NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, JUNE 2, 1914. CARRANEA ATTACKS "1 B, €. MEDITORS 'ehsl Chief Asserts Huerta Is Out of Question in Situation. El Paso, Tex., June 2.—A semi- QoMfcial statement from General Car- ranza's headquarters at Durango crit- icising the actions of the A. B. C. mediators at Niagara Falls, and an announcement from General Villa re- iterating his alleglance as a military leader to Carranza were made here yesterday. Villa arrived at Chihua- hua City from Torreon on his way for & visit to Juarez. Carranza was re- ported as having begun preparations to move by way of Torreon to Saltillo, where he will perfect his provisional government. The . statement from Durango, where Carranza’s provisional govern- ment was established several days ago, was addressed to the press of the United States with a note to the effect that it had officlal sanction, al- though it was not a formal declara- tion. The telegram, in English, ar- rived here over the National Tele- graph wires. A copy follows: “Lack of Understanding.” “The dominant sentiment of the constitutionalists regarding the pro- ceedings_of the mediation commis- sion at Niagara Falls is one of tonishment that there should be such an apparent lack of understand- ing on the part of that body not only with regard to conditions in Mexico, but as to the attitude of the consti- tutionalists regarding the mediators. This lack of understanding is not confined to the commissioners them- selves, but seems to be shared by a large portion of the American press s well as by the Washington gov- ernment. “Judging from what has been pub- lished from day to aay, the mediators appear to consider General Carranza and his followers as a negligible quan- #ity, scarcely worthy of attention and who perforce must agree to what- ever conclusion the commission may reach. They do not seem to be aware of the fact that the constitutionalists are conquerors, that they have in- augurated and carried almost to suc- | ‘Tessful completion a revolution and that this means the establishment of a government entitled to recognition by the rest of the world. The recent successes. of the constitutionalist army and others that are imminent, are conclusive proof that the power of ?B.\erm is practically ended. His trbops will not fight. They either run away or join their opponents with every sign of willingness. ““All that prevents the constitution- mlists from entering Mexico City is the physical obstacle of the destruc- tion of the railroads. With communi- cation restored, which is being ac- complished with" rapidity, the army would be in Mexico City in less than a week. Ignoring the Situation. . “Yet the constitutionalist leaders point to the deliberations of the com- missions and the statements of the press as absolutely ignoring this sit- uation. The peace commission even gces so far as to propose that the con- sfitutionalists recognize whatever pro- visional government they decide to set up and to declare that they must be forced to recognize that government or be crushed. “The constitutionalists are wonder- ing how they are to be forced to do 80 in view of their present accom- plishments and by whom they are to Jbe crushed if they decline to obey the commission. Calmly, too, the com- mission proposes that Huerta shall be permitted to be a candidate for the presidency in order. merely to save his face. Do they think the constiuion- alists will consent to that any more than they will consent to recognize a provisional government constituted, as the commission proposes, of one per- son selected by Huerta, one by them- ‘selves and one, perhaps, but not at all Iikely, by the constitutionalists? “No one, the constitutionalist lead- ers point to, who has had any ac- quaintance with the projects and pur- poses of their movements, would fancy for a single moment that they would ever consent that they would have anyvthing whatever to do with any one friendly to, or heretofore con- neeted with Huerta. The constitu- tionalists make it plain beyond ques- n -that they will recognize a gov- ernment established under the plan of Guadalupe at the triumph of the revo- lutfon. According to his plan the commander in chief of the constitu- tionalist army will be the provisional president of the Mexican republic, while the elections are being verified and constitutionalist order is restored to the country. Dictation of Conquered, “They point out the fact that con- querers are not usually wont to per- mit the conquered to dictate the terms of peace, which is practically what is to be asked of them by the com- mission. Constitutionalists are - es- pecially caustic in their comment on the proposal of the commission to take up the agrarian question and propose some form of settlement. ey declare that this is purely an in- térnal problem and that they will tolerate no outside Interference. In- deed this is their attitude with regard to the entire proceedings of the media- tion commission. They declare that let alone they will settle the entire exican problem in a few months, and in proof of their ability to do this, point to what they have already ac- complished in the way of driving the federals from two-thirds of the counry with the imminent prospect of secur- Ing the other third in no great time. Ax “They point also to what they have ady done and are doing in set- tling the agrarian problem, How and by Whom? “When shown statements bearing the inference that should the Niagara Falls plan not be agreeable to the constitutionalists they would