The names ot those mentioned In connection with the vacancy include ex-President Taft, members of the Cabinet and others.

HARRISBURG, PA., MONDAY EVENING, JULY 13, 1914 REDEMPTfIRISTS TO HAVE A MONASTERY 1111 LANCASTER CO. Bishop Shanahan Has Closed Deal For Purchase of Stock Farm at Ephrata IN HARRISBURG DIOCESE Members of Order Will Have Home in Rich Agricultural Section Bishop Shanahan. of this city, head of the Harrisburg diocese of the Ro man Catholic Church, has just closed an important real estate deal by the purchase of Clare Point Stock Farm, at Ephrata, Lancaster county. This farm is to serve as a home for the Redemptorist Fathers in the Harris burg diocese. In one of the richest and most fer tile sections of Lancaster county, it is nn Ideal location. Tlie farm is a tract of eighty-one acres, with a beautiful mansion and five other tenement houses. It has its own electric and gas plant on the property, also a well of medicinal water, through which Mr. Wilson, the former proprietor, pro longed his life for fifteen years, and decided to make Ephrata his home, and spared no money in beautifying the property. The borough of Ephrata is beauti fully situated in a thickly populated part of Lancaster county, the garden spot of the world, and is known as the "Carlsbad of America" on account of its medicinal waters. It has a popu lation of nearly 5,000 and is reached by trolley and the Reading railroad (Lancaster branch) from Reading, Lancaster, Lebanon and the numerous small villages In the immediate vicin ity.

HUERTI WILL TURN BUSINESS OVER TO CMMI Hi QUIT Carranza Announces Unwillingness to Deal With Federal Leader's Successor LITTLE FIGHTING EXPECTED Carbajal Is Now Chief Justice of Mexico's Supreme Court; Was Elected Recently By Associated Press Washington, D. C., July 13.—Mexico City was looked to to-day as the place where the next his scene In the Mexi can situation would he staged. With Huerta about to quit and turn over I his affairs to his new foreign minis ter, Francisco Carbajal, hope was ex pressed that a way might be found J peacefully to transfer the government Ito the Constitutionalists and avert | military conquest of the capital by .their triumphant forces. Carranza has announced his un willingness to deal'with Carbajal. re garding him as the creation of Huerta. I Nevertheless it has been suggested that parleys fofr the quick transition of power might take place if Car bajal appeared in the role of repre sentative of a faction, rather than as provisional head of a government which the Constitutionalists refuse to recognize. Carranza, it was declared, intended to follow the "plan of Guada lupe," which provides fofr military occupation of the capital. However, several European and South American nations, It was said, might frown on such a course. They regard with ap prehension the possibility of lighting in Mexico City and forceful resump tion of power without some previous guarantee to the populace. It has been strongly Intimated that If Car ranza, after Huerta's elimination, should insist upon his original pro gram, disapproval would he manifest ed by several nations. They might refuse to recognize the Constitution alist lender unless he showed a dispo sition to give some quarter. Hostilities Near End Indications were not lacking, how ever, that a way might be found for the transfer of power without much further lighting. The impression pre vailed widely in Washington that hos tilities In Mexico were near an end. Huerta, It was believed, might quit Chapultepec some day this week. Au tomatically the new foreign minister, Francisco Carbajar, would assume the role of provisional president. Carbajal is a man of law. He is less than 50 years old. Of an academic temperatment, he, never has served in the army, lie came Into interna tional prominence as the envoy of Diaz al the Juarez peace conference In 1911 after the Madero revolution. A few weeks ago he was elected chief justice of the republic's Supreme Court after serving several years aa associate justice. He received his edu cation In Mexico. He is said to be of a conciliatory disposition, anxious for the restoration of order and not likely to elect to resist with an army the approach of the Constitutionalists.
