Courts Building yesterday afternoon
just as he was about To be indicted by
a General Sessions grand jury.
De Falco was one of five men
taken before the grand jury. The case
Of David Borden was the first consid
cred and no indictment was returned.
When De Falco was called Borden
was still there. but the much wanted
man was not. He had made his escape
by using Borden's name. This prisoner
went back TO the Tombs to await in
vestigation that may prove he was i'm
plicated in concerted action to take De
Falco's punishment
Both De Falco and Borden owed their
capture to Jacob Brodsky, who was ar

DELEGATES NOT so
SURE AS LAMAR
Fear Difficulty in Reaching Agree

Postponed.
BY GEORGE eRIsWoLD HILL.

Niagara Falls, Ontario, June IL
The method effecting the transfer OF
authority in Mexico. the first plank in
the plan OF pacification, has been
agreed to-" This statement was made
by Justice Lamar. following a full
meeting of the mediation conference
this evening.
The view of the mediators is less op-
timistic than that apparently enter
tained by Justice Lamar. They fear
that the difficulty in reaching an agree
ment has been merely postponed rather
than overcome.
The essential TO an agreement is the
selection Of a man for provisional Pres

the necessity Of referring every detail
TO Washington. and Washington un-
willing 10 approve any man, ire
spective of his character or the extent
OF his sympathy with the Constitu-
tionalist cause. who does not receive
the approval of Carranza. the negotia-
tions must proceed slowly and with
many possibilities Of an impasse.
An Hours Discussion.
The American delegates met the
mediators at the request of the latter
at $50 o'clock this evening. and after
about an hours discussion the Mexi-
cans were called in, the conference ad-

FIRST CASE
UNDER NEW LABOR LAW
Camp manufacturing Company, Of
Franklin, Alleged VioIAtor OF Semi
monthly Pay Statute.
INSPECTOR GETS OUT WARRANT
Concern Admits Charge, but Claims
Exemption on Ground 1t Operates
Sawmill Business and Not Subject
to Act OF 1910.

The nrst case to be prosecuted by
the State Department OF Labor under
the senimonthly pay law since that
law went into effect In 1910. was set
for trial In Frannlin yesterday imme-
diatcly after a warrant had been sworn
out against the Camp Manufacturing
Company. OF Franklin COUNTY, by
Deputy Industrial Inspector j. BERNARD
Clnedinst.
Tho report received from the agent
OF tho depar tmcnt by Labor Commits
sioncr James r. Doherty shows that
tho manager OF the Camp Manufacture
Ing Company admits that tho employees
OF the company are paid only once II
month. but he sets forth tho claim that
his concern is operating n saw mill
business. and is. therefore. exempt from
tho operation of the law.
CLAIM CONCERN DOES
MANuI'A CTuRISG BUSINESS
The defense Is based upon section
OF the statute which excnpts from tho
compulsory semimonthly pay day coal
mining and coke manufacturing plants,
excelsior mills and saw mills. The
inspector contends, however. that the
saw mill Is but m adjunct to the main
business. which. ne says, Is a manufac-
turing business. MS the name OF the
company implies and as its charter
will show. He Will produce MS evil
dence against the company n copy OF
the papers OF incorporation issued to
the concern by the State Corporation
commission. The principal business OF
the Camp Manufacturing Company Is
turning out, finished lumber from its
large planning mills.
While this Is the nrst case prose-
cuted under the semimonthly pay day
law. the result OF the trial can hardly
be taken q test OF the law. The
valdness OF the statute is not Ques-
toned by the defendant concern. The
question TO DO decided by the court is
whether the company Is conducting n
manufacturing business a saw mill
