Great Surprise
The defeat came as a great surprise
to moat of the fra*ly thousand spectators
who had made the defenders 10 to 7 fav
orites In the wagering They were quick
to appreciate the urilUimt play of the
invaders, however, and the stands rang
with applause at the work of the Eng

The challengers gave the finest exhi

revelation.
Far Weaksr.
The American four was far weaker
than last year.
The absence of former Captuln Har
ry Payne Whitney appeared to break up
the perfect combination play f<* which
the "big four" has been noted. The
Americans overrode the halt, missed easy
strokes and were easl'y ridden off by
their opponents. The English ponies
were faster on their feet and better
handled.

REFERENCE
NOT MADE
TO TRUCE
Mediators Advised That Con
stitutionalist Delegates to the
Peace Conference Are on the
Way—lnstructions Contain
No Reference to Armistice
Niagara Falls, Ont.—The crux of the
Mexican problem—the selection of a
man for provisional president accept
able to all factions in Mexico and
foreign governments generally—was
reached Saturday in a conference be
tween the mediators and the Amer
ican and "Mexican delegates. Various
names were discussed but there was
no agreement. Details of the peace
plan are virtually set aside now for
the greater task of finding a man
who can maintain peace in Mexico
while a constitutidlal election is held
and normal order is resumed.
General Carranza's note advising the
mediators t(at constitutionalist dele
gates were on their way to the medi
ation conferences with full instructions
arrived Saturday.
• No Reference.
It contains no reference to an armis
tice and there was nothing to show
that the mediators had altered their
determination not to admit officially
Carranza's representatives, unless an
armistice was declared. Some other
way of dealing with them, perhaps
through the American delegates, may
be found. The composition of the
new provisional government, its form
and personnel, w-as discussed by Am
erican nnd Mexican delegates, in an
informal talk with the mediators. No
agreement was reached but it is be
lieved this plank in the peace plan
will set forth that the new govern
ment shall consist of a provisional
president and four cabinet ministers,
comprising the portfolios of foreign
affairs, finance, war and Interior ad
ministration.
From Husrtistas.
Today's discussion showed the Am
ericans that Mexicans of prominence
who have been active in the constitu
tionalist party will meet with serious
opposition from the Huerta delegates
as presidential possibilities.
Various plans for the form of the
new government are before the medi
ators. A committee of five with one
executive, a Junta d« goblerno, or
council of three, and a provisional
president are being considered. The
.last witl be Insisted on by the Mexi
cans. The American delegates prob
ably will offer no objection to that
kind of an administration.

revolt of 2,000 union miners against
the orders of their organization con
tinued tonight despite the armed rule
set over the city after a series of
riots during the celebratiop of the
Miners’ Union Day. All saloons wers
closed and hardware stores were
cleared of arms and ammunition by
the police. Extra guards were scat
tered throughout the city.
When orders seemed to be restor
ed shortly after dark, a crowd of
minrs surrounded by the police start
ed to ipull th safe of the Western
Federation of Miners down Main
Street to keep it out of the hands of
rioters tonight, four hundred men
took the safe from the federation
members and the police guard, put it
on a wagon and carted it away and
announced they were going to dyna
mite it.
Trouble began when a parade in
celebration of the establishment oi
the union. More than 2,000 men dis
gruntled by heavy assessments, re
fused to recognize the Western Fed
eration of Miners any longer. Under
the leadership of organizers of the
Industrial Workers of the World, the
seceders attacked the parade, com
pised of more than half the labor
bodies of Butte.
The parade wah broken up and
speaking exercises in a theater were
abandoned because of street scenes.
Then the rioters attacked Union Hall

ture in the building.
Ten thousand persons watched the
demonstration. Policemen and
sheriff’s deputies were powerless

management, attacked Mayor Frank

prevent the wrecking of the miners un
ion hall. The mayor waß hurried to a
hospital in an unconscious condition.
While the riot was at its height; Al
derman Charles Bane made a demand

missioners hastily assembled and au
thorized Sherif Driscoll to swear in as
many deputies as were needed to con
trol the situation.
Several hundred miners revised to
march today In a parade in celebration
of miners’ union day. Their refusal was
a protest against heavy assessments
levied for support of the stfike in Mich
igan by the Western Federation of
Miners.
They attacked the marchers and hurl
ed rocks at President Bert Riley of the
Butte Union and his subordinate offi
cials. The latter-were rescued by the

Further Definite Results, How
ever, Are Looked For By
Washington From Niagara
Falls Early Next Week—Both
Pres’t and Sec’y Bryan Re
iterate Declaration: “Prog
ressing Satisfactorily”
Washington.—Further definite re
sults in the Mexican mediation confer
ence at Niagara Falls are looked for
by officials of the Washington govern
ment early next week, their conclus
ions being based on communications
received from the American represen
tatives who were in touch with Secre
tary T3ryan late today.
No word of any actual progress at
the joint conference today was receiv
ed by officials here, but it was stated
the mediators and the American and
Mexican delegates had talked over
the chacter of the proposed provisional
government to be instituted In accord
ance with the protocol signed yester
day.
From Several Sources.
From several sources the attitude of
the constitutionalists toward media
tion was declared to be dilatory in
view of the announcement from Gen
eral Carranza’s headquarters at Saltil
lo that a reply to his latest note to the
mediators would be awaited before the
representatives of the constitutional
ist chief would proceed to Niagara
Falls to confer informally with the
American representatives and the
Huerta commissioners. That an ans
wer was expected from the mediators
also was the declaration of Carranza's
agents in Washington. No reply from
the mediators had been received to
night.
Again Reiterated,
President Wilson just before leaving
early in the day for Princeton was no
tified of the signing of the first pro
tocol. The president expressed satis-j
faction over this actual achievement ir*
the negotiations. Secretary Bryan
again reiterated in his insistent dec
laration late in the day tharthe peace
negotiations were progressing satifac
torlly.
The fact that the Huerta government
has an active representative in Wash
ington working for the best interests
of the dictator in the progress of me
diation became known today w'hen it
developed that Charles A. Towne, a
New York attorney, and former Unit
ed States senator from Minnesota, had
been retained by the Mexico City re
gime.
Two Conferences.
Mr. Towne has been in Washington
several days, has had two conferences
with President Wilson and today was
in communication with Secretary Bry
an. He plans to see President Wil
son again tomorrow. The attorney al
so was in touch during the day with
the Mexican delegates at Niagara
Falls.
Mr. Towne late today issued a state
ment expressing approval of the sign
ing of the first protocol but declaring
that the matter of choosing the per
