MARSHALL TALKS

VICE PRESIDENT IS PRINCIPAL
SPEAKER At UNIVERSITY
COMMENCEMENT.

Orono, Maine, June 10.-Vice Presi-
dent Marshall addressed class of 12O
members at the commencement exer-

He received the honorary degree Of
doctor of laws. The vice presidents
topic was intellectual bravery"
"Slight knowledge will not enable
the young man. he said, ito assume
the management Of life's affairs. In
the irrepressible conflict between labor
and capital, he cannot assume that
either property or labor is everything
without tending to establish a peon
class in America or an oligarichy Of
wealth. Complete knowledge may
convince that it will be better for the
these classes.
'The young man In assuming leader
ship must create public opinion and
develop a moral sentiment against
usurious profit as well as against usur-
ious interest. l dare the prediction
that the railroads Of the country would
welcome permanent five per cent or
six per cent accumulative profit in ex-
change for their greater profit and the
doubt, risk and abuse which come with
1t. -s
Subjects which formerly were pure
ly of state cognizance have become OF
common interest between the states
and the doctrine of states rights must
oe supplemented by the doctrine of
states duties.

The young man of tomorrow must take
up this cry of states duties; other
wise, our pleasing vision Of Uncle Sam
as patriarchal gentleman with a
beneicent smile on his face toward
American manhood striving for sue

HUERTA NOT TO BE

Dictator is Denied Right Of
Naming Successor as
Directed By Law.

Niagara Falls, Ont, June 10.-A dan
gerous obstruction to progress on q
vital point in the mediation proceed.
ings has arisen, which again threat.
ems failure of the negotiations. The
United States has said to the media
tors in unequivocal terms that it can
not consent to any method of transi-
ton from the existing regime to the
proposed new provisional government
that can be construed as recognition
of Huerta's administration.
The mediators are insisting that
General Huerta be permitted to make
the appointment of the man agreed
upon here for provisional president
This, the American government abso
lutely refuses to accept, not only be-
cause it is committed against recogni
tion of Huerta, but because 1t has been
Informed by the constitutionalists that
under no circumstances will they ac-
cept peace plan which permits
Huerta to exercise the constitutional
function of naming his successor. On
this point the mediators and American
delegates are blocked. One side must
give way before any advance Is made.
J Some of the principals have actually
lost hope for a settlement, but there
is growing confidence that the med
iators will devise some method Of
briiging the difficulty rather than al
low mediation to founder on the rocks.
Await carranxa Note.
Washington, D. c., June 10.-Carran-.
gas reply to the South American en-
,oys outlining his attitude toward
mediation was momentarily expected
to reach here today for transmission
to Niagara Falls and with the arrival
at Tampico of the steamer Antilla, It
was believed administration offlcials
Immediately would reveal whether
they intend to permit the landing of
tae war cargo to the constitutionalists.
Disposition of the Antilla's war car
70 had not been announced early to-
Gay. 1nasmuch as Huerta had suspen-
ded his order for blockade of Tam
pico, some officials expressed the
opinion that the Antilla would meet no
interference and the discharge of the
q a,?munition. However, there were per-
sistent rumors to the contrary. De-
partment heads declined to discuss
the case.
Receipt of word from Niagara that
there had been hitch over methods of
transition OF the Mexican government
created little stir in Washington be-
cause it was coupled with intimations
that the Huerta delegates would con-
cede the points raised by the Ameri- |
can mission.

StQrDe to Death

Vera Cruz, Mex, June TO-
Efforts to induce Huerta to per-
) NIT the closing Of the gap in
the railroad made by General
; Mas short distance outside
of Vera Cruz, when the Mexi-
; can troops under his command
evacuated this port have again
} failed.
) General Huerta said to
British emissary who went to
the federal capital from Vera
Cruz for that purpose that his
dignity would not permit the
repairing of the road; that IF
the Mexicans who yet were at
Vera Cruz were so unpatriotic
as to remain they ought to
starve."
Huerta at the time passen-
gers who arrived here today,
left the capital, had given no in
dication of his early retirement
from the presidency. He was
at the station when the train
departed to say goodbye to per-
sonal friends.
The military situation around
the capital has not been great
ly altered. The constitutional
lists appeared to be gaining in
strength about Puebla, but
Huerta is reinforcing the garri-
son there.
Inability of the native loco
motive engineers to handle the
airbrakes properly is given as
the cause of the recent wrecks
on the Mexican railway be-
tween here and the capital. The
damage done to the line in this
respect has been repaired.

SOCIAL NOTES

The spring maid is coming to town
shimmering in silken sheen and even
as the song of the first robin is heard
on every limb SO is the rustic Of taffeta
heard on every il hand. Into q
a Marquise or a Dolly Warden, the new
silk madel gowns will tudn you, for
they are all built on the piquant frilled
and .paniered lines of those periods. The
silks themselves are adorably sprigged
and lowered and striped. You simply
can't be plain Jane this season n be
in style at the very same time, for there
isn't a plain silk among the whole be-
wildering display. -~,--., .%-@ ,-a
The bright-hued Roman-striped tai
fetas are the smartest OF the new
silks, while the delicate rainbow-tint-
ed taffetas, soft as charmeuse,p bloom
ing with tiny garlands and rosebuds
ing from quaint little shepherdess
baskets are perfect for the ruchings
and panniers and Vatican pleats Of
the present picturesque modes. Sill
crepes striped, lowered, brocaded and
embroidered offer alluring Inducements
among the new materials and a decid-
ed innovation is a fabric called "goI-
and has a corduroy effect with a heavy
velvet looking stripe on a thin crepey
background. b same effect in silk
Ia called "railine."
AS for the hats, those that strive for
the greatest, heights of favor seem to
greatest heights. On some the ostrich
plumes and feather fancies actually
stick up two feet The straw shapes
are hard little tight little affairs that
turn up at odd angles close to the
crowns when they have any. In most
