KNOCKS HOUSE PARTIES

Madison, Wis, Nov. 6.-"While the
house party may be pleasant for the
few who participate in it, it is detri-
ment to the university
This view was given by President
Charles R. Van Hise Of the state Sa1-
yersity in statement today.
The house party may be legiti-
mately objected to on the ground that
but relatively few can participate and
that the greater number of students
are put on an unequal footing with a
more favored class If it>were elimi-
mated the objections which have been
urged against the prom" would lose
their weight; indeed probably would
become insignificant. Therefore It
would seem the students should take
the university rather than the selfish
point Of view and abolish the house
party"

Washington, Nov. 6.-Friends Of
William F. McCombs, chairman of the
democratic national committee. re-
ceived cable dispatches today an
nouncing that he would be married in
London tomorrow to Miss Dorothy
Williams, sister of Mrs. Joseph
Letter.
The announcement was unexpected
and was a great surprise in diploma
tic and military social circles, il
which the bride-to-be is prominent. 1t
caused no less Of stir in political
circles.
Miss williams left Washington
some time ago aboard the yacht Mia
CARA as Mrs. Letters guest, on trip
around the world. The Niagara now
is at Southampton waiting for Mr.
Letter to join the party.
Mr.. McCombs has been abroad since
almost Immediately after election,
getting a rest. He is the most prom
inent possibility for ambassador to
France to succeed Myron 7. Herrick
The chairman has once declined the
place, but re-considered at President
/ Wilson's personal request and since
he has been abroad, the post has been
held open for him, with the general
understanding in official circles that
he eventually would accept It when
he got his business affairs and law
practice in condition for his absence.

NOTED LAWYER DEAD

New York. Nov. 6.-Daniel O'Reilly,
lawyer and ex-convict, died today at
his home. He was 42 years old. Dur
ing his career he defended several
noted criminal cases, among them the
trial Of Nan Patterson, Captain Peter
Hains and Harry X. Thaw. More than
a decade ago he was an assistant dis
trict attorney Of New York O'Reilly's
death, his friends assert, was directly
due to the prison sentence imposed

Washington, Nov. 6.-The stock OF

five.
Senators Reed and Hitchcock, dem.
ocrats. joined the five republicans in
voting for the resolution, over the pro
tests Of Senators Owen. Pomerene,
Shafroth, Hollis and O'Gorman, the
remaining democrats Jointly framed
by Senators Reed, Hitchcock and
Weeks, the resolution is regarded by
some as the basis Of compromise
between the White House and the
senators in control Of the committee
The provision in the house bill to
compel national banks to subscribe
ten per cent Of their capital to the
new system, under penalty Of losing
their charters. would be eliminated
If after 60 days the public had not
subscribed all the capital, the banks
entering the system would be reQuir-
ed to take up the remaining stock.
That was one Of the proposals Of the
Vanderlip plan.
Control Of the regional banks was
settled by compromise resolution
offered by Senator Weeks, providing
that each regional bank have nine di-
rectors, five to be selected by the
government feedral reserve board
and four by the ban1s Inder the
house bill six Of the nine would be
chosen BY the banks
The action today is thought to have
cleared the way for an agreement in
the committee and may hasten prog
ress Of the bill. President Wilson has
been conducting informal conferences
with democratic senators over the
currency situation, and many are
urging a party conference, not neees-
sarily in the sense Of q caucus, but
as a movement to make the demo-
cratic party sponsor for the bin in
the form in which the administration
wants it shaped.
Talk Of caucus to take the biz
out Of the hands Of the committee
was revived after the administration
forces were outvoted today. Senate
leaders sent out notices to all dem-
ocratic absentees urging them to re-
turn at once

Constitu iicnalists mere declare they
do not wisn recognition their bel
ligerancy, but only wish TO obtain
arms on an equality with Huerta.
Although discretionary power to
permit expectations Of munitions Of
war is vested with the president, some
observers think it unlikely that he
would take such a sep wi aout some
communication witt confess That
phase Of the situation has given rise
to expressions that President Wilson
might soJn read another message to
congress outlining the status Of the
negotiations with Mexico and making
specific suggestions for future policy.
Officials declined TO say today
whether they had received any an
swer directly OF indirects iom Huer-
ia to the latest demands.
Count Won Berstorff, the German
ambassador who only recently has re-
turned to this country, had an engage
ment to see the president late today.
Although the ambassador came to pay
his respects, it was believed not i'm
probable that the Mexican situation
would be discussed. Sir Cecil Spring
Rice, the British ambassador, return
ed to the capital this morning.
The foreign relations committee dis
cussed the Mexican situation at
length and gave principal considera-
ton to the question of lifting the en-
barge. Senators said nothing defin-
ite had been done. From individual
expressions of opinion it seemed that
most senators on the committee had
not changed their favorable attitude
toward such a movement, but still
were disposed to defer to the presi-
dent and await an indication from
him.
The battleships Louisiana, New
Hampshire and Michigan, of the sec
'ond division Of the Atlantic fleet,
which were to be relieved from duty
in Mexican waters on the arrival of
the four vessels of the third division,
were today formally ordered to re-
main at Vera Cruz. Orders were is
sued for the armored cruiser Cali
fornia to remain in Pacific Mexican
waters, although original orders to the
Pittsburgh were to relieve the Cali

ULTlMATUM OF TIE AMERICAN
NATION is IGNORED IN ITS
ENTIRETY
HAS WILSON GUESSING
THE PRESIDENT SAID TO BE CON-
sIDERlNG RECOGNIZING
cARRANclsTAs

Mexico City, Nov. 6.-There was
still no indication here this morning
whether President Huerta would
make a formal reply to the communi-
cation made by the United States.
The nature of the memorandum is
said to call for no other reply than
compliance. How long Washington
expects to wait for this compliance
after failing to receive verbal re-
joinder is a question which is greatly
interesting the few here who are CON
vinced of the passage Of the commun-
ication from the United States gov
ernment to the provisional president.
Mexico City itself still is ignorant
of the nature of the new representa-
tions made by washington to General
Huerta. The newspapers mere have
printed only denials of the reports
from the United States until today,
when they partially confirmed them.
The Herald, the only English daily
newspaper, published dispatch from
Vera Cruz stating that John Lind, the
personal representative Of President
Wilson, had confirmed the reports Of
certain indications being made by
Washington to Mexico"
Notwithstanding the necessary pre-
cautions surrounding the transmission
by Nelson O'Shaughnessy, American
charge d. affaires, Of the Washington
dispatch, enough has leaked out here
to fill the city with rumors and end
less speculation today, as to what Gen
eral Huerta's course Of action will be.
Opinion generally is In line with
the unofficial information obtainable
at the national palace last night that
General Huerta intends to refuse com
pliance with the United States de-
mands, but will proceed with the pro
gram he has been following Of re-or-
ganizing the Mexican congress and
abiding by the finding of that body
relative to the recent elections, sim
ultaneously ignoring Washington's
warning that the new congress will
not be countenanced.
1t is declared the purposes
Of General Huerta we're voiced this
morning to a person who is close to
the provisional president. The presi-
dent is determined to reject all the
demands set forth in the latest Amer
ican communication and is resolved
to seat the congress just elected.
If congress, however, declares the
recent presidential election null and
void and makes arrangements for an
other election, General Huerta would
be disposed to abide by this decision
and submit to the peoples choice Of
man who would occupy the prest
dency until the autumn of 1915.
