Red Spider Appears.

Newberry.-The red spider has
made its appearance in this county.
George P. Hill, a farmer on the Bel.
fast road, three miles west of New
berry, found a place in M of his
fields recently that was infested with
the destructive little pests, the area
being four or five yards square. The
underside Of the leaves was covered
with the webs and the little spiders
were present IN great numbers and
the leaves had turned red, the juice
having been sucked out Of them by
the pests. The cotton was seven OF
eight inches high, out in the middle OF
the field and had been growing nicely,
with no poke or other weeds nearby.
MI. Hill has pulled up the infested
stalks and burned them and hopes by
that means to stop the spread of the
spider.

MEXICO To YIELD
OR MEDIATION EMS
Is ULTlMATUM OF AMERICAN
DELEGATES RELATING TO v.
S. PEACE PLAN.
MAY CONCLUDE I'M MEDIATELY
American Policy is Not Yet Determin-
ed, if the Peace Conference Fails
in Its Purpose.

Niagara Falls, Ont -Justice Lamar's
memorandum to Emilio Rabasa, head
of the Mexican mediation delegation,
announcing that the United States
must insist on the acceptance of its
plan for the pa%ciication of Mexico is
an ultimatum. Unless the Huerta
delegates yield mediation will end at
once.
This is the firm determination of
the United States as conveyed to the
mediators. Ambassador Da Cana of
Brazil, and Minister Suarez of Chile,
asked the American delegates if their
position had changed in view of the
Carranba-Villa split and the reply
was no. .
1t was an informal talk, but served
to advise the mediators that the pub
lished statements of the American
and Huerta delegates with opposite
views on the type Of men to be select
ed for provisional president, defined
clearly the unalterable attitude of the
American Government.
Just what would be the American
policy if mediation fails or what dis
position it would make Of the Amer
jean troops at Vera Cruz is not known
even to the American delegates.
The Huerta commissioners say they
do not know what course Of action
General Huerta may pursue.
The mediators held no formal ses-
sion because Minister Naon, of Aregn-
tina was in Washington. He is ex-
pected back soon and will confer first
with his colleagues who are anxious
to know whether his conferences with
officials Of the Washington Govern
ment developed a new road toward So
luton Of the problem confronting
them. If it has not the various plans
will be formally presented.
o.. Rejection by the Americans Of the
mediators' plan, as well as that Of
tered by the Mexican delegates will
he recorded as matter of form, to-
gether with disapproval by the Mexi-
cans of the American plan. Automat-
ically that would adjourn the confer
ences according to rules Of procedure
adopted when they first convened.
The mediators, however, still have
some names to suggest for provision
al president, but have little hope that
an agreement can be reached.

MEXICO WANTS MAN
AC@CEPTABLET0A ALL
SELECTION OF A SUITABLE PRO
VIsIoNAL IS PROBLEM OF
MEDIAToRs.
SOME M ARE DISCUSSED
No Agreement Has Yet Been Reach
ed-The Task is a Difficult One
and. Causing Work.

Niagara Falls, Ont.-The crux Of the
Mexican problem, the selection of a
man for provisional president, accept
able to all factions in Mexico and for.
eign governments generally = was
reached in a conference between the
mediators and the American and
Mexican delegates.
For more than an hour names of
various individuals were discussed
but on none vas there q semblance
of agreement. There will be another
conference on the same subject. De-
tails of the peace plan are practically
set aside now for the greater task of
finding the man of the hour-he who
can reconcile the warning factions
and maintain peace while a 'constitu-
tional election is held and normal or
der is resumed.
incidentally General Carranza's note
transmitted by Rafael Zubaran, his
representative in Washington, arrived
advising the mediators that Constitu-
tionalist delegates were on their way
to the mediation conference with full
instructions. .
The mediator's made no. comment
on the note. It contains no reference
to an armistice, on which the media
tor. have been insisting and there was
nothing to show that the mediators
had in any way altered their determi-
nation reached not to admit officially
the representatives Of General Carran-
"a unless an armistice was declared.
Some other way Of dealing with them
perhaps through the American dele
gates, may be found when they arrive.
The Constituencies representa-
tives are needed here to facilitate the
course Of the peace program in its
present stages for in the discussion
of names they can be Of mush servire
to mediation generally by Indicating
who will, or will not be acceptable.
At present the mediators have &C.
complished only one step in their
Journey toward the paciication Of
Mexico. This was the adoption of the
first protocol dealing with the trans
fer of authority from the hands Of
the present regime to a new provi-
sional government.

