It was de- clared in official quarters that the burden of the inter-communication re- lated to the hitch in the progress of negotiations which has arisen since the note was sent last week to the South American mediators outlining the position of the Mexican constitu- ticnalists. It further was reported that the matter of recognizing or rejecting Tepresentatives of the constitutional- ists as participants in the peace con- ference now was squarely up to the mediators themsefves. Observers at Niagara Falls report- ed that General Huerta's representa- tives had regarded the appearance of Carranza’s emissary with a degree of favor, as indicating hope for futuse Peace in Mexico, and that they had decided to leave the matter of receiv- ing .constitutionalist agents nto the conference entirely to the South Amer- dcan envoys. This determination, it was asserted, was reached by the Mexican delegates on the day that Mr. Urquidi, representing Rafael Zubaran, arrived from Washington with the Carranza note. Since that time, it ‘was said, Huerta’s agents have not sought to exert any influence over the mediators regarding the proposal to broaden the scope of the conference.

President Wilson Optimistic. Ailthough he reneweq audiences with the newspaper correspondents today, the president declined to talk about Mexico in view of the mediation ne- gotiations. He appeared. however, to look mn recent developments opti- mistic 3 ‘Whether mediation would come to naught in case the South American envoys should determine to reject ail proposals for enlarging the scope of the conference so as to include rep- resentatives of the Mexican revolu- tionists, was the uppermost subject of discussion throughout the day in ‘Washington. Many believed that the original proposal for ‘a protocol to be #signed by the United States and Huerta's representatives would be ad- hered to, and that the United States ‘would then await developments, hop- ing that influence could be brought to bear which would result in a reorgan- ization of the governmental affairs in Mexico, with friendly participation by constitutionalist leaders after the TUnited States and Huerta had settled their differences. Others thought that the constitutionalists would increase the vigor of their warfare against the Huerta regime, capture the govern- ment at Mexico-City, and then protest that there was nothing to mediate. Some definite announcement from the mediators regarding the problem is hourly expected here. Representa- tives of the constitutionalists, among them Mr. Zubaran, Luis Cabrera, Jode Vasconceles, and their American mgents. conferred again during the They insisted that no news had received to alter their position. .

These ships are later re-clear- ed for Mexico. Some ammunition for the constitutionalist forces, it is re- orted, has Deen forwarded in this anner. Administration officials have uni- formly declined to make any definite statement as to the policy regarding the admission of arms -into Mexico, but there is ground for the belief that, under pressure from foreign govern- fuents, there soon may he some au- thorltative pronouncement on the sub- ding General Funston’s ection in levying fines upon the Ger- Mman Kners Ypiranga and Bavaria for frregularity in landing their cargoes of munitions of war, Secretary Garrison’ there might be an.appeal from | German govern 2 to be landed at Tampico.and Mata- ‘morps. SITUATION NOT CLARIFIED! BY CARRANZA MESSAGE Mediators Want to Know Whether Rebel Leader Will Agree to Armis- tice, Niagara Falls, Ont., June 1.—More explicit information about the atti- tude of General Carranza than was contained in his last communicagion brought by Juan F. Urquidi om the unofficial statement to the presd tel- egrapheq from Durango tonight is |awaited by the mediators before de- ciding on the subject of constitution- alist representation here. This may be obtained from the Washington gov- ernment. The mediators are preparing a re- ply to the message brought by Ur- quidi. The statement from Durango did not clarify the situation as to the points they are interested in: whether Carranze will agree to an armistice, for ten days or two weeks, or more and whether his representatives would agree to discuss the -entire subject of pacification of Mexico. The expression from Durango did not alter the opinion of the mediators toward the _constitutional diplomats claim that fros he ve outset they have kept the interests of the constitutionalists in mind and }have planned to give them as great a share in the new government as is proportionate with their strength. As to the military side, the concen- tration of federal! forces at San ILuis Potosi, where the Huerta troops are confident of checking the <constitu- tionalist advance is in line with the general belief here that the capture of Mexico City is still months away. S Sl HAS HUERTA FAMILY | 77. "SAILED ON GERMAN SHIP? Rumaored That Senora Huerto and Her Four Sons Are Aboard Ypiranga. Vera Cruz, June 1.—Coincident with the sailing of the Hamburg-American steamer Ypiranga from here late to- day persistent rumors, originating in Mexico City and brought to Vera Cruz by refugees, were circulated that Sen- ora Huerta and her four sons were aboard the ship. The Ypiranga clear- ed for Europe by way of Havana. As she left the harbor the German cruiser Dresden unexpectedly hauled up her anchor and followed to sea. There was a report also that the liner's destination was Puerto Mexico, Neither Brigadier General Funston nor any other army or navy officer heard the rumor that some of the Huerta family were abpard the Ypi- ranga until after the steamer had sailed.. There is no means to verify the report or to get a positive denial. A similar repart of a more vague nature was ‘in circulation Saturday, but this the ship's officers and agents denied. There was an lelement of mystery, however, in eight locked staterooms, which were originally re. served for Dr. Urrutia, the former minister of the interior, and which were not otherwise disposed /of, al- though he had proceeded to the United States aboard the transport Hancock. HOTEL PROPRIETOR SUICIDES. DOMESTIC TROUBLE CAUSE. Blew Out His Brains With Shotgun at Washington, Conn. Washington, Conn., June 1.—George Farmer, proprietor of a hotel on the shores of Wauramaug lake, blew his brains out with a shotgun tonight in| view of meighbors. It is said that he | and his wife had quarreled and that she is now living in Torrington. Ac- cording to. reports, efforts to effect a reconciliation failed, and it is believed despondency over this fact caused him to_end his life. With a shotzun in his hands he went out on his lawn tonight and fired a shot. Neighbors heard it and asked him what he was shooting at, the reply being “Rats!” A moment later there was - another report and Farmer was seen to fall to the ground. The charge of shot had entered the head. Farmer was twice married. He leaves a son by his first wife and two children, one a babe of five months, by | hl‘; second. He was abbut 50 years o FURTHER RESPITE GRANTED 3 CONVICTED DVNAMITERS.: Given Until June 25 to Surrender | Themselves at Leavenworth Prison. | Chicago, June 1—The date set for | the 24 defendants in the dynamite case | to surrender themselves at the prison | at Leavenworth or to the United States | marshall was today deferred from June 6, the date originally set, to June 1 The respite is due to the fact that | President Wilson needs more time to | study the petitions for their pardonm, presented when the last court decision | went against them.

