Gen. Murguia, as Invader,
Fails to Excite Mexico
After Crossing Rio Grande the
Rebel Chief Seems to Have
Gone Into Hiding

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 3.-Althougb a
week has elapsed since General
Murguia and his staff are reported to
have crossed the Rio Grande into
Mexico, near Brownsville, and united
with an army of almost 900 men, moth
ing further is known in Mexico City
concerning the affair. Aside from a
brief War Office statement early in
the week saying it was believed
Murguia has succeeded in entering
Mexico, there has been nothing to in
dictate his whereabouts.
Travellers arriving at Monterey yes
terday from Villa Zaragoza, which has
been reported to be in the hands of
Murguia's followers, deny that the
town has fallen. They assert the peo-
pie in that region are not acquainted
with the movements of Murgua.
So far as can be ascertained
Murguia has not started an active
campaign which has brought him in
contact with the federal forces. Of
ticials here still affect to treat the
Murguia situation lightly.

Foulke Charges
Work Viol ates
Harding's Order
Says Postmaster Is Not
Applying Safeguard in
SSeeking'P official Indorse.
ments for Postoffice Jobs

William Dudley Foulke. acting pres
ident of the National Civil Service Re-
form League, in letter addressed to
Postmaster Work. charges him
with direct violation of President
Harding's order in seeking recommen-
dations of Congressman" for postmas-
tership appointments.
The letter, dated September Q, Is a
reply to arguments offered in letter
written by the Postmaster General to
George B. Christian, secretary to the
President, explaining operation of the
order of May 10, 1921, which permits
selection Of one of the three first per-
sons on an eligible list prepared by the
Civil Service Commission for appoint
ment to Presidential postmasterships.
Mr.. Foulke's letter reads, in part:
"You say the rule of three is as
firmly established as any service rule,
and if it were not followed in the cases
of postmasters would be making an
exception of them. You have over
looked one essential difference:
"The Civil Service law, in section
10, provides that no recommendation
which may be given by any Senator
or member of the House of Represen-
tatives, except as to character or resi-
dence of the applicant, shall be re-
ceived. This safeguard does not apply
to the selection of presidential post
masters under the executive order Of
May 20, 1921 and you are apparently
unwilling to apply it.
"The President, when this order was
issued, said these Offices should be
classified to make them the business
agencies of the government and that
the order was designed to bring about
an operation squaring with the re-
quirements of any probable future
legislation.
at is equally clear that you, in
seeking the recommendation of Con
gressmen, are pursuing a policy in di-
rect opposition to the Presidents ex-
pressed intention. If these places
! were actually classified by law, your
practice of seeking the recommends
tons would constitute a violation of
Federal Statutes and is not in accord
with the stated intention of the Presi-
dent

Hylan Man Assails
Labor Legislation
OF Miller Regime
Peter J. Brady Neglects to
Mention Measures Due
to Republicans That Won
Approval of the Workers

"a Feter j, Brady. supervisor of "The
City Record" and also chairman of
the education committee of the State
Fe--eration of Labor, yesterday an
nounced that he had compiled the
labor record of the Albany lawmakers
for the last two years, and that a COPY
of it would be in the hands of every
member of organized labor this week.
Mr. Brady in statement issued
yesterday for publication singled out
for attack only Republican members
of the Legislature. Republican legis-
iators who have seen the statement
criticized Mr.. Brady for making no
mention of the various labor measures
put through by the Miller admins
tration, which in some instances,
they pointed out, were given whole
hearted praise by organized labor, in
Guiding superiors of Mr.. Brady in the
union movement. Friends of Governor
Miller added that Mr.. Brady also had
neglected to say that the so-called
Kansas industrial court act bill. in
troduced at the last session, which
is emphasized in the Brady report, was
killed by order Of Governor Miller.
Mr.. Brady in his statement said:
"The report shows that the wage
Garner has received no quarter at the
hands of or in the votes of those now
in control of state legislation. Labor's
great duty TO itself and to public well
fare this fall will be to turn out Of
Office those who made the state legis-
lative records of 1921 and 1922. It is
to be a clean sweep and new brooms
will take hold with the new year.
"The result of the Republican party
policy Of discrimination in favor Of the
corporations and seekers after special
privileges and against the workers,
has been injurious in the extreme to
those who are not go favored financial
" that they have had the protection
CT reactionary Legislators.
"The tins is now at hand when the
workers of all classes can unite for
their own protection by electing their
friends, defeating their enemies. and
bringing about the retirement of the
party representatives who were in COM
bination against them in the Legis-
lature."

but Republican probably will succeed
him.
Frederick c. Hicks. of the 1st, the
Long Island district; Peter G. Ten
eyck, of the 2Sth, and James
w. Hustled, of the 18th, have de-
cided to retire. Teneyck is a Demo-
crat. There is an aggressive tilt under

Winchester, Republican nominee, and
Parker Corning, brother of the Demo.
cratic boss of the county, for the honor
OF succeeding Teneyek, who still hopes
that the Governorship or Senatorial
nomination will hit him.
Representative Charles 3. Ward. of

the maintenance Of which we have all

In his letter Mr.. Barnes also states
"that the time limitation Of two years
placed by the Senate upon the power
to adjust rates practically nuilifes any
benefits which might accrue from such
adjustments because Of the delays in
cident TO the right of appeal granted
under the provisions of the bill. I'm.
der the ordinary court procedure cases
could not be carried through the Court
Of Customs Appeal and the United

Of the flexible rate provision had run

not be made nugatory through limita-
tons when Congress always retains
the power to repeal the flexible provi-
sions at any time it desires TO DO So.
Free Port Idea Indorsed
At the same time Mr.. Barnes sets
forth the position OF the chamber IN
regard to free ports as provided for IN
the Senate tariff bill and that tha
membership Of the national chamber
has Endorsed recommendations for the
creation Of free ports, believing that
the establishment Of such ports will
aid materially in the development OF
the country's export trade, will remove
unnecessary obstacles and unnecessary
costs in the development Of foreign
commerce and by furnishing opportu-
mites for diversified consignment
cargoes should help directly to build
up the merchant marine.

 Mr. Rurner is taking into Atlin prominent business man of San Francisco, who Is interested in the company, and these gentlemen are planning to make some large and immediate openings in the develop mert of the property
 Work was begun a month or more ago at the mines with the view Of preparing for extensive develop ments, and Mr. Ru15uer states, that in his opinion, operations will not again cease for years. Ths prop erty seems to insure a steady and constant development, because 1t is nearer salt water than some of the other successful properties in the Interior thus assuring better freight rates, and the outlook is good for years of constant operation. The whole property appears to warrant that this IS the birth of another big mine.
