No. 176 MEET HOERTA 19 SEA VIGTIMG [wi I SHOAD: PN DKL THIS IS STATEMENT OF CARRAN- ZA'S AGENT President and Cabinet Met, Their Decision Not Made Public But (By Associated Press.) Washington, June 2.—Rafael Zu- baren, head constitutionalist agent here, declared that the constitution- alists have nothing to mediate with Huerta anq can meet him at sword's point only. —— (By Associateq Press.) Niagara Falls, June 2.—The me- diation conference is still deadlocked over the constitutionalist represen- tation. Huerta and the United States delegates are waiting for informa- tion about the character anq ability of the persons who have been sug- gested for Mexico's provisional gov- ernment. Huerta's delegates have not heard from Mexico City regarding the con- stitutionalist barticipation. The U. S. mission has not finisheq discuss- ing the matter with the mediators. Carranza'’s statement of his views of the mediation will probably delay the negotiations.

He said that is the mediators’ purpose. The officials here woulq not discuss the statement. The mediators said it did not change thair position.

Wages for Wives? New York, June 2.—Should wives be paid a salary? Many think that as {the wife is one of the chief factors in the creation of family wealth, the husbang should pay her a regular salary. That might be all very well, if there were a definite standard in wifely work, but it would be rather unfair for a man to be compelled not jonly to support a lazy wife, but to {have to give her a salary besides. [M" Florence (ooley, a most loyal suffragette, is opposeq to the idea, claiming “it would put a premium lazy, unscientifte housekeeping, anqd a salarieq wife could neither be fired nor quit.” Mrs. Cooley ex- claimed, “There ought to be some | | of establishing definitely a wife's share in her husband's income s0 long as she has no income of her own. But I can’t see how a salary for wives will help in any way. 't on way seems to me an unfair plan for thoth.” Our Worst Enemies | Prof. C. K.

New York, June 2.—Five hundred tons of ammunition for Mexican con- stitutionalists has arrived here from Bridgeport, but will not be allowed to leave here.
