SELECTION OF BANK
CITIES STARTS
Omitted Rivals Will De
.... mand Change.
BATTLE IS ON IN EARNEST
Natural Trend of Trade Said
i to Have Been Ignored.
PROPRIETY IS QUESTIONED
Senator Notes That Two Members of
Committee Have Bank Each and
I Another Has Two Reserve
i 1 Banks in Own States.
WASHINGTON, April 3. There was
every Indication tonight that the an
nouncement of the reserve districts and
cities by the reserve bank organiza
tion committee had given the signal
lor a struggle on the part of several
cities, which were disappointed, to
overturn the committee's decision and
bring about a redisricting of the coun
try, or at least a change in the reserve
cities named.
Under the law the decision of the
organization committee is not subject
to review except by the Federal Re
serve Board. This board probably will
not be named by President Wilson for
several weeks, but it is believed those
disappointed with the committee's an
nouncement will bend every effort to-
ward paving the way for changes.
Criticism Heard In Concrru.
It was pointed out tonight that both
Secretary of the Treasury McAdos and
Controller of the Currency "Williams, of
the committee, are ex-officio members
of the reserve board and hardly could
be counted upon to reverse themselves.
The President has given no intimation
as to who the other five members will
be.
The committee's plan was criticised
In Congress- today and there were re
ports of keen disappointnienls' "from
several cities in the race for reserve
banks and which failed to procure
them. Three members of the Senate
banking and currency committee, two
Republicans and a Democrat, attacked
the plans. Senator Weeks, of Massa
chusetts, who opposed the law for
many months, but who finally voted
for it, pointed out that one bank was
located in Georgia, the home state of
Mr. McAdoo, one in Virginia, the home
state of . Mr. Williams, and two in
Missouri, the home state of Secretary
Houston, the third member of the com
mittee. He questioned the propriety of
these selections.
Trade Tides lanored.
Senator Burton disapproved the in
clusion of Pittsburg in the district of
which Cleveland is the reserve center,
and asserted that if" would be Impos
sible to make trade turn westward
.from Pittsburg to that city. Senator
Hitchcock pointed to the fact that
Omaha had been included in the Kan
sas City district instead of the Chi
cago district and said trade "did not
flow that way.
Defenders of the committee said
there was no justification for the
charge that it was Influenced by any
consideration other than the trend of
trade and the banking advantages of
cities chosen. In referring to the
choice of Richmond, it was said that
although comment was expected be
cause of the fact that the city is the
home of Mr. Williams, the committee
was ut.animous and Richmond would
have been named over Baltimore and
Washington if he had not been a mem
ber. Amendment of Act Suggested.
So far no definte plans for any fight
against the committee have beefl aired
here and there is practically no way
for such a fight to be undertaken ex
cept through the reserve board. It was
suggested tonight, however, that mem
bers of Congress might undertake to
provide banks for their districts by
having the number of authorized re
serve cities increased.
Senator Weeks, in the course of his
criticism today, declared the system
had been organized on a wrong basis
altogether. He said:
"The proper method by which to or
ganize this system was to appoint the
reserve board that was to manage this
system and let them organize it. Then
the orgnnization would have been as
far as possible removed from political
considerations. Now. having been or
ganized by an essentially political and
partisan board, it bears all the ear
marks of a result which might have
been anticipated from such procedure."
NIMRODS LANDED IN JAIL

only chance of recovery lay In having
a large area of skin grafted to her
body. Dr. Cunningham undertook the
operation, aided only by an assistant.
Unwilling to ask his friends to of
fer their skin, Dr. Cunningham de
cided to use, the cuticle from his own

of skin 10 Inches long by two Inches
wide from his left side and graft on
to the body of Mrs. Cunningham. The
operation, it is believed, was successful.

wagon, Frank Rasnic's dog was found
faithfully waiting for Rasnic to re
turn. Rasnic had drowned. His wagon
was found in Sixes River, at a. ford

