United States Sends
an U|tmatum,
NO ANSWER Received
Well Informed Persons Believe
Dictator Will F|at|y Re-
fuse 10 Comply.

Mexico City. Nov. 4.-President HUI
erta has been told he must resign the
presidency Of Mexico, without loss Of
time, and he must not leave as his
successor General Aureliano Blan-
quet, his minister of war, or any 9TH
er member of his official family, or
of the unofficial coterie whom he might
be expected to control.
The ultimatum from Washington
was conveyed to President Huerta
through his private secretary, Senior
Rabago, by Nelson O'Shaughnessy, the
American charge d'aifaires, acting un-
der instructions from the state de-
partment.
Senior Rabago presented the memo
randum to his chief late Sunday, but
President Huerta has returned no an
SWer and, as far as can be learned,
has guarded its contents from almost
all Of his official and intimate coun-
sellers.
Those who learned Of the Washing
ton note regard General Huerta's po-
sition as one in which he will be
forced to give one of two answers
refusal point blank to comply with
the demand, possibly going so far as
tn hand the diplomatic representative
his passports. or the elimination of
b mSelf officially.
Those most intimate with the presi-
dent insist that the latter course will
not be taken, for many reasons, chief
among which is that such action would
be tantamount to submission to the
rebels.
Favors the Rebel Cause.
Official Mexico is no longer in doubt
that the Washington administration
favors the rebel cause and is con-
WINGED that this is the means adopted
by President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan to assist Carranza to win.
General Huerta summoned to the
national palace the national diplomatic
corps. At first the purpose of the
meeting was not given out, but later
the object was said to be the reading
of the American note.
Three of the ministers, those of Ger.
many, Norway and Russia, were alb.
sent. They have been in Vera Cruz,
where they were in conference with
President Wilson's representative,
John Lind, who is understood to be
fully conversant with the latest rep.
reservations from Washington.
Changes in the military situation
throughout the country included, &C.
cording to the report, the advance OF
the rebels to attack Zacatecas, but the
government believes that the garrison
there is sufficiently strong to resist
an attack successfully.
Queretaro, capital of the state OF
the same name on the main line OF
the National railway south of San
Luis Potosi, is surrounded by rebels
and practically in a state Of siege.

TAKEN TO FEDERAL COURT
Citizen of New York Appellant in Sui.
ger Case,

New York, Oct. 31.-The conviction
of William Sulzer by the high court
of impeachment and his removal from
office as governor CT New York was
thrown into the federal court for re-
view by William H. Moore, a printer
of this city.
In a remarkable petition Moore al
leges that the control of the govern
ment of the state of New York has
passed from the people to a small
group of citizens and that consequent
~ New York is no longer enjoying a
republican form of government, as
guaranteed by the federal Constitu-
ton.
Moore seeks to have the court en-
join Martin H. Glynn from exercising
any of the functions of governor,
prays for the restoration of the office
to Sulzer, attacks the assembly for
arrogating to itself the power to con-
vene in extraordinary session and
pass articles of impeachment and con-
cludes his petition with a prayer for
an audit of all the state books.

Gus Parts Of the State.
SCHEME TO FOREST STATE
Over. One Million Trees Will Be Dis
tributed to Citizens in the
Spring of 1915.

Over a million trees will be given

scheme being a part of the program
mapped out for foresting the state.
The million odd trees are now being
cultivated by the state school and in

Requirements that must be complied
with are few, it only being necessary
tina the property owners agree to
plant the trees and cultivate them a
Sertain length of time.
After the first gift of a million trees
is made it is expected that similar
gifts will be made each year., or bien-
nially, for several years to come, until
every farm in the state is devoted, in
part, to tree raising.

Third Victim of North Dakota Murder.

held at C%hristiania, Norway, in the
summer Of 1914, at which time a

sion and, at a meeting held earlier in
the year, he appointed a committee of
fifty members, II from each county,

Nearly sufficient money has been
realized to date to pay for the making
of the statue and the shipping OF it to

RUNAWAY FATAL TO BANKER
Joseph Roach of Minot, N. D., Dies
Of Injuries.

" injuries
Unable, it is believed, because OF
the loss of a leg, to leap from his bug
gy and escape injury, Joseph Roach,
prominent banker Of Minot, and for.
mer Minnesota legislator, suffered in
juries when a runaway team dashed
into his buggy that resulted in his
death three days later.
George Nelson, driver of the mad
dened horses, leaped from the hayrack
that the animals were hauling and es-
capped unhurt. Roach must have
heard the clatter Of the runaway, but
could only sit helpless until the crash
came, and he was thrown headfore-
most to the ground. Conclusion OF
the brain made him unconscious, a
condition in which he remained until
the end.
The body of the banker will be TAX
en- to Northtield, Mimi, where he
lived for many years and where the
burial will take place. Many rela-
t1ves in Minnesota and North Dakota
survive.

President Opposes Changes in
Currency Measure
NIGHT SESSIONS OF SENATE
Chief Executive May Ask Leaders to
Work Longer Houre After the
Bill Is Reported.

Washington. Nov. At becmes
daily more evident that President Will
views on banking and currency
legislation are most clearly defined.
He is not disposed to concede even
the suggestion OF a change in the
Glass measure.
The president has again indicated
to the members Of the senate COM
mittee OF banking and currency that
he will hew close to the line and that
projected changes in the measure
whether in details or in fundamentals
will prove only causes for displeasure
on the part of the administration.
The amendment voted into the bill
by the committee before it's adjourn
ment Saturday by which the number
OF regional banks was reduced from
twelve to four, eve with the provision
that at the end Of two years the fed
eral reserve board may increase the
number to the original dozen, is not
acceptable to the White House.
Favors House Provisions.
The president has let it be known
that the sections OF the bill relating
to subscriptions for capital stock in
the new regional reserve banks must
stand as passed ty the house. He
does not favor this stock being under
written by the national banks and
subscribed for by the general public.
The Glass bill provides that the
stock must be subscribed for COM
pulsorily by the member banks of the
projected system.
The president explained his stead
fast adherence to the Glass bill by
saying that he was not standing on a
pivot swinging to and fro on any legis-
lative proposition and that when he
outlined a policy of procedure he did
not mark it in chalk which might be
rubbed out.
1t became known at the Capitol that
the president will ask the leaders in
the senate to insist on night sessions
of the senate to begin as soon as the
currency bill is reported and to con-
time until it is passed. The Repub-
licans probably will resist this pro-
gram.

APPEALS FOR AID IN STRIKE
Michigan Congressman Confers With
President Wilson,.

Washington, Nov. 4.-Representa-
tive Mcdonald of Michigan told Presi-
dent Wilson that something should be
done, either through executive action
or legislation, not only to adjust the
copper strike in the Calumet region,
but to prevent future strikes which
involve the prosperity of an immense
industry.
President Wilson expressed deep
interest and said he would study the
situation. The federal mediation
board, it was agreed, could not take
up the strike because of the limita-
tions under which it works, but the
president expressed the hope that
some plan might be soon adopted to
meet the situation.
