MEXICO CITY, November 10.—The Tound-up of the rebels who have menaced the power of President Obregon has now snuffed out the life of Gen, Juan Carrasco, leader of the rebellious factions along the west coast and particularly In the state of Binaloa. He was killed yesterday, together with seven of his men, in a battle with federal forces at Guamuchilito in the state of Durango. Not long ago It was understood that Carrasco was attempting a union with Gen. Murgula, the rebel leader who was captured and executed last week. Federal Troops Surprive Rebels. The announcement of the passing of Carrasco came to the war office last night from Gen. Juan Torres, federal commander {n the Durango region. The government soldiers sur- prised Carrasco, and the remnants of his band of thirty-five men quickly scattered after a sanguinary en- counter, in which several were killed and five were taken prisoner along with a quantity of military supplies. Federal troops are pursuing those wio away. C . Torres reported that is casualties in the combat amounted to only two Injured. Government officials had reckoned Carrasco as the most serious obstacle to peace in northwestern Mexico. Frequently of late there came reports of his men holding up Southern Pi cific trains operating from Mazatlan to the border. Depredations wrought by Carrasco have Jong been a constant embarrassment to the government. Aguillar Belng Sought. Gen. Candido Aguilar, son-in-law of former President Carranza, and a well known rebel, is now being sought by the federal forces. The newspapers have reported him operat- ing In the state of Vera Cruz during the past few days with a.small force of men. Dispatches last night from Jalapa, Vera Cruz, to the newspaper Excelstor said Aguilar was seen with six men yesterday at Banderilla, ten kilometers from Jalapa, hot-footing it for the mountains, with the federals in pursuit.

Beverly Moffett, 4, Collects From Cabinet Officers for Red Cross. Becretary of the Navy Denby and Attorney General Daugherty were yesterday “held up” and relieved of enrollment fees In the sixth annual roll call of the American Red Cross by little Miss Beverley Moffett, four- year-old daughter of Rear Admiral and Mrs. William A. Moffett. “Have you answered the Red Cross roll call?" asked Beverley as she walked Into the Navy Secretary's of- floe yesterday. When informed that he hadn't, Secretary Denby found before him a blank and was told to sign on the dotted line. It was then necessary that he take the youngest Red Cross worker on his knee in order that he recelve the button signifying he had helped the cause. Attorney General Daugherty was so convinced by Miss Beverley of the im- portance of the drive that he not only @ave her a crisp new one-dollar biil ‘which enrolled himself, but an addi- tional $5 with the instructions that five of her friends be enrolled in the movement with his contribution. Beverley has voluntarily refused to make any social engagements for the next few weeks, explaining that she “has to go down to her office every @ay” as she is “Red Crossing.” GRACIE SUIT DISMISSED. ‘Widow to Appeal Verdict in Con- test Over Will. Following the recent verdict of a jury, Chief Justice McCoy of the Dis- ot Supreme Court today dismissed the suit of Mrs. Constance Schack Gracle, widow of Col. Archibald Gracie, against her son-in-law, Dunbar B. Adams of New York, to establish an alleged lost will of her daughter, Edith Gracle Adams. Mrs. Gracle noted an appeal to the Court of Appeals. The estate is valued at $150,000, and, in the absence of & will under the York law, went to the husband, who was made administrator by the court. Mrs. Gracle claimed that her daughter had made a will naming her as sole beneficlary, and that the will had been destroyed. . The trial justice held that she falled to make out a case, and di- rected the jury to render a verdict against her claim. Attorneys Hannis Taylor and Hannis Taylor, jr., appear for the widow, while the eon-in-law was represented by At- torney E. A. Chase. i GIVES MUSIC PROGRAM.

It is thought by House leaders that the President, early in the extraordi- nary sesslon, If not in his address at the opening, will submit suggestions for the amendment of the transporta- tion act, In recognition of the wide- spread demand for changes in the existing law. The Senate has a large calendar of bills to work upon while the' House is_preparing legislation for its con- sideration. The Dyer anti-lynching bill is before the Senate, having pass- ed the House and strong pressure will be brought for prompt action upon it. President Harding, it is said in offi- clal circles, will send to the Senate on the first day of the session the nomination of an assoclate justice of the Supreme Court to flll the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. Justice Day. ‘Women in House. One of the first acts of the House and Senate s expected to be the pass- age of a resolution retiring Mr. Justice Pitney of the Supreme Cotirt, whose health is so impaired as to cause his friends to despair of his resuming his duties. This will afford another vacancy to be fllled by the President at an early day, as no ob- jection to the passage of the resolu- tion is expected. ‘Walter F. George, successor of the late Thomas E. Watson of Georgia, will take his seat at this session. If the recount in Delaware confirms the election of Thomas F. Bayard for the unexpired term of J. O. Wolcott he will also appear. In the House two women will be present, Miss Alice Robertson of Oklahoma and Mrs. Winnifred M. Huck, who was elected last Tuesday to fill the unex- pired term of her father, the late ‘Willlam E.

