How Ear VIII IL Go2

Washington, May 18.-While the
stage was being set in Niagara Falls
today for the next big scene in the
Mexican mediation drama, officials in
diplomatic and administration circles
eagerly discussed the extent to which
the peace conference might go in at
tempting settlement of the south
ern republics ills. Reported optimism
OF the Huerta delegates over chances
for mediation found reflection in the
capital.
Members of the Mexican federal
mission were in New York today

Niagara Falls to arrange for the be-
ginning OF the conference next We'd

there Tuesday night or early We'd
nesday morning about the time the
Huerta representatives arrive from
New York.
HUERTA DELEGATES SILENT.
The Huerta delegates firmly de-
clined while here to give out any
statement OF their program. Never
theless, some idea of their viewpoint
was believed to have been obtained
from representative Mexicans and
others with whom they talked They
were reported as feeling that the fed
eral administration is disintegrating
and that 1t is inevitable that a sue
cessor must be chosen for Huerta. At
the same time, they are vitally in

ing the determination OF the extent
of Hooker's injuries.
no the officers who arrived on the
scene shortly after the shooting, Will
liams stated that he had shot Hooker
because he (Hooker) had ordered
him out of his own home and that
he didn't propose to stand for any
such treatment. The two had been
drinking together and the row is sup

trivial affair, such as that detailed by

MEXICAN DICTATOR IS
READY TO STEP DOWN
Huerta Authorizes Delegates to
Submit His Resignation.
FOR THE SAKE OF, PEACE.
Stated Positively i'm Dispatches From
Thoroughly Competent Source
i'm Mexico City.

Washington, May 1S.-General
Huerta has authorized the Mexican
mediation delegates to submit his
resignation in case such a course is
necessary to settlement in peace ne
gotiations. This was stated positive
ly in dispatches today from a thor
oughly competent diplomatic source
in Mexico City to one of the foreign
representatives here and confirms in
timations given by friends OF the del
egates here yesterday.
According to this information from
Mexico City, Huerta at first author
lied the delegates to discuss only the
question of the Tampico conflict lead
ing to the American occupation of
Vera Cruz. Later the Mexican die
tator, 1t is explained, came to recog-
nize the necessity of a broader set
tlement and then conveyed to the
delegates assurance that he was pre-
pared to step down should this course
be found necessary by them.
The problem causing chief concern
to diplomats in Mexico City now is
that of the form Of administration to
be established during the interim be-
fore constitutionally elected Presi-
dent could assume office. No init
nations concerning the name of a
possible successor to Huerta were
contained in the dispatch, this sub
ject being one in which it would be
necessary to consult the opinion OF
Constitutionalist and other leaders in
Mexico.
The information that the Mexican
delegates had been given provisional
authority to submit the resignation
of Huerta did not occasion great sur.
prise here as close friends OF the
Huerta governments commission
broadly intimated yesterday that the
definite elimination of the dictator
probably would be one OF the frs
fruits of the Niagara Falls confer
ence.
1t was emphasized today that tn,
men chosen to act for the Mexican
federal government are not pre-emi
nently "Huertistas," but represen
the broader views OF best citizens O
the federal districts and are de
sirous above all else OF pacifying thu
republic.
There was no hint in official cir
cles today as to what form OF gov
ernment might succeed the Huert:
regime. 1t was expected, however
that the United States would no
sanction the elevation to suprem
authority of any Mexican who hat
gained his pre-eminence "by arbi
trary power"

BANKERS MEETING.

Alta "get acquainted conference
of rational bankers from the banks
assigned to the Minneapolis regional
bank district held in ST. Paul last
Saturday, 100 bankers discussed vari
Gus phases of the federal reserve act
and the probable makeup Of the
board of directors who will manage
the bank. Twenty bankers from
Wisconsin attended. The conference
authorized protest sent to Comp
troller Williams, Washington, rela-
tive to his ruling on the federal act
for the amount of real estate loans Of
national banks-the recent ruling
making the total one quarter of the
banks capital and surplus, while the
wording of the act permits one-third
of time deposits. There was much dis
cussion as to whether this meeting
should select a committe to recon-
mend names for directors of the
Minneapolis bank, or whether the
selection of such a committee should
be referred to a meeting of the mem
Der. banks in each state. The Wis
consin delegation was divided upon
this proposition and f. w. Hum
phrey, Shawano, who was selected to
name members from Wisconsin, said
he would request a meeting of all
member banks in Wisconsin to select
Wisconsin members on the committee
of thirty. This meeting bas been
called at Oshkosh next Wednesday,
when all Wisconsin bankers win hear
the report on this meeting. Tele-
grams were sent TO Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo TO get rulings on
disputed points in the reserve bank
law. C. G. Kruger of the First
National bank of this city was in at
Tendance.

