Washington, June 9.-Men killed in

States during April numbered 346. as
compared with 2S5 in April, 1913, ac-

The large increase this April was
due to an explosion at Eccles, w. Va,

ilUERTA CALLS
OFF BLOCKADE
Mexican Dictator Relieves
Delicate Situation.
MEDIATION WILL PROCEED
Spanish Embassy at Washington Re-
ceives Official News and Promptly
Notifies Secretary Bryan-Auerta
Orders Mexican Gunboats to Re-
turn at Once to Puerta Mexico.

Washington, June 9.-Huerta has
decided not to blockade Tampico and
force the hand of the United States
with the possibility of disrupting the
mediation proceedings at Niagara
Falls. Mr.. Riano, the Spanish am
bassador, notified Secretary Bryan
officially to that effect.
Thus the latest crisis in the Mexi-
can situation, fraught with possibili-
ties of renewed hostilities between
Huerta and the United States, passed
over.
What actuated Huerta in backing
down does not appear in the brief ad-
vices which reached Washington, but
his action was inspired, it was stated,
by a sincere desire not to jeopardize
the success of mediation.
In official circles here the rescind-
ing of the order was regarded as an
indication that General Carranza will
be received into the Niagara confer
ence.
Mediators Have Been Busy.
There were broad intfmations here
that the influence which has caused
Huerta to rescind his order went to
Mexico City all the way from Niagara
Falls, where, it is said the mediatOrs
and the Mexican delegates have been
urging him in the strongest possible
terms to withdraw his position and
let the mediation proceed.
1t does not appear here that HUI
erta's change of position had been
contingent upon any alteration of plans
for the cargo of the steamer Antilla
steaming for TampicO, with arms for
the Constitutionalists. 1t has been
suggested that possible pressure upon
the owners of the ship might cause
them to divert her.
One thing, however, is plain. Pres
ident Wilson was determined that
Tampico should be kept open to the
commerce of the world and the Amer
ican ships under Rear Admiral Mayo
were in evident readiness to enforce
it.
General Huerta's dispatch announc
ing the suspension of the blockade
was received at the Spanish embas-
sy and its purpOrt communicated i'm

VENT TO SCHOOL TO THE CROWD

There is in the simple. homely
Shrases Of this appeal a key TO the
character and success Of James Kelley.
There is here an echo Of the terse
Anglo-Saxon with whose help he used
10 sell papers on the streets of London
Ii first goes straight to the point and
then il coaxes. And there is here also
a strong sense of the solidarity Of hu-
mainly and Of the democracy Of the

Kelley went TO school TO the crowd.
AS a reporter he took post graduate
course among individuals. If there is
an average man Kelley knows him.
and if there isn't Kelley knows his
substitute.
Add to such an education the sort Of
will that goes with a bullet head and
a body welded into iron by the buffet

rough summary of one Of the most 10