be forced to accept it or be crushed, the con- stitutionalist leaders ask, “how and by whom?” They poiat out that the al- leged object of the Niagara Falls con- ference was to promote peaceful set- tlement. ~ With nearly two-thirds of Mexico in their control and now be- ing restored to a basis ot peace, after four years of civil strife, the consti- tutionalist leaders fail to see what peaceful measures could be brought to bear to constrain them to accept the plan. They assert that, with an army of approximately 50,000 men in the fleld, the occupation of the re- mainder of Mexico the capture of the capital and the elimination of Huerta and his followeds are matters of not more than two months. Should any or all of the foreign nations party to the conference at Niagara Falls de- cide, as a result of that conference, called to promote peace, to use force to secure acceptance of their plan, the constitutionalists feel that it would present a situation so contradictory as to be ludicrous. The announcement that a basis had been secured for the solution of the agrarian question was received with laughter. The con- stitutionalists do not recognize the right of the mediators to rule concern- ing this subject, especially as the stand of the Huerta party on the matter largely was responsible for the un- rest in Mexico. “The constitutionalists assert the foreign mediators have not been able to settle this question in their own countries and yet they apparently take it upon themselves to settle so grave a matter for a country of whose local conditions they must be ignor- ant. The leaders explain the agrarian problem is one for local settlement, and that the only parties to the Nia- gara plan who understand local ditions_are men who hold radically opposite views to those of the great majority in Mexico. The inference that Huerta might become a candidate for president at a future election is regarded as impossible. He is re- garded as a criminal by the constitu- tionalists and that he should be a can- didate for anything' but the guillotine or the electric chair is not considered seriously by them.” ROOSEVELT TO SPEAK AT HARTFORD JULY 23 Progressive State Will Be Held in Capital City Wide Conference on That Date. Hartford, Conn., June 2,—It was an- nounced yesterday at progressive headquarters that Colonel Roosevelt will speak at Hartford on July 23, at the progressive state-wide conference to be held there on that date. This will be a great gathering of progressives from" all over the state. In accordance with the vote of the state central committee, the state campaign will be opened with this conference for the consideration of the issues before the state and the lines of action to be pursued by the party. There will probably be an afternoon, or all-day, session for such general matters, a banquet under the auspices of the Hartford Progressive club, and the conference will con- clude with the address by Colonel Roosevelt. All progressives are in- vited to be present. The arrangements for the confer- ence are in charge of a committee of the state central committee, con- sisting of George A. Romanc of Dan- bury, Yandell Henderson of New Ha- ven, H. R. Branche of Norwich, A. W. Olds of Windsor and Joseph W. Alsop of Avon. The banquet wH1 be han- dled by a committee of the Hartford Progressive club. These committees will meet soon and the details of the conference and banquet will shortly be announced. GRADUATING EXERCISES, -five Young Ladies Receive DI- plomas from Northficld Seminary. East Northfield, Mass., June 2.—At the thirty-fifth annual graduating ex- ercises of Northfield seminary this morning, diplomas were given to fifty- five young women, the largest class ever graduated from either of the schools founded by Dwight L. Moody. The exercises were in the auditoriym Where the meetings of the Northfield summer conferences *are held and in the presence of the largest group of former Moody students that ever as- sembled. Willlam R. Moody, son of the evangelist and president of the Northfield schools, presided, and the diplomas were presented by Principal Charles E. Dickerson. The com- mencement address was delivered by the Rev. Wilton Merle Smith of New York city. The graduates represent eight states, Porto Rico, Cuba and India. Seventeen of them held scholarship honors in the seminary and twenty- three will continue their studies in other institutions. VETO SUSTAINED. Miania Women Fall to Obtain Repre- sentation in City Government. Atlanta, Ga., June 2.—Women of Atlanta who desire to participate po- litically in the administration of the city's affairs failed vesterday in their efforts to obtain representation in the educational, library, hospital and park boards of the city, the council sus- taining Mayor Woodward's veto of a charter increasing membership of the boards from twelve to seventeen and providing that the new members be women. Today, however, the women renewed hope of obtaining represen- tation. Mayor Woodward declared hig reason for vetoing the amend- ment was his belief that increasing the membership would make the board unwieldy. He stated that if an amendment is adopted allowing board memberships to remain at twelve, but providing for filling va- cancies as they occur with a limited number of women, he would approve the measure, . con- | T he Vanitie is Most Gracefu Of All Cup Defending Yachts Alexander Smith Cochran's cup de- fender, the Vanitie, which made such a good showing on her trial spin, is easily the most graceful |of the three American entrants.

