OUTLOOK GOOD FOR MEDIATION Justice Lamar Issues Statement i Regarding Progress. CARRANZA SENDS OBJECTIONS Supreme Chief Insists Retirement of Huerta Must Carry With It Elimination of All His Adherents—Revolutionists Must Handle Agrarian Problem, He Declares. Niagara Falls, Ont., May 27—After the first day of actual discussion of the practical issues involved in the Mexican tangle, the outlook for a successful outcome of the mediation conferences now being held here is better than at any previous time since the meetings began. Tangible and carefully studied suggestions for the early pacification of Mexico and the installation of a permanent government able to bring about the great reforms needed for the southern republic were definitely agreed upon when they were'submitted to the American delegates—Justice Lamar and Frederick W. Lehmann —by Ambassador Da Gama of Brazil and Ministers Naon and Suarez Mujica, of Argentine and Chile. These suggestions had previously been sanctioned by the delegates of General Huerta —Senors Rabasa, Rodriguez and Elguero. Will Discuss Matters on Train. The most important session was held when the three South American envoys conferred for more than an hour with Justice Lamar and Mr. Lehmann. After the conference, Justice Lamar made the following statement to the newspaper men: “We have agreed upon a certain number of suggestions for the solution of the present difficulty, but several other important suggestions still lemain to be discussed. The outlook is extremely favorable and in order to lose no time, we have decided to continue our discussions on the train tomorrow during the trip to Toronto.’* It is known that Carranza has been In direct communication with Washington and the belief prevails here that the Constitutionalist leader has reconsidered his decision not to participate in the mediation proceedings. Well-informed persons here scout the idea that any protest from Carranza could interrupt the negotiations being conducted at this place. The mediators take the stand that the revolutionary leader, having rejected their Invitation to participate in the conference, no longer has a voice in the proceedings and the negotiations will go on regardless of any protest. Carranza Objects to Proposals. El Paso, Tex., May 27.—Decided objection by General Carranza to developments at the Niagara Falls conference sufficed to bring the proceedings to a temporary halt, threatening to disrupt the mediation plans, according to officials of the Constitutionalist organization. All day long General Carranza conversed on a leased wire with R. Zubaran Capmany, his representative at Washington, and with the Constitutionalist agents who are at Niagara Falls in the role of observers. The first chief of the Constitutionalists, it is understood, instructed his representatives to lay before the United States delegates a rigid insistence that the retirement of President must carry also the elimination of all his adherents in a political sense, allowing the present controlling party in Mexico City no voice in the selection of a provisional government pending the holding of elections. Carranza is said to make further objection that suggestions of names for a possible successor to Huerta are being made solely by Huerta delegates, the effect being that Huerta is being allowed to name his own successor, his conquerers having no voice in the selection. The third objection is said to be founded on the disposition of the Huerta representatives to take no definite action on the agrarian problem, contending that a solution properly lies with the Mexican congress. Carranza’s claim is that the revolution is primarily upon the agrarian problem, the spoliation of the many by the few, and the seizure of the Mexican government by Huerta. UTAH TOWNS ARE FLOODED Four-Foot Wall of Water Threatens Piute Reservoir. Salt Lake, Utah, May 27.—Two towns Panguitch and Circleville, are submerged and a wall of water four feet high and half a mile wide is rushing toward the Piute reservoir, fifty miles away, which may not be able to withstand the onrush, as a result of the bursting of the Hatchtown reservoir.
