T VOL. LVI—NO. 138 NORWICH, Constitutionalist Forces to Railroad Communication With Gulf Coast TO PREVENT RETREAT OF HUERTA AND CABINET Also Reports that Rumors of a Contemplated Federal Attack on Vera Cruz Have Reached a Point Where They Could Not be Entirely Ignored—War Department Officials Not Inclined to Regard the Rumors Seriously—Steamer An- tilla With Munitions of American Delegates and Flat Disagreement Over President of Mexico- Washington, June 10.—Railroad com- unication between Mexico City and Vera Cruz is menaced by constitution- alist forces, Brigadier General Fun- ston reporied tonight to the war de- partment. From sources in touch with the con- stitutionalist agency here, it was learn- ed that the particular object of the sctivity of Carranza's troops at Vera Cruz state is to cut off all means of retreat for Huerta and his cabinet in case they determine to quit the cap- al. The constitutionalist forces in Vera Cruz state, numbering about 3,000, are said to be disposed so that thev might be able to cut not only the raiiroad beggveen Mexico City and Vera Cruz, | bul aiso the line between the capitai and Puerto Mexico. The forces are under command of General Aguilar and his chief of staff is Colonel Man- uel Perez Romero, a brother-in-law of the late President Madero. Inter- ruption of communication between the capital and the eastern seaboard has been in contemplation by the consti- tutionalists for the last six months, it was said tonizht. H May Appeal for Huerta’s Safety. | Tt has been understood here that the South American mediators are pre- pared to make an appeal for Huerta's ersonal safety if his government col- apses before the conclusion of the Niagara conference. Administration officials were mnot greatly alarmed over threatened cuts of communication between Mexico City and the gulf ports. because virtually all Americans who wanted to leave the capital and nearby interior points | " The Bulletin’s Circulation in Norwich is Double That of Any Other . P: ALARMING REPORTS FROM FUNSTON Cut Off Mexico City From War Off Tampico Today— Peace Plenipotentiaries Have Appointment of Provisional No names have been suggested yet for the provisional presidency, but in arguing about the type of man for the post, the American _delegates have taken into account that the constitu- tionists claim there would be little chance of pacifying all the elements in their party and persuading their immense army to lay down its arms unless the man chosen commanded the absolute confidence of their cause. Only a person prominent in their movement could have that influence, they say. The American delcgates are not insisting on General Carranza or General Villa, or any of the other military chiefs for provisional presi- dent, but they do believe a constitu tionalist should be chosen who is broad-minded enough to be trusted by all factions in Mexico. Tomorrow the mediators expect to discuss these points in detail with the Mexican delegates. Confident Differences Will Be Adjusted The mediators shed no light today on_how they intend to surmount these | difficulties, but ome of their number saig he felt confident no obstacle could arise which would disrupt me- diation and that all differences would Dbe_reconciled, Even the mediators concede that the man selected to succeed Huerta tem- porarily must be a constitutionalist | sympathizer. They admit that prob- ably a majority of the peopie of Mex- jco favor the reform movement rep- resented by Huerta's opponents, even though the larger territory controlled by Carranza contains a minority of the population. The mediators feel ~that the time has arrived to take up the reached safety some time ago. General Funston also reported that rumors of a contemplated federal at- tack on Vera Cruz persisted to the polnt where they could not be entirely gnored. War department officials, however, were not inclined to regard the rumors seriously. 1 SERIOUS DIFFERENCES { DEVELOP AT OONF‘BRENCEi | i American Delegates ‘and Mediation Plenipotentiaries Clash on Two Vital Points—One Is Appointment of Pro- visional President, Niagara Falls, One., June 10.—Dif- ferences of opinion so serious that they imperil the continuance of the conferences here have developed be- tween the American delegates and the mdiation plnipotentiaries. On two vital points there is flat disagreement. Points of Difference. First, the mediators representing | presumably the viewpoint of the Mex- fcan delegates, are insisting that the | provisional president of Mexico shall | be a neutral who shall not have been an active partisan in the constitution- alist cause. I The American delegates have em- phatically stated that unless the choice falls upon a man of distinct consti- | tutionalist sympathies, not necessarily | a mii chief or leader, but one | who would command their confidence, there can be no hope of constitutional acceptance or any peace programme adopied here. Secondly. the United ment is unalterably determined that the method of transition from the present regime to the new Zowvernment shall not he through the appointment by General Hueria. as minister of for- eign affairs. of the man agreed upon for provisional president. To permit him to exercise the constitutional func- tion of naming his successor, accord- ing to the American viewpoint, would be equivalent to recognition of the Huerta government. View Opposed by Mediators. This view is forcefully opposed by the mediators, who argue that inas- much as tne world will know the me- diation conference had selected the #xt provisional president, the form of succession is not important. Which is the greater sacrifice, the medtators asked. for General Huerta to name a minister of foreign affairs whose political principles are not in | accord with his own and then to have | the latter almost immediately succeed- | ed him as provisional president of Mexico, or for the United States to yield on the technicality as to the manner in which the transfer shou he made” This is the argument wh ther have presented tp the America Fovernment Constitutionalists Will Not Huerta Appointee, The American delegates are against | what the mediators term the cons: tutional method of succession, not oni because of their government's consist ent policy of non-recognition of Huer- ta. but because the constitutionalists have informed Washington that they will never accept a Huerta appointee as provisional president ‘and peace ; cannot be restored without their ac- quiescence. The mediators were wholly occupled today with a discussion of these points among themseives. They did not con- fer with either the American of Mex- ican delegates. The latter indicated that they considered the method of succession a technicality, but would not deflnitely say whether they would vlela their posttion.

