El Paso, Texas, June 17.—General Villa, through his agents here,
issued today a general denial that there had been any split between
himself and General Carranza. He said that the arrest of the Car-
ranza officials at Juarez had been the result of a misinterpretation
of orders on the part of Colonel Tomas Ornelas, in charge of the
Juarez garrison.
It was learned, however, that between twenty and thirty em-
ployes of the Juarez offices were sent on a special train early today to
Chihuahua City, the state capital, thence to be transported to
Torreon, where Villa remained. These men, employes of the cus-
toms house, telegraph office, treasury department and information
bureau, were arrested late yesterday by Colonel Ornelas in a raid on
the various national offices, where Carranza appointees were em-
ployed.
The whereabouts of H. Perez Abreu was the matter of most
speculation. He had been selected by Rafael Zubaran, Carranza’s
agent at Washington, as publicity agent of the revolution, whose
function it was to issue official bulletins to the press.' Abreu dis-
appeared when his office was taken over by the Villa soldiers. He
had just issued an announcement that he was transcribing the Natera
attack on Zacatecas in which Natera had been defeated, advices which,
have been confirmed by reports from the revolutionist front below
Torreon.
Constitutionalist agents here today were busy attempting to find
explanation from the south of the sudden turn of affairs at Juarez,
but owing to the rigid censorship on telegrams from Villa’s head-
quarters at Torreon, no messages were permitted other than those
denying in a general way that the constitutionalist commander-in-
chief and Villa, his northern chieftain, had reached a point of divorce
on account of the appointment of Natera as chief of the new central
zone, and other incidents which the Villa elements have been re-
ported as resenting.
Partisans of Carranza and Villa at El Paso discussed hotly the
future of the constitutionalist movement. The question of the
Niagara Falls mediation conference played an important part in the
argument, especially as regards the naming of a provisional president.
Some Villa supporters even declared that General Felipe Angeles,
secretary of war in General Carranza’s cabinet, had been selected by
Villa for provisional president in place of Carranza, as some partisan
publications had suggested. Angeles, a former federal general, has
been commanding Villa’s artillery since the battle of Torreon, and
yesterday departed for the front above Zacatecas, according to official
notice here.
Justice Lamar and Frederick W. Leh-
mann telegraphed early today a 2,000-
word report of their conference yes-
terday at Buffalo with Rafael Zubaran
and Luis Cabrera, authorized represen-
tatives of Gen. Carranza in the United
States. A general feeling here that the
United States possibly may inaugurate
a distinct change of policy has been
produced by the uncompromising atti-
tude of Messrs. Zubaran and Cabrera,
dispatches telling of friction between
Gens. Carranza and Villa, reports of a
rupture in Sonora between Gov. May-
torena and Gen. Obregon and news of
constitutionalist reverses both on land
and sea.
While mediation thus far has accom-
plished little, no agreement on person-
nel for a new provisional government
having been reached, the Huerta dele-
gates showed great anxiety today to

Both vessels were designated as com-
bination gunboats and transports and
were able to carry about 500 men in
the case of the Guerrero and 250 on

It is believed by staff officers here

577 of the 5,520 school children ex-
amined were infected, or a little over
ten per cent. Dr. Boerner said that
interest in the hookworm campaigns
now being conducted is on the
crease.
In the opinion of the leaders here,
villa will take supreme command in
the north of Mexico, as he previously
had insisted, and Carranza will com-
pose the other differences.

