erecting a wood working factory for
the Luddington Woodenware company
of Luddington, Mich, which is to
locate in Wilmington, will be begun
within few days Some of the ma
terial has been shipped and more has

who has been at Childs Tavern, saws
that the company viii do the work un-
der the supervision OF an architect. The
site is on the fiat on the south side of

CONFERENCE FAILED.
Believed No Agreement Was Reached
at Buckingham Palace.

LONDON, July 24.-The Buckingham
palace conference met again today and
held the shortest of its four sessions
The meeting was called for IL. Discus
sion of the Ulster situation lasted only 40
minutes and the members then left the
palace. No statement was given out as
to the result of today's meeting, but it
was expected that Premier Asquith would
make an announcement in the House of
Commons in the course of the day.
The feeling was general in the lobbies
of the House of Commons that the con
ference had failed in it's immediate pur-
pose and that no definite agreement had
been reached.
The fact that the conference at
Buckingham palace between the lead
ers of the various political parties had
been rendered abortive by its failure
to agree on the area of Ulster to be
excluded from the control of the Dub
lin parliament was confirmed by Pre-
mier Asquith in the House Of Commons
today. His statement was brief. He
said: "The possibility of finding al
area to be excluded from the opera
tions of the Irish Home Rule bill was
considered, but the conferees' inabili
ty to agree in principle or in detail
on such an area brought the meeting
to close.

BOYS DROWNED
NEAR NORTHFIELD
Two Lads Who Went Berrying Disap
peared and Their Bodies Were
Found in Dog River.

NORTHFIELD, VT, July 24.-The
Dog river claimed "a double toll OF
youthful lives Wednesday evening
when Albert Bussiere, 10, and Medic
Bussiere, -, sons Of John Bussiere Of
Gouldsville, were drowned while play
ing about a raft in the river only q
few rods from their home, one of the
bodies being recovered at midnight and
the other at O'Clock yesterday morn
ing after an all-night search.
The two boys went berrying and on
returning home they sold the berries
aud then started out to play, going to
the raft in the river as they had been
accustomed to do. The raft was near
the red bridge, about 100 rods from
their home and within 10 rods of
some houses located near the bank of
the river.
Nobody saw the drowning, so far
as known, and nothing was known of
it until the failure Of the boys to re-
turn home by O'Clock Wednesday
night caused search to be instituted
The search led to the river but it was
several hours before the first body was
recovered in about 10 feet of water
The discovery of that body made it
almost certain that the other would be
found in the river, too; and the
search was redoubled but was fruit
less until o'clock in the morning
when the second body was located anc
brought to the surface.
Health Officer S. II. Kent was call
ed from this village to Gouldsville AT
midnight ON the finding of the first
body and he ordered the removal OF
the body to the fathers home, anC
the second body also was taken there
soon after its recovery.
The mother of the boys is dead. The
father, John Bussiere, is stonecutter
and is employed at the N. Pelaggi
Go. plant in this village. There is ont
other son in the family and six daugh
tiers.

ATTITUDE OF VILLA

Gen. Carranza Has Indicated His Will

Negotiations Bryan Hopeful as
Usual.
WASHINGTON, July "a - Reginaldo
Cepeda, senator from the state of Goa
hula, and intimate friend of Gen Car |
rama, has been selected by Provisional
President Carbajal to negotiate the trans
fer of the government at Mexico City to
the Constituencies. Mr.. Cepeda, who
was in hiding in Mexico City during the
Huerta dictatorship, left Vera Cruz yes
terday for Tampico to meet Gen. Carran-
"a. He has full instructions and authority
to arrange for the transfer of government
Jose Castellot, personal representative
of Mr.. Carbajal, conveyed this informa
ton to Secretary Bryan in Washington
yesterday. Messrs. Mangel, .Novelo and
Ureta, who, it had been supposed, would
constitute the Carbaial commission, it
was learned merely volunteered their ser
vices in smoothing the way to an agree
ment, and have no credentials or author
ity from Carbajal.
As soon as Mr.. Cepeda is received by
Gen. Carranza an armistice will be for
malIy signed as the first step in the nego-
tiations. Gen. Carranza has indicated to
! the American government his willingness
to declare a truce during the negotiations,
and the Carbajal government is anxious
to do likewise.
| The Carbajal envoy has been instructed
| to ask for only two things complete
amnesty for political offenders and guar
antees of protection to the lives and prop
erty of the Mexican people generally. No
political share or consideration in the
1 new administration is desired by the Car
! baial government.
While Washington agents of Carranza
/ have said he was disinclined to grant am
nesty, the speech yesterday of the consti-
nationalist chief at Victoria, Mex, and
other reliable advices show that he will
declare an amnesty, though the cOnstitu-
tiOnalist government will reserve the
right to punish those who We're directly
responsible for the assassination of Ma
dero and Suarez Most of those implicat-
ed, however, have left Mexico City.

confidence that there would be no diff

Gen. Carranza and Provisional President
| Carbajal. In that respect the situation
is considered brighter than it has been
for months. but two other factors in the
problem-Nilla and Zapata-are causing
considerable anxiety.
President Wilson yesterday said. how
ever that he was sure Villa would not
cause any trouble. Secretary Bryan made
public dispatches from George c. Cora
Tiers, special representative OF the state
department with Villa, saying the fight
ing general would not break with Car
rama; but nevertheless apprehension in
