US MOVED to fortress
American Charge d'Affaires Will Not
Desert His Post-The Waiting
Game Has Endorsement
of Other Nations.
Washington, Nov. 19.—From a high
fficial of the administration it was
arned that President Wilson views
He present situation in Mexico thus:
While the situation is serious, and
Ainposed of those elements which
je explosive in character, there is no
^ for alarm or uneasiness on the
iart of the American people at pres
it.
There is nothing which the prest
|ent believes warrants him in consid
ging armed intervention more than
i a final contingency.
[President Wilson bases his views
|t the reports he has received from
ton O’Shaughnessy, the American
ge d'affaires at Mexico City, and
ohn Lind, his personal representa
Irein Vera Cruz, received in the last
I hours.
Huerta Retires to Chapultepec.
The most significant of develop
lents in Mexico City, according to
teadministration view, is that Huer
ih&sgoneto the Castle of Chapulte
K. This immense palace is capable
(housing & regiment of soldiers and
(withstanding a siege. It is built on
rock, and if well defended could
irdiv be taken by assault.
The president set at rest all doubts
t to the recall of O'Shaughnessy, and
(the same time emphasized what his
olicy is, when he said to callers that
:wasnotthe intention at this time to
fcali either O’Shaughnessy or John
ild.
Powers Endorse Policy.
President Wilson was moved to con
lue the waiting policy by the atti
tude of all the foreign powers. Their
support—or, rather, the support of all
of them but one—in the present em
broilment leads the president to a
strong belief that if he waits long
enough liuerla will topple over be
cause he will not have that which is
necessary to maintain his power—
money and friends outside his own
country.
With all sources of revenue cut off
he will be unable to obtain either
money or arms, and without these
Huerta cannot carry on any cam
paign.
TO BREAK WITH CARRANZA
Executions at Juarez Likely to Make
Trouble for the Constitu
tionalist Leader.
Washington, Nov. 19.—Rumors of
an impending break in this govern
ment’s negotiations with the Mexican
constitutionalists were widely cur
rent. Two causes were assigned. The
execution of federal leaders at Juarez
has displeased President Wilson and
Secretary Bryan, but the compelling
reason is said to be the unwillingness
of Carranza to make definite prom
ises governing his future action. This
latter is most important if the consti
tutionalists are to get arms from this
side of the border.
It was believed there would be no
change in the situation before Thurs
day, when the new congress is to re
convene. The administration posi
tively refuses to comment on the or
ganization of congress in the face of
the American demand that it be dis
solved as illegal.

two men as he was about to enter the
association's clubrooms in the Bronx
late at night.
His assailants escaped, although 40
members of the club, who were in the

scattered throughout the neighbor
hood and aided the police to search
for them.

UNTO STRIKE
department store employes
ARE SHOWN WHY CHEAP
LABOR IS WRONG.
MRS. PANKHURST A WITNESS
One of the Agitators Is Arrested and
Aid of Policemen Is Invoked
to Quell the Dis
turbance.
New York, Nov. 19.—Mrs. Emme
line Pankhurst was the calm and pa
cific witness of thoroughgoing Ameri
can militantism when Mrs. O. H. P.
Belmont and her aids made a raid
upon Gimbel’s department store and
bade the women employes strike be
cause they were overworked, under
paid and exploited as women.
One woman, Helen .Castel, was ar
rested. She was distributing literature
to those in the crowd who asked for
it, and was charged with illegally lit
tering the pavement. Her case will
come up in the Yorkville court, with
Mrs. Inez Milholland Boissevain to de
fend her.
Mrs. Belmont was more wily yester
day. It was 5:15 when—in a fine cos
tume of gray velvet and with little
Mrs. Pankhurst, gowned in purple, by
her side—Mrs. Belmont stepped
through a side entrance of Gimbel's
and took the elevator to the tea room.
Aid of Police Invoked.
The news spread quickly that there
would be a street meeting at Mrs. Bel
mont's limousine as soon as the clerks
were released. Gimbel representatives
went to the sidewalk and the aid of
the police was invoked. The officers
stopped the circulation of pamphlets
by the suffragists and made the Bel
mont car move farther along Thirty
second street.
‘‘laise your job?” cried Mrs. Boiss^
valn. “What if you do? The public
stands back of you. \Ve stand back of
you. Those poor, little, half-nourished
foreigners, who could barely speak
our language, hore all sorts of hard
ships to get what they wanted in the
shirtwaist strike, and they won out.
You can do the same."

HATES CONVICT COMPETITION
Garment Manufacturers Say They
Cannot Compete With Factories
Which Use Prisoners.
Chicago, Nov. 19.—A protest against
prison labor in the manufacture of
shirts, pants and overalls was expect
ed to be the chief bomb to be touched
off by the National Association of
Garment Manufacturers, which met
for a two days’ convention. It will be
urged that garment manufacturers
throughout the country cannot profit
ably compete with prison-manufac
tured goods. Steps probably will be
taken looking to the elimination of
this phase of work from the penal in
stitutions of the country.
The National Association of Gar
ment Manufacturers comprises the
leading makers of shirts, trousers and
overalls in the United States. The as
sociation employs approximately
150,000 men, has $20,000,000 invested
in fixed capital and markets merchan
dise to the value of $50,000,000 annual
ly. One hundred and fifty of the lead
ing garment makers of the country
were present at the first session.
Killed by Street Car.
St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 19.—Mary My

'llESURELT LOOT MAIL CUR
METHODS RESEMBLE THOSE OF
EARLIER ONE.
Single-Handed, the Robber Binds and
Gags Three Mail Clerks—
Flees Safely.
San Francisco, N'ov. 19.—Deputy
sheriffs took up the hunt for a polite
bandit who single-handed robbed the
mail car of the Southern Pacific's
Shore Line Limited, en route from
San Jose to this city, bade three mail
clerks, whom he had bound and
gag od, a pleasant ‘good night" and
disappeared in the darkness after
rilling registered mail pouches.
The robber entered the side door of
(he mail car as the train pulled out of
San Jose, drove the clerks into a cor
ner of the car and then bound each
separately. After tying a sack over
each man's head he began slashing
mail pouches, pausing now and then
to whistle and joke with his helpless
victims. The robber jumped from the
train as it reduced speed upon enter
ing the yards here.
The method used by the bandit was
precisely that of the man who held up
the mail car c.f a Southern Pacific
train a few weeks ago, and detectives
believe the same man handled both
jobs.
