Members are Noncommittal

: The attitude Of the members of the
house committee on postoffices and
post roads is typical of the general
view on the subject in the lower
branch of congress-. Representative
Moon Of Tennessee, the new Demo-
cratic chairman Of the committee,
said today he would decline to an
nounce his stand on the parcels post
pending an investigation of the prop
osition, and similar attitude was ex-
pressed by Representative Lloyd of
Missouri, chairman of the subcom-
mfttee, which will conduct the hear
ings. Representative Cox of Indiana

two hours Of the fighting today.
The range of the federal artillery
was remarkably accurate, their shells
landing close to the oncoming insur-
rectos and forcing them to scatter
their advance. 1t was obvious at the
outset that the heavy artillery of the
federals gave them tremendous ad-
vantage. The federal machine guns
kept up sweeping fire within every
radius of the town. The canonnad-
ing cunttiinucd- -sio~H .FFAhee-rebsls
used their machine guns sparingly
while the federals poured their shells
into the insurrecto outposts.
The rebels have abandoned firing
their field pieces for fear of hitting
their own men who are in all parts of
the town. None of the rebel leaders
have been wounded thus far. A big
explosion near the church at the head
of Commerce street shortly before
noon is believed to have been fed
eral mine, though it may have been
caused by the dynamite bombs which
the insurrectos are throwing.
An Associated Press correspondent
returned from the interior of Juarez
at 1919 O'clock and reported that the
rebels are slowly gaining possession
Of the town. The federals are keep
ing up a continuous fire from the
church in the center Of the town but
from no other point.
The insurrectos are concealing their
whereabouts by withholding their
fire and are skulking behind houses In
gradual advance toward the feder-
al stronghold.