WHITMAN CANDIDATE FOR GUBERNATORIAL NOMINATION Announced Last Night That He Ex- Pects to Run at Republican Pri- maries. New York, June 1.—District Attorney ‘Charles S. Whitman of New York to- night announced his candidacy for the republican nomination for governor. “I expect to be a candidate for the nomination for governor in the repub- lican primaries,” he said. It was learned also that & movement had been launched with the design of procuring Mr. Whitman's nomination both on the republican and progressive tickets. For this purpose it is planned to hold a non-partisan mass meeting in Syracuse in the last week of July, to name a ticket headed by Mr. Whit- man, and seconded by men in sympa- thy with the district attorney’s views, for presentation at both the republican and progressive nrimaries. ' The move: ment has been inaugurated without the knowledge of many progressive lead ers and in spite of their opposition to ay_such project. Mr. Whitman's announcement of his candidacy came when this project was laid before him tonight. The district attorney dictated a_brief statement of his position, and added there was not another word he could say. Here is his statement: “I have nothing to say except that I expect to be a candidate for the nomi- nation for governor in the republican primaries, and that I have entered into no-deal or arrangement with anybody as to my nomination, and that I shall not make any such arrangement to en. ter into any such deal with anybody.” Some time before he sailed for Spain on Saturday Colonel Roosevelt was acquainted with the plan for a mon- partisan Whitman movement, accord- ing to its principal sponsor, Charles H. } Duell, Jr, a New York lawyer, who ‘was active in the progressive campaign of 1912, Mr. Duell said tonight that ‘Colonel Roosevelt had given him posi- tive assurance that he would support the plan. \ FIRST COMPETITIVE TEST 4y OF RACING YACHTS TODAY. Resolute and Vanitie Contest in Long Island Sound. New York, June 1.—The first com- petitive test of the sailing abilities of two of the centerboard boats built this spring for the defense of the Ameri- ca’s cup Wil occur in the race tomor- row on Long Island sound between the Resolute and Vanitie. The third in- tended cup defender, the Deflance, will mnot enter the yacht racing arefa until later in the week, owing to changes that are being made in her rig. The contest tomorrow will be over a 30-mile course, probably triangular, with the start and finish off Great Cap- tain’s Island, at the entrance to Port- chester harbor. It will be managed by the New York Yacht club. The two vachts will race again under the same managemert Wednesday and Thurs- day. Saturday ‘the Larchmont Yacht club will give the boats a contest over the same course. All the races this week, as well as others to be held in Long Island sound and off Sandy Hook this month, are preliminary to additional tests off New. port in July and Au Of the two boats which will race to- morrow, the Resokute is in better shape, for the Vanitie has been under sail scarcely more than a week. The Resolute had her first trial off Bristol May 3, and while she frequently has put back into the builders’ yard for al- terations in her rig, her manager, R. ‘W. Emmons, 2d, her skipper, Charies F. Adams, 2d, and her officers and crew are quite familiar with her whims. On the other hand, the Vanitie is an almost unkrown proposition, even to those on board. No Tangoing for Boston’s Mayor. Boston, June 1.—“Not for $16,000 a season,” replied Mayor Curley today, when an offer of $1,600 was made for the use of the city’s refectory build- ing at Franklin park for “tango” par- ties .

