VOLUME 11, NO. 174. SAID HUERTA WILL RESIGN Rumors to That Eif:ct Cur- rent at Mexico City. IS~ UNCERTAIN FUTURE Whether United States Embassy Is to Remain or Be Immediately With- drawn Appears to Be Unknown to Even the American Charge. Mexico City, Nov. 18.—The report is current that General Huerta .intends to resign on the convening of congress in regular session on Thursday. It was based on the aulleged declaration of a member of the new chamber of deputies. None of the newspapers, whether published in English or Spanish, pub- lished more than the briefest dis- patches touching the situation. In none was indication given of the in- tentions of Washington toward Mexi-| co. Whether the United States embas- 8y Is to remain or be immediately withdrawn appears to be a matter of which Nelson O'Shaughnessy, the American charge d’affaires, himself is uncertain. The stal i the embassy is ready to leave at a moment’s no- tice. There was considerable gossip in political circles o the Mexican cal liano Blanquet, the minister of war, s said to have had a misunderstand- g with President Huerta which may cause him to leave his post. With the departure of Manuel Gar za Aldape, late minis| i i rior, foreigners here feel that the cabi net has lost one cof its most level headed members, an official moderation could be depended upon. His sucdessor has not yet been caosen. rther changes in HUERTA IS GOING AHEAD Considers Correspondence With the United States at an End. Mexico Ci! erta regards h! , Nov. 18.—General Hu- part in the recent ex- change of communications with the United States finished. He ex- pects to find no difiicuity in consum mating his plan to bring his new con- gress to full organization shortly and he continues planning his military campaigns and carrying out his poli- cles of pacification. What furtber move may be taken at Washingten is a question -which neither the Mexicans nor the foreigners here find an easy one to answer, but there is noticeably an increasing ex- pression of opinion that the United States would continue her ‘“hands off” policy. This was not a predomi-| nating belief, but those who expressed | 1t pointed out that there was an ele- ment at Washington which would be contented to see the federals and Constitutionalists play their own game to the finish, the recent taking of Juarez by the rebel forces being cited as perhaps an encouragement of such a disposition at Washington. It is reported unofficially that Chi- huahua has been captured. The war department, however, has little in- fcrmation regarding the military oper- ations, especially those in the North, in which the rebels are said to be victorious. The situation about Tux- pam, the center of the oll industry, e described as acute. The rebels are urging the foreigners to cap their wells and leave them, as the rebels don’t propose to leave an unrestricted supply of fuel oil for the railroads nor to enable the government to derive revenue from that source. The exodus of foreigners, especially Americans, continues. The trains to Vera Cruz are jammed. It is assert- ed at the American embassy that no new instructi been received. REBELS CONTINUE T0 SHOOT PRISONERS Federals Taken at Juarez Ex- ecuted by Gapiors. Riw El Paso, Tex., Nov. 18.—The execu- tion of federal prisoners begun by “Pancho” Villa when he captured the city of Juarez is not ended. According to Villa’s lientenants many more federal officers and sol- diers of the federal volunteer army will face firing squads. Only the lives of enlisted men in the federal regu- lars will be spared, and then only on condition that they take the oath to support the Constitutionalist cause and enlist in the rebel ranks. The most important executions were those of Juan Cordova, chief of the Juarez secret police, and Pablo Ebave, a police official. “These were peculiarly atrocious. Neither of the men was blindfolded, according to wit- uesses, and both were marched to the ceremony, where open graves had been dug. The men stood at one end of the graves and when rebel soldiers fired the bodies fell into the holes and were immediately covered up almost before life had ceased. Ebave's wife pleaded piteously with Villa to spare her husband’s life, but he refused.

Bemidji is not a small town attraction, and it is only because of the burning of the Fargo opera house that Ralph Lycan, president of the Athletic club, was able to arrange for the bringing of the troupe to this city. The play will be presented in Duluth at the Lyceum following the performance here, and will be the Minneapolis Metropolitan attraction Thanksgiving week. Reserved seats for the show are now on sale at Netzers and already many have been taken. The seats of the first two rows sell for $1.50, the balance of the main floor one dollar and the bal- cony seventy-five cents. The Billings Gazette says: “Thost who attended the Babcock last night and heard Julius Velie sing in “Freckles,” Neil Twomey’s drama- tization of Gene Stratton-Portewr’s novel, enjoyed a rare treat. He sang himself into the hearts of an audience that filled the house and his acting of the boyish character was unusually pleasing. He carries a rich Irish brogue throughout the play. Mrs. Duncan, a character part, was excellently carried throughout the play. The part of the “Swamp Angel” was all the name implies. The “Bird ‘Woman” was well received by the au- dience and the other characters also —every member of the cast—contrib- uted to a genuinely enjoyable produc- tion. -{the Standard Oil and Tobacco deci- .

SESSION TO BE BUSIEST IN YEARS Congressman Tavenner says Most Am- bitious Legislative Proram Sinee Civil War Being I.mld Out. HAVE KEPT PLATFORM PLEDGES Trust Laws Will Be First and Fore- most in Importance—Will Ald Farmers By Credit System. | By Congressman Clyde H. Tavenner. ‘Washington, November 18.—Ald signs now indicate that the coming regular session of Congress, which begins December 1, will not only be the busiest, but probably the most important session since the Civil War. A most ambitious legislative pro- gram is being laid out, with the chances that some of the most im- portant measures of recent decadles will become law before adjournment. The same celerity which passed the drastic tariff law and made a long start in the new banking bill in the single special session, will be con- tinued by the President and Congress in carrying out other promises of the Baltimore platform. For years the people have been demanding these reforms which the - present govern- ment is giving them. A glance over the prospects’ shows that the-Dem- ocratic party expects to go before the people next-fall not to remew pro- mises but with a record of promises kept. First and foremost in importance will be the trust legislation. What form this measure will finally take no man can now predict. The Committees of Congress will hold ex- haustive hearings and listen to the testimony of hundreds of experts be- fore drafting a bill. But it seems certain that the Sherman law will be strongly reinforced. There is a jtremendous sentiment in Congress those found guilty of violating the Sherman law. Congress will proba- bly try to put back into the law the strength of which it was robbed by sions. It is possible that the bill will follow the proposal of Louis D. | Brandeis, of Boston, for regulated compition by means of a great feder- al commission, standing to industry as the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion _stands to railroads. There will be a movement, too, to abolish the holding company, the financial device which made trusts possible. Related to the trust legislation will be other legislation controlling the Money Trust. It seems certain {that a bill will be passed prohibit- ing interlocking diréctorates and by other methods dispersing the control of meney and credit by a few men in | Wall Street.
