CAUCUS MEETS
BUT NO NEWS"
THAT IS THE REPORT RE-
. CEIVED FROM COLUMBIA
LAST NIGHT
NO WITHDRAWALS
That Is About All That Can Be
Gathered From the Meeting
At Capital Monday
NO WITHDRAWALS

In view of the published statements
bad" a close friend of Senator NC
Laurin, to the effect that there would
be some kind of caucus or conference
among Blease leaders in Columbia this
week, The Intelligencer made in
ouiry of Columbia last night and was
informed that there was no news.
It was stated that there are about
so known Blease leaders in Columbia,
but they deny being in any confer
ence. Sam J. Nichols, at Spartan
burg, Sunday told some Anderson
friends that he was going to such, a
caucus in Columbia today, and it has
been talked openly in Columbia.
It is reported that John Richards
is one of the candidates for governor
who attended the conference. Ihe
supporters of Senator McLaurin have
resented Richards trying to nose him
out, and it is said that there Is some
bad feeling over this proposition.
There have been rumors! that Gov.
Blease is being urged to make the
race for governor, for the sentiment
seems to be growing that his party
will have a hard time to elect gov
ernor out of the present mixup un-
less several candidates voluntarily
withdraw.
II is also rumored that )ominick
and Geo. Bell Zimmerman have been
urged to run. One rumor had it that
Senator Clifton, of Sumter, might get
into the race. The whole matter IS
greatly muddled.
One thing is expected out of CO.
lumbia if the conference should be
held, and that is some statement as
to the enrolment Of voters.
About all that could be learned from
Columbia last night was that there
seemed to be a good deal Of soreness
on the part of friends of some cand1-
dates for governor because those can
didates had been asked to stand aside
to make way for others. Just how
much accuracy there is in the rumors
could not be learned last night.

mediators at Niagara Falls, and an
announcement from General Villa re-
iterating his allegiance as military
leader to Carranza, were the devel-
opments today Of the Mexican situa-
City from Torreon on his way from

Jaurez. Carranza was reported as
having begun preparations to move by
way of Torreon to Saltillo where he
will perfect his provisional govern
ment was established several days ago,
was addressed to the press of the
press of the United States with a note
20 the effect that it had official sane
ton, although it was not a formal dec
laration. The telegram, in part, fol-
lows:
"The dom. liant sentiment OF the con-
Stitutionalists regarding the proceed
ings Of the mediation commission at
Niagara Falls is one of astonishment
that there should be such an apparent
ack of understanding on the part of
that body, not only with regard to con-
1itions in Mexico, but as to the atti-
tude Of the constitutionalists regard
ing the mediators. This lack Of under
standing is not confined to the COM
missioners themselves, but seems to be
srared by large portion of the Amer
ican press as well as by the govern
ment.
Judging from what has been pub
lisred from day to day the mediators
appear to consider General Carranza
and his followers as negligible guam
tity, scarcely worthy of attention, and
every conclusion the commission may
who, perforce, must agree to what
| reach. They do not seem to be aware
of the fact that the constitutionalists
are conQuerors, that they have inau-
guarated and carried almost to sue
cessful completion a revolution, and
the rest Of the world. Recent success
that this means the establishment o.
a governmnt ntitld to recognition by
OF the constitutionalist army, and 9TH

that the power of Huerta is practically
ended. His troops will not fight. They
either run away or DIN their opponent;
with every sign Of willingness.

MEDIATION
MAY Be BALKED
BY THE EVIDENT STUBBORN
NESS OF THE CON-
STITUTIONALIST
HITCH SOMEWHERE
Although Everything, Scene TO Be
Moving Slowly But Surely To
a Peace Protocol a
HITCH SOMEWHERE.

Washington, June 1.-American del
egates to the Mexican mediation con-
ference at Niagara Falls were In fre-
quent communication today, with the
Washington government in relation, it
is said, to the hitch in the negotiations
which has arisen since the note was
sent last week to the mediators out
lining the position of the constitution
alists. It further was reported that
the matter of recognizing or rejecting
representatives of the constitutional
lists as participants in the peace con-
ference now was squarely up to the
mediators themselves.
It was stated here that General HUI
erta's representatives had regarded the
development with a degre Of favor, as
indicating hope for future peace. Their
determination to leave the matter to
the mediators, it was asserted, was
reached by the Mexican delegates on
the day that Mr.. Urqufdi, representing
Rafael Zubaran, arrived from WASH
ington with the Carranza note.
That Justice Lamar and Mr.. Leh-
mann have been urging recognition Of
Carranza seemed more apparent than
ever in Washington tonight. Late last
night, a long communication was adj
dressed to the American commissions
err from the state department after, a
conference between President Wilson
and Secretary Bryan. After they had
received It, other commune
passed between them and the Wash
ington government. President Wilson
personally sent messages to his rep
resentatives the nature Of which was
held in the strictest confidence. He
still follows closely his policy Of 81
'lsnce regarding the mediation proceed
,ings. q
"Is mediation progressing satisfac-
torily?" Secretary Bryan was asked.
''It can be said that the conference
is progressing satisfactorily" he said
with smile. .gs
{ Whether mediation will come to
naught in, case the South American
ENJOYS should determine to reject all
proposals for enlarging the scope Of
the conference as include representa-
,tives Of the Mexican revolutionists was
the uppermost subject Of discussion
here today. Many held, that the Huer-
ta's representatives would be adhered
and that the United States would then
await developments In Mexico. a.
Others inclined to the view that the
constitutionalists would proceed with
increased vigor to the physical over
throw Of the Huerta regime, capture
the government at Mexico City and
then protest there was nothing to med
late. 90 ....... .....-
Some definite announcement from
the mediators regarding the problem
Is expected here hourly. Representa-
tives of the Constitutionalists confer
red again during the day.
Z They insisted that no news had been
received to alter their position.

Provision Making a Labor
Union Trust
HAS NO OPPOSITION

Washington June 1.-Trade unions
and farmers unions would be. spicifi-
cally legalized in their existence and
declared not to be combinations Of re-
straint Of trade by a paragraph which
the house today incorporated in the
Clayton bill to supplement the anti
trust laws.
Although it is decided only toclari-
fly existing law, organized labor lead
ers say the final passage of this
amendment will mark the elimination
of a fight waged by them for four
teen years-since the passage OF the
Sherman antitrust law for exemption
from prosecution under the laws
against monopolies and restraint of
trade. On vote to perfect the labor
provision the house was recorded 2O7
for and none against. - -
AS adopted the provision declares
that nothing in the antitrust law
shall be construed to forbid the ex-
istence or operation" Of labor unions
or farmers cooperative associations,
Ger to forbid or restrain members Of
such organizations form carrying out
the legitimate objects thereof. Sup
Elemental to this provision the house
adopted an amendment proposed >by
Representative Webb, in charge Of this
bill, and agreed on by organized labor
representatives, which would provide
that thees organizations shall not he
held or construed to be Illegal COM
binations or conspiracies in restraint
of trade under the antitrust laws"
Progressive Leader Murdock and
others asserted that it would be years
before the courts would define finally
just how far the exemption went and
what it meant.

Montreal, June 1.-The sharp
point of an anchor, projecting

where it could have ripped
through the hull Of the En-
press like a great can opener.
The anchor and portions of the
battered steel surrounding it

Long Ago.

This night in May upon old Chariestoh's
Battery wall, alone, muse
And recollection sweeps the vistas Of the
past,
I live again the happy, happy hours that
can not lose,
| Though long, long years have come and
gone, their charm-the witching spell
| they softly cast. g.
Familiar faces, dear, smile once again.
For some has come the end,
And earth no longer holds them;-a
all-how changedl
One there was who with that fair moonlit
scene In complete harmony seemed
to blend
AS If for her sweet radiant presence that
setting of the sea and sky and shore
some spirit had arranged!
In the still moonlight, Der the mirroring
bay we gently glide
Methinks hear the very voices softly
all the old songs singing
And hear the wavelets 'gainst the sea wall
tapping with the rising tide
And smell the drowsy perfume from the
gardens blown DER the tiny waves to
which they're clinging.
And then comes through the misty air
faint and afar
Like fairy fantasies the tinkling tones,
now clear, now hushed again,
AS some deft hand sweeps DER the strings,
the sound of a guitar;
Andso one listens thrilled with tense de-
light almost akin to pain!
As then so now the moon Is softly shining
down
And as I lean upon the railing OF the
Battery wall
And muse upon the beauty and the story
of this proud old town
wonder not that once heart has felt
her spell it never can but answer to
her call.
