! Every liberty-loving Amer

AS it is with men, so it is with
nations. Military preparedness
instead Of being a guarantee OF

justice has been DONE"
About a month ago. on the
date first set for the executions,
Irby Travelled to Atlanta, and was
very much put out because an

The three negroes who paid
the death penalty were George
Hart aged Is. Robert Paschal

II. They were executed singly,
the same rope being used for all
three.

WHY RICHMOND
WAS SELECTED
Vigorous Reply Of Organi--
zation Committee to
Disappointed Ones.
CITY WON ON MERITS.
Lends Twice as Much Money in Ter
ritory to be Served as Baltimore and
Washington Combined.

Washington, April 1.-THE federal
reserve bank organization committee
has issued a statement defending it's
choice of reserve bank cities and defi-
nitHon of reserve districts. 1t was the
first officisH answer made to criti-
cisms voiced in CONGRESS and heard
from cities which failed to get reserve
banks. For the first time some of the
l.lata used by the committee reaching
It's conclusion was maize public.
Particular attention was given to
the ccmnittea's reasons for choosing
Atlanta, Ga, and Dallas, Tex, in
preference to New Orleans; for select
ing Richmond instead Of Baltimore,
and for ngEing Kansas City instead of
Denver, Colo, Omaha, or Lincoln, Neb.
The committee called attention to the
fact that since thirty-seven cities were
applicants and only twelve named,
twenty-five had to be disappointed.
Distressing the choice of Richmond,
the committee pointed out that
banks in South Carolina, North Car
olina and Virginia preferred THAT
city to Baltimore CT Washington, am
declared it was thought unwise to To-
cate another reserve bank close to
Philadelphia. It was pointed out, al
so, that sworn statements to the
Comptroller Of the Currency showed

SAN PEDRO IN
REBELS HAN.
Velasco's Troops Unable to
Hold Their Position
Retreat.
CONCERTED ATTACK.
Sanguinary Fighting Around Parras
Scene Equals That at Torreon-
Federals Scattered.

San Pedro, Coauhila, Mexico, April
I.-After a terrific battle that has
been on for eight days from San Ped
TO to Parras, federal forces, under
ccIrlmand of Gen. Refugio VeEasco ami
General Mas, ae scattered AMI are re-
treating to Saltillo today with the
dogg:ng every foot of the way. The
fighting has been continuous.
The federals scattered from Par
ras, where constitutionalists under
Generals Benavides, Herrara, and
Francisco Cos, struck the retreating
foces at Parras and completed their
rout, sending them in scattered az
ray in the direction of Saltillo. Parras
is 90 miles east of Torreon, and 100
miles west of Saltillo.
The fighting arouri Parras, under
which the fe:elials broke this morn
|! !Gng,aws as fierce as tha tai Torreon,
the ';;ea:liest engagement of recent
| wars.
| Last reports are to the effect that
Refugio Veiasco's forces gave way
under the driving attack of the three
rebel columns and finally broke.
San Pedro fell into the hands of the
corstitutionalists yesterday when the
federals evacuated under the attack
and retreated to Parras, where z
three constitutioralist columns fell up
! or them.
| Losses on both sides were tremen-
/! ;:Ious at San PeSro, and the federais
| lost heavily at Parras and in the pun
suit arross the plains toward Saltlllo,
which is still on.
Today's engagement will probably
mark the end of the campaign in the
state of Coauhila. The rebels have suf
feed from lack of ammunition and
supplies. Ortega and Hernandez were
twice compelled to fall back toward
! their base at Sacramento, but each
! time returned to the attack when sup
! plies came in from Torreon.
Villa is holding his main command
at Torreon, ard has not yet unter-
taken general movement on Saltillo.
General Velasco will probably merge
his jaied forces with those Of General
Hidalgo, who is reported today as
coming out of Saltillo to meet him.
! The federals have good base and an
abundant of supplies at Saltillo. Vii
las forces are jaded and are far from
a safe base Of supplies.
Serious international complications
! may be forced at Tampico as the re-
suit of the attitude of the Fedora!
am consttutionalist commanders
there, according to private views of
officials here today.
The German and British command
ers of war vessels in their harbor are
reported chatting under the restric-
tions reported by Admiral Mayo, the
American commander. The latter has
already been defied by both sides in
his demand that the combatants,
struggling for possession of the city,
shall respect foreign property. The
English end German naval chiefs are
reported to have threatened to land
forces for the protection Of their own
nationals if Mayo Goes not enforce his
order. And this threat may force
hand of the American and corpel HIM
to land his own bluejackets and ma
rires.
