All in One Row Boat

The party visited Cramerhill. on the
New Jersey side of the river, yester-
day, and hired a large row boat They
were more than 100 yards from the
shore when it was noticed that the
craft was filling rapidly. Despite their
efforts to bail the boat, it soon be-
came evident that unless the load was
lightened, the boat would sink be-
fore the shore could be reached, so
the three sprang overheard. In spite
of the heroic sacrifice the boat cap
sized shortly after the three men dis
appeared in the water and the four
other occupants were thrown into the
river Nevill and German, however,

ed the girls as they were about to sink
for the second time, and held them un-
til the party was rescued by motor

Barney OIdfieId, First American,

Indianapolis, May S1.-Rene Thomas,
driving a French car. won the fourth
annual 50o-niile race on the Indianapolis

was Barney Oldheld, who crossed the
wire in fifth place.
Thomas time was Oh. 3m. .99s, main
tanning an average speed of S2.47 miles
an hour. The former record of 6h. 21m.
OBS was established by Joe Dawson in
1912. The new record established Sat
urday was due in large measure to
the ideal weather conditions.
Thomas has done a lot of racing in
France, but has never captured any of
the big events like the Grand Prize.
So he has been regarded as being in the
second rank when compared to Boillot,
Goux and some of the ether French
men. However, the manner in which he
handled his car in this race puts him
on a par with the best drivers in the
world.
Arthur w. Duray finished second.
seven minutes after the winner Albert
Guyot. teammate of Thomas. was the
third driver to be given the checkered
flag and Jules Goux, winner of the 1913
race, finished in fourth place, six min
utes ahead of Oldfeld.
Six men were injured none seriously,
during the contest. Joe Dawson suf-
fered a broken collarbone and minor
injuries when his car turned over on
the south turn after trying to dodge
the wrecked machine of Ray Gilhooley.
We're Barnes, Dawson's mechanician,
was hurt. and Gilhooley and Nino

minor injuries. Jean Chassagne and AL
bert Mitchell, handling an English car,

gates for the Constitutionalists should
the mediating ENJOYS determine to
broaden the scope of the conference by
admitting agents of Gen. Carranza s
forces.
1t was stated tonight that no an
swer had come to the CarranZa note,
dispa tched Thursday. in which the
mediators were informed that the con-
let in Mexico ought not to be dealt
with in the absence of representatives
of the Constitutionalisr cause.
Should the invitation be extended it
is understood the Constitutional rep
resentatives would ask time to visit
Gen. Carranza for instructions before
appearing at Niagara Falls.
While officially uniformed as to
what is going on behind the confer
ence doors at the Falls or the names
of the Mexicans who are being consid
cred as appropriate for the provisional
government, the Constitutionalist lead
ers were plainly interested in Felix
Diaz, the Presidential candidate,
whose representatives have twice ap-
peared at Niagara Falls and Vasquez
Gomez, a prominent Mexican, who
was an adherent of Madero, but who
has not allied himself with the pres
ent Constitutionalist movement under

ascension of Huerta to power and has
since lived in the United States,

Wilson and Bryan Confer

President Wilson and Secretary Bry-
an held a brief conference late in the
day, and it is understood communica-
lions bearing on the late developments
at Niagara Falls were forwarded to
Commissioners Lamar and Lehman.
They were strictly in confidence. The
belief in official circles here tonight
however was that the publication of the
Carranza note to the South American
diators thereto might be delayed for
some days, pending the further efforts
on the part of this government to bring
influence to bear which would assure
some sort of representation at Niagara
When Luis Cabrera, whom Gen. Car
rama hurriedly summoned from Europe,
reached Washington he was met by
Rafael Zubaran, minister of the interior
in the Carranza cabinet and Jose
Vasconcelos, a second emissary of the
northern Mexico leader. The three were
together throughout the day and also
were in tosch with their legal advisers,
through whom they maintained COM
munication with the Washington gov
eminent. Though the Constitutionalist
agents refused to discuss their deliber-
atoms it became known that they were
chiefly concerned wit hthe Niagara Falls
mediation conference. Cabrera and Vas

BRANDT and

IN This CITY
Augusta Police Are
After ThOmastOn
Fugitives
Baker Identified by Woman in
Waiting Room

A question which was of more or
less concern to the police Sunday aft
ernoon and evening was whether or
not two of the convicts who made their
escape last Thursday afternoon from
the State prison at Thomaston were
in Augusta Sunday One reason for
the belief that they might possibly
have been here was the report that
a woman whose name was not learned
saw or thought she saw Peter Baker
in the L., A & W. waiting room at
about o'clock; that she knew him
personally and recognized him, al
though he had shaved off his NOUS
tache; that after she entered the
room he left 1t. This report did not
come to the police for some time aft
erward
Another report was received about
O'Clock that a Mr.. Church thought
he saw two of the men, Baker and
Harry Brandt, at the Western avenue
junction, and in response to this Off
Ger Witham went to that place but saw
nothing of any suspicious characters.
The police were on the lookout Sun
day night, watching the trains in hope
that the men if they were in this vi
entity might be picked up.

Huerta governments as to proposed
terms of settlement of the recent in
ternational difficulties and compost
ton of the internal Mexican situation,
prominent agents of the Constitution
alist movement in Mexico conferred
here today with Luis Cabrera as the
center of interest.
Officials of the Washington govern
ment, though in communication dur
ing the day with American represen-
tatives at the peace conference de-
clined to discuss their attitude as to
the reception of representatives of
Carranza in the mediation negotia-
tions, but it was again declared that
this government still was firmly of the
mind that no protocol which would
outline terms of settlement of the
general plan for Mexico should be
signed until agents of General Carran-
"a had been given an opportunity to
participate in the deliberations.
