 MISSING ORDERLY
Mexican Foreign Minister to Take Action Regarding Missing Ameri- -Constitutionalists Rapid
 ly Extending Their Lines

Washington. May 16.-The arrival here late today of General Huerta's three representatives in the mediation conference to he held at Niagara Falls, Canada, gave the most tangible evidence thus far presented of efforts under way to compose the Mexican conflict-the actual presence nt the American capital of Huerta's spokes- men, direct from Mexico City and clothed with plenary powers.
 As the three Mexicans, Senore Rabasa, Rodriguez and Elguero, with their fam flies and a numerous official suite de- scended from the train they were met by the Spanish ambassador. Don Juan Ria no, and presented to representatives of diators curious crowd looked on as the Mexicans were taken to a hotel.

Lamar and Frederick W. Lehmann, With the American secretary. H. Percival Dodge and numerous American. spanish and Mexican officials.

 Urgent Representations
 Meanwhile urgent representations made to the Huerta government through the Brazilian minister at Mexico City as to the reported execution of Private samuel Parks, an American solsifr who strayed through the Mexican li&es, WAS partly relieved by q message from Mexican For eign Minister Ruiz to Spanish Anbassa- dor Riano. stating that the disappear ance of Parks would be investigated inn mediately. Beyond this Secretary Bryan had no information on Parks disappear ance. Reports that Parks was summarily executed and his body mutilated have not been confirmed.
 Official reports today showed the con stitutionalists rapidly extending their field of occupation. Consul Canada at Vera Cruz reported them in possession of Tux pan and the state department also re- ceived word that constitutionalists had occupied the town Of Moncloya. Admiral Howard reported the federals were likely to evacuate the port of Guaymas. ram pico was reported by Admiral Mayo to be resumng its normal condition, with foreign properties protected, and the con stitutionalist commander, General Con nales, exchanging informal calls\ with the American and British adnirals.

Heed Universal Demand

The committee 1t adds. has seen proper to report a provision prohibiting common or interlocking directorates or management. When we learned the judi ciary committee was not undertaking to deal with the directo,ates of railroad companies. we then needed what appears to be a public and almost universal de- mand to prohibit interlocking directorates of carriers
 whether the necessity for this provision Is as great as reported or not. and whether the anticipated benefits are exap- gerated or not. there Is general impress sion that most of the wreck and ruin of railroads and consequent damage to pub nc service and the public interest has been due to the machinations of men who managed different corpora tions and by the policies adopted for the different cor porations constituting system, or about to be consolidated into system. wrought ruin to some or all of the car riers involved.
 Tt has been represented to us that that practice has ceased that railroad men no longer are dishonest or incompe- tent. that 1t is matter of convenience for the same men to handle different en- terprfses without having to consult so many different people, but our observa- tion is that there are good enough men in the world to fill every responsible po- sition and then not have enough posi- tions to go around. And, We observe, in answer to the suggestion that If the prac- tice has ceased the provision in the law will not hurt anybody. for no man wll be punished unless he is guilty.

Help Give Him Justice

If any rash man should decided in the future to break out and initiate some Of the disa strous escapades of the past, the law would be here to give him justice for his rnisdeeds It further has been urged that fin the case of large systems formed by the consolidation of many smaller cor porations, fl is not necessary to have dif- ferene directors for all the minor corpor- ations. We answer that 1t Is not neces- sary to have all these considerations. and the most vicious thing about all combina- tons in transportation and all other kinds of business, ia that while 1t multi plies tho benefits of the few men retained it dispenses with the services of so many men both competent to nIl the positions and entitled to the fair emoluments thereof"

BELL FUR CONTROL OF RAILROAD STOCK IS
 REPORTED ID HOUSE
Measure Strikes Boldly at "Cupidity and Incompe- tency of Directorates.'
 Declares AdamsOn


 Washington, May 1s.-The Rayburn bill for federal control of railroad stock and bond issues. one of the trio of antitrust measures that constitute the legislative programme for the remainder of the ses- sion of Congress was reported favorably to the House today by the interstate com merce committee The report, prepared by Chairman Adamson, analysed the pur- poses of the bill, told of the reforms it would accomplish, declared the personal punishment provided was the only way to deal with malefactors and struck bold iy at what the report called the cupidi- ty or incompetency of the railroad direc- torates or avarice or exploitation of spec ulators who use the power of their posi- tions to wreck the carriers and make large gains.''
 The man who unblushingly will take advantage of the power afforded by his position in the financial world, said the report ito wreck the facilities and ability of carrier to discharge its public du- ties besides buncoing innocent investors out of hundreds of millions of dollars and embarrassing other innocent invest ors by unloading on them worthless stocks and bonds, Is worthy of the most severe human punishment and the committee mas iert such punishments to the courts. .

Sunday Tomorrow

Labor Sunday will be observed
with a suitable service and rmo
in St. Peters Episcopal church to-
morrow. The Sunday before Labor
Day was designated a few years ago
by the American Federation of La
Dor at the request OF the Federal
Council of the churches of Christ III
America, and its observance has met
with increasing favor among the var
ious communions throughout the
country. The observance of Labor
Sunday is one of the most effective
methods of showing the church's in
terest in the problems of the indus
trial worker of today. What the
working man asks is a fair and can
did consideration by Christian people
of his claim for human rights-a liv-
ing wage, reasonable hours and de-
cent working conditions. To aid n
the achievement of these worthy
aims is a legitimate part of tne
church's obligation and opportunity y.

order of service will be found will!
