EL PASO HERALD HUB SHIED TO RUN FOR MAYOR The Powers in the Ring Or ganisation Want County Judge to Succeed Kelly. CLAYTON SAID TO BE ON SIDETRACK County judge A. S. J. Eylar is the chosen one to make the race for mayor next spring, if the hop smoke from the city hall is good. Judge Eylar has declined the honor a number of times. giving as his excuse the difference In salary betw een his present position and the mayor's job, with the In creased amount of extras and tips to ihe faithful. Alderman Walter S. Clayton was originally groomed for the place, but it is said the ruling faction of "the ring" has picked Eylar. The antis are already lining up for the place and the Wilson men, the andful of original Wilson men and not the eleventh hour followers of the Princetonian. are taking the lead in the preliminaries . before the race for maj or starts. The organization which fought the "ring" to a stand still last summer in the primary elec tion, will be on the job again with a few revisions and abridgements, cue to certain flopping which has been oo-ie since t".ie "election from the anti to the 'TinT' camp by the less faith iu' Federal politics are losing interest. It is generally conceded that Zach Cobb can hae the collectorshlp of ritoms if he cares to ask for it and can have it anyway if bis friends at ' curt and he has some big ones there learn that he would care for the job. The collectorship appeals to Zach from many angles because he f'ould remain at home and attend to Ims interests in the valley ai.d in El Paso and stay close to the political headquarters in these parts. How ever, if a better appointment than the position of collector is offered Cobb, he will be in position to resign as col lector and accept the prreater respon sibility, as Zach and Wilson would say. Just what this increased responsibility would be is not known although it has been reported that Cobb might be appointed ambassador to Mexico or made an assistant attorney general at w ashington. In the meantime he aad his friends i c lining up to beat Kelly and the 'ring" in the spring and as this is considered a man's sized job, there will ' e no words wasted about tile national affairs until that is disposed of by the antis.

MISUSE Of MAILS IS CHARGED Arrests for Illegal Medical Practice and Sale of Un lawful Drugs. PACIFIC COAST IS A' HOTBED Washington, D. C, Nov. 26. Postof fice inspectors and United States mar shals in 72 leading cities of the country began today simultaneous raids for the arrests of the 173 persons charged with criminal medical practice or the sale of drugs and instruments used for crim inal purposes. Two arrests were- scheduled each In Houston and San Antonio, Tex. All of the arrests are made lor al- l leged violation of section 21, of the penal code ot tne united states, wnicn bars from the mails any vile 'or ob scene matter, whether sealed or un sealed; any advertisement, letter or cir cular suggesting criminal -practices; or any packet containing any substance, drug or thing intended to be used for immoral or unlawful purposes. Chief inspector Kobert Sharp, of the postoffice department, and many of his force of 390 inspectors have .been work ing upon the cases for mny months. It is said by the postoffice inspectors that a hotbed of this sort of criminality exists in the Pacific coast states. In San -Francisco -a fictitious name was used by several well known phy sicians, who employed a. woman to do the necessary advertising and clerical work. Cases were solicited by corre spondence and by printed circulars sent through the mails. Scores of complaints have been received by the department from respectable women, complaining of the receipt of this class of matter. Mostly "Pill Doctors." Approximately 20 percent of those arrested today are socalled "pill doc tors" men who advertise their prac tice by correspondence or otherwise and send to their women patients, eith er by mail or express, various com oonnds in the form of Dills or powders. Careful analysis of the compounds by j the government authorities is said to have disclosed that some of them are I wholly inocuous, while others are dan- j gerous poisons. Under another section ex tne penal coae, xne senains ot poi sons through the mails is expressly forbidden. One of the men accused Is said to have been the secretary of the board of health in the city of his residence. He responded on letterheads of the city board of health, it was said, answer ing a decoy letter sent to him by the inspectors. Interviews of the inspectors with many of these practitioners indicated clearly that they knew they were vio lating the law and were treidinij upon dangerous ground. A Clever Insficetec. In Chicago, an inspector called upon a physician after having received from him a response by mall. Tne doctor was cautious and the inspector was asked to show the letter he had re ceived. It was in the physician's own handwriting. The doctor snatfched it, from the inspector's hand and tore it up. He threw it into the waste bas ket, and subsequently the inspector re turned to the office in the temporary absence of the doctor, secured the strips from the basket ana pasted them to gether. The letter constitutes an im portant link in the chain of evidence on which the doctor was indicted. A Vigorous Campaign. It is the expressed determination of the postal authorities to put an end to the promotion by mail of criminal practices and of the traffic in drugs and instruments upon which a ban is placed by the law. Postmaster general Hitchcock said today that every case agaipst an alleged violator of the law would be pressed vigorously. Many Coast Arrests. San Francisco. Cal., Nov. 20. Numer ous arrests in connection with the cam paign of the postal authorities against medical practioners charged -with mis use, of the mails had been reported from. Pacific coast cities by- noon today. Contrary to their previously announced intention, the San Francisco postal in spectors began their -work before that hour and nine doctors, druggists and others were taken into custody. None of those thus far arrested is of particular prominence. Arrests In St. LohIs. St Louis, Mo., Nov. 20. Mrs. Hulda Koch, proprietor of a maternity home, was arrested in St. Louis today. It was charged that the mails were mis used. A warrant was issued against Gustave F. Jacobs, manager of a drug company but deputy marshals did not find him. Another indictment was I returned against a woman who died before the warrant couia oe servea. DYING PRISONER SURRENDERS WHEN ESCAPE IS HOPELESS. San Francisco, Calif.. Nov. 26.

