RAILROAD OBJECTS.
 Jo GRoToN HIGHWAY PLAN. Would Compel New Haven Road to Build Overhead Bridge Costing About $6,ooo.

There was opposition on the part of the New York, New Haven and Hart ford Railroad company, at a hearing before the public utilities commission Wednesday in Hartford to the petition of the town of Groton concerning the building of a highway in that town which would cross the railroad tracks by an overhead bridge 100 feet long. It is expected that the bridge. of seel, will cost about s6,000. The town has appropriated sI5,00o for bridge and highway.
 H. l. Spock, for the railroad com rany said it's opposition was solely on the ground that the company could not afford to incur the expense.
 Christopher l.. Avery thought the commission should net accept that as sufficient reason He said there are many summer cottages along the pro- posed highway and they would suf- fer hardship, if it were not built.
 MT. Spock said if MT Avery would inform him just what the company's s share of the expense would be he would take it up with the company officials. Mir. Avery said that under the statutes the company should pay one half The hearing was postpon- ed to May 13.

DECLARES MEDIATION
WILL BE BENEFICIAL
John Barrett Believes A. B. c. Pro-
posal. Whether Successful or Not,
Will Help All America.
PROPOSED IDEA YEAR AGO

Whether the mediation proposal by
the three South American powers
which has been accepted by the United
States. will accomplish the desired end
says John Barrett, director general OF
the Pan-American Union, its effect
cannot fail to be great boon to the
entire family of American nations.
Pointing to the fact that the peace
plan which has been undertaken was
suggested by him about a year ago
Mr.. Barrett said: Whether the tender
of mediation achieves its purposes or
not. it has great and far-reaching sig
nificance. 1t signifies the true Ameri-
can spirit of getting together among
American nations, and is a long step
in advance toward all-American CO.
operation for the settlement of dis
putes among American nations.
1T is especially gratifying to me. be-
cause it is directly in line with what /
proposed a little over a year ago. and
which believe, if accepted then. would
have solved the problem. brought peace
to Mexico and prevented intervention and
war
THE moral influence of the direct in
terest of three such powerful American
republics as Argentina. Brazil, and Chile
cannot be overestimated. and even il
Mexico refuses to be a party to a pro-
posal made in the most unselfish spirit
the effect of voluntary action by these
governments will be most beneficial for
relations.
1T has always been my belief that any
difficulties arising between any two
American nations should and would be
settled through the kindly mediation OF
some other American nations"

u. S. Charged With
LACK OF SCRUPLES
Press of France. in Vitriolic Criticism
Of Mr.. Wilson. Sides with
Mexico.
FEAR CONTINENTAL WARFARE

Special Gable to The Washington Herald
Paris. April 26.-The Mexican situation
is receiving editorial attention in the
newspapers. and so far the comment mas
been more critical than cordial For ex-
ample. the Journal has this to say:
The veil now is torn aside. revealing
the designs of American Imperialism. and
the conquest OF Mexico has begun"
The United States is accused Of pursu-
ing its Mexican policy with a remarkable
lack Of s0uples in the Journal des Debats,
which says:
1T cannot be too empha tically affirm
ed that American meddling is the prin-
cipal cause of anarchy and its continual
ton in the unfortunate republic Of
Mexico
The Figaro is ian out and out partisan
of Mexico. rejoicing in the possibility Of
a union Of Huerta, Carranza, Villa and
Zapata against the United States. 1t
predicts. further. that II the hostility of
the constitutionalists should develop &C
tivity the naval war sought by the United
States will be changed into a continental
war.
Although decidedly unsyfHpathetic to-
ward the United States, the Gaulois is
little less blunt than the others.
In its news columns the Journal gives
a highly cOlored version of the dismay
caused at Washington by Gen. Carranza's
protest. The Journal says:
President Wilson's Michiavellian plan
to get rid of Huerta by encouraging the
rebels has failed lamentably. Gen. Car
ranza's message has been an icy douche
for the administration"
Writing on the subject in L'Homme
Libre. one-time French Premier Glenn
enceau has this to say:
President Wilson is not moved by the
atrocities and rapine which dishonored
the cause of the instruction, but the
banal Tampico incident. though followed
by an immediate apology, is regarded by
him as an intolerable national affront and
without a declaration of war he occupies
territory belonging TO a friendly republic
stops without a shadow of right a ves-
sci laden with arms for the Mexican gov
eminent. and resorts to cannonades and
fusillades to give his worthy neighbors a
lesson in civilization"

PRESIDENT IS SHARPLY
CRITICISED in HOUSE
Leaders Take Ofense at Mr.. Wilson 5
Secretiveness Regarding
War Situation.
NOT CONSULTED ABOUT PLANS

Complaint is made by the Democratic
leaders of the House over the failure of
President Wilson and his advisers to
consult with the responsible men in that
body concerning the war situation.
Criticism is made that the administra-
ton made all its plans for a military
movement and executed them without
consulting Chairmen of the committees
that will be called upon to draft needed
legislation in case of actual war.
The leaders aver that the President
and his associates have exhibited a spirit
Of secretiveness in dealing with Congress
at this juncture that has been calling to
men who will Nhave important duties to
perform If the pending mediation nego-
tiations are terminated, and a declaration
of war made as a result either by the
United States or the Huerta government
in Mexico.
It became known today that within
the last twenty-four hours a conference
was held by the chairmsn of the big
House committees, in which the attitude
of the administration toward Congress
was discussed. 1t was pointed out here
that not a single leader of the House
has been consulted in any of the recent
moves made by the government relative
TO the Mexican situation. Members of
the Senate as well as the House got
their first news of the operations at
Vera Crua from the press reports.
1t is true that Representative Flood.
of Virginia, chairman OF the Committee
on Foreign Affairs, has been called to
the White House. but only to be in
formed that the administration has de-
cided upon a specified plan of action.
Mr.. Flood and other leaders in Congress
were summoned for a conference at the
White House Saturday to he informed
that the President already had accepted
the plan of mediation proposed by the
A. B. c. alliance.
In case of war the President and his
Cabinet ministers will have to keep con-
stantly in touch with the chairman of
the Appropriations. Naval, and Military
committees of the two Houses Not one
of these chairmen has been called upon
for advice or counsel in the present
emergency. They have not been asked
to get themselves in readiness to pre-
pare appropriate legislation in case Of
war, nor has their advice been asked
as to what should be done to raise rev.
enues in case OF trouble.
