 In reference to the collection and clearing of checks, the Board reports:
 "It was the general opinion of the directors of the several Federal Re- serve Banks expressed at their con ference held just before the opening of these banks that transit and clear ing operations should be restricted to easily manageable proportions in the beginning Since the opening a few of the Reserve Banks, acting in accordance with authority granted them by the Board. have in greater or less degree widened the scope of their clearing activities At this time the whole matter is still to be regarded as in a condition of development, but with experimentation going on to ma terially assist the board in reaching sound conclusions"
 The Board points out that another pressing problem that of admission of state banks an dtrust companies to the system is receiving consideration and "that at least a tentative solution of the problems at issue may be ar rived at in the near future"
 The report shows that 93 banks and trust companies with aggregate capital and surplus of $9,151, ,3O6 have been converted into national banks and entered the system since the passage of the act Nine state banks and four trust companies with capital and sur plus of $17,884,O00 have been admitted under their own charters, with the understanding that they will accept ! regulations for the conduct of business made by the board Applications from 5l other such institutions which pre- fer to wait for the issuance Of reg ulations governing their admission are pending before the board.
 The report reviews the causes that led to formation of the S1O0,O00.OO0 gold pool, the S135,OO0.00O cotton doan fund, and to the issue of emergency currency by the Treasury and of clear inghouse certificates by associations ] in the larger cities.

DEATH PENALTY FOR COUNTERFETTERS IN
 MEXICO, SAYS VILLA

TT Paso, April General Villa has ordered that the death penalty be ap-, piled to those guilty of circulating counterfeit paper money, large quan- titles of which are reported in use along the Mexican border. In a state ment received here last night from Torreon, Villa said:
 sI am sorry to say that I have been forced to take this step because it has been impossible to cause punishments of the culprfts in the United States, notwithstanding the truthful evidence that I've have presented against the defendants in many cases and because the commentators are not prosecuted in any way, the consequence has been to increaes the issue of bogus money. 's
 The death penalty for circulating forged smoney has already been ap- piled frequently by Villas commands. A Mexican was executed recently in Juarez for attempting to sMuggle counterfeit money into Mexico and several Americans have been arrested but none executed as far as is known. l

 s M. Ragufet, Swoboda's business as- sociate, declared in an interview last night that he believed Swoboda was a Canadian as he had excellent ref erences from, Quebec where he said his family resided. Swoboda told Raguiet he had been brought up in Germany and made no attempt to hide his sympathy for that nation ac- cordfng to the interview.
 ''Swoboda's German sentiments came to be so pronounced about the middle of JuIy,'' said M. Raguiet, Hssthat I had to declare off my nego- tiatibns with him. After July Is Swoboda spoke of war being immi- nent between France and Germany. He said he had exceptional sources of information in Germany. He wrote me about this time that it was a shame to deal on the Bourse since there never would be a monthly set dement,
 The Figaro, prints the following statement in reference to Swoboda: During the first days of the war Swoboda came to the Figaro and of- fered himself as a war correspondent, in which position, he declared, his American citizenship would be ad- vantageous.
