The pro- sal wag forwarded to Carranza im- B mediately following his acceptance of ofii the mediation principlg. It was as- serteq on unquestienatile . authority here today that the envoys had ap- pealed to European governments to exercise their friendly offices to fa cilitate mediation. The appeal, how ever, did not include a request for the powers to use their influence with President Wilson, ag had been eported from abroad. A hopeful sign oday was the instructions issued by fexican cities to return to their bosts and resume their official du- ies. They hag been ordered out of Mexico shortly after the seizure of lera Cruz. The request to the powers, it is aid has already borne fruit, as sev- bral diplomatic representatives of uropean nations have called on ecretary Bryan regarding the mat- er. They denied, however, that they lirgeq any change In the policy of ig government. President Wilson fhdicated to callery today that he is fery hopeful. . While Huerta today denied there- ort that the Mexican port of Man- allo on the Pacific coast had been red on by American warships, in- estigation disclosed that a confla- ation of incendary origin occurred here, but the American forces had othing to do with it, according to iblegrams from Rear Admiral How- d.

FLORIDA STATUE IN PLACE TODAY \\'ashingmu \url] 30.—The first of Florida’s two contributions to the National Hall of Fame wag unveiled today. It is a statue of Dr. John Gorrie, of Apalachicola, inventor of the artificial ice making machine. Senator D. U. Fletcher presided at the ceremonies, and a tiuml)or of world-famed scientists spoke. Miss Emma Stewart, of Bagdad, Florida, a 12-year-old great granddaughter of Dr. Gorrie, unveiled the statue. Dr. Gorrie’s invention is one of the greatest in the history of the human race. In ancient times compressed snow was carried on mule back from the distant mountains to the banquet halls of Rome, and all through the ages ice anq snow were used only as a luxury. Dr. Gorrie, as a physician, kuew the suffering endured by fever patients, and to alleviate this he in- vented a machine for the purpose of 'cooling the roomg in which his pa- tients were. He sought to construct a machine for the cooling of hospi- tals ang in so doing made ice. The ‘ice he manufactureq was in blocks about the size of the ordinary build- ing block and his theories worked so ‘'well that the machines of today are built along the same general princi- ple.
