cAaaANzA FORMALLY NOTIFIED

NIAGARA FALLS. June 15.-The medlators tonight formally advised Carranaa by telegraph that they would not admit his representatives to the conferences here unless an ar- mistice was declared and the internal and international phases of the Mex ican problem accepted nj the scope of mediation
 Carranza communications were barely mentioned at the conference today. which devoted itself to discus sion of a. provisional president It was as fruitless as previous meet. ings. As rapidly as the American del egates mentioned names, the Huerta delegates cited objections.
 The telegram to Carranza followed receipt of a note from Zubaran, an- nouncing the appointment of Calde- ron. Cabera and Vasconceles as del egates to mediation, at which accord ing to Carranza. "It is sought to settle the international conflict which has arisen between the 'U. S. ano Mexico"
 "The mediators told Carranza they feared he had not duly considered' their communications requesting ar. mistice and discussion of the entire Mexican problem.
 Discussion of the personnel of the provisional government will continue until all names have been exhausted. Minister Naon. of Argentina, left to- night for Yale and Harvard, where he will receive honorary degrees. During his three days absence there will be no formal conferences.

CRISES IS ADMITTED.
Washington Officials Do Not Expect carranza to Submit to Medi-
 ators' Demand.

WASHINGTON June 15.-Govern. ment officials had no hesitancy in ad- hitting tonight that there was a cris- is in the Mexican mediation confer ence at Niagara Falls over the selec- ton of men for the proposed pro visional government to succeed the Huerta regime. However, they still seem confident and said that hopes for peace in Mexico were by no means abandoned.
 Word came from Niagara Falls that the mediators had replied to the recent note from Carranza. stating that his offer to send delegates would be acceptable only on condition that he agree to cease hostilities against the Huerta government.
 That Carranza would not consent to such a condition has been repeat edly asserted by him. This develop ment. therefore. caused no change in the diplomatic situation insofar as the U. s. is concerned. It is stated in official quarters that the U s. has been proceeding with the mediators on the basis that there could be no settlement Of the Mexican problem unless the warning factions at Mag ara Falls be brought to terms. De yelopments in Mexico during the last few months. it is pointed out have made it apparent that the Huerta government could not survive. ire spective of mediation and that there could be no provisional government worthy of the name which did not rec ogniae the revolutionists.

CRIMINAL RECORD IS BARED BY WOMAN WHO
 IS NOW IN PHOENIX

PHOENIX, June 15.-It was only because they thought that there was not money enough available to war. rant the risk involved. that prevented the holding up of the Merchants Cafe. Gass Bros, the Wellington and the Hoffman saloon a couple of months ago by gang of crooks, according to Mrs Grace Thompson. a member of the gang who was brought back from Stockton Cal, yesterday by Sheriff Adams Mrs Thompson or Folmer was extradited on the charge of is- suing forged checks to the merchants .of this town, aggregatng about $500.
 She was arrested at Stockton a cou- pie of weeks ago, her husband having been taken into custody the evening before. Within a couple of hours he was dead of poison. Mrs. Thompson talked freely to her jailers at Stockton and to Sheriff Adams, Assistant Coun- ty Attorney Candy and Chief of Police Brisbois yesterday. She concealed nothing. Her story was one of utter depravity, many parts of it involving citizens of Phoenix. being unpTintable. For a good looking woman only nine teen years of age she has travelled fast and gone a long way
 She said that she was born in Texas and some years ago married her first husband in California. They separa- ted after a quarrel and not long after that she married Jack Folmer Their separation soon followed. She came to Phoenix last winter and accident ally met Folmer and resumed her re- lstiOns with him They engaged in no outbreaking criminal operations until they got ready 70 leave for the coast Then she issued the bogus checks. l Her success in dispOsing of them in- ] duced FOlmer to try it and he succeed ! ed in passing several They went to San Francisco where she and FOlmer met her brother.

Natera Hurled Back With Heavy
 Losses; FederalS Not Pre- vented From Adding Reinforce mentS; Bloody Battle Soon.
Crisis Reached in Mediation Af- fairs; Carranza Told His Del
 egateS Will Not Be Received Unless He Agrees to ArmiStiCe.

