NEW YORK, -Oct. 5. Several
men from the ranks of the un-
employed who found places far
in front of the lines of word
series ticket seekers last night
sold these advantageous posl-
Hons to more fortunate broth-

Police orders had been issued
that Buch conduct would not be
tolerated but officers in charge
of the blue-coated squads were
swayed by the pleas of the job-

declared that upon this one

Rumor Elmer ; Dover of Ta

' Aide of Harding in Mexico
Carries Letter to Mexican
President.
Ml?XICO CITY,' Oct. 5. (Dy the
Assooiated Press.) Reports that El
mer Dover of Tacoma, Wash., had
been named personal representative
of President Harding- in. IJexlco,
which were current some time ago,
were revived here today by the news
paper. Excelsior.".':' TfieiInCormation
"obtained with the. greatest difficul
ty", from high. Mexican sources, ac-
cording to the newspaper, indicated
that "overtures, from the sta-te depart- j
ment in Washington, expected to pave
i the way for speedy recognition of the
Obregon government by the' United
: States, wero being brought to Mexico
0 J City by Mr. Dover, who was -expected
ailiva iicic lino aiLuiuuuu.
Mr. Dover was said to have been
given an autographed letter to Pres
ident Obregon by Mr. Warding,' this
being the fourth in an Important se
ries of personal com'munications be
tween the two executives. ,
The Excelsior,, in its report gave
the Impression that- by Instruction
fiom President Harding, all negotia
tions concerning American recogni
tion had been committed to Mr. Do
ver's hands. The newspaper's state
ments which bore the official stamp,
or which appeared to be at least semi
officially inspired, were not in ac
cordance ' with ' general belief here
that George . T. Summerlin, United
States charge d'affaires had been des
ignated sole spokesman and repre
sentative of the United States gov
ernment In the negotiations prelimin
ary U recognition. Mr. Summerlin
said last night he had received no
instructions from the state depart
ment relative to Mr. Dover's visit to

AND IAX BUDGET
L
At n, lenKthy BOSHion of tho city
coum-tl last night 'among' tho busi
ness transacted was 'tho appointment
of a budget commission of citizens
to act with the council in drawing up
the city expense budget and fixing the
tax levy for next year, an informal
discussion of the Bnxnum. hotel fire
aud lessons to' bo; drawn therefrom,
including the organization of an aux
iliary flro. department and t.he,.0clsTi,
tUary fire depart inont, and the docis
proportlos taken over by tho city be
cause of unpaid delinquent ' assess
ments. ; ' "
Tho six citizens appointed to act
with the council on the tax budget
matter as required by the new state
law, are A. 3U- Hill, O. C. Eoggs, F. E.
Merrick, A. C. Hubbard, Vernon Vaw
tor and John A. "Wcsterlund. They,
with the couneilmen will draw up
the proposed expense budget. of the
pity, which muut be published In a'
locay newspaper 20 days before a
public hearing on the same. After
this hearing the council makes tho
levy. Under tho old method no pub
lic hearing was' given on tho budget.
Jlnrgravo' Addresses Council.
Dr. H. P. llargravo o Oakland,
Calif., former efficient .councilman
for six years, who Is visiting in the
city, was a visitor at tho meeting,
watching his former colleagues per
form, and made a, brief address. He
told the couneilmen that while now
a non-resident ho still' had a heart in
terest in Med ford affairs, as ho still
owned property in the city, and ad
vocated the . council to ; discontinue
selling the-taken over delinquent tax
properties at privato sale, and to sell
them in batches at a public sale
from tlie to time." This method, ho
argued, was the fairest one and would
sell the properties- much fiisler.
The visitor also urgod, that the
council fill tho councilmanie vacancy
in tho second ward, as the council
needed Its full membership of six
men to transact the affairs of thu
city advantageously. For many
months Dr. Keen has been .the only
councilman from this ward since A.
L. Hill resigned because of moving
to tho east side.
I)irnuiu Fire Ijcssoiih.
'It developed at the informal dis
cussion of- tho Bnrnum hotel fire of
yestorday, that about fifty citizens
worked vnllently on the fire us volun
teer firemen, helping out tho regular
dpqrtmont, but that among theni
were too many bosses. All Orders at
a fire should be given by Fire Chief
Lrfiwton, the councilman thought, and
his orders should be rigidly obeyed.
To avoid confusion, at large fires
especially, tho couneilmen faVored the
city organizing a volunteer auxiliary
d-hftan mntnl.nPB nil 11
uiienu orcnsionm uru ai jiis mm ac
quire skill in fire fighting. Nothing
dcfinltle was don about tho master
last night, but it will probably be
acted on In the near future. The
mayor and couneilmen are deeply ap
preciative, however, of.. tho valuable
work performed by the volunteers at
the Barnum hotel .fire and other fires
of the past.
That fire also showed the council
men the ncccflKlty of having one or
more water standplpes at tho s(do of
every large structure over two floors
high, with valve at each floor. Thin
would obviate the necessity of the
firemen having to carry the heavy
hose up ladders to the higher floors
and the top of the burning building,
thus losing ' much valuable time.
Jlereafter tho city will not permit the
erection of any' structure over two
floors high especially in the business
district unless tho owner crccts such
standpipes. . '.
It wa voted by the council Li pur
chase 50 fpt fif new 'hose for th
fire department.

It was- learnoJ today tho loss Tn

lated in tho Mall Trlbuno account of
the flro, about $50,000, and Mr. Bar-

por cent of this sum. It will bo about
15 days yet boforo the Insurance is
adjusted, after which Mr. Barnum
stated today that he would at once

damage. . It will probably bo three
months boforo tho structure is in

but tenants of tho building are btsy
huitllng up new places In whlcu.to re-
Ido, and in trying to trace some of
their personal effects which were car
ried, or thrown out of the building
during the fire excitement. The scar
city of furnished housos and apart

who left the city today on a hunting
