BAL T|MORE PROTEST TO
COME UP ON WEDNESDAY
Federal Reserve Board Will Herr
Arguments Against Placing OF
Local Bank.
WILL REPRESENT RICHMOND
Leigh r. Page and Eppa Hunton, Jr.,
to Present City's Answer to Bal
timore's Brief-Local Bankers
Certain Richmond Will BE Upheld.

While the whole proceedings are
looked upon in Richmond as more or
less perfunctory, local banking inter
ests will have two representatives APP
pear before the Federal Reserve Boa rd
IN Washington on Wednesday, morning
10 answer the protest made by Balti-
more In regard to the selection Of this
city as the seat of the Fifth District
Federal Reserve Bank. Leigh r. Page
and Eppa Hunton. Jr.. have been re-
tanned TO answer the protest.
The Baltimore protest was fled
shortly after the selection of this city
last April. At the same time several
other dissatisfied cities. among them
Pittsburgh. took the same action. and
the board will hear these protests this
month That OF Baltimore will come
first, and hearings will he held each
Wednesday during the rest of the
month.
1t is not believed here that the board
Viii take any action on the protest
The fact that Secretary McAdoo in his
annual report used the arguments en-
bodied in the brief submitted by the
Richmond bankers before the selection
was made, as the reason for making
the selection, is taken as an Indication
OF the soundness Of this city's position
The Baltimore brief. which was CON
considered as strong as Richmonds
and the business done by the bank
since its establishment is taken as the
strongest argument that could be adj
Nanced for its retention.
TWO SMALL COUNTIES
ALONE ASK TRANSFER
Another thing which will be Of
strong weight is the fact that only
one locality in the district has asked
Tor any change. Two small counties
bordering upon the panhandle" dis
trlct OF West Virginia have asked for

FOR HOMESTEAD ENTRY
U. s. OPENS 225,ooo ACRES OF
LAND IN COLORADO.
Designated as Being Under the 800.
Acre Homestead Law by Secretary
OF the Interior Lane.

Western Newspaper Union Naws Service.
Denver-Two hundred and twenty
five thousand acres of government
lapd In Colorado were designated as
being under the 320-acre homestead
law by Secretary Lane of the interior
during the month OF November.
The enlarged homestead act pro-
vides that $50 acres may be taken up
where heretofore only 100 acres could
be entered. the lands having been
classified as non-irrigable.
The secretary has included 100000
acres In this class in the states of
Colorado. Idaho, Montana. Oregon and
North Dakota. Colorado's lands Of
this class, as designated. lie as fol-
lows:
In Larimer county. $4,000 acres: (:
Mesa, 2S.5O0; Rio Blanco, 25,600; Car
field, $4,000; Routt, $4,000: Park. 49,.
900: Fremont. 10000: Boulder, 1900:
Pueblo, 5000 Prowers. 1900, and
Grand, 1900. %
1t is pointed out that this large
acreage of land is not all open to set
tlement. Such designations are blan.
ket In character, and necessarily cover
many 16O-acre patented homesteads as
well as preferential rights for addi-
tional 1GO-acre homesteads.
In other cases the land already is
filed on by settlers for the entire 800
acres. SO that the designation merely
permits the entryman to perfect his
title for double homestead.
Some of the designations contain
considerable public land open to entry
In full 320-acre tracts.
The Denver general land office will
inform applicants Of tho land avail.
able for settlement
While Colorado gets 225,000 acres
under this new designation. Idaho has
10000 acres. Montana i75,000 and
Oregon 1900.
In North Dakota about 100000 acres
were designated under the act.

Gen. Obregon dated at Guaymas, on
the western coast, quoting telegram
from prominent Villa general in full
and stating that the Villa general had
secured from villa promise to retire
and asking a conference with Obregon
upon the fate of the villa organiza-
tion's personnel.
In reply Gen. Obregon said he had
stated to the villa general that Villa
was without the law, and whether he
retired was a matter of no moment,
that he. would be shown no considera.
tion, and would be hung as bandit
II caught. The officers. he said, would

Previous to renouncing his com.
mand Gen. Villa listened to his wife
and was united to her in civil mar
riage. They had been married by a
church ceremony several years ago
at San Andreas, Chihuahua, but the
civil marriage &ss required by Mex
lean law to make the tie legal.
A conference of United States mill
tary officials, state and city officials
and officials of the Carranza and Villa
governments was held here secretly
Sunday. al which IL was proposed by
the Villa delegation that Gen. Fran,
cisco Villa, commanderin.chief OF the
Villa forces, and his brother, Hipo
Ito Villa, financial agent of the Villa
government. be permitted to cross the
border embarrassed by legal, criminal
or civil actions of any of the elements
represented at the conference.
In return for the immunity, of the
Villa brothers the delegation promised
that a new chief should be selected &c
head the Villa movement and pledged
the leader, when selected. and as vel
unnamed but believed to be Governor
Avila. that he would, IL full guaran
tees were offered, turn over the entire
military and civil organization of Villa
controlled territory to the Carranzu
government.
Should the guarantees not cover all
persons affiliated with the Villa move
ment, the pledge would be withdrawn
and the fight against the de facto gov
ernment of Carranza continued.
