 Against Woodrow Wilson.

Washington, March Vigorous denials of the statement of the Will son campaign managers yesterday that rival democratic candidates for the presidency were in a combina- ton against the New Jersey goyer- nor were made today at the various democratic political headquarters in Washington
 The Underwood managers, as an answer to the charge that Underwood represented the so-called combination against Wilson in the approaching Florida primary, gave out portion of previous statement by Senator Bankhead in which he made a general denial of the charges of trades and combinations"
 .u.We are interested alone in Mir Underwood, and in his success in SC curing the nomination" said Senator Bankhead.
 The Clark headquarters made no statement on the latest charge of a combination, further than to cite Speaker Clark's previous charge that it was malicious lie"

 Charge Against Party.

Washington, March --Represent- ative Sisson of Mississippi. democrat. startled his political colleagues in the house today by charging that the democratic party was not sincere in it's protestations of economy.

 q am tired of this prating about economy by line democratic members of the house." he said, "and the ab- sence of its practice. We preached economy when the republicans were in power and We fail to practice it when we have the opportunity. am criticising no individual on this side of the chamber, but the democratic party will have to face the brunt of that criticism"

REAL BATTLE
 AT JIMINEz
GENERAL AUBERT'S MILITARY : TACTICS PREVENTS ANNIHlLA-
 TON OF FEDERAL ARMY.
Orozeo With Eight Thousand Welt Armed Men Continues the Fight
 ing-Rumor That Aubrey
 Was Killed by a Bomb.

Jiminez, Mexico. March 2S-Gen- eral Trucy Aubert is succeeding. by his retreat. in keeping the main body of General Orozco's army occupied in chasing him through the hills west of Jiminez, while the main body Of the federals under General Huerta is concentrating at Torreon and render ing it impregnable to assault
 Aubert, coming with his l,250 men from Torreon. by way of MapimI, through tortuous mountain defiies and by threatening Jiminez made it i'm possible for Orozco to follow up his victory at Corralitos by pursuing the routed federaIs as they fled toward Torreon.
 Had his own base at Jiminez not been endangered by Aubert, Orozco easily could have annihilated the flee ing remnants of the joint commands of Salas and Blanquet.
 Aubert, knowing that he was out numbered three or four to one. dar- ingly pushed his way on Monday to the Dolores ranch, about nine miles west of Jiminez and was driven back only after a hard five hours artillery fight Tuesday night in which. how ever, there were comparatively few casualties.
 The vanguard of the Salazar and | Fernandez columns pursuit of Aubert exchanged long range shots at tine iat- | ters rear guard this afternoon with out apparent result.
 There is a rumor here that General Tellez is cooperating with Aubert, re- inforcing him when necessary and protecting his line of retreat whhh will enable him to persist in hang ing on to the edges of the liberal l base in this city. General Orozco has approximately $500 men at Jiminez, about 2.500 holding the country be- tween here and Escalon and about g. 900 men at Santa Rosalia and Chi huahua.
 Orozco is well supplied with artil- lery, having six machine guns. two modern field pieces. captured from the federals at Corralitos, one mor- tar and several guns turned out at the Chihuahua shops.

RETURNS ARE
 INCOMPLETE
NOTHING TO CHANGE THE EsTl. MATED RESULTS, EXCEPT
 IN sHERIFF's RACE.
Williams Probable Winner, Housley fer Collector, and Representa- tives Races Are Very Close.
 Reports Are Slow.

K. L. Williams is most probably the nominee for sheriff, k. T. Housley has been nominated for collector. and tho race for representatives is stiii very much in doubt, which in substance is llhe latest report from the district and county election.
 From Montgomery county if is re. ported that Witt has a majority for prosecuting attorney of 800 votes, and that this was made up with several large Witt precincts yet to be heard from.
 The latest reports from the city wards showed that Witt carried the city by a splendid majority, and that he received much attention in the country precincts, showing conclusive " that the people recognized his can. didacy even where he was not so well known, almost with the same en- thislasm as in his home county.
 It was difficult to get satisfactory returns from Montgomery county yes terday, probably because the enthusi- asts at that end of the line did not appreciate the value of figures. From Womble, and from Mt. Ida, and from several points. friends of the vari- ous candidates here learned that Witt had about 500 majority" on the re. turns, and some of the Witt people heard he had about 800 votes out of l,l00, but as for giving the definite returns by precincts. they did not aa go.
 rhn .ai..=.Az.,. s..T,y,,.. to,, ,,,.s had In the midday several communica- tions were made over the line, but in she later afternoon or night it was impossible to get communication, and there was a report Of storm along the west section of the county, which probably explained that
 Phillips township, one usually among the first to report, was not heard from definitely. Baxter town ship sent it's box in, but there was no memorandum of the results, and, of course, the box can not be opened until the committee meets, so 1t will be some time before Baxter results are made known.
 Secretary Hogaboom stated yester- day afternoon that the executive com mittee would not canvass the returns, but would wait until Saturday, april 6, and have the complete committee in session, when after the canvass was made. the new committee would be organized In this event, however, there will probably be several new members who are not present. as they are not known. and can not be duly and properly notified.
 The following totals are from the complete returns of the Firat, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth wards, Hot Springs township, and the follow ing country precincts: Antioch, naiei Marble, Mill.

