This peaceful settlement Of q con-
troversy which might have dragged
its way through the courts for years
as disturbing factor in business was
the cause of an immediate better feel
ing in the financial centres Of the
country. The part played by J. p.
Morgan & Co. in this settlement Is not

been the power behind the American

Mexico City, Dec. 26.-President
Huerta's plan of organizing state
guards to act independently of the
federal army is to be extended to the
federal district. Announcement. was
made last night that after January I
a federal district garrison of 5000
men will be entrusted to safeguard
the capital and environs. This body
is. not to be subject to service else
where.
The federal district is like a terri-
tory in its organization and is not in
cluded in the general plan to enlist
militia in every state. The men for
the federalist guard are said to be
already enlisted and prepared for ac-
tice service. This is to release the
troops which have heretofore been
kept for service in the capital.
Reports still persist Of rebel activ1.

have been no clashes of late with the
federals..

MEDIATION UNDER NEWLANDs
ACT 70 BE AWAITED BY
BOTH PARTIES


San Francisco, July 81. For two
months the general committee OF the
Order OF Railway Telegraphers has
been in session here negotiating with
the Southern Pacific company a new
wage schedule on which it has been
thus far unable to reach an agree
ment When this fact became known
here today E. ]. Mahon, fifth vice
president OF the order, who has been
active in the negotiations, said the
situation was delicate, whire at the
offices of the company it was de-
scribed at mot acute.
Thus there win be in session here
at the end of this week general com
mittees representing five unions,
whose membership includes a major
ity Of the employees in charge Of the
movement of trains. They are the
Order Of Railway Conductors, the
Brotherhood Of Railway Trainmen.
The brotherhood Of Locomotive En-.
gineers, the brotherhood Of Locomo.
tive Firemen and Enginethen, ana tA
g4Hs1 Railway Tolegfspheis.
The conductors and trainmen an
nounced last night tnat SO per cent
of their membership mad voted to
strike unless an agreement could be
reached on terms of employment, pro-
motion and seniority on the com-
pany's electric lines, which the men
fear are to be operated at lower pay
on a trolley car basis.
No further immediate developments
are expected until word has been re-
loeived from the mediators named
under the Newland act passed this
month by congress as an emer scnoy
measure to deal with the strike sit
uation on the Eastern railroads. The
company invoked their officers by
telegraph last night and the conduct
ors and trainmen stated thai they
were willing to consider mediation,
but not arbitration No actlon has
been taken by the engineers, firerlen
and enginemen, who have asked the
conductors and trainmen to postpone
final decision until it can be learn
ell how the company's plan 70 5per-
ate its electrified lines as separate
units affects the motive Powcr ie-
partment.
The telegraphers' list Of grievances
is separate from that Of the other
unions, but they are in close touch
and sympathy with them.

ENGLAND HOLDS OUT

London, July S1-Great Britain has
decided against participation in the
Panama-Pacific exposition at San
Francisco in 1915 Notification Of
this determination of the British gov
ernment was conveyed officially to
Washington early this week, the dis
patch merely stating that Great Brit
ain was not in a position to partici-
pate in the San Francisco exposition.
No reasons were given.
It has been mooted for some time,
however, that the dispute in regard
to the Panama canal tolls might pos
sibly lead to this result and the pres
ent notification Of non-participation
is attributed to that cause.

being no indications Of further de-
monstration against him, General Fe-
lx Diaz, the Mexican special envoy
to Japan and his suite, took motor
trip today, guarded only by Mexican
secret service men. He maintained

an interview with General Geronimo
Treyino. the veteran soldier and asso-
ciate of his uncle, Porfirio Diaz, who
recently announced that ne was will
ing to return to Mexico and act as
mediator between the warring fac

In curt replies to the questions of
interviewers, General Diaz said the
demonstration of rebel sympathizers
last night, when menacing shouts OF
Death to DiazY drowned the vivas Of
his friends, was of no consequence.
In his motor trip, however, the gen.
eral and his party carefully avoided
the vicinity of the Mexican colony.

