Juarez, Mexico, April 1-Reports that Torreon had fallen were definite ly denied by General Villa late today. His telegram was based on a message of congratulations on the "falP of Tor reon despatched to him yesterday by Colonel Fidel Avila, chief of arms of the garrison here. General Villa re- piled as follows:
 Villas Telegram.
 Gomez Palacio, April 1, 1914 "Colonel Fidel Avila,
 'Jefe de Las Armas, Juarez.
 '1n reply to your message, I wish to state that while I have taken a part of the city of Torreon, the strug- gle is not yet completed. I expect to obtain a triumph of which I will advise you.
 "(Signed)
 GENERAL FRANCISCO VILLA
 Little News From Torreon.
 Details of the struggle received to- day were brief and showed that the relative positions of the contending forces have not changed to any ex- tent in the last five days.
 Whether the forces of General Joa- Quin Maas, marching to the relief of the federals at Torreon, have yet en- gagged that of the rebel general, Mon clovio Herrera sent to meet him, was not known. No confirmation was re- ceived of the rumor that a trainload of the soldiers of General Maas was blown up by dynamite.

MISSING GIRL RETURNS
 AFTER 24 HOURS ABSENCE
Tells Story of Being Kidnapped by
 Two Men,

New York, April 1.-Sixteen-year- old Jessie Wood returned to her home in RidgefieId Park, N J., tonight as Quietly as she left it last night, when she walked out hatless and disappear ed. arousing the townspeople to the extent that the school she attended was closed today to that the pupils might search for her. The girl is a daughter of Percy L. Wood, head bookkeeper in the Corn Exchange bank in this city. She had been worrying over examinations that were to have been held in the school today.
 Miss Wood walked unaccon7panied down the road tonight. entered her home and climbed the stairs to her room. There it appeared for a time according to friends of the family. that she did not comprehend that she had been away, and her family thought she was suffering with aphasia.
 Two physicians were summoned and the girl became hysterical and de- clared she had been kidnapped by two men near her home. Her story was that she had been taken to New York in an automobile, kept in a garage over night and that she escaped this morning and made her way back to Ridgefield park, and a policeman giv- ing her money for her fare The po- lice have begun no investigation, as far as is known and the family seems to regard the incident as closed

A TOTAL CAPITAL OF
 ABOUT s10o,ooo,oo0
Amount Available for Federal Reserve
 Banking System.

Washington, April 1.-The new fed efai reserve banking system will start puSlnesS with a total authorized cap- 1tal of about S100,000, 900 for all re- serve banks, no matter how many in sututlons the organization committee decides to set up. This fact became apparent tonight when figures were made public from all national banks responding to the last call of the comptroller of the currency, made March 4.
 The total capital and surplus of the i,494 national banks reporting was gwen at about $1,7S8,000, GOO. Under the reserve act each national bank must subscribe six per cent. of it's cap ita1 and surplus to the capital of the reserve bank in it's district and six per cent. of this total would be about $lOIOOO,O 900. Only {, 7,465 national banks s1gnifed in the legal time their in tentlon to enter the system, so the total would be somewhat reduced. but the entrance into the system of state banks and trust companies will tend to offset this and it is possible that with these institutions figured in the capital of all reserve banks will be near $110.000,O00
 The actual working capital of the reserve banks may reach only half this amount, for the law provides manda- tory subscriptions of only three-sixtfs s of the total six per cent The reserve board, the machine which will direct the system, however, is authorized to demand the payment of the other three sixthS.

STILL FIGHTING.
Csrranza Receives Message to That
 Effect from Villa.

Juarez, Mex, April 1.-Heavy fight ing was in progress at Torreon today according to 1000 word report re- ceived by General Carranaz from Gen. eral Villa tonight. The gist of the in- formation was given out through Gen eral Carranza's secretary, Alfredo Ere ceda, to the effect that the heaviest fighting was proceeding in a so-calIed canyon named Huarache, the southern railroad exit from the city.
 The canyen is said to be in reality 6 sort of basin formed by the proximity of three mountains. Through this basin two railroads run.
 It is one of the most strongly forti- fled of the federal positions and Senor BreCeda said that the rebels were meeting with unexpected stubborn re- eistance. It is reported General Joa- quin Maas, with federal reinforce ments, who has been reported at Sal tillo, to the east of Torreon, Is making g circuit to the south with the pur- pose, the rebels assume of rejoining the NelaSco forces in Huarache.
 Whether the rebel force under Gen eral Herrera sent out to intercept him has been engaged is not known, ac- cording to Senor Breceda. The rebels have cut the railroad between San Luis PotosI and AgUascalientes. This is 300 miles south of Torreon and is said to indicate the activity of another column of rebels intent on hindering the movements of the federals

BRITISH SITUATION
 HAS QUILTED DOWN.
Sentiment For Settlement on Federal
 Basis is Growing.

