Villa Leaves.
Washington, D. C.—One official
message today from Consular Agent
Oarothers, at Torreon, reported the
rebel loss in killed and wounded at>out
that city as 1,200. No estimate was
mane of federal losses. The message,
it was said at the state department,
■was the only official word received
from Torreon since Carothers yester
day confirmed the capture of the city
by Villa.
Juarez, Mex. —Opinion that General
Villa intends to take every advan
tage of the defeat of the federals at
Torreon was expressed here today. It
was based on intelligence officially an
nounced last night that Villa had left
suddenly for San Pedro to take charge
of rebel troops reported to have par
ticipated in an encounter with the
fleeing federals.
Departure of Villa from Torreon
prevented the promised telegraphic
conference with eGneral Carranza.
Fear Effect of News.
Mexico City.—The federal govern
ment continued obstinately to deny
today the capture of Torreon by the
rebels, it was assumed In many quar
ters, however, that Gen. Huerta ann
hls ministers were not in ignorance
of the fate of that city.
It was suggested that the with
holding of the news from the public
was based on phychologlcal rathe’
than military grounds. It was pointed
out by serious-minded people here
that tile temperament of the Mexican
populace was such that the news of
a disaster like the fall of Torreon
might easily start an avalanche of
public opinion against the administra
tion, which would thus find itself se
riously embarrassed at a most criti
cal moment of Its career. Capture of
Torreon gives the constitutionalists
cnntxM of practical')" half the repub
lic with the excel ti n of the cities of
Saltillo and Monterey, the capitals of
the states of Ccahuila and Neuvo
I.eon.
Most Dangerous.
Military men regard the retreat of
Gen. Velasco from Torreon as a most
dangerous undertaking and they con
sider the position of Gen. Janiver de
Moure and Gen. Joaquin Maas, at Sail
Pedro, as precarious.
So far as is known here the federal
troops still have possession of the
railroad between Torreon and Saltillo,
where connections can be made with
the south.
Rebels, however, infest the terri
tory along the railroad south of Saltil
lo. Some of them, tinder Gen. Eulaiio
Gutierrez, have headquarters at Con
ception Del Oro. terminus of a branch
line from Saltillo and within striking
distance of the mainline. The pres
ence of this body and that of other
rebel forces In the same vicinity ren
ders improbable an unopposed retreat
of federals southward.
Torreon Fugitives.
Northward from Saltillo toward
Monterey little difficulty might be en
countered and it is not improbable
that the Torreon fugitives will attempt
to Join the federal garrison at Mon
terey.

KICK Oil the
RESERVE CITIES
Selection Assailed As Partisan.
Houston from Missouri, J.
Skelton Williams, Virginia.
Washington, D. C. —Selection of
cities for regional reserve banks was
assailed by Representative Humphrey,
republican, of Washington, who de
clared in the house today that Rich
mond, Va., was selected as a federal
reserve city because It was the home
of John Skelton Williams, a member
of the organization committee.
“When the currency bill was before
the house," said Representative Hum
phrey, "I told the house that it was
designed to place the currency system
of the country in the hands of poli
ticians and in the location of these
reserve cities you have the first signs
of that prediction coming to fulfill
ment. Not one man in one hundred
will say that Richmond, Va., for In
stance. should be the center through
which cities the size of Washington
and Baltimore should do business. It
is a city small In population and busi
ness, and the only reason for its ap
pearance on the list of the twelve re
serve cities is John Skelton William*.
"Then there are two reserve cities
in the state of Missouri, two out of
Twelve, and the reason for that. Is
that. Missouri Is the home of Secre
tary Houston. The board did its best
but you can’t expect anything else
from a partisan board.”

thus stop the contest which he ba
lleved to be embarrassing the presi

There was natural satisfaction at
the White House today that Mr. Dan

contest was regarded by officials as
of Importance In revealing tho atti

valuation of railroads.
No Truth in It.
White House officials said there was

Insisted that Mr. Daniels would he a
valuable addition to the commission
witli it fair and equitable attitude to
all questions coming before It.

Mr. Daniels in connection with the
railroad situation. Senators to whom
the president expressed ids desire for
Mr. Daniels' confirmation found the

demonstrated In the decision of the
New Jersey public utility commission,
of which he was chairman, In the
Passaic gas rate ease. They claimed
that the gaH company's property was
over-valued and that a man whose

Jury Disagree in Case
of Ed Callahan Murder
Set For Trial on June
29th. Sensational Evidence.
Winchetter, Ky. The Jury In tho
case of Thomas Davidson, charged
with complicity in tho murder of Ed
ward Callahan, former sheriff of
Breathitt county, reported today It
could not agree and was dlHeharged.
Judge Renton Immediately set tho case
for trial again on June 29.
Probably the most sensations] evi
dence in tho trial was that of "Dock”
Hmlth, who confessed during his tes
timony that he was one of three men
who fired at Callahan. Two shots,
either of which would have proved fa
tal. found their murk.
Davidson Is the only one of four
men tried for complicity in the mur
der of Callahan who has failed to be
convicted. Fourteen others charged
with the same offense will also he
tried at the summer term of court.
The prosecution announced today
that a big log tide In the Kentucky
river possibly saved Davidson from
conviction In March, because it pre

nesses from being present.
