SUBMITTED TO CAPTURE.
Villa Made No Resistance When Taken
in Barre To-day.

Somewhere north of chihuahua, the
Barre police captured Villa this after
noon. The efforts of Pershings column,
Scott and Funston to the contrary not
withstanding he submitted tamely TO ar
rest and of his own accord walked all the
way TO Magistrate H. w. Scott's court
at city hall. Pancho Villa is still at
large. but Charlie of the same surname
acknowledged a breach OF the peace Of
fense and paid a S. fine and costs.
Villas trouble started, not in Mexico,
but in Granite street last night. Rosa
Brusa was the complaining witness and
badly discolored eye was exhibited by
the complainant in vouchsafing her story
to Grand Juror William Wishart. The
latter told the court this afternoon OF his
investigation and alleged that the quar-
rel took place in house owned by the
respondent. Villa asked permission TO
give his own coloring to the fracas story
and pictured the woman as person who
combined with inebriacy the evil of Gig
arctic smoking. In extenuation, the re-
spondeut also gave other reasons for jus
tifvine his course in the quarrel. Judge
Scott took judicial notice OF evidence OF
fered in this manner by the prosecutor
and the respondent and after Villa had
paid his fine he was discharged from
custody. All is quiet now along the Rio
Grandc.

GLENUGIANS CELEBRATE.
With Feasting, Toasting, Singing and
Dancing Last Evening.

Feasting toasting, song and dancing
brought to its close another successful
year in the annals of the Glenugie club
last evening when some forty sons g.
Buchan, with their wives and other in
vited guests came together in Clan Cor
don hall for their yearly jollifieation.
Covers were laid for eighty people and
there were few absentees when the big
dinner of chicken was gotten under way
at . o'clock. The hall was attractively
decorated with colored festoons that
somehow seemed to center in front of
an arch which fronted the orchestra left.
An Illuminated disc over the arch let it
be known that the Glenuge and the
Glenugians only were holding forth,

toastmaster and among the representa-

that are part OF the heritage which

America were touchinely rendered by
Miss Barbara Mcdonald, Miss Agnes
Keith, Miss Elizabeth Stephen, George
Mcleod and George Sievright, None of
the soloists was allowed to retire with
out an encore and the demand for an
extension of remarks was just as pro-
nounced whenever anyone arose to re-
spond to toast. A distinctly enjoy
able feature was the reading of let
ter from George Booth, resident of
Buffalo, n. " who in other days was
one of the moving spirits of the Glenu-
gle club Mr. Booth toasted Buchan, the
land of his BIRTH and graciously offered
a tribute TO the women of Glenugie. The
toastmaster read the letter and its con-
tents were loudly acclaimed.
After the exercises, the hall was
cleared of tables and chairs and until
the wee, sma' hours were arriving, the
Buchan folk danced the old reels and
the familiar schottische. Mrs. John
Forbes had catered for the banquet and
an efficient corps of assistants saw to
it that there was an abundance of re-
freshments for those who danced.
There is little doubt that the Buch- |
aners were never any more pleased with
their annual get-togcther than last even

BANKING SUPREMACY.
Has Been Esta blished in United States,
Says Comptroller

Washington, ID. G., Dec. 2S-Resources
of national banks of the United States,
Comptroller Williams announced last
night, have increased more than $4,000.
100000 during the last two years and
now aggregate $l5520, 100000, exceeding
by about 81 OOO,0O00,000 the combined
total resources of the Bank of England,
the Bank of France, the Bank of Russia,
the German Reischstag, the Bank of
Italy, the Bank of Spain, the Bank of
the Netherlands, the Bank of Denmark,
the Swiss National bank, and the Imperi
al Bank of Japn.
In statement based on returns from
the last bank call, November IL, the

that the increase has been at the rate
of approximately is per cent year dur
ing the last two years as compared with
six per cent year for the ten-year peri
cd from 1904 to 1914, and that the to-
tai resources are at present more than
double what they were ten years ago.
"The compilation just completed of
returns for the last bank call" the comp
troller's statement reads, 'discloses con-
dition of strength, progress and growth
beyond all precedent. Resources of nation
al banks on the date of the last call are
greater than the total resources of all
reporting state banks, savings banks, pri-
vate banks and loan and trust companies
throughout the United States at the time
of the Inauguration of the federal re-
serve system about two years ago.
1T is also noteworthy that the re-
sources of our national banks at this
time exceed by 1921 100000 the total re-
sources of all the reporting banking in
stitutions in the United States, includ
ing state banks, savings banks and loan
and trust companies and national banks
as well, as late as the year 1904"
The greatest percentage of increase,
the comptroller states, during the two
year period in which the federal reserve
system has been in operation was in
the western states. Geographically, the
increase was as follows: New England.
% per cent: eastern states, 30 per cent;
southern states, b per cent; middle
western states, 81 per cent; western
states, 80 per cent; Pacific states, 80 per
cent.

creased a total OF s2O050o0OO coo, while |
