Pacification Plans
All Depend Upon
Carranza's Attitude
By Associated Press
Washington, D. C., May 29. —Plans
for Mexico's pacification practically
agreed upon at the Niagara conference
were up for discussion to-day in the
Cabinet. With assurances that the
International phase of the equation
promised a. satisfactory solution, in
terest grew to-day in the attitude that
t'crranza might take. It was reported
that he had sent his representatives
here an announcement of his position
toward the work of the Niagara con
ference. Tho Constitutionalist agents,
however, declined to discuss it.
Further information on the reported
landing of war cargoes at Puerto Mex
ico by the Hamburg-American steam-
Bavaria and Ypiranga was being
from Rear Admiral Badger.
TDoubt over whether the steamers
actually had delivered ammunition for
Huerta was cast by a statement from
the Navy Department that reports ot
the landings had not been verified.
The affair appeared to cause little un
easiness and in some quarters it was
Jndicated that the incident more or
.less was to be regarded as closed,
ilespite orders to Admiral Badger to
Continue his investigation.
Events at Niagara Falls were ex
pected to move swiftly in the next few
days. If Huerta and President Wil-
Fon approve of the cardinal issues,
then the mediators and the two mis
sions will take up secondary problems
for determination. Once that is
reached, a protocol will be signed ana
the mediators will finish the details of
their task, working with the admin
istration officials of the two govern
ments. Probably responsibility for
dealing with tho Constitutionalists will
devolve upon the United States. The
outcome of that could not be foreseen.
Carranza's Delegate
Is at Niagara Falls
By Associated Press
Niagara Falls, Ont., May 29.—Juan
F. Uruidi, private secretary to Rafael
Kubaran, the Constitutionalist agent at
Washington, arrived here to-day bear
ing a communication from Carranza
to the mediators saying he is willing
to send a representative to the media
tion conference to discuss international
differences between the United States
and Mexico.
Mr. Urquidi said he came merely
lis a messenger to deliver a communi
cation and not to discuss issues. He
expects to return to-morrow to Wash
ington.
When he arrived at the Hotel Clif
ton he sent his card to Ambassador
Da Gama who sent down word that
lie was "busy" but did not say whether
or not he would receive him later in
the day.
Although Mr. Urquidi declined to
make public (he contents of the com
munication, it is understood that Gen
eral Carranza reiterates his original
declaration that ho accented mediation
in principle on the condition that in
ternational questions alone should be
discussed.
General Carranza is unwilling that
the question of a new provisional
president should be discussed at any
international conference. He holds
that the occupation of Vera Cruz
which directly gave riso lo the me
diation proceedings concerns all Mex
ican factions as well as the Huerta
government and that the constitution-
Rllst chief should have a voice in ad-
Justing differences which caused the
American troops to enter Mexico.
In his latest communication he re
states his position and places before
the mediators the question of whether
or not they will consider him in ad

Carranza Protests
That Mediators Have
Not His Sanction
By Associated Press
Durango, Mexico. May 29.—General
Carranza yesterday sent a message to
his representative at Washington com
plaining of what he Inferred was the
| failure of the A. B, C mediators to
request him to appoint delegates to the
peace "parley at Niagara Falls. Ont.
He expressed doubt that the nego
tiations would be successful without
representation of the Constitutionalist
faction.
The Carranza proclamation was ad
dressed to Rafael Zuburan Capmany,
his minister of the Interior, but evi
dently was directed at the' mediators.
The full text of an unofficial trans
lation as received here follows:
"Six days ago conferences began to
treat the international conflict between
the United States and Mexico occa
sioned by the arrest of several Ameri
can sailors by soldiers of Huerta at
Tamplco. To solve this conflict you
offered to the government of the
United States, to Huerta and to me
your good offices, inviting me to ap
point delegates who would represent
the general headquarters of the Con
stitutionalist army, which is under my
orders.
"I answered you that In principle I
would accept your good offices and
later In a separate message I stated
the points, which should be dealt with
in the peace conference. Awaiting an
answer to that dispatch, I have not
named delegates.
"I am surprised that you have con
tinued to treat for a solution of the
conflict between the United States and
the Constitutionalist army, which is In
i my orders and represents the majority
of the people and the largest armed
force of the republic.
"For this reason I state to you that
T believe the conflict between the
' Unite States and Mexico will not be
solved in future conferences unless in
these conferences there is represented
the general headquarters of the Con
stitutionalist army."
Carranza in his message, it was
pointed out by observers, only re
ferred to the international difficulties
[ between Mexico and the United States,
not granting that the mediation pro
ceedings had to do with the arrange
ments of the domestic affairs of th&
republic.