London, April IA remarkably pa cific spirit has come over the present situation, in strang econtrast to the storm and stress of a week ago. It is almost certain that MT. AsQuith will be returned to parliament unopposed. The feeling in favor of a settlement on a federal basis is gaining ground.
 The Unfonist, Sir Mark Sykes, made a strong appeal for such 8 settlement during the debate on the home rule bill today, which also was notable for 8 very pacific speech by John Dillon nationalist for Mayo. The youngest members of the Unionist party and the older members on the Liberal side are working hard to secure a settlement of the home rule question by con- sent.

HUERTA TO CONGRESS.
Will Sacrifice Himself to Achieve
 Peace of Country.

Mexico City, April 1.-"Before leav- ing these precincts must engraVe up on your hearts that it is my purpose, as I have said before to the national congress, to achieve the peace of the country, and if to do so your sacrifice and mine shall be indispensable, you and I will know how to sacrifice our selves. This is my purpose, or, what is the same thing, my profession of po- Htical faith"
 With this statement President Huer- ta ended his message to congress which convened tonight. The docu- ment otherwise was devoid of sensa- tional or dramatic effect. Throughout the reading neither the members nor those in the gallery interrupted with applause.
 The president pointed his finger as he impressed upon the congress his profession of political faith" Then came applause, with cries of Viva, Huerta.' in volume sufficient to make up for the lack Of applause during the early part of his speech.
 In his message President Huerta said he refrained from extensive men ton of international relations, al though he commented with some bit terness upon the discussions of the va rious governm ents and the difficulties the Mexican government had encOunt- cred in obtaining money, owing to the influence exercised by the strange at totude of a certain power towards Mexico
 The only direct reference to the United States was in a review of the work done by the foreign office when he said:
 Referring to the departmen tof foreign relations, l must tell you that the government of the republic has earnestly endeavored to develop a. just nationalistic policy, which, far from injuring our international relations, has resulted in making them the most cordial possible with the chief powers of the world.
 Some of the American states have not yet recognized the constitutional government ad interim of the repub- lie, but the greater number of them keep in Mexico diplomatic representa- tives and no one of them has inter- rupted relations with the republic The United States has been so good as to invite me, through His ExceIIency, President Wilson, to organize in com mon accord the preparatory work for the approaching peace conference at the Hague"

New York, April 1--The resignation of Douglas l. Mckay as police com missioner has been in Mayor John Fur roy Mitchefs hands since last Friday. This fact became known late today after the publication of a report that within three days the mayor would appoint a new commissioner. The mayor admitted, upon being question ed, that Mckay had submitted his resignation. The commissioner desired to retire at once if possible and by April 15 at the latest.
 Legislature Killed Police Bill.
 Mayor Mitchell said he had had no fault to find with Mckay, who has been commissioner about three months.

Goethals, builder Of the Panama canal, would consent to legislature killed the mayors police bill, designed to amend the city char ter so that Colonel Goethals would be willing to take the post.
 Mayors Secretary Mentioned.
 Mckay, formerly first deputy com missioner, was appointed commission CT as successor to Rhinelander Waldo. who resigned on the last day of Mayor Ardolph L. Klines' administration. It WdS unQeISGOOQ at that tune IHdI IHe appointment was a temporary one. Who will succeed to the post is not known.

 To Resume Private Business.
 The assumption at police headquar- ters that Mckay resigned to resume private business was confirmed tonight when the mayor gave out the commits sioners letter and his own reply to Mckay.
 The commissioners communication alluded to the mayors efforts to secure Colonel GoethalS' services and stated that Mckay has continued to serve that the city's interests might not be jeopardiZed," meanwhile. Now, how ever, Mckay wrote, the discipline of the department" requires the appoint ment of a man whom the mayor might be expected to retain and support dur ing the rest of his administration. The mayors reply contained the following words in praise of his commissioner:
 Praise from the Mayor.
 "The discussion of the possible ap- pointment of Colonel Goethals tended to render embarrassing and difficult your position. Despite this fact, your administration has been effective and has, I believe, commanded the ap- proval of the people of the city"
 Mayor Mitchell said he had not made up his mind who would be commits sioner
