revolution. through an emlssary sent
to Niagara Falls, has requested per-
mission to he represented In the media :
ton. His request is strongly sup
ported by President Wilson and Secre-
tary Bryan.
There is every reason to believe Car
ranza's action was the result OF. n It
were not inspired by Secretary Rryan's
conference yesterday with Senor Zu-
barran and Charles Douglas, the con-
stitutionalist agents in Washington.
At that conference the secretary
communicated to Carranzas repro
sensentatives the features Of the plan
built up by the medators and the dele
gates. They communicated 1t once to
their superior at Durango. over u.
special wire they discussed the plan
and the attitude the constitutionalists Is
should adopt
In accordance with the decision OF

The president and Secretary Bryan
took tho position. according to advices
from Washington. that II would be
better to persuade the constitutional
