Mexico City, Mex., Nov. 15. S
Provisional President Huerta's X
cabinet ministers were summon- ,
ed to the naitoital palace this
morning and went Into a special S
session at noon today.
Mexico City, Mex., Nov. 15. Sena'
tors and deputies elected recently to
form the new congress in place of that
dissolved by Provisional President
Huerta will meet at 3 o'clock this
Afternoon, in their respective houses
to choose temporary speakers.
Early today President Huerta had
given no indication that he intended
to alter his views in connection with
the demands made by John Lind, per
sonal representative of President Wil
son, that he prevent organization of
the new congress.
It would be no surprise in official
circles here if the American embassy
was withdrawn. Nelson O'Shaugh-
nessy, charge d'affaires, received a
communication from the Btate depart
ment at Washington last night, which
it is believed contained instructions
governing his action.
Unless the present plan is aban
doned by President Huerta within the
next few hours, the men chosen to
replace those senators and deputies
now prisoners in . the penitentiary,
will assemble for a preliminary meet
ing with Manuel Garza Aldape, min
ister of the interior, as acting tempor
ary chairman. Ordinarily this post
would fall to pome member of the
previous congress.
Today's sessions are expected to be
confined to the formality of selecting
temporary dfflcers.
First regular1 session for the trans
action of business Js due to occur the
afternoon of November 20.
Rumors heard yesterday circulated
with additional persistency today are
that the American embassy will be
withdrawn on Monday or earlier. Mr.
Lind is credited with the authorship
of these rumors and with the addi
tional statement that marines are to
be landed as a protest against Presi
dent Huerta's defiance of the Wash
ington government. In that event, it
i.i probable that Vera Cruz will be
evacuated by the federals.
It is reported here that the govern
ment army commander at Vera Cruz
has been instructed in such an event
to make no opposition but to with
draw his force to some point nearer
the capital and there await instruc
tions. It is not improbable that there will
be an eleventh hour alteration of the
government's plan with reference to
the meeting of congress today since it
is not regarded as probable that Wash
ington will recede from the stand an
nounced by Mr. Lind that congress
shall not meet as ordered by Presi
dent Huerta.
"In view of Venustiano Carranza's
repudiation of any form of mediation
by or alliance with the United States,
Provisional President Huerta can do
no less than Join him in his expres
sion of patriotic sentiment and main
tain unaltered his dignified attitude
toward Washington."
ThiB statement was made at the na
tional palace today.
This declaration appears to cast ex
treme doubt on any renewal of nego
tiations between Mexico and the
United States, according to the view
taken by well-informed persons here.
They declare that it tends to sub
stantiate the belief that no hope is
left of an amicable adjustment.
No indication had been given at the
"United States embassy up to 10 o'clock
morning that General Huerta had man
ifested any desire to accede to the
American demands relative to the
Mexican congress on which it was re
ported the limit was to expire at noon
today. Nelson O'Shaughnessy, the Am
erican charge d'affaires, denied, how
over, that any limit had been fixed.
There was some indication that the
newly elected Mexican congressmen
would meet for the purpose of organi
sation at the hour specified, although
rumors were current that a counter
order would be issued by the provision
al president at the last moment.
Genera! Huerta is said to be yet un
convinced of the advisability of re
signing and it is suggested here that
Venustiano Carranza's refusal of the
proposition made to him by William
Bayard Hale, personal representative
of President Wilson, had had the ef
fect" of bolstering him up in his de
fiance. Washington, D. C., Nov. 15. The
statement from Provisional President
Huerta that he joined General Car

form by the United States was read
to Secretatry Bryan, but he made no

the Republicans will endeavor to com

Tuesday and a meeting of the entire

for that day.
The Republicans finally adopted a
plan for guarantee of deposits. Sena

