ASSOCIATED PRESS DTePATCH1
 CHICAGO, Dec. 10.-An attack on the woman suffrage law passed by the last legislature was made in a suit filed against the board of cleo ton commissioners by William T. ScoWn, tax payer. The suit asks an injunction to restrain the board from spending money for separate ballots for women and to prohibit women from voting pending a deci- sion on the constitutionalfty of the law. The suit attacks the constitu- tionality of the act in permitting wo- men to vote on special questions
 The failure of the act to recite in it's contents the bills it is supposed to amend or all of the bills relating to the subject of women voting prior to it's passage it is also charged, makes it unconstitutional.

PRESIDIO. Dec lo-Whether the tattered remnants of the Mexican federal army under General Mercado and 1000 troops have been driven to bly on the United States border and will make d last stan1 for supremacy :.t Oiinaga against the rebels ad- V;.ncing to this point, or whether the teGeraIs will continue their retreat into the state of NucN0 Leon Is u question unanswered tonight. The rebels report that General Villa is directing an attack on ojinaga and tfat the rebels are advancing in two columns but that they will not reach Oiinaga in force for about one week.
 Even should the federals decide to retreat it is believed they cannot set away without fight, as the rcb- els under General Herrera who pur- sued the refugees from Chihuahua gre reported to be within striking distance of the town. Every indica- tion shown at Ojinaea is that the federals intend to build formidable defense Trenches have been dug, suns mounted on the hills and pro- visions carried across the river. Gen erals Mercado. Orozco and SaiaZar are active in directing the fortifica- tions.
 The active defense began as q mat ter of course on the arrival of the army and were carried on apparently with renewed energy after communi- cation had been opened with Mexico City. For some reason the civilian refugees who accomuanied the army from Chihuahua are being allowed t. cross to the American side only TcN at a time Those who crossed representing the wealthy families whose lives were thought to be in danger at the hands of the rebels went immediately to the nearest rail way station at Maria It is said the civilian families are being held aj Cjinaga in the belief that the rebels will not attack on-cOmbatants.
