MANY WILL ENTER PROTESTS OVER SELECTION OF FEEDER
 AL RESERVE CITIES.
ONE SOURCE OF APPEAL LEFT
Federal Reserve Board Has the Only Right to Review the Work of the1
 Committee Which Outlined Dis  tricts and the Plans.

Washington, April 3.-There was every indication here tonight that the announcement of the reserve districts and cities by the reserve bank organization committee had given the signal for a determined struggle upon the part of several cities which were disappointed to overturn the committees decision and bring about a redistricting of the country, or at least a change in the reserve cities named.
 Under the law the decision of the organization committee is not sub ject to review except by the federal reserve board. This board probably will not be named by President Will son for several weeks but in the meantime it is believed that those disappointed with the committee an nouncement will bend every effort toward paving the way for changes. It was pointed out that both Sec retary of the Treasury McAdoo and Comptroller of the Currency Williams of the organization committee are l ex-officio members of the reserve board and hardly could be counted upon to reverse themselves. The
 president has given no intimation as
 to who the other five members will be.
 | rThA at,1ft fnAfG ra1ay orjffafyad in congress today and there were re- | ports of keen disappointment from several cities which were in the race | for reserve banks, and which failed to secure them. Three members of the senate banking and currency com mittee, two republicans and one demo- crat, found fault with the plan. Senator Weeks of Massachusetts. who opposed the law vigorously for many months but who finally voted for it, pointed out that one bank was located in Georgia, the home state of Mir. McAdoo, one in Virginia, the home state of MT. Williams, and two in Missouri, the home state of Sec retary Houston, the third member of the committee. He questioned the propriety of the selections and made other criticisms of the committee's action.
 Senator Burton disapproved the in- clusion of Pittsburg in the district of which Cleveland is the reserve center and declared that it would be impossible to make trade turn west ward from Pittsburg to that city. Senator Hitchcock pointed to the fact that Omaha had been included in the Kansas City district instead of the Chicago district and said trade did not flow that way.
 Defenders of the committee said there was no justification for the charge that it was influenced by any consideration other than the trend of trade and the banking advantages of cities chosen. Tn referring to the choice of Richmond it was said that although comment was expected be- cause of the fact that the city is the home of Mir. Williams, the commit tee was unanimous and Richmond would have been named over Balti- more and Washington if he had not been a member
 So far no definite plans for any fight against the committee selec- tions have developed.

maintained that the government was giving itself no concern about the immediate safety of Torreon. al- though admitting they had no direct communication with that city.
 Senor Alcocer offered as proof of his statements a telegram from Luis Comaduran, emigration chief at Fl Paso, dated April 1. authorizing a denial of all stories that Torreon had fallen. Senor Alcocer said he had had no news since Senor Comadu- durans dispatch. but expected short. ly to have new dispatches.
 No word of the defeat of the gov ernment forces had reached the peo- pie of the capital tonight through the newspapers and it is doubtful wheth- CT the morning journals will confirm the fact in face of the governments attitude Among foreigners the news spread rapidly, arousing much spec ulation as to what would be the ulti- mate result of the governments de- feat.
 The opinion was expressed that the loss of Torreon was a blow from which President Huerta would never recover, since it meant the annihila- ton of the best army he had been able to muster.
 If the rebels captured the federal artillery, as seems likely, it was con- ceded that they had gained an enor nous advantage, since the best of everything at the command of Huer- "a had been utilized in this campaign

HEAVIER LOSS OF
 LIFE IS FEARED
ATLANTIC STORM MAY HAVE DE-
 STROYED VESSEL WITH 17o ? PERSONS ON BOARD.

St. Johns, N. F., April 3.-As fhe hours went by tonight without word from the sealing steamer Southern Cross, fear grew that her crew of ITO men had been added to the loss of life of Tuesdays blizzard in which men of the sealer New Foundland lost their lives. The number of the Newfoundland dead was placed defi- nitely at v late today with the fur ther possibility that several of the 1l2 who werer escued would succumb to the effects of the 4S hours expos ure. Arrangements were made to- night for the reception of the rescue ship Belleventura, expected to ar rive tomorrow, bringing most of the dead and many of the vurviyors.
 In an effort to solve the mystery of the disappearance of the South ern Cross, the Newfoundland govern ment today asked the American rev enue cutter Seneca to search for the missing sealer. The costal steamer Kyle, which has a wireless equip ment, was fitted out here for cruise along the southeastern coast, off which the Southern Cross was last seen Tuesday morning a few hours before the three days blizzard set in.
 Although the vessels or the so-call- cd walled sealing fleet, of which the Southern Cross was one, have buck ed ice fields with impunity and are regarded as staunch ships, sealers say her cargo of 17,000 seal pelts would be an active danger during a storm. on account of It's instability.

INTRODUCTION CALIFORNIA
QUAIL MADE IN {. OREG0N
DISTRICT WARDEN AVERIIdI RE
CEIvES CONSIGNMENT OF
2i PAIRS.

The first introduction of the Cali
fornia quail into eastern Oregon was
made today when District Game War
den E. F. Averill received from State
Warden Finley q consignment of "a
pairs of these birds Half Of them
will be released at the game refuge
near Hermiston and the other half
at the refuge on the state hospital
grounds. Another shipment will be
made little later and the birds will
be liberated In other parts of the
county.
The quail. as Umatilla county has
known it in the past, is of two kinds,
bob-white and Oregon quail. The
California quail differs from the Ore
gon quail in appearance by the fact
that its top-knot projects forwards
instead OF backward as on the Ore
gon quail. The bob-white is easily
distinguished from either by the alb
sence Of any top-knot.
The California quail is said to be
much more hardy than either of the
other varieties, withstanding the RI
gors of winter much better. Mr.. Av-
erill believes the birds are adapted
to this climate and will multiply rap
idly.
He also expects to receive soon a
shipment of As pairs Of Hungarian
pheasants. a bird about the size OF
wood grouse and having many char.
acteristics Of the China pheasant and
quail. These birds are native OF
Hungary and a carload Is now being
brought from that country by Max
Muller. a bird enthusiast formerly In
charge Of the pleasantly at the state
asylum. He previously brought one
carload and they were released In the
Willamette valley where they are do
ing splendidly. Mr.. Averill declares
they are one OF the swiftest flying
game birds he ever saw.
