SENATOR HITS At
ADMINISTRATION
LODGE CRlTlclSEs MEXICAN
POLICY AND SAYS ARMY
SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED.

Boston, Nov. 20.-Criticism of the
attitude In connec-
tion with the recent firing on the boat
from the cruiser Tennessee in Tur-
kish waters, and with the Tampico in
cident in the Mexican troubles was
made last night by United States Sen
ator Henry Cabot Lodge. Speaking
before the Middlesex club, republi-
can organization, the senator said:
''The administration is content to
have it appear that the Tennessee
was fred on to give warning of mines,
but you all know what happened at
Tampico. Then within three days
American sailors were in Mexican
waters and shedding their blood. And
now-now the incident of the salute
seems to have been forgotten. And
the flag was never saluted.
"All our efforts should have been
devoted to bringing about pacitica-
tion in Mexico instead of getting HUI
erta out of Office. As 1t is now, Mex
leo is in the throes of revolution and
the two pets Of this administration,
Carranza and Villa, are at each 9th
er's throats."
"The party in power should remem-
ber," Mr.. Lodge added, that these
are perilous times. 1t should inquire
into the state Of our defense. The
president says this is an academic
question This Is fighting world
a fighting age. Let us find out the
condition OF our army and our navy
and the state of our preparedness. Let
those findings be made known to the
people and then let the people say
whether the money shall be diverted
from building southern postoffices to
Our defenseS"

London, Nov. 20.-Great Britain to-

ECHO FROM ICEBERG
PREVENTS COLLISION
Experiment by Captain Proves
InminenCe Of Danger.

New York, June 23.-Captain Weeks
Of the British freighter Isle of Null,
which has just arrived in port from
Lisbon, told how an echo saved his
ship from collision with an iceberg.
Just after midnight June 16, in
foggy weather off the Newfoundland
banks, Captain Weeks sounded the
usual five-second blast on the fog
horn and thought he heard another
steamer reply. He stopped his ship
and after waiting a minute he blew
again This time he caught a signal
from starboard and apparently very
close.
Realizing that it must be either the
whistle of another steamer he had
heard or the echo of his own blast
thrown back by a big iceberg Cap.
tain Weeks sounded six alternate
long and short blasts, which were re-
turned just as he gave them. This
decided him to steer at once to the
southwark to avoid hitting big ice

UNITED STATES
HAS new PLAN
Huerta and Rebel ENJOYS
Invited to Confer.
FEDERALS ARE WILLING
Appeal Declares That Mexican Fac
tons Must Save Their Country From
Further Spoilation and BIoodshed
by Each Making Concessions.

Niagara Falls, Ont, June 23.-The
United States government has invit-
ed representatives of General Car
rama and General Huerta to meet at
an informal conference here with the
hope of bringing about the pacification
of Mexico.
The Huerta delegates informed the
American delegates through the
mediators that they were willing to
deal with the Constitutionalists in
this way.
The appeal, which is said to have
influenced both factions, is that the
Mexicans themselves must save their
country from further spoilation and
bloodshed by each making certain
sacrifices, but neither side will be
asked to abandon the principles for
which they have been contending. 1t
will be several days before the Con-
stitutionalist delegates can arrive.
In the meantime the mediators and
Huerta and American delegates will
continue their discussion of other
points in the general peace plan.
The determination seems to be to
leave the question of a provisional
president to the two Mexican factions
to decide.
The advantage of the new plan, it is
said, is that the conferences will be
continued while the situation in
Northern Mexico is developing.
Fernando Iglesias Calderon, leader
of the Liberal party in Mexico, is un
derstood to be the head of the delega
tion appointed by CarranZa to attend
the informal conferences here.
The Huerta delegates are understood
to have consulted their government
and obtained permission to deal with
the Constitutionalists.

United States Supreme Court Upholds
Contentious of Transcontinental
Carriers Regarding Oil Tracts-Too
Late to Attack Under Only Method
Held to Be Proper.
Washington, June 22-Transcon-
tinental railways won their fight for
title to some 100000, 900 worth of
oil lands when the supreme court
held void the clause in the patents
making the land revert to the gov
ernment if found to contain minerals.
The court held that the patents
were irregular, but that they could
not be attacked collaterally-b other
claimants-but could be set aside
only by direct attack by the govern
ment.
Justice Vandevanter, for the court,
incidentally emphasized the claim
that the governments time in which
it could attack the patents had ex-
pired in 1900 or 1901.
In every case before this court" I"
said Justice Vandevanter, I'VE have
held that where the laws say that
only mineral or homestead lands are
to be granted by the land officials the
tanning whether that land came with
in the law and that they could not
perform their duty by inserting ex-
ceptions that the land should not pass
if found later not to be within the
law"
Roads Contention Upheld.
This was precisely the contention
of the attorneys for the railroads.
Justice Vandevanter pointed out
that all the land patents granted to
railroads since 1866 continued a
clause declaring the land should not
pass from the government If later it
| was found to contain minerals.
Let us see what this would mean
| in the case of the Northern Pacific,
| said he. THE Northern Pacific got
every alternate section of land in a
forty-mile wide strip from Duluth to
| the Pacific. Should these clauses be
held valid the question would arise
| as to whether those who long ago
purchased from the railroad and
created farms, ranches and towns
| upon them had any rights"
The company contended that evi-
dence could not be presented at this
| day to show the lands were mineral
and that the issuance of the patents
was conclusive proof that they were
! not.
| Justice Vandevanter held that a
| general statute made it the duty OF
| the secretary of the interior to In
quire whether the lands were of the
class for which a patent could be
| issued.

that Generals CarranZa and Villa will

NO ANNOUNCEMENT.
The ENJOYS are not ready to make
any announcement However, conjec-
ture took a wide range as to the va
rious plans they are likely to consider.
One was that at the outset both sides
might be asked to temporarily sus-
pend aggressive military action. While
this would not suspend ordinary mill
tary or naval preparations, yet 1t would
hold in allegiance any decisive for
ward movement. While the ENJOYS
would make no comment upon this
report, it was regarded as a reason
able preliminary step and one which
probably would receive their atten-
ton. The report also persisted that
one Of the proposals likely to be con-
sidered was for a provisional commits
sion form of government in Mexico,
but this also the ENJOYS treated as one
OF the many of the conjectural ideas,
being advanced in their study Of The
entire field
AS a result of the conferences held
and Suarez with Secretary Bryan last
night, there is little doubt ths medf-
ators understand pretty clearly the
tentative viewpoint of the United
States. But it is understood that
neither side has as yet submitted any
written final statement or what they
would or would not acede to, the
way being left clear to canvas each
side and seek gradually to bring tA9m
nearer together, rather than to de-
velop definite points Of disagreement.
The morning session was expected to
last until / o'clock when an afternoon
session and a night session at $50