Quarter Billion—OQil Companies Con- tested Validity. Los Angeles, Calif,, June 1-—A with- drawal order by which William, H. Tafi, in_ 1999, while president,s ex- empted from ‘entry government lands in California variously estimated in value at from $250,000,000 to $1,000,000,- 000 was declared invalid in & decision by Judge Maurice T. Dooling of the Unite datStec any- dagtservants,?us United States district court of San Francisco. which reached Los Angeles by mall today. Judge Dooling heard the case In Los Angeles, sitting in place of Judge Olin Wellborn, wha considered himself disqualived. The former president had planned to provide a great source of fuel for the American navy by excmpting the oil land from entry by private locators. The decision gives the Midway Oil company and the Standard Oil com- pany, the principal defendants, undis- puted possession. Similar minor ac- tions now pending will be affected by the decision. Judge Dooling, In his ruling, says: “The effect of these withdrawal orders is to suspend the mineral laws of the United States. The executive power cannot permanently affect such legislation. 5 “I am not content to seek for au- thority for these withdrawals in the dicta of decisions or in some shadowy twilight zone lying between the pow- ers expressly granted to congress and the powers expressly granted to the president. E “The promulgation of the withdraw- al orders in question, I believe to be one ramification of. a growing tenden- cy to cencentrate in the executive more power than can be traced to any specific constitutional of legisla- tive provision. 1 therefore will den the application for an order restrain- ing the defendants from further use of the land.” A SIERRA NEVADA PEAK IN ERUPTION Large Boulders Have Been Ejocted from Crater—Ashes - Cover Ground for Three Mi Reddigg, Calif..

Thompsonville, Conn., June 1.—That an official announcement of the pur- chase by the Hartford Carpet com- pany of this town of the mills of the mills of the Bigelow Carpet company at Lowell and Ciinton, Mass., or that the proposal to purchase had not been accepted might be expected within a few days, was the substance of a state- ment by General Manager Alvin E. Higgins, of the local mills, today. On Friday Mr. Higgins and a force of overseers and clerical employes of the Hartford Carpet company went to Lowell and Clinton for the purpose of making inventories. Negotiations for sale of these mills have been in progress for soms time and the inven- tories were made to check up quick asscts.

Montreal, June 1.—Now that the first burSt of excitement and grief over the sinking of the Canadian Pacific liner Empress of Ireland has partially spent itself, the public generally is settling down to await the result of the goven- ment’s inquiry to fix the responsibility for the disaster that resulted in the doss of nearly a thousand lives: A Toyal commission of three was ap. pointed teday to investigate the ram- ming and sinking early Friday morning of the Empress of Ireland by the Nor- wegian collier Storstad. The three men who will comprise the investigating tribunal are Sir Adolph Routhier, judge of the court of admir- alty of Quebec, and the Hon. Ezekiel MMcLeod, chief justice and judge of the admiralty court of New Brunswick, appointed by the Canadian govern- ment, and George L Vaux, of the legal staff of the British board of trade. Mr. Vaux sailed from England today to be present at the hearings, which will be- &in June 9, | Pending the convening of the com- mission of inquiry, Captain Lindsay Dominion wreck commissioner, will continue the preliminary investigation begun today by taking testimony of { survivors of the disaster and the mem- bers of the crew of the Storstad and assembling evidence for the use of the commissioners. The second step in the legal battle arising out of the sinking of the Em- press of Ireland will be taken tomor- row, when attorneys for the owners of the Storstad will appear in the ad- miralty division of the exchequer ask that the collier be released from arrest. on the tonnage of the collier, repre- Sents, according to the contention of counsel, the maximum liability of the the Canadian Pacific railway. The depositing of the bonds will be in no wise an acknowledgment of re- sponsibility by the owners of the Stor- stad for the disaster. It simply will be @ formality usgally followed in such cases, The bond will remain in the possession of the court until the merits of the controversy between the two Steamship companies are legally set- Until the arrival of Mr. Vaux, rep- resentative of the British board of trade, a decision as to whether the inquiry is to be held in Quebec or Montreal will not be made. It is prob. able that a representative of the Brit- ish admiralty will make the fourth ‘member of the commission.
