Fatally Hurt When Motorcyc
Hits Pole.

Charles F. Stockwell of 3 Mill street,
Worcester, was probably fatally injured
in a motorcycle accident at Weston
bridge, Weston, Saturday night. There
were no witnesses to the accident, but 1t
appeared that the rear tire of Stockwell s
machine had burst causing the motor
cycle to skid and go head-on into an
electric light pole hurting the rider
ovel the handle-bar head-foremost into
the pole. Stockwell had fracture at
the base of the skull and other injuries,
from which it was said at the Newton
Hospital he probably would not recover.
The accident happened on the Weston
side of the bridge. George Crowley,
chauffeur for Mrs. d. l.. Young of Wes-
ton, was driving along Newton Boule-
ward toward Newton, and said he passed
by Stockwell, who was riding at fast
clip. Patrolman Arthur Hardy of the
Metropolitan Park police, heard the ex-
plosion of the tire and stepped out OF
the station on the Newton side of the
bridge to investigate, as Crowley came
along and found Stockwell lying in
the roadway unconscious beside the
wrecked motorcycle.
Crowley and the policeman placed
Stockwell in the formers automobile
and hurried him to the Newton hospi-
tai, where he was operated upon in an
effort to save his life. Boston Herald.

Washington, April 80. Restrained,
but none the less steady, preparation
for any military eventualities that may
become necessary and the quiet, but
definite progress of the mediation pro-
gram being worked out behind closed
doors-these were the two outstanding
features of the Mexican situation here
today.
The three mediation ENJOYS of Ar
gentina, Brazil and Chile continued their
private sittings through the day and
evening. Their first move for an armis-
tice was succeeded by the virtual sus-
pension of hostilities, or a truce between
the United States and the Huerta
regime, although there were still omni-
GUS sounds of conflict between the
Huerta and Carranza forces.
Secretary Bryan formally notified the
three South American ENJOYS that the
American government took it for grant
ed that there would be no hostilities
during the mediation proceedings and
had intended no further acts of agrees
sion while the conferences were being
held. But the attitude of Huerta and
Carranza in the cessation of hostilities
was still unknown tonight.
While there has been no period set with
in which the negotiations must be con-
cluded, Secretary Bryan said today he
believed they would move forward "as
rapidly as possible" A report the t they
might be prolonged by the mediatcrs
going to Mexico was met by the state
ment by one of them that in these days
of telegraph and cable such a journey
was unnecessary, as they had every
facility for speedy communication with
Mexico.

THE MEXICAN SITUATION.

Washington, April 30.-Gen. Huerta
tonight accepted the proposal that there
be no further hostilities between the
United States and Mexico pending the
efforts of the ENJOYS of Argentina,
Brazil and Chile to bring about an
amicable settlement of difficulties be-
tween the countries.
Secretary Bryan drove to the Argen-
tina legation shortly before 10 o'clock
tonight and went into conference with
the three mediators.

KRAFT. OR MULLEN.
II KRAFT Makes Good In Fast Company !
s Mullen Goes.

New York, July 23-Clarence Kraft,
the first baseman who was the subject
OF the late quarrel between the
National commission and the Baseball
Players fraternity will play with New
York against Detroit at the Polo
grounds this afternoon. President Far
rell OF the New Perks purchased Kraft
from Charles Ebbets. the Brooklyn and
Newark magnate yesterday. The terms
Of the transaction were not announced.
It II believed the acquisition Of the
man who almost precipitated q general
strike in the major leagues means the
departure Of Charl.o Mullen, who has
been playing a few games at the flrst
corner for Frank Chance. Farrell an
nounced yesterday that he would retain
Mullen for the time. But It 10 under
stood he will not keep him long.
Mullen was obtained from Lincoln.
Neb., during the New York's first
swing around the western wing Of the
American league He came to Chance
for 30 days trial. The understanding
was that Farrell was to pay 800 for
the youngster IL he made good in fast
company.
Mullen's fate, Of course, rests upon
Krafts ability. The new first baseman
comes with the reputat ton Of a slugger.
But he is an untried quantity In the
major league. Mullen il as fine q field
er as can be found anywhere In the
American league. His hitting has inn
proved with every game. Against De-
troft's best pitchers yesterday he had
three hits in seven times at bat
