Villa Still Fighting.

Chihuahua, Mexico April 15.--Fed erals defeated at San Pedro de las Colonias are being pounded to pieces between two forces of rebels. accord ing to a telegram received today by General Carranza from General Villa.
 Villa received aid from a totally unexpected quarter, supposed at the time the telegram was filed to be the force of General Pablo Gonzales, commander of the department of the east, who has been operating in the state of Tamaulipas, of which Tam pico is the principal seaport and Nueva Leon, of which Monterey is the largest city.
 The retreating federals loaded on trains and said to number 5000, found the track torn up twenty miles east of San Pedro, according to fed eral prisoners, who brought word also that they had been attacked by a force that came from the east.
 As Villa himself had not moIested the track, he attributed this work to the mysterious endorsements.
 Learning that his new ally was in position to retard if not cut off further retreat to the east, General Villa took personal command of his own troops, intending to administer the final blow which would eliminate the enemy in the north.

torneys were in conference early to- night and would make no statement.
Governor Cruce is Firm.

Oklahoma City, April 15.-The Tulsa race course will remain under martial law as long as an attempt is made to race regardless of any coust action, according to statement oi Governor Cruce tonight.
 Asked if he sanctioned General Canton's shoot to kill' order, in the event another attempt at racing is made, the governor said:
 General Canton and Assistant At torney General Smith c. Matson are in charge of the situation
 The governor stated most emphati- cally that a decree of. any court could in no wise conflict with his order to General Canton to suppress betting. Martial law is supreme, said the governor, and it will re- main in force at Tulsa so long as any attempt is made at racing or betting.'
 On numerous occasions the gov ernor has stated that he was not op- posed to clean, legitimate horse rae ing if it can be separated from betting, and he reiterated these views tonight.
 "I told the officials of the Tulsa race track that I was not opposed to horse racing but that l was unalter- ably opposed to any form of gam bling on the outcome of the races No effort has been made by the off cials to conduct the races without gambling and the only way, as l see it, to prevent gambling is to stop the races," said the governor.
 Governor Cruce tonight received the following telegram from Canton;
 Governor Lee CruceI have cleared the grounds; have situation in hand. Understand they will start proceedings criminal court of ap- peals. (Signed)

.GUNMEN WITNESS
 ADMITS PERJURY
KARL DRESNER CONFESSES HE LIED IN A LAST EFFORT TO
 SAVE THE GUNMEN.
Did Not See Schepps, VaIIon, Rose and Webber and Was Not Near Scene of the Murder.

New York, April 15.-Karl Ores ner, one of the eleventh hour wit nesses before Supreme Court Justice Golf last Saturday in the final effort of the four gunmen, slayers of Her man Rosenthal to obtain a new trial, was arrested today after confessing himself a perjurer in a signed state ment to District Attorney Whitman.
 Justice Golf last Saturday de- nonced the testimony of Dresner and three others as worthless and unre- liable. The prosecutor announced he would investigate the source of the testimony. Hearing this, Ores ner today appeared voluntarily at Mr Whitmans office a few hours after the prosecutor had succeeded in having May tentatively fixed as the day for the beginning of the second trial of Charles Becker.
 Dresner was examined sharply by MT. Whitman and after signing statement in which he said he told many lies on the stand in a final effort to save the gunmen, he then was arraigned before a committing magistrate and locked up in the Tombs for hearing before the grand jury. In court he pleaded guilty to a charge of perjury. Ip uf ufffdoNit nrogOor told nf having seen the gray murder car on the morning of the murder He said he saw Sam Schepps on the running board Several nights before that, he testified, he had seen Jack Rose, "Bridgey" Webber and others near another restaurant and had heard Rose urge Webber to "put 1t over" on Rosenthal as the gambler was leaving the restaurant. Dresner's apparent purpose was to show that others than the gunmen were Rosen- thals slayers.
 In his statement today Dresner said he was not near the scene of the murder, did not see Schepps or Rose or Weber, did not overhear Rose urge Webber to kill Rosenthal, | and that his testimony before Justice Golf was untrue.
 District Attorney Whitman is said | to regard Dresner's confession as | significant in connection with Becker's coming trial. It had been reported to him that both Dresner and another witness who testified | before Justice Golf Saturday were prospective witnesses for Becker.
 The last of the four funerals of the executed gunmen was held today when the body of ''Dago Frank" Giro I fici was borne to a cemetery in West l Chester county.

FLEEING FEDERAL COLUMN FROM SAN PEDRO WHERE
 VICTORY WAS WON.
THE REBELS ARE REINFORCED
FederaIs Meet Check When They Encounter a Column Coming to
 Villas Aid From the East-Car- ranza Watching Tampico Incident.

Fl Paso, Texas, April 15.-General Villa and his latest victory at San Pedro was virtually lost sight of among MeXicans and refugees here and in Juarez today in the intense interest felt over developments of the Tampico incident. General Car ranza at Chihuahua was kept fully informed of the orders to the fleet and the attitude of Washington, but no statement of the position he would assume should the Americans take Tampico and Vera Cruz was forthcoming.
 Among officials the word went round not to comment on the situa- tion, but it was learned from the lips of one of Carranza's closest ad- visers that Carranza views the whole sitation as one of the greatest grav- ity to Mexico as a whole.
 Robert Pesqueria, confidential agent of the constitutionalist in Fl Paso, said for publication that all rebel leaders are convinced that Huerta would not hesitate to plunge the whole contry into foreign war when he feels his power crumbling thinking to save himself by uniting the country against an alien army.

