Charged with assault and intent to
Kill. John Grondin, aged 80, recently
acquitted of a murder charge at Los
Angeles, was arrested here tonight by
Deputy Marshal George Simpson upon
the request of City Marshal Dresser
Of Portland, who arrived on the 7.S5

as a 3S-calibre automatic revolver was
found on his person. This, he claimed,
he carried to protect himself. When
Grondin was taken to the City build
ing he was turned over to City Mar

Temporary Government

This. the first intimation as to tho
details of the mediation plans became
known tonight, though neither ths
mediators nor state department off,
Gals would make any statement as to
how nearly complete the plan to ha

Mexican delegates when they meet tha
South American ENJOYS at Niagara.

1t was learned that the proposal
might be that the setting up of q
temporary government be undertaken
by commission composed of five per-
sons, two of them to be named by
Huerta, two by the Constitutionalists
and the fifth by the mediators.
While the mediators have withdrawn.

would not be called upon to testify
in the inquiry being conducted by the

Attorney General McReynolds, while
declining during the day to make any
statement concerning his attitude to-
wards the examination of these wit
nesses by the commission, frankly
informed Joseph w. Folk, chief coun-
sci for the commission, that he does
not approve of it at this time. 1t is
known. too, that members of the COM
mission doubt the advisability of put
ting these witnesses on the stand, lest
the evidence they give should render
them immune from any prosecution
that might be considered necessary.
Conference with President
The attorney general had a brief
conference WIFI IItSlNltiit w llSoii ~
night on the New Haven situation.
Later he was asked the direct ques-

II think it would" he replied.
The adjustment of the affairs of the
New Haven and Boston & Maine, up
on which the department of justice
has been working for several months
involving the separation of the two
systems, is purely civil proceeding.
