The Conservation league met yes
terday afternoon in the basement OF
the library. Mrs. H. A. Anderson,
the president, presided, and Mrs. F.
B. Beagle acted as secretary in place
of Mrs. C. A. Case who is i'll. 1t was
decided to invite all of teachers OF
Abilene and the kindergarten moth
ers to become associate members.
Miss Florence Musser gave a very
pleasing piano solo after which some
excellent papers were read. Mrs. z.
C. Schiveley read an excellent paper
on 'The Relation of Physical Condi-
ton of Child and His Self Control"
The paper was much commented
upon by all present. How can child
be good in school or at home-when
he. is dirty, when he is hungry,
when he can't see, when he can't
hear, when he has adenoids, and
when he just simply feels bad all
over? These are things which Mrs.
Schiveley mentioned and which
caused all mothers present to think
more seriously. Mrs. Hugh Lomax
read a paper on Strengthening the
VIII Power Of the Child" 1t was
very good. She spoke of the mistake
so many parents and teachers make
in trying to break the will of a
child. 1t is not right, child with
out a will does not amount to much,
but the duty Of the parents and
teachers is to guide and direct the
will power and to help the child
curb his temper, SO that he win feel
each time what q victory he has
gained. Many questions were asked
and answered about Mrs. Lomax's
splendid paper. The next meeting
viii be held November II.

OPTIMISM AT NIAGARA FALLS
Huerta's Concent to Withdrawal O Blockade Held to Make Settle
 ment Certain.

NIAGARA FAILS. June 8.The U. s. Government, through it's agents. pres ented the mediators today with com plete plan for pacificauon of Mexico. lt is the same in principle as that presented by the mediators and agreed to by Huerta
 It contemplates the early establish ment of a provisional government in Mexico City to conduct general cleo tions for a permanent government. The plan of the Americans includes several counter propositions of which Huerta delegates will be advised to- morrow when a full conference of all delegates and mediators is planned for tomorrow, with final drafting of a proctroclon Wednesday.
 The Anulla question has not been finally disposed of the Mexican dele gates let it be known that while they hoped her cargo would be returned, they were not disposed to interrupt mediation. even if the ammunition got ashore Huerta's order resembling the blockade infused optimism

 The chief advantage to be derived by the sale of bonds for the consuuc tion of these roads are:
 First, the people can realize in a few years the benefits of a well con structed system of State highways that it will take more than twenty years to complete with our present State road appropriations;
 Second The cost of construction oi the proposed highways will be con siderably less if carried on continu ously to completion than if con structed piece by piece, year by year in the fourteen different counties ai is now being done;

 Fourth That as posterity benefits by the development of our resources. posterity will share the burden;
 Fifth. That the increase in the value of lands and in the volume of business will be immediate and sub stantial and will probably be sufficient to meet the increased tax rate neces- sary to pay the interest on, and Co retire. the bonds;

Al the meeting of Fourth Of July committees last night. 1t was decided to make the fireworks feature of the might of the Fourth and Che parade in the morning. the two great spectacu- lar features Of the celebration.
 More money will be spent in prizes for participation in the parade than on the occasion of any previous Fourth of July observation in the district Nearly four times as much money will be spent for fireworks as was spent for this feature last year
 The committee agreed that parade and fireworks features should be the big ones because of their tendency to arouse patriotism, and the latter is to be more strongly striven for this years than in long time in the dis trict.
 Child sports will be another tsrong feature of the day The children are to be given incentive to get out and have big par' i'm the celebration. They are wanted in the parade in ! large number and steps are being talk en to that end In the afternoon they
 will have a sports progra moi their own to carry out in Brewery Gulch and on Naco road.
 The fraternal organizations were also talked about last night and plans made for extensive participa- tlou on their part Several of the orders have been heard from and are promising large turn outs for the pa- |rade Every fraternal organization in
 the district is wanted in the parade and al, are urged 10 make their plans that way
 Decision was reached to ask the cAy council to close Main Street from .thC Irwin Studio to the Phelps-Dodge store. diyeftng all tradlc through Subway street This is asked in or l der to allow of the conduct fo all the

New Clash With Huerta Averted,
 But on What Terms Remains
 Unknown; Said He Recalled Blockade on Certain Promise.
Mediators and Delegates Expect
 to Issue Protocol Tomorrow; U. S. Modification Plans Agree in the Main With Huerta's.

WASHINGTON. June s.-Huerta's order suspending blockade of Tam pico against the ammunition steamer Antila. dispened apprehension over a new crisis which threatened media tion
 Although officials express satisfac- tion over Huertas action, it is per sistently said in outside circles that the blockade has been suspended only ! conditionally, as the result of con- ! ference between the mediators and ! Mexican and American delegates at ! Niagara Falls. that the Antilla's car go might not be delivered in Tampico at this time Temporarily at least this has averted another clash at arms.
 From no official source can confirm ation be procured of reports that Huertl had an understandings with the mediators or the U s. which would assure the Antilla's cargo not being delivered Rebels here believe the ammunition will be landed but di- vulge no authority upon which to base such opinion The Antilla is due to arrive at Tampico Wednesday morning
 Bryan was first informed of Huer- ta's suspension of the blockade order by Spanish Minister Riano. Bryan declined to discuss reports that Huerta made suspension at request of the mediators, pending their dis cussion of questions relating to the l cessation of hostilities.
 One important question said to have been raised at Niagara was whether the U. g. construed the medi- ation agreement to obligate 1t to pre- vent arms entering Tampico, which the Huerta government had declared closed If the U S. did not, the me- diators wanted to know if this govern ment would consider it a breach of faith should Huerta gunboats attempt to stop the Antilla's cargo for Car ransa. Such questions, it is said were put to Bryan from Niagara. and Huerta was asked to suspend the blockade order until the subject could be cleared up.
 The Mexican gunboats zaragoza and Bravo, followed from Puerto Mexico by the cruiser Tacoma and gunboat Sacramento, reached Tam pico shortly after 8 a. m. Badger re ported their arrival, but did not state whether the gunboat commander had been appraised of suspension of the order. The Mexican boats anchored in Panuco river, some distance from Tampico
