JURORS' NAMES
 PLACED IN BOX
Between 12,0O0 and 15,OOO Names Secured by Jury
 Commission

The jury commission of Jefferson county, G. II. Estes. chairman; J. T. Batson and Fred J. Staley, has placed the names of the persons liable for jury duty in the several county courts the coming year in the jury box There were between 12,OO0 and 15.00o names deposited according to the estimate of the clerk of the jury commission.
 The names are written on plain white cards with at least one of the christian names of the person. his place of resi- dence precinct and his place of busi- ness. These names have been carefully gone over by the jury commission and all those disqualified set aside. The cards are placed in a metal box pro- vided with q lock and two keys, one for the jury commission and one for the judge who draws the jury. No other person has any right to open the box
 The clerk of the commission, acting under their direction, visits each pre- cinet of the county and obtains the names of every male citizen of that pre- cinet over the age of 21 and under the age of 65, and their occupation and place of business. The names of such persons are submitted to the commits sion which has the right to reject the name of any person for cause.
 Section of the jury law reads: "rhe jury commission shall place on the jury roll and in the jury box, the names of all male citizens of the county who are generally reputed to be honest and in- telligent men, and are esteemed in the community for their integrity good character, and sound Judgment, but no person must be selected who is under 2l or over 65 years of age, or who is an habitual drunkard, or who being af- hicted with permanent disease or physical weakness is unable to dis charge the duties of juror, or who cannot read English, or who has ever been convicted of any offence involving moral turpitude. If person cannot read English but has all the other qualifi- cations prescribed herein, and is a free holder or householder his name may be placed on the jury roll, and in the jury box"
 The jury commission state that there are many more names in the jury box than will be required during the com ing year and that there is no necessity for any person serving more than one week during the year.

REBELS MOVING OUT
 OF STATE OF MEXICO
Burned Villages Left Be hind-Trains Are Fired
 Upon

Mexico City, December 15.-Leaving be- hind the remains of burned villages and wrecked property of hacienda owners, the rebels appear to be moving out of the state Of Mexico into the states of Puebla and Morelos, particularly the latter. In line with. their tactics they are declining the issue in General Blanquets campaign in the state of Mexico, even before it is fairly under way
 This doubtful success of General Blan- quet in ridding the state of Mexico of the insurrectos, even if this is accomplished is recognized at the capital as merely ries of small fights has characterized the past week, in which the federals for the most part have been victorious, be- cause the rebels invariably retired. But their campaign of destruction is unabat- ed, while the government troops are continuing the war Of extermination and the bodies of rebels and those supposed to be in sympathy with them are hang ing from the trees.
 In the states of Morelos. Puebla and Guerrero, railway communications are in- terrupted at various points and stories of trains being fired upon are received almost daily.
 Two trains were in collision near Cu- autla yesterday as the result of such attacks. A passenger train proceeding under military escort was attacked. The commander of the escort ordered the train stopped and deployed his men in anticipation of an engagement. A freight train, following the passenger. was at tackled by another band. The engineer opened the throttle and ran for safety A serious collision occurred, in which seven persons were killed and a large number injured.
 From the middle states. Michoacan, Guanajuato, Jalisco, Zacatecas and Du- rango, government officials are sending optimistic reports. but raiding and fight ing continues. Cheche Campos, one of the most prominent rebel leaders in Du- rango and Zacatecas, who was reported in one of the official messages as hav- ing been killed, is very much alive. He is said to have proceeded as far south as Jaliseo.
 is causing some anxiety is the myste- rious disappearance of large number of the laborers employed on haciendas south of the capital. It is taken for granted that they have joined the rebels.

