Ready With List of Names For Dictator’s Successor THE WEATHER Partly cloudy tonight and Wednesday. VOLUME XIX, No. 146. HUERTA FACES SERIOUS STRAITS; TREASURY IS EMPTY, UNREST CROWS As Dictator’s Deleqates at Peace Conference Recede From Oriqinal Position on Land Issue, Renewed Dissatisfaction Evident at the City of Mexico. Washinqton Encouraged Over Peace Prospect. Niagara Falls, Ont. —“We will not let the agrarian question dis rupt the mediation proceedings,” said one of the Mexican delegates today. “I think there is a way of coining into common accord on this and other points so that we may complete our work very short ly.” List of Suitables. Niagara Falls —The Mexican delegates are about ready to present a lift of suitable persons from which to choose a provisional president and the American government and the mediators to indicate one who would be acceptable. They fully expect that the provisional government established as a result of the mediation is to be accorded prompt recognition. American Delegates. Niagara Falls, Ont.—The American delegates and the mediators went into conference shortly before noon. It was the first talk they had since late Sunday night. The interval has been occupied in conferences be tween diplomats and Mexican delegates. Encouragement. Washington, D. C.—Administration chiefs said today they were en couraged by these cordial develop ments in the Mexican situation: The Huerta and American missions at Niagara Falls were nearing accord on the disposition of the troublesome land problem—one of the causes of Mexican unrest. A satisfactory basis for resolving the dispute between the Huerta gov ernment and the United States —the international phase of the equation— was o‘,‘ ?red to have been reached. Considering Proposals. Denial had been made that Carran za had refused to consider any form of mediation proposal's. Some men in the confidence of the constitutional ists declared the northern chief was closely watching proceedings at Nia gara and was seriously considering some proposals. Of those develop ments the view was taken in some quarters that reports that tlie two missions sought to approach the vex ing agrarian problem in a spirit of conciliation, seemed most encourag ing. Hope Grows. The Huerta delegates were said to have receded from their original posi tion that the land issue was for inter nal solution only, while the American mission gave ground for their first viewpoint that it should be settled at the mediation proceedings. With that factor giving promise of adjustment, the hope grew in administration cir cles that further aggressive move* ments by American troops in Mexico could be averted, and peace ultimately restored in the southern republic. To Continue Longer. Reports from Mexico state there was a hopeful feeling among government officials over the conference hut they believed it would continue longer than first anticipated. Carranza’s ultimate position ovef mediation was discussed again todav by observers of the situation. Home took the view that even if the northern ers fought their way into Mexico City there still would be work for a mediating board in helping to establish a consti tutional government; that the good of fices of the South American republics STILLNESS INSTEAD OF BEDLAM AS WOMEN VANDALS JAILED; 2,000 POLICE FOR DERBY Militant Picture Slashers Get Six Months Each.

CHANCES FOR BONDS WINNING IMPROVING FAST EACH DAY Augustans Being Brought to a Realization of the Great Neces sity of the City Finishing the Levee and Continuing to Progress. Must be Two Thirds of Registered Vote to Favor Bonds, So Every Vote is Needed. As the time approaches closer for the bond election which will determine whether or not Augusta is to finish the levee or lapse into a state of “don’t care,” the chances for the bonds to win appear better and better. Two week* ago many people of this citv really appeared not to care whether the bond issue passed or not. There were even some who were openly antagonistic to it. However, these have been showpi to their complete satisfaction that it is entirely essential to the future pros perity of Augusta for the bonds to pass. They have been brought to raVize that Augusta w ill take a decided step back ward if she fails to poll enough votes next Monday to carry the election. The financial statement of the River and Canal Commission, showing where every dollar of the money has been expended, won over many people to the bond issue. There were a few people who thought that the money bad not been expended as wisely n.B it should have been. The statement clarified the atmosphere completely and some of those who were louden! in denouncing the bonds are now the warmest advocates the movement has. HE’S GOING TO TELL ABOUT THAT RIVER TONIGHT EX-PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT A 8 HE APPEARED IN THE TROPICB One thing must be impressed upon the people and too much Hammeringg on the* subject cannot but help, and that is the importance of every man voting. No one can stay away from the polls with the idea that his vote Is not. needed. Indeed, every mans vote is needed as it will require two thirds of tile registered vote to favor the bonds in order for them to win. If the bond election was like* other elections then there* would be* no un easiness, for a majority is certain any way, but two-thirds is another mat ter entirely. At. least ten per cent of the vote in (jvery election is not east for one reason or another. It must be remembered that to stay away from the polls for any reason is equivalent to a vote against the bonds.
