VASQUEz GOMEZ ID
 SUCCEED OROZCO
Plan to Depose the Rebel Leader and Substitute
 De La Fuente

Fl Paso. Tex. July 1S.-Evidenee is in the hands of Mexican government agents here tending to show that Emilio Vas quez Gomez soon will be asked to assume the provisional presidency of Mexico and that Gen. Paseual Orozco, Jr., who re- pudiated him, will be deposed and sue ceeded by Gen. David De La F'uente. Rebel juntas are holding daily sessions here and in Douglas, Ariz.
 Emilio Vasquez Gomez is now in San Antonio, Tex. while General De La Fuente is said to have gone to Balti- more for medical treatment. A meeting between the two men at San Antonio Is looked for soon That General Orozco' 5 days as head of the present revolution are numbered is indicated by develop ments in Juarez of the last few days.
 The entire rebel force has been dis patched to points on the Mexican North western railroad. leaving garrison of only 150 men in Juarez. Persistent re- ports are that General Orozeo, after dis tributing the rebels at designated places on the border line between Sonora and Chihuahua, will resign as chief of the revolution and join his family in Cali fornia.
 It is known that Generals Salazar Campa and Rojas, the three principal military leaders. are in sympathy with the cause of Emilio Vasquez Gomez, having begun the revolution with the idea that lie would be civil head of it. The popularity of Orozco has waned with his consecutive defeats and his enemies now have become bold enough to launch the movement for the resurrection of Gomez.
 Reports from Casas Grandes tell of ex- tensive footing by the rebels. The rebel vanguard which has been moving west ward from Casas Grandes toward Colo mia Oxaia. 100 milSs away, was reported tonight to be near the latter place.
 San Antonio. Tex, July 13.-Emilio Vas quez Gomez tonight denied that he was going to Juarez or anywhere else to head q revolution party.

 In Old Birmingham
 Tn old Birmingham, with the excep- tion of the high service consumers, on the South Highlands. water bills can be considerably reduced by taking advantage of meter rates and the high service con sumers with their large lawns and Italian gardens, should be generous enough 10 let the small homes have their meters and pay only. within their minimum, for the water they themselves use
 Whether the works be procured by pur- chase or condemnation, it is of course essential to get the plant at the lowest possible price, and one of the surest ways of doing this is by the reduction of the income. Any schoolboy would know that the higher the income, the higher the price either by purchase or condemna- tion. Now. if the income has been re- duced about 100000 for the next eight years, it. is perfectly plain that the city will be benefited to that extent; for no expert or juror would allow the company as high a price with said reduced income as it would have allowed before the in- come was reduced on the Sd day of this month"

Alabamians, therefore, may get an op- portunity to hear the colonel in one of his spectacular appeals in behalf of the people and against the bosses.
 With this idea, no doubt in mind. the colonel severely rebuked Gen. Daniel E. Sickels of New York for his attempt to wave the bloody shirt in his recent at tack upon Woodrow Wilson and claimed for himself to be half Georgian" and declared that sectional lines were ob- liberated.

LORIMER PASSES
tcontinued From Page One. )


 July 6, he did so after he had put forth his most desperate effort to break down the stone wall of opposition that had been built up against him. He left nothing undone. He alternately stormed and pleaded. He attacked the Hearst newspapers because they had brought about the second investiga- ton which ended in his defeat and he denounced President Taft Theodore Roosevelt, William ] Bryan, Senator Kern and all others who had had a hand in it.
 and allowed the vote to be taken, he rose to heights of oratory seldonl reached even in the Senate.
 Much has been said" cried Lori mer after he had appealed to the dem- ocratic members of the Senate to sup port him, that Lorimer has pure pri- vate life. Senators, if you believe it, 1 ask nothing from you on that ground. It is no part of this case. l hope it will not influence any senator in mak- ing up his Judgment.
 Much has been said of my beautiful life. oh. yes, ideal" he exclaimed, sob bingly, and when l return home one glance at the beautiful faces, one kiss from each-ohi II is reeompense for all my troubles.
 The Hollow Square
 They'll not feel that I'm turned out in disgrace" He stood with outstretched arms facing the entire Senate. They'll form a hollow square and defend me against the world In that am l not blessed beyond my merit?' he cried And In all these trials and tribula- tions, with all that=surrounded by them-Im the happiest of men living and blessed by Gods sun.
 And I ask nothing of them because my home life is ideal--if such be the case
 loft they have said of Lorimer that his word Is as good as his bond-that he never turned on a friend-and ask nothing for that except the con sideration of the senators when they are making up their mind if they can believe Lorimer or Charles A. White. All I ask is to consider it in connec- tiun with a record of 40 years of truth and yeracity-not on my statement, but on the statement of my enemies as shown in the record. Believe the bribe taker. Believe the man who admits that he has time after time perjured his soul-or believe the other man.
 Much has been said about Lorimer's resignation The question comes up ev cry day: will Lorimer resign?' If I had believed when these charges were first made that one man had received for voting for me, l would have walked in and laid my resignation on the table But l know the history of the case, and I know the record and as God Is my judge-and some day 1 must be judged by Him--I know that no man was bribed to vote for LOT inner"
 He paused dramatically with hands upraised
 Resign in the face of that conven- tionr' he shouted. Why? Because they say the Senate has been canvassed and, right or wrong, there are enough votes to cast him out. Such an argument. Run from defeat? It stares you in the face? What sort of a man would he be to run from such a thing as that This is no chamber for towards It was not built on fear or cowardice. No man who will run because there is danger ahead Is fit to occupy seat in this body"
 A moment later he had finished.
