the manuscript Of THE Garden Of Al
lah, which, by the way, is the Arab
designation for the great desert itself
This wonderful garden Is to be repro
duced as nearly as possible In the play,
and one Of the scenes will represent
the fumoir' or smoking apartment Of
the palace, wherein the famous little
blue dog appears In the decoration.
The camel procession, winding In
and cut among the trees of the prin-
cipal street OF Biskara, will be an
other of the scenes that Is to be
transplanted as nearly bodily as pos
sible in the play. The great sandy
stretch of the desert will be pictured
from photographs and colored plates
made by the travellers. The sand
diViner. who foretells the future in
the shifting sands Of the desert, as
the seeker after knowledge holds IL

that Is to be reproduced.

Transfer Is Made of
PoStofice Accounts

After today, Postmaster General
Hitchcock and the Postoffice Depart
ment, will have administrative juris-
diction over all postoffce accounts
Heretofore, some of the administrative
authority has been vested in the office
of the auditor of the Treasury for the
Postoffice Department.
The old system did not give a COM
plete double check on the department
expenditures of the department, in the
opinion of Mr.. Hitchcock, and several
months ago he ordered a reorganiza-
ton for October 1. AS a result eight
clerks and auditors have been trans
ferred from the auditors office under
the Treasury Department, to the Post
master Generals office under the Post
office Department.
In the future the only postoffice ac-
counts, that will be both approved
and reviewed in the auditors office,
will be the postmaster's expenditures
over receipts.

believe, the real crisis in Mexican af-
fairs will begin. The question is
whether Madero and the men he will
gather about him can hold the trouble
some elements in Mexico in check,
maintain order, and insure a govern
ment at once stable and sufficiently
liberal and enlightened to prevent re-
currence of revolt.
While the election of Madero has
the appearance of unanimity, it is
only the appearance. The opposition
to him is pumerous and powerful That
this opposition will seek to give him
trouble at every turn may be expected.
Madero's enemies do not believe he
has the capacity to hold things in or
der with firm hand. They believe he
is too weak to fill the shoes of Diaz;
but in this they may be mistaken.
The view commonly entertained here
is that the seating of Madero in the
presidency is merely the prelude to an
outbreak of trouble more grave than
that which overthrew Diaz. Such an
outbreak would, of course, mean that
the pressure on the United States for
forcible Intervention would be even
heavier. than last spring when Presi-
dent Taft overnight threw an Ameri-
can army corps and a powerful feet
to the border. Events in the early
months of Madero's term will be
watched with an interest not devoid
of profound anxiety.

WANTS MONUMENT
NEAR UNION STATION
To the Editor of THE TIMES: +

To the Editor Of THE TINES:
1t has been suggested that the Lin
coin monument be located between the
Capitol and Union Station. It does not
matter so much to the people of WASH
ingtor where II is located, but the
monument will be paid for by those
who keen .up'the Government all over
the United Sites, and It should be
placed where 1t can be seen by as many
outsiders as possible. 1t ehould be in
full view so that those who come and
70 at the station, many OF whom would
have no other opportunity, can get a
view Of 1t. Thev would appreciate 1t
more and more as time rolls by.

All High School Pupils
May Enter Rifle Matches

All high school pupils, irrespective OF
whether they are cadets or not, will be-
rifle matches to be held this month.
The place and the time for holding
the events are still to be decided. Fol-
Lowing a conference of high school rep
resentatives, with Assistant -Superin-
tendent E. L. Thurston, It was an
nounced that four competitions would
make uD the program, company, school,
rife club, and Individual matches.
II Is probable that the students will
go to some nearby Government rife
range. The shoot was formerly held In
November, but an effort will be made
to hold 1t in October this year.

NO ONE THOUGHT
OF AGED WOMAN?

Ding, Ding" Step forward please. A
little more. Make way for this lady,
please. Fares!
Pushing and showing, the conductor
forced his way through the car toward
the front, collecting fare after fare. and
registering them with the precision of
an automaton. Unnoticed on the rear
platform, stood an aged woman. Jostled
by the erratic jumps Of the car, from
passenger to passenger, breathing the
smoke Of cigars and cigarettes of all
grades and conditions.
Crash! Suddenly the car stopped.
Make room, please" begged the con-
ductor. Immediately there was a jam
Of masculine bodies. Two smartly
dressed young ladies boarded the car.
There was room.
On went the car. Passengers forced
their way off, and others forced their
way on. Through 1t all the aged woman
stood on the rear platform.

easy task to place a West Indian ele-

black who might have been picked up
on Broadway, instead Of this they sent
to Africa for Larbi. who will play the
fiute himself.
This is only one Of many instances
wherein 70 pains have been spared to
make the production as perfect as pos
sible.
