May Make No Reply.
There was still no indication this morn
ing whether President Huerta would
make formal reply to the communica-
tion fro mthe 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

All Hearings in District Must
Be Held Under Pub
lie Gaze.
OTHER REFORMS MADE
IN COURT PROCEDURE
Greater Precautions to Guard ES-
tates in Trust-Trial De-
lays to End.

The equity branches of the District Su-
preme Court will operate under new rules
of practice next month. Beginning with
the December term all divorce cases
and annulments of marriage will be
heard in open court. The parties to the
proceedings. as we'll as the witnesses,
will be examined in public In only ex-
ceptional cases will the court direct that
master in chancery or an examiner
hear the evidence In proof or refutation
of the charges preferred.
Numerous other innovations are to be
made in the procedure in the local equity
courts under the new rules. When the
Supreme Court of the United States
formulated the new equity practice for
United States courts, which went into
operation last February, it was found
that these rules could not be adopted iE
toto by the District Supreme Court be-
cause of the peculiarities of practice
here. Justice Daniel Thew Wright and
Justice Wendell P. Stafford were selected
by their associates on the bench as a
committee to draft new rules for the
local court, or rather to prepare an
adaptation of the equity rules of the
Supreme Court of the United States to
local conditions The committee SUBJ

MAY Reise Arms Embargo.

Following the receipt here of unofh-
ciaI word that Gen. Huerta has no inn
mediate intention OF acceding to the
American demands that he give up his
position, the belief took a strong hold

will raise the embargo on the exporta-

tionalists chance to demonstrate their
claim that they can finish Huerta In

Must File Reports.

An entirely new rule has been added in
reference to reports Of trustees. receivers
and other fiduciaries. Henceforth, on the
1st day OF May of each year, every per
son occupying position of trust under
the courts appointment must file a report
or account verified by his oath, IN which
he shall fully and clearly set forth the
nature of all assets held by him in such
fiduciary capacity; the place where any
trust moneys are deposited. and in what
name: the nature and particulars of all
securities. real and personal: whether the
same were received by him in the same
form as parts of the trust estate, or are
investments made by him.
This account or report is to be referred
to the auditor of the court, who Is di-
rected by the rule to see that the trus-
tee, receiver or other fiduciary actually
has in his possession the securities
claimed, and that the credits or deposits
correspond to the statements made by the
court appointee. The object Of the new
rule is to guard more safely trust funds.
