The battle of Torreon is still raging.
but Constitutionalist officers declared
to-day that they had no late news OF
the situation in the town, which is
being so bravely defended by General
Refugio Velasco and his Federal
troops.
The military censorship was main
tanned. the interruption of newspaper
dispatches giving rise to reports that
General Villa had suffered a severe
check in his attempt to capture the
main plaza Of Torreon.
A brief dispatch was received by
General Chao, Governor of Chihua-
hua. shortly after midnight, and he
transmitted it at once to General
Carranza, the Provisional President,
but when asked if he had any i'm
portant news, said.

There is no doubt that the battle
in and around Torreon has been the
bloodiest engagement of the revolu-
tion against President Huerta 1t is
believed that more than 5000 men
have been killed or wounded in the
conflict Constitutionalist officials
minimize their losses as usual. but
are unable 10 furnish any evidence
that the rebels have suffered less Sc
riously than the Federals, whose loss
es are reported at over 1000.

Constitutionalist Government Provi-

rived last night, will remain here un-
til the battle of Torreon is decided
and possibly may decide rot to go to

A direct outgrowth of and a pro-
posed supplement to the present in
surance and blue sky" laws is the
law which a prominent legislator eN-
poets to offer in the General Assembly
next summer looking to the preven-
ton of so-called spite suits" in Geor-
gia hereafter.
A number of particularly n
the West-already have enacted laws
of this kind. and a hard fight is to be
made in Georgia to get one through
the Legislature.
AS the Georgia laws now stand, 1t
is a very easy matter to bring a pc
tition for receiver against practically
any sort of business enterprise no
matter how solvent and petitions for
receiVerships, no matter how lacking
in merit, -nyariab bly, are embarrassing
and sometimes hard to explain.
Wherefore, any person having a
grievance against an enterprise, real
or imaginary, need only to bring a
receiVership petition in order to force
either a settlement or costly and in
furious litigation. sufficient mum
Der of such suits already have been
brought in Georgia to classify them AS
spite suits" which is a very com
prehensive and accurately descriptive
term-and it is against them that this
proposed new legislation is aimed
The basic idea--the bill has not vet
been worked out in details that it
shall be unlawful hereafter to bring a
petition for a receivership in Georgia
unless good and sufficient bond is
given from which indemnity may 6e
had in the event the following litga
ton shall prove to be trivial, incon-
sequential and unnecessarily hurtful
to the enterprise attacked
Such law, framed to be = friend
to legitimate business, but not a shield
to illegitimate concerns would fnl,
no doubt, many warm friends and ad-
vocates in the Legislature,
At all events, the author of the
proposed law-who does not at this
time care to make public his name
feels much encouraged. from some
correspondence already had with fel-
low members, to believe that his law
certainly will pass, and by a good
vote.