HUERTA DELEGATES
TAKE STRONG TISSUE
IN PUBLIC STATEMENT THEY
GIVE REASONS FOR oPPoS.
ING AMERICAN PLAN.
HE SEEKS FOR NEUTRALITY
This Should Be the Quality of Mexi-
cos Proposed Provisional Presi-
dent-Delegates Surprised.

Niagara Falls, Ont.-The Huerta
delegation to the mediation confer.
ence issued a statement charging that
the insistance by the United States
on a Constitutionalist for the provis-
ional presidency as opposed to a
neutral" was "antamount to abetting
and even exacting fraud and violence
at the elections"
The publication Of this statement
was unexpected by the American del.
egates. When they learned Of 1t their
attitude was that the Huerta delegates
were acting entirely within their
rights when they criticised the Amer
lean plan for the establishment Of q
provisional government in a com
munication addressed to the Ameri.
cans themselves, but they were great
ly surprised by the Mexican dele
gates action in giving it out.
Justice Lamar and Mr.. Lehman
read the statement issued by the
Mexican delegation and determined to
make public their reply.
The Mexican statement outlines the
substance of a memorandum dated
June IL, (which the Huerta delegates
gave to the American delegates and
to which the latter since have re-
piled.
The preface Of the statement ex'
planned that publication was made
because knowledge Of the criticism
already had reached representatives
Of the press. Continuing the state
ment follows:
There is no reason for further
concealment Of the differences that
have arisen between the American
and Mexican delegations to which the
press has already referred over the
provisional government for Mexico
which is at present under considera'
ton. The Mexican. delegation adopt
ing a principle advanced by the me-
dating plenipothentiaries agreed to
the designation of a neutral as pro,
visional president. The American
delegation submitted its plan based
on the condition that the provisional
president shall be a Constituencies,
a condition which the Mexican dele
cation fatty rejected, Of its own &C
cord, and without ven consulting its
government. To put in writing the
reasons for the rejection so that they
might better be studied by the Ameri'
can delegates, the Mexican delegation
addressed to them a memorandum
covering the points of chief consider.

WILSON IS FIRM
FOR TRUST LAWS
USE EVERY EFFORT TO GET
PENDING BILLS THROUGH
SENATE THIS SESSION.
NO HALT IN THE PROGRAM
He Believes There Is Organized Move
ment to Bring IN Early Adjourn.
ment Of the Congress.

Washington. = President Wilson
came out with q fat declaration that,
despite what he characterized as a
deliberate campaign by certain inter
ests to secure adjournment of Con-
gress and postponement Of the admin
STATIONS trust legislation program,
he would use every influence at his
command to get the pending bills
through the senate at this session.
Choosing his words carefully, the
president disclosed his belief that or
gained distribution Of circular let
tiers and kilograms among business
men, members Of congress and other
public officials, calling for an adjourn
ment of congress, a halt in the trust
bills, an increase in freight rates for
the railroads and a rest for business"
was responsible for what he recently
described as a psychological depres-
sion."
In support of that view, the White
House made public copies of letters
and by kilograms brought in by friends
Of the administration. One letter was
circulated by the Simmons Hardware
Company of st. Louis under date OF
June 9. Just prior to that date Presi-
dent Wilson had offered to E. G. Sim
mons, president of that company, a
place on the Federal reserve board.
And now, just before the president
expressed his views on the trust pro-
gram, it was announced that Mr.. Sim
mons had declined the appointment
and that Charles S. Hamlin, of Boston,
would be nominated in his stead.
White House officials 'emphatically
denied that the Simmons letter had
anything to do with the declination OF
the appointment. 1t was said, how
ever, that the president did not know
of the letter: when he offered Mr..
Simmons the place. a..
The presidents declarations and the
publication Of the letters created a
mild sensation, approaching that
which followed the Presidents de-
nunciation Of the "%insidious lobby"
which, he said. twas threatening the
tariff bill last year" Senator'S and
Representatives discussed the situa-
ton, but no action was taken.
One Of the letters made public pur-
ported to have been sent out by the
Pictorial Review Company Of New
York and was signed by w. P. Ahnelt,
president, under date of May 1. 1t &C.

