TO HOLD
PARTY TOGETHER
That is the Difficult Problem
Now Confronting Pro-
qressive Leaders.
CIV charles Brooks smith

WASHINGTON, d. C., April 27.-
The problem confronting the national
leaders Of the Progressive party
whose headquarters have been In
the Munsey building here, but which
are now being split up between New
Pork and Chicago, is trying to hold
their organization together. u IS
crumbling in many parts, and none
of these crumbling parts interest
the managers more tnan West viz
ginia. There it looks like total de-
molttion with no insurance for sal
wage.
that II the party was considered to
be in as bad shape in other states
las the LEADERS, know 1t to be In West
Virginia they would close up shop
and quit. The state leaders OF the
movement it must be said for them,
have not sought to deceive the ma
|tionaI leaders about the condition
of the third party in West Virginia.
There is no sentiment for it there,
and the movement is altogether lack
ing in the character Of leadership
which would make favorable ap-
peal to the electorate. The state
leaders at the present time are more
in favor OF securing some sort OF a
compromise and in degree save
their faces than the national leaders
are. However, the latter are show
ing signs of coming around and see
ing the thing as it actually is. Tnsy

WASHINGTON, April q
European diplomats in
Washington it was learned

the successful outcome of

Mexico.
While the action Of Great

ment clear to the top, it being ar
ranged principally to take care OF the
plumbing apparatus.
There is a single, barred window
opening from this shaft in the south
basement wall and through this the
prisoners made their escape from the
building. Several years ago a negro
sawed two bars Of this window nearly
in two in an unsuccessful effort to
escape, but the bars were never re-
paired and were left in that condition.
1t was an easy matter for Pauletta, or
confederates working from the out
side, to complete the saving of the
bars; as they are not of hardened
steel.
Outside Aid Suspected.
1t is believed by the sheriff and
turnkey that Pauletta was assisted
from the outside as he left the suit
of clothes he had been wearing upon
the basement floor near the broken
window Evidently his confederates
had provided him with a new suit OF
clothes in order to prevent his easy
recognition. The basement window
through which the prisoners escaped
is partly below ground and the men
could work there without being de-
tected from without.
When LaCO WOlISs the LuAAASI ,
opened the cell doors, which are
operated simultaneously at the north
end of the outside corridor by means
of levers, at the usual time Sunday
morning, stanley Pruss and Ellsworth
Shook lodged into Pauletta's cell and
made their escape in the same manner
in which he had BY the time Mr..
wolfe had made the rounds of the
corridor, he noticed that three OF the
prisoners were absent After a hur-
ried Investigation an alarm was
given and Sheriff Ross r. Stout inn
hediately organized a posse and sent
for a pair of bIoodhounds from Wes-
ton. The dogs arrived upon the next
interurban trolley car and the posse
at once took up a pursuit in the dl-
rection Of Broad Oaks.
Lose Scent at Greek.
The bloodhounds took a scent at the
iaiI window and followed it to Ellis

CIV AsseelArEs sasss,

WASHINGTON, d. c., April
27.-Conferences of the Latin
American diplomats represent
ing Brazil, Chile and Argentina
who offered their good Offices to
compose the Mexican situation
followed quickly today further
assuring messages from Mexico
City that General Huerta had
agreed to the first steps in the IN
fermentation negotiations.
The Spanish ambassador, Mr..
Riano, was in early conference
with the Argentina minister, Mr..
Naen, concerning the next move
to be made by the mediators and
Ambassador DeGama of Brazil
with the Chilean minister, Suar-
ez, and Mr.. Naen held lengthy
conference.
Mr.. Da Cana, following this
conference, called upon Secre-
tary of State Bryan and state
ment was expected later in the
day relating to the next move to
be made in the mediation.
Soon after Secretary Bryan
informed President Wilson of
the advices from Mexico City
that Huerta had acceded to the
preliminary steps in the media
ton proposals, further encour-
apement in the situation came in
advices from Berlin that Ger
many, France and Great Britain
had urged Huerta through their
diplomatic representatives in
Mexico City to yield to the Amer
lean demands. When this was
communicated to the president
he was greatly pleased.
Later the German ambassador
informed Secretary Bryan that
his government would support
the meditation proposal. An
other cause for optimism among
Washington officials were the as
surances from Admiral Badger
that through the efforts OF Brit
ish and German officials in Mex
leo, apprehension over American
and other foreign refugees in
Mexico had been greatly dis
PEELED.
rniral Badger to the navy de-
partment declared that the au-
thorities in Mexico City had
agreed to provide transportation
for all Americans from Mexico
City as far as Soledad, the Mex
lean controlled end of the rail
road to Vera Cruz. 1t also an
nounced that the first train with
$50 American refugees would
leave Mexico City today.
Announcement also was made
today that 5000 Mexican refu-
gees who are being held by this
government at Fort Bliss since
the battle of Ojinaga would be
transferred to Fort Wingote,
New Mexico, in order to get
them away from the border,
where trouble may be expected.
Efforts at mediation, however,
were the most in evidence of all
other elements in the crisis.
1t was reported here that Cen
eral Huerta had been communl-
Gated with through private sourc-
g before the mediation pro-