 ployes is suggested by Mir Nagel The Secretary points out that as Dr. Charles P. Neill, commissioner of labor, and Judge Knapp of the commerce court, who constitute a board of mediation under the Erdnan act, will in time have to retire. there is danger that with the retire. ment of one or both the advantage of the very admirable system which they have built up may be lost"
 Immigration port conditions especially at New York. where the quarters are de- clared inadequate. are still unsatisfac- tory, says the Secretary. in urging larger appropria tions for the service.
 One feature of the Secretarys report indicates that some American citizens who formed part of the great emigration to Canada during recent years are probably contemplating returning Many of them are applying, the Secretary says. for the bulletins issued by the division of infor- nation of his department, setting forth the labor needs and small investment op- portunities in the United States, especial ly in the agricultural districts
 S3S,172 Immigrant Aliens
 During the fiscal year 1912 there were admitted to the United States SSS 172 in,- migrant aliens, a decrease of 40,415 as compared with the previous year. On the other hand, 3SS.262 emigrant aliens de- parted, an increase of 37596 over 1911 Of the 1912 immigrants more than IA years of age, about 24,5 per cent were illiterate, the same percentage as 1911. Southern and eastern Europe still continues to SUD- ply the greatest proportion of immigrants to the United States. Nearly 70,000 aliens were naturalized during the fiscal year.
 The arrangement with Japan governing the admission of Japanese and Koreans to the United States is giving satisfac- tory results, the Secretary says. During the last fiscal year 535S Japanese were ad mitted to this country proper and 32S1 to Hawaii. The department admitted 537i Chinese during the same period.
 Secretary Nagel asks that Congress re- peal the provision of the recent fur seal law imposing closed season in Alaska for five years. Two of the nations which signed the fur seals treaty with the United States. he says, have expressed dissatisfaction, as the law is substan- tial repudiaton by this government of the position it has maintained for 25 years that the depletion of the herds was at tributable to pelagic sealing and in no mea sure to land killing.

Police Unable to Find Only Actual Witness to Shoot
 ing of w. Mumm

Paris. December 1.-The efforts Of the police to locate either Mrs Mary Barnes" or her servants, the only actual witnesses of the shooting Thursday night of Walter Mumm. well known sportsman, thus far have been fruit less and the affair remains more or less mystery. Mumm was shot while in the woman's home.
 Mir. Mumm in the interrogation today by Magistrate Boucard at the hospital strongly protested against that yer sion of the shooting which said that he struck Mrs. Barnes before she fired
 T was very. fond of Mrs. Barnes" said M. Mumm to the magistrate, but I think she was even fonder of me. My family, however, made me understand that the situation between Us could not continue. Mrs. Barnes was sep arated from hen husband, not divorced, and accordingly could not be my wife.
 Tn view of our possible separation I tried to prepare my friend Wednes- day night we took supper at restau- rant in the Rue Rovale. The evening passed gaily. Champagne flowed per- haps a little too freely and we re- turned tired ana ennerValeu 10 MfS. Barnes home in the Rue Belles Fer rifles, dawn already breaking.
 Then we began to dispute. I repeat ed to her that our love could not last forever. Mrs. Barnes, who, up to this time had not been much moved over the prospect of our parting, then had crying fit which was followed by an outburst of fury.
 "'Ah, it won't last forever? We will see about thatr she screamed and be- fore I could interfere she snatched tip little revolver and fired at me"
 NJ. Boucard here interrupted NJ Mumm.
 Didn't you yourself fire the first shot? It is said the woman is wounded and instead of having fled to London that she is in private hospital near Paris"
 No" replied Mumm. Mrs. Barnes cannot invoke the excuse of legitimate defense. I neither shot nor struck her. When she fired I disarmed her. Ger tainly l didn't do it very gently. l was brutal but that is all"

 developing effective policies of water conservation. but it is the federal gov ernment after all which is called upon to make the chief expenditures for the development of navigation and for the protection of the forest cover around the sources and along the watersheds of both navigable and non-navigable streams"
 The Secretary emphasizes the recorh- mendation made in his annual report last year for the need of a comprehen- sive land classification and of admin istration based thereon. The existing statutes, he says, attempt to recognize in very general and ineffective way the fundamental difference between the different classes of agricultural lands still remaining in the public domain.

The greatest cause for anxiety, however. is the financial question. It is no secret that the nation needs money badly and being assisted from the central treas ury.
 The 20,000,000 pesos loan authorized many weeks ago has not yet been fioated.
 If a special session of Congress is held it is not improbable that a few of the promised reforms will be enacted but the popular opinion is that money and soldiers will now be more effective than reforms.
