A report was current that he had engaged pas- sage to Europe, but his friends denied it. Washington, Nov. 8. It was rumor ed in Mexico City today that Huerta's caiiict had decreed his retirement. His friends said ho would not do it. Prob abilities seemed to be that ho was wait ing for European nations to join in the American domand for his resignation, that he might not appear to bo yielding to the United States alone. In Washington it was no secret that the administration blamed England for tho present Mexican situation. Huerta was said to have made promises to the British government which the latter -wished him to keep, and had therefore, encouraged him to resist America's de mands for his retirement. The admin istration meant to insist that England keep its plodgo to follow America's pol icy in Mexico. It was said John Lind tol"d this to English Minister Sir Lionel Carden plainly last night. Big Battle Probable. The Mexican rebel junta in Washing ton sent General Carranza word to "go in and fight." If he makes a strong showing, members of the junta believed President Wilson will leavo it to him to overthrow Huerta instead of interven ing. Carrama'a men showed immediate signs of activity, and a desperate strug gle was looked for in northern' Mexico at once. Reports that Huerta hail recalled Min ister Covarruias from St. Petersburg to succeed him as president were un confirmed, though it was conceded that Covarrubias would be a good man. The report that Huerta had resigned -was not believed in Washington. by T (UNITED FRESS UiSID Will.)

Interur ban cars were permitted to run into In dianapolis this afternoon pending ad justment of grievances between motor men, conductors and directors of the various lines. Labor leaders said an agreement similar to the one which set tled the local street car strike would bo signed before night. Danger had developed of a strike throughout the state, tying up all urban and intorurban traffic. The Indianapolis company's helpless ness in the face of the strike on its sys tem and the evjdoncos of an overwhelm ing public opinion in favor of the men was a surprise even to tho union organ izers. Ou the strength of it they began "working ou" the interurban crows at once and quickly found them in a frame of mind to respond to the union ad vances. Work With Non-Unlonists. The chief difficulty locally was the uniouvmen's refusal to work with non unionists, of whom there were still a number in the company's service when the strike was declared. Strenuous efforts were made to settle tho complication without upsetting the entire arbitration agreement, ind, through the aid of Agent Moffitt, of the federal labor department, who ar rive-! today to relieve .Ethelbort Stow- arC, the unionists at length agreed to work temporarily with the non-union men.

Salem's Magnificent Mausoleum Nearly Completed3 First in State Since the dawn of creation the care of the dead, beautifylug the spot where near ami dear ones repose waiting the judgment day, has been one of the prominent characteristics of the human race. The earliest pages of sacred his tory mention the veneration in which tho dead were held. One of tho first transactions in real estate mentioned was when the venerable Abraham peti tioned the children of Heth to "inter cede with Kphron, the son of Zopbor that he may give mo the rave of Much pelah for a burial place for my dead," and whou the cave was offered him he refused it as a gift because he wanted the ground where his wife was to lie for his very own, and so paid 400 shek els of silver for it, or about $300 of our money. Profaue history is also filled with descriptions of honors paid the dead. When Mausolus, king of Carin, died about 350 before Christ, bis widow, Ar tomisa, erected as a monument to bim a building so magnificent, the mausole um at Httlicarnassus, that it is ranked as one of the seven ancient wonders of tho world. What to do with the doad has boon one of the problems of humanity since time began. The idea of scepulture Is horrifying, and there la certainly no more heart-rending sound than the hol low echoes that answer the falling of earth on tho crude box that encloses the remains of a loved one shut out from sight lorevermoro. It is the moat agon izing ami beartbreaklpg sound that human ears may ever hear, with all that it foretells of loss and desolation. . It i largoly for this reason that of Into years other means of caring for the dead hare been suggest oil. One of these is cremation, but this has its hor rors for many.

UNITED PRBSS UA8ED WIRE. Denvor, polo., Nov. 8. In an effort to bring additional pressure on the owners of Colorado's. , strike-bound mines, union officials were taking pre liminary steps today to completely cut off the state's coal supply. Their plan was to prevent tho mining of coal in other states for Colorado consumption. "The foderal court's-oould have held that it was a violation of the interstate commerce laws to stop cars carrying coal from state to state," said Vice President Hayes, of the Miners' Union, "and we intend to abide by that law, but it is not a violation of any law if we can stop the mining of coal." With a view to the execution of this program negotiations have already been opened with the New Mexican operators looking toward a unionization of their nilnos, and either Hayes or some one representing him, will leave shortly for Cheyenne to ask the Wyoming opera tors to mine no more coal for ship ment Into Colorado. Simultaneously with this, the union's policy committee has telegraphed the union lenders in Missouri, Kansas, Ok lahoma and Arkansas, naming the com panies which sell coal to Colorado, and the amount mined for that purpose. If the outside operators prove balky, It is the union's intention to ronch them through their emploves, 1 4 I Every availablo nook and comor in f .0 auditorium of the Coiumorciul club ,j taken up today with tho different varieties of corn which have been pine- od on exhibit by tho juvenile farmers in Marion county, and the show is one which every ono should see from tho busy business man to the industrious farmer.
