LV.—NO. 264 PRICE TWO CENTS NONE OF HIS COTERIE TO BE HIS SUCCESSOR This Action to be Taken “Without Loss of Time”—Delivered to Huerta’s Private Secretary by American Charge Sun- day Night, But Has Not erta—Latfer Confers With Diplomatic Corps. Mexico City, Nov. 3.—President Huerta has been told he must resign the presidency of Mexico without less of time, and that he must not leave as his successor General Aureliano Blan- quet, his minister of war, or any other member of his official family, or of the unofficial coterie whom he might be gxpected to comirel. / This nltimatum from Washingion was sonveyed to President Huerta through his privaie secretary, Senor Rabago, by Nelson O’Shaughnessy, the American charge d'affaires, acting un- der instructions from the state depart- ment. No Reply from Huerta. Senor Rabago presented ithe memo- randum to his chief late Sunday, but up to this evening President Huerta had returned no answer, and, as far as ‘could be learned, had guarded its con- tents from almost all of his official and intimate counsellors. .Those who Jearned of the Washingion note regard Aseneral Huerta’s position as one in ‘which he will be forced to give one of itwo answers—refusal point blank to comply with the demand, possibly go- dng so far as to hand the diplomatic representatiye his passports, or the elimination of himself officially. Believe United States Partial to Rebels Those most intimate with the pregi- dent ingist that the latter course 1 not be taken for many reasoms, chief among which is that such action would be tantamount to submission to the rebels. Official Mexico is no longer in doubt that the Washington adi. tration favors the rebel cause and is convinced that this the means adopted by President Wilson and Sec-~ retary Bryan to assist Carranza to win.

Mrs. Cartwright thought, she said, the burns looked as though they had been caused by scalding. The so-called wet vack was involved in a long discussion of this phase of the case. Max B. Frankil, in addition to offer- ing testimony relating to alleged cruel treatment, said he would add that 86 percent of the male attendants at the Worcester State hospital drink or are hapitual drunkards. ima Foster testifled that she maw Rose Pompogrand dragged by the heels.

Lo St. Paul, Minn, Nov. 3—Hdward P. Grosvenor, concluding the first portion of his final argument for the govern- ment in the suit to dissolve the Inter- national “Harvester company, this af- ternoon, declared ‘to judges of the United States district court that unjess the “Harvester trust” is disintegrated two families within a vears will own a monopoly ef every implement made in this country for the American farmer. The special assistant to At- torney Generai MecReynolds certified Cyras McCormick and James Deering of Chicago as the heads of these fami- lies and characterized them as “willing to use their ‘great power to fix prices and intimidate local dealers, as means of crushing competition.” 40,000 Local Agents. Then, with dotted maps of the agri- cultural states of this. country, Mr. Grosvenor showed the location of 40,000 local agents or dealers which, he de- clared, is but a portion of the vast selling machinery dominated by the fn- ternational Harvester company. Through the medium of the general sales commitiee of the corporation, sald Mr. Grosvenor, acting directly through a district manager, the local dealer was forced to accept the dic- tates of the “trust” or be crushed. Also, the federal lawyer sald, the local dealer was used to keep the corpora- tion informed of competition. Approved Monopolistic Methods. “We have shown,” argued Mr. Grosvenor, “by evidence which cannot be disputed, that Cyrus McCormick, James Deering and Harold F. McCor- mick, acting as members of this gen- eral sales committes, have approved directly the monopolistic methods of the corporation’s managers Oor em- ployes, and in doing so we have estab- lished beyond any doubt the character of these people. And that character is such as to make it necessary for the courts to restrain them in the future to prevent the destruction of competi- tion and the entrepchment of monopoly by unfair methods. S Want to Break Laws to Expand. ‘“The answer of these defendants is solely the naming of an intent to ex- pand their forelgn business. Or, other words, they demand to be per- mitted to break the laws of this coun- try go that thelr business may ex- pend. That, I insist, is the suma and substance of their answer, and, as the court well knows, this i3 no justifica- tion.” DENIES COMPLICITY IN THE BROWN MURDER Lake Says Barr Involved Her for Revenge. Mrs, Dallas, Texas, Nov. §—Mrs, Ellie M. Lake, held as an accessory to the mur- der of Miss Florence Brown on the strength of assertoins made by Meade Barr, who has confessed to the killing, in a statement tonight denied that she had any part in or knowledge of the killing of the young woman and at- tributed Barr's attémpt to implicate er as an endeavor to be revenged for er refusal to accept his advances. These were made, she declared, before the death of her husband, which oc- curred a month ago. At the time Lake and his wife and Barr and Barr's sis- ter had apartments in the same hoyse, “I was Introduced to Barr about five menths ago,” Mrs. Lake said in her statement, Afterward Barr claimed he loved me. I resented his professiens and warned him not te enier my apart- ments unless my husband was there, He said then he would get even with me some day. That is the only reason 1 can give for his attempt to connect me with the killing of Miss Brown. ‘T deny mest emphatically that I ever gave him a pistel or weapon of any kind.” CANDIDATE BIRD MADE 526 SPEECHES.
