MAY CLAIM RECOGNITION
Victorious Mexican Rebels May Organ.
ize Regular Government

Washington, April 4.-Anticipating
a period devoid of important engage
ments in Central Mexico while Villas
army is resting after it's capture of
Torreon, the interest of the officials
here is for the present confined to a
desire to know how far the rules Of
civilized warfare are to be observed
in the treatment of wounded federals
left in the hospitals at Torreon and
the prisoners taken by the rebels upon
the fall of that city.
The conduct of the constitutional
lists in their hour OF triumph is receiv-
ing close attention at the hands of
officials whose advice may have much
weight in determining the future pol
icy of the United States. 1t was to-
day said at the state department that
the constitutionalist junta in the city
believes consideration of their claims
to RECOGNITION cannot be delayed much
longer.
Conditions precedent to political
recognition in such cases have been
always regarded as involving the es-
tablishment of regular government
at one CT more seaports through
which tie new government can CON-
municate with the world. Recent re-
ports indicate that Tampico is about
to fall into the possession of the con-
stitutionalists without further fight
Ing. In that case it viii remain only
for General Carranza to locate capi.
tai and to appoint a cabinet and other
administrative officers in order to
claim recognition. The United States,
however, is likely to 60 very slow in
admitting this claim.

Wants Good Service

Washington, April 6.-President
Wilson today enunciated the principle
that is guiding him in the selection of
public servants, expressing the view
that he did not believe in choosing
men who would decide questions in a
certain way, but those whom he knew
to be just and fair. The president re-
marked that to him it seemed justice
was the hardest thing in the world
to obtain and that it required more
courage and conscience than any 9th.
er one thing.
Mr.. Wilson was discussing his ap-
pointment of Prof. Winthrop NJ. DAN
iels to the interstate commerce COM
mission. The confirmation was OBJ
tanned only after a vigorous senate
contest. The president referred to
Mr.. Daniels as just and enlightened
man, whom he had known intimately
for 25 years and whom he considered
of unusual ability.

Cruel Joke on Unemployed

Chicago, April IA cruel first of
April joke perpetrated by some per.
sons unknown to the police today
caused mob of more than 500 unem-
ployed men to congregate in a cold
rain in front of the 500 line freight
terminal. Before the men could be
made to understand that there was
no basis for the report that the rail-
road wanted hundreds of workers, the
mob surged against the steel gates
breaking the locks and pouring into
the yards, shouting 1--WE want work;
give us the jobs"
1t took the police reserves nearly an
hour to clear the men out of the yards.
The perpetrator of the hoax will be
severely dealt with it was said If he
can be found. Some one gave out the
tip among the hundreds of unemploy-
ed men gathered along West Maids.

employment agencies.

BIG Capital for Reserve Banks

Washington, April 1.-The new fed
eral reserve banking system will start
business with total authorized capt.
tai of about $100, ,0OO, 900 for all reserve
banks. This fact became apparent to-
night, when figures were made public
from all banks responding to the last
call of the comptroller of the currency
made March 4.
The total capital and surplus of the
7,494 national banks represented was
given at about $1,7SS,0 100000. Under
the reserve act each national bank
must subscribe six per cent of its cap
itai and surplus to the capital Of the
reserve bank in it's district, and six
per cent of this total would be about
S107,O00,000. There were only 7,465
national banks which signalized in the
legal time their intention to enter the
system. so that the total would be
somewhat reduced, but the entrance
into the system of the state banks and
trust companies will tend to offset
this, and it is possible that with these
institutions figuring in the capital of
all reserve banks will be near $780,
100000.

CONFERENCE ON IRRIGATION
Meeting at Denver will Urge Federal
and State Cooperation

Denver, Colo., April 3.-The exten.
sion of irrigation projects so that in
the course of time the entire arid
west may be made to blossom as the
rose will be the subject of discussion
at an important conference to be held
in this city next week. The confer
ence will meet in response to a call
issued last month by Secretary of the
Interior Lane. The chief purpose will
be to discuss plan for practical CO.
operation between the different states
and the federal government in carry
ing out irrigation and reclamation
projects on much larger scale than
has been attempted heretofore.
The present policy of the federal
government in regards to the reclama-
tion of western lands is not altogether
satisfactory to the states most inter-
ested. 1t is believed that new policy
may be worked out that will be sat
isfactory to all concerned and at the
same time accomplish better results in
the great work of reclamation and
conservation. The first and most i'm
portant step, in the opinion of those
best acquainted with the subject. will
be to devise practical plan of fed
eral and state cooperation in cleaning
up the many struggling Carey projects
throughout the west.
The states expected to participate
in the conference are Oregon, Wash
ington, Idaho, New Mexico, Arizona,
California, Colorado, Nevada, Montana
South Dakota, North Dakota and
Utah.

