by committee of Elks. His daugh-
ters-Mrs w. C. Midgley and w. C.
er,-accompanied by Mr.. Ritter. ar
rived this morning, and Mrs. Max
well Will be in from Salt Lake City

The marriage of the two daughters

Salt Lake City,, The grooms are

well and her son Claude.
John Maxwell was 81 years old
b. w. Vedder of this city worked
with him on the Hannibal & st. Joe
railroad out of Moberly, Mo-, in 1870.
Other well known engineers on the
same road are AL Latham of Denver
and Dennis McGraw of Salt Lake
City. Until the time of his death he
had been an engineer or road fore
man of engines on different roads in
the middle and intermountain west.
Mr.. Maxwell was considered one of
the best engineers in the entire SER
vice. 1t was admitted on all sides
that he had few equals at the throt-
tie of locomotive and that he was
as reliable man as the road en-
ployed. One of the exploits for
which he viii always be remembered
was the exhibition-of great presence
of mind by which he saved an opera
special from destruction about two
years ago. He was pulling long
special carrying members OF New

York theatrical troupe. At the Wood
side bridge he saw that high water
had swept the bridge out of line. AL
though he was making fast time ana
had not an eighth of a mile to work
in, he stopped the train before 1t
reached the banks of the swollen
stream. Mr.. Maxwell not only re-
ceived numerous merit marks for his
work but also a personal letter from
President J.effery according him spe-
cial praise.
Last January Mr.. Maxwell sus-
tanned a dislocated ankle, when the
apron of the Green River coal chute
dropped on his cab. he jumped out
of his window ,sand, in alighting on
the ground, his. ankle was turned by
a piece of coal. This was practically
the only injury he sustained in all
the years he had worked on the Rio
Grande.
In 1897 he struck sand drift
while running out of Green River
and his engine turned completely
around. General Roadmaster Thom-
as Lee, who was riding on the engine,
was Instantly killed. and Fireman
Thomas H. RAIDER (later an engineer)
was badly scalded; but Mr.. Maxwell
escaped.
Mr.. Maxwell had hosts of friends
and few, if any, enemies. He was
outspoken in his views; but he was
broad-minded. sympathetic and char
liable.
The arrangements for his funeral
will not, be made until his family ar
rive from the west 1t will probably
be held under the, auspices of the
Elks lodge, of which he was an old
member.

Washington. = The initiation of President Wilson's policy of mediation ,;,tth respect to Mexico was an- pouneed when Secretary of State Bryan made public the fact that for mer Governor John Lind, of Minnesota had left Washington for Mexico City. where he will be the personal repre- sentative of the President and adviser to the American Embassy.
 While no authoritative information was forthcoming from the White House or the State Department, the plan of the Administration for bring ing the Mexican troubles to an end, and which ex-Governor Lind was in structed to endeavor to execute, was understood to be as follows:-
 An agreement among the con- tending factions for suspension of hostilities pending the election of a constitutional President.
 2--An effort to persuade President Huerta to retire from office and the installation of a provisional President acceptable to Huertistas and Consti- tutionalists.
 3-Constitutiona elections for the choice of a President and Congress and the establishment of a Constitu- tional government that will be rec ognized by the United States.
 It is the intention of President W.l- son to announce the full details of his mediation policy in very short time. In the meantime MT. Lind, who start ed for Mexico, will be endeavoring to ascertain the situation and establish relations which will and him in the negotiations he is to undertake.
 Wilson was permitted to resign for the reason that he is out of harmony with the President and the Secretary of State.
 MT. Wilson has been held on waiting orders by the Department of State, and on August IA will enter upon a status of leave of absence which will continue until October IA, when his resignation will be come effective. The administration has forbidden him to go to Mexico City to adjust his per sonal affairs between now and October IA. The reason for this is that it is known that should MT. Wilson re- turn to Mexico City even as a private citizen there would result a demon stration in his honor in which Ameri- cans, Mexicans and foreigners would participate. The Ambassador himself informed the State Department that he thought because of the certainty of occurrences which would be dis agreeable to the present administra- tion at Washington he ought not to go back to Mexico City.
 Should Mexico refuse our good of fees, there will be no armed interven- ton in that country by the United States. This, the administration has taken as the fundamental of its policy toward Mexico. Instead, in the event of a failure of the mediation pro- gram, the President ii is Believed, will Hit the embargo on arms and am munition and thus invite the Mexicans to fignt it out until they weary of it.