ing against trust legislation, praying
for a freight rate increase and sug-
costing an adjournment OF Congress
with the further suggestion that the
recipient mail copies to the president,
members of Congress, the interstate
commerce commission and other Off
Gals in Washington.

VILLA REMAINS AT T0RRE0N
Has Been Ordered to Assistance OF
lNatera by Carranza But Has Not
Moved Yet.

81 Paso, Texas.-Reports that Cen
eral Villa had resigned as command
er Of the Northern military zone were
confirmed partially here.
Just after the Bureau Of Informa-
ton had announced to the press the
receipt of a message from the front
above Zacatecas, Ornelas' soldiers en-
tered the telegraph Office and the bu.
reau and ordered that no paper be
touched. "
/ An American newspaper man was
seated in the Information Bureau
when the soldiers burst into the room.
They ordered Perez Abreu, In charge
of the bureau not to touch a paper.
The same soldiers in personal com
mand of the Juarez commander short.
" before had taken over supervision
Of the telegraph Office adjoining.
The American finally slipped
through the line Of soldiers and ar
rived here. vi
The action followed conflicting re-
ports from the south regarding the
success or failure Of troops under
General Natera, the Carranza appoin'
tee, in attacking Zacatecas. From
Natera official reorts had said the at
tack was progressing successfully
while from other sources details were
given Of Natera's rout.
General Villa, in the meantime, has
remained at Torreon, although order
I'd by Carranza to proceed to the as
distance Of Natera. Carranza officials
said Angeles, the Constituencies
Secretary Of War, left Torreon with
5000 of Villas troops, including a full
division of artillery. Natera had
complained Of a lack Of cannon. Villa
remained at Torreon but was said to
have begun a general movement OF
his army toward Zacatecas.
The information bureau at Jarez
vas instituted and sustained by Ra-
fael Zubarun, Carranza's Cabinet Min
lister, who at present is representing
the Constitutionalist party at Wash
ington. The question Of the super
Yisorship Of telegraph, heretofore a
service Of National ownership, long
has been disputed between the Villa
and Carranza elements, according to
authentic reports from Culiacan and
Torreon. Colonel Ornelas, the Ju-
arez commander, is a Villa appointee.

Was Reported by British Subjects
Coming From Mexico.
Vera Cruz.-British subjects who
arrived here from Mexico City re-
port a recent clash between Provis-
ional President Huerta and Sir Lionel
Garden, the British Minister. The dis
pute arose out of the advice volun-
teered by Sir Lionel that the de facto
president should resign and leave the
country Immediately. The British
Minister also offered General Huerta
a British warship to take him to any
port he might name together with his
family. g..
General Huerta is said to have be-
come enraged and to have threatened
to arrest Sir Lionel Garden if he ever
repeated the proposal.
Sir Lionel Garden is said to have
based his suggestion on his personal
friendly relations with General HUI
erta and to have urged upon him that
the time had come when fight was
his only recourse.

Proud of Simmons.

Washington-The friends of Sena-

of him than ever; his fight for the bill
to repeal the exemption clause of the
Panama Canal act covered him with
glory at every stage of the battle. No
senator in recent years has fought
harder or with better success. Sena-
tor Simmons did not take the leader
ship in the repeal bill contest Of his
own accord. He had no idea of as
Stunning that role. The truth is, he
hoped it would fall to the lot of some
other man to marshal the forces.
