El Paso, Tex. August 7.--Mexicans fired
last night again on United States troops
guarding the frontier The fusillade this
time occurred almost opposite the Ell
Paso smelters or northwest Of the city,
three or four miles from where shots
were exchanged last week between Uni
ted States troops and Mexicans. The
shots were fired from the Mexican side
CT the river and appeared to be aimed at
American soldiers camping near the smell
ter. The Americans returned the fire.
The American soldiers believe the firing
vas done bv rebel patrolmen with malicl-
Gus intent. The affair was officially re-
ported to General e. z. Steever. COM
manding the department of Texas.
Mexico City, August lin spite of En-
lilo Zapatf1's declaration he would con-
slider no proposition looking to peace in
the country short of promising the resig-
nation of President Madero, the govern
ment has proceeded with preparations for
a conference as agreed upon yesterday.
El kiguero. an isolated village in More
los, the state he and his followers have
controlled for year or more, has been
named as the place where he and mis- staff
will meet a committee of three, repre-
senting the government. Thursday next.
The peace committee will be headed by
Valentine j. Delano, a deputy of More
los. These men have been instructed to
arrange Immediately II possible an armis-
tice and then attempt to induce Zapata
to agree to send his representatives before
a convention of the landowners of the
state. and there state his demands. That
the commission will consider the resigna-
tion of Madero at all is highly improb-
able, but II Is felt once the peace confer
ence Is inaugurated terms can be made
that do not include any such provision
since the principal complaint of the Zap
atistas has been that OF the ownership
of lands. 1t is assumed the government
is prepared 10 meet them part way in
some plan for the splitting of the es-
tates.

No Political Consideration

AS is well known, political consid-
erations do not appeal to me. The oath
of my office and the physical and moral
welfare of the thousands OF unfortu-
mates who come under my view appeal
with the profoundest voice to the most
elementary conditions of humanity |
have made many enemies in the orders
which | have issued. but / sleep content
in the sure knowledge that ! have
relieved human suffering and advanced
the cause of human interests, and that
is the animatlng principle of the of
flee that ! occupy In this instance
seem TO have run counter to the wishes
of those whom II was my sworn duty
to consider. The sheriff of Jefferson
county has long been my friend II was
no unpleasant duty to deprive him Of
the emoluments Of his office, | could
look only to the welfare OF those whom
the law put under my charge.
"Since finding that my solicitude for
them did not meet with their own ap-
proval and since the sheriff has adj
vised fflej that he could make arrange
which based my order, ] have listened
to the request Of the prisoners confined
in the jefferson county jail, TO whom
my orders applied. and have rescinded,
for the time being. the order of re-
moval heretofore made.
at is not to be understood that this
decision affects any right OF prisoners
or any supposed or real political in
fuence affecting the conduct of my Of
fee"

state Prison Inspector
Purpose of Office

In reference to his letter to Sheriff
McAdory resembling his order for the
removal of certain prisoners from the
Jefferson county Jail. DR.. Oates said:
THE chief purpose OF the office which
| occupy is to protect the health and
conserve the we'll being of prisoners.
IL is, or ought to be, well known that
Tor many years sentence to Jail or
penitentiary or long eonnne ement
meant the death OF the unfortunate
affected. IL is we'll known that the
Jenerson eouty jail has long been over
crowded. 1t became evident to me that
the health of the prisoners therein
confined would be conserved by the re-
moval of a number OF them to some
other place That this removal might
have political effect did not, and
ought not. to have occurred TO me. 7
thought enly Of the welfare of the
prisoners. They themselves, however
have brought to my attention the fact
that their removal would deprive them
of the association of those who cared
for them. ] am not prepared to say
that the physical benef1t OF their re-
movai would be offset by the comfort
and assistance of their own people In
view, therefore, of the fact that their
confinement in the Jefferson county jail
Is not absolutely inimical to their
health, and that their removal might
deprive them OF the comfort and per-
sonal association with their friends and
families, | have decided to resclnd the
order for their removal.

Spent Yesterday in Bir-
mingham Looking Over
the County Jail
NOT BEEN ACTING FOR
POLITICAL PURPOSES
States Petition of Prisoners Against
Removal Actuated Him More
Than Anything Else to
Withdraw Orders

Montgomery. August (special)-Dr.
William H. Oates, state prison Inspector,
has rescinded his order for the removal of
certain prisoners from the jefferson coun-
ty Jail to the county Jail of Etowah at
Gadsden.
This information was given out by DR.,
oateh late tonight The state prison IN
specthr spent the day in Birmingham and
accpYpanied Sheriff Walter X McAdory
ovsar1he Jefferson county Jail lie found
that conditions at present are not as bad
as they have been with reference to over
orowding. and while he gave no positive
decision to Sheriff McAdory he intimated
to that official. in view OF the improved
conditions that ii might not be necessary
to transfer a portion of the prisoners un-
der his charge to the Gadsden jail
Reason of Action
Or. Oates declared that he was actuated
In his decision to rescind the order prIn-
cipslly upon the grounds that the pris-
oners confined In the Jefferson county jail
had asked that he countermsnd his order
for their removal. He stated to repre-
sentative of The Age-Herald tonight that
he was at first inclined TO disregard the
petition of white prisoners confined In the
Jefferson county jail, declaring that he
considered their health of far more inn
portance than the fact that they might
see their families and loved ones while
remaining In the Birmingham prison, but
that after thorough inspection OF the
jail, he had decided that their interests
might well be conserved by allowing them
to remain in their present place of con-
fnement. Tonight DR.. Oates wrota a let
ter to Sheriff McAdory resembling his
order OF August 3, In which he ordered
the transfer of certain of the Jefferson
county convcts to the Etowah county
jail. The letter was brief. and was as
follows:
Hon. Walter X. McAdory, Sheriff JEFF
ferson County. Birmingham, Ala:
