PRESIDENT BACKS
CAUSE OF REBELS

Niagara Falls, Ont. June 1.-From
developments today in the Mexican
mediation situation it was evident the
American delegates would champion
the cause of the constitutionalists UNI
TIL 1t had been determined whether the
Carranza faction will have personal
representation here during the con-
OF the negotiations.
John +. Urquidi. General Carran-
Zas special messenger. called on the
American delegation today and dis
cussed with Mr.. Lehman, the consti-
tutlonallsts' attitude toward mediation.
The mediators themselves conferred
at some length in respect to the char
acter or answer to be made to General
communication. They were
inclined toward a mere acknowledge
ment, but the indications are that the
wish of the Washington government
will prevail that full consideration be
given the constitutionalists. If so, the
negotiations will be prolonged.
The mediators had believed it would
be possible to frame a protocol deal
ing with the important phases of the
controversy between the United States
and General Huerta and such of the
internal questions that must be settled
here. which General CarranZa would
approve. Then certain details would
have been left to more leisurely settle
ment after the return of the mediators
to Washington. 1t is understood now
that the ENJOYS have yielded to argu-
ments from Washington that there
should be no adjournment of the Mag
ara Falls meeting until disposition is
made of all questions before it. SHOULD
satisfactory arrangements be made
whereby General Carranza may be
willing to send delegates on terms sat
isfactory to the mediators. it is pos
sible tina the conferences might con-
tinue for two or three weeks or more.

New York Central Resolution
Puts Trust Case Up to At
torney General.

Washington. d. c., June 1.-Senatol
Norris. by his New York Central reso-
luton. expects to a situation
as to financing which if not as objec-
tionable as the New Haven's will at
least be indefensible. His resolution.
calling On the attorney general for a
report whether the New York Central
is a combination in violation of law,
and whether he c~ontemplates prosecu-
ton is preliminary.
1t is intensely embarrassing to the
department of Justice and to democratic
senators who upheld McReynolds. They
are trying to s~idetrack it by throwing
1T to the Interstate Commerce commits
sion.
Senator Norris. however, believes it
will pass sooner or later and cannot
permanently be si~detracked.
If McReynolds reports there is a
combination then he will either have
to prosecute or be put in the attitude
OF UNFOLDING violation of law. That a
combination which is unlawful does ex-
list is the opinion of Senator Norris.

Quebec. June 1.-Stories of the loss
of the Empress of Ireland brought to
Quebec las ni"ht by the survivors

tragedy in the annals of the ST. Law

death. while with those who persisted
on the Empress there was little time
for ref1ecticA or prayer.
From the of the saved, it
seems that Don after the ship was
rammed she careened on her side until
her deck stood at right angles to the
water She slid slowly into the water
and it was only possible to launch five
boats in the brief interval before she
sank.
