Washington. Nov. 5.-W aiting for word from Provisional President Hu- erta-this was the attitude of ofnclal Washington today in the Mexican sltu- stion-
 Administration officials still refused to shed any light on the last com r111nication which conveyed to General Tuerta the desire Of the United States that he eliminate himself from the tangled situation. Their attitude IS frat 10 discuss publicly the delicate phases of the problem might defeat the ends being sought
 Intense Interest al Capital
 The feeling in the national capital is none the less one of intense interest, especially as to what course will be pursued if General Huerta declines to sbdicate. It was evident from those who talked with President Wllson about the situation today that he was calmly awaiting developments. He mas told his friends that he would continue fo +rv to solve the situation by peace fuI means and would not be disturbed bv Dredictions of armed intervention.
 No Opinion of Huerta's Reply.
 The belief is general here that the situation is being worked out with ex- treme secrecy in diplomatic channels, and that only when some tangible con- ciusion has been reached will there De any official announcements
 There was no collective opinion in cnciaI Circles as to what Huerta's re- ply to the American repFesenIauons might be. No one ventnred preo1chlohs and go far as could be learned no ln- ffT77a lions had been received as to Hu- erta's attitude.

ABSOLUTE POWER
 TO FIX PRICES.
Harvester Trust Has 1t, Declares At
 torney- General:

St. Paul, Minn., Nov. 5-Attorney General James McReynolds, conclud- ing final arguments for dissolution of the International Harvester company before United States district court, this afternoon asked that an inter locutory decree be entered by the court declaring the Harvester concern a monopoly in restraint of trade. He requested that the defendants have 8 reasonable time to submit to the court a proper plan Of organization.
 Tt is the view of the government that this company must be cut up in- to separate and distinc& units" the attorney general said This must be done in such a way that the stock holders of the different parts must be distinct. We insist that it is an economic irnpossibility for companies owned by the same people to furnish bona f1de competition" Continuing he said:
 NO man who looks upon that pie ture can fail to see that this concern had the absolute power to fix prices. Of course, there existed no desire to get 100 percent of the business. A certain amount. of competition keeps down public sentiment and helps in other ways.
 Intent is wholly tn1n1ateria1. Phil anthropic purposes cannot be pleaded as' Justification for the result. When these defendants purposely entered in to this conspiracy, they laid themselves liable to be charged with guilt for the results"

SYLVIA PANKHURST
 FOOLS POLICE AGAIN.
Daughter of Socialist M, p. Throws
 Them Of the Scent

London Nov. 5-By a clever stratageTn, which completely hood winl1ed the large force of police sent to prevent her from speaking, Miss Sylvia Pankhurst was enabled to aR- nounce at the Bow Baths, in the East End of London tonight the formation of a volunteer corps, organized under command of Captain Sir Francis Vane, g. Roer war veteran, for the pro- tection of militant suffragettes and la bor unionists.
 Miss SeeJte Emerson of Jackson, Mich, presided over the meeting. Just as the meeting was called to order the statement was made that the residence of George LansbuTy, former socialist member of parliament, and a warm supporter or the militant suffragettes. was surrounded by police. The crowd rushed from the baths and found large number of foot and mounted po- lice around LanSbury's house, with a taxicab in front of the entrance.
 Mir. Lansbury arrived on the scene entered the home, The report was spread that the preparations portend- ed the arrest Of Sylvia Pankhurst.
 The lights in the house were ex- tinguished and suddenly a woman rushed from the doorway and sprang into the taxi, which surrounded by mounted police. proceeded to Bethnal Green. Then Miss Daisy LansbuFy, daughter of the ex-sociahst member, stepped out, much to the discontinue of the police,
 Meanwhile, Miss Pankhurst entered the baths practically unobserved.
 MT. Lansbury and Sir Francis Vane followed Miss Pankhurst to the plat form. The BOer veteran explained that he proposed to establish a labor training corps. Waving aloft a huge knotted club, Sir Francis said he was prepared to use that weapon wherever he saw women injured and in labor disputes, or wherever the oppressed needed aid.
 When Miss Pankhurst left the meet ing she was surrounded by a body guard of East Finders and made her escape after a lively battle with the police, who were compelled to draw their clubs. The crowd retaIiated with sticks and the result was that several of the beiligerents were injured, among them Miss Emerson, who was knocked down and bruised about the head. She, too, escaped arrest, be- ing carried away by syrnpathizers.
