TEDDY READY TO

Ex- President 'Boils Over
and Spouts of His
Intentions.
PRESIDENCY rs AIM
Asserts Conviction ''COuntry Is In I'm.
healthy State and Majority Of Men"
Want Him TO Cure twill Not
Be Side. Tracked.

Southampton, June 49, Even
sooner than was anticipated Colonel
Roosevelt "boiled over" today and in
an exclusive interview with the cor
respondent of the International News
service just before sailing for Amer
lea aboard the Imperator announced
some of the. most important things he
will and will not do on his arrival
in New York.
Briefly summarized here are his
iptentions-and his reasons therefore:
He will not run for the goverAoship
OF New York, because he has not time
to be sidetracked in Albany again.
Accept nomination for the United
States senatorship, because the sug-
gestion is palpably preposterous.
Make any speech-making for any
party or, individual, himself included
because his physician will not let
him.
He will accept the Progressive
party's nomination for the presl-
dency, because he is convinced the
country is in a most unhealthy state
and the majority of the men OF the
nation want him to cure 1t.
Obviously, the man who has Deen
declaring many times a day that ne
would make absolutely no statement
on politics until after his return home
could not completely forget me
declarations-and he proved ne hao
them in mind by forbidding the cor
respondent a dozen times during the
interview to quote him on subjects
about which he talked posltively
enough to make impossible his dong
anything less than once more com
ing before the nation sas candidate
for president.

ANSWER MEXICANS.
Carranza and Rebels Oifer Only rs.
cape from War In Mexico.

Niagara Falls, Ontario, June 49,
Carranza and the rebels offer the only
escape from war and bloodshed in
Mexico. This is the chief argument
advanced by the American delegates
at the mediation conference in sup
port of President Wilson's espousal of
the constitutionalists, according to a
statement made public tonight by
Justice Lamar and Frederick w.
Lehaman, the American representa-
tives.
The American statement is in reply
to the Mexican note, given to the
press yesterday by Seniors Rabasa, Ell
guerdo and Rodriguez, in which they
attacked the Wilson scheme of turning
them over to the rebels.
The Americans also urge rebel
provisional government on the ground
that il neutral" executive was
selected for provisional president the
constitutiOnalists would repudiate
the man and press forward with re-
newed zeal to Mexico City, with all the
loss OF blood and life that may in
volve.
AS pointed out exclusively in these
dispatches, the commission proposed
by the Americans is for supervising
the election with a bipartisan board,
suggested to guard against fraud or
the usurpation of the polls by dicta-
tor.
Despite the dispatches from Wash
ington that President Wilson had
thrown over Carranza and turned to
Villa, the American delegates made
no mention of this twist in the me-
diation tangle tonight. With the re-
turn of Dr.. Moan, the Argentine me-
diator, tomorrow or Saturday, a full
A B C conference will be convened.
This session will mark the crisis OF
the peacemaking negotiations. Unless
the Americans or Mexican make some
concession mediation is at an end.
A rumor gained strength tonight
that the American delegates had been
instructed by Washington to look for
some constitutionalist not identified
with the military operations Of the
rebels, who would span the breach
between Villa and Carranza. Further
than this. the American deleg3 .es will
not go until the Mexican delegates
break away from the conference.
Washington, June 18.-The admin
istration has adopted General Pancho
Villa as the "liberator" of Mexico
and dropped General Carranza with a
bump. It is hoped that Villa will he
tractable when he learns of his favor
with this government. and that ne
will be willing to send delegates to
the Niagara conference.
No attempt was made today at the
white house to conceal the admin
istration's satisfaction over the down.
fall of Carranza. His obdurancy in
refusing to yield to an armistice
agreement brought upon him the dis
like of the president and Villas ac-
ton in pushing him aside has given
a ray Of hope for the administrations
peace program.
For the present the contingency tnat
further dissensions may arise In the
ranks of the Constituencies has
been blinked aide.

MARINE SIGNALING
APPARATUS AIMED
AT SEA DISASTERS
Electric Ocilator Announces
Other Vessels, Locates
Icebergs, Indicates Sea
Depths and Transmits
Messages.

Through the application OF marine
signaling apparatus, which during recent
tests has demonstrated material possbili-
ties, it is believed the dangers of great
sea disasters will soon be manifestly di-
minished. An electric oscilator which
announces the presence of another ves-
sci, locates icebergs, indicates sea depths
and provides for the transmission of sub
marine telephone and telegraph messages
is an invention which is now being
watched with great interest by navisa-
tors
The device consists principally Of a
2i-inch metal diaphragm attached to a
cylindrical case, within which Is an cleo
tromagnet actuating a copper sounder
The oscIllators. when in permanent posi-
ton, are placed inside of ships skin.
beneath the water line, on both the port
and starboard sides. Vibrations Of the
diaphragm amounting to movement of
one thousandth part Of an inch and re-
peated with great rapidity throw out
sound waves under the water which may
be caught by the receiving apparatus on
another vessel Signals of this kind have
been heard at distance Of 90 miles
whlle at shorter ranges numerous tclo-
graphic conversations have been carried
on successfully. In one instance tho ex-
perimenters actually talked between two
ships.
In locating icebergs it is the echo which
gives warning of the presence of danger.
with stopwatch it is possible To est-
mate quite accurately the distance of
these barriers. this being accomplished In
one instance after the steam whistle on
revenue cutter had failed to obtain an
echo when within $50 yards Of berg.
While the fog horn has been of certain
assistance to the mariner, it also has been
an instrument which has terrified him.
1t has told him that he was near danger.
but rarely whether he was headed for IL
or running from it, because the air cur
rents made il impossible to determine ab-
solutely whether the sound was coming
from one direction or from another.
The osciIlator sending it's vibrations
the water eliminates this. Bv
listening from both sides of a shin IL is
easy to determine from what direction the
