corning an essential phase of the pre-
liminaries. The mediators declined to
disclose the character Of the difficult
ties which caused delay. but cont.n-
ned their effort to bring the Amer
lean and Mexican delegates together
upon common ground.
The situation was explained by &
spokesman for the mediators and the
delegates in order to clear away the
misunderstanding. 1t is this:
Notwithstanding intrOductions in
Washington. the South American d.
plOmatists. the representatives Of the
United States and Of the Huerta gov
eminent came together practically as
individual strangers and also with i'm.
perfect knowledge Of the issues to be
presented. As in all negotiations OF
this character. time necessarily was
consumed In becoming acquainted and
in reaching an understanding of one an
others personal idiosyncrasies.
When President Wilson and General
Huerta accepted the good offices Of the
South American ENJOYS to settle their
differences the latter felt certain that
the conferences would develop great
possibilities and reach far beyond
peace in Mexico and touch the peace
OF the whole western hemisphere.
They felt the delicacy Of their positions
and did their utmost to avoid any false
steps that might endanger the success
OF their efforts: Out Of this conference
u to come. It is hoped BY those Upon
whom the responsibility has fallen.

the occasion. Adjacent to this o
smaller rooms were fitted with desks
and writing paraphernalia. where men,
bers Of the conference could retire for
private consultation.
The mediators have taken part in
various social functions. and some spe-
cial excursions were arranged for their
benefit. Especially have the women
wives and daughters Of the members
been showered with attentions. and
special sightseeing parties We're organ
lied for them. The pretty daughters
Of Signor Rahasa. one Of the Huerta
mediation ENJOYS. have been centers
Of attraction and have emphatically de
clared themselves for peace.
The most notable entertainment was
the garden party given in honor of the
delegates ut Toronto by the Duke and
Duchess Of Connaught. Although the
lay was taken up mainly in travelling
to and from Toronto and in social du-
ties at that place. the peace ENJOYS and
the American and Mexican delegates
managed to have a formal conference
lasting an hour. at which an imaginary
obstacle to complete understanding on
the main questions embraced in the
negotiations was removed. This con.
ference was held In the King Edward
hotel In Toronto prior to the departure
IF the commissioners and those accom-.
panying them to attend the garden par.
ty given in their honor by the Duke
md Duchess OF Connaught.
During the stay OF the Mexican dele
gates in Toronto there was much in

followers Of General Felix Diaz. who

ROADS RACE TO SECURE
A LINE TO The SOUTH
SOUTHERN PACIFIC AND HILL
SYSTEM MAY HAVE LIVELY
STRUGGLE.

PORTLAND. Ore, April 3.-Now
that the residents of Grants Pass have
undertaken to finance construction of
a railroad from that city southeaster-
ly toward Crescent City, Cal. several
rival railroad interests-chiefly the
Southern Pacific and the Hill lines
are becoming active in the effort to
secure control or possession of the
property.
1t is evident that the Southern Pa
cific wants and needs the road. 1t will
form an important link in the South
ern Pacific's proposed "all coast" line
between Portland and San Francisco.
Should the pending litigation intended
to dissolve the Southern Pacific-Cen-
trail Pacific merger prove successful.
the Southern Pacific would be left
without direct line of its own into
California. The Southern Pacific
owns a half interest in the Northwest
ern Pacific, extending from San Fran
cisco along the coast toward Crescent
City. The Santa Fe owns the other
! half but the Southern Pafific recently
undertook to build a northern exten.
sion on its own resources. 1t Is pro.
posed to connect this extension with
the line now being built from Grants
Pass. thus making the Southern Pa
cific line complete.

GIRLS RESENT CRITICISM
THEY DON'T WANT TO WORK
OAKLAND MISSES DEMAND APOL-
OGY FOR INTIMATION THEY
ARE LAZY.

OAKLAND. Cal, April 3.-James
A. Vandegrift, an Oakland manufac-
turer and large employer of labor,
raised a storm of protest among Oak
land working girls when he said, in
a speech before the Rotary Club.
that Oakland girls didn't want to
work"
Oakland fathers make too much
money! said Vandegrift, THE
daughters feel that with fathers in
come what it is. they do not have to
work. and our great trouble is with
girls who want Job just long enough
to buy some little piece Of extra fin
cry. We are continually In trouble
getting girls enough, and 1t is all be-
cause the average Oakland head OF
the family is prosperous"
The working girls Of Oakland didn't
mind the statement that father was
prosperous. but they did object to the
| implication that they were lazy, and
they promptly came to their own res
cue. The girls in the big department
stores called mass meeting for sun
| day afternoon, and passed a set o.
resolutions protesting against Vande
grift's "slur on the energy of Oak
land girls" Part of this resolution
which was signed by more than l0O'
girls. was as follows:
Resolved. that while the father
of Oakland's working women may b
more prosperous than those of othe
cities, their daughters are not lazy
and strongly resent any implication
that they are. and we call on MI
vandegrift for an apology"
So far, Vandegrift has not apolog
lied.