GUATEMALA CITY, Guatemala, No- vember 10.—It soon will be possible CONSUMERS WNT ADKINS RENAMED Resolutions Approve yéhai - manship of D. C. Minimum Wage Board. Resolutions asking the District Commissioners to reappoint Jesse C. Adkins as chairman of the minimum wage board of the District of Colum- bla were adopted at today's session of the twenty-third annual meeting of the National Consumers’ League, at the New Natlonal Museum. The resolutions expressed approval of the chairmanship of Mr. Adkins. Other resolutions adopted today call- ed for an Inquiry into conditions in- jurifous to workers in dry cleaning establishments and also Into danger ous conditions in_ potteries. The league agnin adopted reso- lutions u;\provlm: the Rogers bill to prevent and punish the misbrand- ing of goods. Resolutions were adopted asking the co-operation of all local branches of the league in promoting the enactment of the McCormick bill, which would enable the child labor law to be constitu- tional. The Ipague approved the Dyer anti-lynching bill. ‘At the morning session the league set forth two proposed aots, which it will fight to get adopted by the states, instead 'of the - so-called “blanket equality” bill of the Natlon- al Woman's Party. One proposed act concerns the earnings of married wdmen, and the other concerns the guardianship of the persons and property of minor children and the right to their services and earnings. Married Woman's Earnings. The act concerning the earnings of married women was phrased as fol- lows: “A married woman may carry on any trade on her sole and sep- arate - account. The earnings and profits of any married Woman accru- ing from her trade, business, serv- ices or labor, other than labor for her husband or children. whether such trade, business, services or labor be conducted without the home or with- in the home and in connection with her domestic dutles, shall be her sole and separate property.” The other proposed act declares: “In all cases not otherwise provided for by law the father and mother, with equal powers, rights and duties, while living, and in case of the death of elther parent the survivor, or when there shall be no lawful father, then the mother, If living, shall be the natural guardian of their children and have the custody and care of their persons, ucation and estates; and when such ate is not derived from the parents acting as guardian, such parents shall give security and account as other guardians, and if such parents shall refuse or neglect to glve such bond the proper court, or Judge in vacation, shall appoint some competent person to take charge of and manage such property. “The parents of such minor child or children, acting as such natural guardian, shall be entitled to recelve and collect the earnings of such minors until they reach their ma- jority, and be liable for their sup- port to the extent of such earnings; provided, that this act shall not be construed as to exempt the father of such minors from liability for the support of his children.” To Be Jointly Urged. These state equalizing bills age to be jointly urged by organizations of women. Following their presentation to the league today, Mrs. Alice B. Baldridge of New York discussed them in detail, featuring the equal guardianship of children, the wife’s right to her earnings, and the equal right to earnings of .children¢and to sue for damages to childfen. The value of such laws were dls- cussed by Judge Kathryn Sellers of the Juvenile Court of the District. Miss Julia C. Lathrop, formally in- vited all women and their organiza- tions to help pass the bills. This afternoon -the -women are hold- ing a conference on why they oppose the blanket legislation, with Mrs Charles H. Sabin of the ‘Consumers’ League committee to oppose blanket bills presiding. The meeting will end tonight with a banquet at Rauscher’s, when speakers will discuss the fed- eral child labor amendment. NEWER ELEMENT - CREATES DOUBT IN HOUSE LINE-UP (Continued from First Page.) ham, judiclary; Griest, post office; Butler, naval affairs; McFadden, bank- ing and currency: Kiess, printing; Porter, foreign affairs; Edmonds, claims. The defeat of Representative Philip P. Campbell of Kansas, now chair- man of the rules committee, in the primaries has already assured that Representative Bertrand H. Snell of New York will be chfirman of this important committee if the senfority rule Is operative. Chairmanship Open. The defeat of Representative Thomas B. Dunn of New York by his democratic opponent leaves open the chairmanship of the committee on roads, with Representative Cassius C. Dowell of Iowa as successor to the title by seniority. An Interesting situation has arisen with respect to the cammittee on war claims, which at the present time promises to be an important committee in the next Congress. Representative Snell is chairman, but unless something unexpected happens he will become chairman of rules committee. Next in ine for chalrman is Ropresentative Benjamin K. Focht of Pennsylvania, who was eliminated in the primaries; then follows Repre- sentative Stuart F. Reed of West Vir- ginla, who will probably have to make his choice between that and chairman of the District committee. With the defeat of Representative Marion E. Rhodes of Missouri, now chairman of the committee on mines and mining, and the defeat of Rep- resentative Leonard S. Echols of West Virginia, who comes next under seniority rule, it seems probable that Representative John M. Robsion of Kentucky, familiarly known as “John M from Kingdom Come,” will be chairman of that committee. The defeat of Representative John Reber of Pennsylvania and the elimi- nation of Samuel S. Arentz of Nevada in the primaries for senator puts Representative John C. Speaks of Ohlo in line for chairman of the committee on mileage in his second term in Con- gress. The resignation of Representative Norman J. Gould of New York and the election of Representative Simeon D. Fess of Ohlo as senator seem to indicate that Representative Robert Luce of Massachusetts, under the seniority rule, will be chairman of the Housp library committee. 'K’Ml committee has jurisdiction over the National Botanic Garden. Oregonian Elevated. The _absence of Representative Moses P. Kinkald of Nebraska from the next Congress puts Representa- tive Nicholas J. Sinnott of Oregon up as chairman of the committee on irrigation of arid lands. The defeat of Representative Oscar E. Bland of Indiana, chairman of the committee on industrial arts and ex- positions, means that under the seniority procedure Representative Louis W.

