The envoys of Brazil and Argentina who, with the Chilean minister, con- stitute the mediation tribunal, appar- ently were ready to. accept the report ®s accurate setting forth Huerta’s po- sitios and the ves evinced the keenest inter- est when inquiring if the despatch was | authenticated. Denials were not made | in any quarter, nor was confirmation offered beyond' the statement of one of the delegates that he had not ex- pected an announcement “so_soon.” The attitude of all of the Mexicans in atitendance upon the diplomatic council was similar to that displayed when they were informed in New York, a few davs ago, that the Ger- man ambassador in_Washington had received a despatch from the German minister in Mexico City that Presi- dent Huerta had expressed himself as ready to retire under conditions hon- orable to himself or if necessary to a solution of the Mexicn problem. in spite of the withdrawal of the despatch by The Associated Press the feeling was that- the reported an- nouncement “was merely premature, which phrase was taken from the éx- pression of one of the diplomats here Then he was informed of the correc- ion, Confident of Amicable Settlement. Confidence, not only fn the amicable settlement of the differances between the United States and Mexico, but also in the ultimate pacification of Mexico throusgh the avenues of diplomacy was reflected tonight after the first formal session of the three South American mediators and the representatives of the Huerta goverpment and the United States, Before the correction of the orig- inal Huerta despatch was received, diplomats and deRgates of Huerta would be conditioned upon the making of satisfactory terms con- cerning a successor. It is clear that if an announcement of willingness to retire comes from Huerta in the near future it will be welcomed as making more remote the possibility of any resumption of hostilities between the United States nd Mexico. It was ar- gued also that, with Huerta out, the ! mediat might entertain hope that Carranza and his constitutionalist fol- lowers would be brought into the con- ference to become parties to any agreement reached. Speaking of the erroneous despatch one of the principals of the confer- ence said he regretted that the news Proved premature. He said he felt certain that the anmouncement soon Could be made with confidence that it would stand. _ The , Mexican delegates declined to- day to discuss the specific instructions iven to them before their departure m Mexican capital, beyond say- ing that while-their powers were broad and ample. such questions as the res- ignation’ of Huerta and the conditions under *which it-would be submitted ‘would finally have to be referred to General Huerta himseif for approval. - Dufing the day the Brazilian ambas— sador received a ‘message from the Brazilian minister in Mexico City couched in the most hopeful ,terms ut mediation and indicating, it is tnderstood, that General Huerta was Similar red to relinquish office. ations have come to Buropean diplomats in Washington and for the last three days it has been taken for granted in diplomatic circles generally that the problem before the medin.wrui was not so much the elimination of is ent | Huerta but what was to follow #: retirement, what kind -of governg eould be established, and whaf per- sons would be acceptable to all in- terests In Mexico.

MESSAGE OF DENIAL FROM PRESIDENT HUERTA. | Says® Delogates Have No Instructions to Prasent His Resignation. Mexico City, May 20—Provisional | President Huerta, in the course of an { interview said today: ‘“The Mexican i peace delezates have mo instructions to offer my resignation at the confer- ences at Niagara Falls.” The president spoke with energy, | standing_erect and emphasized his words with a_characteristic gesture of the right hand: Prior to this the acting minister of foreign affairs, Esteva Ruiz, har de- clared that the Mexican representa- tives had been ziven “ample powers” by the government to deal with every- thing that may be discussed at the peace conference, with the object of solving the international dfficulty, S igkmniar e ROOSEVELT GETTING BACK INTO POLITICAL HA!‘NESS Plans Well Under Way for Campaign of 1914—Will Start About July 1st, Upon His Return from Europe. Oyster Bay, N. Y., May 20.—On the first day after his return from South America, Theodore Roosevelt got back into touch with the politival situation and tonight plans were well under way fer the progressive campaign of 1914. A large part of the day Colonel Roosevelt spent in conference with George W. Perkins of New York, chair- man of the executive committee of the progressive national committee. Mr. Perkins has been steadily at Work Isince the -1912 campaign in organizing the new party in all sections of the country and his mission to Oyster Bay was to acquaint the former pres- ident with present day conditions in the field of politics. = Colonel Roosevelt would not discuss his long talk with Mr. Perkins. He said he was not talking politics, Gifford Pinchot, the progressive can- didate for United States senator from Pennsylvania, also had a long meet- ing with Colonel Roosevelt. O. K. Davis of Washington, secre- tary of the national progressive com- mittee, was expected here today, but ‘was unable to come. Colonel Roosevelt's political activi- ties today removed all doubts whether he would take an active part in the campaign this year. It is known that he expects to make one of the most arduous fights of his career. Although no definite plans have been formed, it is probable that in September he will make a trip across the continent, speaking in most of the states. On May 30 Colonel Roosevelt will sail for Spain, for the wedding of his son Kermit. In the intervening period of little more than®a week he will attempt to start into motion the ma- chinery for the campaign and, with other leaders of the party, to decide upon the lines on which the fight is to be made. On his return from Europ™ about July 1 he will begin his cam- paign proper, which 1s expected to keep him hard at work until election da: Won Oratorical Contest. Providence, R. I, May 20.——FHenr K.

