CARRANZA ANSWERS NOTE

Niagara Falls. Ont. June 9.-The
mediators to-day submitted to the
Mexican delegates the counter-pro-
posals of the American government
for the pacfication of Mexico. The
American plan is, with few modifica-
tionS. the same as that which the
mediators and Mexican delegates re-

eral Huerta approved. 1t provides the
method of transferring the executive
power in Mexico City from the present
regime to a new provisional govern
ment which shall in a few months
conduct elections for president, vice.
president and members of congress.
No names have been agreed upon
between the Mexican or American
delegates for the new provisional
president or his cabinet. In fact
neither side has yet made its nomi-
nations.
The program of the proceedings is
about as follows:
Within a day or two the Mexican
plan and the American plan will have
been dovetailed into one and a full
conference of all parties will be called
Final approval is not expected inn
mediately frdm either party. however,
as the mediators then will ask the
American delegates to begin to ascer-
tain the attitude of the Constitution
alists. This may proceed through the
Washington government or in any
manner the delegates choose. The
mediators will take a brief recess in
the meantime.

Swaths Her Pretty
Ankle With a Crisp
Ten Dollar Bill

With her left ankle wrapped with
a crisp new ten dollar bill, a young
woman caused a sudden depression in
business as she promenaded up and
down Market street this morning.
There was just one bank note. It
fitted neatly about the ankle. There
was no question about the denomina-
ton of the bill The young woman
also wore white silk stockings. Fur
thermore they were drop stitch, often
termed "open work" That Is why the
ten dollar bill was so plainly visible.
A slit skirt of the latest style was a
factor in the display of the neat ankle
adornment.

the courts attention to the matter,
but he tackled on a subtle sort of
