"Petrograd is rejoicing over this
victory, which surpasses all former
ones because of its decisive character.
Great demonstrations have been held
by the army. Grand Duke Nicholas,

Nicholas were cheered, and in all the
churches services TO celebrate the
event have taken place.
Emperor Nicholas remains at the

MediatorS Hold
Formal Session
This Afternoon

NIAGARA FALLS. Ont, May O.-The
mediators and the representatives rf the
Unitel States and the Huerta government
began at o'clock the first formal com
ference looking to a settlement OF the
Mexican problem. ltI es of procedure
and preliminary organization OF the
mediation proceedings wers discussed.
After an address of welcome by Am
bassador Da CANA and suitable re-
sponses by representatives of the Mexi-
can and American delegates, the first
session Of the mediation confersnce re-
cessed until tonight.
The conference was preceded by formal
calls by the Mexican representatives and
the American delegates on the South
American mediators,
Ambassador Da CANA OF Brazil and
Minister Naon of Argentina explained
that Minister Suarez of Chile had wired
he would not arrive until tonight, but
that the first session should not be de-
layed because of his absence.
The question Of the elimination Of
Huerta was believed to he paramount in
the minds OF the mediators. It was real
ized the final solution of the problem
would depend on the powers conferred
on the Mexican delegates
II their powers are plenary it was
thought the Huerta elimination could
then be approached as one of the first
proposals to be submitted. If, however,
the Mexican representatives refer the
mediators' suggestions to Mexico City.
the subject would probably be approached
with less hopefulness of an immediate
settlement.

An attempt TO influence County Com.

smoke consuming deviceN which +. NJ
Pickard. whom the Daily News hired "a
lead county commissioners into trouble
pretended TO have for sale, made in per
son by Editor Joe Polcar, has been re-
vealed by Mr.. Lynch.
1t is known that the aim OF the Burns
News gang was to get Lynch at any
cost and Polcar went to dangerous
lengths to assist his hired tool when the
latters arguments in behalf of hts smoke
consumer failed to succeed
"Of course observed Lynch, 'if they
could have induced me to favor purchase
Of the smoke consumer, that would have
been all they needed to charge me with
any crime"
PoIcar Boosts for Device.
Polcar twice called up Lynch and asked
him to come to his office.
when l talked with him." said Lynch,
'Polcar said the smoke consumer propo-
sition was a good one for the county and
that smoke should be eliminated. ! told
him that the device came right In my
line Of business and that / knew II was
far overpriced. He couldn't see II that
way and tried TO persuade me to favor it"
The smoke device, according TO Lynch,
was very simple. consisting principally OF
CRATES and a power fan, pickard's price
for three Of these was $3.50 Lynch says
they could be purchased for S720 right
here in Omaha.
Burns sold Polcar whole yard Of
gold bricks" was the way Lynch fin
ished the interview.
Editor Friendly with Officials.
According to statements Of Commis-
soner Lynch and Mayor Dahlman, Pol
car after becoming frightened several
times called up both men by telephone
and spoke to them in terms OF affection.
Polcar at these times called the com
missioner johnnie" and the mavOr

Developments with relation TO the at
tempted bribery plot are believed at the
court house to explain the reasons for
the Daily News for placing two news
paper men in both the court house and
city hall last winter with instructions TO
get something on the officials in both
places.
This apparent effort to lay a founda-
