ARMISTICE ARRANGED
Report VeIasco Asks Villa for Amnes
ty for Troops.

JUAREZ, Mex, March 31.-An arm
istice has halted the bloody battle of
Torreon, according to reports current
at Constituencies headquarters early
today. General Refugio Velesco, Fed
eral commander in the beleaguered
city, is sal to be negotiating with Gen
eral Villa for surrender Of the town.
Both reports were partially confirm
ed by officers close to Provisional
President Carranza. who said that Car
rama had received a dispatch from
Villa last night in which the rebel
commander in chief had put the en-
tire matter up to his superior to de-
eide whether the terms asked by We
lasco should be granted.
General Carranza sent a long reply
to Villa this morning, but the instruc-
lions that the message contents were
not to be divulged. Rumors circu-
lated here and not denied by any one
in authority were to the effect that
General Velasco had demanded full
amnesty for his federal troops.
FederaIs Still Strong.
Advices received just before the
report of an armistice indicated that
the Constituencies while holding
the greater part of Torreon, had been
unable to penetrate into the main
plaza where General Velasco had gath
cred his best troops and concentrated
his artillery to sweep every avenue of
approach.
Another strong point held by the
Federals were two quarters In the
western part of the city. These lie in
a basin, which is of great strategic
advantage, the only entrance being
easily defended by machine guns.
General Nelasco suffered terrific
losses in attempting to secure this
vantage point on Monday. The Fed
erals allowed the rebels to penetrate
the basin entrance in large numbers
before their artillery fire opened. Then
hundreds of the Constituencies
were moved down and theft comrades
were forced to flee.

Smith and Rinehart Try to
Stop Formation of Indiana
League to Check Price
Boosting.
THE LOCALS ARE FIRM

Quietus on Indianapolis
and Cincinnati Money
Grabbers.

From present indications Richmond
will soon be the seat of a real war.
Things surely will be stirred up when
the Indianapolis Cincinnati baseball
trust come in contact with the Indiana
Semi-Pro Baseball association, that is
being promoted here.
The action of the Capital City Cincy
faction in interfering with the plans
of the Hoosier circuit caused the rum
pus. Following the decision of the
Indiana teams, represented at the
meeting held at New Castle some
time ago, to form a combine of teams
to combat the price boosting policy"
of visiting teams of Cincy and Indi-
annapolis, local promoters called a
meeting for the purpose of organizing
a protective circuit that would make
the travelling teams come to this city
for the same price as in other years.
AS all teams in this vicinity of the
bush looked with favor on the plan
and agreed to send representatives,
the Cincy magnates sat up and took
notice that a good many prospective
sheckles were slipping from their
grasp. Andy Rinehart, of Indianapo-
lis, and Joe Smith Of the Buckeye city,
fathers of semi-pro ball in those cities
at once set out to prevent the pro-
posed circuit from forming.
Get Busy at Once.
Smith and Rinehart Immediately
sent letters to the managers of all
teams that were contemplating join
ing the new league. The letters adj
vised the Indiana managers not to
join the league, giving as reasons a
line Of argument that would seem to
be the downfall of any team that

this, these two are doing everything

showing that in spite of their efforts

Letters have been sent to every semi
pro manager in this and surrounding
states, and replies are favorable to
the effect that one of the biggest or
CARNATIONS that was ever attempted
by bush teams will be effected at the
meeting her next Sunday. All local
managers of teams are urged to be
present at the meeting, which will be

Although nothing has been seen

training throughout the winter months

team, and is in first class condition.
Noltz is fielder, the equal Of which

NEW YORK, March 31.-With the

WASHINGTON, March 31.-In sup
port Of the Sims bill to repeal the free
tolls provision of the Panama canal
act, Representative Finiy Gray deliv-
cred a stirring speech, scoring the
governments relation in the Panama
canal affair since its first negotia-
tons.
There are two steps taken by this
government in relation to the Panama
canal which should be retraced," de-
clared Gray. Zone relates to the
quired the territory, and the other re-
lates to the acquisition of the right to
construct the canal and the action of
the congress in constituting the Hay

tolls to the coastwise ships.

SLASHED, ARDAY
ASKS RELEASE

Albert Arday, the Hungarian who
was badly slashed with knives and
razors in the hands of his country
men Saturday night, is chatting under
confinement at the hospital, and wants
to be released. Although Ardays con
dition is no longer serious, he will
be kept there for a few days. The
cuts are healing rapidly.
The other Hungarians mixed up in
the fray are none the worse except
for few bruises and small cuts. The
four who were jailed after the fight
are Richmond men, and Arday is from
Dayton. A charge of rioting stands
against Arday in the city court.

structed is different from that of all
other countries and that under the
treaty with England the United States
is not required to impose the same
tolls upon vessels of the United States

of the other countries.

construction of the Hay-Pauncefote
