MEDIATION CONFERENCE IS
MAKING SMOOTH PROGRESS
WARNED
Suffrag gettes Told BY Magistrate That
Only Protection Of Police Has
Saved Them From Harm.

LONDON. May 25.-"Some day an
exasperated crowd will break into a
procession of militants What will
then happen TO you women nobody
knows at present. You have to thank
the police for being alive; you owe
them a debt of gratitude"
Magistrate Hopkins, OF the Bow
street police court thus addressed a
suffragette. who had applied for a
summons against an unknown man,
who, she declared. bad struck her on
the face when the crowd rushed the
suffragettes meeting in Hyde park
Sunday afternoon and the police came
TO the women's rescue.
The magistrates warning indicated
the public evaporation that exists
against the militants. Their attacks
on the king have greatly intensified
this feeling for the English are an in
tensely loyal people.
The language of the militants at
the meeting of the Women's Social
and Political union this afternoon.

were heard on every side. shows that
the warning is little likely TO be heed :

Apparently all that is needed. in the
opinion OF some observers, for the

militants.

THIS Is EMPHATIC STATE
MENT OF BOTH MEDIATORS
AND DELEGATES.
Both Sides Agree to Keep Proceed

Phases Considered.

NIAGARA FALLS. Ont. May 25 -
The opposing delegates are clearly
coming into closer accord on the
VeNed land problems The mediators
today were able TO take a nota bly,
t'rward step. Delegates representing
both sides gave ground, one from the
view that the problem was for in
teinal solution and not the subject

thing must be settled here and now
H. conformity with the views OF the
Washington government For several
days the diplomatic tribunal despair
60 OF nnding a common meeting place
hut finally both sides have come Ia
see that IL the mediation Is TO be a
success this question must be viewed
IN a spirit of Cancellation.
The strong declaration OF President
Wilson on the subject published IN
al interview as the mediation con-
ference was about TO assemble, arOus
ed a good deal OF feeling and for two
CT three days threatened a disastrous
outcome of the whole effort at peace.
Tie Mexican delegates firmly de
clared that IL was untrue that the
feudal system OF Mexico was the
single. or indeed the chief cause OF
the recarring revolutions They said
that personal ambition had played a
much more important part. Finally
they held that the whole land ques o
tiOn lay without the field OF media -
tiOn and belonged 10 the legislative
body OF Mexico alone TO deal with.
The delegates representing the
United States held firmly 10 their
ground. The grave situation in Mex

preliminary step and as an earnest
Of their purpose to do whatever was
IN their power, last Thursday. the
Mexican chamber OF deputies pre-
cipitately passed law which the
Mexican delegates announced In

This law creates "A new tax on

the situation Of the former and giving
the latter an inducement to break up

proceeded until now it may safely
be asserted that by mutual cOnces-

ROOSEVELT
TO CONFER
AT CAPITAL

WASHINGTON. May 25.-Colonel
Roosevelt will return to Washington
tomorrow on one of the few visits
he has made since he left the White
House. He will spend nine hours in
the capital. and the plans made for
him give promise that he will put in
a full days work before he leaves at
midnight for Oyster Bay.
The primary object OF the CoIonoIs
trip Is 10 deliver a lecture before the
National Geographic Society on his
south American explorations. but
NashingtOnians who mix in politics
are not less interested in the confer
once he will hold Just before he leaves,
with the Progressive leaders in Con
gress. This conference may develop
plan OF action by the Progressive
party in the coming congressional
campaign. IL it results in nothing
more than party leaders expect Mr..
Roosevelt 10 show the way in which
the Wilson administration can be most
advantageously attacked by campaign
orators and in prediction lecture.
Aside from these two main fca-
lures OF his visit Colonel Roosevelt
has busy afternoon and night
ahead OF him. lie is due in Wash
ington at 800 p. m. escorted from
Philadelphia bl several members of
his party in congress and O. X. Da-
Wis. secretary OF the Progressive ma
tional committee.
The colonel probably will go to
the White House 10 pay bis respects
10 President Wilson. He was invited
TO take luncheon there but was un.
able TO leave Oyster Bay in time to
keep luncheon engagement
The colonel will take dinner at a
downtown hotel with officials OF the
Geographic society and has no en-
gagements afterward until the time
for his lecture, which Is scheduled to
begin az s o'clock. Immediately after
its conclusion Colonel Roosevelt will
be driven to the Progressive party
headquarters where the conference
with other party leaders in congress
will be held.
Reports that Col Roosevelt might
confer while here with leaders OF the
Republican party were not regarded
here today as significant
