WHITE HOUSE SUR
RENDERS TO HUERTA
Clause Demanding His Elimination j!
Waived and the Dictator's Terms
On This Point Are Accepted.

NIAGARA FALLS, Ont, May
26. The White House has sur.
rendered on its demand for the
unconditional elimination Of HUI
erta. Secretary Bryan authoriz,
ed the American delegates, JUS
tice Lamar and Mr.. Lehman, tt
accept Huerta's terms on this
point. By receding from his
original demand, President Will
son, in the opinion of the Mexi-
can ENJOYS, has assured the sue
cess Of the peace conference and
averted war between the United
States and Mexico.
One Of the mediators said to-
day that Washington's plan for
forcing Huerta out looked too
much like political prescription.
The South American diplomats
supported the Mexican delegates
in opposing the total eclipse of
the dictator. Actual work of
drafting tentative peace proto-
col, according to the announce
ment of Justice Lamar, was be-
gun this morning by the media
tors. From an equally high source
1t was learned that names are
now being considered for a pro-
visional president who will be ac-
cepted by Huerta and Carranza.
Following the adjournment of
a conference this afternoon be-
tween the American delegation
and the mediators. Justice Lamar
dictated this statement:
1T has been agreed that may
state to you this much. We have
finally begun the actual discus
sion of plan. 1t would. Of
course, be improper for US to
specify the point under discussion
to those upon which we have a.
greed or substantially agreed. We
have an appointment in Toronto
tomorrow, but Notwithstanding
that, we expect that these confer
ence will be continued.

An Ode to the Censor.

The censor came down like the wolf on
the fold,
And his scowl it was black, and his eye
it was cold.
And the things that he did to the news
of the war
Have never been witnessed by mortals
before.
Across the dispatches his pencil flew fast
And knocked out the punch from the lot
as it passed.
The war correspondent, distorted and
pale,
Watched the horrible hash that was made
of his tale.
And the sound of his wailing reached far
ther. lot.
Than any dispatches he penned ever got
And there lay the copy that once told a
story
or laundering battle and world moving
glory,
And nothing was left but lead blackened
scrawl,
A tumble of words that said nothing al
all.
Oh. the public at large is profuse in Its
howl,
And the crowds at the bulletins grumble
and growl
But the sedulous censor. to give him his
dues
Is world beating wonder in swatting the
news.

AMUSEMENT NOTES.
MANY HUMOROUS SITUATIONS.
Peg O. My Heart, at Auditorium Next
Tuesday, Has Happy Ending.

At the Auditorium for one perform
ance only, on Tuesday, September %,
local theatergoers will have an OPP
pOrtunity to see Peg O. Ny Heart,
Oliver Morosco's production of j.
Hartley Manners : greatest comedy,
which Laurette Taylor has been play
ing in New York two years.
The scenes of the play are laid in
a small town in England, Scarboro,
the home of the Chichesters. They
are proud, unnatural family and have
accepted the responsibility of edueat-
ing Peg, an unknown niece, for no
other reason that the urgent need of
the income that is offered. Peg, on the
other hand, is a jolly, impetuous girl,
with a fascinating brogue. She has
been raised by her whole-h hearted
father, and when she arrives at the
Chic home with her dog, Mich
ael, she shocks the family, first by her
appearance and then by her manners
Her unfamiliarity with their mode of
living, her ready wit and her curious
antics cause many humorous situations
throughout the play.
The daughter. Ethel, is having a
love affair with a man named Brent
who is married. He had also been
making love to Peg, but she repulsed
him, making friends only with Jerry
as she calls him. Peg is successful il
preventing an elopment between Ethe
and Brent, and then is about to leave
the Chichester home when it is learned
that Jerry is really an English noble
man and in love with Peg, so there i:
a happy ending to the little play, wher
Peg, in Jerry 81 arms, tells that
when her father hears the news he will
quote the poets and say that "There ;.
nothing half so sweet in life as love ;:
young dream
In the part of Peg Miss Doroth,
Mackaye is said to be all that can be
desired. She is supported by a care
| fully selected cast.

THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.

The events that transpired at the Dem
ocratic state convention in Burlington
yesterday would seem to indicate that
pressure upon the delegates was not Who'll
ly from within the party. The merry
fight that took place over the question
whether Charles \. Proutys senatorial
candidacy should receive endorsement and
the final decision to nominate a purely
sacrihcial candidate for that office is pref
ty strong evidence that a good many folks
outside the Democratic party were inter
ested in the conventions outcome The
fact that 204 delegates favored the Prouty
candidacy would seem to foreshadow a
considerable Prouty vote from among the
Democratic ranks in spite of the fiscal
choice of Watson, for no one can deny
that this Is a year when party lines are
more indistinct than ever before 1t will
not do, by the way, for the Republicans
to underrate the strength of the Prouty
senatorial boom. Apparently in a slump
several weeks ago, it now seems to be in
creasing its vigor very rapidly This

Senator Dillingham; friends and tip to
those of Mr.. Prouty
The Democratic state ticket, with the
picturesque Harland i, Howe of St.
Johnsbury at the head, Is likely to pull
about the usual vote this fall, but there is
nothing about it to arouse hope among
the party leaders for any extraordinary
strength at the polls Mr.. Howe can be
dependent upon to put up a lively cam
paign and his knowledge of state affairs Is
sufficient to furnish him with ample ma
terial, but in Charles W. Gates he is up
against a Republican candidate whose gen
eral popularity and acknowledged eff
cheney make a pretty tough armor to pen
citrate.