der the federal reserve bank act, each
of the twelve federal reserve banks will
.receive advances from the federal re-
serve board in the form of federal re-
serve notes, a distinctly new sort of
paper money. Commercial paper will
be the collateral advanced by the var-
ious banks as security for these notes.
Comptroller of the Currency Willi-
ams has samples of this new paper
money now under consideration. At his
request Joseph E. Ralph, director of
the bureau of engraving and printing,
prepared notes of $5, $10, $20, $50 and
$100 denominations and these have been
submitted to Secretary McAdoo. It is
, not likely, however, that the samples
h will be officially accepted until the
" members of the federal reserve board
have been confirmed by the senate
and can confer with Secretary McAdoo
f and Comptroller Williams concerning
s the new notes.
L The $5 note submitted by Mr. Ralph
F is typical of agriculture. The portrait
% on the face of the note is Lincoln’s
I and the back shows a harvesting ma-
" chine and allegorical figures typical of
farming. The $10 note bears a por-
trait of Cleveland and a manufacturing
scene. The $20 bears Jackson’s por-
trait and is typical of commerce, hav-
• ins a steamship, train and other med-
iums of trade on the back. Grant’s
picture is shown on the $50 and Frank-
lin’s portrait adorns the $100 bill. Both
of these larger bills are typical of the
arts. All the bills will be printed in
green ink on the back, while black ink
will be used on the faces.
For some time the treasury depart-
ment has been anxious to make paper
money more uniform. At present dif-
ferent oprtraits appear on different
sorts of paper money of the same de-
nominations. It is likely that the por-
traits selected for use on the federal
reserve notes also will be used on other
paper money. So in the future all bank
notes, gold certificates, silver certifi-
cates and federal reserve notes of $5
denomination will probably bear Lin-
coln’s portrait and so on through the
series up to $100.
At present no official of the treas-
ury department is able to make an es-
timate of the amount of federal reserve
notes which probably will be put into
circulation this year. Federal reserve
banks are required under the new law
to keep gold reserves of not less than
40 per cent against federal reserve
notes in actual circulation. The amount
of these notes required by the federal

Portland, Ore., June 17.—Roy Don-

and aide of the balloon Springfield,
are safe. The men, for whom rangers
and searching parties have been comb-

The Springfield was forced to de-

Niagara Falls, June 17.—On word

The battle began at 8:20 a. m. and
lasted until noon.
The rebels lost ten killed and
ten wounded; the federals none,
in despair at the outcome, Captain
Malpico and his chief engineer,
after fighting with great bravery
against heavy odds, committed
suicide.
The Tampico, which was on the way
from Topolobampo to Mazatlan, was in
no condition to fight when the more
heavily armed Guerrero, bound south
from Guaymas in chase, overhauled
her. z
Capt. Malpico appealed to the Ameri-
can destroyers Perry and Preble, which
were following the Mexican vessels,
for a tow to Altata, where the Tampico
hoped to take refuge in shallow
waters. The laws of neutrality pre-
vented the American commander from
complying, but the Perry and Preble
and the cruiser New Orleans, which
was accompanying them, were able to
save many from drowning when the
Tampico sank and to give surgical aid
to . the wounded.
After her victory the Guerrero headed
south for Mazatlan, where she will be
of great service to the beleaguered
federal garrison in preventing the army
under Gen. Obregon occupying com-
manding positions.

state director of the Texas hookworm
commission, that a campaign against
the hookworm has just been completed
in Wharton, Freestone, Fort Bend,
Washington and Hunt counties which
consumed the past three months. In
these five counties there is a rural
population of 125,000; of this number
7.752 persons were examined and 688

Quebec, June 17.—The captain and

The engagement took place last night
off Topolobampo and word came to
the Navy Deupartment early today.
Some of the crew of the Tampico
were rescued by the New Orleans,
which had accompanied the Guerrero
southward yesterday. Others were res-
cued by the Guerrero.
This is the second time the consti-
tutionalist warship has suffered at the
hands of the federal navy. The Tam-
pico was sunk on June 11, and only
yesterday was repaired so that she
could move under steam.
The Guerrero is nearly twice the size
that much more would be given by the
Cotton Seed crushers before the year
is passed. Many of the oil men donated
as much at $200. Others came along
with $100 donations and still others
added contributions of $50 and $25.
This morning the association listened
to two very important addresses. One
of these was on the subject of the
“Value of the Association to the

the other was by C. M, Evans, super-
intendent of the extension work of the
Agricultural and Mechanical College of

vention on the value of Cotton Seed

organization should encourage the

ties.
This morning it was seen that Corpus
Christi was in the race for the next

in evidence. The majority of the dele-
gates wore them. Several telegrams
were read from the Commercial asso-
ciation and the mayor of the city of

dent announced that he had replied to
these telegrams by saying that the
matter would be determined by the in-

