DOUGLAS, Ariz., Sept. 13.-Rebels
under command of Antonio Rojas to-
day began an attack on Auga Prieta.
The soldiers marched on the city from
the south and it was believed newt
able when the firing began that many
bullets would strike in American ter
ritory. Officers here today admitted
that they had orders to cross the bor-
der in case the bullets from either
the rebels or the federals fell on the
American side of the international

ed expectantly during the day for the
attack. They made few preparations
to meet the advance, although part OF
the force was shifted from the east
to the southern front of the village.
The skirmishing occurred between
a scouting party of the rebels, and an
outpost of the garrison. 1t is believed

bombardment will come from the
south. U. s. Consul Dye served not.

TIE NEWS OF The WEEK.

The present week will afford some
thing of breathing spell in the hard
fought contests for the presidential
nominations. The conventions and
primaries to be held will be neither SO
numerous nor SO important as those
that have marked the week just
closed.
The interest of the Republican poll
ticians will be confined largely to
Missouri and Iowa, where state con
ventions are to be held for the Sc
lection of delegates to the national
convention at Chicago. The Roose-
velt claims appear to be the stronger
SO far as Missouri is concerned,
though the Taft managers are not
ready to concede that they have lost
the state. In Iowa control OF the
state convention by the friends OF
President Taft is practically assured.
The Republican state and district
conventions in Rhode Island will be
held Wednesday. The Taft people are
in control Of the regular party organ
ization and expect to win out In the
convention. A different situation ex-
lists In New Hampshire, where tomoI.
rows primaries are expected to de
termine the complexion Of the Repub
llican state convention. Governor
Bass and strong progressive follow
ing in the Granite state are working
/ hard in the Roosevelt interests. En-
couragement has been lent to theli
efforts by the recent Roosevelt victory
in the neighboring state OF Maine.
In pursuance OF movement mi
tjated by President Taft, representa-
tiyes Of business organizations
throughout the country are to meet II

for the formation of national bcar'

REWARDS FOR POSTAL IDEAS

Representative Murdoch has intro
duced bill in the house authorizing
the postmaster general to pay a cash
reward to employees of the postal SER
vice who from time to time may make
suggestions for improvements in the

fiency or marked economy.
The postmaster general is given dis.
cretionary power to indicate at a
specified time any particular branch
Of the postal service in which he de-
sires to invite suggestions for i'm
provements by employees. No employe
may be paid to exceed 81 900 in any

BILE. Employees may receive no money

ton for the use of their suggestions

sage of his bill would result in many
wise suggestions from men who have
| practical knowledge and experience.
/ He thinks they are entitled to a fair
rate Of compensation for valuable sug-
gestions.
