 The playing of the youthful Georgian over Rotan today was sensational. lie drove with the accuracy of veteran his approach shots were almost perfect and his putting was consistent. On the other hand Rotan, who lowered over his opponent in stature and almost doubled him in years, was plainly off his play. He hooked his approach shots re- peatedly and in putting was weak
 In the other match, Whitney was forced to extend himself only once when Jacoby showed d flash during the after- noon. The New Orleans man was strong in driving and was just a little off on his work on the greens, but played a cautious game and was seldom in dan ger. The Dallas man was off on his long suit. his work with the irons. Ills approach shots frequently were bad, sometimes falling short and again he over ran.
 Large galleries followed both matches, with probably the largest crowd watching the play of Adair and Rotan. When the match ended on the fifteenth hole Adair's father, George W. Adair, took the boy on his shoulders and the crowd gave lusty hurrahs for the pluclxy youngster, the women *ead- Ing in the cheering.

 There were no conferences. The Amer ican delegates remained on the Ameri- can side studying various phases of the situation They are familiarizing them- selves with data Washington is sending about individuals mentioned for the new provisional government.
 All principals were anxious to hear some definite word about the constitutionalists for there can be no definite developments until their intentions are known.

Mexico City, June 5.-Esteva Ruiz, acting foreign minister gave out to the press tonigat his first formal state ment in several days regarding the peace conference at Niagara Falls. In il he declared negotiations are pro- ceeding favoraDly The text of the statement follows in part: "The impa- tience evidenced by some persons to know the result of the negotiations is unwarranted, but l can assure you that the said negotiations are in a most favora ble train. Inasmuch as within the last few days report has been launched that in the deliberations other influences than those of justice and patriotism have asserted themselves, l declare emphatically and categorical ly that the action of the three mediat- ing powers and the conduct of the plenipotentiaries have been from the outset and continues to be spontan- eous. noble and free from all extran- eous suggestions.
 "The prudence of the ambassador of Brazil and of the ministers of Argen- tina and Chile has been especially noticeable in the very form in which the mediation procedure has been or ganized-that is today-in the form of

 No messages relating to mediation were received at the constitutionalist headquar- ters here today.
 While government officials tonight refused to admit any knowledge of the movements of the schooner Sunshine, 1t generally was conceded that if the ves- sel had landed war munitions for the constitutionalists at Tampico, she would not be subject to any penalty so far as the United States was con cerned.
 The schooner cleared from Galveston for Havana, Cuba. and, according to information here, went directly to Tampico This was in violation of mar itime law, but as that law Is being en- forced at Tampico just now by the constitutionalists, the boat is in no danger on that score. The Sunshine is little vessel of 73 gross tons, S32 feet long and her home port is Hous- ton, Tex.

They went into the water up to their shoulders but as it was not deep at that point escaped without any more serious injury than a wetting. Mrs. CathcarI cut her hand somewhat also.

BIG MONEY INVOLVED IN
 NORTHERN COMMERCIAL CASE

From the Fairbanks News-Miner: United States Attorney Crossley this afternoon received a wire from the United States court of appeals at San Francisco that judgment in the case of the Northern Commer- cial company Vs. the government had been affirmed and that an opinion was being filed there to- day by the court.
 This is what is known as the steamer license case, in which the Northern Navigation company and the Northern Commercial company protested the payment of license money to the territory of Alaska on boats which piled between here and Canadian ports on the ground that they had already paid licenses in Canada. They have never paid any of these contested steamer licenses, taking the matter into the court here for adjudication. Judge Fuller in the lower court. Attor- the licenses to Alaska under the laws governing the payment Of licenses, regardless of what was paid in Canada. The companies ap- pealed the case and today's deci- sion affirms the decision of Judge Fuller in the lower case Attor- ney Crossley made trip to San Francisco last spring to argue this case before the court of appeals and is consequently much gratified over winning both suits.
 About $21, 900 in unpaid steamer license money is involved in today's decision, so far as the Northerh Commercial interests are concerned. In addition thereto, it was stipulat- ed some time ago between the at- torneys for both sides, that a sim ilar case involving the North Am erican Trading & Transportation company should rest upon this de- cision. How much money is ln- volved in that case could not be found out this afternoon, but it is considerable.
 So far as the White Pass company is concerned, it has paid into the district court here to be held ill escrow pending this decision, $1,206 covering the steamer Alaska for two years and a similar amount cover- ing the steamer Yukon. Judge Fuller entered an order staying the granting of licenses to these boats until the point could be passed up-' On bv the court of appeals at san Francisco. The licenses are TOT last year and this year.
