Rumors as to the possibility of a

"When Gen. Escobar learned that
Gens. Urbalejo and Porcayo were on
their way from Casas Grandes to
Juarez, without knowledge of the
revolution in Juarez, he sent a party
of officers on a special train to meet
the two and their escort. The meet
ing took -place 41 miles south of
Juarez. The visitors were riding on
sl Kasonne car.
The Jnarez officials met them cor-
dially and asked them to ride in the
train to Juarez. Suspecting nothing
(jroaiejo and porcayo accepted the
invitation. When they were sepa
rated from their troops they were
questioned by the Juarez officers,
who Quickly learned that the pair had
no intention of revolting. They were
then covered by the drawn revolvers
or tne juarez oxxicers ana taicen to
the military headquarters as pris
oners. At Juarez the situation In northern
Chihuahua was explained to the two
officers, who still remained obdurate.
Then they were given to understand
that their garrison could not hope to
cope with the large number of lib
eral 1st troops in the district; they
finally agreed to Join the revolution

minor committees. It may prove to
be first step toward a reorganisation

This proposal of change has met
with the approval of Republicans nd
Democrats and a subcommittee of the
senate committee on rules has Just
been authorised to submit a com
prehensive plan to the fall committee
on rules and prospects are that the
scheme Is to go through this session.
Why Democrat Failed.
IVmocrats told their Republican
colleagues at a meeting that they
planned the same method of reor
ganisation when they came Into
power eight years ago. but that sll
sorts of obstacles came up to prevent
action. Senator Medlll McCormick. of
Illinois, is the father of the MIL
Incidentally, he has pushed the
budget bill through the senate. His
hobby Is efficiency In government and
a number of senators from time to
time have given their support to
various plans for the rearrangement
of government services. The Illinois
senator Is behind the Idea, concen
trating his whole legislative career
on efficiency.
The Idea of concentrating com
mittee work In the senate In a few
committees Is not new. but no party
hitherto has been i ble to shut off
the little patronage privileges and
political camouflage that went with
membership in several committees.
5me vaelesa Cobnut tee.
The burdens brought on by war
and a congested calendar make the
senators more than ever desirous of
cutting out insignificant and unim
portant committees. For instance,
there was a time when a committee
on Indian depredations might have
been necessary, but not any more.
Then the work of several committees
Involves the same kind of subjects and
can easilv be combined. A committee
on the Mississippi river and its tribu
ttnes can be combined with a com-
i mon interoem canal A committee
I to investigate trespassers ca Indian
lands can be absorbed by a committee
on Indian affairs. A glance at the
Mnirreaesonai directorv reveals now
easily the condensation of committee
work can be accomplished. It will
mean that more work will be done in
committee and that more attention
will be riTen to what ks dose.
As It Is. members of the senate find
themselves on four or five committer
meet In sr on the same day. Toe result
is patchwork legislation which takes
up more time on tne xioor or vne
senate when amendments too often
become necessary.
