Rye, N. Y, June 4.-The third race
of the initial series for the Americas
cup defence candidate yachts was won
off here today by the flag officers
sloop Resolute, after the Vanitie with
drew while in the lead in order to as
sist in the rescue of two of her sea-
men who had been washed overheard
during the first leg of the race. 1t was
disappointing ending of what had
promised to be the best contest to date
between the two 70-footers, and came
as the climax of day of thrills for
the yachtsmen in attendance on the
cup sloops.

Washington, June General Car
rama, Constitutionalist leader, tonight
had not disclosed his next move in
the diplomatic negotiations toward
composition of Mexican affairs. At
Constitutionalist headquarters here no
immediate action was expected. Raj
ael Zubaran. General Carranza's chief
representative in Washington, said: +
II transmitted the note to Gen. Car
rama last night. He, l am sure, will
give 1t all the necessary attention and
consideration before sending an an
swer to the mediators so that 1t will
probably be two or three days before
the response is dispatched"
John Lind, who represented the state
department in dealing with the Con-
stitutionalists, conferred with the
members of the agency here through
out the day, urging them to use their
influence to have their chieftain make
favorable reply to the proposals of the
South American mediators.
While mediation waited on Carran-
"a, the subject of ammunition bound
from the United States for Gen Car
ranza's forces was uppermost in the
discussion in official quarters, and II
became known that Admiral Badger
had been cabled to keep watch on the
Mexican Federal gunboat in the vi
cinity of Puerto Mexico in view of re-
ports from Mexico City that Huerta
proposed to prevent, if possible, the
landing at Tampieo of the munitions
en- route to Carranza on the Cuban
steamer Antilla.

Throughout Country

Washington, d. c., June 4.-(Spe-
ciaI-New England senators and
representatives are not supposed to
have as many little errands to run for
their constituents as those from some
of the newer states of the Union. 1t
remains to be demonstrated, however,
whether this holds true of the Maine
delegation in House and Senate at
Washington. For example, not long
ago Representative Kinds sent out
some letters to friends throughout his
district asking if their congressman
could not be of service to them in
matters at Washington. He re-
ceived a flood of responses, which
have kept him travelling and swelter-
ing from department to department
and from bureau to bureau for a fort
night.
The new income tax law, about
which there was SO much agitation for
awhile, has brought many inquiries
and is still bringing inquiries to the
Maine senators and representatives.
There was an interesting case in that
regard from the Honesty Grange Hall
association at Morrill,, down in Waldo
county. The association has taxable
assets, as was generally believed by
it's members, under the income tax
law. return was made but was
filed day or two late and this caused
members of the association a lot of
worry. The tax was paid, however.

case of the tardy report was pre-
scented before the commissioner of in
ternal revenue at the Treasury De-
partment. Senator Burleigh went

Mellen's Letter.

Telling of the letter in regard to the
Crank Trunk investigation to the
United States district attorney at New
York written by Mr.. Mellen in the
presence of E. D. Robbins, counsel
for the New Haven, and himself, Mr..
Ledyard said
THAT letter was not the letter of a
man accepting responsibility. 1t was
the letter of a man claiming inno-
cence."
Mr.. Ledyard took the stand as a
voluntary witness in the commits
sion's investigation into the New Ha-
ven's financial affairs, and was not
sworn. The subpoena issued for him
some time ago had been withdrawn,
but he urged that he be allowed to
make a statement. Earlier in the day
William Skinner completed his testi-
mony, begun yesterday. He said he
could not recall any instance in which
Mr. Morgan had tried to dominate the
board of directors and that Mr.. Nor
gans frequent trips to Europe kept
him from attending many of the meet
ings. He expressed the opinion that
the public often got better service
from railroads as a result of inter
locking directorates.
Directors Excused
George f. Baker, a director of the
New Haven, and Lawrence Minot. for
member of the board, who were pres
ent and ready to testify, were ex-
cused until next week. 1t is expected
that at the conclusion of Mr.. Led
yards statement tomorrow several of
the commissions examiners, who have
been inspecting the books of j. P.
Morgan & Co., and the records of the
late J. Pierpont Morgan in New York,
will be put on the stand.

London, June 4.-The King and
Queen held court at Buckingham pal
ace tonight, and in spite of all pre-
cautions, a militant Suffragette gained
access to their presence and caused an
interruption to the presentations.
AS she was passing the King, the
Suffragette dropped on her knees and
shouted:
Your Majesty, for Gods sake, do
not use force"
The woman was attired in court
dress and her action caused profound
establishment. She continued to ad-
monish the King, but her words were
inaudible as the conductor of the band

attending steam yachts to witness
what all expected would prove the
best of the trial races so far The
vanitie, because OF the clever work
of Capt. Dennis at the start, was well
in the lead and fairly scudding along
with her lee rail deep under the roll
ing waves.
Two Men Overheard
Quickly there came a change in the
marine picture, for the Vanitie hove
to and while sails snapped and spill
ed in the wind the crew was seen
rushing about the. steeply slapted
deck. The yachtsnen hurriedly adj
justed their marine glasses, searching
for sail or tackle that they felt sure
had torn loose. It proved to be far
more serious matter, for Alexander
Cochran's yacht had lost two men of
her crew overheard and the seanen
could be family seen far astern strug-
Cling to keep afioat in the rolling,
foaming wake of the sloop. There was
a rush of steamers and tugs in the
direction of the drowning men, who,
it was later ascertained. were Alex
johnson and Oscar Olsen. They were
having hard work to keep afloat and
were exhausted when finally picked
up, one by the tug John j. Timmins
and the other by the other members
of the Vanitie's crew. Aside from the
temporary effects of immersion, how
ever, neither seaman suffered from
the thrilling experience, but the race,
so far as the Vanitie was concerned,
was irretrievably lost, and soon the
Cochran yacht was headed for Glen
Cove while the Resolute swung around
the mark and completed the course,
a winner without opposition.

Reason for DELAY

The delay in the issuance of the
proclamation Is believed to have been
occasioned by some phase of the Nj
agara Falls conferences and by the
reported desire of Carranza formally
to establish himself as provisional
president at Saltillo, capital of the
state where he served as governor I'M
der the Madero government. General
Villa was reported today as preparing
to move south from Chihuahua City
to meet Carranza at Torreon and
thence to proceed south upon the cam
paigns against Zacatecas and San
Luis Potosi. In the meantime the Gre
alton of a new central military zone
in command of General Natera, which
was made yesterday by Carranza,
continued to cause much speculation
as to it's effect on Villas military
plans.
Semi. Official Statement
The opinions of those surrounding
Carranza regarding the three cornered
conferences at Niagara, was reflected
once more in a semi official statement
from Durango. The message follows;
Hamlet with Hamlet left out is
the way many of the Constitutionalist
leaders here expressed themselves re-
garding the conferences at Niagara
Falls. That a plan can be found to
settle interior affairs in Mexico with
out the participation of the Constitu-
tionalist government is regarded by
them as impossible. They point out
that the only party directly inter
ested in Mexico which has been rep
resented in the formation of the Nj
agara Falls plans, has been that of
Huerta. This party defeated by the
Constitutionalists at every point, is in