SYLVIA PANKHURST FAILED TO INTERVIEW PREMIER ASQUITH. Arrested for Eighth Time and Proces- | sion Dispersed by Police. London, June 10.—Miss Sylvia Pans- hurst was not even permitted to ap- proach Westminster tonight to inter- view Premier Asquith. The proposed visit to the prime minister was ar- ranged for some days ago by Miss| Pankhurst and other militant leaders, | and it was decided last night that she should be carried shoulder-high in the | procession, as she was not considered | rong enough to bear the strain of | what promised to be an arduous jour- ney.

ACCUSED OF EXERTING S HYPNOTIC INFLUENCE Rev. Cranston Brenton Denies That He Tried His Powers on His Moth- er-in-Law. Hartford, Conn., June 10.—Rev. Cranston Brenton was accused of ex- erting a hypnotic influence over Mrs. Frederick E. Holman and her mother, Mrs, Curtis, by Attorney David E. Fitzgerald, at the afternoon session of the 000 conspiracy_ suit, in the United States court. Under a gruel- ling cross examination Mr., Brenton admitted that he was interested in the subject in a general way. He had writ- ten a series of articles on it. He de- nied emphatically that he had ever tried to exert hypnotic powers over his_mother-in-law or wife. Dr. George B. Landers of the Pres- byterian hospftal, New York, who was in charge of one of the wards at Brat- tleboro, where it is claimed Mr. Hol- man was incarcerated, was on the witness stand for a considerable time. He told of conditions at the institu- tion. Mrs. Holman, he said, was a voluntary inmate and was in what is known @s the parlor ward He ad- mitted; however, that the ward was always locked and that the inmates were not free to go and come as they chose. ; It is probable that the trial will last through the week. INCENDIARY FIRE IN TENEMENT AT MERIDEN Man Kicked Fire Marshal in Stomach and Departed on Run. Meriden, Conn., June 10.—An incin- diary fire in a Pratt street tenement house tonight resulted in the arrest of Mrs. Clara Kanischer, aged 47, the owner, on a charge of arson. Two days ago the police found kerosene soaked underwear and a candle in the blind attic of the building close to the rafter where a fire had been started but had been extinguished by the ten- ants. The suspicions of the police were aroused and the inflammable stuff was left in its original location for a decoy and a watch kept on the build- ing, About § o'clock tonight a man came out of the tenement and when questioned by Fire Marshal Lucas dealt him a severe blow in the stom- ach and kickeq him in the thigh and then departed on the run. Investi- gation showed the building had been set afire only a few moments before and the fire department was called to extinguish the blaze. Mrs. Kanischer would make no admissions of conspi- racy and claimed ignorance of the in- cendiary. The building was Insured for $3,000. In 1909 Mrs. Kanischer's husband was arrested on the charze of arson, but was discharged for lack of evidence. Since then there have been three fires in buildings owned by Mrs. Kanischer.

Sandy Hook, June 10.—Rigging acci- dents retired the Defiance in her first effort to show her raeing abilities tu- day and left to her rival cup class sloops, Resolute and Vanitie, a 30-mile duel over a windward and leeward course off Sandy Hook. Resolute won by 7 minutes and 29 seconds eorrected time. Defiance broke one of her aluminum blocks and pulled a stray en her bow- sprit, but her owners expect her to be in conditi \n to race tomorrow. Fas est Time Ever Made. Resolute ' covered the 15 miles to windward and return in 3 hours, 1§ minutes, 41 seconds, the fastest time ever made over such an America’s cup course. The regatta committee announced that Vanitie allowed Resolute 3 min- utes, 13 seconds. This was the first time that the time allowance has been openly stated. Resolute Captured Weather Berth Resolute captured the weather berth She at the line and led from the start. increased her lead to 4 minute: seconds in the 15-mile thrash to ward against a 12-knot southwester. The Herreshoff creation also outran the Gardner boat for the first lime 1 > day. adding 34 seconds to her le: the ‘spinnaker run. The race was s in a steady breeze. Defiance in Poor Shape. The dropping out of Defiance was a distinct disappointment. The tri-c vacht, however, was in poor shape for racing, and trouble with a block which was partially repaired before the start did not improve her chances. Her skipper, George M. Pynchon, made a game effort to race An ill-fitting fort to fight for a place at the start. She hung about to the windward of the lightship and let Resolute and Vanitie frolic about and cross ahead. In fact, the Owen boat was 29 seconds behind the handicap signal. Once across, Mr. Pynchon split, tacks with the other two vachts and took a long board inshore. Defiance was given a good full, but even then she did not head within a dozen points\of the other two yachts, fighting it out to windward. She kept the port tack untfl close to the Jersey shore, when she came about and start- ed after her rivals, who were then nearly two miles ahead. She held along shore for three or four miles, when the bowsprit strap broke; then she eased off her main sheet and hea i- ed back into the Sandy Hook horse- shoe. Great Struggle to Outer Mark. Left to_continue the contest, Res>- lute and Vanitie had a great struggle to the outer mark off Long Branch. The Herreshoff boat seemed a trile tender, but she headed higher and footed a trifie faster than the Gardn-r creation. perceptible, but the greater part of the four minute margin at the turn was captured in the last two miles, whea Vanitie hauled down a small baby iib topsail. In the other three complete races which the two yachts have sailed Van- itie has outrun Resolute. Today the Gardner boat could make no gain on her rival down to the wind. The vachts will have a chance to- morrew to race over the 30-mile trian- gular course off the Hook. THREE DROWNINGS IN COLORADO RIVER FLOOD.

Chicago, June 10.—The subject of dress came before the women gathered here today for the biennial convention of General Federation of Women's clubs. Mrs. Robert J.
