Huerta Reported Still Willing to Hand In
His Resignation if Necessary
CONSTITUTIONALSTS TO Send REPRESENTATIVES
They Wish Be Included in Formulating Policy Under Which
All Mexico Can Exist Peace Nation, and the Mediatos
Are Anxious That they Send Delegates, in Order That
the New Government May Have Their Recognition

! only for the purpose of furnishing in
formation.
Today's development which un-
doubtedly was one direct outcome of
a long conference General Carranza
has been holding over a special teIe-
graph wire with Emilio Zubaran his
minister of the interior, in charge of
the constitutionalist agency here, was
pointed out as justifying the optimism
of the last day or two in official cir
cles.
Jose Vasconcelos, one of the Car
rama agents, who has been mentioned
as probable choice to represent Gen
eral Carranza at Niagara Falls, still is
in the city; Luis Babrera another
agent, arrived at New York today on
the steamer Olympic from Europe;
Fernando I. Calderon, a third eonstit-
|utionalist representative is in Ell Paso.
1t has been said that if General Car
rama sent representatives to the Nj
agara conference, those three men
probably would be selected.
Although the constitutionalists have
reiterated that they are willing to
participate in any mediation which
dealt with the relations of Mexico
with the United States. and that they
opposed to taking part; in any media
ton over the internal affairs of Mex
lido, it was pointed out that the re
Curing proposal for the establishment
of a provisional government to be Sc
lected by the mediators. the Huerta
delegates and the American delegates
and to be recognized by the United
States may have advanced the situ-
ation TO the point where the constitu-
tionalists think 1t best for their inter-
ests to have representatives on the
ground

| EPSON, May 27-The derby, best
known of the English classic horse
races, was won today by an American
horse, Herman B. Duryea's Durbar II.
The winners recent form in France
had been considered so poor that he
was regarded here as a rank outsider
and odds of 25 to ! we're freely laid
against him in the clubs last night.
Today he had no trouble in disposing
of a huge field OF 80 horses, the largest
that has turned out for the race since
1863. He won in canter by three
lengths from two other outsiders,
Harpsburg and Peter the Hermit.
The betting just before the start OF
the race was 20 to against Durbar

Mr.. Duryea had great faith in his
horse. which was backed by large
amounts from the American contin-
gent. The jubilation among the big
crowds of transatlantic visitors was
distinctly noticeable as the winner
was led into the paddock.
King George and Queen Mary were
both present, as well as most OF the
staff OF the United States embassy,
while distributed about the course

Recurring reports of the impending
abdication of Huerta receive much at

diplomatic corps. Admittedly that is
one of the next important develop
ments in the Mexican situation which
is generally expected, but no one here

Huerta,s Ministers Flee

Vera Cruz, May 27.-Mexicans ar
irving from the capital today report
that Jose Maria Lozano, former minis
ter of communications. and Querido
Moheno. formerly foreign minister but
now supposed to be holding the port
folio of commerce and industry, are
missing.
Some circles igsthe capital give
credit to rumors that the two minis
ters have been shot, but the majority
of the people in Mexico City believe
they have become convinced that the
success of the constitutionalists is
only matter of short time and have
decided to retire into hiding from the
possible vengeance of the followers of
Carranza.
Rumors have been current in Vera
Cruz for several days that one or an
other of the cabinet ministers was
coming here to seek American pro-
lection, but Mexican circles doubt the
reliability of the report.
Another rumor says that the editor
Iof Ell Independence, one of General
Huerta's papers in Mexico City, which
was among those that most flagrantly
distorted the facts of the American
landing here, passed through Vera
Cruz, taking ship for Europe day or
so ago. The rumor had it the editor
was certain he would be executed IL
he remained in the capital until the
collapse of General Huerta-

Niagara Falls, Ont, May 27.-The
mediation body composed of the
South American envoys and the Amer
lean and Mexican delegates suspend
ed their work here today to attend a
garden party in Toronto in honor of
the governor general of Canada, his
royal highness, the duke of Conn
aught, the duchess and the Princess
Patricia. Sir John Gibson, lieutenant
governor of Ontario, is to be the host.
The mediation colony prepared to
leave here early and will return to-
night.
AS the party left for Toronto, for a
day of real diversion, the first break
from almost continued labor, it was
evident all were highly confident of a
successful outcome of the conferences.
With the land question satisfactorily
adjusted the mediators and delegates
were concentrating their attention on
the exact manner in which new pro-
visional government might ibe set up
to succeed the present regime.
That General Huerta has formally
indicated his willingness to abide by
the program thus far outlined here is
no longer doubted. The effort now
is to arrange for change of execu-
tives in dignified manner. The me-
diation conference in all probability
will not choose provisional presi-
dent This will have to be done by
the Mexico City government ITSELF
But the process which is receiving
consideration is the drawing up of a
list of representative Mexicans from
which number might be appointed
BY the United States and all parties
concerned so that there would be no
doubt OF recognition. This select few.
it is understood. will be submitted to
the constftutioHalists. An effort also
will be made toriobtain the viewpoint
of the zapasista element.

Yurecuaro is in northern Michoacan

Early celery should be ready

1t pays to cultivate garden
crops as long as one can get be-
tween the rows.
The common and golden elder
were very attractive shrubs the
first part of July.
Early celery can best be blanch-
ed with paper or boards. Dirt is
likely to cause rust and decay.
The Japanese lilac was one OF
the most attractive shrubs the last
of June.
Pansies should not be allowed

season is desired.
Many vegetable and fruit grow.

the VALLEY CITY MEETING

Where the picturesque Shcyenne river
Winds it's labarynthal way.
There's a beauteous little city,
Where they're always blithe and gay.
1t ensconces in the umbrage
or gigantic oaks and elms.
And when visitors arrive there
It's glad welcome near o'erWhelms.
They extended to the Press Gang,
Invitations from their heart,
And when the feats were over
Guests We're loathng to depart.
Oh they Toasted and they praised us.
And put out the welcome hand;
Autos Whirled us round the city
To the music OF the band.
We held the business meetings,
In the bran new city hall,
And we Toasted in the Normal
Where Mcfarland welcomed ALL
White presided at the banquet;
Concord praised the y. D. press:
The mayor whooped for Valley City:
Bob Hughes ripped his Dress Suit vesl
Norman Black sang 'Annie Laurie"
Daddy Lowe got there. YOU bet;
Darling little jamie Richter
Made peachy suffragette.
DR.. Gnild--a perfect glider
SpTeau lew SOIL RlDSseS tIicFt,
Whilst 10 the matron of the Normal
Deepest gratitude We'll share.
Yes. they filled us up on chicken
Finest creams and danties too:
Whilst the Rudolph and the "Adolph"
Housed the intellectual crew.
The County Fair Association
Sent us passes, one and all.
There exhibits of all classes,
Not surpassed on this old ball.
The Chautauqua grounds were open
And we went there in bunch
Where eXemplifled perfection
Gave the gang an awful bunch.
They have taken gifts of Nature
And created peerless art.
It's perfection pure and simple
Wins the eye and fills the heart.
Percy Trubshaw-he's the danntless-
Yes, he gets there with both feet;
And we feel that TO his labors,
We're indebted for the treat.
We can't name the countless numbers
Who assisted in the blow;
But she was perfect outing
And the city's fame will grow.
Our poor talent lacks the power
To describe the time we had
But we had it-yes we had it
And the gang Is mighty glad.
Dofr your hats to Valley City
She's the peer--the peerless one
And we shout for Valley City
Till our final page is run.
