New York, May 31.-As the result of refusing to take a dare" Mrs. David Crawford, twenty -four years old. of 715 East 2s7th street. a bride of less than five months, was drown ed in the Hudson river Saturday, and George Baldwin, a friend . almost shar- ed her fate. Baldwin was revived after Dr. Robert Denniston, of Dobbs Fer ry. had worked over him for more than an hour.
 Mir. Crawford, who Is an estimator for the American Bridge company, and his wife were members of a merry party of several young couples who hired Captain Julius Stewards steam yacht Irene to spend Decoratiog day on the river.

 As the Irene was approaching Ards ley-on- Hudson. Mrs. Crawford, who was sitting In the stern with Baldwin and three others. caught sight of the little dory training behind the yacht and said that if she could only get into it should could obtain a picture of the whole party and the boat
 With its bow lifted out of the water by the tow line. the dory looked any thing but safe. In fun Mrs. Crawford was dared" to reach 1t, no one dream ing she would make the attempt The young woman, laughingiy asserting she would never take dare like that. leaned over the rail, pulled the boat to the side. and the next moment had dropped over the side into it.
 The yacht was steaming along at about twelve miles an hour. As the dory drew it's tow line taut the little craft rolled dangerously and Mrs. Crawford found she could not take the photograph, because she could not let go of the sides of the boat. To help her Baldwin dropped into the boat
 Hardly was Baldwin seated than the steamer Republic passed and her wash swamped the dory, throwing Baldwin and Mrs. Crawford into the river. Both could swim, and for a moment there was not apparent danger. Then some one ran to Captain Stewart to tell him to stop the yacht.
 Crawford was standing beside Stew art. He ran to the stern and men in the party had to hold him to pre- vent him from leaping into the river. Already George Hfll Mrs. Crawford's brother, had dived in and was swim ming to her assistance.
 Before Hill could reach her Mrs Crawford had sunk. In her terror she grabbed Baldwin around the necls pulling both of them under. Hill dfved and. brought up Baldwin. He dived again and again. bnt could not find his sister.

 Heavily Fined
BY COLLECTOR AT VERA CRUZ
 FOR VIOLATION OF RULES
MESS BOY IS LIBERATED
Had strayed Within Mexican Lines and Was Arrested and Imprisoned as sPy-Was Gathering Fruit and Vegetables for Table of Officers of BattIeship Florida.

Vera Cruz. May 31-The Hamburg America nsteamer Ypiranga was still at her dock today, the collector of cus- toms, Capt. Herman O. Stickney, hav- ing refused to accept the bond for the Ypiranga and the Bavaria of the same line, which was proffered by Karl Hey nen, the general agent of the company in Mexico, because 1t vas drawn on Sunday. The bond was executed and Consul Canadas seal affixed. however, and the Ypiranga probably will sail for Havana tomorrow.
 It was said that an examination of the fines levied by Collector Stick ney on the two vessels for landing co shows that they amount to more than one million pesos, covering nu- merous infract1ons of the Mexican reg ulations
 When the company agent. the cap tain of the YpiIanga and Collector Stickney's representative reached the American consulate to have the bond sealed, Consul Canada said that once, in his youth, he had been victtmized in 8 Sunday horse trade, and the court refused him damages because it was a Sunday trade.
 Lieutenant Elliott, representing the collector. approaching the point of the consuls story, hastily left the consulate and when the Germans arrived at the customs house Collector Stbckney ex- pressed regret that he was not certain that the Mexican regulations made documents executed on Sunday valid an dpreferred to wait until Monday to accept the bond.
 Consul Canada was expecting today the arrival from the capital of the Fili- pino mess boy of the battleship Flor ida, having received a personal mes- sage from President Huerta assuring him that the boy had been released. The Filipino wandered across the lines several weeks ago in search of fruit aIh flowers for the tables of Rear Ad- miral Fletcher and Captain Rush. He was arrested by Mexican pickets, stripped of his clothing and sent to the Santiago prison in Mexico city Writin gin his native language to an- other mess boy and smuggling the let ter out, the Filipino said he had feared to tell the Mexicans that he was em- ployed on an American battleship and told them instead that he was living in Vera Cruz and made a business of selling fruit and flowers to the ships in the harbOr.
 Consul Canada promptly telegraphed to President Huerta, giving his word that the boy was not a spy and de- scribing his true employment. After a ninterval of ten days or more, he received Huerta's reply and instructed the Brazilian minister to supply the boy with money. clothing and a pass port, and send him on.
 A German rancher named Stahl who had been marooned 6s miles out side the American line arrived here to- day with his wife and two children. Friends of Stah1 had applied to the American consul to send a boat down the coast to get him. This the consul refused to do, but wrote to the German consul at Jalapa- who obtained a pass port, and started Stahl and his family for Vera Cruz by the Mexican railway.

Mediators' Action Will Depend Upo' Decisien of Washington Authorities.


 Niagara Falls. Ont May 51-Upon the Washington government depends whether the mediators will receive representatives of the Mexican consti- tutionalists. The South American en- voys. 1t became known tonight. have virtually resolved to go ahead with their plans for a two-party agreement between the United States and the Huerta government. and for the time being, ignore the question of consti- tutionalisfs representation. The only thing that might disturb such course would be a direct intimation from the United States that it will withhold ap- proyal of the plans already outlined for a new provisional government un- less disposition is promptly made of the subject of constitutionalist parti- cipation- The Mexican delegates have had no converse tions with the medi- ators on this point.
 Each side here is waiting for the other to make the first move. The Huerta delegates expect to receive to- morrow General Huerta's approval of the essentials of the peace plan, to- gether with his opinion on some of the names suggested for a new gov ernment Tho American delegates re- ceived much information along this line today from Washington. but no in timation as to how far they should press the subject of constitutional representation. There Is to be a con ference at II o'clock tomorrow at which the attitude of both the nedi- ators and the American delegates toward constitutionalist participet ton may more clearly be defined.

 "The Storstad at once lowered every one of her boats and sent them to save the passengers and crew of the Em- press, though she herself was in seri- ous danger of sinking.
