HITCHCOCK TO HOLD OUT Effort Will Bo Made to Leave Sub ject to Party Conference Re publicans Preparing to Sub mit Bill ot Their Own. WASHINGTON. Nov. 9. 8enators Owens, Shafroth, Pomertne and Hollis, the four Democrats who found it Im possible to put the Administration cur rency bill through the Senate banking committee, worked today on a report on the bill to be submitted to the XJemocratio conference of the Senate Wednesday. The report will recommend the bill virtually as It came from the House, with only minor amendments and changes of phraseology. The four Sen ators will endeavor to secure the sig natures of Senators Reed and- O'G-or-xnan to the report. Reed and O'Gor man have opposed many features of the Administration bill in committee and have sought to prevent action on the bill by the Democratic caucus. It Is practically certain Senator Hitch cock, whose views differ widely from those embraced In the Administration bill will stand out to the end. Outcome la Problematical. There Is some question whether the Senate committee will continue to struggle for an agreement or will leave the entire question to be settled by the conference. The latter course probably will be recommended by the Adminis tration Senators, but they may experi ence difficulty In inducing the other majority committee members to sus pend work. The Republican members at any rate will continue efforts to perfect a bill and will report a completed measure to the Senate, where It Is expected the fight against the Administration bill Will be long and sharp. The Republican members of the com mlttee have taken a stand, as ex pressed yesterday by Senator Nelson, that "If the President la spoiling for a light, he can have It." The Republicans will Include those amendments written into the House bill tentatively by the Senate commit tee. These-are the changes that finally resulted In the deadlock which caused the calling of a Democratic confer ence. A small number of regional banks, fewer than four, owned by the public, and controlled by the Govern ment, Issuing currency based on com mercial paper and mobilizing the re serves of the banks throughout the country, will be the basis of the Re publican bill. Reed Favors Publicity. Senator Reed, of Missouri, announced tonight that when the Senate commit tee met tomorrow he would move that In future all of Its sessions for con- ftlArflttnn nf tha itnrponfiv Kill i a triAn to the press. He said furthermore that he proposed to make an effort to have the newspaper men admitted to the Democratic! conference Wednesday. Mr. Reed declared his efforts to per fect the pending bill had been misrep resented; that he had been made to ap pear In the light of opposing the Ad ministration and that he wanted the public to know Just what was going on In the committee. NO QUARTER IS SHOWN WARFARE 1ST MOSTEREY IS WAGED WITHOUT MERCY. Dead Left In Streets or la Ruin of Buildings General Miguel Burned In Own Home. LAREDO, Tex., Nov 9. Warfare Without quarter, the opposing armies burning and dynamiting official and business buildings and railroad prop erty has been waged at Monterey, Mex., between the defending Federals and the sieging Constitutionalists. The unre mitting fierceness of the struggle, par. tlcularly In the engagement of Octo ber 23-24. when the Constitutionalists occupied a large portion of the city, is pictured in Zig Zag, an illustrated weekly published at Monterey, copleB f which reached Laredo today. Many dead were left In the streets until a lull In the fighting should af ford time for burning the bodies. A view of Cuauhtemoc street, near the National Railway Station, where the conflict centered, showed an entire block destroyed by fire and cannonad ing, with numerous bodies within the ruins. General Miguel was burned to death when Constitutionalists destroyed his house by fire. Constitutionalists captured the bar racks of the First Federal battalion and used It for an arsenal, but lost It when a Federal torpedo wrecked the building, killing many rebels. The north facade of the Governor's palace was shot away. The property loss was said to be enormous. The railroads say their damage will amount to $7, 000.000. In the yards 658 cars, many loaded with merchandise, were burned. The roundhouse and more than 20 engines were destroyed. The loss of life was heavy. ' APPLE DAY IS NATIONAL Entire Country Joins Celebration, Letters Snow. Letters received at the Portland Commercial Club indicate that the plans for the observance of Apple Day, No vember 18, are increasing steadily In scope, and that It Is to be, not a North western, nor a Paclfio Coast matter, but a National event. Leading hotels throughout the United States have fallen in with the idea launched by Peter Kuehnllng, manager of The Dalles Hotel, and the traveling and hotel-dwelling public all over the United States on November 18 will pay tribute willy-nilly to the apple, for It Is to be made the Alpha and Omega: the preface, text and appendix of the dinner and luncheon menus. Practically all Portland restaurants and hotels will use apples on their menus, and the Commercial Club and several other prominent clubs of the city are planning upple menus for the occasion. Hotel periodicals and many news papers throughout the country have Joined In the movement, atyj it Is the opinion of the heads of the promotion bureau of the Commercial Club that the apple, and the Oregon apple In par ticular, will receive more attention and advertisement this year than at any previous time. . . - I " f f ' ' t f GENERAL VEXUSTIAXO CAKRAHZA. HUERTA TO HOLD ON Diplomats Told Dictatorship Will Be Continued. NEW CONGRESS TO STAND Direct Statement Made That Body win Be Installed In Few Days and Later Will Make Call for