ULTIMATUM TO
HUERTA IS
REPORTED
MUST ABDICATE AT ONCE AND NOT
TURN REINS OVER TO ANY OF
HIS FRIENDS, SAYS REPORT-OFFICIAL
CIRCLES WILL NOT TALK
ON SUBJECT.
NO REPLY HAS BEEN
RECEIVED FROM MEXICO
Washington, D. C. Nov. 4. Presi
dent Wilson let the Mexican situation
few hours today while he
simmer a tew nours loa' "
went to Princeton, N. J., to vote. The
tnftinn over this government's ulti
matum to Huerta was not relieved by
the president's absence, however, and
just before Mr. Wilson left the White
House he conferred with Secretary
Bryan.
All officials here were silent over
the notice to Huerta to vacate the
Provisional presidency of Mexico and
seat no partisan.
The understanding was that the
tltude here Is to make no announce-
ments just now and await the next
siep.
The greatest interest centered at
Huerta's conferences with the Mexico
City diplomatic corps. As soon as
Charge D'Shaughnessy had delivered
the latest note, Huerta called in the
diplomats but no announcement was
made of their conference.
President Wilson planned to be in
touch with the situation practically
every hour he is away today and to
return to Washington tonight. The
president left here at 10 o'clock this
morning, expecting to arrive in Prince
ton at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon, cast
bis ballot, leave Princeton at 4:20
o'clock and arrive back in the capital
at 9:23 tonight.
Administration officials directly
connected with the Mexican negotia
tions have adopted a policy of abso
lute silence, considering inexpedient
at this time to define the course of ac
tion being pursued and declining to
ccmment one way or the other on the
reports from Mexico City regarding
the presentation of a summarynote
to i Huerta requiring his immediate
resignation. fS'hat thls'ellmtnaUrm of
Huerta is a sine quo non, is admitted
ly 'the fundamental principle of the
administration policy, but beyond this
the successive steps taken or con
templated are not disclosed. .
An air of confidence In official cir
cles is taken to indicate that the U.
S is satisfied that practically all. the
great powers have agreed to support
the administration's policy at least to
the extent of observing a strictly
neutral attitude and allowing the U. S.
tn test Its own plan for restoring
peace in Mexico.
In the absence of any official state
ment, but on the basis of expressions
h mnetpnt observers, it
w """"" '--- . '

a hp evert that Huerta nas peen lii -
formed mat pracucauy au me iuci
diplomatically represented in the Mex-
lean capital are disposed to defer to
the United States in the task of es
tablishing constitutional government.
Secretary Bryan flatly refused to
discuss the situation when inquiries
were made concerning the demand for
the immediate retirement of Huerta.
Senator Bacon, chairman of the for
eign relations committee, after a con
ference with Secretary Bryan said:
"I consider the situation to be j
nearer a conclusion. We are very
liopeful that things will turn ont well."
Secretary Daniels reiterated today
that the three battleships of the sec
ond division of the Atlantic fleet will
remain in Mexican gulf waters until
further orders, notwithstanding that
four battleships of the third division
are due at Vera Cruz and Tampico to
morrow. Rear Admiral Fletcher, commanding
the second division, will take com
mand of the entire squadron. The
New Hampshire and Nebraska will
keep station at' Tampico, while the
Louisiana, Michigan, Rhode Island,
Virginia and New Jersey will await
developments off Vera Cruz. In addi
tion to these seven dreadnoughts, the
gunboat Wheeling and the cruiser Ta
koma are off era Cruz, while the
gunboats Petrel and Nashville are in
Dominican waters not far away.
On the west coast, the armored
cruisers California and Maryland are
at Guaymas and Mazatlan, respective
ly. The gunboat Annapolis also is at
-Guaymas and the armored cruiser
Pittsburg is enroute to that port.
Later today Secretary Bryan issued
a statement. He declined to discuss
the use of the word "ultimatum",
"note" or "advices" saying he had no
more to say than the statement iself
conveyed. It waa rr fnllows:
( "I have made It a rule not to

the dispatch from Mexico this morn
ing suggests a departure from the
rule at this time. No ultimatum has
been sent to Mexico and It Is unfortu
nate that the press should elve cred
ence to such a report The harm done
by speculation or even inaccuracies in
regard to domestic questions is limit
ed because the people are acquainted
with the subject and can make allow

to International matters may lead to

! Discussion of the possibility that

i situation to congress in a political ad
! dress was revived in administration
'circles again today.
Sixty French colonists near Santa
'Rosalia on the west coast of Mexico,
I reported in danger, now are gathered

: ; ; Wilson Not Worried.
On Board President Wilson's Train,
Baltimore, Md., Nov. 3. No word of
comment was available from President
i Wilson today on the ultimatum de
manding Huei'ta's resignation. The
President gave no evidence of being
worried over the situation and is calm
ly awaiting Huerta's reply. The presi
dent was accompanied on his trip to
Princeton, N. J., by Miss Eleanor Wil

