 Touching on the opposition to the railroad law, Senator Lewis made these statements:
 The present election result follow ing the manner of resistance made by the powerful interests against the ln- terests of the people at large, shows that the great agencies of commerce and transportation must be put under subiection to the welfare of the peo- pie or they will be able by consoilda- ton of interests to defeat the veal and wiz of the republic.

CARRANZAS ATTITUDE Is
 MORE PROBLEMATICAL
Mexicans Are Promised That Close Watch Will Be Kept on Those Sus. peeted of Plotting Against the Car. ranza Government In This Country

Washington, Nov. 25.-There ap- pears to be little doubt that the American government will approve the principle of the protocol signed in Atlantic City yesterday by mem lers of the Mexican-American joint commission, providing for conditional withdrawal of the American troops now in Mexico and for military con trol of the border. President Wilson and Secretary Lansing began the study of the protocol today and while no formal announcement will be made until they have considered all the de. tails, other officials said the agree ment followed the general ideas of the administration
 The attitude of General Carranza toward the agreement is considered here as more problematical Alberto J. Pani, one of the Mexican members of the joint commission will deliver it to him at Queretaro and will make a supplementary explanation of the at. titude of the American commissions CTS.
 The Mexican members are hopeful that his explanation will impress Gen eral Carra uza, since a clear exposition of the intentions of the United States was made at the Atlantic City con ferences.
 Secretary Line, who headed the American commissioners, was back at his desk at the interior department today, but made no plans to see Pres ident Wilson. He probably will dis cuss Mexico with hing Monday or Tuesday but formal action by the ad- ministration will not be hurried be. cause of the time required for Mr Pani to reach Queretaro
 Officials display determination to deal firmly with the Mexican ques- tion no matter what attitude General CagranZa takes toward the agreement. They are hopeful however, that he will approve 1t.
 One development of the Atlantic City conference regarded here as signifi- cant of better relations between the two countries was premise by the American commissioners that those suspected of plotting against the Car ranza de facto government in this country will be closely watched by the United States government and punish ed if it is found that they are attempt. Ing to violate neutrality. It became known here tonight that this pledge which was net put in writing was given after the Mexican commissions CTS had complained that much of the difficulty along the border had beeH due to plots formed within tle Unit ed States.
 The American members gave fuN assurances that the United States would strictly enforce the neutrality laws. They pointed out, however, agents of both the state department and the department of justice con stantly are seeking evidence Of such offenses and made it clear that claims of non-enforcement of neutrality laws would not be accepted as eXcusing yio- lations of American rights at the bor. der

Juarez, Mex, Nov 25.--Rumbling of cannon reported to the telegraph operator at Sauez station by refugees and relayed to Geenral Francisco Con zales at military headquarters here convinced the civil and military off cers that Geenral Treyino Carranza commander still held Chihuahua City tonight at the close of three days seize by Villa and his bandits.
 Aside from this information the commanding officers in Juarez were as much in the dark as to the days development in the state capital as the Americans on the border. The federal telegraph line which runs into the military Headquarters at Juarez has been silent since '" n,,'- lathiss morning when communicatior with Chihuahua City was interrupted soon after Geenral Trevino sent nersonal message to Mrs. Trevino assuring her of his safety.
 The telegraph line is in operation from Juarez t. 5auez the first station north of the capital, but the Carranza officials said it had been cut between that station and Chihuahua City.
 The station agent at lSauez was or dered by General Gonzales to send a runner into the city tonight and as. certain the developments of the day and to report them over the military line upon the return of the courier.
 Suspension of wire communication with Chihuahua City is considered by, Carranza military officers here to in. dicate that Villa has moved around to the I0rtn and northeast of the city and is attacking from that side in the hope of averting the fire which the Carranza artillery has been EouriEg into the ranks of the bandits.
 Americans familiar with the topo- sraphy of the city say Villa will be able to make his way into ths city proper from the north without en- countering artillery fire. This part of the city is said to be less strongly fortified than the south. east ane west.
 Before the telegraph line was cut brief reports of the third days bat tie for the possession of ChihuahuI City received by the military here told of the military skirmishing just before dawn which soon developed into a geenral attack. A repulse or Villa was reported soon after 9 o'clock this morning of which nothing mo-s was received
 During the early morning mes sage was received announcing the de- parture of Geenral Francisco AIur- gia's cavalry column from the railroad line near Santa Rosalia for a forced overland to Chihuahua City to relieve General Trevinos troops.
 General Murgia has been advancing from Torreon with a war strength division toward the state capital. \ report that this column mad been de- feated by Villas rear guard was de- nied here tonight. Rumors of bandit activities east and southwest of Jaurez were in circulation here all day, but scouting cavalry patrols fall cd to locate any bandits within 90 miles of the town.

Villistas' Activity Will
Serve to Hold Guard on
Border For Long Time

Washington. Oct. 26. - Villistas' ac-
tivity near Chihuahua had the effect
to-day of convincing officials here that
no thought should be given soon to
removal of guardsmen from Border
patrol duty or withdrawal of General
Pershings column from Mexico, Fear
was felt that if Villa should succeed
in his apparent movement to capture
Chihuahua, he might find it easy to
get control later of nearly all north
ern Mexico. The entire Mexican
situation was regarded as more serious
than for many months.
Conditions at Chihuahua were the
subject of greatly conflicting reports.
Mexican Ambassador Arredondo re-
ceived from Consul Garcia at Ell Paso
a denial of General Trevino, Car
rama commander at Chihuahua. that
he was short of ammunition or in

Who Received Enthusiastic Greeting
AT Hands of Thousands Last
Night

Republicans, Progressives and Inde
to the doors last night to hear Phil
ander c. Knox, former Secretary of
State and candidate for United States
Senator; State, congressional and
legislative candidates discuss the
issues of the campaign. 1t was the
biggest meeting held in the hall ex-
cept for those assembled to greet
presidential candidates and, as Mr.
Knox said after his address, one of
the most thoughtful and serious
minded he had spoken to during this
campaign or in any other. 1t was
notable, moreover, for the wide dis
triet represented, men from a dozen
nearby counties being in the audience,
and for the appearance of the militant
progressives of 1912 and 1914 who sat
side by side with the men who fought
in Republican ranks in those years.
The whole meeting appeared to be
imbued with what Mr.. Knox said was
the great obligation" resting upon
the shoulders of voters this year.
The speakers We're literally ap-
plauded, of course from the time they
came in escorted by the high HATED
members of the Republican clubs until
they made their perorations, but down
deep there was a keen desire to get
the facts and when it was all over a
manifest conviction that the Demo
cracy was putting over some damaged
goods.

publican clubs of the city and county,

Manager Bent in speaking of the
cooperation of the company told
Chief Wetzel that the Harrisburg po-
lice department may visit the plant,
and go through the negro quarters at
any time. He told the committee that
the Southern negroes are here to stay
and that the colored residents of the
North with their advantages can give
much aid in helping to educate the
Southern negroes and to teach them
that the law is supreme and will be
enforced.

He urged Chief of Police Wetzel to
take immediate action to prevent in

be stopped. The steel company mana
