COURTEOUS
ATTENTION FROM
SALES PEOPLE
This conversation was overheard
in a department store the other
day:
Customer, pointing to some rolls
of cretonne —"I want to cover a
window seat. Is that what I ought
to have?”
Salesman —"Yes, Madam, cre
tonne is used a great deal for win
dow seats.”
Customer —"My room is blue.
Which pattern do you think would
be best?"
Salesman—“ Any one of these
three would be all right.”
Customer —"How much ought 1
to buy?”
Salesman—"l would have to
know how long the window seat is
•to tell you that.”
Customer—" Well, three peo|Ge
can Just squeeze into it.”

point with a feeling of disgust for
the stupidity of the customer and
admiration for the courtesy and pa

Temporary Suspension of Con
ferences at Niaqara Falls.
Carranza Tells Mediators
That He Has “Duly Consid
ered” Proposal and Won’t
Agree
Washing tan.—Temporary suspension
of formal conferences at Niagara Falls
among the mediators and the Amer
ican and Huerta delegates during the
absence of the Argentine minister,
gave President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan today additional time for con
sideration of men to be suggested for
the provisional presidency of Mexico.
Government officials were said to have
experienced some difficulty in getting
names of eligibles through constitu
tionalist agents in Washington. Dur
ing the three days' absence of, Ml°-
ister Naon the president and his ad
visers hoped to make headway over
the problem of personnel of the new
government that would materially re
lieve immediate tension in the negoti
ations.
Chances Dissipated.
Chances that Carranza might l»e
--come a party to the present proceed
ings apparently were dissipated by the
dispatch of the envoys’ latest tele
gram to the constitutionalist chief.
They told Carranza they feared he
"had not duly considered” their com
munication containing a request for
an armistice with Huerta. Men in tile
confidence of Carranza declared he
had “duly considered” the proposal,
that he would not agree to a truce and
that apparently the door for any fur
ther correspondence between the medi
ators and the revolutionist leader was
closed.
* Little Change,
That development, not entirely un
expected, caused little change In the
diplomatic situation so far as the
United States was concerned. How
ever, in some quarters it was sug
gested that it might hinder the Wash
ington government’s chances of ob
taining Carranza's consent to the
drafting of a peace plan in which he
would have had no part. On the other
hand insistence of American delegates
that a man with constitutionalist
sympathies be named for provisional
president was pointed to as showing
that the Interests of the northern fac
tion were receiving full consideration.
With Keen Intereet.
Press dispatches from Mexico City
stating an extraordinary session of
the house probably would be called
by Huerta were received here with
keen interest. The speaker of the
house was said to have announced that
a "matter of great Interest for the
Mexican republic,” which would re
quire the highest patriotism of the
deputies would be discusaed. It gene
rally was supposed the subject of the
extra session would relate to Huerta's
attitude as recently outlined by the
delegates at Niagara Falls.

SENATORS TOLD
TO STO IT IT
President Calls the Democratic
Leaders in Conference on
Anti-Trust Legislation,
Washington —President Wilson was
hopeful today that, the administra
tion trust legislation program would
he passed so congress could adjourn
by tlie end of July. He was optimi
stic as a result of a talk today with
Senator James of Kentucky and the
conference last night with other -sen
ate leaders.
According to officials ciose to the
president he believes there is no pros
pect of organized opposition to the
trust legislation by republicans In the
senate.
The president expects the railroad
securities and the omnibus anti trust
bill to he reported out of committee
within the next two weeks.
It was made plain today, however,
that he had not finally committed
himself to the details of the hills as
they passed the house.

Washington, ,D C. With virtually all
hup* for an early adjournment of con

the senate prepared today to push to
completion the administration s program
of anti-trust legislation. This course
was planned ns the result of a confer
ence between President Wilson and
leaders among the senate Democrats at
the White House last night.- The only
measures on the program, the enactment
of which will he insltaed upon, are the
anil-trust hills already passed by the
house or similar measures. The Presi
dent told the senators that he was anx
ious as they for an early adjournment,
yet he strongly felt that the anti-trust
program should he enacted during the
present session. That rapid progress
was being made on the anti-trust hills
now under consideration by senate com

dent by the Democratic leaders and It
gnerally was conceded by the confrees
that there shoo'd he little difficulty In
getting these measures repotted to the