IS
 HANDICAPPED
SPECIAL COMMITTEE AFTER IN. VESTlGATloN ExoNERATEs
 HIM FROM CORRUPTION.
Committee Also Vndicates Edward Hines, the Man Who Said He "Put Lorimer Over" in the Fa-
 nous Election.

Washington, March 2S.-Senator Lorimer of Illinois today won vindi- cation at the hands of the special committee of eight senators who have finished second investigation of his election by the Illinois legislature in 1909
 Twice challenged ana once acquit- ted. the committee, by votes of to 3 on all vital points, exonerated him of knowledge of legislative corrup- ton.
 Edward Hines, the millionaire lum- herman, referred to in the investiga- tion as tthe man who put Lorimer over," also was vindicated by the committee. It had been charged Hines raised corruption fund of $l00,000 to elect lorimer to the sen ate. The majority repudiated that and passed a resolution that the evi- dence had shown he did not raise or contribute any sum improperly.
 The majority held that no new evi- dence had been adduced to justify a reversal of the senate's previous ac- tion in Senator Lorimer's favor.
 The case will be squareiy before the senate probably next week, when a protracted debate will begin Neith- CT side has made a thorough canvass of the situation. Republican leaders point out there will be about 27 new senators to vote on the case in ad- dition to those who have already vot- ed on substantially the same charges.
 The basis of the committees action was the plea raised by LOrimers coun- sel that the previous action of the senate bars reconsideration
 The majority report on the main proposition will be signed by Sena tors Dillingham;, Gamble, Fletcher Johnston and Jones, and the minority by Senators Kenyon. Kern and Lea Senator Jones was against Senator Lorimer on the first investigation.
 The contention of the minority will be that the senate passed on the ques ton of the former adjudication when 1t ordered the present investigation, and that if res adjudicata were to prevail 1t should have been before second exhaustive investigation at cost of $50,000 was begun
 They contend that the new investi gation was ordered largely because the former committee had not made full investigation and the country had demanded all the facts.
 Their viewpoint is that the new in vestigation has developed muth that is pertinent to Lorimer's election which the old committee failed to dis civer. They claim that the res ad- 1 judicata plea is lawyers subterfuge | to befog the real issue.
 The committee was in session three hours and many resolutions were of fered. Those presented by the three members against Lorimer, embodyins what probably will be in a minority report, promptly were voted down ! , to 8.
 The resolution yindicating Edward l Hines declared it was not proved Ed ward Hines received S100,000 or any | other sum, or that he expended any sum or contributed any sum to aid in, or secure, the election of Lori mer to the senate, and that he did not raise. contribute to, or expend any money improperly in the election oi Senator Lorimer. Kenyon, Kern ant Lea did not vote on this.

GOVERNMENT IS PREPARING
FOR THE PARCELS POST

Washington Post: A few days be-
sress it placed upon the statute book
the parcels post law, an entirely new
After years of effort on the part of
the postoffice department Uncle Sam
has decided to give the new system
of carrying parcels by mail a complete
tryout, and, beginning January 1, 1913,
it will be in operation throughout the
country. Because of it's vital bearing
upon the welfare of the nation, the
new law had hard and stormy pass
age, but the many advantages offered
became so apparent toward the end
that it was passed in the closing ses-
sion of congress by practically unan-
imous vote.
The establishment of the parcels post
in America marks a. new era in the
history Of the nation. Men who have
studied the system in foreign coun-
tries say it will tend to reduce the
cost of living. They explain it will
bring the producer and the consumer
in closer touch, and in many cases do
away with the middleman. This in it
self is a big factor with which to
reckon. Under the old law no package
weighing more than four pounds could
be sent through the mails. Under the
new law packages weighing as much
as IL pounds may be sent by mail
Imperial Valley press., 1912-12-02
New Scales and New Maps

There are about $4,000 postoffices in
the United States. Each one of these
must be equipped with a specially pre-
pared map made up SO as to show
each individual postoffice in the United
States as a center. with zones radiat
ing therefrom. This zone system will
be explained later on. In addition each
new postoffce must be furnished with
a new parcels post guide giving the
name of every postoffice in the United
States and its territories, regulations
necessary to tell the public just what
may be sent by parcels post.
All the old scales were built to weigh
only four pounds. Because of the
change in the limit of weight new
scales will have to be purchased that
will register a weight of II pounds
or more. Then comes individual in
struction of every postmaster through
out the country. This will be followed
of packages within towns and cities not
having rural carrier service, the ap
pointment Of thousands Of drivers for
the new wagons, designing and print
ing of distinctive parcels post stamps,
and many other things of a like char
acter. All Of this must be accomplished
and the system in full operation with
in the next few weeks From this
may be gathered some idea of the mag
nitude of the task undertaken by Uncle
Sam to provide his people with ga
up-to date system of parcels post de-
livery.
