PEACE ENVOYS
Decide to Cease Conferences Pending Carranza Decision As to Meeting Huerta Agents.
GENERAL SITUATION STILL IN UNSETTLED CONDITION
Officials, However, Refuse to Give Up Hope That Solution of Problem Will Ultimately be
Found.
BULLETIN.
NIAGARA FALLS, Ont., June 30 After a conference today between Ambassador Dagan, of Brazil, and Ministers Naon and Suarez, it was announced that mediation would formally recess tomorrow until such time as the constitutionalist delegates and Huerta representatives could confer informally on Mexico's internal problems.
WASHINGTON, June 30.—New elements in the Mexican situation caused by internal dissensions in the revolutionary ranks and Carranza's continued delay in outlining his attitude toward the proposed conference between his representatives and Huerta's delegates kept mediation in an unsettled state today. Administration leaders declined to discuss these developments but hope still was expressed that a way might be found for the establishment of a provisional government in Mexico that would inspire ready recognition.
Some of the constitutionalist representatives in Washington reitetate the belief that Carranza wouia ueciae to send delegates to meet the Huerta mission. Louis Carberra, one of the constitutiortalist chief's trusted lieutenants, said Carranza soon would complete consultations with the revolutionary generals over proposals for the Niagara conference and that a definite answer would be sent to the medlftors within a few days. Whether they would await that answer or take a recess has not yet been decided. Secretary Bryan would not discuss the probable length of time the mediators would await a definition of Carranza's stand. It appeared, however, that they would take no summary action as long as there remained hope that the constitutionalists might send delegates to discuss plans for a provisional government.
Reports at Variance.
Satisfaction was expressed in administration circles today over the report that representatives .of Carranza were

WORTHINGTON, Ind., June 30.—Two events that are now taking'up much of the time of many of Worthington's wide awake citizens are the big race meeting scheduled for the Fourth of July and the Chautauqua, which has been postponed until September so as not to interfere with the program arranged for Bloomfield.
A, F. Wilson, secretary of the Worthington Racing association, has ar ranged an attractive program for his track, which will include an automobile race, open to the world, any maKe any style, for a purse of $500. There will be a trotting race of the value of $300 and a pacing race of the same value, also a ten mile dash for Model T. Ford cars, for a purse of $100. Mr. Wilson has since last year rebuilt the old Worthington track and made it wider. As an inducement to sport lovers to attend the races here he will give a new five-passenger Ford car to some purchaser of an admission ticket. Every one present on a paid admission ticket will have a crack at it.
Hon. J. D. Myers, president and, Joe Housum, secretary of the committee of arrangements for the coming Chautauqua, are already acting in preparation for the event, which is scheduled to begin Sept. 6th and last for a week. An effort was made by outside interests to induce Worthington business

When News is News
The development of the evening newspaper has been one of the triumphs of the modern age. .Every facility of the great news gathering organizations is bent toward making the evening paper a complete record of the events of the day. The outcome has been that the supremacy of the evening paper in every department of newspaper enterprise is now generally recognized. Some of the news ot real interest of the world at large and of Terre Haute in particular appearing in The Tribune Monday and of which nothing was reported in either of the Terre Haute papers on that day was the following:
Rescue of 1,600 passengers from the Anchor liner California ashore off the English coast.
Bomb thrown during anti-Servian outbreak in Sarayevo. Meeting of the committee of Claflin creditors for reorganization of the great mercantile concern.
Government's notice to public concerning last day payments of income tax.

RATE DECISION
Commission Believed to be Far From Unanimous in Eastern Railroad Freight Case.
HITCH DEVELOPS OVER HOW REVENUE MAY BE INCREASED
Observers of Commission's Procedure Now Predicting That No An-, nouncement Will be Ready Until Middle of July.
WASHINGTON, June 80.—Prospects of a delay of a week or more in announcing the interstate commerce commission's decision in the application of the eastern railroads for a five per cent increase in freight rates have revived speculation about the commission's conclusion in the hard fought case.
A sudden hitch in the decision—coming just at a time when it was generally supposed to be on the eve of announcement, was taken to indicate that the commission is far from unanimous over what it shall decide. So mans elements enter into the decision that the closest observers of the commission's procedure are now predicting that the announcement may be delayed until the middle of July.
The first question at issue is whether the railroads need more revenue and the second is how it shall be obtained. The hitch seems to be over the latter proposition. It is being pointed out that more revenue may be obtained by the elmination of free services now performed by railroads for larga industrial concerns and by making reasonable charges for them.
The commission already has taken steps to bring that about. But the question of increases in rates with the accompanying complications of classification, Is raising questions which as yet the commission has not been able to agree upon and they are causing the delay.

The total of the raises on personal assessments made by the county board of review which will adjourn at the close of business Tuesday night will be in the neighborhood of $325,000, the exact figures not being available until the close of business The rairec were chiefly on the stocks of mercantile establishments, although several corporations were raised sub stantially, the chief among these being the Citizens Gas and Fue^ Co., which was raised $144,626, the water works company, the Terre Haute Brewing Co and the Peoples Brewing Co. coming in for the next highest corporation raises. When the board met it fa-ed the problem of either raising the per sonal assessment to meet the approval of the state board of tax commission ers or having the assessment of the ntire county, city and townships, raised by the board. In a letter to County Assessor Martin K. Paddock, president of the board, the state boan advised him that the assessment of personal property in the city was out of proportion to other counties among the mercantile and business establish ments, and unless the board remedied this it would be necessary to raise the assessment of the entire county, which is within the power of the state board. With this end In view the board equalllzed the mercantile assess ments in a manner that It is hoped will meet the approval of the state board. addition t# the raises heretofor published the board has made the fol lowing additional assessments:
