in the face of the Huerta Government. Officials of the new regime to-day seized the railway station and telegraph offices of the Southern Pacific of Mexico and placed all outgoing news under the ban. The censorship also applies to the commercial wires.
    The railway operator in Carbo, a nearby station, was told that if he permitted any more news to be transmitted he would be shot, and that if he told of the threat to shoot him he would be shot. All train service except that conciliated by the State authorities is annulled.
    In the night volunteers arrived in great numbers in answer to the appeal of the State Congress for men to combat any intrusion of Huerta troops.
