 Washington, June rc.--Officials of The Washington government tonight characterized the Mexican situation as extremely delicate.
 10 the mediation conference which will be resumed tomorrow at Niagara Falls, hut aIso applied to conditions In north ern Mexico growing out of the action of General Villa in demanding complete military control in the campaign against General Huerta.
 Hope for mediation however, was not abandoned according to persons in close touch with the administration, and this hope was said to be largely based on developments in the constltutionalst ranks. the view being held here that per- sonal squabbles among Carranzas fol- lowers had been npped and that this en- hanced the chance of an agreement being reached on a provisional President of Mex Q and that internal Mexican hostiIi- ties might be checked. Huerta's Niagara Falls delegates having failed to induce the United States to accept their so- called compromise candidate for the pro- visional President, it was reported here, might yield to some one suggested by the United States. even if he bore the stamp of the constitutionalists, in order to hold up the military campaign against Mexico City.
 Credence Given Report
 Credence was given here to reports from the Mexican border that General Villa had proposed to Carranza that there be division of civic and military operations, Villa to command the mili- tary and Carranza to remain in charge of governmental forces. Messages are known to have come from Villa to friends in tile United States in which Villa ex- plained that his action in imprisoning some of Carranza's subordinates was not direct slap at the first chief, but merely to check more serious ruptures. Several messages were received at the state department indicating that the diff ferences between Carranza and Villa had been patched up.
 The chief subject discussed today in official quarters here, ana also among Carfanzas agents m Washington, was the action of General Villa in Chihuahua. Information reaching officials here with respect to the arrest of constitutionalist officials there by Villas order was that Villa acted within his authority. It was asserted that Villa acted in his capacity as governor of Chihuahua.

Strange Criminal Substitu- ton Believed Unearthed
 In San Francisco
ARRESTED FOR CRIME
 HE NEVER HEARD OF
Scandinavian Sailor Set Free After Being Jailed In Japan and Sent In Chains to United
 States

San Francisco, June 1s.-Shanghaied in Nagasaki, carried in irons across the Pa eihc on the United States transport Sheri- dan and thrust into San quentin peniten- tiary to serve three years under a name he could not pronounce for a crime he never had heard of Albert Johansen Scandinavian sailor was freed today the United States district court
 On June 27 he must appear again. for the return of writ of habeas corpus. appli- cation for which was filed today in his behalf but in the meantime he is free without bail, and there is no doubt in the minds of the United States authorities that his Imprisonment was the result of a substitution.
 The prisoners story was that he was drinking one night last month in water front saloon at Nagasalsi. Three strangers offered to stand him treat. He accept ed. The next morning he found himself at sea, prisoner
 No One Understood Him
 Nobody understood him when he tried 
 livered at san Quentin as James Rogers, alias Peter Grimes, there to serve three years for a sentence imposed my the treaty court at Shanghai for forgery. Ills celmate chanced to be fellow country man. and through him he got a hear ing.
 Today Johansen was given the album of prisoners portraits and asked if he could find anybody in it he remembered As soon as he came on Rogers portrait he said
 NagasalSi."
 Had Served One Year The real Rogers served a year in San Quentin for forgery. When released he won the interest of Capt Robert Dollar. q merchant of San Francisco, who sent him to China as clerk. Soon Rogers was posing as Captain Dollars son as he began to pass bad checks, was caught and convicted and sentenced to three i years in San Quentin. An officer of the court was to have taken him to Nagasaki, where he was to be placed on the Sheri- dan.
 | At that point the facts end, and theory begins The belief of federal officers is that Rogers got his guardian drunk. poured simplifying drug into Johansen' s drink and personally delivered him late at night on board the Sheridan, turning over to petty officer the papers he had stolen from the drunken guard and per sonaly receiving the papers of his own de- | livery.
 1 The department of state received messages early today from the United States consuls at Shanghai and Ma gasaki confirming the substitution story and later news of Grimes ar rest. Preston was told that Grimes could not be extradited, but that the Japanese government had given as- surances that 1t would prosecute the forger.
 l Preston was requested to gather all evidence possible from Johansen and forward it to Nagasaki.

