VILLAS WIFE WANTS GENERAL ID RETIRE
EndeavOring to Persuade Husband to Abandon
 Revolution

El Paso, Tex, December 17.-Persons in the confidence of the family of Gen eral Francisco Villa said today they had learned that Mrs. Luz Carral De ValIa. 'Wlte of the Mecican rebel chieftain. was endeavoring to persuade her husband to abandon his revolutionary activities and retlre to private life. This was the only word reaching here regarding the Villa council of war, reported yesterday to be Tn session at Chihuahua City. Last nights advices said Villas adherents also were trying to persuade their leader to abandon his present course. There was no official confirmation of tonight's S reports, the proceedings of the conference being kept secret
 Representatives of the Madera com- pany, limited, announced tonight that they had been informed that all 30 of their American employees reached Chi nuaEua yesterday as prisoners of General Villa. Arrivals from Chihuahua City dast night had reported when they left the capital on Tuesday only three Madeira employees were held prisoner at Guerrero. near Madero., The representatives of the Pearson company have been given until tomorrow to meet Villa s demands for 5000 pesos
 This demand, according to Juarez of ficials. was based on a loan of 1,5oo, 900 pesos by Villa to the Pearson company when Villa paper currency was quoted at S0 cents. for the rebuilding of burned bridges. Villa demands the return of the loan in gold or silver at the original rate of exchange, although Villa paper currency is now worthless