From indications it is believed that
Mr. Rasnic had driven his team Into

new washout in the bed. where the an
imals foundered. Rasnic is believed to
have gotten Into the river to extricate
his horses and to nave become entan
gled with the harness. The discovery
of the horses was made last night and
Rasnic's body was found today. Ras
nic was a rancher.
VIEWS KEEP MAN OFF JURY
Cliicagoan Would Hang Woman but
Xot a Man, He Says Is Passed.
CHICAGO, April 3. John F. Schiff
mann, a lumber dealer escaped Jury
service today by expressing freely his
views of capital punishment.
"I am not opposed to the death
penalty," he said, while being examined
as a prospective Juror in a murder
trial, "but I would not hang a man.. I
would hang a woman, though. Women,
l Deneve, nave been escaping frequent
ly these late -years."
The defendants in the case were all
men and the prosecutor promptly
excused Schiffmann for cause.
In several recent trials, women de
fendants charged with murder have
been acquitted by Chicago juries.

vestry to proceed with the project. It
is expected that work will be com

structure will be completed this year.
The new church will cost about 310,
000. It probably will be constructed of
concrete blocks. The style of the
architecture will be early Italian.

in 1849.
LOAFING CURE SUGGESTED
Plain Label for City Inspectors Ex
pected to Keep Them Hustling.
All city inspectors may be required
to wear large badges on the outside of
their clothing bearing the words, "City
Inspector."
It has been called to the attention
of members of the Commission that
inspectors oftentimes loiter apparently

practice would be stopped.

JUAREZ. Mexico. April 3. After the
hysterical outbursts which greeted
news of the fall of Torreon last night,
this city was preternaturally calm to
day. It was ihe calm and refreshing
sleep after a fever, for anxiety over
the Issue of the campaign has been
little less than a fever for the last
week.
Greatest Interest centers in definite
information as to the number of fed
eral prisoners taken by the rebels. In
his bulletin last night Villa said the
federal losses were 13.000 dead, wound
ed and prisoners, and it was assumed
he meant that most of these were
prisoners.
Complete Rout Indicated.
The report indicated a rout of the
Huertalstas so complete as to be al
most unbelievable and details were eag
erly awaited. Villa's early estimate of
his losses Is E00 killed and 1500
wounded.
The streets today were almost de
serted, and while automobilists .com
ing from the American side were
superficially searched for weapons, the
restriction which compelled all to make
a detour around the home of General
Carranza was removed. The precaution
was taken by Mayor Padres, on tng to
the possibility of assault by some
fanatic on the chief of the revolution.
Saloons and dives generally were re
opened. There was no disposition to
check any form of patriotic celebra
tion. Players IJeaert Roalerte.
The news came too late last night for
a fitting demonstration, although for a
while the streets were thronged, whis
tles blew, bells rang, guns were fired,
and every leader of the rbel cause re
ceived his share of "vivas." The silent
gentleman with the dyed mustache who
spins the marble at the roulette wheel
in the Juarez Monte Carlo seemed to
be the only person who was not ex
cited. When the crowd of players
suddenly deserted him on the sound of
the bugle call of victory, he gave the
marble another whirl from sheer force

M. Frank Denied.
CHICAOO. April S. The murderer of
Mary Phagan. tbe young Atlanta girl
for whose death Leo M. Frank Is sen
tenced to hang April 1". Is now known
beyond a doubt, according to William
J. Burns, the detective, who arrived In
Chicago and completed his report to
day after an extensive Investigation.
Whether Frank or another la the
slayer of the girl. Burns would not say,
although he strongly intimated ha had
found new evidence In the case which
would secure a new trial for the con
demned man.
"The murderer of Mary Phagan Is
known to me and he cannot get away."
Burns said. "I will say that. In my
opinion. Frank will not hang on April
17. 1 do not believe the Supreme Court
can ignore the evidence we have gath
ered." Frank's lasmare Intimated.
While Burns would not anticipate
his report, his investigations, he Bald,
had convinced him that Frank waa not
the sort of a man capable of making
tbe attack which Is alleged to have
been made on the girl preceding the
murder.
The detective said his attention had
first been called to the case by a young
man from Atlanta who was a pussen
ger on tho steamer on which Burns
was returning from Europe. Through
him Burns read in the newspapers of
the trial and concluded, from tho ac
counts ho saw. that Frank waa guilty.
Later, he said, while he waa In Key
West, three citixens of Atlanta asked
him to undertake the investigation.
Friends Insist eui I'roof.
At first. Burns said, ho refused, on
the ground that if Frank were guilty
his investigation and final conclusion
could only hurt the defendant. Frank's
friends here declared he had not had
a fair trial and that they believed he
was innocent, but if he were guilty
they wanted indisputable evidence of
his guilt.
Burns then took the case. His in

