 IN SUBURBS OF TORREON

Eagle Pass, Texas March 27-Fol- lowing the repulse of Gen. Villa and his rebel army, fighting has been re- stunned near Torreon at Noe, few miles north of Gomez Pa1acio.
 This was the substance of a. brief dispatch to Federal headuuan-ters in Piedras Negras, said to have come directly from the battlefield, The message was sent by Gen Joaquin Mas.
 An earlier message which, it was explained, related to events of last night. said:
 Tour arms victorious at Gomez PaIacio. More than LOCO killed. wounded and prisoners. Cavalry pur- suing"
 Federal officials at PiedEas Negras interpreted the later message from Gen Maas as meaning that Villa had been driven from Gomez Palacia to- ward the north; but whether the en- gagement at Noe was final stand by the rebels in retreat, or a renewal of the Torreon attack. no one could say.
 The Federal dispatches reached Piedras Negras over the Governmen wire into Monterey.
 Gen. Maas was reported in a Med- co City dispatch to have gone from Monterey with TOO men in arnored automobiles to reinforce Velasco at Torreon.

 The en1blems were on sale in store formerly occupied as the Famous Shoe Store, at 1224 Main street. and now used as a novelty store. Mrs. Rector learned, three weeks ago, of the sale in the novelty store of the American flags bearing the words, Democratic National Convention, Ba1timore," and other matter.
 [, Mrs. Rector, whose organization is affiliated with the National Flag asso- cfation, paid personal visit to the store She was assured that the flags would not be sold.
 The merchants were warned that it was against the lawtto sell such em- blems, which inspired lack of respect in the minds of young children for the e1n nb1em of liberty. Those in charge of the store denied at first that they were being sold.
 It is alleged by members of the com Inittee that several sales were made to enissaries sent to purchase them, George Arnold of the local police force were brought to bear and the com mittee with the head of the local de- tective bureau yesterday visited the place.
 They there found a large quantity, said to approximate 1 1000 in stock!

MAY DEMAND PROBE
 OF FITCH HOME
Resolutions Likely to Be Tn troduced at Next Meeting
 of Elias Howe Post

Although no action was taken at the meeting of Elias Howe Post, No. 3, G. A. R.. last night, it is rumored that at the next meeting a resolution will be introduced requesting the dC- partment Scommanderzt to make an in- vestigation of Fftch's Soldiers Home at Noroton. A number of complaints have been made by Bridgeport veter-. ans and others of the amount of pen sion money which the directors have up each month after admission to the home.
 Recently as told in The Farmer one was told that he must pay SIS per diers' home. He refused to pay this money and was not admitted to the institution. There are about 800 sol- say the home receives $125, 900 each s10O per year per man from the federal government. They think these appro- priations should be sufficient to main tain the home without making the sol diers give up their pension money.
 There is also complaint from vet erans now seeking admission to the home that men have been inmates of the institution for 20 years or more and are still there who have never paid in any part of their pensions. One veteran said today that the resolution calling for an investigation of meth. ods at the home would be presented at the next meeting of the Bridge port post.

decisive battle with the Huerta gov ernment was uncertain in this town today Reports were as conflicting as the sources from which they emanate. From federal sources came word that Villa. had been beaten, from 4rebel sources came declaration of victory for the constituti onalist general.
 One brief message came from Villa himself. It was curt and contained nothing concerning the fortunes of his battle. It was a command for speedy shipment of the military monop1ane from Juarez and an order that all equipment for rebuilding railroad tracks be hurried south The fact that the message was sent from Gomez PaIacio gave rise to the beliefsfhat the rebel leader had captured that Suburb of Toreon.
 Track equipment demanded will be shipped from both Chihuahua City and Juarez. The order for the equip ment was thought by Chao to have meant that Villa met far more stub born resistance in his attack upon Torreon than he had expected and that he wished to have apparatus to repair his railway immediately at hand so that he might remain away from his base at Chihuahua for as long time as possible.
 Venustfano Carranza, first chief of the revolution, Is expected in Juarez tomorrow. Triumpha1 arches have been erected and stores and houses generally are decorated with flags and bunting.
