as high as eleven pounds. This
scheme san be put into operation
with little IL any expense TO the gov
ernment
A recommendation is made that
congressional authority be given the
department for the issuance of postal
notes In amounts not exceeding ten
dollars. at lower fee than is
charged for money orders.
Mr. Hitchcock believes that many
abuses of the franking system could
be prevented. with marked economy,
by supplying special official envelopes
government. In the present circum-
stances, it is impossible to determine
the cost to the governmnt of the
franking privilege, but IL II were
hedged about by such plan as Mr..
Hitchcock suggests, il would be pos
sible to determine definitely the cost
OF carrying free mail for all eXecu-
tive departments and for the congress.
1t is indicated in the report that
the crusade by the postoftice depart
ment against the fraudulent use of
the mails has been pushed with great
vigor During the last few months
the principal officers of thirty-four
corporations and @firms have been
public by this method.
1T Is estimated the report says.
that the eighty important cases re-
Gently brought to q head represent
swindling operations that have
filched from the American people in
less than decade fully 100000
000,"
Mr. Hitchcock strongly urges that
the entire postal service be taken out
of politics. He says:
s'The recent order Of the president
on the recommendation
of the department, all assistant post
masters was an important step In the
right direction. AS still more inn
portant reform, presidential postmas-
ters of all grades from the first class
to the third, should be placed in the
classified service. This action, which
dis earnestly recommended, would un-
questionably result In a still better
standard of service"
A general extension of the civil SER
vice rules TO fourth class postmasters
is recommended, although some dis
advantages have developed in the ap-
plication of the civil service rules TO
postmasters of that class.
In conclusion, Postmaster General
Hitchcock expresses the hope that
congress will see it's way. clear TO
grant an annual leave of absence OF
thirty days to postoffice clerks, city
letter carriers. and to railway postal
clerks who are required to work six
days or more week throughout the
year.

100 cavalrymen and ten artillerymen
with rapid-fire guns left here tonight

aga on the Texas border. where revo-
lutionists are reporSed in ascendant.
General Hernandez stated tonight
that General Navarro expects TO at

about 100 miles west of here, tomor-
row. Although equal in numbers,
Hernandez declared that discipline and
organization Of the troops, together
with their artillery, would give them
victory. Rancho Is situated on mesa
and offers cover behind a stone fence
a mile long and in a hundred adobe
houses. There are many barbed wire
fences around cOrnfieids which will
offer serious obstacles to advancing
de;achments.

CHIHUAHUA LAWYER CAUGHT
AND FORCED no PAY RANSOM

El PasO, Texas, Dec. ll.-Chihua-
hua newspapers received here today
take a gloomy view of the lnsurrecto
movement in Chihuahua.
Bands of insurrectos are reported
in many localities, numbering alto
gether at least 5000. There arc re-
ports of many skirmishes and small
fights and several instances of citi-
zens being captured are mentioned.
1t is related that Lie Ernesto Gar
ella Leal, Juaz de Letrae of Cusihir-
schic, was captured by band Of in
surrectos and held for several days
for ransom, being finally released
upon the payment of 1000 pesos.
Leal was threatened with death un-
less the ransom was paid.
At Minaca a band of revolutionists
swooped down upon the office oil the
Mexico Northwestern and, seizing the
station agent and his office force, inn
pressed them into the service of the
insurrectos.
The situation is referred to by the
Chihuahua press as grim visaged
war and doubt is expressed as to the
probable end.