(Continued from Eighth Page.) efficiency. The T-head type may be more powerful. The de- sign of the motor, including the valves, etc., Jdetermines to a greater degree the c.iciency. Theoretically the ‘“valve-in-head” type is supposed to give greater efficiency. It may be much less efficient if not properly constructed. It is reasonable to assume that if an increase of ten horsepower could be obtained due to this construction that the majority of manufacturers would adopt it. The fact remains however, that only a small percentage of manufacturers use this type. . type or L Motoring Department—As a fol- lower of your Motorists' Problems Column since its, first appearance I have looked in Vain for some data regarding the charging of storage batteries by the owner. ¥ I am us- ing a good deal cf light, driving most- ly nights, but as this is the last year of my car I don't like to invest in a generator. I am sure a good many others will welcome any information on this subject. Charging through a bank of lamps how many must I use and what candlepower? How long must the battery remain in chakge, using 110 V. D. C. (Battery 6 V. 60 A)? How can I tell the polarity of the charging current (110 V.)? Can I use the city water for refilling? How can I tell when B. is fully charged without the use of an expensive instrument? Would it be practical to use a small six-volt, gen- erator driven by the motor and charge direct into the battery ?—R. L. Ignition storage batteries are sel- dom charged at a greater rate than five amperes. Instructions on the battery usually call for its being charged at the rate of five amperes until each cell of the battery indi- cates two and one-half volts. Then the charge rate is reduced to approx- imately one-half and the charging con- tinued until each cell registers two and one-half volts. ‘When the high rate of charge is discontinued, the voltage of each cell reduces slightly, hence it is necessary to continue the charge in order to bring each cell up to the full two and one-half volts. Ten sixteen-candle power lamps in parallel and the group in series with the battery will give the desired charging rate. Each lamp registers one-half ampere, so if you want to charge at the rate of two amperes use four lights. You can determine the polarity by immersing the two terminals in a sailt water solution. Air bubbles will form on the negative terminal. Hard water should not be used for filling the batteries. Pure rain water or distilled water should be used. It is quite practical to install a gen- erator which will keep the storage battery charged. This would not be very expensive, and should prove very satisfactory. NAGLE MOBBED BY ' ANGRY HOME FANS He Had Had Fist Fight With Pet Shortstop and Was Attacked With Bats and_Almost Killed. Johnnie Nagle, former catcher of the New Haven club, and now a mem- ber of the Reading club of the Tri- State league, was mobbed by 800 an- gry fans at the termination of a game at Allentown on Saturday. The real trouble started after the Allentown team had retired to the club house and the Reading players were leav- ing the grounds. Nagle, who had engaged in a fist fight with Shortstop George Stutz, at the end of the seventh inning, was severely hurt. He was hit with a bat and cut and bruised about the head and body. Stutz and Nagle had exchanged blows in the middle of the field dur- ing an altercation about a play which had occurred at Reading the day be- fore. The players succeeded in sep- arating the two and everything went well until after the last man was out in the ninth. Immediately a crowd surged on the field and surrounded the Reading players. Some one shouted “‘Get Naggle,” and a rush was made at the visitors. The Reading players, armed with bats, attempted to keep the mob back, but without avail. Realizing his danger, Nagle turned to run, but was hemmed in on all sides. As he was attempting to climb over a small fence inclosing the diamond, he was knocked down by a bat wielded by one of the mob. ‘When he rose, others attacked him, and pummeled him unmercifully. He was covered with blood by the time his companions succeeded in driving the mob back by swinging bats in every direction. Several other [Readinz players were battered, but all succeeded in escaping without serious injury. O’ROURKE FROWNS ON NEW BRITAIN PROTEST Leaggue President Says He Won't Al- low It, as Bridgeport Won by Large and Safe Margin. Bridgeport, June 2.