More Complex Phase of Situation is Injected Into the Pro
ceedings By Carranza’s Decision to Send Constitutionalist
Representatives to Niagara Falls. Their Coming, However,
Bound to Assist Negotiations Whether They Are Admitted
or Not.
Niagara Falls, Ont.—The mediators will not officially
admit to the conference here the representatives Gen.
Carranza has announced he will send to Niagara Falls.
The South American diplomats said they could not recede
from their original condition demanding an armistice.
Washington.—General Carran
za’s reply to the Mexican media
tors, announcing his intention of
sending three delegates to the
Niagara conference, was received
here early today and forwarded
to Niagara Falls.
No Change of Attitude.
Niagara Falls— -The dispatch from
Saltillo yesterday stating that the
Carranza note made no mention of the
coMitions under which he was send-
was shown to the media
tors. They declined to make formal
comment but let it be known that their
iW i tude had undergone no change.

armistice. -*■
No Objection.
The mediators would have no objec
tion if a conference could be held be
tween the Huerta delegates, the Car
ranza delegates and the Americans.
In fact such a suggestion has been un
rder consideration and if an agreement
fcould be reached between these three
parties the mediators finally would
admit all to the the signing of a pro

Informally Received.
f It is considered possible that the
delegates might be infor

THE AUGUSTA HERALD
AIGER AT THE
VANDALISM IN
WESTMINSTER
British Public Aroused to State
of Intense Excitement By Use
of Dynamite By Militants.
Demands For Drastic Pun
ishment Heard on Every Side
Lor >d° n . —Expressions of anger at
the vandalism of the suffragettes
were more vehement than ever today
among the j genial public, which was
roused to a state of intense excite
ment by yesterday’s attempt to blow
up the historic coronation stone and
chair in Westminster Abbey and still
further angered today by a determin
ed effort to burn the ancient church
of §t. Margaret’s.
Demands for the drastic punish
ment of the women engaged in this
campaign of destruction are heard
on every side. The leniency of the
government in releasing the women
''rminals after a few days detention
in jail is generally condemned.
Quick Work.
Only quick work by the rector, the
Rev. Wm, H. Stone, and villagers
saved the historic structure at St.
Margaret’s this morning.
Threet distinct fires, fed by fire
lighters, composed of squares of felt
saturated with oil, were set by the
“arson squad.”
The hope was widely expressed to
day that Reginald McKenna's sugges
tion of the prosecution of subscribers
to the funds of the militant suffra
gette organization would stop to a
large extent the flow of income to
the coffers of the women engaged
in the widespread activities under
taken by that society.
“Education” Fund.
Tt is known that much of the
money handed over by the largest
subscribers is sent with the earmark
“education,” Mrs. Emmeline Pank
hurst, the militant leader, being left
to decide what that means. It is be
lieved, however, that this provision
to the gifts will not prevent the law
reaching the persons who provide the
funds used for crime.
Closer examination today of the
coronation chair in Edward, the Con
fessors Chapel, showed that the dam
age was slight and easily repaired.
The coronation stone was not injur
ed at all. In fact most of the dam
age done affected the wall of the
chapel behind the chair.
Extensive Precutlone.
The abbey was open as usual today
except for the chapel where the bomb
was placed and In which an Im
mense amount of soot, dust ami dirt
fell as the result of the explosion
A large congregation composed most
ly of women attended morning ser
vice. Extensive precautions were
taken and every visitor was closely
scrutinized. The police have the de
scription of a number of women who
were seen in the vicinity before yes
terday’s explosion, but no arrest ha*
yet been made.