NO INFORMATION OF % SILLIMAN OR PARKS Four~'Battleships and Five Destroyers to Be Withdrawn from Mexican Waters, Washington, May 20.—News fro| Mexico City of General Huerta's an- nouncement that the Mexican dele- Bates to the Niasara Falls mediation conference had no instructions to offer his resignation was received in Wash- ington with interest, though it was regarded as having no particular sig- nificance.” Officlals of the Washington government had not expected General Huerta to proclaim readiness to elim- inate himself, Authentic advices through diploma- tic sources, however, gave Washing- ton authentic information several days ago that the Mexican commissioners were clothed with full power to act and had been authorized to agree to the elimination of Huerta if necessary to bring ahout a settlement of theip country’s international and interna- tional troubles. This last step, it was taken for granted, would be taken only aftér it was ‘apparent to the commission- | ers that there was no hope of a set- tlement on any other basis. General slackening of tension in the situation resulted today in the con- sideration of plans at the navy de- pértment which included the with-. drawal of a part of the fleet now on the east coast of Mexico. Acting evc- retary Roosevelt said he hoped that within .a weele-four battleships, five destroyers and a tender would be on the way north. Mr. Roosevelt ex- plained that coundition of the ships which have been in Mexican waters since the beginning of the trouble made it necessary that they be brought back “for efficiency reasons. The state department continued its efforts to obtain information as to the fate of Conmsul John Sulliman at Saitillo. The failure of the Brazilian minister in Mexico City to procure any definite word from Silliman and the failure of the Mexican foreign of- fice to deliver the consul resuited in efforts in other directions. No further official information was forthcoming in the case of Private Samuel Parks. The state department is still without reply to the note in which it demanded 'ormation about Parks and characterized his reported execution as “a hostile and an un- friendly act. BRIDGEPORT VISITED BY CLEVER CRACKSMEN. Got Away: With Jewelry and Money to Value of $1,500.

A publisher of the Augustan era produced 1,000 copies of the sec- ond book of Martial in ten hours and these, sold at about 12 cents aplece, gave him a profit of 100 per cent. This was done by employing slaves care- fully trained to write swiftly and leg- ibly. Working in batches of 100, with an oVerseer dictating the book in hand, the task was completed in a very short time. As soon as the copies were written they were revised corrected, rolled up and bound. Being slaves, the men required only main- tenance from their master and thus he could afford to sell their produc- tions at a very low rate. Hints on table manners have always been welcome. In the Ambrosian U- brary at Milan there is a thirteenth century manuscript, entitled “Fifty Courtesies of the Table,” by one Fra Bonvesin. Here are a few of the fifty: “Let the hands be clean and above all do not at table scratch your head, nor, indeed, any portion of your body.” “Do rot lick your fingers, which Is very ugly and ill bred” ‘Tn eating do not put.too much upon your spoon at one time, for not only will you thus give much embarrassment to your | stomach, but vou will, by eating too | quickly, offend those sitting near.” Again: ‘Wash well your hands and drink good wine.' In the early days of their compositors had no need to worry about quotation marks. Punctuation was then of the simplest, consisting only of am oblique line and a full stop. The’ first book to introduce the colon and notes of in and ex- clamation appears to have been a La- tantius, printed at a monastery noar ’B:g: in_1465. Title were also unknewn in those early days.

New York, May 20—Charles Becker will not be benefitted by the confession alleged to have been made by “Dago Frank” Cirofici shortly before the sunman was eecuted in the electric chair at Sing Sing prison for the part he played in carrying out the plot to murder Herman Rosenthal. “Dago Frank” in the so-called con- fession, was quoted as saying he had | never heard the name of Becker men- tioned in connection with™ the con- spiracy that resulted in the killing of the gambler. Justice Seabury Te- fused to mit testimony corcerning the alleged confession into the record and his ruling was a great disappoint- ment to both Becker and his coun- Justice Seabury explained his actlon by saying that the alleged confession had not been made in affidavit form and sworn to, and had not been made to any one authorized to take a de sition fro ma dying man. . Justice Sea- bury further declaved he was also in- flienced by the fact that it was not permissible to admit testimony deal- ing with incidents that occurred a long time after the commission of a crime. He quoted a number of legal opinions to show upon what grounds he had barred the so-called confession: Mr, Manton, of Becker’s counsel, said !ho would make no further attempt to to get the confassion in the record, but intimated it would play ap important i part in an application for a new trial should Becker be convicted a second time. 3 ‘There are but two more witnesses to testify for the defense.
