LIND coNFERs WITH
 CARRANZA'S AGENTS
Urges Them to Use Their Influence for Favorable Repy from Thei,. Leader

Washington, June 4.-General Car ranza, constitutionalist leader, tonight had not disclosed his next move in the diplomatic negotiations toward composition of Mexican affairs.
 At constitutionalist headquarters no immediate action was expected. Ra- fael Zubaran, General Carran's chief representative in Washington, said:
 transmitted the note to General Carranza last night He I am sure will give it all the necessary atten- tion and consideration before sending an answer to the mediators so that it will probably be two or three days before the response is despatched.
 John Lind, who represented the state department in dealing with the con- stitutionalists. conferred with the members of the agency here through out the day, urging them to use their influence to have their chieftain make favorable reply to the proposals of the South American mediators.
 Luis Cabrara, who has been men, tioned as a probable delegate to the peace conference should Carranza agree to participate under the terms proposed, was in conference with Mir. Lind for several hours, after which MT. Cabrera joined his colleagues, Mr. Zubaran, Jog VaScolcelos, and Juan F, Orquidi. the constitutionalists' agency. While mediation waited on CarranHa, the subject of ammunition bound from the United States to General Carran- za's forces was uppermost in the dis came known that Admiral Badger had been cabled to keep watch on the Mexican federal gunboats in the >vici- nifty of Puerto Mexico. in view of re- ports from Mexico City that Huerta proposed to prevent, if possible. the enroute to Carranza on the Cuban steamer Antilla
 Admiral Badger was instructed to keep the vessels under surveillance and to report any of their movements to the navy department. In conse- gunboat off Alvarado and the Tacoma and Sacramento are keeping in sight two vessels in the harbor at Puerto Mexico.
 At 10.30 o'clock today Admiral Bad ger reported that none of the boats had shown any signs of moving. Naval officers expressed doubt as to whether the Mexican boats successfully could maintain a blockade of Tampico with their base of supplies so far removed from Tampico, even if no attempt were made by the American ships to prevent a blockade.
 It was generally regarded here as likely that the ammunition shipped from Galveston and New York for the constitutionalists would reach it's des- tination unmolested. Conflicting state ments as to the probable attitude of the United States regarding shipments of arms to the Mexican contendine factions were difficult to reconcile. To- days developments threw little light on the subject, though in some quar- ters the view was expressed that the American government would endeavor to prevent the delivery of arms t General Carranzas forces in order tc n him if t4 a favorable ear toward peace proposals at Niagara Falls.

MILITANT SUCCEEDS
 IN ADDRESSING KING.
Gained Entrance to Buckingham Palace in Spite Of all Precautions.

London, June 4LThe king and queen held court at Buckingham palace to- night and in spite of all precautions a militant suffragette gained access to their presence and caused an fnterrup- ton to the presentations.
 As she was passing the king. the suffragette dropped on her knees and shouted:
 Your Majesty, for Gods sake do not use forcei''
 The woman was attfred in court dress and her action caused profound astonishment. She continued to ad monish the king but her words were inaudible. as the conductor of the band in the gallery, quick to observe the in cident, signalled to the band to play louder, and the woman's voice was drowned.
 She was immediately removed from the room and handed over to the po- lice. The name of the woman Is not known and close inquiries are being made as to how she obtained card of admission

 Promised to Be Exciting Race.
 There was a heavy sea and stiff 25-mile wind from the south when the committee boat set the signal F, short ly after noon. indicating that the third race of the series was to be sailed. a beat to windward and back A thick gray mist plotted out the shore lines and the sound rolled and tumbled in great foamy masses while a fine rain drove and swirled with the gale.

The course from the starting buoy on Great Cap tain's Island lay south-soufhwest t9 Matinicock Point and return The d.s- tance to the weather mark was four and half miles and the sioops were to cover the course twice.

Says MeIIen Did
 Not Shield Morgan
STATEMENT FLATLY DENIED BY
 LEWIS cAss LEpYARD
VOLUNTARY TESTIMONY
Said MeIIen's Letter in Regard to Grand Trunk Investigation Was Not the Letter of Man Accepting Re-
 spensibiIity, but of an,Innocent Man.

Washington, June 4-Charles S. Mellen's recent testimony that he, as president of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, allowed him. self to be indicted in the Grand Trunk case to shield the late J. Pierpont Morgan, was fiatly denied before the Interstate Commerce Commission to-. day by Lewis Cass Eedyard of New York who was . director of the New Haven at the time.
 T want to say in the most qualified terms,'' declared MT. Ledyard, that MT Mellen did not offer himself as vicarious sacrifice for MT Morgan"
 Telling of the letter in regard to the Grand Trunk investigation to the United States District Attorney at New York written by MT. Mellen in the presence of E. D. Robbins. counsel for the New Haven and himself Mr. Ledyard said:
 That letter was not the letter of a man accepting responsibility. It was the letter of a man claiming inno- cence."
 MT. Ledyard took the stand as voluntary witness in the commissions investigation into the New Haven's financial affairs and was not sworn. The subpoena issued for him some time ago had been withdrawn, but he urged that he be allowed to make a statement.
 Earlier in the day William Skinner completed his testimony, begun yes terday. He said he could not recall any instance in which MT. Morgan had tried to dominate the board of directors and that MT. Morgan's fre- quent trips to Europe kepts him from attending many of the meetings. He expressed the opinion that the public often got better service from the rail-
 roads as a result of interlocking di- rectorates.
 George F. Baker, a director of the New Haven and Lawrence Miner, former member of the board, who
 were present and ready to testify, were excused until next week. It is expected that at the conclusion of MT. Ledyard's statement tomorrow several of the commissions examin-
 CTS who have been inspecting the
 books of J. P Morgan and Company and the records of the late J. P. Morgan, in New York will be put on the stand

 Speedy Return a Surprise.
 Mrs. Lawson was startled into a more erect position by the sound, and the effect on the majority of those in the crowded court room was little less surprising, for the jurors had been out such a brief period that their retrrn was not so quickly anticipated.