Vera Cruz Unexplained
By Associated Press
i Washington, D. C., May 29. —Secre-
tary Garrison said to-day General
Funston had neither sought nor re
ceived instructions for adjusting the
i situation arising from the arrival of
• the German steamer Havarla at Vera
Cruz without manifest. General Funs
ton so far has made no report of the
■ incident.
"in the circumstances," said Secre
■ tary Garrison. "I am not inclined to
i attach any importance to the matter.
I consider it merely a detail of port
i routine and one that probably will be
. settled by the captain of the port."
Mr. Garrison said all General Funs-
I ton's reports on the landing of arms
at Puerto Mexico from the Bavaria
. and the Ypiranga were based upon
, information furnished by persons ar
riving in Vera Cruz from Puerto
Mexico.

ITarrlsburg's police ambulance was
turned into a regular Charley Boyer
"Joy wagon" yesterday. Three kiddles
from the Hill district took a trip with
Patrolman Fagan and Chauffeur Mehr

Park street, aged 4, 5 and 6 years, re
spectively, made up the joy party.
They left home early in the afternoon
loaded down with candy, cake and
fruit. It was to be an outing at Capi
tol Park.
En route the trio lost their way
and turned up near the cigar factory
in Tenth street. Patrolman Fagan
saw the kiddles in their plight and
offered to get them home. Calling the
ambulance, the young folks were taken
to the police station and later to their
homes. They had a big time riding
around in the ambulance, called Pa
trolman Fagan ""harley 'hover" and
offered to share their candy and cake
with the patrolman and chauffeur. I

WILSON TURNS DOWN
PLEAS OF BUSINESS
[Continued From First Page]
eration to the. men who meet the
payroll.
Threatens Callers
President Wilson took*sharp issue
with three of the largest manufactur
ing associations in tho world who
asked him to drop part of his anti
trust program that business may get
its breath. He declined to make any
change in his plans and told the man
ufacturers who waited upon him that
he believed it to be to the best in
terests of business to complete the
legislation regarded by him and his
party ns necessary and then allow the
rest to come.
The business men were willing to
have the bill creating an interstate
trade commission passed, but wanted
to wait until after that commission
could recommend a new set of anti
trust laws that would properly
strengthen the Sherman law before
new trust laws were passed. The
President made it plain to his visitors
that in his opinion if business men
continued- to oppose the "moderate
amendment" proposed, a new and
drastic anti-trust law would result,
fathered by the radical element In the
United States. He fold his callers that
the business depression is world-wide,
but he feels that better times are
ahead. He regards the depression as
more or less physiological—a "fixed
state of mind," he expressed It—and
he was convinced that great prosperity
is close at hand.
Denies Workers Aro Idlo
The President contradicted the ar
gument of the business men that thou
sands of American workingmen were
out of employment and that business
generally was at a standstill, because
Investors generally were fearful or
risking their money In enterprises that
might be stopped by drastic legis
lation. In his opinion, there is no
material condition or substantial rea
son why business should not be at the
present moment in a most prosperous
and expanding condition.
The business men wonder when they
will be allowed to proceed in their
ordinary pursuits by the adminis
tration. Organized labor, they say,
has received what it demanded; the
President has agreed to a compromise
as to the exemption of labor from the
provisions of the proposed anti-trust
legislation, but when they call upon
the Executive they are told bluntly
Doubts Arise as to Murder
of Yardmaster C. V. Hawse
Special to The Telegraph
Hagorstown, Md., May 29.—Serious
3Hi ;o spuiui am u| uasijn eAuii sjqnop
officers and many residents of Bruns
wick; whether Clyde V. Hawse, yard
master for the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad at that place, formerly of
Harrisburg, was murdered, according
to the verdict returned by the jury.
It will be recalled that Hawse's body
was found in a culvert along the rail
road at Brunswick late Saturday night.
It was supposed that he" had been I
killed and his body thrown into tlio I
culvert. What led many persons to
believe that Hawse had been mur
dered was the fact that he was report
ed to have had a roll of money when
he attended the carnival outside of
Brunswick and only 15 cents was
found In Ills pockets. This is denied
by Mrs. Mawse, who says lie had turn
ed over his pay check to her and that
he only kept $, r > of the money. Hawse's
watch was not taken and was still
running when his body was found.
Several stick pins, emblem pins and
rings were still on the body.

