For First Time labOrerS Are Using
Firearms Against Police
Students Favor Strikers.

ST. Petersburg. Russia. April T.
Arising out of the labor troubles at
the Treougolnik factories here there
is a firmly established belief thai
Russia is on the eve OF a serious
revolutionary movement for which
workmen have been preparing for
some time.
Labor for the first time in the
history OF Russia, is beginning to
organize. The daily meetings OF
wcrkmen are attended by large num-
bers of men and women, and enorm-
Gus quantities of revolutionary
pamphlets are being distributed.
Another significant symptom is
that for the first time since 1905 in
serious clashes between workmel
and the police fire arms are liberal
ly used by the former. Students a
the Psychological institute have de
clared themselves On the side of thu
working men, something which has
| never happened openly before.
| The Workman are demanding rec
ognition of their rights to organize
and hold meetings; in other words
| to establish trade unions.

said:
Il am gratified, of course, to see
the reform taking place in the con-
tracts of the New York cotton ex-
change. l am convinced however
that these efforts to reform upon the

too late to prevent legislation, which
will make certain the perfection of

| ton board in a speech in the house
at is peculiar that ciies iiss
Washington and Baltimore are made

Mr.. Hum Qhrey. What man vail

its selection is obvious. II is thN

Der of the organization committee
I'VE find two reserve cities IL,
Missouri, St. Louis and Kansas City.
The answer: Missouri is the home
state of Secretary of Agriculture
Houston, another member of the
organization committee.
Five of the reserve cities are IL
sections which do altogether lesn
than one-flfth Of the business OF The
country We have only one reserv@
city on the Pacific coast, and yet this
reserve district includes Alaska and
a territory vast in area.
Defending Secretary Houston and
the organization committee Repre-
sentative Hamlin of Missouri said:
ut is unfair to attribute to Ss>crA-
tary Houston responsibility for the
selection of the two Missouri cities
on the ground that Missouri is his
home state. Ma. Houston has lived
in Missouri but two years.
System Declared Perfect.
The widespread criticism of the
reserve bank selection forced high
official of the treasurs
today to come to the defense OF the
reserve system, saying that funda-
mentally it is practically perfect.
For reasons of policy this official 10 =
fused to be quoted under his name
He said
There has been great deal "f
adverse criticism on account OF
Richmond, Va, having been chosen
as a banking center. Opponents ~
this town claim that alitmore was the
logical place. The reasons Richmond
got THE bank is because that CITY
does more business in the South than
Baltimore. Another one is that Balti-
more is too close to Philadelphia.
at is also said that New OrleapH
should have been selected over At
lanta. On the fact of it that NAV
seek plausible, but when the condi-
tons are studied it is found lh"1
the trend of business in that district
is away from rather than to New
Orleans. If the bank were put j"
New Orleans it would work great
inconvenience on the member banks
which are in the remote corner nv
Florida without the facilities to get
in touch with New Orleans as readil-
as they can with Atlanta
Will Organize At Once
Monday the treasury will send o"'
subscription blanks to the banks
which have signifi'ed their intention
of entering the federal reserve sys-
tenn. These banks will be given
thirty days in which to take ""'
their subscription. AS soon as this
work is done the actual Organize
ton of the federal reserve system
will be started. 1t is thought thai
by the middle OF the summer The ra-
serve banks will be in a fairly goe'

Washington, April 4.-Recognition
of the belligerency of the rebels i'll
northern Mexico is expected as the
next step of this government, fellow
ing the capture of Torreon and the
impending fall of TampicO.
Following this, as solution" Of

The question of according belliger-
ent rights to the constitutionalists
was being considered at the time
OF the murder of the British subject,
William Benton This temporarily
checked the negotiations.
England Will Gain
Judging from statements made to-.
day the Benton incident has blown
over, as the new plan will give Great
Britain the diplomatic right to deal
directly with Carranza and Villa as
to an indemnity for Benton's murder.
The result of according belligarent
rights to Carranza will be in it's main
details the recognition of the flag Of
the rebels on land and sea, the ack-
nowledge ment of any blockade the
rebels may establish in any Mexican.
port, and the flotation OF bonds.
Will Acquire Navy.
The state department has informs.
ton that Immediately upon the fall
of Tampico the rebels will turn
their attention to the acquisition o.
navy. This will be an easy matter
when it is spread abroad that recog-
milton of the constitutionalist cause
has been forced upon the United
States government by the success of
Villa and the inability of Huerta to
settle with England and other foreign
nations for indemnities demanded in
the other half Of Mexico.
