BACON BACKS
PRESIDENT IN
NiEXICOPLAN
Foreign Relations Com
mittee Head Says Peo
ple Will Approve.
NOT AFTER TERRITORY
Senator Replies to Intimation
That Administration Has
Intervention in View.
Washington, D. C, Nov. 3. A declar
ation that the policy of the administra
tion in the Mexican situation would
"meet the approval of the American
congress and the American people"
was made in the senate today by
Chairman Bacon of the foreign rela
tions committee. Bacon was speaking
of a letter read into the record by
Senator Bristow, who said he had re
ceived it from "a friend of 30 years'
standing" in Mexico. The writer urg
ed the United States to keep hands
off and allow the Mexican factions to
adjust their own difficulties; condemn
ed the neutrality policy which keeps
"thousands of American soldiers on
the Mexican border," and declared that
if the United States interv ened by mil
itary force it would mean "only con
quest and acquisition of Mexican ter
ritory by the loss of hundreds of lives
and hundreds of millions of money."
"I think I can assure the senate," !
said Bacon, "that nothing is further
from the thought of the .people or of
the officials of the United States than
conquest or acquisition of Mexican
territory. I can give assurances that
the matter is having most careful con
s'deration, and whatever may be done
will meet with the approval of the
Am"'1 ryflfffflfti fnH tha American
people.
HCERTiMl ST RETIRE. .
Though every 'dfc.cial of the United
States government has been cautioned
to maintain absolute silence while the
plans of the Washington administra
tion for solving the Mexican problem
are worked out, it became known
from many well-informed sources that
a supreme enort. is Deing maae 10
bring about Gen. Victoriano Huerta's
retirement from the provisional presi
dency. The success of any plan for a con
stitutional election that may be pro
posed, especially insofar as it would
contemplate participation by the con
stitutionalists, depends, in the view of
the United States government, on the
elimination of Huerta. Huera prom
ised to turn over the executive pow
er, after the election, and the Amer
ican government is now waiting for
some declaration on his part. Should
Huerta retire in favor of another, there
is a possibility that the United States
may attempt to compose the situation
through his successor. But if the elec
tions are declared invalid by Huerta
so that he may continue in power, the
Washington administration, it is point
ed out, would look upon such a procla
mation as an evidence of the incapac
ity of the provisional authorities to
conduct an election and might come ,
forth with definite proposals to assist
in rehabilitating the governmental ma
chinery of the country.
ARB BREAKI; IT (JENTLV.
Just now, the future po'.icy of the
United States is being quietly and in
formally made known in diplomatic
circles abroad and there are intima
tions that before many days foreign
governments generaHy will have
been apprised of the Ameri
can attitude. It is unlikely that
there will be any publication of
the American policy until Ejrope has
been formally sounded out. What the
United States desires, it is believed, is
that the powers sha'l Indicate their
support of its effort to solve the prob
lem, so that it may approach the Mex
ico City administration in a final re
port to secure the elimination of
Huerta.