Misses Lucy and May Smith, of New j

HARVESTER TRUST

AT COURT
JUDGE M'HUGH TELLS OF THE BENE

INTERNATIONAL TRADE

St. Paul, Minn., Nov. 4. .ludge Wil
liam D. McHugh, of Omaha, lighting
the federal suit for dissolution of the
International Harvester company, to
day in the United States district court
nlntured the Harvester concern as one
i0f the greatest educational and bene-
ficial forces ever created in this coun
try. Counsel for the defense, then
assigned to George W. Perkins, of
New York, credit for this achieve
ment and asserted that without Mr.
Perkins' mind to direct the organiza
tion and expansion of the business, the
International Harvester company of
today would be an Impossibility.
"When Mr. McCormick went to
Yew York in 1902 to enlist the sen-ices

pany, to aid him in getting capital

in Europe had given him a compara

"In discussing with Mr. McCormick

no one of the existing companies was
strong enough in capital, credits and

Judge McHugh then attacked the

of foreign trade was an afterthought
by the officials of the Harvester com
nanv. which began to loom large about
Ithe time the federal suit was filed.

EXPLOSION
SO SAYS STATEMINE INSPECTOR
R. H. BEDDOW REGARDING THE
CATASTROPHE AT DAWSON RE
CENTLY GAS HAO UTILE PART
IN IT SAYS REPORT.
BEDDOW MAKES
FORMAL STATEMENT
Dawson' N. M.. Nov. 4. t'oal (lust
was the predominant force in the ex
ulosion that wrecked mine No. 2 of
the Stag Canon Fuel company here
October 22. and resulted in the death
of 2S3 men, according to a statement
issued today by Itees H. Beddow,
state mine inspector. It lias not been
determined what ignited the dust. The
statement declared that gas played
very little, If any part in the explo
sion: that a week before the explosion
he hurt taken samples of air, which
were analyzed by the United States
bureau of mines at; Pittsburg, and
showed only nineteen one hundredths
of one per cent of nu-nthane. This
the inspector points out. is very low
for a mine of that character. He
says that in the last ten days experts
have been searching for gas, but have
not found enough anywhere in the
mine to show in a safety lamp test.
Inspector Beddow's statement fol
lows:
"tias nlayed very Utile part in the
explosion of the Dawson mine. The
mine was the best ventilated mine in
the state. There was 150,000 to 190,-
000 cubic feet of air traveling through
the mine per niluute, This air was
divided into many different splits, go
ing into all parts of the mine, thus
preventing any accumulation of gas.
For the past ten days many of the
best eas experts and milling men of
the country have been examining the
mine and hunting for gas, but not
enough has been found anywhere to
show up in a safety lamp test. A week
previous to the explosion I took sam
ples of the main return air and had It
analyzed by the United States bureau
of mines at Pittsburg. Pa. The analy
sis of the air showi d only nineteen
one hundredths of oiie per 'cent, of
lnenthane, C. H. 4, which is very
low for a mine of tin's character.
"t'oal dust was the predominant
force that propagated the explosion
throughout all the mine, and is the
most serious and difficult problem the
coal operators have to contend with In
operating their mines. What stirred
up and ignited the coal dust has not
been determined up to the present
time. This may be revealed later on,
when some of the rooms and pillars
which are now inaccessible have been
cleaned out, and in which further in
vestigation will be made.

OCEAN FREIGHTER HITS
BIG ICEBERG
HAS NARROW ESCAPE FROM FOUNDERING
BUT FINALLY MANAGES TO REACH
PORT BEFORE WATER IN HULL
REACHES THE ENGINES.
- St. Johns, N. J., Nov. 4 The I-'ur-ness
line freighter, Manchester Com
merce, dragged her way into the har
bor here today, her bow a mass of
crumpled wreckage and her pumps
racing madly to defeat the flood of
water which poured in -.through the
shattered hull.
The steamer, which carries no wire
less apparatus, crashed head on into a
giant ice berg at 2 o'clock Sunday
morning out 1(10 miles east of Belle
Isle.
The night was darkand the berg
loomed out of the blackness so sud
denly that there was no time to
iharnru the course of the steamer
which drove at full speed into it.
The force of the impact was terrific.
Tho uteel mow of the liner was
crumpled like a piece of tin as far aft
as the collision bulkhead. The decks
were covered with great fragments of
Ice and wreckage.
Captain Couch hastily headed his
ship for St. Johns. He succeeded in
notifying his agents at Montreal by
means of flag signals.
The sea was swept by a heavy
storm and the steamer had a hard
struggle making port. The ship reach
ed here in a sinking condition, repairs
will reoiiire about two mouths. The
steamer carried 6.000 tons of general
cargo. Her lower hold, above which
the water did not come, was filled
with timber .while grain, flour and
foodstuffs were on the deck above.
The Manchester Commerce carries a
crew of forty officers and men. She is
built of iron and registers 3.5fiS tons
