Rehels lake First seanort.

Vera Cruz, May 13.-The fall of Tampico and what it may mean is the subject of general speculation here. It is learned that the consti- tutionalists delivered determined attack on the port beginning at 4 o'clock this morning. The federal advance posts were driven in and until noon desperate firing was con tiuuous.
 In what direction the federals are evacuating the town has not been learnd, but it is believed that the constituNonalsts have overrun the territory around San Luis Potosi and Monterey, which would make federal escape in that direction possible only by a continuous running fight for many miles.
 Few if any foreigners remain in Tampico according to the last re- ports received here. \ general eXo- dus began when the news spread the rebels were preparing for final as sault.

AMERICAN REPRESENTATIVES, MAKE FORMAL CALL ON THE
 SOUTH AMERICAN ENVoYs.
NEW QUESTIONS DISCUSSED
Execution of Private Parks. U. S. A., and Arrest of South Americans at Vera Cruz for Shipping" Are ln- formally Discussed.

Washington May 13.-First formal steps in the program of mediation in the Mexican problem were taken here today when Justice Lamar and Frederic W. Lehman, together with their secretary II. Perceyal Dodge, who will represent the United States, paid their respects to the three South American envoys who have undertaken by diplomacy to solve the Mexican question.
 The representatives were presented by Counsellor Robert Lansing, acting secretary of state. It was a call of courtesy but paved the way for in formal conferences in advance of the first meeting at Niagara Falls, Ont, next Monday.
 Coincidentally, woru was received by the mediators direct from the Mexican foreign minister at Mexico City that the Huerta representatives would arrive at Havana tonight or to- morrow and leave immediately for Niagara Falls via Key West. An earlier dispatch from Consul Canada at Vera Cruz intimated that the Huerta delegates might delay several days at Havana.
 Reports were current that strong pressure would be brought to bear on the cousttutionalists from sev- eral ouarters after the expected vic tory at Tampico to induce them to participate in the mediation.
 President Wilson during the day promised a delegation of oil well owwners at Tampico that as soon as the fighting ceased he would make strong representations to the author ities in control there to secure 9 re- sumption of oil operations.
 Secretary Bryan announced that the United States had no intention of holding Lobos Island and that if tbe Nexicans would keep the naYiga- ton lights burning there the Ameri- can forces would depart content. The mediators do not regard the Lobos Island incident as menacing the forthcoming negotiations.
 Secretary Garrison cabled General Funston at Vera Cruz to demand of General Maas, the Mexican com mander. a full explanation of the death of Private Parks, who strayed into Mexican lines several days ago. Protest against the reported execu- tion of Parks and the alleged burning of his body has been made also through diplomatic channels to Gen eral Huerta. Secretary Garrison holds that as Parks was in uniform, he should have been treated as a

Widows Are Mothers to Many

Up in the North Carolina mountain
region, between the Blue Ridge and
the Great Smoky ranges, a wealthy
resident, J. McWhitaker, recently
gave a dinner to II widows. Aside
from the fact that it takes a bold.
brave man to attempt entertaining so
many women at one time there is the
additional point, properly shown by
figures that the region thereabouts is
one productive of long life and large
families.
The combined ages of the II widows
are 1893 years, the average being six
ty-one. The number Of children OF
these women is 1852, grandchildren 2S9,
great-grandchildren so, great-great-
grandchildren 9. The average ages OF
the grandchildren is seventeen years,
and of the REORGANIZATION nine.
The dinner was a bountifuI one and
the mountains lent It their best, in
Guiding wild turkeys, pheasant, veni-
son and the choicest products of the
farm and the garden.
