POSSIBLE SUCCESSOR TO LuRroN.
Speculation at Washington About Fill
ing Supreme Court Vacancy.

Washington, July 4.-There was
some speculation in official circles at
Washington last night over the choice OF
successor to Justice Lurton, though
no one professed to have information
upon which to base prediction as to
whom President Wilson might appoint.
When it was reported last winter that
Justice Lurton was about to resign,
many persons suggested that former
President Taft, a distinguished federal
jurist, might be offered the place. 1t
was said at the White House, however,
that Mr.. Taft's name had not been men
toned there.
Among those mentioned last night
were Secretary Lane OF the interior de-
partment, Secretary of War Garrison
and Frederick w Lehman of ST. Louis,
former solicitor general, who was one
OF the American delegates to the Mexi
can peace conference at Niagara Falls.
Some officials said, however, that Presi-
dent Wilson very probably would not
appoint a member of his cabinet, as it is
known that he is particularly anxious
to 90 through his term without change

Washington.-The British view OF
the first month of the war is set
forth In the following sablegram re-
ceived Sunday by the British en-
bassy from the London foreign Of
fee:
AT the end OF the first month Of
the war the command of the sea Is
left unchallenged in the hands OF
Great Britain and her allies. The
main German and Austrian fleets re-
main In their harbors under shelter
of their mines and batteries. Four
German cruisers. one auxiliary crui-
ser, two destroyers and a submarine
and one Austrian cruiser have been
sunk. A German dreadnought and
a cruiser have fed without lighting
and have taken refuge in the Oar
denelles The loss to the British
navy has been two light cruisers
only.
"As a consequence of this naval
supremacy, over 100000 troops have
been able to cross the sea in different
parts OF the world without the loss

force has been carried to France,
colonial expeditions have been sent

MEXICAN LEADERS
TO WORK TOGETHER
FEAR OF TROUBLE BETWEEN
VILLA AND CARRANzA is
APPARENTLY DlSPELLED.
Have Agreed That No Military Man
May Be Candidate for President
and That Reforms shall Be lni-
tiated in Energetic Manner.

Washington-The basis for the re-
cent assertion of President Wilson
that he believed Carranza and Villa
would cooperate in restoring consti
tutional government in Mexico was
revealed Tuesday when it became
known that General Obregon, person
al friend OF General Carranza, had
signed the proposals OF General Villa
for an electoral program.
General Villas proposals were laid
before Paul Fuller, personal repre-
sentative of President Wilson, at re-
cent conference in Chihuahua.
The president later told callers the
proposals did not appear unreason-
able. Mr.. Fuller had an interview
with General Cdrranza in Mexico City
Tuesday, and it was reported that the
first chief also indicated his assent
to the program mapped out by Villa,
which is as follows:
That a convention of the delegates
Of the constitutionalist army be
called to arrange the date of the cleo
tions for congressman, president and
vice. president
That no military man be a candi.
date for president or xice-president
or for governor Of any state.
That a civilian take charge of the
provisional government to hold cleo
lions.
That a general amnesty be de-
clared, except as to those who COM
mitted the crime or participated in
the assassination OF Madero and Sua-
reZ.
That the officers of the old federal
army who can show clean records
shall be taken into the new national
army.
That all reforms shall be put
through In an energetic manner, but
on legal and constitutional basis.
General Carranza already has COM
piled with the first proposal by call
ing a general convention for October
to select a provisional president.
Under the Mexican constitution, the
provisional president cannot be a can
didate in elections held under his ad-
ministration. General CarranZa,
therefore, II DESTROYS of becoming
provisional president, will not be in
office longer than the period neces-
sary to conduct an election.
