A NATIONAL CONVENTION.

The national republican nomin-
ating convention will be held on June
z, now but little more than two
weeks in advance. The greatest in
terest attaches to this convention
from the fact that while it will meet
as two conventions. every republican
hopes for an amalgamation of the
forces. while democracy is just as
hopeful that the two branches will
fail to meet on a common ground.
There will be 9S5 delegates, and an
equal number Of alternates within the
republican convention. while the pro-
gressiye convention will seat 700
delegates. Each convention will have
an equal number of alternate dele
gates, while there will be a small
army OF officials. reporters, telegraph
officials, etc. AT least 100, 900 visitors
will be in attendance, and $4,000
women are to arrange and stage an
equal suffrage demonstration.
The G. o. p. and the Moose COM
mittees have been busy putting the
finishing touches on preparations for
the convention. The building will be
decorated in gala fashion. The speak
ers' stand will be in the south end
OF the Coliseum. Arrangements have
been completed to accommodate H.
900 people.
The press will occupy the first 700
chairs encircling the speakers plat
form. The sS5 delegates will follow.
and beyond them will be seated as
many alternates. The rear end OF the

.VLl|STA BANDITS
HARD TO SQUELCH

Advanced Base. San Antonio. CHI
huahua state. Mex. May 6.--(By
courier to Columbus. N. NJ. May is)
Chasing villista bandits is like
fighting a stubborn fire: squelch
them In one place and they break out
In another.
The American troops have olashed
with the main body OF villistas In
four major engagements. In each
case the enemy has lost heavily and
his force has been scattered and
broken. Three times the bandits have
reorganixed and recruited almost 10
their original strength. And there
Is every possibility that they will
be able to do so again,
Colonel Dodd and his column OF
Seventh cavalry struck the villistas

them in a running fight and send
ing them scurrying into the hills In
small groups, Four days later Col

n force composed of these scattered
remnants nj Aguas Calientes. Again
the bandits we're broken up, Then
came the only real stand the villistas
have made. the battle with Dodd at
Tomachic. April 80. Although badly
whipped at least q hundred Of the
villistas who participated In the en-
gagement were able to get together
and give Major Howxe's Eleventh
cavalry a battle at ojo Axuies. Nearly
half OF the Mexican force was left
dead on the field. Many badly
wounded are reported to have gotten
away.
Despite this overwhelming defeat.
II Is still an open question whether
this band will be able to reform
again.

At least he has been eliminated as
a political and military factor In
Mexico for the time being.
About $50 OF his men. including
those lost at Columbus. have been
killed. Several OF his chiefs are
among the dead. Yet bandltry Is
still prevalent in those parts OF CHI
huahua not actually policed by Am
erican troops. Reports are being re-
ceived almost daily OF various sized
bands operating in districts removed
from American lines. Some OF these
are identified as yillistas. The iden-
tity Of the others Is doubtful, individ-
uals OF known villista sympathies
are constantly being brought into
camp by patrols. Even now several

tionality of the Federal Reserve Act,
insofar as it permits national banks
to act as executors. administrators.

bonds. was placed before the Su-
preme Court to-day for decision. Il
came up on an appeal filed By the
First National Bank of Bay City,
Mich, from a decree of the Michigan
Supreme Court prohibiting the bank
from exercising such functions.
The Michigan courts ruling was

asserted would become the greatest

long streams of traffic pouring into

Southwest system and the Pennsyl-

had been taken. and, barring such
possible eventualities as heavy fogs
in the valleys or a sudden drop in
temperature, there would be no stop

In the Pittsburgh district prop ar
freight offerings have been so heavy
that every engine and car oDtaina-