MONTANA SENATORS APART
Canal Tolls Controversy May Find
Them in Opposition

A Washington special to the Mis-
souiian says it is expected that the
two Montana senators will not be in
accord when the final action is taken
on the repeal of the Panama tolls.
Senator Myers, it is believed, will
support the measure, while Senator
Walsh, if he maintains his present
attitude, will oppose it.
Senator Walsh is placed in some.
what of dilemma in regard to the
tolls question. The senator was q
member of the committee of the
democratic national convention which
drafted the platform containing the
Endorsement of the free tolls provi-
sion of the Panama canal act. and up
to the present time has been a sup
porter of the free-tolls policy.
Last week the president had a con-
ference with Senator Walsh and 9TH
ers at which, it is said, the subject of
the free-tolls repeal was discussed. At
the conclusion of the conference, Sem
ator Walsh said he was still uncon-
verted to the proposed repeal.
1t is believed, however, that the
president, who has a very persuasive
way in matters he wishes to get
through congress, will succeed in con-
verting Senator Walsh to his way Of
thinking before the time comes to
take vote on the repeal bill in the
senate. It is remembered that Sem
ator Walsh was an ardent opponent
of free wool and free sugar when the
tariff debate was new but that, be-
fore it was ended, the president had
not only converted him to his belief
in free wool and free sugar, but his
conversion was so complete that he
became the chief exponent of these
theories on the floor of the senate.
Therefore, it is confidently expected
by the advocates of free-tolls repeal
that Senator Walsh will be leading
the fight for the repeal bill in due
time.

REE9ElS CAPTURE TORREON
l. Nexican Stronghold Surrenders After
Siege of TWO Weeks

Juarez. April 2.-Torreon fell COM
oletely into the hands Of the rebels at
1920 tonight, according to announce
ment made here tonight by General
Venustiano Carranza. The news was
first announced to the world when the
bugler in front of Carranza's residence
blew the staccato of victory"
The meager bulletins excitedly an
nouncing victory, after the bloodiest
series of battles known to modern
Mexico, said that Villa captured a
large number of prisoners, and that
the fleeing remnant was being pur-
sued.
Whether Velasco, the federal COM
mander, was captured, was not stated.
There was heavy fighting today, it was
said, and the end came when, after
capturing the three remaining bar
racks held in the city by the federals,
the rebels stormed the trenches and
barbed wire entanglements.
The campaign against the federal
stronghold of Torreon, the object of
the rebel campaign, began suddenly
two weeks ago after General Villa had
spent months in making the most
careful preparations.
The rebel loss in the campaign is
said to be we'll over 1000 killed and
wounded. Trains loaded with the lat
ter have been arriving at Chihuahus
for the last week.

Wool Market is Firm

Boston, April 3.-The Commercial
Bulletin will say tomorrow:
Larger supplies or lower prices for

l$NEW BANKING SYSTEM
W:!l be in Operation as Soon as Dis
tricts are Organized

Washington. April 6.-Every effort
will be exerted by the federal reserve
bank organization committee to have
all banks expedite the formal steps
necessary to put the new currency
system in operation.
Members of the committee appar-
entity have no expectation that there
will be any financial crisis to face, re-
q,,iring the assistance to banks which
they are anxious to have the IL re-
but they are anxious to have the II re-
serve banks in the field by crop NOV
ing time next fall. They hope to be
able to demonstrate how easily and
quickly the reserve system will take
care of a situation which in previous
years has caused financial worry, and
which last fall led to direct loans from
banks in the farming regions.
The committee has worked at full
speed on it's part of the preliminary
work, and tomorrow the formal notice
will be sent to the 7,54S banks which
ask entrance into the system of the
location of reserve banks and limits
of reserve districts. With the notices
will go blanks on which banks must
apply for subscriptions for stock in
their respective banks. Thirty days
are allowed for banks to make the
first payment of the required six per
cent of their capital and surplus.
AS soon as banks in any one district
have subscribed the $4,000,000 capital
necessary for reserve bank, the sue.
ceeding steps of organization will be
promptly taken. The reserve bank
will be given charter, and the men,
ber banks will exercise their right to
elect six of the nine directors of each
reserve bank.
