personal views on woman suffrage or any

had not been the subject of Organic con-

which he considered himself the spokes-

Claims They Made Great Sum Through
Manipulation.

st. Louis.-The Frisco receivers late
Tuesday afternoon filed a petition in
the United States district court asking
permission to file a restitution suit
against the former directors and other
officers of the st. Louis and San Fran
cisco railroad who were members of the
syndicate which built the Brownsville
road and then sold it to the Frisco at a
profit of several million dollars. This
was the second suit of the kind filed
during the day.
The receivers application for permis-
sion to sue was filed at the request of
Mrs. Bridget Duffy of st. Louis, owner
of 100 shares of Frisco stock. Through
an attorney she asked the receivers to
protect her interests and those of other
stockholders, by taking steps to recover
some of the profits made by the mem
bers of the Brownsville syndicate.
Federal Judge W.. II. Sanborn, with
whom the petition was filed, said he
would consider it and announce his de
cision within n day or tive.

measures to be advanced for action ut

Placing upon the defendant the bur.
den Of proof to show that there is no
unreasonable restraint of trade.
Prohibition of interlocking directories
between large corporations.
Establishment of an interstate trade

Mexico City.-The Mexican congress
nullifed the recent presidential elections.
New elections are called for next July.
Congress, according to this action, ex-
poets Gen. Huerta to remain in the pres
idency for at least seven months more
and If the time necessary for the selec-
ton and installation OF his successor IL
taken into consideration, it will be well
toward the end of September year be-
fore he yields his power to another.
in voting that the recent prcsiden-
dial election was null, the deputies de-
cHdcd to fix the first Sunday in July,
1914, as the date for the new election,
They also confirmed the position Of Gen.
Huerta as provisional president until
then.
The action of the deputies was accom-
panied by no debate. The committees
report was approved without a dissent
ing vote as rapidly as the articles could
be read.
II was not until its last clause was
read, referring to Gen. %Iluerta as pro-
v~isional president, that the chamber
gave evidence other than that of a well
trained organization. When the reading
clerk stopped some one began applaud
ing and then instantly the deputies were
shouting "%viyas" for %lluerta.
The presiding officer was finally able
20 remind them that enthusiasm was
oil very well. but that it was necessary
10 ratify the enthusiasm by votes.
The measures taken also provide for
che election OF a new congress, since the
one elected to take the place OF that
dissolved by ~IIucrta is to serve out an
u%ncxpircd term which should terminate
September IS.
The reason given for multiplying tho
elections was the insufliciency OF the
number Of votes cast. 1t was stated
that the entire number of voting places
In the republic is l4,225 and that returns
were received from 707.
Although there were nc dissenting
votes in the chamber on the committee
report, il wa noted that the Catholic
deputies absented themselves from the
session.
The action OF lhe new congress was
surprise to most people, since it was
but re.temtion Of Huerta's statements
made from time TO time.

WILL PASS FEW
ANTITRUST LAWS
President Will Take Up Trust Legisla.
ton This Week-To Send Special
Message.

Observation-Disclosures Wilson's views
on trust legislation are to be sought
this week, by congressional leaders upon
whom will fall the task of mapping out
the antitrust program for legislative &C.
ton. The last week has developed a
pronounced view among Democratic men,
bers of the senate that the antitrust
acts of the present session of congress
should be few and effect only the more
obviously needed reforms in the field of
combination and corporation activity.
While the president has announced his
purpose to send a special trust message
to congress in the near future, the scope
of the communication has not yet been
outlined. Chairman Clayton of the house
judiciary committee will meet the presi-
dent and Chairman Newlands Of the SEN
ate interstate commerce committee will
probably have a conference with him.
The demand of Democratic leaders last
week Tor speedy action on the pending
currency reform bill have had a marked
effect on the senate. Confident predic-
tions are now made that the bill will
pass that body before December 20; and
that an adjustment of differences be-
tween senate and house can be reached
shortly after that time.
Republican members have made it
clear they do not want to be charged
with delay of currency reform, and will
not use obstructing tactics to effect the
changes they want i'll the bill.
General legislation which had been
held in restraint throughout the special
session of congress broke over the bar
riers last week and is flooding every
channel of congressional action.
