CONITAS. June 23. The Constitutionalist leaders who enlisted under the banner of General Carranza have accepted General Villa as their leader in the Zacatecas campaign without questioning his authority. General Natera, who was selected by Carranza as commander of the central division, has sent word here that he will accept Villa's orders and will come here as soon as possible for a conference. Natera telegraphed that he would arrive here tonight or tomorrow, a washout south of Fresnillo having delayed his train. Information received from Natera shows that President Huerta intends to make a desperate struggle at Zacatecas. Federal troops have re-enforced General Medina Barron, the Federal commander, until he now has twelve thousand men under his command. He has also received a large consignment of ammunition and a number of cannon. Heavy fortifications have been thrown up around the city, and Villa admits that he is now facing the most difficult task of his career. "But we will win," he declared today. "We are going to batter down the fortifications with our heavy guns and then hurl forty thousand men

against Barron. He can not stop us

We are going on to Mexico City, and there we shall give the murderer of President Madero the punishment he deserves." General Herrera. commander of the rebel cavalry, said today that his men were fit for the greatest campaign they have ever waged. The cavalry probably will take no large part at Zacatecas. but they will be held in readiness to cut off Barron's retreat to Mexico City.

TO FIX

RATES FOR ROADS

WASHINGTON. June- 23. The power of the Interstate Commerce Commission to fix rates to meet competitive conditions under the long-and-short-haul clause of the act to regulate commerce, and the validity of the fourth section of that act, were upheld in a decision rendered by the Supreme Court of the United States in the so-called Intermountaln rate case. Taken with the Shreveport (La.) rate case handed down two weeks ago. the decision today confirms the power of the Interstate Commerce Commission not only to deal with Intrastate rates to the exclusion of local authorities, but to fix competitive rates which railroads once determined and which the carriers hoped to be given authority to continue in the future. The first zone lies west of a line drawn south from Minnesota; the second zone between that line and one drawn south from Cockburn Island, Lake Huron, through Paducah, Ky.; the third between that line and the Buffalo-Pittsburg-Wheeling line, while the remaining eastern territory was divided Into the fourth and fifth zones. The commission granted the application of the railroads for permission to charge a greater rate for a short than for a long haul, but in so doing fixed differentials of 7 per cent. 15 per cent and 25 per cent over the through rate to the Pacific Coast from the second, third and fourth zones.

OPEN TRUST FIGHT. WASHINGTON. June 23. The opening gun of the administration antitrust program was fired in the Senate today when the committee on interstate commerce favorably reported the Newlands bill for the formation of a federal trade commission.

CRACKS MAN'S HEAD

Mike Gentle, an Italian employed at the Pennsylvania freight station, ran a splinter in his finger while at work, causing him much agony. One or two men tried to aid him in pulling out the splinter. Then Sylvester Coleman, colored, produced a large pair of pliers, and making a joke of the affair, offered to remove the splinter. Gentle called Coleman a vile name, whereupon the colored man picked up

a crowbar and hit the Italian over the

head, knocking him unconscious. Several stitches had to be taken in the wound. Coleman has been arrested and will be arraigned in city court tomorrow.
