MEXICAN FEDERALS
TALK WITH REBELS
Valasco and Angeles Engage in
Telephone Communication
Prior to Battle

Juarez, Mexico, April IA detailed
and official" narrative of the recent
campaign that gave Torreon to Cen
eral Francisco Villa and his rebel
army reached here to-day. 1t is full
of facts concerning the struggle, one
of the most interesting being the story
Of a long distance telephone conversa-
ton on March 20 between the rebel
general Felipe Angeles. and General
Refugio Valasco, Federal mmander
at Torreon.
According to the document, after
the insurgents had occupied BermeJillo
and were preparing for the next days
march against the Federal stronghold.
General Villa and Angeles called
Gomez Palacio by telephone. At that
time Gomez Placio was the Federal
base and the wires connecting it with
Bermejillo had not been cut, as the
Federal garrison in the latter city
had evacuated only few hours be-
fore.
The call made, General Angeles took
the receiver and a moment later was
answered by captain. Eguiluz, an
aid to Velasco. After inquiring as to
who was at the other end of the line.
the Captain handed the received TO
General Velasco, who was asked by
Angeles at that time to give Torreon
to the rebels.
Villa also had a telephone commu-
nication with a Federal officer.

Then Lee Francis Lybarger, of Lew

will likely be made at an adjourned
session tomorrow. The personnel of
the commission is q matter of gen.
eral speculation throughout the city
and while Commissioner Taylor could
not be seen to discuss the appoint
ments, 1t was generally believed in

choice would be as follows:
Benjamin f. Umberger, lawyer.
George w. Reilly, banker.
Edwin S. Herman, wholesale
tobacco manufacturer.
George A. Shreiner, real estate
and builder.
Francis Jordan Hall, general

yer and Is regarded as an expert on
municipal law and practice He serv-
ed many years in Council and was
president of Select Council as we'll as
chairman of the joint finance commit
tee. In the campaign for the new City
Commission he was strongly supported
and 1t is believe his selection as one
of the members of the important City
Planning CommissiC-. will be general
ly approved. Mr.. Umberger is under
stood to be engaged at the present
time in writing a work on municipal
administration.
Men Widely Known

ways been foremost in promoting the
plans for a greater Harrisburg. Mr..
Hall was not in the city to-day and II
could not be learned whether he had
decided to accept plG on the COM
mission. although there seems to be no
doubt that Superintendent Taylor rec
quested him to become a member.
George W. Reilly is one Of the best
known bankers in the city, being one
| of the officials of the Harrisburg Trust
Company. For years he was a United
States banking examiner. Mr. Reilly
| is one of the most progressive of the
| citizens OF Harrisburg and has taken
a lively interest in every movement for
the city's development. He has many
friends who have urged his selection.
| George A. Shreiner Is one of the
active real estate men of the eastern
section of the city and as a builder
has done much to improve the archi-
lecture and the general housing con-
ditions of Harrisburg. 1t is expected
that his selection will please the inn
portant Allison Hill district of the city
where he has been so important a fac
tor in making that district an attrac-
tive section of the State Capital.
Work OF Body

! sion powers are granted which Will
enable the new body to still further

pecially will the commission be able
