FL PASO, Dec. %. - RumOrs as to the whereabouts of General Villa con tinue to be numerous, but nothing definite has been learned as to the course taken by the Mexican leader when he left Chihuahua. That he is travelling towards the American bor- der seems certain, as he received a messenger from General Funston, stating that he would be treated as political refugee, and his brother has already transferred his household goods from Jaurez to this city. Villa is escorted by a body of about thou sand picked troops, the flower of his command. representing the loyal ad- herents who have stood by him from the first, and have been his mainstay in the numerous battles fought in the past few years. The Villa government in the northern states is everywhere being taken over by Carranza.

P|TTSBURG BANK FORGED CLOSE
 ITS DOORS

PITTSBURG, Dec. 22. - The big gest failure in banking circles in the United States which has occurred for many years happened in this city to day, when the Pittsburg Bank for Savings was closed by order of the Pennsylvania State Banking Depart ment.
 The bank was capitalized for six hundred thousand dollars, and did an immense business through the mails. the leading magazines of the country carrying it's advertisements soliciting deposits. The trade magazines were also largely patronized by the bank in seeking depositors, while thousands of school children in this city and the surrounding country had accounts in the bank. The total amount deposited by the schood children since last Sep tember in this section alone was fOrty-one thousand dollars.
 The total deposits in the bank were nearly twelve million, and thirty thousand of the depositors lived out side of Pittsburg, having responded in answer to the banks mail order campaign. The reason given for the failure of the bank is the heavy de- preciation in the value of it's securi- ties.
