,'VlO BE HELD ON BORDER

lonstitutioiialists Prefer Home Country and Nuevo Laredo May be Chosen as Meeting Place.

WASHING-TON. July 8. Mexican jterrltory probably will be cnosen fo£ the scene of the proposed conference between Huerta's envoys and constiutionalist delegates over plans for the establishment of a provisional government. Constitutionalist representatives in Washington today expressed preference for a neutral place in Mexico, probably along the border, for

ontest the peace parley. Two of the Niagara mediators—Ambassador Dagama and Minister Suarez—were to confer in

New York today over details of the mee/ting. WiUi dissension among the constitutionalist leaders apparently nearing adjustment, members of the revolutionary Junta here repeated expressions of confidence that the proposed Huerta Carranza conference would take place.

Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, has been considered as a most likely choice for the scene of the parley. It is opposite Iaredo, Tex., where quick communication by telegram and cable caq be arranged with Mexico City for the Huerta delegates. Communication southward with constitutionalist headquarters also would be easy.

All troops would be withdrawn from the scene of the peace conferences so that the delegates of both sides would be free from local Influence.

PYTHIAN CAMP SITE PUNS ARE DRAWN DP

Mayor, Traction People and Lodge Officials Confer and Many Details Are Considered.

Representatives of the traction company met with Mayor Roberts, chairman of the Pythian camp committee, at the city engineer's office Wednesday morning and went over the plans for Camp Arthur J. Stobbart, and decided on the lighting arrangements. W. G. Wallace and John W. Davis, of the traction company, and Capt. Gerhardt A. Monninger, of the city engineer's office, and Capt. J. E. Thomas, of the committee representing Gen. Stobbart, conferred as to the details of the laying out of the camp.

Capt. Monninger had prepared an outline of the camp, which was approved. It contemplates the erection of the general headquarters tent at Twenty-third street, facing the camp. South of this will be the row of tents representing the several brigade headquarters, and still further south, the tents for the members of the general staff and the colonels commanding regiments. Still further south, and separated by a fifty-foot street will be the general encampment. There will: be twelve north and south streets, and four east and west streets, all fifty feet in width. Electric lights will be located at intervals of about 100 feet throughout the camp, making the lighting arrangements better than those of any previous camp.

The National Drain Tile company, which has a plant on the west side of the river, has donated 1,200 feet of six-inch drain pipe and this will be hauled into the city at once so as to be on hand when it is needed.

The latrines will be located about seventy feet to the rear of the last I row of tentB, while the hospital tents

will be placed about 100 feet east of the east line of tents. The big tent for the Iola team work will be located on the knoll opposite the end of Ohio street, while the mess tent will be placed at Nineteenth street, with the I other concessions between that and the general headquarters. The press tents, telephone and telegraph tents, and the tents to be located for the grand lodge of Indiana and the insurance department of the K. of P. will be located between Nineteenth street and the camp proper.

Naming of 8tre«ts.

The naming of the streets In the camp will devolve on the executive committee, but already a sentiment has developed for naming the central avenue of the camp, running south from General Stobbart's headquarters to the south confines of the camp "Carnahan Avenue," in honor of Gen. James R. Carnahan, founder of the uniform rank. Although Mayor Roberts has personally objected to the use of his name, the same feeling has developed in favor of naming th(e principal east and west avenue, facing Gen. .Stobbart's headquarters "Roberts Avenue." In no previous encampment of the uniform rank, has any public official taken the personal Interest in making an encampment a success as here, and in view of this the members of the committee are in favor of making acknowledgement of his efforts by naming the street In his honor.

It was announced Wednesday morning by H. F. Schmidt, chairman of the committee In charge of the proposed production of "Old Mexico in 1847," that the plans have been abandoned, owing to the Inability to transfer the Central league ball games scheduled for here on July 19, 20 and 21. Instead of transferring these games to Ft. Wayne, as. had been contemplated, the games with Springfield, fixed for that city on July 22, 23 and 24, have been transferred to Terre Haute.

necessary for the conductors to cross the atreet and bring the passenger3 to the car. As a result, most of the cars were iate during the early morning rush between 6:30 and 8 o'clock.

One amusing incident occured at Tnirteenth street and Wabash avenue. An East Wabash avenue car, going east, stood on the west side of the street to wait for the passengers, who were on the east side to cross. The motorman made si'gnals with both his hands and voice, nothing could stir the crcwd, which thought the car had suffered some, mishap. Finally the conductor crossed the street, and after explaining the situation, the passengers crossed.

Even City Detective pVed Armstrong was among those who forgot. He was sitting on the curb stone on the south side of Eighth avenue, on Eighth street, waiting for a car.

The car arrived, but slowed down just before crossing the street, and at last stopped. Armstrong, thinking something was wrong with the mechan ism of the car, was looking intently at the car, waiting for something and it was some time before he could be made (to understand that the car was waiting for him.

Acting Judge Perry Douglas, of the City Court, arrived later than usual, as a result of too many people attempting to board the cars from the wrong side of the street.

Mayor Roberts seemed well satisfied with the r.ew ordinance and said during Tuesday, he never heard one objection to any one of the provisions. "It will not take the public long," ho said, "to accustom itself to the new measure."

The ordinance was read by P. B. May, assistant city attorney, and as each provision was read it was explained by Mayor Roberts.

Effects of the new traffic ordinance were apparent on Ohio street. From Eighth to Fourth the curb lines were crowded with autos and other vehicles, parked there In conformity with the ordinance which says -they shall be headed diagonally toward the sidewalk .. V'KrCa