MRS. PANKHURST
HEARD IN CHICAGO
Suffragette in Auditorium Ad
dress Says Women Are
Driven to Violence.
SHE DEFENDS MILITANCY
Declares the Battle for the Ballot Is
With the View of Banishing
Vice.
Chicago, 111, Nov. 3. Mrs. Emme
line Pankhurst told the story of the
militant suffragists in England yes
terday to 3,500 applauding Cbicagoans
at the Auditorium theatre, and added
approximately $2,000 to the "war fund"
to carry on the battle.
It was the militant leader's first pub
lic address before women who have
the right to vote. She was officially
welcomed to Illinois by Lieutenant
Governor O'Hara, who termed her "the
great general of humanity." Then he
stepped aside and Mrs. Harriette Tay
lor Treadwell, president of the Chicago
Political Equality league, introduced
the speaker.
For two hours Mrs. Pankhurst told
all the whys and wherefores of the
militancy of her English followers,
summing it up as a necessity and the
only way in which English women can
win their rights from the English gov
ernment. The speaker hailed Chicago as the
first great city to recognize the hor-
ors of the social evil and to try to
stamp it out. She said that vice con
ditions had in part necessitated the
fighting methods of militant suffragets.
She voiced her right to come to the
United States as an oppressed foreign
er, seeking aid.
XO DEMONSTRATION'.
Banners of many woman suffrage so
cieties hung from the balconies of the
theatre and in the boxes and upon the
stage practically all of Chicago's wo
man suffrage leaders listened to the
address. There was no scrambling
for seats, as at Mrs. Pankhurst's New
York lecture, and no demonstration ex-
cept applause. Following the exampu
of Lieutenant Governor O'Hara, the
entire audience stood as the militant
leader entered the theatre.
" I IV 162 fts -near the stage were Miss
Jane Addams, Mrs. Joseph T. Bowen,
Mrs. Grace Wilbur Trout, Mrs. Ray
mond Robbins and Mrs. L. Brackett
Bishop. Each was accompanied by
friends. Mrs. Antoinette Funk and
Mrs. Frank Funk occupied a box to
gether. The Socialist Women's league
had another. Miss Agnes Nestor and
other officers of the Woman's Trade
Union league sat near thom. Miss
Edith Abb'ott and Miss Sopbonisba
Breckenrldge were present.
CITY OFFICIALS ATTKXD.
Alderman Merriam was there, as
well as many other city officials. And
in the back of a distant box was Ray
mond Hitchcock, the actor and a group
of friends.
Mrs. Pankhurst confined the great
er part of her remarks to a discussion
of the social evil and asserted that its
existence more than anything else de
manded the enfranchisement of wo
men. At one point she leaned forward
and cried:
"You men lack moral courage. You
have solved the great industrial prob
lems of the world, but when it comes
to dealing with humanity you must ad
mit that you have failed." .
The audience applauded.
Following her lecture, Mrs. Pank
hurst offered to- answer questions.
Only once she evaded a direct answer.
She was asked If militant methods had
not endangered the lives of jockeys at
the English 'derby. Her answer was
that the Jockey who fell was only
slightly injured.
Throughout her address Mrs. Pank
hurst repeatedly said that human lives
were never threatened by women mili
tant "warriors."
FIfiHT IS 0 POLITIC I tX.
"We have gono through the stages
of persuasion and argument in Eng
land," said Mrs. Pankhurst. "The fight
is not with the men of the country,
for they are with us. It is against a
nanntui or politicians who will not
give us equal suffrage until they are
compelled. We are going to compel
them. Our women must either be kill
ed or enfranchised. We are teaching
the men 11 the world that women, like
men, can revolt.
"In our militant army nine-tenths

They are men and women who have

NO EFFORT TO RESUME
Employes Unable to Get to
Work, Factories Are Run
ning Short Handed.
Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 3. Up to
noon today no effort had been made
t resume street car -ervice, tied up
since Friday night by a strike of the
employes of the Indianapolis traction
and terminal company, although spe
cial police patrolled the district.
Strike breakers and crowds of strik
ers and sympathizers congregated near
the Louisiana street car barn and the.
company decided to keep the cars in
the barn. The crowd was orderly and
quiet, but Vemained on watch a block
from the barns.
Bankers, merchants and profession
al men are to guard the streets tonight
In order to prevent destruction of
street car property. The sheriff sum
moned 200 business men to report
for guard duty later in the day.
Clubs were used freely by the police
when an attempt was made to run
cars which stand on street corners into
the barns. Most of the factories are
shorthanded owing to inability of em
ployes to reach their places of busi
ness. In an attempt yesterday to rush the
Louisiana street car barns, where the
imported strikbreakers are quartered,
, Isaac Fleischer. 24, a strikebreaker,
i from Philadelphia, was fatally shot in
the neck and died on the way to the
city hospital. Fleischer was shot by
one ojl.tbe. msaiJa. the barn, whojyaB
was firing: into the crowd from a sec

shots were fired, but Fleischer was
the only one hit.
STRIKING SIOTORMAX WOUNDED.
Joseph Johnson, a striking motor
man was wounded by a policeman,
who shot into the crowd that surged
around the first car to be sent out.
Two cars were taken from the barns,
each filled with policemen, but, the
crowds packed around them so tightly
they could not be moved. Soon after
the shooting of Johnson they were or.
dered back to the barns.
Governor Ralston in a statement
again charged that, the city authorities
are not doing their duty In failing to
provide police protection. He refused
a request for state militia.
