PEACE IS
ALMOST IN
Sl0HT NOW
MEDIATORs ARRIVED AT
A DECISION WHICH
SEEMS TO SUIT ALL
BuER1A AN5 1EBtls agree

Niagara Falls, June ,24.--The terms
for composing all the International
differences between the United States
and Mexico are concluded. Condi-
lions under which the diplomatic rela-
tons may oe7resumed were tonight
embodied in a protocol signed by the
mediato,rsi; and the American and HUI.
efta delegates. The character of the
settlement is not expected to arouse
any opposition from the constitution
alists, who will participate in, and to
a large degree, mold the adjustment
Of all internal disputes. When the
new provisional government is estab-
lished to succeed that headed by Huer-
ia the result of mediation will be rec
ognized as a triumph for the Pan-Am-
erican diplomacy and become effect
i've.
sC%oincidentally with the action taken
tonight, it is announced the actual Sc
lection of the provisional president
and the organization Of the new gov
eminent, which Is considered purely
an internal problem, will be left to an
informal conference of representa-
tives of the constitutionalists and the
Hnerta delegates at the mediation con-
ference. No formal adjournment of
mediation will be taken, but there
will be no sessions while the repre-
sentatives of the two warning factions
In Mexico endeavor to arrive at an
agreement on the personnel OF the
new government, agrarian and educa-
tional reforms and other internal prob
lens. The single outstanding proy1-
sion of the protocol is an internatlo1-
III problem and will be declared ad-
justed on the establishment of tie
new provisional government.
Washington D. c., June 24.-De-
spite conflicting reports concerning
the mission of representatives of the

ers that every expectation is that
the agents Of Carra1Za will accept
the invitation Of the American com
missioners Of the Niagara Falls med
iation conference to participate in in
formal negotiations relative to the
pacification Of Mexico. In the light
OF An announcement in New Orleans
yesterday by Alfredo Breceda, one
Of Crranza's agents e1route to Wash
ingtoa, the constitutionalists will
never confer with Huerta exsept on
the battle field. The statement to-
hight by 4 representative Of the con-
sdtutiU1alists here is regarded as
significant. He said with much
emphasis" that the statement yes
terday By Breceda is Not supported
~ Fernando Calderon, who is
Coming to the United States to aid
in negotiations that have been pend
iSg toward the settlement Of troubles

ton leaders would not discuss the
situation, that he learned the plans

CLEAN UP; PAINT UP"
Is the Proposal Brought Before Barre
People.

Clean up and paint up work for Barre
was the subject of discussion last even
ing before an interested gathering of
men and women in the city court room.
A temporary organization, with Frank
g. Rowland acting as chairman, was
formed for the purpose of electing com
mittees to map out suitable program
Outlines of how the work has been sue
cessfully managed in other cities were
presented before the meeting.
The clean up movement is a healthful
one and what it needs behind it is a
few people with enthusiasm. "That we
may love our city, we must first make
our city lovely was the motto adopted
by one civic improvement association at
the outset of successful campaign of
this nature.
On Thursday night of this week at
1880 sharp, another meeting is to be held
in the same room. 1t is hoped that
everyone interested in clean city will
try TO be present. Come and hear what
is to be said, or, better come and say it
yourself. Remember, "Clean Up and
Paint Up" Let that be the slogan of
every good Barre citizen, and make it
ring in your neighbor's ear. Thursday
night at 1870.

MADE GRACEFUL PLUNGE.
Cup Defense Candidate Defiance Launched
at Bath, Me.

Bath, Me-, May l2.-No Yankee clip
per ever made her initial plunge into
the sea amid heartier cheers and good
wishes than followed the cup defense
candidate Defiance as she slid gracefully
into the Kennebec river yesterday.
Miss Frances Clark, daughter of 4.
Walter Clark of Philadelphia, treasurer
of the syndicate, smashed the tradition
al bottle on the capstan head.
The Defiance appears an able bodied,
powerful loking boat. Her lines are
longer than those of the Rcsolute. which
was launched two weeks ago, but her
bilges are fuller, and her keel more ex-
tended. Her topsides are of polished
mahogany and run up quite straight but
she has some sheer and a bow that is
impressive.
There was no secrecy about the pro-
ceedings. The Defiance rested on her
cradle all the afternoon. and thou
sands of visitors looked her over critical
ly and hundreds of cameras were
snapped at her.

