MORE Than HALF
OF Illinois DRY
LOO Saloons Put Out of
Business as Result of
Tuesdays Elections.

Chicago, April S.-Jubilation was
apparent at Anti-Saloon league head
quarters today over the results of
Tuesdays election in Illinois by
which HOO saloons out of 2552 voted
upon were put out of business.
S. Scott Mcbride, state superin-
tendent of the league, said an analy-
sis of the returns already in indi-
Gated that TWENTY-FIVE counties had
been added to the thirty previously
without saloons, making more than
half of the counties of the state dry.
A fight for dry majority IN the
legislature was announced for next
fall.

CAlLLAUX Letters
UNFIT TO PRINT
Court Will Not Permit
Them Read at Trial of
Woman.

Paris, April S.-The contents OF
the Caillaux love letters, which led
to the shooting of Editor CASTOR Cal
nette and the political ruin of their
author, will never be made known to
the public, and will always remain
a missing Limb in the history of the
case.
If it should be necessary to read
them during the trial. the court will
be cleared of spectators. Photo
graphs of the letters, however, have
been circulated among certain poll
ticians and it is learned that they
throw most lurid light on M. Gail
laux's quaint view Of love.
In the most damaging passage
which is untranslatable, he places
profane love above political respon-
sibility. Most of the letters ad-
dressed to the second Nine Callaux
the woman now facing trial for the
murder of Calmette, are unprintable

RESERVE BANK
ROW CONTINUES
Feeling Over Selections
Crops Out in House
and Senate.
WILLIAMS SARCASTIC
Mississippi Statesman Quotes Tom
Reeds Derisiye Arraign-
ment of the Party
Years Ago.

Washington, April S-Criticism and
defense of the reserve bank city
selections cropped up in both senate
and house today. Members from the
cities which the organization board
passed by continue to be bitter in
their comments.
Presenting their protest of New
Orleans Representative Estopinal,
veteran Democratic leader of Louisi-
ana, charged that the reserve cities
had been selected and the contr1but-
ing territory had been apportioned
around them without regard to COM
MERGE or financial needs.
Representative Sloan of Nebraska,
supporting the assertion of General
Estopinal that the cities were select
led first and the districts built
around them, instead this could have
been the only plan under which
Kansas City was chosen for the great
intermountain country east of the
Rockies. He said that Omaha was the
logical banking center for the terri
tory that has been turned financial
ly over to Kansas City.
Hearkins Back to War
The Baltimore protest against
sending its bank reserve cities to
Richmond was presented by Repre-
sentative Linthicum of Maryland.
There was read into the record a
letter from a Richmond banker ad-
dressed to John Shelton Williams,
comptraller of the currency, pleading
for the selection Of Richmond as the
Southern capital and the money
source for the stricken South follow
ing the civil war. He claimed this
character of literature was circulated
to influence the selection of Rich
mond over Baltimore because Balti-
more remained a loyal city.
Senator Ransdell of Louisiana
asked permission to print the memor'
| ial from the citizens of New Orleans
on the action of the committee IL
| ignoring their city as the site for 8

lively party row.

Rebels Are Wrestling Territory From Huerta's Control

An idea of the inn. ense area Of the
territory in Northern Me ,,N that has
fallen into the hands OF lie Eonstl-
tutionalists, as a result Of tn lall OF
Torreon, is gained by a comparison
of the five states now in the rebels
hands with American states. The to-
tai area of Conora, Chihuahua, Du-
range, Sinaloa and Tamaulipas, all
reckoned as Constitutional territory,
is 274,976 square miles, as compared
with 262, 800 square miles, the area
of all Texas, and At ,260 qsuare miles,
the area of the state New York, or
approximately six times the area or
the Empire state. The shaded por-
tons of the map represent the terri
tory now in the control OF the rebels.

Transport for Refugees

Washington, April S.-Admiral
Fletcher at Vera Cruz was ordered
today to utilize the navy transport
Prairie to take care of refugees at
Tampico.
The order was rushed following
an emergency conference late this
afternoon between Admiral Victor
Blue, acting secretary OF the navy.
and Boazong, chief of the Latin d.
vision of the state department.
Unofficial dispatches say that there
is actual fighting already in the
streets of Tampico
If the rebels should get control OF
Tampico there will be new history
in the Mexican revolution, as Spain,
England, France and Germany are
expected to utilize the situation to
treat directly with the rebels, ignor-
ing the United States.
The Prairie has about 1000 marines
on board, and it is not known here
definitely what action Admiral
Fletcher may take, although. his dis
patches today Indicate serious condi-
tons.
Rebels Burn Oil Tanks.
There was a fight to the foreign
warships last night and it apears that
refugees are still being taken out OF
Tampico while federal gunboats are
Smelling approaches TO the city.
One of the important items OF
Admiral Fletcher's advice today was
that the rebels have burned the
Pierce refinery oil tanks.
Admiral Fletcher Immediately sent
new letters to the opposing COM
manders reminding them OF the
agreement guaranteeing protection
of oil property.
United States Loses Prestige
Great Britain is Immediately inter-
ested In oil properties at this place
and for this reason it was UNDER
stood they would not be molested at
the time the United States made
heroic Efforts to negotiate the. agree
ment. 1t is evident now that the
agreement has been broken and that
4h United States has lost its prestige

New York, April S.-Important to-

the big tobacco companies intended
to abolish the practice of giving away