FL PAsO. June 15.-News of rebel reyerses at Zacatecas has been re- ceived here from the south as we'll as by press dispatches from Mexico City. Reports from Torreon fail to tell of Villas departure to help Natera, al. though it is said here that Villas men are moving toward Zacatecas as rap idly as railroad conditions permit
 In effort to take the city, Natera's troops attacked the federal entrench. ments on Fl Grille and Veta Grande mountains. They were repulsed with heavy loss. Four attacks were made. Each time the rebels had to retreat, owing to heavy and well directed ma chine gun fire. No information of the number of dead and wounded on the rebel side is given out, but it is under stood that these were unusually heavy.
 The forces employed in the assault numbered about 1000, out of a total of 12. 900 forming the Natera command It is said the forces of General Bar ron. federal commander at Zacatecas number 5000

President Makes Public Letters
 Addressed to Himself, Mem-
 berS of Congress and Others, lmploring Congress Recess.
Implication Is That They Repre- sent UnWarranted lnterfer-
 enCe; Plea to Legislators Is They Let Prosperity Return.

WASHINGTON, June 15.--The Pres ident came out with the flat declara- ton that despite what he character ized as a deliberate campaign by cer- tain interests to bring about adjourn ment of Congress, and postponemeut of the administration trust legisls- ton program, he would use every in- nuence at his command 10 get the pending bills through the senate at this session.
 The President disclosed his belief that organized distribution of circu- lar letters and telegrams among busi ness men. members of Congress and other officials, calling for the adjourn ment of Congress and a halt on trust bills. with increase in the freight rates, and "rest for business" was re- sponsible for what he described as psychological depression"
 In support of that view the White House made public copies of such let ters, one of which was circulated by the Simmons Hardware Co., of St. Louis Mo. The President previously offered F. C. Simmons, president of the company a place on the federal reserve board Today he announced that Simmons had declined White House officials denied that the Sim mons letter had anything to do with his declination of appointment lt was said, however that the President did not know of the letter when he offered simmons the place
 Another letter given out purported to have been sent out by Pictoral Re. view Co. of New York signed by Pres ident w. P Ahnelt was accompanied by prepared letters protesting against trust legislation and suggestion that . Congress adjorn, urging the recipients to mail copies to the President, Con gress. the Interstate Commerce Com mission and other officials
 "If you prefer to use copies of the mclosed letters" read Ahnet's letter I've will mail as many copies as you can conveniently use It will be more elective, however, if you write to them on your own letterheads. The sooner 1 this appeal is made. the greater effect 'it will have on the politicians who have caused the loss of prosperity lnclosed find a list of names and ad- dresses to whom letters should be sent"
 1 The form letter urged the postpone. Iment of legislation, since drastic ac- ton was perilous at this time. Grant ] ing the petition of the Eastern rail roads for a 5 per cent increase will do more for the prosperity of devel opment of the country than an the legislation against unlawful restraint and monopolies," the letter said
 The Simmons letter declared that
 three things stood in the way of pros
 perity, the Mexican situation. the awaited advance in freight rates, the continued hostile legislation in Con gress. "We ask you, pray you. to use your best influence in following the lines suggested in this communicat ion," the Simmons letter declared, "via
 to have Congress shut up shop and go hrome."

VILLAS OFFICERS QUOTED.
General Personally Does Not Appear Interested in Advance on
 Zacatecas.

TORREON, Sunday, via El Paso' June 15.-No fighting in the city prop CT is anticipated by officers here who are preparing today to move against Zacatecas with Villas forces. As yet tbe assault by Natera's troops has proven unsuccessful. Because the city is located in a basin, either side would find itself in a predicament should it occupy the city itself with ont possession of the three mountains and other commanding elevations about the town
 With retreat cut off the federals may decide to defend to the utmost every position taken by them. Since they have large number of machine guns, rebel officers believe the fighting around Zacatecas may become the bloodiest the revolution has seen. It is understood here that attempts to prevent the entry of endorsements have not been successful and that dur ing the last few days the federal forces have been augmented by at least 5000 men
 VERA CRUZ, June 15.-The ar rival of 1000 endorsements for the command of General Nayarrete al San Francisco. 20 miles from Vera Cruz, and increased aggressiyeness of Mexican scouting parties, have i'm creased the vigilance of outposts an along the American lines The fed erals continue to fortify their posi- tions around San Francisco.
 For several days the Mexican' have been riding ahead of their lines in some cases coming within lOC yards of American posts and indulg ing in gestures of derision. Best es inmates obtained by Funston places the forces just beyond the American lines at not less than 5000.
