Washington. April 5.-Deeisions in
 several important cases may be an- nouneed tomorrow when the supreme
 court reeonvenes after a two weeks
 recess.
 One of the first questions the court
 Is to pass on is request for consider ation for an Oklahoma bank law case, which has attracted widespread atten- ton. The Oklahoma state banking
 board refused to pay certain depos- i, 1tors in dcfunct state banks for req sons varying. with each case The de- the assets of the bank over to the
 state board. rushed into court for or
 ders to compel the board to psr' them or issue certificates of indebtedness | against the guaranty fund. Eleven suits were brought. Two have been appealed to the supreme court In each case the state banking board set mp the de- fense that the suit was against the state and therefore the court was without jurisdiction to hear it. The federal district court in western Okla homa held that 1t was not a suit against the state, while the court in the eastern district held the reverse. Attorney General West of Oklahoma l has informed the court that the litiga- tion has impaired seriously the eff cieney of the administration of the guaranty fund. not only by reason of the great expense of defending the | case. but also the loss of public con- l fidence in the effectiveness of the guaranty fund. This was the first lit l ieation over the fund to reach the su- preme court since 1t upheld the va
 lidity of the guaranty fund flaw it. self

 So convincing has been the manner in whic hthe local newspapers have CO., operated with the government in conceal ing the news of the fall of Torreon, that not only are thousands of citizens in absolute ignorance of the report forward ed by Consul Carothers and that sent by the correspondents at Torreon, but even business men, ordinarily Well informed are befuddled by private advices, con- tradicting the governments statement The governments denial is based on re- ports from General Javier de Moure at San Pedro near Torreon. and it is argued that General de Moure must know the state of affairs at Torreon. Even gov ernment officials holding minor posts ap- pear wholly sincere in their acceptance of the governments denial. It was re- ported today on good authority that an order is about to be issued for the arrest of all persons found guilty of disseminaS- ing alarming news regarding Torrcon.

Acted Independently

Juarez, April 5.--In ordering the expulu- sion of Spaniards from Torreon, General Villa acted Independently of General Car ranza, supreme chief of the revolution, who today said he knew nothing about the order except what he had read ia newspaper dispatches.
 Neither Carranza nor members of his staff would discuss the story, although II is said that some of them, talking pri- vately, have expressed the fear that Villas action may develop grave inter- national complications.
 General Carranza had long interview today with two of his generals, who are said to have been doing work of the utmost value for many months and whose activities indirectly did much to assist iH the capture of Torreon. His visitors were Gen. Eulalio Gutierrez and Gen. Panfilo Natera. Their stories are much alike-of taking towns and abandoning them after obtaining supplies and ceaselessly tear ing up railroad tracks and dynamiting troop trains.
 Work on the hospital at the race track was abandoned today when message was received saying quarters for all the wounded had been found at Chihuahua Supplies accumulated at the track will be sent to Chihuahua.

refuge in a large bank building. On en- tering the city Villa told them to keen off the streets, an order which they obeyed, it was said, in fear and trem- bling. Today he visited them and in- forming them of the adverse sentiment in his army, ordered them to be ready to leave tomorrow.
 It IS great hardship, 1t is declared Tor most of the Spaniards have their homes and business in the city: many of them were born here and consider them- serves Mexicans. In Fl Paso, however. they will find many of their countrymen who were expelled from Chihuahua and who, 1t is said, have hoped against hope that Villa would be defeated at Torreon. and that in the end Huerta would triumph ana restore them to their homes Only Spaniards Affected
 only Spanards are affected by the or der. All other foreigners are free to go and come as they please, and General Villa says he is anxious that they shall resume their wonted occupations. Today J. M. Ulmer, with the consent of General Villa and in his capacity as acting Amer lean consular agent, posted notices on all American property declaring that It must be held inviolate under penalty,
 It was hard to realize today that this wy Siii' tht tc ddSS dEO was the scene Of great battle with requiem of shot and shell sounding over the heaps of dead in the streets and houses. Great pyres had incinerated the bodies and the wounded had been removed to temporary hospitals.
 The most poignant reminder of the bat tie was in the arrival of wounded soldiers being brought in from field hospitals, where they fell in the preliminary battles Saarnnlanfn towns through which Villa cut his way to victory.
 The retreat of General Velasco, the fed eral commander. from this city. recalls that of General Mercad from Chihuah hna. When the latter fled to Ojinaga on the approach of General Villa, the rich fami- lies and their retainers, who were said to be plainly identified as Huerta's friends, fled with him, taking with them such valuable as they could carry. A similar train followed Velasco. At Gomez Palacio and Laredo conditions were the same-the cientificos had fled into the desert there, with their women and chil- dren, to face the hardships of thirst. hunger and exposure until a kindlier sec tion of the country is reached in the -ci- rection of Monterey. velasco cut the wires behind him and it could not be learned here whether General Herrera had succeeded in checking the retreat or not.
 Wreckage Being Removed