SEATTLE. Wash.. April 3 (Spe
cial.) That the formal transfer of the
Sulllvan-Consldlne vaudeville circuit
from himself to Marcus Loew will take
place In New Tork City August 1 and
that thereafter he will Immediately re- -turn
to Seattle to assume the active
management of Ms Pacific Northwest
Orpheum theaters, which eventually
will be seven In number. Is the news
announced today by John W. Considlne.
who returned last night by way ot .
Chicago from a business session with
Mr. Loew at Kansas City last week.
"The total sum to be paid over." said
Mr. Consldine In his office today,
"in my opinion will be nearer $4,000,000
than JS.000.000. The statement sent
out from Kansas City that 31,500.000
would be paid us for the good will of
the circuit Is correct. To this Is to be
added the physical value of all our
properties. Mr. Loew has three months
or more In which to adjust this sum
with me."
Cfcaage la Portland Contemplated.
In regard to the Orpheum situation
at Portland, according to Mr. Consl
dine. there will be no change in the
present arrangement there, at laast
until after the transfer of the Sullivan
& Consldine theaters to Morris Loew.
Sullivan & Consldine will continue to
operate the Orpheum theaters in tho
Northwestern states. their contract
with the Orpheum circuit covering Ore
gon. Washington. Idaho, Montana and
British Columbia, having 14 years yet
to run. The deal with Mr. Loew does
not In any way afTect the Sullivan et
Consldine control of the Orpheum
shows In this territory.
Deal Made Qalrkly.
"I want to say that In the whole his
tory of the show business no other
deal was ever put through under
such conditions aa this one," con
tluned Mr. Consldine. "From the begin
ning to the mil of the negotiations
there waa not one word of argument
Mr. Loew and his associates were
dumbfounded at our organization and
our theaters. When he sat down In
my office here and I named to him tho
price of tho circuit he agreed to it in
less than 6 minutes' time.
"There waa an affecting scene at
Kansas City when we concluded the
negotiations, one which caused Mr.
Loew to remark: 'I'll hand this scene
down to my children.' We carrra to a
full realization for the first time that
the sale meant a separation between
myself and all associates who had been
with me so long, some of them for 1 -years
or more. Just like a big family.
Parting Scene Affecting.
"When I rose to say good-by to Moses
Oppenheimer, of Spokane, my partner
during all these years, a man with
wom I had never had a word of dis
sension and a man who Is as near my
Ideal of the late Big Tim Sullivan as
any one living, ho broke down and
cried, and I did. too. When I said fare
well to Fred Lincoln, with whom I
started In my vaudeville career, it was
worse yet.
"Mr. Loew will pay for the. circuit
in five annual payments. He has agreed
to buy the stock of all my personal
friends in the United Theaters and the
Empresses In Sacramento and Chicago,
amounting to 33:9.000. The main di
vision of Interests in the circuit has
been 43 per cent to the Sullivan es
tate and SI per cent to myself.
Ueaaeaarlers May Be at Seattle.
"I am trying to get Mr. Loew to keep
Seattle as his Pacific Northwest head
quarters and believe he will do ao.
After August 1 he will be able to give
performances 40 weeka solid bookings,
which Is all most of them want. There
will be no change in present policies,
so far as I know. I imagine the name
of tho chain of playhouses will bo
changed to Loew'a Empress Circuit, On
this subject, of course. I cannot apeak
with authority. Mr. Loew personally
will own SO per cent of all these hold
ings. "The Orpheum In Vancouver goes to
them, but not the Orpheum franchise.
I have agreed with Mr. Loew to build
him a new theater there or to have one
built, and when that Is completed I
shall take back the Orpheum Theater
there for Orpheum vaudeville. This,
will give me three Orpheum houses. In
Vancouver. Seattle and Portland, and
eventually, as their growth warrants.
