 Washington, May 15.-The three South American envoys upon whom .rssts the~hope of peaceful solution of the Mexican szsrt,roglio today paid formal visit of fareweif, ts r.~asident Wilson before their departure for Ma gara Falls, Ont, to begin their peace negotiations.
 All the ceremonial of formal diplo- matic intercourse marked the call of three envoys. Ambassador Da Gama of Brazil, Minister Naon of Argentina and Minister Suarez of Chile, accom- panied by Secretary of State Bryan, went to the White House in an auto mobile.
 President Greets Envoys.
 In the blue room, the president, with his military and naval aides attired in full dress uniform, greeted the en- voys. He wished them success on their mission of peace and expressed the hope that when they return to Washington they will have found the solution of the Mexican problem which has confronted the United States gov ernment for three years.
 Although it is customary for am- bassadOrs and ministers on leaving the United States for long absences to say goodbye to the president there was more than the usual farewell in the little scene in the blue room to- day. The three envoys accredited to the United States purposely are leav- ing American territory to divest them selves of their official charge with the American government so that they may act in impartial and intermedi- ary capacity on a neutral soil.
 Mcdiators Have Burden.
 Upon the three mediators devolved the real burden of the conference at Niagara Falls. They are to make all suggestions and initiate all moves. From them must come the plan which all parties will take under considera- tion The American representatives have no plenary powers.
 They bear no credentials, in a for nal sense, but merely an autograph letter from the president instructing them to act as channel of communi- >esSioi oClWCCu llc w gov efnment and the three South Ameri- can envoys who have rendered their good offices for settlement of the Mexican question. A-
 Representatives at Washington.
 Frederick w. Lehman, former so- l1citor general of the United States, and Justice Lamar of the supreme court of the United States, who com- prise the American representatives, and H. Percival Dodge, their secre- .tary, were at the state department to- day going over official reports and fa- niiliarizing themselves generally with the work ahead of them. While they cannot act finally on propositions sub-, EIitted to them. they will be esn- powered to answer good many ques- ttons about the American position without reference to Washington. They were expected to. have a final conference with the president and Secretary Bryan today and will leave early tomorrow for a daylight ride to Niagara Falls, N. Y. Their quarters will be on the American side of the line, to facilitate communication with Washington by telephone and tele- graph,

His message calls to the fact that the present aerial truck is antiquated and unsafe as well as being unable to reach to the roofs of many of the buildings
 Fire Inspection Districts.
 A decided innovation contained in the message will be the districtins of the city for the purpose of continnal inspection. It is Mayor Quigley's in- tention to have the city divided into sections, which will be looked after by the respective fire companies If the firemen find fire escapes in poor condition they can report to the build ing inspector. If they find unsani- tary conditions in houses they can report to the board of health. And if they discover heaps of waste paper in cellars and other conditions that might tend to increase the fire risk they can report to the chief of the fire department. When this system is working, Mayor Quigley believes, (Continued on Fourteenth Page.)

School Book Uniformity.

To THE VOTERS OF Boone COUNTY:
At the next regular School Elec

come before the voters of
Boone county to be voted
upon the question of county unitor-
nifty of school books Boone
county has for the last six years had
uniformity, By uniformity it is.
meant that all districts of Boone
county Except special districts shall
use the same text books for a period
of six years. Should the county
again adopt uniformity it will not
necessarily mean a change in all or
any books now in nse, but by
having county uniformity it enables
the patron to buy the books at a
lower rate from the simple reason
that book companies are forced to
give us their lowest rates in order to
have their books adopted. When
we have uniformity the second hand
books can be exchanged or sold for.
better price because the demand is
greater than when each district uses
separate text books, 1t gives the
child an advantage when going
from one district to another in the
county, 1t also gives the child
books which have been carefully
selected by school men who know
their needs, Every school man in
Boone county should take this
matter into his own hands and see
that his district cast solid vote for
county uniformity All directors
who have not done so will place this
matter in the school notices.
