The decision of the court of appeals
reversing the verdict of the first trial

The decision upholding or reversing

Both have been national directors of

Schoennecker has been mentioned as
an aspirant for the office at former
conventions, and last year at Rich

sought to stampede the convention on
him. So 1t will be seen that with two
such candidates, each possessing all
requirements to creditably fill the Of

special wires to the headquarters this
forenoon. Ambassador De Cana, min

elaborate reports sent out yesterday,
and the replies we're transmitted to-
day. From the White House and state
department at Washington are coming

helpless in the war. but they will not
surrender their land freely. They are
like other rich men. The power Of
General Huerta is what he can com
mand by force of arms-that is all
We wait for what may come"
In this spirit the Mexicans posted
this bulletin intimating their willing
ness to hear through the mediators
what Carranzista representative may
have to say.
"In answer to the question address
ed to the Mexican delegation asking
what it's attitude would be toward the
representative which, it is said, the
rebel party will send to the confer
ence at present being held here. said
delegation begs to state that it has
received no official notice that the
above named party is sending dele
gates; that should such delegates
come OF does not know with what
character they would do so and that
it is therefore impossible for the
Mexican delegation to emit an opinion
on this matter.
I'm any case the Mexican delega
ton considers that the matter is one
for the study Of the mediating plenipo
tentiaries and that it would only be
justified in taking it up after these
gentlemen have duly considered it. In
this last case the Mexican delegation
would consult it's government before
coming to any decision"
This is considered the opening move
toward settlement on the part of the
Mexicans. They wait for Carranza. Sc
do the mediators.

PLAN COMMISSION
CONTINUED from Page One.)

Santiago and Rio Janeiro, capitals res
pectively Of Argentine, Chile and Bra
I'll and also from London.
It is understood that In the London
dispatches a powerful appeal was
made by British interests to the medi.
ators to protect the business interests
not only of Mexico but of all Latin
America against the "dictatorial pol
icy of the United States"
The fall OF Huerta was pictured as
the forsrunner of anarchy and whole
sale murder throughout Mexico to be
followed by American conquest. This
in turn, the British petitioners declar-
ed. would imperial the republics still
further south.
The mediators were begged to take
a stand that would prevent aggression
by the United States.
Conferences were resumed at 1910,
the Mexicans going into the mediation
room with the South Americans for a
long discussion of the American pro-
posals.
Concede Rebel Victory.
Concerning the probability Of COM
plete triumph by General Villa and
General Carranza in the present mill
tary campaign against President
Huerta, the conservative interests of
Mexico represented at the mediation
conference are looking forward to a
new revolution against the Constitu-
tionalists.
The slogan of this hoped-for upris-
ing will be Down with the friends of
the gr1ngoes."
This view of the immediate future
of wartorn Mexico was revealed to-
day by member of the Mexican par
ty
"Villas success is born defective"
he said Our people will not tolerate
any man to whom the demagogue can
point as the tool Of the Americans.
He may seize the country for little
while, but the nation will overthrow
him"
Take Up Land Problem.
At the same time the Mexican dele
gates are allowed themselves to be
understood as ready to take up the
land question in this mediation con-
ference. Members Of the Huertista's
suite say that the entire Mexican pub
lie is agreed that the problem Of dis
tribution Of the land must be solved.
The Cientificos, they maintain are
ready to begin the solution by Great
ing commission to draft plan OF
putting the poems and other poems on
the soil under some such scheme as
the English small holdings act. Long
term contracts for payment on the
land would be offered and the govern
ment would finance the original pur-
chase from the present holders by a
bond issue.
Senior Alsers, recently charge dat.
flares at Washington, says that the
entire question can be disposed OF
without stripping the great land own
ers of any part Of their wealth. He
| would have the government undertake
irrigation projects throughout the
arid regions where water is available
He asserts that but for the revolution
this would have been done by Porfirio
Diaz.
Oppose Quick Decision.
But the Mexican delegates who
came to Niagara Falls to parley with
the American government will not
easily agree to dividing up the landed
estates at once. They have told the
mediators that time should be allowed
for gradually working out both a
scheme of purchase and a system OF
farm loan banks, in order that the
reform shall not utterly fail

RETURNS VERDICT
AGAINST CLARKS

A verdict for the Citizens State
bank of Hagerstown, in their suit
against Clark brothers to collect $5.-
900 on a note, was the action Of the
Jury to the surprise of court attaches.
The sealed verdict was returned at
$50 O'Clock this morning. after only
q small number Of ballots had been
taken.
Many believed that Clark brothers
would prove to the satisfaction of the
jury that the note which they gave
the insurance company was non-nego-
table at the time 1t was made and
that it was altered in order to dispose
of 1t to the bank 1t is probable that
the case will be appealed.
