TORREON SAID TO BE
IN REBEL HANDS
Huerta Government Alarmed Over the
Rumor of Victory by the
Observation-Disclosures.

Mexico City, Jan. l6.-The report that
| Torreon had fallen to the victorious
/ rebel army of General Villa was re-
ceived with CONSERVATION in Mexico City
yesterday. There appeared to be good
grounds for believing the report true,
although government officials protested
to be unable to confirm the news. Ac-
cording to the report 1000 rebel troops
attacked the city Wednesday and the
federals, after short fight, evacuated
the city. The capture of Torreon, if
true, puts Villa in position for rapid
advance on Mexico City. He would be
able to concentrate his forces at Torreon
and sweep everything before him to the
capital.
The report that there had been fight
ing around Torreon was partly confirmed
Wednesday night. 1t was said that the
advance guard of Villas army, which
left 0iinaga Monday after the dispersal
of the federal forces there, had made
several desperate attacks. 1t was not
until the rebel forces were increased
to 1000 men, however, that it was strong
enough to battle with the federals.
The federal commander, according to
the report, then tried to evacuate the
city and take his force to Durango, but
this move was opposed by the rebels,
and at one time Wednesday it was re-
ported that Villas troops had hemmed
in the federal forces outside Torreon.
Later reports, however, were to the eff
feet that the federals had succeeded in
fighting their way through and were now
on their way to Durango.
Fighting near the capital has kept the
federal authorities busy for the past few
days. The bands of rebels have grown
holder since word OF the successes of the
constitutionalist troops have reached
them. A band of 100 rebels Wednes
day captured a pay train with 100000
pesos at Oriental, between the capital
and Vera Cruz. A force of % rurals
surrendered after a brief fight. A fed
eral force was sent in pursuit of the
rebels.
Fighting has been reported around
Tuxtia, the center of the vealthiest to-
bacco district of Mexico, situated chiefly
in the state of Vera Cruz. There was
also fighting around San Luis Potosi
Wednesday.
The federal authorities are using every
effort to protect shipment of cotton
from the Torreon region. Many millions
are involved in the shipments, and the
activities of the rebel bands have caused
much anxiety among the authorities.
The federals are making desperate eff
forts to repair the railroad lines so
that the cotton can be shipped through
without any delay. Two strong fed
eral columns were sent out to guard
the shipments.
There was some mystery yesterday
over the imprisonment of so federal Off
GERS who were brought to the capital
and lodged in a military prison. 1t was
said that the men were brought here
from Guaymas, where the federal gar
rison was reported to have gone over to
the rebels.
The government has announced that
the bank holiday for all financial insti-
tutions in the republic had been extend
ed until March 81.

MCLEAN TO TELL
WHERE FUND WENT
District Attorney Whitman to Push the
Campaign Graft Inquiry to
the Limit.

New York, Jan. l8.-Having disposed
of the cases against Arthur A. Mclean,
treasurer of the state Democratic com
mittee, who pleaded guilty Tuesday to
having accepted campaign contributions
from corporations, District Attorney
Whitman is now free to use Mclean in
the further prosecutions growing out of
the investigation into political graft he
has been making through John Doe pro-
ceedings, and the special grand jury.
Mclean is expected to play an inn
portant part in phase of the inquiry
that has not yet been touched upon
where the money went. Thus far the
efforts of the district attorney have been
directed to digging up suppressed facts
regarding contributions, and he has
shown that the contributions not re-
ported are about three times as great
as those reported to the secretary OF
state.
Mr.. Whitman intends to take up the
manner in which the money was spent
wherever ''-~~ is reason to believe that
expenditures were illegal. And he is
curious to learn what became of the
great difference between the sums con-
tributed and the sums acknowledged Off
cially. If any of these contributions
We're pocketed by collectors or by others
"higher up" the charge of grand lar
ceny would lie and criminal proceedings
would follow.
1t is estimated that between $1,000
900 and S2,400000 was collected for the
Democratic state committee in the cam
paigns of 1911 and 1912. Not more than
% per cent. of the larger sum was re-
ported.
What became of the balance is a
question that should be answered, the
district attorney thinks If he can get
this answer in detail it is believed a
long step will have been taken toward
breaking up what is now prolific source
of graft-the handling of the campaign
dough"
Mclean was intrusted with the bulk
of the money collected. He kept it in
several New York banks, among them
the Fourth National Money was
checked out on his signature, but many
of the checks were not signed personally
by Mclean, rubber stamp being used
when b" was not at hand. However,
it is thought that Mclean can--and
will-throw much light upon the sys-
tem-which is likewise employed b. the
Republicans.
