FUNERAL OF SENATOR BRADLEY.

Services as simple as those attend
ing the burial of the humblest~ citizens
took place in the room where the body
of the late Senator w. o. Bradley lay;
But outside the hush of suspended
business, broken only by the measured
booming of the governors salute from
Arsenal Hill, the immense throngs
gathered in the street and at the GENE
terry, and the presence at the services
of personages high in national and
state affairs, made the obsequies of
the dead statesman public occasion.
1t was the most distinguished gath
ering attended the burial of public
man in Frankfort in many years, and
thousands viewed the cortege as it
passed to the cemetery, while as many
more had secured places of advan-
tage to see the cortege arrive. Every
available public vehicle in Frankfort
and Lexington and many private con-
veyances, were engaged to carry the
visitors, who came from Washington
and all sections of the state to pay
their respects to the memory OF the
late senator Grouped along the
route and in the cemetery were hun
dreds of negroes, indicating that the
race which had followed him in life
revered his memory in death. State
and city joined in showing every pos
sible mark of respect of the occasion

PLAN FOR NEW POWER HOUSE.
Mechanical Seniors Complete Electric
Power System at Hazard.

Lexington, KY. = The graduating
class in the Mechanical college have
completed their thesis work on the de-
sign of monster power plant at
Hazard. The men have been working
on this for several months and now a
hundred drawings have been COM

cations have been completed. This is
the first work of its kind that has ever
been attempted by any mechanical
college and has been carried out to the
minutest detail. The plans are now
complete so that a contractor could
take them up and go right on with the
plant Professor Anderson will enter

CARRANzA HITS
MEDIATORS' PLAN
Bars All Governments in Mexico
Not Created by His Own
Forces.
MUST TAKE CAPITAL FIRST
Willing, However, to Join Mediation
for Settlement of Issues Between
Mexican People and U. s.. II
Invited to Do So.

Mediation Headquarters, Clifton Ho-
tel, Niagara Falls, Ont, May 30.-Gen-
eral Carranza will refuse to agree to
the formation Of any provisional gov
ernment in Mexico except such as his
own forces may create after ne has
taken the capital He is willing, how
ever, to join in the mediation confer
ence for a settlement of issues be-
tween the Mexican people and the
United States, if he is invited to do so.
This was the message brought to
the Latin-American mediators by
John Urquidi, an agent of the consti-
tutionalist government Urquidi is
brother of the late President Ma
dero's minister of communications.
He was sent here to act for the con-
stitutionalists.
Bore Letter From carranza.
Urquidi bore a formal letter from
General Carranza setting forth the
constitutionalist chiefs views on the
| purely internal aspects of the situ-
alton. This letter made it clear that
General Carranza will positively de-
cline to admit the discussion of the
land question or any of the other in
ternal affairs of Mexico to any media
ton proceedings.
THE document which 1 bring from
General CarranZa to Ambassador Da
Cana deals solely with the interna-
tional questions at issue here said
Mr.. Urquidi. 1T does not deal with
the internal problems of Mexico. Cen
eral Carranza has already made clear
his position on the subject. He has
| declared that the internal questions
must be dealt with by Mexicans alone,
and that he cannot consent to their
discussion by any mediation confer
ence in which he way be represented.
1T follows that he cannot agree to
any proposal for the creation OF pro-
visional government since it is purely
a domestic affair. He has not changed
his opinion on that point
THE constitutionalist government is
willing to enter into the discussion
here of the international questions for
the settlement of which there is need.
1t is to that matter that the document
bring is addressed"
: Optimistic Over Mediation Plans.
Washington, May .30.-Even greater
optimism than heretofore was eX-
pressed at the White House that the
Mexican mediation negotiations will
be successful. The reason for this
confidence rests in the dispatches that
President Wilson has received from
Niagara Falls, although it was definite
ly stated that the proceedings there
y still are in a tentative stage and that
nothing in the way of an agreement
is expected before next week.
The complications over the alleged
= landing of arms and ammunition from
the German vessels YPiranga and Ba
varia at Puerto Mexico are held in
5 abeyance pending an investigation in
Il to the facts.
To settle all doubt as to whether the
Il munitions of war carried by the Ger
Z man steamers Bavaria and YpirangS
were landed at Puerto Mexico, the
} army and navy departments sent In
IL structions to Admiral Badger and Gen
e eral Funston to make a definite repor
on the matter.

In the opening up and developing of
the rich coal-producting regions OF
West Virginia and Eastern Kentucky
are summarized the most significant
events in the recent material history
of those states. The work has in
volved the unification of many scatter
ed antagonistic interests, the forma-
tion of strong operating organization
and the extension of railroad lines
into a vast area hitherto inaccessible,
giving to its mineral wealth adequate
outlet to the markets of the manufac-
turing districts of the country. In the
achievement of this triple task Mr..
Camden has played "a conspicuous
part
Mr.. Camden was born at Parkers
burg, W. Va, January 5, 1865, the son
of johnson Newton and Anne (Thomp-
SOM Camden. On the paternal side of
the family he is of English, and on the
maternal of Scotch-Irish and Dutch
ancestry His father was for many
years one of the foremost citizens of
West Virginia, a powerful factor alike
in its political life and material de.
velopment. He had large holdings of
oil and coal properties, and was iden-
titled with many enterprises in con-
nection Herewith. He represented
the state as United States senator
from 1881 to 1887, and from 1893 to
1895. Mr. Camden was educated at
Phillips Andover academy and the Vir-
ginia Military institute at Lexington,
Va; afterward attending the Colum-
bia Law school, New York City.
He entered upon his active career as
treasurer and paymaster of the Ohio
River railroad, line which had been
built by the elder Camden. This posi-
ton he resigned to become president
and treasurer of the construction COM
pany which was engaged in the build
ing of road later known as the Mo-
nongahela River railroad, and extend
ing from Fairmont to Clarksburg, w.
Va. In this work he continued until
the completion of the line.
In 1890, with the object of recuper-
ating his health, he took up his resi-
dence on the family estate of about
1,600 acres one of the handsomest and
most characteristic of the Blue Grass
known for generations as the Spring
Hill Farm, at Versailles, KY. Not con-
tent to lead here life of idleness, he
found congenial occupation in the
breeding of thoroughbreds. Purchas-
ing the noted stallion Spendthrift with
thirty choice mares from James R.
Keene, he acquired from time to time
many thoroughbred mares, and lated
added to this stud such Imported
horses as Esther, Albert, Oddfellow,
Mazagan, St. Simonian and Peter
Ounce.
Becoming actively interested in poll
tics in 1911, he served on both the
Executive and Financial Committees
of the State Democratic Committee;
and took prominent part in the fall
campaign, which, winning a sweeping
Democratic victory throughout the
state, overturned the Republican plu-
rality that for number of years pre-
| vious had been regularly polled.