INDICTED MAN CALLS
AND MAKES BOND.
New York, Nov. 14. Everett Fowler
of Kingston came fiere today to give
bail on the indictment found against
him yesterday charging that he, as a
Tammany "bag man" extorted $250
from Seneca Hull, an up-state contrac
tor on the threat that if Hull refused,
his work on state highways would not
be approved by inspectors.
There was no session of the grand
jury today but on Monday District At
torney Whitman will take up the cas
es of men alleged to have worked with
Fowler.
Norman E. Mack, former chairman
of the Democratic state committee, to
whose order Hull's check was made
out, issued a statement today saying
that it was a regular campaign contri
bution, received in the regular way.
HURL HAMMERS AT
HEAD OF LONDON JUDGE
London, Nov. 15. Women hurled
hammers at the judge of the London
sessions court at the Old Bailey to
day when he sentenced Miss Rachael
Peace, a militant suffragette, to 18
months' imprisonment, after she had
been found guilty by the jury of set
ting fire to a cottage at Hampton on
the Thames, on October 4, last.
A crowd of women had gathered in
the court room and frequently inter
rupted the procedure. On the pro-
"Once more the Southern Pacitic of
ficials are evading the issue. Mr.
Kruttschuitt proposes the formulation
of some plan to adjust future griev-
jances without any regard to those ex
listing. Such being the case, we can,
as matters stand, have no reply."
Mr. Kruttschnitt's offer was to dis
cuss with a representative committee
of the four labor organizations on
strike, the question of inaugurating a
system of dealing with controversies
through a joint committee represent
ing all four organizations.
Except for a few passenger trains,
the entire Sunset Central system was
completely tied up. No violence had
been reported anywhere on the 1400
miles of idle track between El Paso
and New Orleans,
The Southern Pacific railroad ex
pected to operate fourteen passenger
trains dally, maiming them mostly
with its own officials. Among these
are the east and west, bound daily
transcontinental expresses, requiring
eight trains for each way, to maintain
their schedule.
Julius Kruttschuitt, chairman of the
executive committee of the Southern

noon that the railroad company was

it is that if the traveling public has

FIRE IN MID-OCEAN
Washington, D. C, Nov. 15. Well
ington today awaited dispatches from
Chiarge O'Shaughnessy as to the ef
fect ot instructions sent him late last
night by Secretary liryan, informing
counsellors of lluerta, who have dis
played an anxiety to reopen negotia
tions, on just what conditions the
United States would assent to further
parleys.
As the new Mexican congress, which
the United States has refused to
recognize as legally chosen, was to be
convened by official order late today,
it was expected here that definite de
velopments in tho situation would
materialize.
Officials are confident that Huerta
now realizes riot only that the United
States is in earnest in its intention to
oust him und may accomplish his
elimination by lifting the embargo on
arms, but also that Great Britain as
well as the other foreign powers, have
assumed more than a passive attitude
of acquiesence in the American
policy.
The fact that Sir Lionel Carden, Brit
ish minister to Mexico, is communicat
ing to Huerta intimations of a strong
character that he must eliminate him
self. in accordance with American con
tention, is said to be the development
on which the siutatiou has turned
within the last two days.
The capture of Juarez, an Important
l.ort through which munitions of. war
might be passed for a vigorous cam
paign on Chihuahua and the large
cities to the south, is expected to have
considerable effect in Mexico City.
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE REFUSES TO
ENDORSE "DR. " EDGAR L HEWETT
Port Huron, Mich., Nov. 15. One of
the strangest mysteries in connection
with the destruction of vessels and
men on the Great Lakes by last Sun
day's storm, was solved today when
William Baker, a diver, identified the
overturned vessel in Lake Huron, 13
miles northeast of this port, as the
Charles S. Price, of Cleveland. The
Price is said to have catried a crew
of 28. All of the crew are believed
to have been lost. Until today all

conjectures as to her name. The gen
eral opinion, however, was that she

It is still thought that the wrecking
of the Price and Regina must have
been in the same locality. The diver,
however, found no evidence of an
other submerged vessel beside the
PHce. The opinion that the two
steamers went down near each other
