(By The Aaaoelated Preaa) El Paso, Tex., Sept. 18. Two col- limns of Mexican cavalry today were pursuing Villa and his main band, which Saturday made a day attack on Chihuahua City, into the Santa Clara . canyon district to the northeast, ac cording to reports to General Gon zales in Jaures. - These reports indicated Hint the Villa forces numbered about 1,500, and was opposed by a garrison of about 7,000. The Villa casualties al so are said to be considerably larger than -was at first indicated. The number of dead and wounded picked up by the pursuing forces is estimated to be Drobablv 250. ' - Villa himself directed the attack, according to dispatches, but did not . enter the town. Much damage was done to the pen itentiary and municipal and -federal palaces, which 'the bandits succeeded in capturing before the surprised members of the garrison, ' who had been participating in Independence Dav celebrations, rallied. Rifles were useless in hand to hand encounters which followed.- : Pistols and - bare fists were used as the two commands struggled throush the early mornim hours in the raid. Physicians attending General Trev r in, who -sustained a. wound in the arm during action, said today that his injury was slight. .... SEEK AGREEMENT ON -t . THE COTTON TAX- Status of the, Money Collected Dmr- ing and Following .the War. 1 " Atlanta, "Ga Sept. 17. There seems to be a general misunderstand ing throughout Georgia and the south ss to the status- of the money collect ed as a cotton tax during and immed iately after the Civil war. ' The opinion seems to prevail that this tax. was held to be unconstitu tional by the United States supreme court and that the money collected, amounting to some $68,000,000, js still held as a separate fund in the Treasury Department. " , As far as he money is concerned, there was no provision in the lsw that it should be kept separate from other moneys in the Treasury, and it went into the general fund.. As to the legality of the tax, the following are the facts In 1886 a Mr. Farrington, of Memphis, Tenn sought to enjoin the collector of internal revenue of that district, whose name was Saunders, from collecting the cotton tax on the ground hat the law levying the tax was unconstitutional. The court held that the tax was DEMOCRATS HELD: PRIMARIES SATURDAY KEY. PAUL BABJUNOEB IS THE ' r CHOICE FOR THE HOUSE. HI.

RegaroVd as Great Victory. . Ottawa, t. Sept. 18. ' A lorty years' battle on the part of the anti- liquor forces to make Cntar-o "dry" was crowned with victory today, when every licensed bar in the Province was dosed by operation of the prohibition statute enacted by the legislature last spring. The winning of Ontario is regarded aPUhe most important vie toy that the! prohibitionists have yet scored in Canada, s'nee the -Province is the' largest in population snd the most important from an industrial standpoint of any in the Dominion. The chief a m of the new law is to wipe out the retail liquor business. The law does not prohibit the manu facture of intoxicants, so long as the brewers and distillers do not sell their product in Ontario. The wholesale liquor business will be permitted to continue under strict regulations.. The sale of liquor for medicinal, scientific and' sacramental purposes will be per mitted, also under strict regulations. Druggists are to be permitted to sell liquor only' oa physicians' prescrip tions and then only in quantities not to exceed six. ounces. ' The chie sufferers from Che en forcement of the prohibition law will be the hotels, which in Canada hftre depended tq a much greater extent upon the revenues derived from the r bars than have the hotels in the Unit ed States. The capital invested in ho tels in Ontario is estimated to be be tween fifty and one hundred million dollars. With the closing of their bars it is believed that many of the hotels will be forced to quit business. wit. : : e fiA. tk nun iue winning ot vinai u tuc prohibit!onists see in prospect an all drv Canada the first of the great nations of the worm to put their loot down on the liquor traffic. Prince Edward Island led the way by abol ishing the sale of liquor by retail more than fifteen years ago. In June of last year Saskatchewan followed suit by closing up all the retail bars with the exception of twenty govern ment operated liquor shops. Manitoba, Nova Scotia and Alberta came under the prohibiten banner this year. In New Brunswick the sale of linuor Av retail will .cease next April, in British Columbia next June and in theTukon Territory next July, provided the prohibitionists win in the voting that isnbout t take place. Newfoundland also will finish up her licensed sell'ng at the end of this . ... i r 1 tl... year.
