CLEANING OF THE
CITY HAS BEGUN;
WORK GOES ON
City School Pupils to Take
Part in Cleaning Up OF
the City
SQUADS TO
HAVE CONTEST
Mayor Issues Proclamation
Urging Everybody to
Clean Up

TIE work of cleaning the city began
yesterday and everything is now ready
ready for the final day of the crusade
against the refuse-the accumulation
of an entire winter. The citizens of
Paris entered into the movement with
a spirit that bids fair to develop into
one of the greatest events in the his
tory of the city.
Property owners and occupants be-
gan yesterday to clean their premises
and the result was practically every
business house an dreSidence has be-
fore it barrels of refuse to be removed
to-day and tomorrow by the convey
ances to be provided by the city for
the purpose.
Not only are the property owners
engaged in the work of cleaning the
city, but the boys-s;uGents at the
public schools, will engage in the
work.
The male pupils of the school have
been divided into squads and trained
in the duties they are to perform to-
day by DR.. T. M. FAIRIES and Prof. Hen
bricks. Each squad will have a cap
tain who will direct the work, and the
squads will compete for the prizes
offered by Miss Lucy Simms, mem.
Der of the Health anc Welfare League
which is promoting the endeavor.
From all accounts, the boys, under
the direction of the captain of the
squad, have progressed rapidly in
their lines of duty, and will undoubt
edly do themselves proud on the occa,
sion Of their first effort to make the
city cleaner. 1t is said that some
have endeavored to ridicule those who
viii enter into the work to-day. This
however, is making but little impress
sion on the boys who are to be en-
gagged, and they will enter upon Their
noble duties with spirit that can not
but result in success.
Mayor j. T. Hinton has issued z
proclamation, in which all are re
euested to clean their premises, plac
ing the refuse on the sidewalks thai
it may be removed by the wagons
which will be provided.

the exclusion Of Ulster from the op-

Of the province of Ulster, which Is to
be dealt with under the bill, will au-

years or a slightly longer period, un-
less renewed by a resolution of the
house of commons. 1t will be open
to the house of lords to amend the
amending bill further In this direc-

opinion that Sir Edward Carson and
the Ulster party are bound by their
declarations at least to consider in
convention this attempt to meet fur

disposed to discuss the amending bill

LITTLE HOPE IS
REMAINING NOW
With the American and Huerta Mis-
sbons Definitely Committed Before
the World, Difficult situation is Gre
ated-AIediators to Submit Names.

Niagara Falls, June 19.-The Amer
lean and Huerta delegates hold firm
ly to opposite views as expressed by
them in public statements explaining
the type Of man desired by each side
for. provisional president Of Mexico.
Both sides having gone on record
before the world. the prospect that
neither will! give way and that a dead
lock will result in the complete
breakdown of the mediation, grows
greater.
On the return from Washington OF
Minister Naon, there is to be con-
ference Of the mediators and two sets
Of delegates. 1t Is to be determined
then whether a common ground re-
mains for agreement
Only the abandonment Of the acad-
emic discussion of the type Of man.
and the continuance Of the search for
an individual acceptable to all parties,
can return the situation from its
hopeless state toward the channel of
possible solution.
Faint Hope Left.
American delegates have some new
names to submit, but the Huerta dele
gates have opposed energetically all
persons suggested thus far. and there
iB little likelihood that any name
emanating from the American dele
gates will be considered seriously.
Tho mediators as lasteresort will
submit a list Of Ave nafnes Tk6re IL
a faint hope that one OF these will
be acceptable, but even the 'mediators
do not profess optimism.
Aside from their inability to select
man for provisional president, a
controversy has developed between
the American and Huerta delegates as
to how the elections for permanent
president. to be conducted by the pro-
visional government. shall be SUPER
vised.
Likewise, the American delegates
In insisting on a constitutionalist for
provisional president. argued that the
constitutionalists not only dominate
the country from military point of
view. but numerically. 1t is enprati-
cally denied that the constitutionalists
controlled the greater population,
saying millions of people have been
passive, and had not indicated in any
way that they favored the revolution.
