White House Officials Neither Confirrf
Nor Deny Reports Wilson and

Mexico. City,. J&oy.. 3. President
Huerta has . been told he must "resign
the Presidency pf Mexico without loss
of time and' that he must not leave
as his successor GenAureliano Rlan
quet, his minister of war, or any other
member of his official family or of the
unofficial . coterie whom he might be
expected to control. , This ultimatum
from, Washington .was - conveyed- to
President ; Huerta through his private
secretary Senor Rabago by Nelson
O'Shaughnessy,: the .American charge
d'affaires, actings, .under, instructions
from the State Department. s
Senor Rabago presented the 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. x
Those wno learn ea-or tne vvasning
ton note regard Gen Huerta's posi
tion as one in which he will be forced
to give one of two 'answers refusal
point blank to comply with the -de-
man d, possibly going so lar as to
hand the diplomatic representative
his passports, or the elimination ,:of
himself officially. y
Has Two Moves. f .
Those most intimate with the Presi
dent insist that the. later course will
not be taken for many reasons,, 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 admin
istration, favors, the- rebel cause, and
is convinced that ;this is the means,
adcpted by -Presideht Wttlson and -Secretary

Secrecy at Washington. J
Washington, Nov. 3: White House
officials tonght would nether confirm
nor deny the report that the Tinted
States had communcated anew to the
Huerta government its views concern
ing the necessity of.Huerta's retire
ment from theprovisional Presidency.
Secretary ; Bryan "was equally reticent.
The Associated Press - dispatches
from Mexico City reporting the pre
senta'tion of an ultimatum from this
government were? read to " Secretary
Bryan over the telephone late -tonght.
He manifested much interest, but. said
he would make no official comment.
All during the evening the Secretary
had been expecting hew. developments
and prepared to - stay up late to re
ceive dispatches. The night; operator
in the telegraph room of the State. De
partment who usually- leaves the key
at midnight, was ordered to work
through the. night. - '--
News of the ultimatum had been ex
pected in official circles, though un
usual efforts had been made to keep
secret the plans of the admnistration.
Early in the evening an intimation
was conveyed to Secretary Bryan by
the Press that some announcement
was expected in Mexico City . He ac
quainted President Wilson with that
fact, but the President had retired!

No intimation had been received up
tc midnight by the State Department
a s to what the nature of Huerta's re

received officially that a meeting of
the diplomats had been called for to

Outwardly Amercan officials . View
the situation .calmly and some - of
them express a feeling of optimism
over the future. It was evident from
a canvass of administration officials
that published, stories predicting arm

this time. Persons close. to the White
House declared -that both President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan Were Still

