TWO [HERE’S YET SOME HOPE; MEDIATION PROCEEDINGS MAY LAST WEEK LONGER Conference in Washington Be tween Minister Naon. of Ar gentina, and President Wilson and Secretary Bryan Results in Causing Mediators Not to Adjourn Abruptly. As Expect ed. More Cons dent, Says Naon. of Ultimate Success of Mediation Dr. Naon Returned From the Capitol With New Ideas Which He Imparted to Other Mediators. President Wilson Says “Outlook is More Hope ful.” Say Mexican Delegation Will Not Take Initiative Should Mediation Break Up Niagara Falla, Ont.—lnntrad of n»1 JourtiinK abruptly, thr* mediation proceeding* will be pro longed for another week. The change waa brought about as a iomit of the visit of Minister Naon of Argentina to Washington, where he conferred with President Wilson Mud Secretary Hryan. l)r. Naon brought back ;i spirit of optimism and some new Ideas, which he imparled to Ainhassndor |)a ama of Itrnxtl and Minister Snares of Chile. It was an nounced after their talk that ther*‘ would he no conference until Monday. The Argentine envoy reiterated the toopafuJnchM he expressed earlier in ih day. For a Provisional President. The determination reached is to keep the mediation hoard from formal adjournment though there may be a recess In another week or so, while the search Is continued for persons eligible, according to the ideas set forth In the conference, for provisional president of Mexico. Although no definite plan has been framed, all parties expressed a wish to mah' renewed effort to effect a com promise. There s every reason to believe that the friction bet ween General Garranza and General Villa and the report that General Huerta intended to retire in favor of Pedro affected the tnediutors in their decision. The pos nihility of developments in Mexico in tile immediate future which might change the entire aspect of the prob lem here also has been taken into con skis ration Suggestion in Fsvor. The suggestion that the mediators waive for the lime being the question of personnel and try to agree on all the other parts of the pence program is much in favor. After it is complete the discussion would revert to Dimes for the provisional presidency. If n<> agreement were reached all members of the mediation colony would delight In a recess while I lie aeurch for name.*; was continued. Dr. Naon's ideas, it Is believed, have not crystallised into a definite proposal. The impression here is that his chief object in profeaaiug opti mism is to prevent the deadlock be tween the Americans and Mexicans from precipitately ending th© negoti ations. “Outlook Mor« Hopeful." Til*- American view In best reflected by the et»truu>nt of President Wilson that “the outlook la more hopeful.” The view of the llucrta government, aa expressed by Mr. Hillman, la thnt the Mexican delegation will not take the Initiative ts the conference la to break up. l'r. Niton annulled up the situation from the mediators' point of view, when he predicted that the ne gotiations would bo continued unotlier two weeks. All parties to mediation have refer red to the determination not to yield on any point which was proclaimed In public statements by both the Am erican and Mexican delegates, but It was pointed out yesterday that the latter left a loop hole In thetr recent statement crltntxjnK the American plan. In this statement Mr. Rabnsa said the American demand that a con stitutionalist he selected for provis ional president had been rejected by the Mexican delegation “of Its own accord and without even consulting Its governments" As General Huerta admittedly w-ne not consulted on this point it was said the Mexicuns might recede from their position ts the gov ernment wished that this supplied an additional wa.v, If needed, by which the conferences might be prolonged. Upon Naon'a Arrival. Buffalo, N. V. —•"! was never more confident than I am today of th,. ul timate success of mediation," sHld Dr ltomulo 8. Kaon, minister from Ar gentina, when he arrived hero Satur day after conferences In Washington wnh President Wilson and Secretary Bryan. Minister Vson predicted that nego tiations w/ultf he continued at least another two weeks. Always Difficulties. "I am confident.” Minister Naon added, "and optimistic, which I have always been While I regard the difficult lea which have been eneouu tered as serious, there are alwnvs dlftlcultles In mgtiatton and It is the duty of mediators always to find a way to overcome them so peace may be accomplished " Aa the minister took ah automobile to « hotel for luncheon prior to re turning to Niagara Kalis, he said he would consult with his colleagues to night before making .my announce ment and that there probably would be no full session oT delegates and mediators until Monday. Dsclinsd to Say. Dr Naon declined to say what pro posals he had In mind which wotnu break the deadlock In the mediation, but It was apparent that be had found President Wilson and Secretary Bryan anxious for one thing—the par- Illinium of Mexico —and ready to Is ten to further compromises or *ug- ( I gehtions out of which a solution I might lie found. Publication of the statements set ting forth tne respective positions of the American and Huerta delegates admittedly has cast .1 shadow of doubt over the negotiations in that each side finds it difficult ot recede from a publicly announced attitude. Strong Probability. But there is a strong probability in the opinion of Mr. Naon, that by abandoning the discussion of types and Individuals and going ahead on the other important points In the peace plan, a man may be found In the interim who would satisfy, if not the letter, at least the principles ot both ttie American memorandum and tliai issued by the Huerta delegates. In any event Minister Naon was sure the mediation at least would resolve the difficulties between the United States and Mexico and spoke with confidence of the ultimate solution of the internal problem. Goes Into Confernce. Minister Naon arrived by automo bile from Buffalo shortly before 3 o’clock and went into conference im mediately with Minister Da Gama and Minister Suarez. It was said there would he no formal conference will) tlie delegates until Monday. Denied by Rebels. El Paso, Texas. —Arturo Klias, the Huerta consul here, said today that two days ago he talked with several persons who said they had seen in Torreon several days previously a manifesto issued by Villa proclaiming linn, Angeles provisional president of Mexico. Ulius declined to give the names of his Informants, saying they had left El Paso, He said thut they hud no copy of the manifesto. That Villa had proclaimed anybody for provisional president was denied by all constitutionalist agents here, (ion. Angeles was reported as lead ing the advance of Villa's army gainst Zacatecas, INDICTMENT 111 LQRIMER BANK At Least One Official Guilty of Receiving a Deposit After Knowledge of Insolvency. Chicago.