Another Election. MEXICO CITY, Nov. 9. In a formal note to the foreign diplomats. Gen eral Huerta, after calling attention to the efforts he had made to pacify the country and dwelling at length on his reasons for dissolving congress, makes the direct statement that the newly elected congress will be installed with in a few days and will pass on the elections of the president and vice president. General Huerta reminds the diplo mats that prior to the elections he told them that neither he nor General Blanquet would accept an election, on the ground that his own election would be Illegal, and he calls to the attention of the diplomatic representatives the conference which he had with the presidential candidate, at which he ob tained their promise to abide by tne result of the eloctions, even should no one obtain the necessary number of votes. Dictatorship to Continue. "Now In view of the fact, according to the reports which the government has received," continues the note, "that there exists an earnest presumption that, because it has been impossible to carry on voting in the number of polling places prescribed by the law. the elections fall to be considered a true manifestation of the will of the people, and because it Is foreseen that said presidential elections will be de clared null, the executive wishes to make known once more to the country and the whole world that In accord with this determination he shall con tinue exerting himself for the pacifica tion of the country in 'order to be able to guarantee absolute freedom and efficacy In ths new elections which congress must call as a necessary con sequence of that declaration. In. the same manner he wishes to make known once more to his friends and those outside the republic per suaded that by virtue of his having occupied the post of President for the republic while the elections were be ing held, he considers himself consti tutionally impeded from being validly elected and he will on no account take into consideration the vote which may have been cast In his favor, and no matter what may be the resolution of Congress he will not accept in this case the constitutional Presidency, of the re public Congress to Designate Limit. "He hopes to be able to fulfill easily within the period which Congress shall designate his sacred duty, consulting the national desire to consecrate by the suffrage of the people the execu tive who Is to rule definitely the des tinies of the country. Otherwise the realization of the executive's pro gramme would not be possible within a long period of time. "This programme consists of peace and legality, which are the only me dlums In which elections may become an expression of the popular will and in which the individual, native as well as foreign, may enjoy 'full guarantees. Only under such conditions can the eco nomic developments in the republic per mit all social ' classes to gather the fruits of their labor and the product of their capital." MEXICAN CLIMAX NEAR ( Continued Prom First Fags.) ident of the United States, is Ignorant of the Intentions of his chief. If Gen eral Huerta is anxloua regarding what may develop, he does not betray it. Al though he'has sent to the diplomatic representatives of the foreign nations a note, which In effect is a defiance of Washington, he was conspicuous In the cafes about town tonight after the midnight hour and Indulged today In relaxation In the company or his milt tary friends. In his formal statement to the diplomats General Huerta said It was now foreseen that the recent elections were void, as too few precincts had participated In the voting and that therefore the new Congress would an nul the elections. New elections would then be called and he would continue his programme of pacification. More uneasiness is apparent at the American Embassy than at the . na tional palace. At the palace the opln Ion was freely expressed, not infre quently accompanied by sneers, that the 4 , 0 United States would never Intervene in Mexico. Mr. Llnd is fully cognizant of the delicate situation and awaits with keen interest word from President Wilson and Secretary Bryan, but today he received only assurance that the President was Interested in certain de velopments and a request that he con tinue his observations. Mr. Llnd expressed the view that this waiting policy would not be continued many days. It is known here that he has recommended that all diplomatic negotiations with Mexico be termi nated. At the American Embassy It Is re garded as logical that Washington, perhaps tomorrow, will furnish vital developments In the relations between the two countries. This assumption is based on the Washington note to General Huerta, in which Huerta Is as sured that refusal to comply with the American demands will result in Pres ident Wilson's applying to Congress for power to use sterner methods and the threat to place a time limit on Huerta's continuance in office. It Is considered that President Huer ta's open note to the diplomats will make it Impossible for Washington longer to withhold the exact character of Huerta's reply, which was made last week, and that this publicity will make some more definite step necessary im mediately. Opinion In Mexico Is widely divergent as to what Washington's attitude will be. In some quarters it Is thought that President Wilson may recommend neither Intervention nor direct assist ance of the rebels, by means of recog nition of their belligerency, but that he may issue a note to the powers, set ting forth that hereafter the United states win regard jviexico as a non- existing nation and repudiate all her acts. Of these three courses the Mexican officials most fear perhaps the latter two, realizing that either would ma- terialy