Want This Territory Changed
From Philadelphia.

Bankers of this city appear to be
thoroughly in sympathy with the
movement under way to have the
assignment of this section to the
Philadelphia reserve bank district
known as No. 8, changed to district
No. 2, which includes New York.
Many arguments are advanced in
favor of the change, the chief ones
being the saving of time and expense
that would be enabled by dealing
with New York instead of Philadel-
phia.
Harry Conard, cashier of the First
National Bank of this city, is a mem
Der of the banking and currency
committee of the New Jersey Bank
ers' Association, which will meet
next Wednesday night, probably In
Jersey City, to formulate a plan of
procedure by which bankers hope to
bring about the change. The sub
Ject will then be discussed and action
taken. Whether it will be suggested
that the state be divided into two or
more parts for the convenience of
bankers in the various sections, is
not known at this time, 1t is known
that practically all bankers in this
city and in places north throughout
the state favor the shifting of that
territory to the New York district
for the sake of convenience and saw
ing. Those of Atlantic City, Camden,
Trenton and other southern points
would probably favor being connect
ed with No. 8 district, Mr.. Conard
said today.
SO far as the First National Bank
of this city is concerned, not more
than ten per cent. of its business Is
done with Philadelphia, and more
than twenty-five per cent. of its bust
ness is done with New York, Mr..
Conard declares. He stated that
with a letter sent out of this city at
the earliest possible moment in the
morning, it could not reach Philadel-
phia in time to enter in the banking
hours of the same day The trip to
Philadelphia he considered a day s
journey, or at least a three-hour and
roundabout trip, whereas one could
board train here almost any hour
of the day and be in New York with
in an hour. Mr.. Conard made these
statements to show In part the bene-
fits Of being able to trade with New
York in preference to Philadelphia.

Tsmpico Situation Gr.v..

Washington, April 10-As the result
of Developments at Iampico the Unit
ed States Is again confronted with a
serious problem involving its obliga-
tions to insure the protection of Amer
lean and other foreign property in
Mexico. Reports received showed that
already the fighting has resulted in ex-
tensiye property damage to foreign In
terests. Warehouses OF the Agencis
Commercial, German firm, have been
burned, with a loss Of $500. 900, and
fear is expressed for the entire prop.
erty of the Waters Pierce OIL company
because 1t Is occupied by rebels whose
position is under fire from the fedora!
gunboat.
Every effort is being made by the
state department to insure the protec
ton of the foreign properties at Tam
pico, Communications are being en-
tered into with the federal and rebel
commanders with the view OF setting
up delimitatiOn of the fighting zone
which will afford Il reasonable degree
of protection to foreign interests.
These communications probably will
be made through Admiral Mayo. COM
manding the American squadron at
Tampico. There Is grave danger of &C.
rious complications In the event that
the requests of the United States are
disregarded by either side. That each
commander will lay the blame for the
destruction of foreign property on his
opponent is more than half expected
with the result that each will refuse
to alter his course unless the other
pursues different tactics. There would
then arise the question Of how far the
American naval commander will 90 In
insisting on a compliance with the re-
quests of the United States govern
ment.
A further complication is feared in
the event OF the opposing commanders
not proving amenable to suggestion
from Admiral Mayo through the pres.
ence at Tampico Of British. German
and Spanish admirals, all of whom ara
charged with the protection of the
very substantial interests of their coun.
trymen at Tampico.

FIRE CHIEF HURT
ANSNER|NGC CALL
O'Hara's Foot Caught Between
Rear Wheel and Fire Box.

With his left foot caught between
the left rear wheel of the Mcclellan
ire engine and the firebox, Fire
Chief William P. O'Hara saved his
limb from being torn or broken by
cnnglng TO the apparatus and stand
ing On one foot for 200 feet before
the driver learned of his predicament
about 7 O'Clock last night. The
chiefs foot was severely bruised and
confused, from which he is suffering
today.
Mr.. O'Hara, on the sounding of the
alarm from box No. Sc, at Hall ave-
nue. and Charles street, did not wait
Tor the chiefs rig, as he knew he
could make better time by running
to the firehouse of the Mcclellan
Engine Company. He reached the
house Just as the engine was dashing
out, and made one leap to catch the
back stoop. He grasped the rail,
landing on his right leg on the stoop.
HIS left foot, however, was precipi-
tated to one side and landed against
the rapidly revolving spokes of the
wheel. In this position the vehicle
carried him rapidly to the scene of
formed a surface that prevented his
foot from going through the spokes
and the chief from being wrenched
from his position and being hurled
around in its rapid rotation.
Near the three bridges in Hall
avenue his cries for help reached the
ears of Patrick Dwyer, who was
driving. The driver looked around
and stopped Immediately. Fireman
Martin Noonan, who was next to the
chief on the stoop, tried to pull his
limb from the wedge into which II
had fallen, but the engine was NOV
ing so rapidly that he could not aid
him until the driver stopped the
horses.
The alarm was turned in by
Bernard Amkraut, of 207 Hall ave-
nue., who had seen smoke issuing
from the second story tenement
apartments. 1t developed the smoke
came from an oven of a hot stove In
which had been placed sticks OF wood
to dry, and which caught FIRE. There
was no damage.
