Such Mates are virtually Independent prllnolpall tles with the border® of the distracted republic. This statement of general conditions Is made by Mexicans to support the Idea that complete American occupa tion is the only thing that will bring lasting peace. There also is an element, of Mexican and American refugees now In Vera Cruz who express doubt that the me diation undertaken by Argentina, Bra zil and Chile or that similar negotia tions will bring about a stable condi tion of the warring factions In the re public or result In the reestablishment of order. They are of the opinion that personal jealousies would prevent the selection of any leader to represent them all and they declare that in their opinion, ambition and'not patriotism actuates a great majority of the Mex ican factlonists. ft Is apparent that local opinion of the future Is most con dieting. Its Solution. Another Idea presented today by thoughtful Mexicans is thut the only solution of the problem lies In a par tial occupation of Mexico by the Unit ed States and the establishment under American protection of a government similar to that formed In Nicaragua which later would he succeeded by duly elected Mexican officials who who have remained in the cify.

Twenty-seven thousand pesos of the bioney secured from Ascarraga was in gold coin, which recently was taken from J. B.

"Benevolent Rule.” Vera Cruz. -The American authori ties are making every endeavor to disseminate through the republic, pic tures of t.bo benevolent rule already established In Vera Cruz. There Is reason to believe also that Washing ton Is quietly working to this Mine end thtough military and clv.tl agents sent here to talk things over with representative Mexicans. These agents have been selected for their knowledge of the Spanish language and their familiarity with Mexico and the Mexicans and. they are said to be making every ujfwfcl /to make plain the disinterested motives ot the Washington administration as welt as Its firm resolve that order he restor ed and a stablo government erected.

But the force of the explosion was so great that masses of earth and rock were dis lodged and the galleries choked. It may he several days before the dead are recovered. COMBATS UTS RATE ADVANCE Brandeis Concludes Argument With Statement: ‘‘Scientific Management” Would Increase Revenues. Washington.—Louis Brandeis, spe cial counsel for the interstate com merce commission In the five per cent advance rate case, concluded his ar gument today In elaborating his con clusions that the net and operating ’ revenues of Eastern railroads are not adequate to afford the roads “assured prosperity,", or “for the welfare of the community.” In announcing his conclusions after exhaustive examination of the testi mony, Mr. Brandeis sumnfhrlzed the situation as follows: Notably True. “On the whole the net Income and net operating revenues of the railroads in official classification territory are smaller than is consistent with their assured prosperity and the welfare of the community; and this Is notably true of the central freight association nnd other Eastern lines. In view of this fact It Is desirable that steps should be taken as promptly as reas onably may bo to Increase this net revenue. "That the method proposed by the carriers for Increasing this net reve nue is essentially unsound; that is, except as to a small part of the tariffs, which have been submitted, contrary to law and would be, If approved, in valid and exceeding the powers vested |by congress In this commission; and as to the small part to which It would be legal to approve them, It would be unwise to the carriers and to the community to aprove them. Definite Means. "That there Is nothing In the con ditions of the carriers which should prevent the adoption of these meth ods of Increasing their revenues which are conflrmHhle and In accordance wttfl their Interests and those of the community; and that there exists and have been Indicated in this record a definite means of Increasing revenues without resort to these unsound, largely illegal and h orlJ!onta l increases In rates." In his argument Mr. Brandeis hark ed back to his statement In the ad vance rate case of 1910. that the solu tion of tho entire problem lies almost entirely In "scientific management.” which "by conservation of effort and resources should he effectual to over come any and all Increases In costs of raw material and labor."

New York.—As May Day is the date that most of the contracts between employers and union employes in the East expire, much significance is at tached to opinions expressed by labor leaders that never before have labor conditions been better than today. They based their statements they, said on the fact that there are no la bor troubles of consequence in the East and that the large army of un employed a few weeks ago has been reduced to a minimum by the opening of much new work. In New York City today was sig nalized by an unusual large number of parades and demonstrations by So cialists and their allied trade unions as “international day.” These pa rades found thousands of garment workers in line and eadh ended with park mass meetings, at which the speakers discussed the eight-hour law and demanded better forking condi tions for factory emploWs. ALL EFFORTS’NOW TO INCLUDE CARRANZAf IN CESSATION HOSTILITIES (Continued from Preceding Page.) it is assumed they still will proceed to the adjustment of the conflict grow ing out of the. Tampico flag incident on which President Wilson’s action was justified by congress, the landing of Aiinerican forces at Vera Cruz and other issues. Meantime while the exact scope of the mediation was in abeyance pend ing Carranza's decision on an armis tice, the envoys continued their ne gotiations to secure some middle ground of agreement with all those those who could be brought to accept it. The Main Issues. Their morning session began with the expectation of afternoon and all night sessions. They were not prepared to make any statement on the main issues involved or to what extent they have been broached to the United United States or the Huerta regime. The principal aim of their diplomacy was to prevent an impasse by having unalterable conditions presented. It was authoritatively known this had been avoided up to the present and that the negotiations were steadily pproceeding. The only question was as to their scope in case the fighting continued in northern Mexico. TAMPICO SITUATION GRAVE (Continued from Preceding Page.) representing the United States, Great Britain and Germany at Tampico, some sort of an understanding may be forced upon them, if necessary, that will result in the protection of the oil wells and tanks and the personnel of the operating corps, the great majority of whom are Americans. The possibility that the constitlon alists might soon succeed in their ef forts to take Tampico is said to be th* underlying reason for reluctance of the state department to adopt aggres sive measure at this time, though it is known that enormous financial lia bilities are being incurred that some one must meet in the end.