Shapiro, the chauffeur of the car in
which the gunmen are said to have es-
capped from the scene Of the murder,
Shapiro told the movements of the

ey Lewis" say, "The cops are all fixed.
Becker fixed them"
Jack Rose, the star witness at the
first trial calmly told the part he played
in the events leading up to the gam
bler's death. Ii was the same story he
told at the first trial. He recited how
Becker and Rosenthal had entered into
partnership in gambling establishments,
how they quarreled, how exposure for
Becker was imminent, and how the Ro-
senthal death was plotted.

SAFE CONDUCT GIVEN
HIM TO VERA CRUZ
Brazilian Minister at Mex
leo City Notifies the State
Department That Mexico
Has Acceded to the De-
mand of United States,
Following Urgent Repre-
sentations

Washington, d. G.. May l2.-Senor
Oivera, the Brazilian minister at Mexico
City, informed the state department to-
day that the Mexican government has
ordered the immediate release of Vice
Consul John r. Silliman, who has been
held prisoner at Saltillo. The Brazil
ian minister added that as soon as Vice
Consul Sillman reached Mexico City he
would obtain for him safe conduct to
Vera Cruz.
The continued detention of Silliman
Secretary of State Bryan in a consulta-
tion with the South American envoys
yesterday afternoon, Mr.. Bryan insisting
that Mr.. Silliman's release be brought
about at once, The authorities here
were provoked by the belated reports
that the American vice consul was i'm
prisoned by Huerta's soldiers. State de-
partment officials were particularly in
dignant when it became known that Mr..
Sillmah was held despite the urgent
representations for his release made by
the Brazilian minister in Mexico City.
Mr.. Sillmans clerk, Joseph A. Marchani,
was also held for a time.
Late yesterday Consul Canada report
ed the arrival of Clerk Marchani in Vera
Cruz. The clerk informed Mr.. Canada
that before he was released from Gus
tody of the Mexicans he was marched
under guard from the jail to the con-
sulate and compelled at the point of
revolver to open the safe and surrender
to the federal commander all the con-
sular records and all valuables, includ
ing money and quantity of jewelry
left there for safe keeping.
1t is not known here how many Amer
leans were imprisoned, but word was re-
ceived that all had been released ex-
cept Consul Sillman and that these Sal
tillo refugees are part of band of 100
who left Mexico City for Vera Cruz.
Late dispatches We're accepted as indi-
eating that the Mexican war minister's
assurances to the French charge last
week that neither Consul Silliman, nor
any member of the embassy staff and
no Americans in Saltillo chad been in
danger" was intended only to deceive
the state department as to the real state
of affairs at Saltillo.

TO DEVELOP CREAMERY.
Meeting Held in Waterbury at Which
E. S. Brigham Spoke.

Waterbury. May l2--Yesterday aft
ernoon in the village hall meeting was
held, started by those interested in the
Winooski Valley creamery. Mr.. Fry
hofer. who has been in the state in the
interests of creamery work, was present,
also State Commissioner of Agriculture
Il. S. Brigham of st. Adams The meet
ing was poorly attended, owing largely
to the fact that it was not well ad-
vertised. Many of those especially in
terested in such subjects knew nothing
whatever OF the meeting.
Mr. Fryhofer comes from the dairying
department of the United States bureau
Of agriculture and is an expert butter
maker. In working with Commissioner
Brigham. il is proposed to make the
creameries at Colchester. Underhill and
Waterbury demonstratiye creameries.
Great work has already been done at
Colchester and the directors of the local
creamery voted yesterday TO make the
improvements recommended and let Mr..
Frvhofer hold the reins for improve
ment. With the utmost earefulness in
preventing too much shrinkage, also in
cleanliness and in quality, it is hoped to
SttuIt Tue bop pAANS ipA tiiN PiONNSt'
With the loyal cooperation of the farm
crs, it is hoped to put these three
creameries in the front rank.
Commissioner Brigham had good
words to say regarding Vermont as a
dairy state. She was once great butter
making state. One third of the milk
produced is now sold as whole milk The
value of skim milk was dwelt upon both
as fed to young stock or as simple fer
tilizer. The price of well bred dairy
calves makes the price per hundred for
skim milk very high. The building up
of Vermont as a dairy state can only be
done by keeping the skim milk on the
farm. If our ereameries can work up
to higher grade product, we are almost
assured of a market; in fact, Mr.
will employ the best man he
can find to locate a market Park &
Telford, the high-grade grocers of New
York City, are already interested. Work
up to a high point of efficiency and then
make them pay what it is worth
The speakers were introduced by ID. p.
Deavitt. who is very enthusiastic over
the work of this branch of dairying.
Mr.. Fryhofer's work lies only with CO.
operative crcameries and places where
there is competition are preferred

his provisional capital at Saltillo within

dier in the constitutionalist army Sat
