curity.

to earlier police reports which stated

general strike in the capital.

the scene.
The'confscated uniforms, 1t was re-
ported. were made in Zaragoza and

ters planned to disguise themselves IN
the uniforms to confuse bona fide po-
lice forces and produce a panic.
Movement Believed Crushed.
Police said today's raid had crushed
the movement and official government
quarters asserted the movement had
little foundation.
Authorities recalled a similar num-
ber of uniforms were discovered short
ly before the revolution in october,
1894.
A major in the Military Health De-
partment WAS arrested in another sec

tanning IL pistols. A search of the

VACATION MONEY.
A CLEVER young man in the con-
troller generals Office makes his
hobby pay for his vacation. He is a
stamp collector, and all his orders are
placed in duplicate. When vacation
time comes around he disposes of his
extra stamped envelopes which have
been in hand year or more, and thus
makes money enough to cover vaca-
tior expenses.
However, one has to know the game
to do this, and not overlook opportuni-
ties, and there have been plenty of
them lately-Dallas Fair opening.

burg dirigible and the commemoration