ORDER SECY 0E WAR AEEECTS 5. C.-ONLY South Carolina Troops Have Not Come Up to the Require ments of the Dick Bill. Other States to Participate GEORGIA TROOPS TO BE FIRST AT ENCAMPMENT Then North Carolina and Florida'. Orders Received By Local Officers of Militia From Adjutant General Nash Con cerning Encampment. Washington.—The invitation ex tended by the war department to Governor Please of South Carolina to have organized militia of that state participate in the maneuver camp to be held In Augusta, Ua., next month, lias been withdrawn be cause of the failure of the South Car olina militia to meet the require ments of the Dick militia law as com strued by the law offices of the de partment. The attention of Govornod Blease some months ago was called by the war department to the shortcomings of the South Carolina militia in the matter of missing equipment and shortage of men in ttie various grades The result was some spirit ed correspondence between the gov ernor and the secretary of war. Fi nally Governor Hluase undertook tn meet the requirements of the depart ment. t Trouble later arose between the governor and the secretary of war OTOT tlie location of the proposed joint encampment oil the isle of Faints, S. C. Secretary Garrison fi nally temporarily transferred this camp to Augusta, Ga. Since then reports from the offices of tiie war dcl»artuient have disclosed the fact that the South Carolina militia still is deficient in the various matters complained of originally and Secre tary Garrison therefore has felt obliged to withdraw the department’s invitation to participate In the man euver camp to be held in Augusta. So Tar South Carolina, is the only Southern state which will be exclud ed from Ihe maneuver* on this ac count The story in The Herald yesterday front Charleston to the effect that the invitation of the war department to have the organised militia of that state participate in the Augusta man euver camp had been withdrawn was the topic of a great deal of interest The question which arose In every one's mind was whether or not the war department had w ithdraw n invi tation to the other states. The above Associated Press dispatch from W ashington, received lasi night, ex plains that Stmth Carolina is the only Southern state affected. The Georgia troops, therefore, will he the first to begin the maneuvers on the 22d of July. South Catolitta was to have come on July 12th.

During the past few weeks I have received many requests that I permit the use of my name for political office. If I had made earlier reply to these re quests I would have undoubtedly de clined after due consideration. The number and nature of these requests have been such as to demand earnest consideration on my part. "I have thought of the matter from every viewpoint and am finally unable to find any compelling reason why I should alter my original inclination. I am grateful for the compliment con veyed by these suggestions and am gratified that they have been based largely upon expressed approval of the discharge of my present duties. I feel that I am not entitled to any special recognition for the performance of of fice duties which, however have been performed with equal fidel ity by similar officials of this and the other officials in Georgia.

OPPOSITION TO WILSOIES MEN Senate Banking and Currency Committee Searching Records of Reserve Board Nominees. Washington.—Reports of opposition among members of the senate banking and currency committee, to some of President Wilson's nominations for the federal reserve board today, resulted in members of that committee receiv ing copies of a letter from the Presi dent to Chairman Owens, particularly commending Thomas D. Jones, of Chi cago. one of the nominees. In this let ter the President declares he has been associated with Mr. Jones for fifteen years, and says Mr. Jones has won a place of esteem that is "enviable, in deed.” One of the criticisms leveled at the Chicagoan, is the fact that he is a director of the “harvester trust” now being sued under the Sherman anti trut law by the department of justice. The President explains that Mr. Jones owns but one share of Harvester stock and that he becomes a director to thwart the acts which led w> that suit. In conclusion the President said: “He is the one man of the whole number who was, in a peculiar sense, my personal choice.” Mr. Jones was the only one of the five menmentioned to receive the writ ten commendation of the President. In formation concerning the other nomi nees, in the possession of the Secre tary of the Treasurer McAdoo, reached the committee today. The President’s letter and the data furnished by the treasury, will be used in reaching con clusions, but it is possible that other information will he secured by mem bers who are giving particular atten tion to these nominations.
