Generals Robles and Contreras Of
the federal forces are among the
wounded. Gen. Refugio velasco,
commander-in-chief of the fed
erals, escaped with a small escort
and is being pursued into the
mountains by rebel cavalry.
No mention is made in the des-
patches of General orozco or
others Of the federal forces whom
Villa has marked for execution as
traitors to the rebel cause if they
are captured and this is indicated
to mean that Orozco and others
upon whom Villa declared he
would wreak vengeance were TAX
en- prisoners and immediately exc
cuted.
Though the rebels, under COM
mand Of Generals Villa and Felipe
Angeles, are in full control of
Torreon, the city presents a ter
rible sight tonight. Dead and
wounded are lying in the streets
and the facilities are far from
being adequate to attend to the
injured. Thousands are suffering
from lack Of attention.
VICTORY COSTLY ONE.
Though it is a complete victory
of Villa 1t was a costly one and
the superb army with which he
advanced upon Torreon is literal
ly cut to pieces. Though the TAX
ing of Torreon was necessary be-
fore Villa could entirely wipe
Huerta out Of control in the north
ern part of the republic, his forces
are so badly shattered that it will
require some time for the chieftain
to again build up his forces so that
he can begin an advance on the
City of Mexico.
During the latter part of the
fight and when the shelling was
the heaviest the -combatants
took advantage of the neutral zone
which had been agreed upon by
Villa and Huerta before the en-.
gagement at the request of the
United States and fed to safety.

Explains Theory Of Law.

'All rates, rules and regulations may
be challenged, AZ any time, and revised
aud modified by the commission. The
theory Of the law and its administra-
tion Is to place the respective manage
ments on the defensive, throwing the
burden upon them TO Justify their rates
and service whenever the issue Is raised
before the commission The commission
may act both upon complaint and upon
its own initiative with respect TO all
matters relating TO public utilities.
" The most important provisions Of
our public utilities law may be grouped
about four leading heads, namely, val
nation, accounting, rates and service;
these provisions, however, are not 50
specific on such matters, for instance.
as the appraisal and valuation, and re-
valuation, by the commission of the

(of THE Queen Of the Movies cos

TN this article l said that I would
explain the difference between
the benefit derived from the ball
room dance and the more acrobatic
dance Of the stage which can be
practiced at home any time. my
self am entirely in favor Of the aero
baltic dance, for this reason:
There Is really little or no physical
benefit to be derived from the modern
dance, because there is not enough
bodily exercise.
In the tango. the only muscles ex-
eroised to any extent are those be-
tween the knee and the ankle. The
arm movement is also slight. and the
bodily movement lies in the bending
back of the body as illustrated.
This movement is used to some ex-
tent in the maxixe, but really not
enough to make any difference in the
Rlenderness Of the waist
OF course, 1t is better to dance the
modern dances constantly than not to
dance at all, but combination OF
both would be ideal
You could use the acrobatic steps
