ELIMINATE CIVIL SERVICE
Assistant Postmasters, Clerks and
 Others May Become Appointive
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcHl


 WASHINGTON, August "A pro- vision which would sweep from civil service systems all assistant post masters, clerks and other employees of tEe postoffices throughout the coun try and make them personal ap- pontees of the local postmaster, was put into the Moon railway pay bill on preliminary vote in the house to- day. A final vote will be taken to . morrow when opponents of the pro- vision say it will be decisively de- fedted on @ roll call.
 The house had just adopted an amendment by Representative Moon providing that present assistant postmasters must take a competitive examination within ninet ydays after the passage of the law in order to qualify fer their places, when Repre- sentative Cullop offered an amend ment striking out this provision and providing:
 "The postmaster at all such offices shall have the power to select his assistant postmasters and all clerks and employees in his said office, ire spective Of any civil service service laws to the contrary and all laws, regulations and orders in conflict with this act hereby repealed and nullified; provided, that such ap- Dointments shall be for a period of four years"

 He said the plan was to get the ''companeros" together at Tempe, cap ture the militia rifles, and make a de- scent on Phoenix, taking first the stores with provisions in them, then the banks and then the moneyed stores other than the ''tiendas abbarr- otes." In making the descent they were to use rifles and grenades con- posed of home made dynamite bombs. and they proposed to kill all and sun- dry who came in their way. As far as he knew they had no further plans af- ter the capture of Phoenix, expecting
 "mucho otros" to join the red flag"
 When the loot should have been Ob-
 tained a division was to be made. The
 date for this was not definitely set.
 It is evident that agitators have been working upon the ignorance of the Mexicans in this country for some
 time, telling them that all that was necessary to establish a millennium and
 to obtain an equal division of wealth was to start a general ructiOn of ra- pine and plunder headed by these men whose grievances were either real or l imaginary. At some of the meetings held as many as a hundred men were present. At these delegates would
 often appear from the other 'juntas," giving the message of aid and good cheer. Miguel Ortiz was a frequent visitor to them, and emissaries from
 Los Angeles were often present. Up to the present time three state ments have been obtained by the off
 cers, each sustaining the other, and these, with the evidence of Officer Lopez; the sheriff and his men, and Constable Murphy. to say nothing of the letter now in the hands of Assist ant District Attorney Jones make out
 a very strong case against the conspir- atOrs. It is not known when the ex- amining trial of the men will be held, but it is thought not until more of them are in "quod'.

Terms Are UnacceptabIe

FL PASO, Aug. 7.-The proposals of Carbajals peace delegates who recent ly visited Carranza at Saltillo have been made known on the best author ity. The constitutionalists considered the terms unacceptable
 Carbajal proposed, it is declared, that all officers of the federal army be re- instated or allowed to retain full rank This, the constitutionalists declare would be to court the same disaster which befell Madero
 Carbajal also asked, according to the best information, that all acts of Huerta be validated by the constitu- tionalist government. By agreeing to this, the revolutionists considered that they would make legal certain trans actions of Huerta's pertaining to the national treasury, and the step was de- clared impossible.
 A sudden breaking of negotiations was the result of Carranza's order that the conStitutionalist troops proceed at once to Mexico City, and take it by However this order so far as has been learned, does not include the division of the north commanded by Villa. It is reported unofficially that General Jesus Carranza's troops entered Mex ico City today, led by Generals Obre- gon and Gonzales, commanders of the western and northeastern divisions.

triple alliance, and therefore an ally of Germany, under certain conditions has been discussed in every phase, and the general concensus of opinion seems to be that the Italian people would never permit an act of hostility against France or Great Britain. Because Italy is neutral all manifestations for or against belligerents are being rigor- ously repressed. Yet everywhere spon- taneous outbursts of enthusiasm for France have occurred. In Rome there have been frequent cries of Long live France" Long live our Latin broth ers,' and the Marseillaise is being sung in the streets. The French embassy here and French consulates in other cities of Italy are daily receiving of- fers from men who wish to join the French forces.

 General Enrique Rivero. General Joaquin Jinminez Castro, and General Angel Garcia Condo are in command respectively of the infantry, cavalry and artillery brigades.

In addition are 5000 stands of new Japanese rifles and 5000 Spanish rifles in the armory at Ciudadel, the western suburb of the city, and also the arms brought to Mexico recently by the steamer Ypiranga.

 The Conspiracy
 Elaborate plans were laid in connec- tion with the organization of the con- spiracy and in the course of them a line of dispatch carriers was estab- lished from Phoenix all the way to Bisbee Juntas in every little village of importance between here and that city looked after passing the word along. In addition to the large number of men who were expected to rally in this city as soon as the standard of the red flaggers" was raised, almost the entire Yaqui village of Guadalupe was promised for assistance and one of the ringleaders went so far as to promise five hundred Sacaton Indians to the cause
 Miguel Ortiz, or Mike Ortiz, was responsible for this portion of the con- spiracy. He it was that not only promised the assistance of the Yaquis, but also the help of the Sacaton In- lians, and he has been assiduouSly at work to deliver the goods ever since. At present he is still at large, although the loyal Indian police at the reserva- ton are on the lookout for him and other officers are expected to pick him up. Ortiz transferred the information of the alleged disaffected Indians to the local junta who thereupon wrote the following letters to them, which are in themselves self explanatory. Tempe, Guadaloupe, August 1, 1914. MT. Juan Moroyoque.

1t Is the Duty of Atlanta to
Give Its Citizens Protection
From Fire.
From Fire.

Four times this winter to nothing OF the past the lack OF
fire protection for the north end of Atlanta has been orcoy
brought the public attention the destruction OF or damage
to the handsome homes of S. Floyd Charles Black
D. Ellis and w. F. Wnecof The burning of these homes
alone represents loss of probably 100000
the years the Brookwood section taken into AT
anas corporate limits and the Ansy Park section was deve
oped the fire loss that territory has doubt far exceeded
S5O0O00
But taking this winters big alone with the 100000 of
property wiped out
per interest this would net S60O0 prac
tcay enough maintain fire station of two machines
for year. which doubt the would gladly have paid
rather than their homes go up in smoke,
However is not incumbent any two three four
property support fire station order protect their
homes from destruction That duty of the city and for which
all property owners pay part of their city taxes
Other sections of Atlanta provided with fire protection
Why is it that this section where the finest homes Atlanta
built and where taxes paid propoonaey larger than
other residence districts be denied equal protection?
In all the territory north of the downtown business district
there only fire station at North between the
Peachtrees.
From North avenue to Broowood bridge two and one half
miles To the north junction of the Peachrees miles To
Ansley Park it and onehaf miles To Tenth it is
about mile approximately and half miles from
the North station to the downtown North Pryor
street Auburn avenue
station to and half miles north of North
would divide that territory about the proportion
from the Pryor street the North station
y of Peachree and Fourteenth would be logical oca
ton.
Peachtree asphalt street raverses the west side of Ans
ley Park and penetraes north and to the
South ntersects all the streets of that section
street with well improved roadway leads the steel
mill and industrial district along the Southern railway To the
it leads Piedmont avenue furnishes an excellent
outlet to the east side of Ansy Park and the hcky up
residence section south of Piedmont Park
is about time for City Council to seriously consider pro
vdng fire protection this unprotected Atlanta
particularly view of the heavy fire losses
ered recently largely the lack of such protection
