Juarez, April 7. Despite expres
sions of Washington's unofficial dis
pleasure at the expulsion of the Span
ish colony 'from Torreon, the pur
pose of the rebel leaders in; this re
gard was unshaken today. It is
learned from an authoritative rebel
source that General Carranaa and
General Villa are in thorough ac
cord on the matter and that Spanish
subjects throughout the republic, as
fast as other states may fall into
Constitutionalists' hands, will be
treated as at Torreon and Chihua

George C. Carothers, special agent
of the department of state, returned
to this side from his conference wi);h
General Carranza today, he locked
himself in his office saying that he
had reports to maie. Pressed for
confirmation or denial of information
gained in Juarez, he replied.
"I merely am an intermediary in
certain niatters between thc United
States and General Carranza. The
subject is one which I cannot dis
cuss." ''The large colony of Spanish refu
gees in El Paso are despondent. They
are convinced their properties will
be confiscated and themselves de
prived of their homes. Spanish hold
ings in the LaGuna district of Co
huila are valued at fifty million pe
sos, according to Spanish refugees
here. The Spanish property in Tor
reon includes leading stores in the
business distrjfct, factories and ware
houses, and the Spaniards own a
part of the stock of the Banco La-
Gun, a $10,000,000anking corpora
.turn.

representations went from thc Ameri
can government today to , General

Since Birth.
Washington, April 7.--Vigorou9
protest against the failure to include
New Orleans, Baltimore and Omaha
in the list of Federal reserve bank
cities were voiced in the house to
day. The debate started with a
speech by Representative Pupree, of
Louisiana, who reading long resolu

sentiment of that city was on the un
fairness of leaving- out New Orleans
Many took part in the"-discussion

ganization committee . that selected
the cities,
"It will be a sorry day for this
country when gentlemen, thrdnghj
legislation, inject politics into the
financial operations of the country,"
said Republican Leader Mann. "We
feared that was being done when the
currency bill was before the .house
and up to now the fears do mot ap
pear to have been baseless. All that
has been done up to now apparently
has taken politics into consideration.
We hope it will not continue,"

Optimistic Session' of the Chamber
of Commerce Directors Visiting
Business Man Compliments Local
Civic Spirit.
Mr. Guy Webb, a former resident
now ; a prominent business man of
Norfolk and president of the cham
ber of commerce and business men's
association of that city, addressed
th board of directors of the Kins
ton chamber of commerce Tuesday
evening. He discussed the city's
possibilities and declared thut with
the admirable public spirit now
manifest on every side here Kinston
should progress. Kinston has come
into the limelight recently, he as
serted, and because of accompfish
ments which trend to city improve
ment. His opinion is valued by the
directors as that of a man well eo.uip
ped to judge in such matters, hold
ing as he does the highest position
in the business life of a city of a
hundred thousand people. Mr. Webb
said he regarded the Kinston cham
ber an efficient organization of its
kind.
- The directors were in session more
than three hours. They endorsed
Cape Lookout as the point for the
government coaling station to be es
tablished on the South Atluntic const
for the benefit of Panama canal
commerce. The cape is considered
by thc directors the most advantage
ous place for the coaling station be
cause of its convenient location and
the fact that already it is being, with
the aid of extensive engineering
operations, converted into a great
harbor of refuge for ocean traffic.
Because of Kinston's proximity and
the fact that the only rail line now
within stricking distance of the lands
end "at Lookout passes through

bo material.
Th0 directors were informed that
the North Carolina corporation com
mission has promised to submit with
in a few days the records of the re
cent hearing in Raleigh in which the
city sought to have the railroads
entering Kinston build a union sta
tion hero, The records may be used
in preparing for further action on
the part of the community if neces
sary. ' The time when the commis
sion's decision will be rendered is
uncertain. It pleads that the mem
hcr.s have been occupied with the
freight rates controversy and other
prior matters and have not had time
to determine an opinion upon the
union depot matter.
The chamber's committee on
health and sanitation reported that
plans are now formulating ' for the
municipal health 'conference to be
held in the spring. The details are
not complete. It is expected that
the conference, with noted experts
on hygiene advising, wjll be held in
May.
The ' directorate went on record
as ' favoring additional paving' and
other civic improvements.
The entertainment committee of
the chamber was instructed to ar
range for a smoker, or dinner for
the - entire membership, to be held
within 30 days for the purpose of
promoting an increased fraternal
spirit among the business men. -
The trade extension committee re
ported that an active campaign to
boost Kinston is contemplated. One
feature will be an automobile trip
byy local merchants to the markets
in ; the surroundiag . country tribu
tary to Kinston.? The tour will allow
the Kinston business men to get ac
quainted with : thoie of the neigh
boring towns and. advertise the ad
vantages of the citif as the commer

which it ia the business hub.
Thetchamber,'1t was decided, will

every way possible " to insure its
rightful proportion of receipts in the
coming sales season. ? c ,
