LAND REDISTRIBUTION
SCHEME NOT DEFINITE
Landing Of Arms at Puerto
Mexico Not Believed to
Effect Negotiations
BY John Edwin Nevin.

Washington, May 2S.-A settlement
of Mexico's troubles-both with the
United States and between domestic
factions-was looked for in administra-
tion circles here today before President
IIuerta will have time to use the war
munitions he succeeded in getting land
ed yesterday at Puerto. Mexico.
1t was denied, however, that tenta-
tive protocol had already been arranged
at Niagara Falls. "The situation,
said Joseph Tumulty, President Will
son S private secretary, SIS now very
encouraging, but to say that protocol
has already been drawn would be pre-
mature. The doubtful ground is being
reduced and we are hopeful that def
mite action will soon be in sight.
Situation to Be Cleared.
1t was also stated on Secretary OF
State Bryan's authority that the sit
uaton involving the rebels would bt
cleared within 4S hours. Judge Doug

REBELS TO DECIDE FRIDAY
sT1PULAT1oNs NOT MADE PUBLIC
Need For Haste Is Realized By Medi-
ators and Envoys-Agreement Of
Constitutionalists To Results of Con-
ference Expected.

Washington, May 2S.-By Friday
the Mexican eonstitutionalists will
have decided definitely whether to par
ticipate in the American-Mexican
mediation negotiations in progress at
Niagara Falls or simply to abide by
the negotiations result, it was learned
today from sources close to the Car
rama junta here.
Agreement by the rebels of the ex-
pected Niagara Falls agreement, it was
added, was promised on the assumption
that certain stipulatiOns they had al
ready named to Secretary of State
Bryan would be met. On this point,
however, it was believed all would be
satisfactory. Just what the stipula-
tions were was not made public but it
was generally understood they related
to an acceptable list of men from which
the Mexican congress might choose an
administrator or administrators of
Mexieo's affairs between the moment
of President Huerta' S retirement and
regular election.
Officials here were confident that
the mediation negotiations would prove
successful but they believed also that
unless a protocol was signed within q
week. the negotiations would END
abruptly. Both mediators and envoy'
were known, however, to realize thC
need for haste and this encouraged of
ficialdom to regard the situation hope
fully.
This hopefulness explained the
equanimity with which the administra
tion received the news of yesterday Z
landing of war mupitions for ISesiden
Huerta at Puerto Mexico. Secretar.
of State Bryan admitted he was in
vestigating the Puerto Mexico incident
Asked whether he had heard repor
that a new revolutionary movemen
had made its appearance in norther1
Mexico, the secretary replied: 81 hay
read that such movement had starte
but ! doubt it. Anyhow, correspond
ents often exaggerate in such matters.

QUESTION OF NEGLIGENCE
NOW UP TO THE JURY

The case of George MeGilchrist, su-
ing the Portland Eugene & Eastern
for $4,000 for damages which he al.
legged were due to the negligence of
the employees in operating their cars
went to the jury this afternoon little
before 3 clock. In summing up the
evidence in his charge to the Jury,
Judge Hamilton stated that as to ex-
tent Of the injury the present condition
of the boy would bear witness. It was
to be understood from the evidence
that the car did not come to full stop
to permit the plaintiff to alight, but
slowed down, and that he left the car
while it was in motion.
A jerk from the ear is supposed to
have caused him to fall to the pave
ment with such force that he sustained
fracture of the top of the thigh bone.
Whether the company was guilty of
negligence in permitting the plaintiff
to alight at this time or whether the
boy was guilty of negligence in not
waiting for the car to stop were allie
cations for the jury to decide when in
consultation. F

will be returned until considerable time

DENIES BUSINESS IS
AT A STANDSTILL
Present Depression Merely Phychologi-
cal Says President Wilson-opposes
Postponing Of Trust Legislation.

