CLAYTON BILL cUr

Washington, July 1t.zJh revising
the Clayton omnibus trust bill as it
passed the house, the senate judiciary
committee today struck out section
which would make it unlawful for any
owner. operator or transporter of the
products of any mine. oil, or gas well,
reduction works, refinery or hydro
eletric plant or for any persons sell
ing such products to refuse arbitrarily
to sell the product to any responsible
person applying for it.
1t was held by the commission that
such provision established dan
gerous precedent in legislation, parti-
crlarly because it strikes at one gener-
al line of industry. Other amendments
are planned to the sections relating to
Irice discrimination. price fixing and
labor. The interstate commerce COM
mission hoped to have the railroad
securities control bill completed by
Monday at the latest.

Huerta to Abdicate

Washington, July 11.-Informatior
was received from Mexico City by di
plomats here today saying that Gen
eral Huerta would resign within two
ar three ldays, in favor of Francisco
Carbajal, newly appointed minister OF
foreign affairs.
It was learned that the appointment
of Carbajal, who took office yesterday
is part of a general program by which
it is hoped to make peace with the
constitionalists. The Huerta delegates
to the Niagara conferences are under
stood to have been awaiting this move
for several days.
Carbajal has long been member OF
the supreme court of Mexico and on
May 81 last was elected chief justice.
Realizing that the constitutional gen.
erals would disapprove the plan for
peace conferences with representa-
tives of General Huerta as proposed
by the mediators, because they don't
wish to have dealings in any form
with Huerta, the suggestion was made
to the Huerta group that another man
be placed in power with whom the
constitutionalists might feel disposed
to treat.
Carbajal is member of the class
which supported Huerta but is regard
ed as having liberal sympathies. He
was the peace encoy whom General
Porfirio Diaz sent to Juarez in 1911
and arranged with Madero for the
transfer of power to the successful
revolutionists.

will endeayor to arrange te1us of
peace which would be virtually terms

City are reported apprehensive of a
military conquest of the capital and the
efforts of an influential class are be-
Iieved to be directed toward arrng-
ing a peaceful transfer Of power.
There would be no necessity for a
large army to enter the Mexican cap
ital under such plan but merely :

Quebec, July 1.-The collier Stor-
stad is held to blame for the Empress
of Ireland disaster, in the findings of
the wreck commission, handed down
today.
The commission holds that the dis
aster was due to the Storstad's change

it advisable to found our conclusions

of by the witnesses and on their pro

I'VE have come to the conclusion that

A fist Of names was suggested to
Carranza by all the delegates, from
which he could select if he saw fit, a
provisional cabinet or a consulting
committee to act until the election of
permanent officers. Resolutions also
were adopted condemning what was
declared the activity OF the clergy in
assisting the Huerta central govern

in which the Villa delegates attempted
to eliminate any military leader in

possibilities.

An important act of the conference
was directed against the clergy which
had taken part in the present revolu-
tion. The statement said:
THAT members of the Roman Ca
tholic church. who materially or intel
lectually had assisted the usurper, Vic
toriano Huerta. should be punished .
The convention first agreed that
General Carranza was the supreme
leader of the revolution and General
Villa the chief of the division of the
north. With this as q basis for the
negotiations discussion began, each
side advancing certain suggestions
which were voted down, modified or
adopted in full. In regard to the COM
plant that General Carranza had not
assisted sufficiently the division Of
the north with munitions, resolution
vas adopted after some argument
which called for all divisions of the
constimtionalist army to receive
from the first chief all the equipment
that they may need
Certain concessions also were given
that the various chiefs might have ad-
ministrative powers as well as mill
tary.

of Sonora was in an adopted recon-
