 IN TERRIFIC HEAT
THE ONLY COOL SPOT IN THE COUNTRY WAS AROUND THE
 UPPER LAKE REGION.

Washington, D. C.. June 11-Heat held its relentless grip again today on the greater part of the country east of the Missouri Valley. At some points new June records were reached. The only cool spot in the entire area was around the upper ake region where a few places en- Ioyed a temperature around 60.
 The hottest place on the map was Yuma, Ariz., where the mercury cliISbed up 10 106. Evansville, Ind; Mobile, Ala, and Raleigh, N. C., sweltered with temperatures of 100, That equalled Mobiles June record, In Wytheville Va, new mark of 94 fer June was reached.

ence with the cOnstitutionalists for the moment was shelved in interest over the method of transfer of au. thority. The mediators did not wait to receive the answer from Rafael Zubaran to the last communication. This generally was taken to mean that the mediators thought sufficient consideration already was being given the constitutionalists in the parleys. The reason for closing the correspondence was said to be the direct animation through the press and other channels that General Car ranza would not agree to an armis- tice. There is no question but what the entire Mexican problem could be solved in 8 few days or a quick deci- sion reached as to the futility of diplomacy if all parties were here.
 The American delegates them selves would appreciate the pres enee of constitutionalist representa- tives as a direct method of learning what would or would not be accept able to them.

GOVERNMENT TO
 KEEP IN CLOSE TOUCH
AMERICAN REPRESENTATIVE IS SENT TO HEADQUARTERS OF
 GENERAL CARRANZA.

Fl Paso, Texas, June l1.--In order to place the Washington government in close touch with General Car ranza's headquarters, George C.. Carouthers, special representative of the department of state, today was ordered to proceed directly to Sal tillo from Torreon. Mir. Carouthers, who is consular agent at Torreon, for several weeks mas been repre- senting the state department while accompanying General Villa.
 The order for MT. Carouthers' transfer from Villas to Carranza' $ headquarters was taken nere to indi- cate that the administration at Washington desired to begin a series of direct negotiations with the con- stitutionalist comnanaer.
 Agents and supporters of the con stitutionalists here were iubilant to- day over the sudden turn in affairs at Niagara Falls. From ali sides was expressed reiteration of conf dence in the friendliness of the Washington administration It was predicted that disagreement al Niagara Falls would hasten General Carranza's reply to the pending proposition of the mediators.
 Few details arrived from the south regarding the attacks on Zacatecas and the investment of San Luis Potosi. It was stated, however, that General Natera, recently appointed as commander of a new central mili tary zone, was in complete command of the zacatecas attack. General Villa remained at Torreon, viewins | Natera's efforts from distance.
 The situation in Sonora caused b! factional troubles between the mill tary and civil state government was credited as having caused a hun [ ried trip to Nogales by Ygnaoio Be nill4s, Caranzas acting secretary o communications.

 sGeneral Vilareal, governor of Nuevo Leon, has issued an order in Monterey that no one shall be al- lowed to hold corn for high prices or store it, and also that no price greater than cents Her shall be charged for it.
