I.-Provls!onal President Hucrta's formal negative reply to the United States' demands, which was discussed in detail at last night's cabinet .meeting, will set fortli that the United States has no right, legal or otherwise, to demand General Hucrta's elimination. This statement was given out today from one of the departments of the Mexican government. The reply, Jt Is said, will also point out that Provisional President Huerta has no legal right to accede to the demands. The Informant says It was decided to incorporate In the reply a declaration that General llucrta Intends to increase the Mexican army to 600,000 men. MEXICO CITY, Nov. 7. The final stages In the negotiations between Mex ico and the United Stutcs are to be participated In personally at short range by John Llnd. He arrived this morning from Vera Crnz. The series of delays In Provisional President Huerta's formal answer to the Vnlted States and the lack of definite action which would Indicate Ills attitude in face of the demands made, has been annoying to President Wilson's personal representative. It was known that nego tiations had been conducted In an Indirect manner, not following tho ordinary diplomatic course, and Mr. I.lr.d's sudden appearance In the federal capital Is as sumed to be due to his desire to bring things quickly to n clearly defined point. Mr. I.Ind proceeded to the American embassy, where he will reside during his stay. He was nccompanled by Cantaln William A, Burnslde, the American mili tary attache, and Ensign John V. I till, of the battleship Louisiana, who was de tailed by near Admiral Fletcher to act .as Mr. I.tnd'a aide. - Vnblnet Ulsontscn United Slates. There, wa.s.m.ucb. speculation hero today as to tho character o fthe discussion at the cabinet meeting held last night. All that Is Known is that tho relations be tween Mexico and tho United States were discussed, but no determinate action was taken. Mr Llnd had not ontiflcd anybody that he was coming to the federal capital. Tho staff of the United States embassy learned thn news from the morning papers. Only, one of tho clerks of the embassy went to the station to meet Irlm. The public and the Mexican officials likewise did not know of. Mr. Llnd's movements, and he came into the city In a manner contrasting greatly with his first arrival here. As Mr. Llnd stepped from tho train io consented to pose for several photograph ers, but to all Inquiries by Interviewers he made noncommittal replies, thus main taining the rcputntion for taciturnity which he earned on his previous trip. Wnnhlncton In SI (cut. WASHINGTON, Nov. 7,-John Llnd's unexpected return to Mexico City from Vera Cruz la understood hero to have been without direct orders from Wash ington, but in line with the general In ductions under which he has been en joying the greatest freedom. This latest development In the Mexican situation was surrounded by a greut deal of reticence here. It was pointed out that he may be acting on a belief that Important devel opments may be expected.

Robber Not Masked and Armed with Heavy Caliber Gun. KNOCKS TRAINMAN TO FLOOR About $300 and Six Timepieces Ex tent of Loot. ONLY ABLE TO ENTER ONE CAR Chicago to Denver "Throo;h" Pler Just LeaTliiK Station Across Ilhrr AVhcn HluH wnymnn Appear. A lone bandit, unmasked and armed with a heavy caliber pistol, held up and robbed tho through Chicago-Denver Bur lington train Thursday night, while It pulling out of the tiansfer depot at Council Bluffs for Omaha. The bandit was able only to gain entrance to ono I'ullman car, and rob three poscngers, the conductor, a porter and a flagman. He secured about 1000 and six watches and then dropped off the train when It pulled Into tho Omaha depot and escaped In the darkness of the railroad yards. The police hero and nt Council Blutfs were at once notified and furnished with a description of the bandit, but nt 8 o'clock this morning no arrests had been made. It Is beltoved that tho bandit, for the last three nights nt least, has been mak ing the trip to Omaha from Council Bluffs on the Burlington train No. 9. A railroad watchman told W. P. Angele, 1215 South ISlevcnth street, last night that a suspicious looking man had been stealing a ride each night and that he had seen him loitering about last night. Angele is a ragman on the train, and he was- standing oft tho platform of the Pull man car "Bronte" when he kw a man answering tho description glvon by the watchman, trying to gain entrance. "What do you want there, fellow?" ho demanded. Covered by rlslol. "I want to see you a mlnuti,"' an swered tho other. Angele opened the door, and tho next instant ho was cov ered by tho desperado's weapon. Al though unarmed, the railroad man of fered resistance, but ho was knocked to tho floor of tho car by the heavy gun butt. Wh'en he recovered, ho was menaced by the gun. as were the throe passengers and the other railropd, men. Sam Levis, 'the negro -portoivwa or dered to "frisk" everybody, "Including himself, and while the bandit watched hi guns, tho negro made collections with his cap. About WOO and six watches were taken. " The following are the men robbed: W. P. Angele. 1H3 South Eleventh street. J70 and hid watch, William J. Hnltz, Omaha, office 1530 City National bank building. Sam Levis, Dcnvet Conductor Fred Daniels, Burlington, la. 15. R. Pope, Milwaukee. W. R. Rooney, Sllnneapolls, represent ing M. E. Smith company. After the negro porter had turned over ttio money and watches to thn bandit he was order to get back In line. "Just ono funny move from uny one of you and I'll smoke up this old wagon," exclaimed tho tobber, as he moved to ward the door. The next instant ho had disappeared and tho train was slowing down as it entered the Burlington depot here. (nod Description Secured, As soon as telephonic communication could be established with the Omaha po lice the story was told and the man hunt had commenced, A good description of the robber was given and the police think they have a good chance to get him. The three passengers robbed got off tho train nere. Pope succeeded in saving S 10 he had concealed about hln clothes. Police officials last night ald the "stlckup Job" closely resembles the work of Harry La Trassc, Omaha and ICansas City train robber. But It was learned this morning -that he Is now In the Lcav enworth federal prison. Wire Were Cat. It was found this morning by the Coun cil Bluff: Klectric company that their wires furnishing current to lamps to the west part of town along the railroad yards had been purposely cut near Twenty-first and Seventh avenue. The cut ting waB tho work of an experienced lineman, who only knew the location of the circuits, but also understood how to break one without Injury to himself. The copper wire was first cut down to a point where a Jar would break It and was then safely broken. The fact that the lights were extinguished along tliu railroad yards where the robber entered the train, and that breaking of tho cir cuit took place Just a little while before the hold-up was accomplished, gives credence to the belief that the robber was aided by a confederate.