lively row between Senator Reed ana
Attorney Robert McCarter. McCar-
ter insisted on asking questions him
self; Senator Reed insisted that all
questions should go through the CON-

with Senator Reed.
McCarter precipitated the outbreak
by asking Mulhall II he had not been
discharged from the Cleveland police
force for violation Of state law
Mulhall replied he was dismissed
for political reasons, and demanded
counsel.
Il was advised by friends to refuse
to answer" he said. Il want counsel

til I have it. I'll go to jail before
I'll answer questions about my per-
sonal affairs 80 or 30 years ago"
Instead Of being designed to throR
light on this ease, many of these
questions are designed to throw mud
at the Witness" said Senator Reed.
This is an investigation, not trias.
1 insist you have no right to say
word here" he concluded, addressing
McCarter.
MuIhall withdrew his demand for
counsel and the hearing proceeded.
with the attorneys submitting their
questions to Chairman OYerman.
eIs it not true that Samuel H
Springer, who resides at your house,
tried to dispose Of these letters to
the philadelphia Press and the Phil
adelphia Record?" Mulhall was ask
ed.
"It's a vicious lie" he shouted.
Mulhal denied that he ever offer
ed the correspondence to two maya
zines or to the New York Times. He
denied having made statement to
Richard Barry, who was representing
him, that the manufacturers would
pay s15O.O0O for the documents Il
they could not be disposed Of to pa
pers or magazines.
Mulhall denied that he agreed Bar
ry should sell the letters to the New
York World for $4,000 and that he
would be content with $4,000, but
later he testified that at Barry's sug-
gestion he did agree. He never paid
Barry.
"Have you published all the letters

PASSES RESOLUTIONS URGING Y.
M. c. A. TO ACCEPT MONT
EZUMA PROPERTY

The committee appointed by the
Commercial club to examine the prop
osition of accepting the generous Of
fer of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe Railway company to give the Hot
Springs property to the Las Vegas
Y. NJ. G. A., made It's report to the
directors of the clup last night.
Messrs. Kintrel, Hayden and Springer
were present, having been appointed
by the board Of directors Of the Y.
M. G. A. to represent the association.
The proposition as presented by the
Atchison, Topeka & SANTA Fe railway
is that the company will turn over its
properties at the Hot Springs to the
Y. M. c. A. with the one condition
that the property shall not be dis
posed Of without the roads consent
There are no other binding features
All matters pertaining to the ac-
ceptance Of the properties were dis
cussed, it being the opinion of all
present that ways and means would
be forthcoming when the whole COM
munity realizes the value of these
properties as a means of attracting a
desirable class of new citizens here.
On motion Of Director Stephen Pow
ers the following resolution was unan-
imously adopted:
Resolved, that the board of direct
ors recommend that the Y. M. G. A.
accepts title to the Montezuma hotel
property upon the terms EXPRESSED
in Mr.. Engle's letter of July 10, 1913,
with the understanding that the Com
mercial club will recommend to the
community that it give the Y. M. G.
a. the necessary support for the
maintenance and preservation of the
property and that upon the failure
Of the community to SO support and
maintain the property no adverse
criticism or opprobrium will attach
to the Y. M. G. A. for its failure to
support and maintain the property;
1 it being understood that the 7. M. G.
A. declines to assume any responsi-
bility for maintaining the property
in good shape that will entail the ez-
I penditure Of money"

The gasoline tank of the racing

The. fiery fluid was thrown over at
least 80 persons and it is considered
surprising that the death list did not
run even higher The cause of the
accident, according to Gabanna OF
the Cleveland team, which was con-
testing with the Cincinnati team at
the time, is that Johnson collided
with him moment before he crash
ed into an electric Tight pole at the
side of the track. Gabanna said the
impact was slight, but that it forced
Johnson to go to the outside and in
doing so he took the upper elevation
of the track This started him on
his road to destruction, but just why
he was not able to right himself can
not be explained even by his fellow
riders in the race.
