constltutionalists Send Representative.
Washington, May 22.-The constitu-
tionalists are preparing to send rep
resentative to Niagara Falls to confer
with the South American mediators
who are endeavoring to settle the Mex
lean problem. This will be done with
the distinct understanding that the
representative Is to give information
as to General Carranza's purposes,
without committing the constitution
Rlists to any plan for the pacification
of Mexico that the mediators may de-
ternine upon.
The question OF taking this step has
been the subject of several informal
conferences between representatives of
the constitutionalists and the Wash
Ington administration recently and it
Is expected that General Carranza has
given his consent.
It was reported last night on appar-
entity reliable authority that another
invitation may be sent to Carranza by
the mediators to take formal part in
the mediation proceedings.
Government officials here have
urged that the presence of a represent
ative of the constitutionalists would
greatly assist in bringing about a So
luton of the Mexican question. Secre-
tary Bryan, John Lind and Charles A.
Douglas. an attorney for the constitu-
tionalists, held conference late yes
terday and last night Lind met Senor
Urquidi, the constitutionalist conf
Dental agent here. Later Senior Zu-
baran. member of the Carranza cab

Arguments Presented by

State of Idaho.

The fate Of the public utilities COM

Of the supreme court today following
argument on the writ of review asked
for by the Idaho Power & Light COM
pany and the Beaver River Power COM
pany, barred from the Twin Falls and
Pocatello fields, respectively. Direct
attack was made on the right of the
public utilities commission to exist,
its power to prevent competition, its
alleged infringement of the jurisdiction
and functions of the courts, its arbi-
trary power to legislate as charged, by
counsel for the corporations appearing
as plaintiff, Jess B. Hawley of the law
firm OF Hawley, Puekett & Hawley.
The commission was defended by Cap
tain E. G. Davis, assistant attorney
general counsel for the commission,
and S. H. Hays, counsel for the Great
Shoshone & Twin Falls Water Power
company.

been argued and presented to the su-
preme court of this state. The fact
that the commission is given extensive

What Facts Are.
Briefly the facts that brought this
issue to the attention of the supreme
court are as follows: The Idaho Power
& Light company. one of the larger
electric power corporations of this
state. started to extend Its power lines
into the county and the city of Twin
Falls. 1t had secured a franchise from
the city of Twin Falls to make use
of It's streets and alleys. At this time
the Great Shoshone & Twin Falls
Water Power company, was as it is
now in control of that field and had
furnished electricity for lighting
power and heating purposes to con-
