GLYNN WILL CALL
LEGISLATURE BACK

Albany, N. Y. March 3o.-The New
York legislature adjourned sine die
early today, leaving unfinished business
that will require its return in e~xtraor-
binary session. The senate and the
house disagreed over appropriation
bills. .. ~ - rU3 KY
The lower house quit business
abruptly at 3:27 o'clock this morning
without sending notice to the senate
and he governor. Legislation, embody-

from the senate to the house. III

The appropriation bill over which tho
two houses disagreed, involved about

the total was $4,000 less than when APP
proved by the house.
The assembly's objections were based
on an alleged juggling of the items.

way Of reprisal. "
Confusion arose from cross purposes
between the two branches in its clos

failed of enactment. .rG
Harry K. Thaw figured prominently
in the later proceedings of the session.
A resolution condemning the state lau-

Only such subjects as are recon-

widely az to whether Governor Glynn
will confine himself to the necessary

against possible defeat Of a broader
program involving some of his pet

PROTEST TO GERMANY
EXPLAINED BY WILSON

Washington, March 3O.-President
Wilson today described the recent in
structions to Ambassador Gerard, at
Berlin, in connection with the German
oil monopoly bill, pending in the
reichstag, as merely in the nature Of
an inquiry and not a protest. He told
callers that the ambassador had been
instructed to ascertain If there were
any discrimination against American
industry and to report his findings to
Washington.
The attitude of this government has
been that the German government was
within its rights in creating an oil
monopoly, and that the controversy
was largely between American con-
cerns-the Standard Oil company and
Independent corporations. 1t is be-
Iieved that the instructions to Mr.. Ger
ard were to learn particularly If any
American company property was to be
,onfiscated as the result by the bill
With compensation.
The reports that the bill might be
killed in the reichstag on account of
socialist agitation nave not been of
interest here.

VILLA HITS SNAG; .
MAY BE REPULSED

Eli Paso, Tex, March 31.-That X
General Villa and his rebel army was
not defeated at Torreon, they are at
least having a desperate battle, was
the opinion expressed here by foreign
refugees from Mexico. The opinion
was based on the absence of advices
from partial observers from the front
on statements given out by he exi-
can federal consul here, and on stories
told by Americans from Chihuahua
and other Mexican cities.
A Colorado mining man, just in from
Parral, said that the city was w
with rebel wounded. Arrivals from
Chihuahua quoted two Americans, who
arrived here last Sunday from the
front, as stating that the rebels a
suffered terribly in dead and wounded
and were by no means having the sue
cesses which they have reported.
The consul asserted that Villa had
been defeated all along the line.
Two kilograms from the Mexican
federal consul at Eagle Pass, Tex, who
SAT- the information came from Tor
reon by wire yesterday were received
and federal sympathizers were jubi-
liant. The messabes said the rebels
were drawn into traps in the bull ring
and the smelter at Torreon n that
mines were exploded under them. The
consul said that the rebels a re-
treated at all points, including Gomez
PalaCio and Lerdo.
A telegram credited to Federal Cen
eral Mas said that federal troops cut
a rereating rebel column to pieces,
killing 500,
Some of the highest rebel officials
here today confessed they were at sea
over the situation.
The telegram last night said the
rebels now hold all positions except
the main barracks. In the last "a hours
1t is reported that General Villa took
Cerro de la Cruz and the Torreon
foundry,
Another telegram admits a rebel loss
in the last six days OF 900 killed and
wounded and places h federal loss
at 1000. AS there are already at Chi
huahua 500 wounded. the report OF
rebel losses is thought 20 have been
minimiZed. Among the rebel wounded
is General Tomas Urbina.
1t Is said that private soldiers taken
prisoners are being received into the

ecuted unless they take an oath of al
legiance to the constitutionallst cause
All irregular troops in the federal gar
