THROWN OFF DRIVERS SEAT.
Natalie Cardini Got Gashed Up To-day
When Horse Stumbled

Just before the whistle blew at noon
to-day, Natalie Cardini was driving down
Reckley street hill in one of the Co
operative stores delivery teams. The
incline at that point is none too gradual
for safety's purposes and when the de-
livery horse began to gallop. Mr.. Cardini
drew him to tighter rein. But the
steed was hungry for his portion of oats
at the stable on Granite street and
would not be stayed. Halfway down
the hill he stumbled and fell, throwing
the driver to the ground. Pedestrians
stopped the horse and removed Cardini
Ito shady plot by the side OF the high
way. DIR. w. E. Lazell was called and
the injured man was removed to his
home on Granite street. There the doc
tor treated him for an ugly scalp wound
ithat measured three inches in length, a
painful cash on the left shin bone and
bruise on the back Cardini is not
seriously hurt but someone else will have
to take his delivery route for few days.
The wagon was not badly damaged and
the horse escaped unscathed.

COMPULSION FROM Nj
AGARA FALLS HINTED
Huerta's Fate Now Believed
to Rest Wholly with Medi-
at0rs and His Representa-
tiyes at Conference Now
Being Held by the South
American Powers

Washington, D. c., June s.-Huerta
has decided after all not to blockade
Tampco and force the hand of the
United States, with the possibility of
disrupting the mediation proceedings at
Niagara Falls. Spanish Ambassador Ri
ano notified Secretary Bryan officially
to that effect to-day.
Huertas action, it was stated, was in
spired by sincere desire not to leopard
ize the success of mediation.
In diplomatic circles the action was
regarded as conclusive evidence that he
has placed the fate of his government
and the settlement of the Mexican prob
lem fully in the hands of the mediators
and his representatives. There are
broad intlmatons here that the influ-
ence which caused Huerta to back down
had gone all the way from Niagara
Falls.
The Mexican delegates in a statement
this afternoon said: Shortly after the
Antila incident began we addressed a
note to the mediation plenipotentiaries
as the incident might have consequences
affecting the negotiations. The Mexican
delegation also informed its government
of the step taken on the following day,
but through one of the frequent and in
explicable delays, to which cables to
Mexico are now exposed, the message
was retarded Meanwhile, the govern
ment decreed the blockade of Tampico
which was intended only to prevent
landing war material. When the gov
ernment received the message it re-
scinded the blockade order"

Traction Company Plans to
Increase Interurban Rate
from Ten Cents
HALFWAY FARE
SET AT SIX CENTS
Workmen's Tickets Raised
One Cent Over the
Former Rate

Announcement was made to-day by
Vice President H. T. Sands of the Barre
g. Montpelier Traction g. Power Co. of
the intention of that company to in
crease all fares on the line other than
school children, making the rate from
Barre to Montpelier and vice versa l2
cents, instead of 10, or the halfway
fare six instead of five cents. At the
same time the special rate ticket for
workingmen was fixed at three and one
half cents instead of two and one half,
as it has been for some time. School
childrens tickets are used almost ex-
clusively in Montpelier or its immedi-
ate vicinity.
July was the date set as the time
on which the proposed rates should be-
come operative. The complete proposed
schedule would make the rates as fol-
lows:
Barre to Montpelier and vice versa S0.l2
Halfway fare Observation-Disclosures. .06
School children's tickets $50 rides 200
Workmen's tickets (good on certain
trips, morning, noon and night;
oo rldesl .........-.... l.fo
Mr.. Sands stated that this action was
taken as the only means available to
the company for providing for the de-
tieiencv in the company's revenue.
"The operating expenses for the cur.
rent year" he said, exceeds by several
thousand dollars the total receipts, with
out setting aside any money TO provide
for the depreciation of the property
which is going on all the time. As a
matter of fact it has never been possible
for the company to make provisions for
depreciation, but this year it faces
large deficit on account of increases in
operating expenses resulting from the
recent advances in taxes, wages and the
necessity of making extensive repairs to
the property itself.
"The company's franchises provide for
maximum fare of five cents, but the
experience of the company during the
operation Of the road has shown an in
crease in the cost of operation far be-
yond what could have been contemplat-
ed by either the public or the company
when these franchises were issued. The
company therefore feels assured that the
people of the communities which it serves
do not desire it to continue rendering
service at an actual loss"
Mr.. Sands further stated that the
would run a series OF adver
tisements addressed to the public in the
local papers, giving facts and figures
bearing upon the fare question and
showing the necessity of the company's
action. The first of these advertise
ments is published on another page of
this issue.
