Bond Mass Meeting At Alien Park Friday Night THE WEATHER Partly cloudy tonight and Thursday. VOLUME XIX, No. H 7. CARRANZA TO RE-OPEN OUSE REPRESENTATION AT MEDIATION MEET Jofin Lind and Legal Representative of the Constitutionalists Take Up Subject With Secretary Bryan—Developments Are Outcome of Negotiations That Have Been “Progressing Satisfactorily” Washington —Representatives of the constitutionalists here took steps to day to re-open the question of repre sentation at the Niagara mediation conference. John Lind and C. A. Douglass, legal representative of the constitutionaJ ists, after what was termed a neutral conference, went to the state depart ment to take up the subject with Sec retary Bryan. The secretary, however, had gone to the capitol to confer with senators of the foreign relations com mittee and his callers said they would return again later in the day. Won’t Talk. Neither Mr. Lind nor Mr. Douglas would disclose under what conditions the constitutionalists were willing to participate but the opinion was re vived that the powers of a Carranza representative would be very limited, perhaps without plenary authority and only for the purpose of furnishing in formation. What sudden turn in the negotiations had brought about the new attitude of the Carranza group was not disclosed. Long Wire Conference. Today's development, undoubtedly one direct outcome of long conferences General Carranza has been holding over a special telegraph, with Kinilio Zubaran, his minister of the interior, in charge of the constitution alist agency here, was pointed out as justifyins>»4he optimism of the last day or tw{> in official circles, where it repeatedly has been said the negotia tions were "progressing satisfactori ly.” From These Three, Jose Vasconcelos who has been mentioned as a probable choice to rep resent Caranza at Niagara still is in the city; Luis Cabrera, another Car ranza agent, came from Europe today on the steamer Olympic, and Fernando I. Calderon, a third constitptionalist representative is in El Paso. It has been said that if Gen. Carranza sent representatives to Niagara conference, those three men probably would be se lected. Whatever might be the first condi tions upon which Carranza would send representatives to the mediation con ference. the fact that he may be will ing to send them at all, is generally regarded here as a very favorable in dication. Best for Interests. Although the constitutionalists have reiterated that they were willing to participate in any mediation which dealt with the relations of Mexico with the United States but opposed to taking part in any mediation over the internal affairs of Mexico, it was pointed out that the recurring pro posal for the establishment of a pro visional vnvernment to be selected by the mediators, the Huerta delegates and the American delegates, and to be recognized by the United States may have advanced the situation to the point where the constitutionalists think It best for their interests to have representatives on the ground.

Epsom, Eng —The derby, best known of the English classic horse races, was won today by an American horse, Her man B. Duryea’s Durbar XI. The winner’s recent form in France had been considered so poor that he was regarded here as a rank outsider and odds of 25 to 1 were freely laid against him in the clubs last night. Today he had no trouble in disposing of a huge field of thirty horses, the largest that has turned out for the race sine** 1863. He won in a canter by three lengths from two other out siders, Hapsburg and Peter the Her mit. 20 to 1 Against, The betting just before the start of the race was 20 to 1 against Durbar 11. 33 to 1 against Hapsburg and 100 to 1 against Peter the Hermit. The public favorites never flattered their supporters at any stage of the race Kennvmnre, who led the betting, behaved so badly at ihe post that he delayed the start and when the field was finally sent away he was left in a had position. The time of the race was 2 minutes, 3k seconds, a fraction of a second quicker than the average. Many Americans. King George and Queen Mary were both present as well as most of the staff of the United States embassy, while distributed about the course were large numbers of Americans from (Continued on market page). form erected for the speakers. The Importance oT people going out to vote will be especially stressed by the speakers, for a stay at home Is equal to a vote against the bonds. The sentiment throughout the city Is In favor of bonds and no one needs to be convinced on that score, hut it will be the aim of I>r. Littleton and the other prominent speakers to get the voters to vote by all means, since two-thirds of the registered vote must be polled in favor of the bonds in order fur them to win.

HOME EDITION MEDIATORS TAKE DAY OFF; HIGH HOPE OF OUTCOME All Indications Point to Early Agreement on All Points of Difference and Selection of Huerta’s Successor Toronto. —The mediators and the United States and Mexican delegates arrived here shortly before noon and immediately proceeded to the King Edward Hotel. Late today the Duke of Connaught, Governor General of Canada, will give a fifteen-minute audience to the mediators. This is to be Billowed by a royal garden party. General Felix Diaz, who Is in Toronto, was not in vited to the function. There were 2,800 invitations Issued and there have been 2,300 acceptances. Suspend Work. Niagara Falls, Ont. —The mediation body, composed of the South Ameri can envoys and the American and Mexican delegates, suspended Its work here today to attend a garden party this afternoon In Toronto in honor of the governor general of Can ada, His Royal Highness, the Duke of Connaught, the Duchess ami the Princess Patricia, Sir John Gibson, Lieutenant Governor oT Ontario, is to lie the host. The mediation colony arranged to leave here early and will return tonight. Enroute they prob ably will have some informal discus sion about the mediation problem. No regular conferences are contemplated. Most Optimistic. As the party left for Toronto it was evident that all were 'highly op timistic of a successful outcome of the conferences. With the land ques tion satisfactorily adjusted the me diators and delegates were concen trating their attention on the exact manner In which a new provisional government might bo set up. That Huerta has formally Indicated his willingness to abide by the program thus far outlined here Is no longer doubted. In Dignified Way. The effort now is to arrange for a change of executives in a dignlTed manner. The mediation conference in all probability will not choose a provisional president. This will have to be done by the Mexico City government itself. But the process which is receiving consideration Is the drawing up of a list of represent ntlve Mexicans from which a certain number might be approved by the United States and all parties con cerned so that there would he no question about, recognition of the in dividual chosen therefrom. This se lect few, It is understood, will be sub mitted to the constitutionalists and on effort also will he made to obtain the viewpoint of the Zapatista ele ment Early Agreement. On these issues the mediation con ference is pre-occupled to present but Indications point to an early agree ment on all points of difference ss well as the selection of the Individual In whom will he placed the burden for carrying out of the plans for elec toral and educational reforms. No one of the official party was here to receive the announcement from Washington that representatives of the constitutions lists had taken steps to re-open the question of rep resentation In the mediation. Not Enthusiastic. When rumors to similar effect were circulated several days ago the me diators were not at all enthusiastic about It and It was evident that the constitutionalists could only be re ceived on terms originally laid down by the mediation hoard. Although there have been no decla rations on the subject it Is known that one of the primary objects of the conferences here Is to prevent, If pos sible, the despoiling oT the country by a victorious constltntlonalis force.