Dr. Anna Howard Shaw of New York, woman suffrage leader, wan addressing 4,003 school teachers and others at the Auditorium Friday mornlnjr on "The Ra tional Interpretation ot the Declaration of Independence and of the Constitution of tho United States." She was telling ot the solemnity with which the supreme court approached the appealed case of a woman who had been removed from a place on a public board by a disgruntled governor, whom the woman had opposed and whose defeat she had caused. The quoted portion Illustrates the fao ttoutness which marked the address, be cause, although somewhat confined by the ponderous title of her lecture to a rather dry treatment of the constitution and the declaration of Independence, Dr. Shaw took advantage of every oppor tunity to display the humor which char acterizes all her writings and speeches. A "rational" Interpretation of the deo laratlon of Independence and the constitu tion of the I'nltcd States, as Dr, Shaw has conceived It,- makes clear that both not only did not discriminate against women as citizens, and therefore as voters, but positively contemplated them as such. Conceded by Implication. "Not until after tho civil war was there any provision In the constitution which could possibly be construed an making any provision as to the sex of those who might enjoy the privileges of the franchise," said Dr, Shaw. "Up to that time woman' 'inalienable right to the ballot was always conceded, at least by Implication, and sometimes expressly, as In the state of New Jersey, for instance. The women of that state voted for the constitution of the United States. "Emperor William of Germany some time ago made himself the target for unrestrained ridicule when ho announced as his belief that he ruled the people of his country by dlvlno right. The press of this country showed him little merry. The press was right. But right here In where we women ask a ques tion: By what right do you men rule us-ls It divine?" Why should not tho same ridicule be hurled at you for your presumption as was heaped upon the head of the emperorT You are equally absurd." In speaking of the fact that the ballot has been granted to the negro and denied to women, Dr. Shaw was bitter.

Because of work tlmt he did in the writing of what the woman suffrage leader referred to as "that remarkable book," President Wilson was the subject of a few caustic remarks. "The president wrote this book and he knows what Is In it, because we arc constantly reminding him of its contents," ald Dr. Shaw. "Wo will nover let hlin forget It. President Wilson says, 'Free men need no guardian.' How about free women? Who are guardlansT He aisu tys ' Women are virtually represented In tlwj government.' Just what Is meant l 'virtually?'

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind Nov. 7.-The strike of Uio employes of the Indianapolis Traction and Terminal company was ccttled lata today through the efforts of Governor Samuel M. Ualston. The em ployes won their demands for arbitration, but nothing Is said about recognition of the union In the terms of settlement.

Tills statement la made on authority of Gen eral Superintendent D'Hcrnsnll, who ar rived from Kansas City late Thursday night and loft for homo Friday. "Omaha has mado good to the Missouri Pacltlu and the Missouri Pacific pro poses to be good to Omaha. Tills de rision of tho company to Invest a large sum of money here Is not due wholly to the love for Omaha. There Is a motive behind It all and that motive Is business. "The Missouri Pacific officials realise that Omaha Is ono of the most Important centers of thn system and the business has grown so rapidly during the lost cou ple of years that we have got to expand to keep pace with tho Increase. "Right now wn have In contemplation the elevating of thn tracks over the Dodge street and some of tho other cross ings In the western part of tho rlty. This will solve tho viaduct question nut there and seems to he the most fraslhlo plan that has been suggested. Wn would start our elevation south of Kurnnm street and continue It perhaiw as far as Davenport street. Tills would do away with tho grade crossings and also the question of future viaducts. "Thn elevated tracks would cost far more than the viaducts, but they would be fur all time," The biggest piece of work that tho Mis souri Paclfla Is contemplating, according to Superintendent D'Bernardi, In thn lo cation of mammoth and modern new freight yards. .Relative to this matter, Superintendent D'Barnardl said: "For years our yards, tho largest In thn city, weie adequate for all purposes, but with the rapid Increase of business In the lust few years, we have outgrown them. "Next year wu expect to commence the construction of new freight yards, con necting them with the Belt Line, These yards will be located In the vicinity ot Ralston, where the company owns a largo tract of land speclallly adapted to yardage purposes. The new yards wilt bo the bett In the country nnd un less buslnexs should increase at a most rapid pare, they will be large enough to handle the business of the next fifty years. To llnllil for Future. "In constructing the new yards the company will build for the future. Every thing will be up-to-date and the most modern equipment and appliances will be Installed everywhere." Speaking of the looust and Nicholas street viaducts, Superintendent D'Ber nardi said: "The Missouri Pacific has done every thing It ch.ii until tho city fiulshss Its work and as soon as that occurs, we are ready to begin work. We have our blue prints and working plans prepared and are ready light now to start work. We are tioldlng back only on account of the city." Superintendent D'Uernordl rays that the Missouri Paolflo passenger business In ! and out of Omaha will show an Increase of a little better than t5 per cent for tho year, providing November and December i hold up as well as the other months of the year. This increase Is figured against the best ear that the company ha 'eer hud. Tho lncra e In fielght busluev has been about equal to that of the i pavseiiger truffle, with the two romalu , ing months to come In and they are expected to be enormous on account of I the largs quantities of groin going south.
