VILLA CARRANzA
SPLIT DISCUSSED
ENHANCEMENT OF TWO LEAD.
Frs is REoPENED BY AGENT
PESQUElRA.
ut Is USELESS TO DENY"
Villas Statement That he Did Not
Cause Arrests, Was Not Believed
BY Any.

Ell Paso, Texas.-Discussion of the
C~arranZa-Villa estrangment was re-
opened by Roberto Pesqueira conf
dental agent for the Constitutional
lists here. He gave out the text of a
telegram in a series of communica-
tions with General Villa, in which he
criticised the Northern military zone
commander for denying the arrests by
his troops of National Constitution
alist officials at Juare2 and the confs-
cation Of National treasury funds
there.
Pesqueira told General Villa that he
considered it useless to deny "the
actual facts SO we'll known here at
the border" General Villas answer
to this telegram, sent June 20, has
not yet arrived. Pesqueira also is
sued a statement asserting Villa was
surrounded by certain persons, some
of whom were the direct cause of the
disasters that befell the administra-
tion Of President Madero."
Pesqueira's telegram to Villa fol-
lows:
"Your telegram confirms my belief
in your loyalty and patriotism. The
incidents that have caused comment
in the press have been the violent
arrests CT employees Of the gobernation
and the treasury departments and the
fact that military authorities Of
Juarez have taken possession of the
funds that rightfully belong to the
general treasury, SO that it is hard to
convince rightful thinking people Of
the consistency Of your declaration,
so inconsistent with the actual facts
as known here at the border. I verify
believe that If you liberate the en-
ployes row held and If the funds Of
the treasury are returned the excite
ment and doubt that low prevails
will disappear"
"Und oubtedly due to the many pre-
occupations of General Villa incident
to his victorious Zacaecas campaign
he has not had time to answer this
telegram" Mr.. Pesqueira said. "But
1 have positive information that he
already has given orders that all
Constitutionalist employees carried to
Chihuahua as prisoners will be al
lowed Immediately to return to exer-
else their respective functions at
Juarez and also that he has ordered
that all funds and valuables which
rightfully Belong to the National Con-
s%tituticnalist treasury be returned at
once. -.

Defer Reserve Bank Opening.

Washington.-Although August 1 Is
the date originally set by treasury de-
partment officials for organization OF
the Federal reserve banks, it now
seems likely that the organization will
be not earlier than September 1. The
senate's delay in the confirmation OF
members Of the Federal reserve board
and delay in the choice Of directors for
the reserve banks will defeat the plan
to open on August /. The organiza-
ton committee now is busily engag-
ed compiling lists of nominations for
directorships in the II reserve banks.
