many were the hearts that went pit

honeymoon and wealth and travel
were made to float before the imagi-

future was revealed.
The songs and the spook "ring-a-
rounds on the lawn, under the full
moon and by the big bonfire, as
nearly a hundred bright boys and
girls sang Go forth and face your
lover" was enough to make bald
heads grow hair again, and the
wrinkles of age chase themselves
into hiding.
Thus the hours whiled away till
near midnight, when an elegant
luncheon was enjoyed and after
adieus, the party left, voting the oc.

ever.

THE DOVE OF PEACE
IS BUSY IN MEXICO
LOWERING WAR CLOUDS MAY
PASS FROM NATIONS SKIES
IN NEAR FUTURE.
POSSIBLE MEDIATION SOON
Tenseness Over Mexican Trouble is
AIleviated by Late Developments
Of Peacemakers. .

Washington.-The %tenseness Of the
Mexican situation was distinctly re-
lieyed when the representatives Of Ar
gentine, Brazil and Chile, supported
by pressure from all Latin-America
and from foremost powers of Europe
concentrated their efforts toward a
pacific adjustment Of the crisis.
The success of the first steps to-
ward meditation-the prompt accep-
lance by the United States and the
announcement of the Epnaish ambas-
sador that Huerta had accepted the
tender of good offices-produced a
feeling Of distinct hope which was re-
lected not only In administration
quarters, but In Congress where war
talk" gave way to a spirit Of concih-
alton.
Throughout the day the three
South American ENJOYS who have
undertaken the task of mediation held
frequent conferences to arrange
the preliminaries Of procedure. Pend

lance by General Huerta, no proposals
will be submitted to either the United
States or the Huerta government. 1t
also has been made plain that no
conditions from either party as to
the terms that will be acceptable as
yet has been placed formally before
the Intermediates.
The president and Secretary Bryan
were assured through two separate
diplomatic sources that Huerta was
ready to accept the tender Of good Of
fees and was drafting a formal &C.
ceptance. Pressure from Germany,
Great Britain AID France advising
Huerta to accept the first steps to-
ward mediation and the approving at
titude of Latin-American countries to
the settlement Of the controversy by
Pan-American diplomacy, emphasized
the worldwide influences which are
working to bring about peace.

KIDNAPER IS CONVICTED
WALTERS Is CONVICTED OF KID
MAPPING FlvE-YEAR-OLD
ROBERT DUNBAR. .r,.
He Is Found Guilty Without Capital
Observation-Disclosures to Be
Taken.

Opelousas, La.--"Guilty, without
capital punishment" was the verdict
returned by the jury in the district
court trial of w. C. Walters, timer
ant tinker, charged with kidnapping
five-year.old Robert Dunbar. Under
the laws of Louisiana the verdict is
equivalent. to life Imprisonment.
The verdict legally determines the
identity of the boy taken from Walters
at the time Of his arrest and legally
clears a mystery that presented many
unusual phases, including tse 'npility
Of a mother to identity her W son.
It means that the youth claimed as
their son will remain in the home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. C. P. Dunbar here, where
he has been since the arrest OF Wal
tiers more than a year ago, and that
Julia Anderson, now Ill in a New Or
leans hospital, was mistaken when she
testified at the trial that the oby was
her SON..
A single peal from the courthouse
bell announced to the populace Of Ope-
lousas late in the afternoon that the
jury had reached a verdict after de-
~liberating since eleven o'clock in the
morning, at which time Judge PaVy
had concluded the delivery of his
charge and the jury had retired. The
day had been one of intense excite
ment. Sheriff Swords had placed guns
in the parish jail in order to be pre-
pared for any emergency.
Walters was arrested April 20, 1913,
nearly eight months after Robert Dun
bar disappeared from a fishing camp
on the banks of Lake Swayze. At the
time Of his arrest he was accompanied
by a boy who Mr.. and Mrs. c.. P. Dun
bar had identified as their lost child,
but who Walters claimed vas Bruce
Anderson, son of Julia Anderson.

ALL MEXICO UNDER
PLAN Of MEDIATION
cARRANZA AccEDEs TO RE-
QUEST OF INTERMEDIATES
70 ACCEPT MEDIATIoN.
WILL STOP FIGHTING NOW
United States and Huerta Will Agree
to Armistice and Carranza Is Ex-
pected TO Do So.

Washingotn.-The scope OF media
ton plans for the settlement Of the
Mexican crisis was suddenly broaden
ed so as to include the entire range
Of Mexican affairs, not alone the criti-
ical issue between the United States
and the Huerta regime, but also the
conflict between the elements of
Northern and Southern Mexico which
have rent the republic for many
months.
This signal enlargement Of the med
iation program followed the receipt
late in the day of a formal acceptance
by General Carranza, chief Of the Con-
st%itutionalists Of the principle Of me-
diation, as proposed by the ambassa-
dor from Brazil and the ministers
from Argentina and Chile.
Already the United States and Gen.
eral Huerta had formally accepted the
good offices Of these South American
ENJOYS and now as a further step,
General Carranza has been brought
into the deliberations so as to draw
every element and faction within the
range Of any settlement which may be
attained.
Earlier in the day the mediators
made another decisive nov in asking
the United States and General Huerta
to agree to an armistice by which all
aggressive military movements would
be suspended pending the outcome
of the negotiations. The mediators
confidently expect both sides to accept
the armistice proposal. A separate
proposal for an armistice as between
Huerta and Carranza also will De
made, and with its acceptance all OF
the warning elements throughout
Mexico as we'll as the American
forces would maintain a military
status quo. The American govern
ment in it's formal reply to the arms
tice proposal will 'stipulate expressly
that any untoward act toward Ameri-
cans will be regarded as an nfraction
of the armistice.

MINERS BATTLE
IN COLORADO
AT THE FORBES CAMP, THE
STRIKERS BURNED ALL
THE BUILDINGS.
NINE PERSONS ATE KILLED
Major Lester Shot While Wearing the
Red Cross Emblem and Caring
for q Wounded Comrade.

Denver, Coi.-Colorado's seven
months industrial conflict has claim
ed another toll of nine lives. This
was the verified record, divided as fol-
lows:
At Forbes, seven mine guards and
one striker dead, with two other strik-
ers believed to have been killed.
At Walsenburg, one officer Of the
militia hospital corps killed, n off,
Ger and two enlisted men wounded.
The Forbes camp was a scene OF
d%esolation, virtually all the mine
buildings having been destroyed by
fire. Here it was the work Of only a
few fleeting hours. 1t was about $3.50
a. m. when the strikers opened their
attack in force. With the women and
children of the camp barricaded in the
mine slope, the guards responded
spiritedly.
After the firing had ceased the
camps .assailants disappeared as mys,
teriously as they came, some toward
Trinidad and, others over the hills in
the direction Of Berwind and Ia
basco.
Fighting at Walsenburg between
strikers, militia and mine guards, last
ed five hours. Major P. P. Lester OF
the hospital corps met his death, shot
through the left breast while dressing
the wounds of a comrade within leo
yards of the strikers position. Firing
ceased shortly after three o'clock.
With two troops Of United States
cavalry in the Fremont county fields
and citizen volunteers and militia on
guard in Boulder county, state officials
prepared for sudden outbreaks in Las
Animas and Huerfano counties, where
federal troops were not expected to
arrive before a day or two. The militia
detachment relieved by federal SOL
diers in Fremont county was fastening
to Colonel Verdeckberg's assistance
at Walsenburg.