START HARVESTER
TRUST ARGUMENT
Prosecuting Attorney' Declar
es That Two Families Will
: Control Entire Business
IEORi)KAfe OEERING
Both Men Are Willing to Use Their
, Great Power to Fix Prices and
Intimidate Local Dealers "
- v to Crush Competition.' .
St. Paul,. Minn., Nov. 3. Edward
P Grosvenor," concluding the first
portion of his final argument for the
government : in the suit to dissolve ;
the International Harvester Company,
this: "afternoon declared to judges of
the United States District. Court that
unless the Harvester Trust is disin
tegrated two families within a few
years: will own a monopoly of every
implement made in" this country, for
the American farmer. 4 : '
The special assistant to. Attorney
General McReynolds : specified Cyrus
McCormick and James , Deering, of
Chicago, as the heads of these fami
lies -and characterized -them as , "wil-"
ling to use their great : poster to : fix
prices and- - intimidate local: dealers,
as meanfe of crushing competition.? - '
Then, with dotted maps of the. agri
cultural States of this- country, Mr.
Grosvenor showed the location of 40,-
000 local agents of dealers, which he
declared but a portion ot the vast
selling machinery dominated by tne
International Harvester Company.
Through the ' medium of the general
sales .committee of .theico--any," said
Mr. Grosvenor, the local dealer-was
forced ,to; accept the dictates of the
"trust" or . be crushed. Tne
local
dealers he also declared, .was -used to
keep the,"corporation'lnformed of coin-
. ad Drove iwonopoiy Metnoas,
"We have shownA: areuedvMr.' Gros
venor. 'by . evidence.! which -cannot te
disputed, -that Cyrus McCormick, Jas.
Deermg and Harold F. McCormick,
acting as. members of this "general
sales committee, have , approved di
rectly the monopolistic methods of
the corporation's managers or em
ployes." ' " , "''-
The Federal prosecutor, touching
on the answer of the defendants as
filed-with the court: in the Harvester
company's brief, said: j
- "The answer of these defendants is
solely the naming of. an" intent to ex
pand their foreign business, or, m
Other words, they demand to be per
mitted to break the laws of this coun
try so that their business may ex-
I pand. That, L insist, is the sum ana
substance of their answer, ana as
the court well knows, this is no justi
fication. -:.
"Further, I desire, to emphasize the
point that the combination, as alleg
ed, was not necessary to. expansion tf
the foreign trade of any of the indi
vidual concerns which went into it. J
In that respect, the answer of the de
fendants is untrue.". 1
To justify this assertion, Mr. Gros
venor. read copies of the sales reports
of the Deering and McCormick con
cerns to show .that "for several years
previous to the formation of .the In
ternational Harvester Company, their
foreign trade had been increasing at
a steady ratio. r '-i
. Growing Competition.
Going into that portion of the de
fendants' answer- labelled "Growing
Competition," "Mr Grosvenor directed
the court's attention to the evidence
of Matt Sprule, of Sparta, -111., called
as a. witness to substantiate claims of
competition made by counsel for the
Harvester Company. '-;i--, - :
"The testimony- of Mr.v Spruile,"
said. Mr. Grosvenor, "shows that in
the year of 1907,- Mr. Spruile's con
cern manufactured - one machine, in
1908 two machines, in 1909, three machines,-
in 1910 three machines, in
191L tiree machines, and in 1912 two
machines.. These" figures . compared
with the., more -than :, one' .hundred
thousand . machines that "the Interna'
tionai Harvester company sola an
nually, will give an idea as to the
sort -of competition, the T'trust'. was
forced to meet."
-' Mr. Grosvenor completed this por
tion of his argument and yielded to
Judge McHugh, of counsel for the de
fense, shortly before, the close of the
afternoon session- of court. -- Judge
McHugh had just begun his argument
when court adjourned for the day. -
The brief : filed, by the i. government
today recites the history of the or
ganization Of the Harvester Company
in 1902, alleging that the company
has controlled since - that time about
80 per cent of the trade in the United
States in binders,; mowers and other
agricultural implements, :: and prays
the court to - grant an injunction
against its furthercontinuance.

hearing when." Father Pranaites con
tinually replied "V don't know" to
questions and was unable even to in
dicate the-., texts . of the Talmud and
the Bible on which he based his- denunciation-
of the Jews. The judge
sharply demanded whether the wit
ness could i hear the questions put to
him.
Father : Pranaites did not! confine
his charges to any particular" Beet of
fanatics but declared that all Jews
were concerned in ritual observances..
After alluding to the significance
of: the number of the wounds . and to
the method of killing employed; Fath
er Pranaites said the object of ritual
crimes was . to hasten the arrival of
the Messiah. . :
When asked to produce the book
containing a description of those
practices, the priest replied that it
was in St. Petersburg.
Father Pranaites . related " alleged
historical records of the fifth and sev
enth centuries -of the massacre- of
tens of thousands of Christian pris
oners by Jews' and similar horrors.
The president of the court had to
warn him again to relate only-verified
facts. " -
Prof. TrOitsky, who occupies the
chair of Hebrew and Biblical archol
ogy in the St,"Petersburk:.Ecclesiasti
cal Academy, declared that the Mo
saic law prohibited human sacrifices,
although Jewish history made men
tion of human sacrifices to Moloch.
The Pious Kings of IsraeL.and Judah
did their utmost to suppress them.
The Jewish religion, he said, has no
prescriptionr pointing to ritual mur
der. In his opinion there was noth
ing to show that the murder of Tu
shinsky , was in any "Way - connected
with a ritual. .
-Late in the evening while Prof. Ko

mier, was testifying the - foreman of
the Jury intimated ' that the question
at issue was sufficiently v clear, and
that consequently it was needless to
