BLOODY BATTLE
STILL RAGING
IN TORREON
Only Meager News Reaches Out
side, but City Has Noe Yet
Fallen, Says Report.

JUAREZ, MEXICO, March 60
The battle of Torreon is still raging
but Constituencies officers declared
to-day that they had no late news OF
the situation in the town, which is
being so bravely defended by General
Refugio Velasco and his Federal
troops.
The military censorship was main
tanned. the interruption of newspaper
dispatches giving rise to reports that
General Villa had suffered severe
check in his attempt to capture the
main plaza of Torreon.
A brief dispatch was received by
General Chao, Governor of Chihua-
hua. shortly after midnight, and he
transmitted it at once to General
Carranzs, the Provisional President,
but when asked if he had any i'm
portant news, said:
We have nothing of importance
new. Fighting is still going on. We
doubt the truth of reports that Cen
eral Villa and General Benavides
have been wounded, because if these
reports were true we would have re-
ceived some official notification"
Bloodiest of Revolt. -
There is no doubt that the battle
in and around Torreon has been the
bloodiest engagement of the revolu-
ton against President Huerta. 1t Is
believed that more than 5000 men
have been killed or wounded in the
conflict Constitutionalist officials
minimize their losses as usual, but
are unable to furnish any evidence
that the rebels have suffered less Sc
riously than the Federals whose loss
es are reported at over 1000.
This 'city is now the seat of the
Constitutionalist Government. Provi-
sional President Carranza, who ar
rived last night. will remain here un-
I'll the battle of Turreon is decided
and possibly may decide rot to so to
Chihuahua until after Villa has start
ed his campaign against Mexico city.
There was intense excitement here
early to-day when a fusillade of shots,
fred to give an alarm of fire, led to
rumors. that Federal soldiers had at
tackled Juarez in an attempt to cap
ture General Carranza.

Texas border TO-DAY over reports
from F'abiens that Charles Beall, an
American ranchman. had been muir
dered by Mexicans at Gaudeloupe,
small town only short distance
from the Rio Grande.
A dispatch from Fabie0s said that
Beal had been executed" and this
gave rise to the belief that he had
been killed either by Federal or Con-
stiturionalist soldiers though no de-
tails were given. The dispatch also
said that a party Of Americans was
forming to go to Gaudeloupe. This
caused prompt action by the United
States military authorities.

VILLA READY TO RETIRE
Would Resign Command Of Army and
Return to Private Life If Necessary
to Bring About Elimination of Car

Washington, Nov. 6--General villa
has formally notified the national con-
vention at Aguascalientes Of his will
ingness to resign command of his
troops and retire to private life if that
is necessary to bring about the elirni-
nation of General Carranza.
The convention, according to official
reports received here today, received
Villas communication with n tumult
of applause. No action was taken on
it, pending the report Of commission
which went to Puebla to notify Car
rama of the selection Of General
Gutierrez as provisional president.
Villas statement is in answer to the
stipulations of General Carranza that
with his own retirement, villa and
Zapata should be eliminated from mill
tary authority. According to reports
from American Consul Sllliman, re-
sistance by Carranza of the conven-
tion's orders Will depend on the att.-
tude of Gen. Pablo Gonzales. COM
mander of the division of the east. He
is at Quetaro with several thousand
troops and indications are that he Will
remain loyal to Carranza. Carranza' $
visit to Obregon, commander of the
division of the northwest. Il is believed
by officials here, may have an import
ant bearing on the situation, as Obre
gon had declared his loyalty to the
convention and will endeavor to per-
suade Carranza not to plunge Mexico
into another civil war.

were Illinois, Indiana, Pennsylvania,
Michigan and New York.
Milk Supply Not Touched
So far the government has taken no
steps to interfere with the transporta-
tion of milk across state lines. The de-
partment of agriculture officials hold
that the disease is easily communicated
to hogs thru milk and even to human
beings, particularly children. The pol
icy now in force, however. is to leave
to the local health authorities super
vision over the milk supply Of the vari-
Gus communities.
Were Interstate shipments Of milk
from quarantine states forbidden, Chi.
cago would face a milk famine. A great
part Of the local supply comes from the
dairy districts Of wisconsin, Indiana
and Michigan. all ofs which are now
under the embargo.
Packers Are Optimistic.
With the disease rapidly spreading
and herculean efforts being made to
head it off, Chicago packers in inter-
views agreed upon the following opti-
mistic statements:
There will be no meat famine and
prices should not increase materially.
The 10000 employees of Packing

them will be kept employed at odd jobs
during the enforced suspension.
There is no need to fear eating

the body of the animal.

gan the work of heading off shipments

both houses Of the Nebraska legisla

democrats have elected secretary of

vote is so close as to make guessing
on the result futile.
The result in the Fifth congress

Barton's net losses over his vote of
