Return of Villas Army
to Torreon Puzzling

Ell PASO. Tex, May 23.-The return OF
Villas army to Torreon reported in
dispatches received here today somewhat
puzzled spectators of the campaign south
Of this point.
One explanation was that Villa, after
taking Saltilio. would move against Zaca-
tecas by way of Torreon. thus cleaning
up the country along straight line
drawn east and west. This accounted for
the giving up of the projected campaign
against San Luis Potosi.
Another speculation had to do with the
reported INSTRUMENTATION of the Arrieta
brothers, insurgent leaders in Durango
state. which would be entered by way of
Torreon. This was denied emphatically
by local representatives of the constitu-
tionalist government and insurgent lead
ers in Juarez.
II was said that all of Villas troops
returned to Torreon with the exception
OF the Robes Brigade. which remained to
garrison SalGllo.
Adv1ces given out by the official in
forma ton bureau at JuareZ said that the
federals before evacuating Saltilio had
sacked tho town, burning many buildings.
among which was the Saltillo Casino,
clubhouse costing 1,OOO.OO0 pesos. and
rated the second finest in Mexico.

Representative Nelson of Wisconsin,

leave the enforcement of the law en-
tirely in the hands of the Attorney

enforcing. The bill. he insisted. would
not dissolve holding companies now

would permit common stock ownership

section of the bill legalizing the exist
