public works of the army and navy and
certain other technloel work; practical
standardization of buildings and usa of
type sets of plans and specifications in
erecting public buildings to be used
solely for postoffices in the same class
or group; adoption of a less costly but
durable, simple and architecturally de
siriable construction to permit of eco
nomical operation and maintenance; no
building to be authorized where post
office receipts are less than SIO,OOO a
year; prompt Wpproprlation for construc
tion of the proposed building for the de
partments of state, Justice and com
merce, and housing of ail federal ac.
tivlties In the District of Columbia In

REBELS TODAY
CONTROL ALL
Brownsville, Texas—For the first
time since the present revolution be
gan the Mexican constitutionalists to
day were in control of the entire nor
thern frontier of Mexico divided by
the Rio Grande from Texas. Four stra
tegic garrison towns and 844 miles of
rich land are Included in the territory.
The rebels completed (heir control
of the section when Nuevo Laredo
and Pledras Negras were occupied
without the firing of a shot. Previous
ly Matamoros, opposite Brownsville al
Ihe the mouth of the Rio Grande, and
Juarez, where revolutions are mSne,
were the important northern points
under the sway of Venustlano Car
ranza. The federal garrison of Nuevo
ijaredo and Pledras Negras evacuated
their town suddenly utter the United
Htates forces landed nt Vera Cruz.
Beside the four large towns the re
bels also hold on the border Las Vo
cas, opposite Del Rio; San Ygtmclo In

II AND KERMIT
ARRIVE SAFELY
The Colonel and Son at
Manaos, Brazil. Brief Cable
gram So Announces.
New York. —Col. Roosevelt and Ker
mit have arrived safely In Manaos,
Brazil, according to a brief cablegram
received by Theodore Roosevelt, .Tr.,
at his office here today. The message
made no mention of the other members
of the exploring party but stated that
the trip whs unusually successful. Mr.
Roosevelt declined to glvo out the text
of the message. He said he expected
further word from his fiither. The
announcement from Rio Janiero that
the colonel had discovered a new tribe
of Indians in the wilds of Brazil had
been predicted hy scientists, according
to anthropological authorities of tho
American musuem of natural history.
Charles W. Meade, assistant, curator
of the department of anthropology,
said It was not surprising In view of
(he fact that only about one-fourth of
the entire territory of northern Ar
gentine and tho Caribbean sea has
been explored. It is believed that ful
ly 500 different dialects are spoken In
that vast area.
