the two men stopped Compton, who was
going hunting, and accused him of try
ing to steal a dog which belonged to
Grady Foreman. After a few words,
Grady Foreman is said to have rushed
upon Compton and to have felled him
with the butt end of a pistol. AS the
boy lay helpless the two are said to

This was the closing sentences of Car
ranza's statement which was given out
as final declaration. Spoken slowly and
with studied choice of words, it had
the effect of finality with regard to any
proposition which required of the con-
stitutionualists anything further than
pledges that they would eliminate Huerta
in a short time IL allowed to import war
munitions and that they would then es-
tabljsh order and representative govern
ment within reasonable period.
The grave, reticent Mexican leader
would say no more in amplification of his
position, but several of his Heutenants
answering suppositions that 1t was a flat
on the subject of intervention, declared
Carranzas use of the word 'interference"
merely related to any form of mediation
between himself and Huerta.
To all but the principals and the men,
bers of Carranza's cabinet, the confer
ence today was a motion picture. The

ident Wilson's personal representative,
General Nenustiano Carranza made the
most explicit and definite statement he
has yet uttered with reference to
Huerta. the United states and the con-
stitntionalisfs' revolutionary movement
of which he is the head.
I'VE will accept no transactions" he
said, NOR the interference of any ma

After the conference, which continued
for two hours this afternoon, Carranza
was non-committal. Mr.. Hale remained
silent, but it was evident that the parleys
begun Wednesday We're not finished.
Carranza's statement, however, re-
ferred to negotiations with Washington
and also to the suggestion from the
American capital that further bloodshed
might be avoided and peace and order
restored, il the contending factions could
get together through the American agents,
Hale and Lind. and agree on a provisional
President acceptable to all parties who
would serve until a chief executive had
been chosen at full and free election.

kruttschnitf, chairman of the executive
committee of the southern Pacific COM.
pany. announced this afternoon that the
railroad company WAS willing 10 dis
cuss with n Representative committee
of the four labor organizations now an
strike the question of inaugurnting a
system of dealing with controversies
through joint committee representing
all four organizations.
"rhe railroad company Is willing 10
discuss with a representative commit
tee from the four organizations cor
eerned the question OF inaugurating the
system OF dealing with controversies
through a joint committee represent
ing all four organizations reads Mr..
kruttschnitts statement "And II no
agreement can be arrived al. to have
the controversy adjusted in the manner
provided by the recent act Of Con-
gress.
TT is further willing 10 have the
controversy over its refusal to grant
the demand actually made adjusted by
the board of mediation and concilia-
tion or by arbitration as provided IN
the act of Congress. More than this
cannot reasonably be required of it.
Demand Which Was Refused
The demand which the railroad com
pany refused was that the COMPANY
should meet such a joint or ea-operas

tain specified cases of grievances, 67
in number, some already settled, some
in course of settlement and some pre-
sented for the first time, but all COW
cred by the existing contracts with
each organization.
1T is one thing to conset to take
up and discuss with representatives of
the train and engiuemen where or not
existing agreed methods for dealing
with grievances have been changed
and new methods substituted which
viii involve the recognition of a joint
committee representing the four u
ganizations. 1t is another and quite u
different thing to consent TO treat as,
abrogated the provisions OF existing
agreements relating To settlement of
grievances; to recognize a cooperative
committee from all four organizations

with such committee a batch of grieV-

The company has never been asked

HUERTA CONSIDERING
OWN ELIMIN NATION

Huerta is said tonight to be consid-
ering his own elimination, although this
is always denied whenever the direct
question is put to anyone connected with
the government.
Tomorrow is the date fixed for the pre-
liminary meeting of Congress and tonight
there appears to have been no reason to
believe that it will not convene. notwith-
standing the unequivocal demand of the
United States that it should not do So
The meeting set for tomorrow is for moth
ing more than to discuss the present
members credentials and organization,
after which, following the usual custom
there will be 8 lapse of some days before
the body meets in formal session to listen
to the Presidents message.
Itshas been represented to Huerta that
the United States doubtless will regard
this preliminary meeting as seriously as
it would We're it the formal day of OPEN
ing, since it will indicate the intention of
the Mexican government to defy Wash
ington In this regard. Those now lined
up against Huerta admit, however, that
his position is a perplexing one, since
the law provides that the resignation of
the President must be made to Congress.
The only Congress in Mexico today is in
Jail. and Huerta does not feel justified in
compromising his humiliation, friends say,
by sending his resignation to the peni-
tentiary.
Advisers of Huerta, who are sending
an emissary to treat with Mr. O'Shaugh-
messy, insist that this last demand of
the United States is an unreasonable one
since if the new Congress is permitted
to meet. then there will be body to
which Huerta can send his resignation
in due form and maintain his dignity. 1t

the United States that the new Con-
gress will be inocuous institution

Believe Broken Rail Responsible

There can be no doubt that the wreck
was caused by "a broken rail, but there
is every reason to believe that the rail
broke for want of proper support. Tho
cross ties at the point where the three
coaches left the. track are nearly all In
a bad condition. This was shown when
the Clayton committee appointed to as
slst in the public investigation, visited
the scene of the accident this afternoon.
An examination of the track showed tnat
nearly one out of every three or four of
the ties was rotten, some OF them being
in so dilapidated condition as TO crum-
BILE at the ends when kicked Mr.. Pruitt
one of the committee, kicked the end off
four or five of the ties within a space
of a dozen yards. At another place near
the wreck the Clayton committee had the
special train stopped and attention of the
officials was called TO a broken rail-
which had just been repaired by means
of an old tie having been placed beneath.
At the public investigation, Superintend-
ent johnson and other officials made IL
very clear that they were endeavorlng 10
establish proof that the wreck of the train
could have resulted from no other cause
than broken rail. Members of the com
mittee, particularly Mr.. Pruitt, repeatedly
asked witnesses, especially the members
of the train crew, If they believed the
train would have been derailed had the
rail been supported by strong ties try
ing thereby to secure evidence which
would place the blame of the wreck en-
the i'll condition of the ties rather than
on the rails. This is the general opinion
that obtains here-that the rail broke be-
cause 1t was not strongly supported-and
there is hardly A doubt that this theory

U. S. IN EARNEST

Sir Lionel Garden, the British minis
ter, has conveyed to Huerta an intima-
tion that the United States is earnest in
its intentions and is said to have told
the provisional president that the British
government is disposed to back the United
States morally.
For publication Sir Lionel was reti-
cent regarding his representations to HUI
erts, but 1t is an open secret that they
were made and Huerta is said to have
been deeply impressen when he realized
that the nation which he had believed
would stand by him Indefinitely. had joined
with one which he already regarded as
his enemy.
That Huertas s friends are attempting
10 persuade him TO vacate the presidency
or at least to prevent the new congress
from meeting, is a feature of the situa-
tion that is not discussed by them, ex-
cept with absolute secrecy. 1t is one of
those subjects which it is considered not
safe to discuss, and all their efforts have
been more by means of intima tions and
suggestions than by definite advice
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-11-15

The representatives of this element
in the cabinet conferred today with
Nelson O'Shaughnessy, the American
charge d'affaires, but were given no
assurances that President Wilson has
unbent sufficiently to warrant hope
that the negotiations will be reopene!
In spite of this, however, those friends
of Huerta who now are convinced that
the United States government is not
"bluffing" believe they will yet be
able to bring about the desired
changes in time to prevent complete
rupture of diplomatic relations. This
conviction is based upon the fact that
Washington has not put into effect
it's implied threat to remove the en-
bassy or announced any new course
of action.
