VILLA "CUSSES OUT
DICTATOR BY WIRE
Begs Huerta Not to Leave as He
Will Be There Soon and
Wants to See Him.

Vera Cruz. June S.-President Huerta
Is now liz daily communication with
Gen. Francisco Villa, according to a
report brought here by a refugee. but
the character of their communication
is somewhat unconventional,
General Villa, according to the re-
port sent one of his t~elegrapherS with
in the federals mes. He tapped a Wire
and sent to Huerta y message in which
Villa called his enemy unpleasant
names and urged him not to hasten his
departure from the capital as Villa was
anxious to see him before he left Villa
requested Huerta to wait, saying he
soon you'd be in the capital.
President Huerta. according to the
story, approaching the grim humor of
the situation, gave orders that any SIM
liar messages should not be withheld
but delivered to him Immediately.
Since this order was issued Villa, ac-
cording to the refugees, has not dis
appointed Huerta one day. Though
the wording of his messages are always
different each message is said to be
more vi~tuperative than the ether. The
DAHL receipt of these messages is said
to have become something of a joke at
the national palace.

SENATORS SHELVE
ANTITRUST BILLS
PASSED BY HOUSE

WASHINGTON, June S.-The Senate in
terstate commerce committee today
voted to report out only the trade com
mission measure of the trust bllls.
The action was construed by many as
an indication of limitation of the ad-
ministration's program at the present
session of congress-. The trade COM
mission. railroad securities, and anti
trust bills all passed the House last
night.
There was no record vote. In a gen
eral discussion some senators opposed
the move and others declared them
selves opposed even to the bill at the
present time. Chairman Newlands,
said the committee later might take up
supplemental legislation and issued
this statement:
The committee determined today to
segregate the trade commission from
the supplemental legislation and au-
thorized me to present an amendment
in the nature of a substitute for my
original bill for a trade commission
The committee concluded to name the
trade commission the federal trade
trade commission, in order to clearly
distinguish it from the Interstate Com
merce commission.
Need Not Fear, He Says.
THE fear expressed that this bill

of the $50, 600 corporations of the coun5
try is groundless. This power is sub
stantially the same as is now possessed
by the bureau of corporations, and
certainly the power of that bureau
have not been exercised in such a way
as to annoy the honest business of the
country.
The committee will continue it's
consideration of supplemental legisla-
ton regarding interlocking director
ates, holding companies, railway secur-
tiles, ETC., and its action may be on the
line of amendments to the trade COM
mission bill or of separate legislation.
Some administration senators de-
clared the committees action did not
~foreshadow a cErtailment of the trust
program at his session. Those in
clined to that view point out that the
committeee's action came after con-
ferences of some of the members with
the president and expressed the pres
sure for an adjournment before the fall

CROWD BOOES VERDICT
AGAINST JIMMY CLABBY

Sydney. N. w. s. June Skinny
Clabby, the Indian middleweight, was
given the worst of an unpopular de-
decision here last night in a 2O-round
boxing match with Jeff Smith, a
Philadelphia fighter who has been APP
pearing in Australia several years. So
little did the crowd like the referees
judgment, that the decision brought
on a riot. The police had difficulty in
controlling the audience and the
referee was Kissed and bcoed.
This was Clabby's first fight since
coming here from San Francisco, and
he made a favorable impression. The
opinion generally expressed by sport
writer's and experts at boxing who at
tended the fight was that Clabby had
been treated UNFAIRLY.

committee with Instructions to report
the Murdoch bill as a substitute. This
was rejected, ISL to 10, and the pending
bill was passed without 8 roll cali.

Washington. d. C. June 6-Carranza's
the last note of the South American en-
voys until he reached Saltillos from
Durango confirmed the belief Of adj
ministration officials today that the
constltutionalist's final attitude toward
entering the Niagara conference would
not be known for three or four days.
Optimism expressed at Niagara Falls
h Carranza would decide to take part
IN the proceedings was reflected here
The statement of Rafael Zubaran, the
ceonstitationalists' chief representative
In Washington, attracted widespread
attention.
Affairs are getting BETTER" he said,
when asked directly as to the likelihood
Of Carranza's participation In the con-
terence. He did not expect however,
to receive an answer from his chief
before late Saturday or Sunday.
The opinions Of those surrounding
Carranza regarding the three cornered
conferences at Niagara Falls was re-
Iiected once more in a semi-of-
flc1al statements sent to the Associated
Press from Durango.
The message follows:
.tfamlet with Hamlet LETT out" is the
way many of the constitutionalists
leaders expressed themselves today re-
garding the conferences at Niagara
Falls. The assurance with which the
- IL 11cNSU OGS-n
patches received here. to havey APP
preached the formation OF a new plan
for the solution in Mexico is
by these leaders as evidence Of mis-
on the part OF at least
some of the parties to the conference
as TO conditions in Mexico.
That a plan can be found to settle
interior affairs in Mexico without Inc
pNticipation Of the constitutionalists
Is reaarded by them as impossible.
They point out that the only narty d.
rectly interested in Mexico which has
been represented in the formation Of
the Niagara Falls plans has been that
OF Huerta. This party, defeated by the
constitutionafists at every point. thew
say. Is In the throes of dissolution and
IS IN no condition to fulfill any pledges
that might be made. The constitu-
tionalists have declared repeatedly that
their differences and the Huerta party
were not possible of mediation, and
mat the sole solution of the internal
difficulties of the country was the elirnf-
nation of Huerta and his party from
politics.
The constitutionalists emphasize the
fact that they will recognize only e.
government established under the plan
of Guadalupe at the triumph of the
revolution. BY this time the COM
mander In chief Of the constitutional
list party will be provisional president
of Mexico while elections are being
verified and constitutionalist order is
restored to the country: In a word. the
constftutionalists think 1t would he
well for the commission to acuuaint
themselves with the facts before com
hitting themselves to q program which
there Is no possibility Of their carrying
out"
