CRISIS is REACHED
In PEACE PARLEYS

Niagara Falls. Ont. June 16.-Re-
ports that the Mexican delegates to
the mediation conference were pre-
pairing to withdraw on account Of the
inSiStence of the Americans in es-
pousing a constitutionalist for provis-
ional president of Mexico, were de-
clared without foundation today when
the mediators and delegates resumed
their sessions.
Emilio Rabasa, head of the Mexican
delegation authorized the statement
that no charges of bad faith against
the United States had been made at
any time. He insisted the Mexican
delegates had not wired for permission
to withdraw n that the negotiations
had never reached such a stage. He
added that until the American plan was
submitted in writing last week the
Mexican delegates had no intimation
of the desire of the United States that
a conStitutionalist be chosen.
Augustin Rodriguez, another of
the MeXicon delegates was emphatic in
his statement that the Mexican dele
gates were not preparing to withdraw.
He said they would exhaust every eff
fort n make every concession with
in reason in order to arrive at a peace
full solution.
All sides are practically agreed now
that on the selection of a provisional
president of Mexico the success or
failure of mediation depends. The
Huerta delegates AVE suggested five
names. The Americans have in
formally suggested several, but are
waiting for a complete list from Wash
ingtOn,

NEXT PRESIDENT MUST BE
SATISFACTORILY TO REBELS

Washington. June 16.-Secretary
Bryan conferred at length with Presi-
dent Wilson over the progress of the
Mexican mediation today and immedi-
ately afterward dispatched a long tele-
gram to the American delegation at the
Niagara conference, which it was un-
derstood, concerned the character and
personnel of the proposed provisional
government and the attitude of the
Mexican delegates who objected to a
provisional executive with constitutions
alist learnings.
Mr.. Bryan would not discuss the ma
ture Of his conference with the presi-
dent n would only say thai media
ton was progressing satisfactorily
The opinion pIeThiled here thai the
United States would not recede in it's
desire to have named as the head of
the temporary government which
would succeed Huerta. a man who
would be acceptable to the revolutions
airy faction.
The presence in Washington Of
Pedro Villa continued to arouse
speculation, and a report was persistent
that adherents of Felix Diaz, repre-
sented by Del Villar and the Huertatis-
tas had patched up their differences
and were acting together to- exert the
strongest possible influence before the
mediators. Del Villar is said to have
conferred with representatives of
Huerta.
Co~nstitutionalist agents in Washing
ton had received no reply from the
mediators today to the offer of Car
rama to send delegates to Niagara

Graham and two companions. e. ID

NEW CALIFORNIA VOLCANO
HURLS FORTH BIG ROCKS

Red Bluff, Cal, June 16.-Ninety
miles south of the Oregon line and so
miles west of the Nevada line, Mount
Lassen, the worlds newest active VOL
eIano, spluttered through the early
hours today. What may come from her
two new cones, which popped into ex-
istence last night, or the third, which
has been getting larger steadily since
May 80, is a matter of much scientific
conjecture.
Her activities, beginning with gey-
ser-like steam clouds two weeks ago,
thus far hav augmented steadily, I'M
til a burs of smoke rising 1000 feet
yesterday morning was followed last
night by a pillar of fire and cloud
clearly visible 100 miles down the rich
Sacramento valley, convincing the
most skeptical that for the present a
Jesse Wright and J.. H. Reagan. of
Reddingn. arrived here early today,
having reached a point within three
quarters of a mile of the main crater.
They said they were enveloped in sui
phurous fumes and saved themselves
from Suffocation by burying their faces
in the snow.
So far as could be learned, the crater
Of May 80. which started as an en-
larged assure, is the most active. From
it yesterday rose a great black cloud
like a burning oil Well"
1t lured Lane Graham, a 200-pound
lumberman, and seven companions up
the slope until they. like the two Red
ding men. were smitten by the noxious
vapors. They threw themselves into
snow banks, while hot ashes and rocks
flew among them. One rock cut off
the arm of Graham and tore open his
breast. Graham, however, lived all
day and perhaps all night, While relay
parties tried to bring him down the
mountain in a blanket litter.
