WILL = PARCEL LAND. Haciendas Will Be Cut Up for Benefit of the Poor of Mexico, NIAGARA FALLS, Ont, May 26.— The mediation conferences have so far progiessed that the actual detalla of a plan for the pacification of Mex- feo are belng discussed. Justice Lamar made ‘his announcement this ‘afternoon after the American dele- gates had just closed a “conversa tion” of nearly two hours with the mediators. “We have begun to discuss the terme and details of a plan of paci- fication,” he said. “On a number of them we find ouraeives in substantial agreement. Others are atill under Giscussion, and as to them there has been no disagreement. We have an appointment to go to Toronto to- morrow to attend @ eocial function there, but we expect to be able to cortinue our meetings along the trip. It is, of course, improper for us to specify the particular pointe under diccussion, or those on which we havo agreed, or those which we have advanced for further conmidpra- ton,” The Mexican delegates to-day re- versed themselves and decided not to issue a statement on the land problem, the big question at issue in the efforts to restore peace in Mexico. After announcing that such a statement would be given out at noon, the delegates held an extended conference during the morning and then changed their minds. It could not be learned whether instructions from Mexico City had resulted Ip the decision. For the first time since Sunday night, the American delegates met with the A BC mediators to-day. Justice Lamar and Frederick W. Lebmann arrived at the Clifton Hotel @t 11.90 and went directly to the conference room for a “conversation” with the Ambassadors, “We will not let the agrarian ques- tien disrupt the mediation proceed- ings,” said one of the Mexican gates to-day. “I think there ie a way ef coming into common accord on thie and other pointe so that we may complete our work very shortly.” The Mexican land question is recognized by all fertile breeder of revolutions and sectional upris- ings. It is-virtually conceded here that “the insistent demand by the United States for a guaranty in precise terms cannot be met by the Mexican representatives, since they have no power firmly to bind such an independent government as this mediation conference aims to bring into existence. The delegates from the United States doubtless will have to content thema6ives with the best pledge the Mexican delegates are able to give, and to reply upon this promise that the arrangement will be honestly carried out. The Mexican delegates are President, the American Government and the mediators te Indicate one who would be acceptable. gases ZAPATA NO BANDIT, AGENT TELLS BRYAN; WANTS RECOGNITION. ‘WASHINGTON, May 26.—An agent of Gen, Emiliano Zapata and the junta in charge of the Zapata movement in Central and Southern Mexico ts here, and at the suggestion of Secretary Bryan, has laid before President Wil- son and the State Department inform- ation tending to controvert statements that Zapata is merely a bandit The agent submitted a statement of ideals, programme and plan of cam- paign of Zapata and his followers, and asked that in any settlement of the Mexican problem full conaideration be given to the Zapatist ‘The Zapatistas base their pretensions on an assertion that they represent the revolutionary movement in the moat thickly settled portion of Mox- leo, containing 75 per cent. of all the lation.

He declined to discuss his experi- ences during his imprisonment until after he had made his official report to Washington. Silliman was extremely weakened, leaned on the arm of a soldier and showed unmistakable signs of sick ness, It was with difficulty that the man whose detention in the Federal lines all but added new complications to the Mexican situation, made his way afoot, in tho broiling sun, across the three-mile break in the ratlroad out- side the American lines, An escort of soldiers was waiting for him, with & atre! but Silliman refused to be carried, “I have no blame for Huerta for Sed bbe eee eee eee 4 ADDY SYBIL GREY DPEEGGOEG E4990 0040-4. 06694-9948 9O0GOH9ODO90 449559 99-004 HF THE EVENING WORLD, TUESDAY, MAY 26, 1914.

The pier ‘was badly damaged. Then the Vater- land etraightened out and headed south, A threatened strike of 210 stewards was avoided shortly before the sailing time of the Vateriand. The stewards had demanded an increase in wagos and better qua and had served notice that If their demands were not attended to by 8 o'clock this morning they would leave the ship. When & o'clock arrived the police force in Hoboken was lined up on and outside the pier. Capt.