whose name IL familiar on both sides

to paralysis. following heart trouble
which attacked him few weeks ago.
Archbishop Qufgley was present at
the bedside shortly before Father Dor.
ney became unconscious.
Father Dorney, often called the
king OF the Stockyards." was one of
the strongest and most picturesque
characters in the west. 35, -
thousands. he had the power for thir-
ty-five years Of the ruler Of q princi-
pality In one Of the greatest Industrial
centers In the world-the packing
house district Of Chicago. His pres
ttge extended to the white house in
warrington, and on q. memorial oc-

Irish leaders on this side Of the At

Perhaps the meeting ,of Parnell and
Father ,Dorney in the hous4lof com.
mons at london will be the public
incident toll longest remembered in
the civic life Of the priest. Father
Dorney It was who there delivered to
the Irish parliamentary leader the
documents which showed that the in
former Pigott's accusations against
Parnell were based; on forgery. The
Pigott charges which formed an elab-
crate attempt. to link Parnell with
crime upon crime. had threatened to
bring about the expulsion of Parnell
from the commons and to cause the
wrecking Of homo rule for Ireland.
Largely as the result Of Father Dor
ney's successful mission, the prosecu-
tion suddenly collapsed ae,d Pigott not
long, after committed suicide in Spain.
Father Dorney had been entrusted
with the documents by his lifelong
friend, Alexander sullivan, president

Plan FOR TRADE
COMMISSION s
NOW COMPLETE
Whole Theory is the crea-
ton Of Efficient and In
dependent Body.
PUBLICITY MATTER
UNDER IT'S CONTROL
That Feature is Lett Entirely to tho
Discretion of the Board-Biu Has
Received Approval of Almost the
Full Committee.

Washington, March 16.-The inter.
state trade commission bill, bearing
the approval Of President Wilson and
Attorney General McReynolds. was
made public today following many
conferences among the members of
the house interstate commerce COM
mittee.
The democrats expect this measure
to command substantial republican
support and an effort probably will be
housenlade soon to bring about con-
cert of action between the senate and
mouse on this phase on the part or
the administration program Of. com
merce regulation and antitrust legis-
lation. The new bill was unanimous
ly agreed upon by It's trainers, q sub
committee Of democrats and republi-
cans headed by Representative Cow
ington Of Maryland. and it is approv-
ed by practically the full commit
tee.
"The whole theory of the creation
Of the commission" said Mr. Coving-
ton today. has been to make It an
eficient independent body. In most
of the matters Of publicity it has en-
tire control Of the facts gathered.
Publicity is left to its discretion, and
the bill contains ample authority for
1t to prevent the disclosure. Of these
necessary trade secrets valueless to
the public in promoting competitive
business but which when disclosed,
simply afford opportunities for injur-
ious Use by competitors.
Powers of investigation, safeguard
ed by proper constitutional Limitations
against unlawful searches and seiz,lros
are taken from new subordinate de-
partmen under the control Of the ex-
ecutive and given to this non-partisan
body. n
'.The bill would transfer all the
powers and duties ,of the bureau OF
corporations and the commissioner Of
corporations to the proposed commits
sion OF three members, presidential
appointees subject to confirmation,
whose salaries would be ST, 900 an
nually each; Only two Of the commis.
BILL. from which, the CovingtoH, hi
't1iff VAriousfy.s had prosaded u fo,ii
five commissioners and that the pres
cnt commissioners Of corporations
should be, automa tically chairman OF
the new commission. The new bill
makes no mention Of the commission
or Of corporations. 1t makes the fixed
tenure Of the commissioners six years
and the commission would choose Its
own chairman. l' e
The covington bill defines an cor
porations all bodies Incorporated un-
der the law, and Joint stock associa-
ttons and all other associations having
shares Of capital or other capital stock
or organized to carry on business for
profit.
