NIAGARA FALLS. Ontario June i2.-The
wheels OF the mediation conference are
turning fast since the three South Amer 4
icar diplomats who are conducting the |
proceedings sgniticd in no uncertain /
manner that they would no longer per- /
NIT themselves to be made pawns in the .
hands Of the Washington Government. !
TVcnty-four hours have barely elapsed 7
since the medators made clear their
stand through the publication Of the
Carranza documents, and already the
nrs, and the most vital part Of the peace
plan evolved by tho mediators has been
phi into writing and definitely adopted
BY all sides. This was done ut a full
conference to-day.
This first part of the plan provides for
the installation OF a provisional Govern
mcnt in Mexico to take the place OF
that headed by Gen. Huerta. The
actual form of succession has been left
open. but IL has been definitely agreed
that no candidate will be chosen who
has not been approved by Huerta.
After the conference held to-day JUS
tcc Lamar called the newspaper men
together and announced that he had a
short hut very important message TO
convey. His statement follows;
We met and put into final and definite
shape the subject on which We reached
substantial agreement yesterday. This
agreement is now in writing"
The media tors and delegates will take
up tomorrow the matter OF names.
, list of candidates has been prepared
which includes none hut men whom the
Mexican delegates believe to he accept
able to the present head OF the Govern.
ment at Mexico city.
After n candidate believed to he ac-
eeptable has been agreed upon the Mex
lean delegates will transmit his name to
Gen. Huertn, and not before the choice
has been sanctioned by the provisional
President Will II be adopted at the con-
ference.
This Is the point which was most bit
nrly opposed by the American dele
gates. They yielded only after the
Washington Government was Informed
by its representatives here that the me-
diators mad taken a step which Indicated
that they We're prepared TO put an end
to the conference rather than impair the
dignity Of their Government and their
personal feelings.
Ready TO Abandon Csrranra.
Justice Lamar announced yesterday
that an agreement had been reached on
the matter of the transfer of authority in
Mexico, To-day's Developments plainly
showed that the Wilson Government is
prepared even TO abandon Gen. Car
rama rather than permit the mediation
conference to fail. The agreement
reached to-day has never been submitted
to the rebel chief.
II is clear to those who are best in
formed regarding the feelings OF the
medators that this attitude will be
maintained throughout the proceedings
and that II the Constitutionalist chief is

par in the negotiations It will be not
on his own terms but on those formu-
lated by the three diplomats who are

the part of Washington was significant,
