WOMEN ARE FREED
 OF ACCUSATION

New York. December 29.-The two wom- en who nearly two years ago were ar rested on the charge of robbing War ner M. Van Norden, the former banker, early one morning near the Waldorf As- toria hotel. an episode, the echoes of which were heard in the secret trial of William J. Cummins, were freed of the accusation today when the court dis missed the indictments against them be- cause there had heen no prosecution. 3 The women were Bessie Roberts, known also as Kit Dowell, and May Williams.
 Van Norden, then president of the Van Norden Trust company, is said to be in Ghina. During the Cummins trial it was testified this year by Bradley Martin, Jr., that the publicity given to the hold up incident had jeopardized stocks pledged as collateral by the Van Nor den interests with various banks and was responsible in part for the putting up of a trust fund in the Carnegie Trust con- pany, from which Cummins was convict ed of stealing.

GENERAL REYES IN
 CHEERFUL MOOD Makes Preliminary Declara-
 tiOn Before Court IN SANTIAGO PRISON Begins Period of Seventy-TwO Hours Solitary Confinement - Actual Trial Will Not Begin for
 Several Weeks Yet
IN SANTIAGO PRISON

Mexico city, December 29.-Before the military court Gen. Bernardo Reyes Who voluntarily surrendered and confessed his failure to bring about counter reVolu- tion. this afternoon made his preliminary declaration. In conformity with the law the proceedings were not made public.
 After his appearance before the court he was taken to his quarters in the San tiago prison, where he began a period or p hours solitary confinement
 His first night in the military prison here did not appear to depress General Bernardo Reyes. He slept in the room of the sub-director of the Santiago prison and he was granted all that was necessary for his comfort. On rising this morning he ate a good breakfast, and ehatted with Col. Manuel Suarez, the director of the prison who came early to pay his re- tspeets. Among other early callers was Ig- nacio Reyes, a nephew, who brought a supply of clothes, having previously se- cured permission from President Madero to do so.
 General Reyes win be formally put at the disposition of the military judges, al though it will be several weeks before the actual trial begins.
 An official of the department of jus tiee expressed the opinion that the pen alty meted out would be about three years in jail. Although, according to the mili- tary penal code acts of high treason are punishable by death, it is thought the charge will be modified to crime of lesser degree.
 Where the rebellion has resulted in rob- bery, spoilation, burning and assassination, the punishment is eight or ten years i'm prisonment.
 Should it be shown that Senor Reyes was responsible for the uprising, the pun istment of eight or ten years might be increased.