q senator served for several years on
the state supreme court bench and
subsequently was elected to the United
States senate.
He was serving his first term in
that body when President Cleveland
appointed him to the supreme court.
Judge Vandeventer, who is general
ly conceded tonight to be one of
President Tafts selections, as an asso-
eiate justice. participated in the now
in the eight circuit. Mr.. Taft deli
berated for some time as to the pro-
priety of taking a judge from this
circuit and elevating him to the su-
preme bench where he must pass
again upon these cases.
Judge Lamar Of Georgia, the demo-
crat who is said to have been selected,
has personally been known to the
president for several years Mr.. Taft
early decided that one of the new as
sociate justices should be a democrat.
Judge Lamar served two and half
years on the supreme court OF Geor-
gia and now is a leading member of
the southern bar.
His appointment will bring the
democratic representation on the su-
preme court up to three members, the
others being the new chief justice
and Mr.. Justice Lurton of Tennessee.
The total membership of the court
is nine. A final cabinet con-
ference to discuss judicial ap-
pointments was held at the White
House late today. 1t was attended by
the lawyer members Secretaries Knox,
Dickinson, Nagel and Attorney Gen
eral Wickersham. 1t was said to have
been Mr. Knox's influence which fin
ally turned the tide in favor of Judge
Vandeventer as against Judge Will

REPORTS OF INSURRECTION
DECLARED EXAGGERATED

Washington, Dec. 11.-DeclarlnS
that exaggerated accounts of the
revolutionary movement in Mexico
had magnified it's importance in the
minds of many Americans, Senor de
la Barra, Mexican ambassador to the
United States, said today that the
trouble had at no time approached
any significance.
Normal conditions he said, reign
throughout the republic, except in a
portion of Chihuahua where the gov
ernment's forces are pursuing four
hundred revolutionists.
His statement, he added, was bas-
ed upon official adviees from his gov
ernment which had kept him advised
of the progress of events, wherefore
he could authoratively say the lives
and interests of natives and foreign
ers alike were secure.
The ambassador said that several
revolutionary successes had been re-
ported and later denied (which un-
true sta aenents,' he said, have not
only reflected upon the reputation of
Mexico as a peace loving country, but
also have had their effect upon Am
orleans with interests in Mexico and
given rise to unrest and a spirit of
suspicion as to the security of such
interests. He said the government of
General Diaz was absolutely secure
and that foreign interests were in no
danger
Continuing the ambassador said:
"The seditionaries are being dealt
with in a lawful and orderly manner.
The cases of all who are taken into
custody because of their participation
in the rebellion are in the hands of
the Mexican courts.
"The revolt has demonstrated three
things. The strength of the govern
ment and the spirit of justice that
guides the people, the loyalty of the
army and the support by the people
generally of course of peace and or
der showing their satisfaction with
present conditions"
The ambassador said that not a sol
der had proven disloyal.

BARREN SHORT
SESSION Of
CONGRESS
THIS Is PREDICTION
OF MANY MEMBERS
Strong Opposition to Reap
portiOnment of House and
Task May Go Over Until Afte(
Democrats Gain Control,

IBy Morning Journal Special Lensed Wirel
Washington. Dec. 11.--A week OF
congress has not cleared the atmos-
phere as to whether there will be any
serious effort at tariff tinkering.
While many bills have been intro
duced for the repeal Of duties on
lumber, food products, coal and
many raw materials, they have com
from the democratic minority and are
regarded as indicating the intentions
of individuals next session when the
democrats win be in the majority.
In the senate the only tariff activ-
ity has been In connection with the
proposed amendment OF the rules
presented by Senator Cummins. The
change suggested Is designed TO per-
NIT revision by schedules and prevent
consideration Of amendments to
schedules other than those specific
ally under discussion.
The opposition to the proposed
change in the rules insists that il in
wolves cloture in a form that has
been repugnant for a hundred years.
Friends OF the Cummins scheme
point to President Tafts endorse
ment of tariff revision by schedules
and declare such q rule is necessary
If the presidents plan is to carry.
The passage through the house Of
two large appropriations was an un-
heard thing In the history of con
gress, especially when 1t was consld-
cred that they were the Indian and
rivers and harbors bills, both OF
which have precipitated controversies
and long debates heretofore. IL rs
expected the pension bill viii be re-
ported from the committee on hppfo-
priations Tuesday and that the legis-
lative, executive and judicial appro-
priation bills will be brought In :
Chairman Tawney has promised
Speaker Cannon and republican whip
Dwight that he can report others OF |