that no one under eighteen shall be
employed in the tobacco factories of
the State. This resolution was adopted
at the Erie meeting and it is certain
that there will be opposition voiced
to it from various parts of tho State.
The tobacco Industry has developed
in this State with tremendous strides,
very much like the silk industry has
expended in the eastern section of the
State and thousands of girls are em
ployed, especially in factories in in
dustrial centers. Many of the factories
are short of hands to meet their re
quirements and this bids fair to be one
of the lirst big problems to be submit

Camp Regretted.-—Many oliicers of
the National Guard are voicing re
grets at the cancellation of the order
for the camp of instruction at Mt.
Gretna, but at the Capitol It Is said
that there is no hope for jt. The gov
ernment is unable to furnish the offi
cers required as most ol' them are on
duty with their regiments in Mexico
or at aTniy posts. It is the hope that
it can be given next year as it is an
important feature of National Guard
work. Thus far it is not believed that
the annual encampments willljo inter

Capitol Closed To-morrow.—The
Capitol will be closed all day to-mor

of the? State officials have gone to their
homes to spend Memorial day.
CnuHicl's Expenses. —Joseph Caufflel,
mayor of Johnstown, who ran for the
Republican nomination for Governor,
spent $3,806 in his»campaign. Ills
account was tiled at the Capitol to-day
and showed that he had paid $3,200
to S. M. Dougherty, treasurer of his
campaign committee, and had spent
S6OH in his traveling expenses.
What Bright Spoilt.—Rjihert S. Bright,
of Philadelphia, candidate for Demo
cratic, nomination for Congress-at
large, spent $202.2 0 for his canvass,
of which $l2O went to the Sixth sena
torial district campaign. He also cer
tified to paying $2 50 to A. Mitchell
Palmer's campaign fund and $l5O to
the Palmer-McCorniick state commit
tee, adding that those contributions
had "no connection with my campaign
for Congress-at-large."
S. E. Shull, of Stroudsburg, spent
$139.04 and Bex N. Mitchell, of Punx
sutawney, $89.41.
Rooster Day.—The farmers' normal
Institute at Stroudsburg yesterday ap
proved the suggestion of W. Theo.
Wittman for June 1 as "rooster day"
on which roosters should be killed,
sold or penned up. The idea as out

tery Association. At the conference
will be the representatives of the
Rutherford estate and the Paxtang
Cemetery Association.
An effort will be made to reach a
mutual agreement on a price and the
money will be the first to he paid from
the $55,000 appropriated by the 1913
SIOO,OOO park loan item.
The parkway over the proposed
route will vary much, as in the Cam
eron and other sections. Eighty feet
will be the narrowest section, perhaps,
and it will vary from that width to
several hundred feet.
While here Mr. Mannlpg will discuss
other phases of the park plnrts for the
summer and will likely look Into the
question of acquiring property in the
lower end of town for a permanent
playground. This will probably be in
the vicinity of the present Thirteenth

Frank B. Wickersham, Steelton,
assistant district attorney, ex-State

been re-elected supreme regent of the

conferred by the Arcanians.
Mr. Wickersham put in most of the
week attending the council sessions.

cities whose councils were important
in Arcanian circles. Consequently the
supreme regent was able to suggest
and have enacted some of the best
laws ever adopted at a supreme coun
cil session. That the Royal Arcanum
approved of his course was evident
by the vote of the highest council —the
choice of Mf. Wickersham was unani
mous.
