M|LITANTS BLACKAA|L
ROYALTY OF BRITAIN
Queen Mary'S Attempt to Buy
Immunity From Annoyance
Is Spurned, However.

LONDON. June 10.-The latest OF
the police raids on suffrage head
quarters has resulted in the astound-
ing discovery that several members
Of the royal family, including even
the prince of Wales, have been regu-
lar contributors TO the militant
funds. There is evidence to show
that an offer was made in behalf of
Queen Mary, but the offer was re-
fused The contributions 1t mast be
stated at once, do not by any means
Indicate that royalty favors the mill
tants: on the contrary the situation
amounts to the payment of black
mail for immunity from militant at
tacks.
When the raids were made and bits
OF evidence were found the govern
ment announced that it would begin
a series of prosecutions on a charge
of supporting a criminal organization
bu! the examination of the lists has
disclosed the facts that among the
subscribers are members Of the royal
family.
Further investigation showed that
sll these were immunity payments
while as for the Prince of Wales, he
has so frequently argued with his
father and mother in favor of vo-
man suffrage that il is uncertain in
what category TO pJt his contribu-
tions. 1t is learned that the sub
scription from the queen was $4,000
upon the militant organ
ization agreeing to end all annoyance
TO their majesties. but the subscrip-
ton was refused.
When the royal names were found
in the list the government had 10
give up the idea of prosecuting the
and is now considering
prosecuting the miitants on charges
of blackmail. but the royal and noble
will, naturally, be unwill-
ing TO be complaining witnesses and
without them there is nothing to
show that menaces have been prof
fered.

ago because of robberieS Of traction
company property. 1t is said dis
charged employees had also threatened
him.
The field where the body was found

would idicate that he had had a tus-
sic with anyone and there were no

MEDIATION HEADQ
Niagara Balls, June 10-That another
difference has developed in the medi-
alton conferences became known today
following a meeting Of the A. Is. C..
enVOys and the MEXICAN delegates.
The dispute relates TO the plans that
have been outlined for the establish
ment of a provisional government in
Mexico 10 succeed that Of Pres.
Huerta-
The mediation delegates are stand
ing firmly against the suggestion from
the Americans that Gen. Carranza be
allowed to dominate the provisional
organization They viii oppose this as
long as possible, but It is understood
that they are being gradually per-
suaded TO yield on this point rather
than endanger a peaceful settlement.
Senor Emilio Rabasa, head OF the
Mexican delegates taking part in the
mediation conference viii not allow
his name to be suggested for the pro-
visiouaI presidency, in spite of the or
ganized demand presented from Mex
icO City that ne be chosen at the tenn
pOrary nOn-partisan head of the gov
ernmenL
Won't Accept Office.
Under no circumstances would I
accept anything in the way of public
office ne declared emphaucally to-
day when told that his friends at the
Mexican capital had launched move
ment in his behalf.
Il am here TO serve the good of my
country. L would nOt under any cir
cumstances take Office as a result OF
these mediation proceedings"
Senior RabaSas fat denial OF pO-
liiCal ambition Is significant of the ex-
.reme care with which the Mexican
delegates anG the mediatOrS, are now
approaching the Vital point in the ne
gOtiations-the agreement upon the
man who shall Ule Mexico between
the date of the pacihCatiOn and the in
auguratIOn of a regularly elected pres
ident The men best qualified to
speak with authority unite in saying
today that this delicate point has only
been approached IL has not yet been
reached. Upon The ability of the two
sides To agree upon the man for pro-
visional president rests the success of
all the work done and 10 be done here
this summer.
Ground Must BE Cleared.
"A great deal OF ground must be
cleared and foundations must be laid
deep for SO great a structure as a
new government for Mexico, said one
of these authorities today. we are
building with a view 10 making the
structure endure, the whole work must
stand or fail 10y our ability 10 ind the
men who shall form the provisional
government. We have not developed
the work as vet 20 the point where any
"a agreement or disagreement upon

the most important of recent years. The only
officers to be elected were two members Of the
executive board. This Of itself was an aid to
work. 1t eliminated electioneering.
The four important matters taken up ana
acted upon by the session have been good
roads. distribution Of the school fund, equal
suffrage and taxation. None of these are new
subjects. The Grange has advocated them for
years. This year they renewed their position
on them and made their sentiments stronger,
if possible. than ever before.
The resolution adopted in regard to highway
improvements was strong one. It was pass
ed Wednesday and was in line with the atti-
tude taken by nearly all Pomona and subordi-
nate Oranges in the State during the past year.
1t declared, emphatically. against a road i'm
provement program which constructs roads for
advertising purposes only.
In the matter of the school fund the Grange
has again taken decided stand in support of
the States distributing it according to actual
attendance, rather than upon the valuation of
city or town.

Austria followed up the German announce
