The main features were: The entire power and duty of regu lation should be in the hands of the national government except as to mat ters so essentially local and incidental that cannot be used to interfere with the efficiency of the service or the just rights of the carriers. As a means to acccomplish this end. a system of federal incorporation should be provided for to cover all railroad corporations engraved in inter-State and foreign commerce.

The Villa bandits again were repulsed early to-day by the Carranza forces defending Chihuahua City, according to a message received at military headquarters here.

Trcvino's Constitutionalist forces. Juarez, Mex., Nov. 25.—Repulsed in repeated attacks upon Chihuahua City during the last two days, troops of Krancisco Villa are still encamped near the city to-day, according to Mexican government officials here. The bandit army lost heavily in the attacks made on Thursday and Fri day, Carranza declared, adding that the government troops had remained loyal. Villa's latest attack upon Chihuahua ■ City continued until 9 o'clock last night, the officials said. General! Ozuna, commanding government forces, late yesterday was said to have pursued a bandit column for some distance outside the city.

There was nothing to in dicate that the lighting was on a large scale. Repeatedly Stormed Hills High hills are located immediately east, west and south of Chihuahua City. Santa Kosa hill has been forti fied and the repeated efforts of the bandits to take this stronghold are said to have been unsuccessful. North of the city an open plain stretches for several miles and it was from this quarters that Villa made his raid on Septemher 16. The possibility exists, Carranza officials said, that Villa might invade Chihuahua City from the north, but they maintained that it would be impossible for him to hold the town against General Trcvino's artillery mounted on Santa Hosa hill.

Local Man Is Cousin of Captain Koenig of Deutschland Fame A man who speaks of the wortd famous and hero-worshiped comman der as the Deutschland as "My cousin Paul" was discovered this morning in the person of William Koenig, 1331 Cowden street. As a boy William Koenig did not like the idea of military life, but with Paul Koenig, his cousin and playmate, it was different. Together they sailed on a creek near their home. Always Paul said: "Some day I will be a sailor and serve our Kaiser on the ships that sail the big seas." Especially was Paul interested In the stories his elders told about ships that would some day sail not on the seas, but down beneath the surface where no man could see their passage. The story tellers did not exactly believe the stories they told, but the eager little listener did. \ At high school Paud was noted for his unusual mental ability. Mathema tics and his hobby, tales of the sea his delight, and the Kaiser his worshiped god. Twenty-five years ago William left the fatherland for America, but letters have kept them constantly in touch with one another. 2,o<H) get kaisem Warren, 0., .Nov. 23.
