PRESIDENT GIVES
MEXICO 60 DAYS
TO END STRIFE
Wilson Sets Time Limit
for Restoration of
Peace in War-Torn
Republic.
Failure of Factions to Accom
modate Differences Will
- Bring Joint Action of United
States and Latin American
Countries.
By JOHN EDWIN NEVIN
WASHINGTON. Aug. 3. Restoration of
a constitutional government In Mexico
within 60 days has been determined on by
President Wilson. That Is tho real rea
son for the conference arranged for
Thursday afternoon between the diplo
mats representatives of the Latin-American
Powers and Secretary of State
Lansing.
Soon after announcement of the forego
ing It becamo known here, through a dis
patch received from Vera Cruz via Galves
ton, that Villa's "(lying column," under
General Fierros, which was defeated at
Pachuca, was destroyed yesterday be
tween Irapuato and Queretoro when .It
was caught between a detachment sent,
sputh by General Obrepon and the pursu
ing army of General DIeguez.
General Obregon also reported that ho
had captured 3,000,000 rounds, of -ammunition
and an immense quantity ot other
supplies In a battle south of Torreon.
It was learned this afternoon that the
United States has arranged a tentative
plan which will be discussed at this con
ference nnd which It accepted may end
the troubles of Mexico.
According to tho best advices obtain
able, tho Chief proposition will be the Im
mediate) recognition of a temporary pro
visional president who will not be Car
ranza, Villa or Zapata. He Is .to be a
former member of Madero's Cabinet In
order that legitimate succession can bo
provided for, inasmuch da it is recognized
that Huerta's assumption of power never
was legal.
FIGUREHEAD WANTED.
As It is conceded that no man who
served under Madero could obtain tha
support pf the elements necessary to
mako his administration a success, it is
expected that the A. B. C. representatives
In the conference will suggest that the
candidate first selected be a figurehead
pure and simple. He -will simply be pro
claimed President, if tho program can be
arranged, and will then name the man
agreed on for the indorsement of the
United States and the South American
Powers as Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Under the Mexican Constitution, as thero
will be no Vice President, the Minister
of Torelgn Affairs succeeds to the Presi
dency when it is vacant. And It will be
come vacant almost Immediately, If the
plans tnat it is noped to perfect are
carried out.
U. S. CALLS CONFERENCE.
Secretary Lansing said today that the
conference was called on the Invitation
of the United States. President Wilson

plan suggested by Duval West, who

Philadelphia's Convention Hall, the
dream for years of city-planning commit

be constructed In time to house the Re

meeting can be attracted to Philadelphia
next year.
That assurance has been given by State
Senators Edwin H. Vare and James P.
McNichol, the leaders of the two factions
of the Republican Organization, whose
orders to Councils are absolutely obeyed.
United States Senator Boles Penrose

convention hall project to learn what
action Councils may take at their first

In an explosion of a box of shrapnel
fuses in the Frankfort Arsenal today.
Two of the injured are soldiers, James F.
Harking, 23 years old. of 2313 North 2d

at tho munitions plant, were seriously In

of EOOS Beechuood street, a workman at
the Arsenal, was slightly Injured.
Tho accident occurred at the "artillery

nnd fuses. The men were engaged In
testing a box of fuses. They had re
moved ono"of the fuses, and, while at
taching It to the shell, It exploded, set

men in a heap and brought scores of
workmen to their assistance. Harkins,
the most seriously Injured, died in the
ambulance of the Frankford Hospital.
Brown wa3 Injured about the body and
head. Lumblett lost one eye and was
burned and bruised by the explosion,
while Fresco suffered serious contusions
of the body nnd head.
Harkins is married and is survived
by a wife and two children. His wife is
111, nnd news of the tragedy has not been
told her.
The place where tho explosion occurred
has been the scene of slight explosions
soveral times In the past. Ammunition Is
tested there and fuses are fired to de
termines whether they meet the specIAoJ
requirements. Tho test which was to bs
made today was to determine tho relatlvo
proportion of slow-burning powder neces
sary for the designated fuses. Owing to
the fact that black powder Is used in
the fuses the damage done waa slight and
the loss of life waa less than It probably
would havo been had tho experiments
been conducted with higher-powder com
pounds. The cause of the explosion has not been
determined. An investigation was im
mediately begun by Colonel Montgomery,
chief of the arsenal, in order to learn
whether negligence could be found. All
fuses are fitted with safety spaces, and
It is Impossible to Are them while this
spaco la placed over the Indication mark
on the body of tho fuse. It Is under
stood that the fuse which exploded was
being fitted to a Bhell preparatory to fir
ing. Whether the top of the fuse turned
from "safety" during tho operation has
not been determined.