Washington, May 2S.-A delegation
of business men today urged President
Wilson to postpone all trust legislation,
except the bill creating trade com
mission, until the commission could rec
commend new set of laws strength
ening the Sherman act. The president
Immediately refused. He also inti-
mated that if business men continued
to oppose the moderate amendments
proposed, new and more drastic law
would result from such action.
President Wilson denied the delega-
tion's statement that business is at a
standstill because investors feared to
risk money in enterprises that drastic
legislation might stop. He declared
that it was much better to do things
moderately and soberly now than to
wait until more radical forces had ac-
cumulated, making it necessary to go
much farther. The president insisted
that the present depression was merely
psychological. He impressed on mis-
visitors the necessity for patriotic co.
operation on the part of business men. "
The president insisted that he desired
to serve and not hinder business.

Cannon Beach Hostelry Cannot be
Moved So R. R. Commission Is Asked
to Order That Wires Be Moved.

NJ. S. Warren, proprietor Of the hotel
on Cannon beach at Seaside, has filed
complaint with the railroad commits
sion. He alleges that The light and
power lines are so close to the tele-
phone wires that the latter are made
utterly useless, and that instead of
having central tell in dulcet tones that
lines busy" one can only hear an
ear-annoying buzz.
He cannot well move the motel, SC
asks that the company be compelled to
move the power wires. Mr.. Warren
says his guests are annoyed and his
business injured, and worse than al
some of them think it is a political
buzz due to the proximity OF Governor
West s summer residence, and as a ma
jority of Oregon people are utterly dis
gusted with Oregon politics and do moi
want to hear anything more about
them, this also Injuries his business
Owing to it being an emergency case
Mr.. Warren would have the restraining
or moving order, go into effect a

MUST HAVE FIRM CONTROL
MEXICAN QUESTION DISCUSSED
Unless arrangements Are Made for
Preserving Order Any Solution Will
Merely Postpone Problem.

Washington, May 2s.-W. Cameron
Forbes, former governor general of the
Philippine islands, today discussed
Mexico before the national foreign
trade convention in session here.
"Any arrangement in the Mexican
problem, said Forbes, "not involving
the establishment of strong central
control, capable of maintaining order
and administering the finance, justice
and legislative branches of the govern
ment, will prove to be not a solution
but merely postpOnement of the ques-
tiOn.
John Ryan, president Of the Anal.
gamated Copper company, said:
"SO-called trusts have built up Am.
erica s foreign trade and the present
policy of breaking large concerns fntc
units and forbidding combinations in
export trade will drive up still further
out of foreign markets."

Story Of Intended Call by Gov
ernOr Not Verified Nor
Absolutely Denied
PROBABLE REASON IS
TO ABOLISH OFFICES
Saving in Combining COrnmis.
siOns Believed to Be Over
balanced by Expense

1t has been known for some time that
there was a possibility of the governor
calling special session of the legisla
ture, but he has insisted strenuously
all the time that this would not be
done if it could possibly be avoided,
and as it can be so avoided there is
little probability Of its being done.
The whole object of special session
would be for the purpose of abolishing
the desert land board and the office
of state engineer and the consolidation
of some of the commissions. On top
of this, it is suggested that the penalty
be taken from the deferred payments
of taxes, and the consolidation of the
office of labor commissioner with the
Industrial Accident commission. The
governor also favors q constitutional
amendment limiting the tax levy for
state and counties, and legislation to
make law enforcement more certain
and easy.
Governor in South.
The governor was at Grants Pass last
night and will not be home before Fri.
day, and until that time the story OF
an intended call for a special session
can neither be verified nor absolutely
disputed. As the legislature meets in
seven months, and as it would take
under the law about month to get
the special session started, there seems
to be no reason why it should be call
ed, unless it is to get some offices abol
ished before the election. While there
would be a saving made by some OF
the suggested changes, that saving in
two years would not equal the cost OF
an extra session, which, if called with
so many things for IL to act on, would
cost the state more than a regular
session, for the work outlined is more
than is generally accomplished at {
regular session.
There have been several things tina
suggested the calling of special ses
sion, that were of more urgent neces
sity than the things mentioned, an(
from this it is presumed the governo
will hesitate about putting the state t,
heavy expense that can be avoided b,
waiting q few monhs.
