WASHINGTON, Oct. 20. orCciul
rcjorts received here today indicated
thnt the Mexican nntier.a! convention
nt Aguan Calientcs would would to
day or tomorrow dcMe General
Cnrranzn as firnt chief nnd substi
tute a provisional president.
American Consul Silliman reported
he was reliably informed of General
Currnnza's intention to retire under
condition thut no objection woidd be
interposed to his candidacy nt a reg
ular electron and thnt the tenure of
the provisional government should bo
short.
Officials here believe that while
Carrunxn refused to take the initi
ative in submitting his resignation, he
would abide by the convention's de
cision, should it vote, to retire him.
Evidence of that wa contained in
official advices which reortcd mak
ing no extrnordiuury military prep
arations. Conflicting reports bad been re
ceived by the stafc department ns to
Cnrranza's attitude.
While no confirmation has been re
ceived 01 reported iiistnrbanees in
Mexico City,' official nf vices told of
a general ordqr by Carranza depos
ing mudy commanders who were Villa
adherents in the Convention nnd ap
pointing others in'tlieir plnee. Simi
lar! a decree Va issued by Car
'muzn, informing al' chiefs throu.i--out
ilio-rcptiulib that he was'still first
chief arid to obey only orders from
him. The convention has discussed
that in secret sessiou, but no report
of the result of its deliberations hn8
been received.
The war department todav received
from Colonel Hatfield, commanding
American troops on the Arizona bor
der, n message saying Governor Moy
torenn of Sonora was "slowly and
reluctantly, and the Vaqui IndiniiR
were definutlv leaving Xaeo."

Suit for Dissolution of Steel Trust
lares Combine's Record of Con
trolling Prices Raised Prices in
United States to Sell at Less
Abroad.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 2C.-1
Further argument designed to show
hwy tho United States Stcol corpora
Hon should bo disintegrated on the
ground that It is an unlawful trust,
as charged by tbo government, was
mado in tbo United States district
court today. Henry E. Colton, spe
cial assistant to tho attornoy general
on tho government's dissolution suit
against tho big steel concern and its
subsidiaries, was tho first speaker.
It Is expected arguments will not
como to an end until lato tomorrow.
Maintained Price
Mr. Colton royerted to the al
leged maintenance ot uniform prices
of steel products for long periods
after tho formation ot the atjgilfJK
poration. Tho government, (jlapapas
that 4ho uniform prices' Biasatahied
by tho Btecl corporatloa aad inde
pendents waa ono of tho results ot
the Gary dinner in Xew York at
tendeiVby a majority ot the Iron and
steel manufacturers ot tho United
States.
Mr. Colton argued that the wlt
neseg tho government had called and
tho document's It had presented in
evidenco clearly proved that the steel
corporation took tho lead In having
tho dependents go nlong with. It in
keeping up prices. In answer to tho
argument of tho defense that prices
have not been uniform, especially In
tho last fo.w years, Mr. Cojtoa re-'
plied' that the government docs not
contend that priceB havo been con
sistently maintained since the govern
ment filed its suit three years ago
and congress, through tho Stanley
committee, began Its Investigation
Into the steel corporation's opera
tlons.
For Foreign Benefit
While on the subject ot uniform
prices as an indication as non-com
pctltlve conditions In tho steel lu
dustry, Mr. Colton said tho steol cor
poration sold products In foreign
markets at prices greatly lower than ,
In the United States, the defenso, ho
said, contended that It was only tho
surplus product that waa so disposed
of lu foreign countries.
Mr. Colton said tho fact thnt tho
steel corporation sold Its surplus at
a reduction In tho foreign markets
was an Indication lhat tho corpora
tion Intended to keep up oxcesslvo
prices at homo. It the corporation
had been honest with tho public, Mr.
Colton said, It would have dlsposou
ot Its surplus product lu tho Unitod
States at tho lower prices.