Leatherwood of Utah is in line for chairman of the committee on expenditures on public bulldings. The election of Representative Simeon D. Fess of Ohio as senator leaves the way open for Representa- tive Horace M. Towner of lowa to become chairman of the committee on education. The defeat of Representative Wil- lam E. Andrews of Nebraska, now chairman of the committes on elec- tion of President, Vice President and representatives in Congress, and of Representative Edwin B. Brooks of Illinois, who ranks neft in seniority. leaves the way open for Representa- tive Hays B. White of Kansas to be- come chairman. The fact that Representative Isaac Siegel of New York has left Congress to accept a judgeship in New York probably means that Representative Louls W. Falrfleld of Indiana will have a choice between chairman of the census committee and of indus- trial arts and expositions, with the prospect that he will choose the former. In that event. with Ireland of Iilinois, Rurke and McLaughlin of | Pennsylvania, Ryan of New York and | Herrick of Oklahoma all gone, Rep- resentative Speaks of Ohlo wnuld! have the unusual distinetion of mak- | Ing his choice between two committee chairmanships in his second term. He would probably prefer to be chairman of the mileage committee | and in that event there is no re-| publican eligible under the seniority | rule for chairman of industrial arts and expositions, because bo'h Hogan of New York ami Maloney of Massa- chusetts have been eliminated. This is an illustration of how_ any con- | clusion with rerard to House or-; ganization of chairmanships is con- tingent on the adjustment of prefer- | ences and ‘dickering to best satisfy all interested parties. And_here is another good fllustra- tion: Representative Clifford Ireland, chairman of the committee on ac- counts, was. defeated in the primaries, as were also Representative A. P.| Nelson of Wisdonsin and Anderson ' H_Walters of Pennsylvanla, who ranked next. This brings Representa- tive Clarence Macgregor of New York up as prot~™' chairman of this important committes. 1) amn RAILWAY MAIL CLERKS PROTEST ON POLICIES Third Division Men Vote Recom- mendation to Deprive Assistant Superintendent of Authority. Protest against certain policles and orders which are alleged to cause much delay in the mails, and a recom- mendation _that Asst. Supt. James G Davis be deprived of authority in is- suing orders were voted at a meet- ing of railway mall clerks of the third division held at the Continental Hotel Wednesday night. Representatives from the four sur- rounding states were in attendance, and at the conclusion of the confer- ence coples of action taken were voted sent to the Postmaster General, the post office committees of the House and Senate and to the press. It was the unanimous belief of the assembled delegates that certain {:rncth‘e- and policies that have late- been inaugurated {n the third divi- sion “through the activity and rec- ommendations of Asst.

Her radio message read: “The national. woman's party f{s making history for the women of to- morrow. All discriminations against women must be removed.

Turkish representative, “has begun to take sounder views” and has of- fered to co-operate ‘with the allles in certaln administrative matters in the Constantinople region. But accord- ing to diplomatic news in the Daily Telegraph, the allled commanders are unable to take such offers serfously, as they are no sooner made at Con- stantinople than they are repudiated at Angora, . The various diplomats as yet have not agreed on what to do to get the near east peace conference at Lau- sanne started. The nationalists con- tinue to clamor for getting down to business on scheduled time next Monday, and the French apparently want to accommodate them, but the British feel a postponement is highly desirable. The text of Russia's reply to the invitation of the allles for the soviet plenipotentiaries to attend the Lau- sanne conference merely during the discussion of the_straits has been received here. It reiterates the views expressed by Foreign Minister Tchitcherin in his note of October 20, contending that the exclusion of ia from the whole conference proves the allies have decided to de- prive Turkey of the fruits of her victorfes. Proclaim Soviet as Mcflm The reply proclaims the soviet gov- ernment is in effect a sort of pro- tector of Asiatic nations, and Insists that the Moscow government and the governments of the Ukralne and of Georgla should be given full partici- ration at Lausanne. The Russian note demands a quick nswer, but it is stated here that fhie “allies most 1ikely will not send a reply to Moscow, leaving it up to Russia to attend the conference or stay away from it, as she wishes. Meanwhile, although Ismet Pasha apparently remains in Constantino- ple, Hamid Bey, Angora envoy there, has started for Smyrna with several legal and financial advisers. He will be jolned there, it is understood, by Ismet and other members of the dele- gation, and they will then go to Lau- ganne together. PLAN PARIS PARLEY. Poincare and Curzon Expected to Meet.

