position in Effort to Reform
Civil Service.
Washington, D. c., May rs
While it is considered extremely
doubtful that Congress will sus-
pend the postofiee order of Presi-
dent Taft which placed fourth
class postmasters under the wing
Ct the civil service, as proposed
by Senator Overman in a joint
resolution, it is believed that the
second section of that resolution
will find favor with the majority
party. The second section takes
from civil service protection any
government employee who is bond
ed to his superior officer. It
would seem that nearly all en-
ployes now under civil service
would be affected by this, but it
has been found that only a few
are really affected. Most bonded
employees are responsible to the
government itself and so are an
touched by the resolution.
What is considered a thorough
ly reasonable plea is made in the
cases Of deputy collectors of inter-
nal revenue. These men could
hardly be said to have qualifica-
tions not easily acquired by plenty
of others, but their, honesty and
integrity must be unquestioned
for them to be considered eligible
for their Jobs. Naturally, since
they are bonded to the collectors
their immediate %superiors r. re
sponsible for everything they may
Go hence the plea that the collec-
tors should be allowed to name
the men in whom they are forced
TO place the utmost confidence has
reason. NJ special talents are
reeded to fit a man for a job as
deputy collector, and it is argued
that a civil service examination is
no test Of honesty and integrity.
Some of the Democrats, how
ever, are outspoken in their advo-
cacy Of a measure that will revoke
the order Of r!Taft. They con-
slider it a purely party action in
tended as a cloak to the Republi-
cans then in office, and not a sin
cere desire to extend the benefits
Of civil service per Sc. Repre-
sentative Webb, ofNorth Carolina,
an influential member of the Judi
ciary committee, is one Of the
judiciary committee, is one Of the
Democrats heartily in favor OF
Senator Overman's resolution.
81 consider that Taft's post
office was actually a violation OF
the spirit Of civil SERVICE" he
said. "Why, he even went SO far
as to place under civil service pro.
lection the special employees of the
revenue service who r hired by
the day. These men are nothing
more than raiders employed fol-
special jobs only, and to put those
men under civil service protection
is nothing more than mummery.'

SUBMISSIVENESS

Comparison With Alien Land Holding Legislation of California and Other Statutes Reveals Their Striking Similarity
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArCHl

TOXIC, April IA demand that the Japanese government resort to arms was hyStericaliy cheered at a mass meeting here tonight as a protest against the alien land bill now before the California legislature. Twenty thousand were assembled and listened to addresses by various orators. The speakers also denounced the submis- sive attitude of the government
 Responsible newspapers of TOkio, commenting editOrially on the meeting, denounces the proceedings as undigni- fled and unworthy of the nation, des cribing them merely as an Outburst of the minimizing extreme element, incit- ed by political demagogues.
 The American Asiatic association of Japan today adopted a resolution de- claring that the proposed alien land legislation of California will seriously injure American interests here. The resolution asks the California legisla- ture not to pass any bill adversely af- fecting American Japanese relations.

Land Law not New.

WASHINGTON, April 17.-COmpari- son today of the proposed alien land holding legislation of California with similar statutes in force for years in the District of Columbia and several states revealed to the White House officials the increased difficulty of handling the pro-est entered b1 Japan.
 It was pointed out at the White House that no foreign nation ever ent- cred a protest against these existing laws. Incidentally word reached here that while the bills before the senate and house at Sacramento differed, eventually the bill agreed upon, would be along the lines of the alien land laws of New York and the District of Co., lumbia
 The federal government is not san guine of appeasing the popular opinion in Japan though it does hope to satisfy the Tokio government of it's helpless ness to effect the changes that would remove entirely the Japanese objec tions.

 The Suchard is a non rigid balloon, that is, it does not have a frame within the balloon proper for the purpose of making the machine practically one solid machine. It is of the ParSeval type and is driven by two engines each of no horse power and they weigh ap- proximately 1600 pounds.
 The balloon bag is coated with a spe- cial preparation that absorbs water from the atmosphere to counteract the effect of the suns rays. She will use sea water for ballast, descending to pump it in and discharging it when required. Under the gas bag is a gall lery and suspended below this will be a power boat which is intended as the main living quarters of the balloon The boat can be cut loose and used in case of accident. The dirigible will carry an ordinary compass and also a large supply of brilliant red aluminium globes.

0F HUERTA |S NOW
 ABOUT CERTAIN
Without Exception Papers of Mexico Say That the Flotation of Loan is Really the Only Hope of Salvation
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcHl

MEXICO, April 17-Undisguised pessimism is manifested in the capi tai of the future Huerta government. Neither in official or unofficial cir cles are the statements of General En- rique Obregon, commander of the Sonora insurgents and Venustiano CarranZa, ex-governor of ,Coahuia. as to the probable overthrow of Huerta, any longer derided.
 Without exception, the newspapers aver that the only hope of salvation lies in the Notation of a loan. Prac- tically all admit that the non-recog- milton of the present administration makes this doubtful.
 Banks continue to reflect the gov ernments financial difficulties and re- fuse to sell exchange except at ex- horbitant rates. while merchants are raising prices to balance the differ ence between Mexican and foreign currency. There is no fixed rate or exchange. Bankers are selling prac- tically as brokers and charging the favored small buyers as low as two hundred and thirty. while they are demanding of heavier purchasers as high as two fifty.
 That the rebels of the north are rapidly extending their lines, is in dicated by the isolation today of Monterey and Saltilo, capitals respect lively of NuevO Leon and Coahuila and by the cutting of the railroad lines between Monterey and Tampico on the main line of the National rail- road and between San Luis Potasi and Sal Sillo. Linares is reported to be occupied by the rebels.
