About three months ago the Rev. Canon
Watson favoured us with Il letter concerning
the condition of the cemetery IN our town.
This was published IN the "BulletIn' and
was shortly followed by another letter sign
ed by H. Boio and jobs. Larsen. These
two letters were published IN the "Ayis" Of
the 22nd of October last year. In both OF
them the condition of the cemetery was
described as such rs required radical reform-
We had hoped that these letters would have
called attention to the facts sufficiently to Sc
cure that the reform in question would be
made, but, so far as we can learn nothing
whatever has been done. 1t is still true
that the sidepaths are overgrown with
'egrass, - not guinea grass, but weeds and
bushes. In the second letter it is remarked,
eve are well aware, that the Cemetery
Commission alone is not able to put our ce-
metery in q decent condition, but it can do
its share"
In thinking over this matter we have won
dered what the Commission could do as ''its
share and a few days ago we applied to its
chairman, Mr.. Robert Armstrong, for some
information as to the means placed at
the disposal of the Commission for the
purpose in question. Mr.. Armstrong very
kindly answered our enquiries, and we
learned from him that there was no official
on whom the responsibility rested and no
work people at disposal for carrying out the
work. The only thing that the Com
mission could do was to apply to the
Policemaster for prisoners to do the peces-
sary wedding, and these were furnished
when any could be spared for the purpose.
We now know that this sparing has not
been possible during the three months
that have expired since the letters in
question were written nor during the
many months which probably passed
while the cemetery was beng over
grown with weeds and bush. Ought VIZ to
be sorry that our island does not raise
enough criminals to keep the public places,

Administration Has Decid- ed That Amendments to Canal Tolls Repeal Bill Tend to Cloud the Main Issue
PRESIDENT DENIES
 ANY ULTIMATUM
To Whip Lukewarm into Line-Both Sides Claim Victory Great Interest in the Fight - Ashurst Against Repeal
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcH1

WASHINGTON, April 3.-"No com promise" is the slogan of the admins tration leaders following many infor- nal conference on the Panama tolls exemption bill now before the senate inter-oceanic canals committee So many bills and resolutions were intro- duced tending to cloud the main issue that it was determined to make plain at the outset that no temporizing will be countenanced. The president said he expected no factional delay, or flli- clustering. He denied that he sent an ultimatum to the senate with a view to forcing early action.
 The president said he believed there will be a prompt report for there are but one or two members against the repeal, but. he understood, they will vote to bring the question before the senate promptly He said no proposal for a change or compromise was brought to him and significantly sug- gested the amendments were not being offered by administration leaders.
 
 bill will pass the senate. The friends of the repeal bill assert the support of the presidents policy, is increasing rather than decreasing. One republi- can senator is said to have made a canvass of the senate which showed a clear majority for the bill Under wood, however. said that number of the republicans have decided to line up against the repeal Bryan discussed the tolls with Senator Ashurst who said the talk had not charged his views against the repeal
 Chairman O'Gorman issued the for maj call today for the canals commit tee to meet next Tuesday morning.
 Secretary Bryan discussed the issue with several senators while at the capi- tol. among them Senator Ashurst of Arizona, one of the democrats openly opposed to the repeal, Senator Ashurst said after his talk with the secretary, that he had not changed his views. Bryan also discussed the situation with Senator Overman of North Caro- lima, who is in favor of the toll ex- emption repeal.
 Representative Moss of West Vir- ginia, a republican, who voted against the Sims bill, today introduced a reso- lution to declare that it is the sense of the house that the repeal of the clause granting exemption coastwise shipping, in furtherance of the desire of the United States and Great Britain, and in no sense to be construed as Waivine Or denying any right possessed by the United States to grant exemption on free tolls to her vessels of war and commerce.