LAW IS DODGED NOW. Evening World’s Fight to Pro- “tect the Free Stands Will Soon Be Won. Tho first round in the fight of The Evening World for a square deal for Il public hack owners and incident- lly to compel the Yellow Taxicab Company and others to respect the Taxicab law was begun to-day in the Board of Aldermen when Alderman Willam D. Brush introduced an amendment intended to bring the Yellow Taxicab and other big com- panies within the pale. When the taxicab ordinance was adopted there was one paragraph which, harmless enough on the face, gave the big companies privileges Not enjoyed by the little fellows. It was a sort of Joker reading: “This ordinance shall not apply to or govern any vehicle hired or ob- tained from a livery stable or gar- age, and which does not solicit pat- Tonage upon the streets, nor to any omnibas running by authority of an ordinance, law, charter or permit upon @ fixed route through the city.” Alderman Brush proposes to clear up the situation by killing that clause and having this adopted: “A public hack is a vehicle which uses the streets, highways and public Places of the city for the transporta- tion of passengers, with or without baggage, for hire, pay or compensa- tion of any kind. It makes no differ: ence whether such @ hack 1s hired tn the public streets or in the garage or livery stable or over the telephone.” ‘The tirst ordinance made It possible for the Yellow Taxi Company and others to evade the public hack law by keeping their cara in gi a and by agreements with capper: men in the employ of hotels, who recsived @ commission fur their work, have them called as soon as prospective passengers made their appea Alderman Brush's the ordinance was r mittee. It will be reported out at the next meeting of the Board—a werk from to-day, Both Fusion and Tammany members of the Bietd have agreed to vote for it. Mean- while stories ure being circulated to effect that attempts will be made to “influence” Aldermen against vot- ing for the amendment. Just what shape this “influence” will take is not known, but it is known that a large number of Aldermen have promised to make public any attempts at un- derhand work. 20 SHOTS FIRED ATU. S.

TRINIDAD, Col., May 26.—For the first time since they jumed con- trol in the strike districts of the Colorado coal fields the United States troops were fired on last night, it was learned to-day. The shooting oc- curred at a miners’ camp at Segundo, near Trinidad, where twenty shots were fire: The bullets were aimed at a patrol from a hillside overlooking the camp after a trooper, who had dogged a missile thrown im through a win- dow, answered a shot fired at him from the darkness.

She had gone through the ordeal of hearing sentence in a date, but once outside she went to pteces emotional. |ly. The matron of the county prison, Mra. Minnie Flaherty, could do no- thing to quiet her. | Sheriff James F. O'Brien, who had intended to allow her to remain in the jail until the expiration of the ten days allowed by the sentence be- fore taking her to Sing Sing changed his mind. He, Deputy Sheriff Thom: J. Duane and Mrs. Flaherty started for Sing Sing with her at 2 o'clock. She will be put in a cell which has been built into the off mansion on the hill opposite to the office of the warden at Sing Sing which is used as the home of the principal keeper. A recent change in the law pravided that all the exeeutions in tho State should take place at Sing Sing and as women have never been confined there the new quarters were neves- sary. Three women keepers from Au- burn prison will stand guard over her. Mra, Ferola is the first woman to be sentenced to death in this city | since Mrs, Martha Place was sen- tenced and executed for the murder of her stepdaughter in Brooklyn ft- teen years ago. Mrs. Ferola was found guilty of killing Carmelo Canestrale, who had boarded with her for months at No. 629 Morris avenue. He had promised to marry the widow and she had given him $200. After they had taken out a mari :age license Canestrale re- fused to become her husband unless she gave him $400 more. On Dec. 29 last he was found dead on the bridge over the New Haven Railroad tracks at Park avenue and One Hundred and Forty-ninth street. After a pleas night she walked into the great marble court room with avy bronzed trimmings as though in a trance, her thin brown hands clasped at her waist. A white wool shaw: was thrown over ner shoulders. “Madelina Ferola,” said Clerk Ste- phen Nugent, “do you know any reason why sentence should not be pro- nounced upon you?"