Iron Workers' union was behind the" dynamiting jobs' in the east and they wdtild have to b ecarefuL5' While J. J. McNamara was in jail in Los Angeles and before he pleaded guilty an ' effort was made by iron workers in Indianapolis to buy certain papers, testified Mrs. Mary E. Carroll. Mrs. Carroll said Fred Sherman, an Iron workers' business agent, offered her 1106 to procure & receipt in the posses- j sion or Dugan. JLragan naa s&ia ine receipt was for $25 paid for destroying a non-union job. Mrs. Carroll said on the promise of getting $166 for the paper, she went t Dugan's home and attempted to indues Mrs. Dugan to give it up, but Mrs. Du gan refused. Talked of DynaraitlHg Cathedral.

ELS HOLD Rural Guards Aboard Repel Them Revolution Grow ing in Durango. ALSO GETTING WORSE IN SOUTH Mexico City. Mex., Nov. 26. A fight yesterday between rurales and rebels for the control of a railroad train cost the lives of a lieutenant and three rural guards and two civilian passengers in the vicinity of Penjamo, state of Guanajuato. The train, traveling along the Guad alajara branch of tbe Mexican Central railroad, ran into a bridge from which tbe rails had been removed and the engine and two cars fell through. A large force of rebels then ran confidently down the hillside toward the wreck, not knowing of the pres ence of 24 rural guards in one of the cars, on the way to the capital from Manzanillo. The rural guards took upjPoaiOons and held the rebels off. The fight around the wrecked train lasted about an hour, when the rebels retreated to the hills. Besides the four soldiers and two passengers killed, several others were slightly injured. It is not known how many casualties were sustained by the rebels. The presence of the rural guards, no doubt prevented the robbery of the train and possibly the slaughter of the passengers. Eight small encounters in various parts of the republic were reported today and in each case the government troops claimed the victory. The rebels are showing increased ac tivity in northern Durango, while the Zapatista movement in the south con tinues unchanged.

Miller, who is CoL OroJtcos attorney and who is now at Waco representing the rebel leader. At the session of the Waco cowrt Wednesday, morning at which the plea was made, district attorney Charles A. Boynton stated, according to Mr. Gold stein, that in case CoL Orosce was re leased on the habeas corpus proceeding, he would be rearrested oa the state extradition warrant on the charge TOfcbery in the etate of Chihuahua. MAYBE IT WAS ANOTHER FORTILLO 'WHO WAS KILLED. 1-f kH ,kAl ImjIo. ThrfnnA Pnr- 1 tnio. was in El Paso Sunday, as is re ported reliably, it would have been next to impossible for him to have -t aa.th Monday at Colonia Chui- chupa, Chih., where it is definitely reported that John Brooks killed a rebel named Portillo and was killed himself. However, the official report of the shooting received by Gen. Trucy Aubert at Juarez from the federal commander in the district, stated that it was Enrique PortiUo who was killed and that two of his men were wounded before Brooks died of wounds received in the fight The federal captain reported that he had seen both the bodies of Brooks and Portillo. Yet, there are many Americans and Mexicans here who declare that they have seen Portillo in El Paso during the last few days. It Is believed probable by these that another rebel named Portillo, and not the former mayor of Casas Grandes, was slain by the fighting American. GEN TERRAZAS ,TO SPEND THE "WINTER IN THIS CITY Gen.