RESERVE BANKS IN TEN CITIES
 0F THE COUNTRY.
Organization Comm e Announces Result of It's Work, Dividing Arizona Between Dallas and the Coast
IAssoCIAryD PRESS DIspArcH1


 WASHINGTON, April ? After three months consideration. the re- serve bank organization committee an nounced it has divided the continental United States into twelve banking dis tricts and selected twelve cities where the reserve banks will be located un- der the new currency law. The cities selected are Boston, New York. Phila- delphia, Cleveland, Richmond, Atlanta, Chicago, St Louis, Minneapolis. Kan sas City, Dallas and San Francisco.
 The Dallas bank territory includes Pima, Graham, Greenlee Cochise and Santa Cruz counties in Arizona The remainder of Arizona will be in the San Francisco district.
 This is the first decisive step to- ward the establishment of the new system. The organization committee was not authorized to provide for branch banks. but the act states that such banks may be established. This will be left to the supervision of a federal reserve board yet to be ap- pointed by the president.
 The organization committee called attention to the fact that under the requirements of the act it could find no grounds for the establishment of more than one bank on the Pacific coast Ii held out the hope that in the near future another bank would be authorized by congress, to be To- cated somewhere in this great sec ton.
 The next step to be taken by the organization committee, will be the mo- tification of banks entering the system of the plans for the districts. Within thirty days after such notice is re- ceived bv the banks, each must, under the law. begin the payment of its stock in the reserve bank in it's district Each bank must subscribe six per cent of it's combined capital and surplus and the capitalization announced fol each district based upon this six pei cent subscription.
 The payment of subscriptions o1 banks will be spread over many months but in the meantime President Wilson is expected to announce the five mem- bers of the federal reserve board. The president said today that owing to the fact that the process of organization will take some time no immediate an nouncement will be made.

Rebels Secure Full Poses sion of Beleaguered City at 1920 O'Clock Last Night After Several Days of Fighting VILLA TAKES
 MANY PRISONERS News is Received in Juarez by Carranza Before Villa Allows His Own Troops to Sound Paeans of Vic tory
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcHl


 JUAREZ, April 2.-Tor- reon fell completely into the hands of the rebels at 1920 o'clock tonight, according to an announcement made by General Carranza. The news was first announced to the world when the bugler in front of Carran- za's residence blew the stac. cato notes of victory.
 The paean, Carfanza said, was sounded here even be- fore it was heard in Tor reon, Villa delaying out of compliment to his chief. Meager bulletins, excitedly announcing victory after the bloodiest series of bat ties known ill modern Mex ico, said that Villa had cap tured a large number of prisoners, and that the flee ing remnant was being pur- sued.
 Whether Velasco, tn e federal commander, !, was captured, is not stated.
 There was heavy fight ing today, it was said, and the end came when, after capturing the three remain ing barracks held in the city by the federals, the rebels stormed the trenches and barbed wire entangle- ments of Canyon del Gua- rache.
 The prisoners captured are believed to have been defenders of the barracks, while the troops in the can yon, which forms an egress from the hill-girt city, were able to escape.

IAssocIArEp PRESS p1spArcH1

NEW YORK, April 2.-From sourc- es closely identified with the princi- pals, it was learned that all negotia- tions for the acquisition of the stock control of the Missouri Pacific, other Gould railroad holdings by the Rock efeller interests have been abandoned temporarily, at least The disruption of these plans seems to have been caused by the refusal of the Goulds to sell sufficient shares of the Mis- souri Pacific, Denver and Rio Grande. and the Western Pacific to give the oil magnates a dominant interest in those lines. A representative of the Goulds is authority for the statement that the deal might have been con- summated, but for a leak by which outsiders, presumably speculators, availed themselves of the opportunity to take the market away from the contracting parties to their own pe- cuniary advantage.

The wounded stated the first rebel ad- vance on Torreon and Gomez Palacio, resulted in the pitiable slaughter of two thousand rebels within few hours partly through series of blunders.
 The first rebels are reported to have blundered in opening fire on their own men. Two accounts are given of this mistake. One was that a column of rebel artillery trained over their mark, pouring their shells into the ranks of General Benavide's forces on the oppo- site side of Gomez Palacio and another account was that body of rebels ent- cred Gomez Palacio without orders. The rest of the army, thinking them federals, opened fire, killing many. A quantity of hand bombs made of two inch pipe were provided with such poor fuses the federals were able to extin- guish them with water those they did not throw back at the rebels.
