HOPE IS EXPRESSED ULTIMATE SUCCESS
 OF PEACE FARLEY


 Washington, June 23-Hope for the restoration of peace in Mexico through diplomacy was rekindled in admins tration circles here today by the out look that the eonstitut1onaHstS would send delegates to confer with members of the Huerta mission, from whom they long have held aloof. Secretary Bryan declined to discuss detailed proposals of the meeting. Nevertheless, there was a distinct air of optimism appar- ent here over expectations that the me- pdiators might be able to announce late today tomorrow the personnel of the constitutionalist delegation and the ference.
 One menace to the success of the plan, it was pointed out, was the re-. cent breach between Villa and Car ranza, the constitutionalist chiefs. Whether their differences had been sufficiently composed so that a con stitutionalist delegation could work without enobarrassm ent was a question that the Washington government was said to be seeking to determine to- day.
 Plans for the meeting of the Car ranza and Huerta representatives do not contemplate an armistice at this time. Not until they had reached some definite agreement over the es- tabIishment of a provisional govern ment would there be an attempt to call a halt to hosti1ities. Hope was expressed that, if such a stage of understanding were reached, any break between Villa and Carranza would be so adjusted as to bring all revofu ton ary forces within the scope Of an armistice.
 Luis Cabrera, the constitutionalist representative in Washington, who conferred here with Minister Naon. one of the mediators last Friday. was said to be in wire communication with Carranza at Salti1Io over details of the proposed conference. MT. Cabrera early today declined to discuss the re- port.
 Fernando CaIderon, who has been in consultation with Carranza at SaItilIo. was expected to reach Washington to-, day. It was said he might head the delegation to confer with the Huerta. representatives

Commission Hastens
 Crescent Ave. Paving

The paving commission took steps last night to complete the work of paving Crescent avenue, intimating that the> di1atory tactics of the Con necticut Company were responsible for the delay. It appeared also that the director of public works had failed to lay curb and gutter
 President Rogers called attention to the absence of Director Courtades and suggested that it was his duty to at tend meetings of the board.
 MT. Rogers then moved that the contract for paving Crescent avenue be closed. The action was taken.
 Sewers in Wayne street Gregory street, South avenue, Howard avenue, Bostwick avenue and Morris street and across property of the Crane Valve Company, ordered by the common council, were authorized to be offered for open bid.
 Applications for the position of sewer inspector were received from former Building Commissioner Will liam H. R. DuBois, John J. Devine, William II. Heating, Thomas B. Hall len, George E. Flanagan, John A. Casey and B. F. Hastings, and order ed placed on file where choice might later be made by Director Courtade as work necessitated.

Pro- lessor Fisher scdd;
 1T find that the Conpouncee confer e4nce is taken by some. as a meeting to advance my political interests. Only in a conditional sense is that true. All those who are responsible for calling the conference are ready-and none reader than Ito support with all their might any other candidate for governor who Will stand straight and strong for a genuinely progressive democracy in Connecticut None of them believes that amy mans ambf- tions or interests weigh much over against the interests of thes state or the party.
 For my own part shall not be a. candidate upon amy ticket, unless it shall appear to others as well as to myself that my candidacy is the best way to promote a liberal public policy in Connecticut"

BOARD WOULD
SEE K|CKERS
PERSONALLY
Commissioners Invite Tax-pay-
erS League to State TToub-
les in Open Meeting.
BODY NOT WORKING IN SECRET

That the board of county commits
sioners is ready and willing to hear
any complaints the Taxpayers league
may have to make in public, and dis
cuss these matters in order that any
wrongs may be righted was the sense
Of resolution adopted by the board
this morning.
Members of the board have been
discussing for some little time the
practice of the league in sending
communications to the commission
ers, without giving opportunity for
taking up in person whatever griev-
ances may be stated.
This morning resolutions were
adopted, requesting County Attorney
Welsh to write a letter to the league
iuggesting that in the future all COM
munications be made in person, and
that the board was willing to meet
either President J. b. Hunter, or any
ether official at any time.
81 would like to suggest" said
Chairman Snyder. that the commits
ioners are glad to meet any men,
ber of the Taxpayers league at any
time. We would get along better, if
instead of sending letters three pages
long, they would send a representa-
i've in person to present any griev-
lnce they may have. | am suggest
ing this in the interest of the tax
payers. We will be glad to meet the
Taxpayers league at any time, and
discuss anything that will be of bene-
tit to the people and taxpayers of
this county. We would like to talk
things over when there is any griev-
ance Everyone knows that this
board does not meet in seclusion-
we are doing nothing here to be
ashamed of, everything is open and
above board, and we want to have
the Taxpayers league meet here with
us. instead of encumbering the files
with lot of letters"
Commissioner Briggs seconded the
suggestion, and it was stated that
Commissioner Kluge, who had not ar
rived yet had also favored such pro-
ceedure Attorney Welsh as conse-
quently instructed to draw up
stiff letter appraising the Taxpay-
ers' league of the wishes of the
board.

New Express Rates
Effective Today

The new express rates mark re-
duction of about sixteen per cent and
became effective today. There was
very little perceptible increase in bus
mess at the local offices. General
Agent Boyes said today that all the
schedules had not been received. No
change is made in the fruit rates, with
the exception that hereafter fruit may
go to nearby towns within the block
OF the common point, for the same
rate Before an additional charge was
made from the common point. such as
Omaha, Chicago, New York. Now sta
tions within the block will be reached
at the same price,
The state rates will not be announc-
ed for several months as yet.
This morning, grip weighing twen-
ty pounds was shipped to an Oklaho-
ma city at less than the parcels post
rate. Mr.. Boyes was of the opinion
that the reduction would be felt more
in the shipment to this city of COM
modities from the east.

the banquet was served. The i'm

talk on Failures" alluded to some
of his own in early life and took oc-
oasion to express the thanks and the
good wishes OF the school to the de-
parting students.
Miss Cora Briggs closed the re-
sponses with a delightful address on
Our Boys" after which the party
left the banquet table and returned
to Margery hall where dancing was
enjoyed until late hour.
The affair, as whole, was fit
ting climax to successful years
work in the school and Prof. Hoel and
his able assistants are to be con
graduated on the results of their en-
deayors during the past term.
II was unanimously the opinion of
the guests of Prof, Hoel and the fac
ulty that the entire evening could
not have been more thoroughly en-
