Washington, Nov. 0. Disquieting
Mexican news was believed to have
reached the administration today.
Immediately after reaching his office
Secretary of State Bryan rushed to the
presidont, carrying with him a bundle
of dispatches, which arrived during the
night. A long conference followed.
Bryan was asked, on bis way to the
chief executive's office, if it were true
that Huerta had told Charge d' Af
f aires O'Shaughenessy he must contin
ue in office, the people having failed
to elect a successor to him. To this
question the secretary roturned no re
ply. Huerta Bald to Have Defied U. S.
It was persistently rumored, howev
er, that Huerta had defied the United
States.
The secretary of state refused also
to discuss the report that William Bay.

ego, wns In communication with Gen
eral Carranza, the rebel leader, and
that the administration also had re

Outrages Are reared.
It was known that John Lind, ,in
Vera Cruz, and Charge d 'Affaires
O'Shaughnessy, In Mexico City, had re
ported to the state department that
Anti-Amorican fooling was Increasing
in the Mexican capital and Its vicinity.
It was bolievcd they gravelv fonrod
nti-Amerfenn outrages as a result of
the Hiiortlstarf bitterness against Pres

er's retirement.
Chairman Bacon, of the senate for
eign relations committee, called both
sit the White Hon so and the state de
partment. He could not speak of his
conversation with President Wilson and
Secretary of State Bryan, but it was
the general Impression that the presi

situation before congress.

The lifting of the embargo on the

John W. Hayes, secretary-treasurer
of tho International Typographical

meeting, In the absence of President
John W. Tobin, who is unable to attend
the convention. Hayes read Tobin 's
Report, in which tlie president said
the movement for a universal label was
the result of hastily formed conclu
sions, brought out by the investigation
which has been conducted since the
1912 session. Tobin urged that each
union try to popularize its label, and
support other label-owning organiza
tions. Would Be Boomerang.
Mathew Woll, president of the Inter
national Engravers' Union, and vice
president of the Label Trades depart
ment, stated that investigations made
on this subject showed that the addi
tion of a universal labol was impossi
ble owing to the laws of the country
covering labels, and that it would prove
a boomerang to labor under tho present
trade union system, for an employer
who hired union men In one branch, but
not In others, would claim the right to
use the label,

mittee, now considering the
Glass-Owen currency bill, $100,-

stock, bearing either 5 or 6 per

s ly under government control. De-
spite the fight waged by Senator

moving rogional banks from the
control of membors of banks was

government reserve board will
appoint six of the nine regional
hank directors instead of four,
thereby gfVi ng the government
control.
Washington, Nov. 6. An open break

proposed in the measure by the combi
nation of Democrats and Republicans
in control of tho senate banking and
currency committeo.
It was doclared in administration cir

recede from thoir stand.

"I bollove wo will have to take such
a step," said Simmons, "but we will
wait a few days, to see what the combi
nation, now apparently in control of
tho committee, will do."

Later In the day Bcnntnr Thompson,

Slaughter of
Jews is Feaxea
Prosecutor Insists "Kitual Murders"
Are Common and, Does His Best to
Stir Up Strife.
UNITED PIUCSS LBABBD WMB.
Kieff, Eussia, Nov. 6. An anti
Jowish outbreak seriously ' threatened
here today as a result of Prosecutor
Wippor's bitter denunciation of the
race in his speech yesterday aftenoon,
following the conclusion of his testi
mony in the Mendel Beilis trial.
The prosecutor did not confine him
self to the charge that Boilis murdered
12-year-old Anrei Muschinsky, . He de
clared Jewish "ritual murdors" com
mon. He seemed to be doing his best
to stir the Christian population of Kieff
to violence against their Jewish fellow
townsmen. His address was an out
rageous one, and it plainly had its ef
fect, for anti-Jewish muttoring began
to be heard directly after Wipper had
finished.
There was a strong forco of cavalry
In town, ostensibly to prevetn a pogrom
but few considered it likely that the
soldiers wore undor ordors to try hon
ostly to protect the Jewish popula
tion. Says Evidence Lacking.
Arguments were continued today at
the Beilis trial. Attorney Grousenbeig,
for the defense, assorted that not a se.in
tilla of evidence had been brought out
connecting his client with the murder,
and ridiculed the stories of human sac
rifices by the Jews.
The jurors listened, apparently in
wooden indifference. It was the gen
eral Impression that tfio juror would
disagree, ut under Russian law, a ma
jority is sufficient for a conviction or
an acquittal. The individual on trial
is conBidored innocent In case of a tie.
A verdict was looked for not later
than Saturday night.
Boilis plainly showod the effect of
tho strain he has boon under for so
long. He writhed nervously and scorn
ed ropeatedly on the point of another
collapse.

Indianapolis; Ind., Nov. 6. Fearing

hore, Governor Ralston this afternoon
said no soldiors would be allowed to

wore hore, a sufficient number, he bo
lieved, to suppress disorder strictly.
The local companies would remain in
their armorios, he explained, and those
from out of town on board their trains
until tha word was given. Many local
militiamen refused to report for strike
duty.
' The Indianapolis newspapers did not
publish extras to announce the calling
out of tho troops, fearing to excite the
public. Tho union leaders are protest
ing vainly against martial law.
'The street car employes Aid not call
this so-called strike," said President
Todd, of the traction copipany, in as
interviow today. "It was done by out
side agitators, led by J. J. Thorpe, of
Pittsburg. A majority of the Indian

satisfied with thoir wages and working
conditions. They wore frightened Into
quitting.
"Since Friday night anarchy has
roigned. Whon the law and order are
restored, tho company Is prepared to
resume operations."

Governor linlston asserted that his

While in the act of stepping into Dr.

Man of Misfortune.
James McGuire Is, or was, rather,
one of tho most unforlunato prisoners
over confined in tho Orogou penitenti
ary. According to his past record, which
the prison authorities havo on tho books,
McGuire has always been a hard-working
and an industrious num. A few
months prior to the year 1010, he be
came entnngled In a dispute over some
mining property in Josophliio county
with the result that he killed a man
who was attempting to fleece him out of
his hard earned claim taken up in the
mining region of that county. He was
convicted of the crimo of manslaughter
and given tho minimum sentonce in the
ponitontiary of ton years. Ho was re
ceived at tho prison May 28 1910, and
on September 15, 1011, ho was given a
conditional irolo.