DON'T FEED SNAKES TO BABIES

"Smash the bottle to Smithers, the
divil'S in i'm" ."-Tennyson.
If there remains long hose nursing
bottle in the state of Wisconsin, it
should be smashed to bits. The tube
of such a bottle IS dangerous as a
snake. Indeed, more deaths have
been caused by filthy nursing bottles
than have been by snakes bites.
Milwaukee has on ordinance for
bidding their sale. Offering an old
time nursing bottle to baby, in view
of our present knowledge of the
danger, IS morally little short OF
murder. For those who know, there
is no excuse for permitting further
use by ignorant mothers.
The danger III the long nursing
bottle hose is that it is almost certain
to contain germs. The only means of
cleansing it is by prolonged boiling
Inasmuch as the only excuse for ever
having used such bottles is saving
time in feeding infants, it is certain
that time will not be given to sterili-
Zation.
Babies bottles should be of the
large neck variety that can be
thoroughly cleaned. After washing
they should be boiled. The rubber
nipples should be washed and boiled
after each use. They can then be
conveniently kept in glass of borlc
acid solution. SUCH a solution is
made by adding to a given quantity
of water as many boric acid crystals
as can be dissolved. This is about
five teaspoonsfuH 20 pint of water.
Before using the nipple it is to be
thoroughly rinsed in boiled water to
remove the bOric acid solution.
All utensils used in mixing the
baby's milk should be boiled after
washing. Thee precautions take a
little time. They save much in
doctors bills. sickness, nursing and
fnneral expense. BY the way, all
lorinking water given to babies is
raade safe by boiling. It's "A splendid
form of life Insurance against intes-

BASEBALL NOTES.

Next week the baseball season in
Wisconsin cities will be opened. On
the seventh of May the Wisconsin
Illinois league will usher in the sea-
son of 1914. Great expectations are
being manifested in advance by every
manager all of whom make the declar-
alton that their team will capture
the pennant in the Wisconsin-Illi-
nois league for this year, but it won't
be very long before their hopes or
declarations will either be torn down
or upheld. The local manager, Bub-
ser, has been working continuously
trying to strengthen p nnmber OF
positions. There will not be very
large number of the players who
have played in a lumberjack uniform
before on the team this year, though
there viii be few, if they are not
beaten out, among whom are the fol-
lowing: Chief Williams, Lundine,
Carol and it is likely that Kelly will
be back, though there had ought to be
change for the better on the first
sack. There are large number of
players who are trying to make the
team and two squads have been
formed playing against each other
every day. The regular team is COM
posed of those coming back from last
year and number of others while
the yannigan team is made up of re-
cruitS. Promising men are practic-
ing and from the material with which
to make up a team Bubser had ought
to succeed in organizing a pennant-

IMPORTANT CONVENTION
To Be Held lin Wausau on the 5th and 9th Days of
May, Next Tuesday and Wednesday

On Tuesday and Wednesday next
there will be held in this city, con-
vention which will be of great i'm
portance TO the people of northern
Wisconsin in general, and our citi-
zens especially should take more than
an ordinary interest in the meeting.
A letter sent out by w. H. Webb of
superior, chairman of the committee
on permanent organization, gives in
detail the objects of the convention,
viz:
On May 5th and 5th, 1914, a conven-
tion will be held in the city of Wausau
Wis, for the purpose of psrfecting the
organization of the Northern Wiscon-
sin Development Association. The
purposes of this organization, asstated
in its proposed constitution are: sThe
inducing of immigration, to Northern
Wisconsin and the advancement of
all the material, social and education
al interests of its people" The latter
clause, rather than the former, is the
key note to what this organization
hopes to accomplish. There are about
100000, acres of good undeveloped
agricultural lands in Northern Wis
consin. To devise the best means of
bringing these lands under cultivation
at the earliest possible date, and
thereby adding at least billion dol
lars to the permanent wealth of the
State, is problem worthy of the best
thought and effort of our citizens and
it is to aid in the solution of this
problem, and to secure a united work
ing force for the welfare of the
whole and every part of Northern
Wisconsin that this association is be-
ing formed. There are many problems
peculiar to Northern Wisconsin which
we believe can only be solved by the
united effort of band of men scat
tered throughout the entire northern
half of the state who are actuated by
some motive larger than simply the
selling of lands. Too many settlers