Had No Intention of Discriminating
Against Jews.
By Associate ! Press.
Washington, June 17.—One paragraph
in President Wilson’s address at the
dedciation of the American University
here May 27, and which caused some
discussion among Jews, brought an in-
quiry to Mr. Wilson from Herman
Bernstein, of Hollis, N. Y., and drew
from the president a disavowal of any
intention to discriminate against Ju-
• aism.
The incident is treated in correspon-
dence made public today.
“Scholarship,” said the president in
the address referred to, “has never, as
far as I can at this moment recall, been
associated with religion except the re-
ligion of Jesus Christ.”
Mr. Bernstein wrote the president
that "true scholarship has ever been
the very essence and foundation of Ju-
daism, ‘ and that it seemed to him
“unfair to exclude Judaism from the
religion with which scholarship has
been intimately associated.
The president’s reply was:
“I am sorry that there should have
been any unfair implication in what I
said at the opening of the American
University. You may be sure that there
was nothing of the kind in my mind,
or very certainly nothing in my
thoughts that would discriminate in the
important matter you speak of against
Judaism.
"I find that one of the risks and pen-
alties of extemporaneous speaking is
that you do not stop to consider the
whole field, but address yourself merely
to the matter directly in hand.
“With sincere respect and apprecia-
tion,

College Gives Degree After 29-Year
Controversy.
By Associated Press.
Champaign, Ill., June 17.—Suspended
twenty-nine years ago because he was
an agnostic and would not attend
chapel, Foster North of the class of
’85, received his degree of bachelor of
science from the University of Illinois
today.
President Edmund J. James of the
university, came upon the papers in
North’s old and forgotten case a short
time ago when he was engaged in
rounding up the old alumni for a
home-coming. He wrote North in Chi-
cago and urged him to viist the uni-
versity. North, embittered by a vain
fight that had taken his last dollar
years ago and had ended only in the
state court refusing to compel the
university to give him his degree, re-
plied curtly that all he wished the
university to do was to forget him.
President James wrote again that the
rule was obsolete now, and that he
wanted to give North ’85, his belated
degree. North came here today.
reserve banks will depend largely on
the amount of money required by mem-
ber banks for the rediscounting of com-
mercial paper.
Last year at harvest time Secretary
McAdoo permitted banks in the West
to borrow money on commercial paper
and about $37,000,000 was loaned. The
immediate demand for federal reserve
notes probably will be far in excess of
that sum, as the harvest loans were
limited to the farming sections, while
the entire United States will draw on
the federal reserve board for money to
rediscount agricultural. industrial and
commercial paper.

stopped. He blamed the current for
swinging the ship. It was the speed
of the Empress, he explained, which
caused the Storstad’s bow to sink
twelve feet into the side of the pas-
senger vessel.
Captain Anderson of the Storstad
agreed with his mate as to the speed
of the two vessels.
‘Captain Kendall says the Empress
was stopped; you say she was going
fast,” put in Lord Mersey. “Can you
explain that?”
“I can not,” replied Anderson.
“What do you think?”
“She must have gone full speed
astern and then full speed ahead to
cross our bow. We have discussed it,
but can not get any truth.”

Washington, June 17. — General
Villa’s action in resigning his com-
mission and imprisoning Carranza
leaders at Juarez last night is not in-
terpreted by constitutionalist leaders
here as meaning a permanent breach
between the two chiefs.
Carranzas representatives here ex-
plain that Villa had determined to rid
himself of politicians who were asso-
ciated with General Carranza, and who
had issued orders without authority
which embarrassed Villa’s movements.
Carranza is said to have felt that tha
trouble would adjust itself but Villa,
took the initiative.
WISH i WA5
A JUNE
BRIDE.
