Washington, May 6.-The three

ico's civil strife as well as he, inter
national difficulties, announced last
night that the first formal conference
with representatives Of the different
parties interested in mediation"
would be held at Niagara Falls. Ont,
on the 18th. Secretary Bryan made
the announcement for the three dip
lomats in brief statement which
read as follows.
THE mediators have notified the
different parties that Niagara Falls,
Ont. has been selected as the PLACE.
where the mediators will confer with
representatives of the different par
ties interested in the mediation. and
that May IS had been fixed as the
date when the conference will be-
GIN
The language OF the declaration at
tracted attention. for although the
ENJOYS had in note earlier said
they would withdraw their invitation
for a Carranza representative unless
an armistice between the constitut-
ionalists and the Huerta forces wer,
arranged, no specific parties to the
negotiations were named in the state
department announcement.
1t was lately learned authoritative
ly that the reason for this was due
to the fact that further effort was
being made to induce Gen. Carranza
to send a representative. 1t was un-
derstood that the mediators had fur
Their explained their position TO Gen.
Carranza and were still hopeful that
he might be represented at the ncgo-
tiations without seeking to limit his
agent to discussion OF any particular
subjects.
The American government has not
yet chosen its representatives. Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretaries Bryan
and Lane discussed many names yes
terday. They are seeking to get
men of training in diplomatic affairs,
and inasmuch as it will take several
days for the Huerta ENJOYS to reach
here, some of the intervening time
will be taken by the president in con-
sdering men for the important mis-
sion.
AS yet there has been no formal
basis of negotiation. the United
States or Huerta not having set
forth their demands. It was learned
yesterday from high administration
official that in all likelihood the Unit
ed States would not confine itself
now to mere settlement Of the in
cidents at Tampico which provoked
the present crisis, but would aim TO
bring about a solution of the wholS
Mexican problem, so that it could
recognize a constitutionally establish
| ed government, which would be able
to restore tranquility in the northern
republic.
The disposition of Gen. Carranza to
eliminate himself from the media
ton proceedings, if it should include
a discussion of Mexicos internal
problems, has not met with the favor

large bone in the right lower leg. He
was brought in DIR. l.. n. Ross auto
mobile TO his home on Gage street
where the physician ascertained that
the injury consisted OF . simple fac
ture.
The accident happened at Wood
ford Hollow. Accompanied by George
Mallory, Mr. White left the village in
the morning for days fishing.
While wading the stream he slipped
upon n wet stone and fell in such a
manner as to twist his rightleg He
was wearing heavy wollen socks in
side OF high laced boots. The frac-
ture Is located just az the point on
the leg reached by the top OF the
boot.
When he realized that he had been
crippled by the fall. Mr.. White shout
ed to his companion for assistance
He was assisted to drag himself
from the water and then the fisher
man who still had two legs al his dis
posal hurried to the house OF Mrs.

for a physician.

jured man beside the stream. II
was necessary TO assist Mr.. White
in a trip of some dis ance in order to
reach the highway and il was also
necessary to cross a branch of the
stream.
The difficulty was solved by manu-
featuring a crutch from a crotched
stick. With man on each
side and the crutch to help
out on the side of the brok
en- limb the tn zee slowly made
their way ove- the heaps OF small
boulders and through the stream to
the highway. All three were soak
ing wet when they reached the road
When he received the telephone
message that Mr.. White had been in
jured. DR.. Ross at once started for
Woodfo-d in his automobile. He did
not wait to put on his chains, al
though the roads we're slippery be-
cause OF the rain. While passing the
Guideboard at lively clip a fright
ened hen tried to cross the road in
front of the machine. The automo
bile was too fast for the hen which
then and there gave up the ghost.
When the physician and his patti
ent on their way back to the vii
lage reached the locality of tho hen
killing, they found a delegation of
women, one of whom owned the hen,
gathered by the side of the road pre-
pared to demand an explanation of
the physician for his fast driving.
When they were informed that the
physician was on his way to the as
sistance of an injured man their in
dignation Immediately evaporated.
