Wilson Insists
On Pressing His
Anti Trust Bills

Washington, d. c., June Is.
President Wilson made the
direct charge today that senti-
ment in favor Of the post
ponement of the administra-
tion legislative program
against the trusts was the re-
suit OF a campaign by certain
interests and intimated that
it was the cause of the "psy-
Geological business depres-
sion" of which he recently
spoke.
In support of the presidents
view, copies of letters and tele-
grams circulated among busi-
ness men calling for an ad-
journment of congress without
completion of the trust bills,
praying for the freight rate
increase being asked by the
railroads of the interstate
commerce commission and call
ing for a halt of the cat
tacks on business" were made
public at the white house.
President Wilson made it
clear to his callers that the
campaign, If such it may be
called, would have no effect up
on him, and that 1t was his
plan to push the trust program
through the senate with the
aid Of all means at his COM
mand. He expressed the view
that business was as good, il
2 not better now than while
ago, and that It would be less
harmful to the business Of the
country to have the trust legis-
lation completed than to be
confronted with a period Of un-
certainty which would accom-
pany delay.

Delegations to Mediation
Convention Discussing
/ Man For Presidency
MEXICANS IN DENIAL
OF RUMORED BREAK
Take Exception to Story
Saying They Wanted

Niagara Falls, Ont, June 15.-The
American delegates, mediators and
Mexican delegates resumed their in
formal conferences today on the per-
Sonnel and form of the new provision
al government of Mexico More names
were discussed but the American dele
gates have not yet obtained from the
constitutionalists complete list OF
those persons who would be acceptable
to them.
The publication in some newspapers
of charges of bad faith against the
American government for It's espousal
at this junture Of constitutionalist
provisional president brought no form
al comment from the American dele
gates. 1t is known, however, that the
Americans informed the mediators in
the very first conference several weeks
ago of their intention to favor a con-
stitutionalist in order to pacify the big
revolutionary army which would cease
fighting only on such a condition.
Emelio Rabasa, head of the Mexican
delegation, authorized the statement
that no charges of bad faith against
the United States had been made by
the Mexican delegates at any time. He
insisted that the Mexican delegates
had not asked for permission to with
draw and that the negotiations had not
reached such a stage. He added that
until the American plan was submit
ted in writing last week, the Mexican
delegates had not intimation of the
desire of the United States that aeon
stitutionalist be chosen.
1t was suggested that the mediators
for diplomatic reason might have with

point of view In the hope Of persuad-
ing the United States to make conces-
sions as the negotiations developed.
All sides agree that on the selection
of a provisional president the success
or failure of mediation depends.

The assault which started at five

Today's attack by the insurgents

residents of the capital, where official
statements had been published declar-

the rule of Prince William had been
utterly defeated by the government
forces few days ago. 1t was assert
ed that the remnant Of the rebel forces