—President O'Rourke said yesterday that he had received New Brit- ain over Sunday's game and under the circumstances he would not allow a protest. If the game had ended with the score of 4 to 3 in Bridge- port’s favor the league executive de- clared he would have sustained New Britain’s protest and ordered the game played over. But since Bridge- port finished five runs ahead, the one run would make no difference in the result. New Britain kicked when Blum was allowed to score from second on a wild pitch that rolled into the Bridge- port bench. President O'Rourke says the ground rule, allowing two bases on a thrown ball into that territory does not cover the case because the trouble was caused by a pitched ball. On a pitched ball that strikes any- thing within ninety feet of the plate, the runner is allowed only one base. no protest from SOX GET NEW Boston, June 2. PITCHER.

The New Britain-New London game at Electric fleld yesterday was called oft in the third inning when the began to copiously. When Umpire Garry called “time’ New London was two to the merry while New Britain had collected nothing but goose egss. The game was delayed five minutes in starting because of a shower. There w no scoring in the first al- though each side got a man on base. After two were out for New London Waite singled. Ray Hancock tried several times to catch him napping at and once “Bill” Luby strolled tcwards Umpire McPartlin, who was giving decisions on the bases, and i a threatening manner, told him that Waite had been put out. Hancock tried it once more and this time caught Waite by about a foot. Noyes was the only man to see first for New Eritain, getting a base on balls. He died on the first sack. In the second Quinn was safe when Tetreault allowed his grounder to go through him. Quinn was caught stealing, Egan's throw being perfect. Then up strode Jake Warner with his trusty shillelah and put the ball over left field fence for a home run. In New Britain's half Dawson singled but was out trying to stretch it into a <Jouble. New the clouds weep Britain's infield became shaky third. Ahearn singled and tried to sacrifice him as Hancock bobbled. Becker skied to Wee Willie Jones and Rock reached first when Zeimer failed to snaggle his grounder. At this point the game was called and was not re- sumed. Jack O'Hara was out of the lineup and his place at second was taken by Tetreault. Paddy Green played in right field and had one put out. 'FAMOUS RACE TRACK TO BE DISMANTLED scene of Santa Anita Turfl Activities Will Be Replaced by Modern Club House. San Francisco, June 2.—The famous Santa Anita race track, near Los An- geles, long a monument to the turf activities of the late E. J. (Lucky) Baldwin, will soon be dismantled. Mrs. Anita Baldwin McClaughey, daughter of the noted turfman, announced last night that she had acquired majority control of the stock of the Los Angeles Racing association and that it was her intention to replace the track with a modern club house, polo grounds and golf links. It was on the' Santa Anita track, ad- joining the Santa Anita Raneho, of which Mrs. McClaughey is owner, that Baldwin passed his declining years in efforts to produce the best hacing thoroughbreds in the world. Of the string that wore his colors on every track in the country, a number still live and are splendidly cared for at Santa Anita. They are Rey El Santa Anita, Cruzados, Santa Anita Star, Noreta, Son of Emperor of Norfolk and Reina De Los Angeles. Among others of Baldwin's stables were Molly McCarthy, on whom Baldwin in one race is said to have won $53,000;Sil- ver Cloud, Volante, Grimstead and other victors through whom Baldwin is reputed to have won more than $1,000,000.
