Another possible outcome of the Wash

Roosevelt and republican leaders. Re-
ports that such a meeting might take

Col. Roosevelt on a joint republican-pro-

however that he might meet republican

Seeks First-Hand Information.
OYSTER BAY. May 25-The trip which
Col Roosevelt is to make to Washington
tomorrow took on new significance
when it became known tUlay that the
former President would hold an impor-
tant conference with prominent progress
sives there.
On his arrival at the capital Col. Roose-
welt will go direct to the progressive
headquarters, where he expects to see
all the progressives in Congress. From
them he expects to obtain first-hand in
formation as to the course of events in
Washington during the last few months.
This conference will determine in large
measure plans to be followed in starting
the Udll TOilluS IOT Tie 1clll Ct1IupdlSI.
Col. Roosevelt has been urged by many
Of his supporters since his return from
South America to lose no time in TAX
ing issue at once with President Wilson,
! without waiting for the formal opening
of the campaign. He said few days
ago that he desired to keep out of poll
tics as much as possible until after his
return from Spain, but recent events have
caused him to consider the question of
| jumping into the fray at once.
He also expressed briefly his opposition
| to the Wilson administrations advocacy
| of the canal tolls exemption act, and to
the proposal to pay s25.OO0.OO0 to Colom-
| bia. 1t is understood that he will make
his severest attack upon the present ad-
ministration's foreign policy and upon the
operation of the Underwood tariff law.
1t has been suggested to the colonel
that by remaining silent he is permitting
the republicans to steal a march on the
progressives by getting first into the field
with their criticisms of the Wilson
policies. This suggestion has had con-
siderable weight with the former Presi-
dent, and it is not improbable that be-
fore he sails for Europe at the end OF
this week he will fire the opening gun
in what is expected to be the hardest
fight Of his career.

WASHINGTON OFFICIALS
CONTINUE CONFIDENCE OF
SUCCESS FOR MEDIATION
Intimate Developments Opening Path for
Final Peace in MexiCo==Calderon May
Represent Constitutionalists

in their handling of the negotiations
with the Washington government was
asserted here tonight. The report that
Fernando Calderon, who has been in
conference with Gen. Carranza at
Saltillo, had left for Washington was
taken as an indication that Calderon
would take charge of the Constitu-
tionalist interests here.
Calderon's coming, it was suggested,
might presage actual negotiations in
an informal way with the American
and Huerta representatives at Mia
CARA Falls relative to provisional gov
eminent plans. In the meantime, how
ever, the most reliable information OBJ
tainable here was that Villa was to
continue to advance toward Mexico
City and that the mediators were to
do everything in their power to avert
a break until further official eommu-
nications had been received from Gen.
Huerta and the Constitutional leaders
in Mexico.

Carranza's note is understood to re-
iterate his willingness to have par
ticipated in the various conferences
whose sole object he recognized to De
the pacification of Mexico and whose
great offices he tentatively recognized.
The futility of discussion of Mexican
internal affairs, however, is pointed
out.
While thanking the mediators Tor
their efforts the first chief made
plain, according to the word reaching
here that among the subjects he con-
sidered it impossible to discuss are the
proposed armistice, military move
ments of the Constitutionalists, the
agrarian question and the designation
of a provisional President of Mexico.
Carranza stated that he believed that
he only complies with his duty as
first chief of the Constitutionalist
forces when he declares that grave
error has been committed in attempt
ing to solve such questions of trans

ENDING FORTY
YEARS. QUARREL
Timber Land Dispute Ends
In Death for One---Self-
Defence Claim of Other
Was Threatened with an
Axe in Home
DREW Revolver AND
FIRED AS LAST RESORT

North Reading, Mass. June 21.-A 40
years quarrel over timber land came to
a climax today when Charles Samuel
Harris was instantly killed by bullet
fired from the revolver of his brother
James
Directly after the shooting James gave
himself up to Thomas Coswell, chief of
police He said that his brother had at
tackled him with an axe during an argu-
ment over cutting the timber on their
land and that he shot in self defence.
Charles Harris was Sc years of age and
James is IS.
According to the statement made by
James Harris to the police, the two
brothers, although living together for 40
years. had always been at1odds over the
disposition of the timber. Today, James
said, Charles went to the lot and felled
several small trees. When Charles re-
turned to the house James met him in
the kitchen and the ancient quarrel was
renewed James told the police that
Charles suddenly lost his head in the
argument and raised an axe James
jumped back, he said, and to protect his
own life drew a revolver and fired six
shots.
James told the police that he did not
intend to kill his brother. He said he
kept firing at the floor in front of him.

tinued to advance with the axe. and one

killing him.
A few minutes after the shooting Ed
ward Coran, a friend of the brothers.
came to visit them. Coran says he found
James in the kitchen and the body of
Charles on the floor 1t was upon his ad
vice that James gave himself up.
James explained the presence of the
revolver in his pocket by saying that he
was a special police officer and had a
permit to carry it.
Rev. Benjamin Harris of Lowell, a
brother, has been notified James Harris
will be arraigned in the Woburn district
court tomorrow.

Shooting During Drive

The shooting occurred in a lonely
stretch of road just outside of Exeter,
while she was driving in a two-seated
carriage with her husband, who had
come to pass the weekend with her
at their summer home in Newmarket.
Five bullets took effect in his body.
Mrs. Folsom is under the charge of
nurses in a private room at the jail.
According to the officials while she
expressed regret at the shooting, she
appeared dazed and unable to recall
all that happened She denied that she
had driven to the railroad station to
meet her husband with any intention
of doing any harm to him. She eX-
planned her possession of a revolver
by saying that she had held one at
HON for some time to protect herself.
Mrs. Folsom had an affecting inter
view at the jail with her sister, while
her aged father, Capt. Washington w.
Hardy, retired sea captain, of Do
yer. remained outside the room.
One of the county officials expressed
the opinion today that Mrs Folsom
would not be tried He pointed out
that she was released two years ago
from an asylum where she had been
confined for three years because of
mental disorder, and steps could be
taken to have her recommitted.
1t was learned from friends and
relatives of the woman that she had
expressed fear lately that she would
be sent back to the asylum. No ac-
ton has been taken as yet toward
having her examined as to her sanity
She has placed her case in the hands
of Dwight Hall, an attorney of Dover.
Mr.. Hall is at Hanover for the Dart
mouth commencement exercises and
at his home it was said that he was
not expected to return until the end
of the week.
When arraigned before Judge Ed
ward d. Mayer at Exeter last night,
Mrs. Folsom pleaded guilty and said:

understand my reasons for killing my
