The officer confirmed the i report received here of the brothers, their father and their Chinese cook also being missing. Rebels Ready to Move Southward EL PASO, TEXAS. Aug. B.—General Orozco, the rebel commander-in-chief, may abandon his plan for a campaign in west Mexico and move southward from Juarez. There are already 2,000 insurgent soldiers at Huamada, while others are being concentrated along the Mexican Central railway lines. The bulk of General Huerta’s federal force is stationed at Chihuahua, where they have thrown up inttenchments and planted cannon to defend the city against attack. The rebels at Juarez are executing prisoners by the wholesale, according to the story of a deserting artilleryman who crossed the Rio Grande. This Mexican said that men arrested as fed eral spies are being shot daily behind the adobe Cuartel. He also said the provisions and ammunition of the in surrectos are running very low. DEAD MAN SIGNS WILL LEAVING HIS WIDOW ALL DENVER, COLO., Aug. B.—That G A. Westerdahl was dead when he sign ed his will is admitted by his widow, who filed the document for probate.

Not until this was done was the will completed. READ THIS.

Haden, president of the City Federation of Women's Clubs, began a movement today for the im provement of school yards. “Why not take advantage of all the waste dirt from the various street ex cavations the city is Staking and use this to fill up the school yards?" This question will be asked the city council by the club women. \ "There are holes in our school house playgrounds big- enough for a child to fall in," said Mis. Haden. “I under stand that much of the earth which is being removed from along Peachtree and Baker streets and at various other places in the city is being actually given away to those who will haul it, and in many cases is being hauled by the city wagons and dumped gratis on some one’s lot which needs filling. "Now, why not let the city haul this dirt to the school yards and throw it there? Practically every yard in town needs some filling and, as I said, many of them are in a deplorable state. “In many cases the dirt could be dumped in the yard and scraped over with a few shovels and that would be all the labor required. At rhe Forrest, Davis and Tenth street schools a re taining wall would have to be built, but this ought to be done anyway." Mrs. Haden is going to bring the matter up before the next meeting of the federation and numbers of At lanta's most prominent club women are backing her in the movement..
