Serious Differences of Opinion
Have Arisen at Niagara
Falls Conference.
REBELS CLOSE To VERA CRUZ
Gen. AguiIar Reported to Be Driving
FederaIs TOWARD American Lines
Funston Says Railroad Is
Menaced.

Niagara Falls, Ont.-Differences
of opinion so serious that they i'm
peril the continuance of the confer
ences here have developed between
the American delegates and the me-
diation plenipotentiaries. On two vi
tai points there is flat disagreement.
First, the mediators, representing
presumably the viewpoint of the Mex
lean delegates, are insisting that the
provisional president of Mexico shall
be a neutral who shall not have been
an active partisan in the Constitu-
tionalist cause.
The American delegates have en-
phatically stated that unless the
choice falls upon a man of distinct
Constitutionalist sympathies, not nee
essariIy a military chief or leader,
but one who would command their
confidence, there can be no hope Of
Constitutionalist acceptance of any
peace program adopted here.
Secondly, the United States gov
eminent is determined that the meth
cd of transition from the present re-
gime to the new government shall
not be through the appointment by
General Huerta as minister of for
eign affairs of the man agreed upon
for provisional president. To permit
him to exercise the constitutional
function of naming his successor, &C
cording to the American viewpoint,
would be equivalent to recognition
of the Huerta government.
Battle Near Vera Cruz.
Torreon, Mexico.-The warless war
correspondents with the United
States forces at Vera Cruz may have
a chance to see a little war even if
not to take part in it. Official adj
vices through Saltillo to the military
headquarters here report that an en-
gagement is taking place between
Constitutionalists and federals in
Vera Cruz state and within twenty
miles of the American outposts. Fed
erals are reported to have been re-
to take refuge there.
Rebels Menace Railroad.
Washington-Rail communica-
ton between the City of Mexico and
Vera Cruz is menaced by Constitu-
tionalist forces, Brigadier General
Funston has reported to the war d.

CUTS STATE BOARD POWERS
Supreme Court Declares that Justice
in Railroad Rates Can't Stop at
State Lines.

Washington.-That Congress and
the Interstate Commerce Commission
as it's agent have authority to require
state railway commissions to change
rates wholly within a state, but which
incidentally affect interstate rates,
was decided by the supreme court in
the Shreveport rate case.
The supreme court followed the
opinion of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, handed down March "a,
1912, which established the far reach
ing principle that a railroad must so
adjust it's rates that justice will be
done between communities regardless
of state lines. If railroad makes a
low rate upon traffic wholly within a
state, even when forced to do so by
a state commission, it must accord
the same rate to interstate traffic
moving under substantially similar
conditions.

HOLDS UP APPOINTMENTS
Several Days Will Probably Elapse
Before Reserve Bank Board
is Filled.

Washington.-It was announced at
the White House that it probably
would be several days before the Pres
ident and the Secretary of the Treas
ury are ready to make known the
names of the two additional members
of the federal reserve board.
1t now seems assured that E. C.
Simmons of st. Louis will be one of
the members, but the appointment of
Charles S. Hamlin, assistant secre-
tary of the treasury, who had been
under consideration, does not seem to
be likely. 1t generally is believed that
a man will be named who has not yet
been suggested publicly in connection
with the board.

AGAINST WoMEN'S POCKETS
New York Newspaper Gives Eight
Reasons for Its Opposition to
Proposed Move

1. Because pockets are not a natural
right
2. Because the great majority of
women do not want pockets. If they
did. they would have them.
s. Because whenever women have
had pockets they have not used them
4. Because women are expected to
carry enough things as 1t is without
the additional burden of pockets.
s. Because it would make dissension
between husband and wife as to whose
pockets were to be filed.
6. Because it would destroy mans
chivalry toward woman If he did not
have to carry all her things in his
pockets.
Z. Because men are men and women
the women We must not fly In the
face of nature
8. Because pockets have been used
by men to carry tobacco, pipes. whisky
TASKS, chewing gum and compromis-
ing letters. We see no reason to sup
pose that women would use them
more wisely.-New York Tribune

ENGLAND AROUSED
British Public Resents Recent
Outrageous Tactics of
Suffragettes.
LET THEM DE- is CRY NOW
All Classes of Citizens express Bitter
Feeling Against Hunger Strik-
ing MiIitants.

London.-'Let them die is becom-
ing a rather popular slogan in connec-
ton with the hunger striking suffra-
gettes since the public has become
SO profoundly resentful of the actions
of the militant women.
1t was reported that the govern
ment had decided to take step in
this direction by introducing fegisla-
ton to indemnify the prison autLori-
ties against the consequences of al
lowing suffragettes to starve them
selves to death while in prison.
The Evening Standard interviewed
many noted persons, including clergy
men, on the subject and all of the
latter who are quoted by the newspa-
pers express themselves in favor of
the proposal.
Father Bernard Vaughan, brother of
the late Cardinal Vaughan, replied:
There would be nothing ethically
wrong in letting them die. Let them
start at once and make up for lost
time"
Rev. Arthur Waldron, vicar of ST.
Matthews, Brixton, said:
IF the women refuse food they
should be allowed to die"
Rev Richard Free, vicar of St.
Clements, Fulham, replied:

have advocated it for many
months
Public anger in connection with
the suffragettes' outrages is expressed
daily with more vehemence through
out Great Britain. Reports from the
provinces show that suffragette meet
ings were generally broken up and
the women threatened with violence.
At Ilford, some miles east of Lon
don, the speakers were pelted with
tomatoes and other missiles and an
unsuccessful attempt was made by the
crowd under the leadership of wom-
an to upset the wagon from which
the suffragettes were speaking.
The guardians of ancient structures
in all parts of the country have adopt
ed the most stringent precautions to
protect the buildings against the van
dalism of the suffragettes. Guns and
dogs have been requisitioned for this
service.