strengthen the rebel cause. In tervention, It is believed by a majority of those in the capital, foreigners as well as Mexicans, would be much more merciful and humane a method of re storing order. This argument is based by those who advance it on the assumption that the government would bring Into the capi tal a iorce suniciently large to defend It for many weeks, and the besiegers would include not only the elements of the northern rebellion, but thousands of adherents of Zapata, notorious for their cruelties and barbarism. Although Mr. Llnd appears not to have made much progress toward alter ing the opinions of the British Minister, Sir Lionel Carden, his relations with the German Minister seem to be much closer. Admiral Paul von Hintze. the German Minister, was the guest of Mr. Llnd at luncheon today. PLEA FOR DEMOCRACY MADE Mexican Diplomat Says Continuance of Dictatorship Is Absurd. LONDON, Nov. 10. Miguel Covarru- bias, who recently resigned as Mexican Minister to Russia because he was out of sympathy with President Huerta's policy, arrived in London yesterday. He contributes a two-column statement on Mexico's history to the Telegraph. benor Covarrubias declares the elec tion of Francisco Madero to the Presi dency was the glorious dawn of de mocracy In Mexico and at present nothing could be more absurd than the idea of Mexico's again submitting to a military dictatorship. "General Huerta." he continues, "per haps will understand some day that the only possible method of governing Is to act for the people through the people. A new light has dawned and the dem ocratic ideals, seen In their full effect at the doors of their country, are deep ly rooted in the hearts of the Mexican people." He notes that the Madero and Car ranza revolutionary movements have been more acute in the North than in the South that is. In the region in con tact with true democracy, and asserts that even If it were possible to estab lish a strong military government, such an enormous standing army would be needed that the total revenues of Mexico would not be sufficient for Its maintenance. In fact the only way to stop the revolutions which so seriously injure foreign enterprises Is to estab lish a true democratic government and for this reason foreigners who by their propaganda favor an impossible gov ernment for Mexico are putting in Jeopardy their most legitimate inter ests.

MERE HANDFUL NOW LEFT Roosevelt Followers In Former Hot bed Xow in Fourth Place and Outranked by Socialists, as Records Show. OMAHA, Nov. 9. (Special. When Senator Norris, ot Nebraska, elected as a "Bull Moose, deserted that party. Issued a statement to Nebraska Pro gressives that the . organization of a third party was a mistake and returned forthwith to the ranks of the Repub lican party, he dealt the Roosevelt forces In Nebraska a disintegrating blow. Some may return to the fold of the party whence they came and others may enter the Democratic ranks. It Is believed to be practically the end of the Progressive party In Nebraska. The break came when Senator Nor ris went to Massachusetts to campaign for the Republican candidate, Gardner. This action so Incensed Nebraska Pro gressives that several of them got to gether and sent a long telegram to Norris, In which, they demanded an ex planatlon of his conduct In supporting Gardner when a member of their own party was a candidate for the same office. Norris answered so quickly that he took the wind out of his Nebraska compatriots. "I'm not married to the Progressive party, he said curtly. Then the Senator went on to say that in his belief the formation of a third party Was an unnecessary move and was. in fact, a bad mistake. The Nebraska Bull Moosers stood aghast. There was little remaining of the Progressives in Nebraska even before Norris left the party. In some quar ters that is being given as the reason of the withdrawal of the Junior Sena tor. A year ago Omaha was a hotbed of the party and a large vote was polled. According to the last registra tions the party has fallen to almost nothing. Norris probably saw the ten dency and thought to "get from under" while there was yet time.

Efforts were made by some of the Administration leaders immediately after foreign protests were received to have Congress repeal the provision.

"xpense of Keeping; Records Said to Be Greatly Increased Without Benefit to Men. CHICAGO, Nov. 9. (Poecial.) Laws in various states throughout the coun try regulating the time and manner of payment of railroad wages are a detri ment to both employes and railway companies, according to Arthur B. Jones, treasurer In Chicago of the Chi cago & Northwestern Railway. In a statement containing a plea for a concerted movement to stop the pas sage of such statutes and repeal those already passed, Mr. Jones points out that a law passed at the last session of the Illinois Legislature requiring rail roads to pay their employes in this state at least twice a month has added $220,000 to the yearly expenses of the roads for the. keeping of time, compu tation of wages and Issuance of pay checks. If this law were enforced throughout the United States, he says, the cost to the carriers annually would be $2,125,000. "Notwithstanding the cost, direct and Indirect, such legislation might be wise if It brought the employe a Blngle benefit," says Mr. Jones. "On the con trary, however, practically all obliga tions the country over are adjusted to a monthly settlement basis, and, there fore, the monthly payment of wages more nearly meets the requirements of employes. "Frequent payments promote im providence, and those who are extrava gant and inclined to wrongdoing follow their bent with - greater ease, being harmed financially and morally. I II IDEAL i i 9 I I .