PARIS, November 10.—A confer- ence between Premier Poincare and Lord Curszon, the British foreign secre- tary, and Premier Mussolinl of Italy probably will be held In Paris the first of next week, it was indicated in offi- cial circles today. France has approved the meeting, provided it does not delay the opening of the Lausanne near east peace conference beyond November 15, ‘which date now seems probable for the formal start of the meeting. The conference of the allied leaders in Paris, if held as expected, will prob- ably last three days. The purpose would be to present a solid front at Lausanne on the chief peace terms. The French forelgn office was still unable this noon to name the definite time for the beginning of the Lausanne meeting, but expected to be able to do so before the day was over.

I see With considerable clearness how it will be to the material and moral interests of the United States to ex- amine European difficulties with other conceptions than those they have at present.” Clemenceau expects to enlarge his own judgment of European situations by putting his ideas into contact with American views. He does not go to New York with his mind made up and clesed as to what would mutual and_collective advantage of the United States, France and Europe generally. “I shall talk about the league of to offer,” he remarked. “I believe | the idea of the league. The worlg must have something of the sort. I do not say that the league as it now exists is what Americans should adopt. It does not satisfy me, but I am for the aspirations. Clemenceau has received immense quantities of advice from Americans as to what he should or should not say in his speeches. American trav- elers of distinction who have passed through Parls during the last two months have heaped some of this advice upon him, and others of no the burden upon his ears and eyes. i So have many Americans domiciled in France. Even those living in the Urited States—thousands of them— felt a strange impulse to admonish and guide the Tiger by their letters, and to warn him against the com- plexities of American politics. of the writers cautioned him not to be Indiscreet and vex the republicans. Others begged him not to disappoint the democrats. And of this flood of literature, Clemenceau has only this to say: Not to Meddle tn U.

The Tiger's health appears to be excellent and equal to the straln of travel and public speaking that is sure to come. After talking a while his volce seems to tire, but some of his French friends, who have listened to him recently, say that this is more of an appearance than a fact. He can really speak more than an hour without undue weari- ness. , | o Clemenceau is an early riser. Every day he spends an hour taking gym- nastic exercises.

Her declaration “that she found the {EIrl who is suing her a satisfactory | daughter-in-law_in every way’ was| the sensation of the day, especially | when the white-haired witness fol lowed it by succumbing to a fit of | faintness. She was helped from the room while court officials tried to re- store order among the hundreds of excited spectators who filled the benches, the standing room and the window' ledges of the court. She said she had met her son's wife once before the wedding. She had never seen her again, would not know her by sight and did not know where she or her family. the Stevens, lived. She said that to this day she does not know .where the Stevens house is situated. She was firm in this statement, although she was toid by counsel that the house in ques-| tion is next door to the Woodhouse { mansion. Denies Ald in Divorce Case. She said that she had not opposed her son's choice of Dorrit Steven as a wife, but had considered the young woman a “satisfactory daugh- ter-in-law.” “Do you still so constder her?” ask- ed Attorney Austen. “I do,” was the answer. Mrs. Woodhouse's testimony was a series of denials. She denied that she | ever knew of her son's engagement | to Mrs. Lilllan McClelland, beautiful | Washington society leader, or that| he made any effort to speed his| divorce, so that he could marry Mrs. McClelland. _ She denied that| ishe had ever been more than| socially friendly with Mrs. McClelland | or that she had ever discussed her | son’s marriage with her. Q. Did: you not think it an im- proper thing for Douglas to be in| Washington with that lady under the | circumstances? | A. I thought he was old enough to| {take care of his own affairs. Q Was nothing apparent to you that called for some suggestion. to jDouslas? & Did you know that at that time {your son was neither living with his wife nor supporting her? A. No. In direct contradiction to Douglas’ {deposition, in which he said that Mrs. iMcClelland had sold his _“loaned |diamond rings and given the money ito his mother, Mrs. Woodhouse said that she had never at any time re- | celved either money or diamonds. She also denied knowledge of any gifts made by her son to Mrs. McClelland. She said that she had no idea of the| extent of her husband's wealth or property or that she was in any way concerned in his business affairs.
