PARIS, November 4.--The Xaims

in a discussion of foreign politics in
parliament today and is expected to
resign, says a Havas dispatch from
Athens.
A discussion of proposed military
laws, the correspondent says, raised
war, General Yanakititas. and the ma
jority party of former Premier Veni-
Zelos. On this issue Premier Zaimis
decided to ask a vote of confidence
The discussion then turned to the
foreign policy of the government. M

for his party longer to sustain the
government. whose policy he consid

country
All the party leaders engaged in the
discussion. The final vote was lat
against the government to ia.
Premier Zaimis has been in office
less than a month. having been asked
by King Constantine to form a cabinet
after the resignation of Premier Veni-
ZelOs on October 6. The retirement
of the Venizelos ministry grew out of
its policy in favor of the war with

M. VeniZelos maintained, Greece was
bound by her treaty obligations. The
king took the ground that in the cir

to take up arms.
M. Venizelos resigned the premier

with the king on a similar question of
foreign policy, but won a pronounced
victory in the general elections of
June and returned to office in August.
His majority in parliament remained
intact after his retirement last month

COOPERATION Of
PUBLIC ASKED
POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT IN
ViTES PEOPLE TO HELP
IMPROVE SERVICE

The post office department is en-
deavoring to secure the cooperation
of all commercial organizations and
people generally throughout the coun-
try in an effort to improve the mail
and general service, and with this
view letter has been addressed to
all of the pOstmasterS asking that
their patrons be invited to join in
and assist the government in not only
improving the service, but at the same
time, reduce the cost. The letter
was received by Postmaster Elliott
yesterday and is as follows:
Your especial attention is direct
ed to the good that may be accom-
plished by seeking the cooperation
of the chamber of commerce, board
of trade, association of merchants or
citizens, or other civic organizations
in your city, and also the newspapers
and other mediums of publicity, in
efforts to improve the local mail SER
vice, and at the same time to reduce
it's cost.
"Such organizations, if properly ap-
preached, will aid you in inducing
large patrons to face their mail; to
separate the pieces by local and out
going classes, and the letters by long
and short sizes; by posting their mail
ings as early in the day and as fire.
quently as possible so as to avoid
CONGESTION in the evening and in
sure prompt despatch; to deposit
their mail, if practicable. at the main
office instead of at the stations or in
street letter boxes; to call at the post
office in the morning for heavy IN
coming mails; to supply sufficient ad-
dress on their stationery, in return
cards and in the ordinary direction
on outgoing mail; and to provide mail
receptacles.
'1f the eXigencies that beset the
post office during the holiday season
are explained, such organizations may
be induced to include in their "Shop
Early propaganda the additional sug-
gestiOn to Mail Early"
"On your part you should invite
suggestions, and treat all such COM
nunications with the utmost courtesy
and consideration, meeting wherever
possible the desire of the organization
or patron, or explaining carefully why
it is not feasible to accept the sug-
gestiOn.'

CORONER'S JURY
FAILS ITO HOLD
THEM FOR CRIME
No Evidence to Show That
They We're in Any Way
Connected With it
A VERDICT IS MADE UP
That Aged JeweIer Came TO His
Death BY Blow Delivered by
Some Unknown Person-Po-
lice Still Busy on Case.

George Skipper, Joh! Davenport,
Ben Franklin and T. Fl. McLain, the
four white men arrested -[onday night
in connection with the murder of
Richard Oberlauter. the aged jew
eler and matchmaker, we. e released
yesterday afternoon follow ng d seS-
sion of the coroner's jury which has
been investigating the case against
these four men.
The jury, after their session yester-
day afternoon, brought in q verdict
that Oberlauter came to his death
by blow delivered with an axe by
some unknown party. AS soon as the
officers were told that such a YER
dict had been reached, the four men
were given their freedom.
When these four men were arrest
ed by the officers Monday night, for
a time it was believed that at least
some Of them were connected with
the crime, but the following day, when
facts become to show up, those who
had looked into the case quickly
reached the conclusion that the of
ficers had arrested the wrong men,
and it was generally predicted that
they would not even be held for an
investigation by the grand jury.
Monday night it was stated that
there was a large amount of circum-
stantial evidence which would con-
meet the four men with the crime.
In the first place, it was pointed out
that the coat of one of the men had
blood-stains on it. This statement
was correct, but it was soon discov-
cred that. the bood-stains came from
a fight in which the man was engaged
several nights ago. 1t was further
stated that an envelope was found
in his pocket bearing the address of
R. Oberlauter on it. One of the police
officers was summoned before the
coroner's jury yesterday and he testi-
fled that he himself had picked up
this envelope in Oberlauter's shop on
Monday morning, carried it to the po-
lice station and placed it on the
shelf. Tuesday it was missing, and,
he stated, he was sure that it was
the same envelope said to have been
found in the mans pocket.
The axe clue, also, was discredited
and, as matter of fact, the coroner's
jury could not secure one piece of
tangible evidence upon which to hold
any one of the four men arrested.
Coroner Jennings made every effort
to secure witnesses who would throw
some light on the murder, but he has
not been successful in the effort.
The police, however, are still busy
at work on the case and during the
week. half dozen different clues
have been worked out, but not one
of them proved of any value to the
officers. That the murder was com
mitted by two men, who were not on
ly familiar with the Oberlauter shop,
but who were experts at such foul
work, is the belief of ALL and the
guilty parties will vet be brought to
justice is the wish of the people of
the city generally.

GUERILLA WAR IS
NOW THE PLAN
Of VILLA
SOME OF HIS SOLDIERS, CAP
TURED BY CARRANZA, SAY
HE WILL DIVIDE ARMY IN
TO SMALL BANDS.

DOUGLAS, Ariz., Nov 4.-Although
thwarted in his attempt to take Aqua
.Prieta, the Mexican border town oppo-
site here, General Villa was said to
have CarranZa officials guessing what
his next move would be. Whether his
plans were concealed from choice by
chance of circumstances remained a
mystery.
Villa soldiers surrendering to Gales
scouts declared that since his de-
feat at Aqua Prieta, their former
commander was planning on distri-
buting his forces in small bands to
harass Carranza generals and adopt
ing guerilla warfare.
SO urgent was the need for food
supplies that any move undertaken
by Villa, it was said, would be de-
signed with that end in view. Wheth-
er be contemplated a sudden dash
southward, striking at Guaymas and
Mazatlan, or intended to concentrate
forces at Naco, Sonora, a small border
town west of here, where supplies
might be had, military men were at
a loss to determine Five hundred
of his men were said to have already
reached Naco, and 1000 troops, it
was reported, were seen struggling
along the dusty roads between these
two points.
General Calls was said to have cut
off reinforcements to join Villa. Gen
eral UrbaIe, a Yaqui chieftain, was
believed to have escaped the net with
1900 men, having slipped south and
headed westward to join Villa, either
at Naco or os the way to Guaymas
and MaZatlan
