The defeat of All Jennings should
be source of satisfaction to every
good citizen in the state. Oklaho-
ma has already been disgraced by
the prominence given him. Had he
received the greatest number Of
votes he would not have been the
choice Of the Democratic party He
would have only been placed at the
head of the ticket by Republican ma
nipulation. The same organization
that refused the rank and file Of its
party to express their wishes in a

influence possible to inflict Jennings

Disposition of the Mexican Problem is Progressing Rapidly and Anothc CT Week May Witness Con clusiOn of Sessions
M$OR ISSUES
 NOW CONSIDERED
Points Yet to Be Taken Up Relate Chiefly to the h. ternal Problems and May
 Bring Out Some Recom- mendatiOnS
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPATcHl

NIAGARA FALLS, May 27.-The disposition of the Mexican problem by mediation had so far progressed at the end Ot today's conference that i; was predicted the protocol would be signed within a week. The main issues are understood to have been satisfactorily worked out in princi- rle, and il now only remains to be determined whether certain issues Of comparatively minor importance will be included in the scope of the negotiations.
 Issues of this nature it is under stood have been the subject of the conference held in Toronto between the mediators and American dele gates before attending the garden party given by the Duke and Duchess of Connaught to the mediation colony.
 Enroute tonight from Toronto back to Niagara Falls the mediators com muncated the views of the Ameri- cans to the Mexican delegates in in formal discussions aboard their spc- cial car
 The points yet to be taken mp, it is understood, relate chiefly to in ternal problems, and it is known t0 be the disposition of the mediators, if it is decided to seek agreement upon them at all. to treat them only in the form of recommendations for the guidance of the new provisional government, which it is hoped to es- tablsh in Mexico
 The attitude of the Mexican rep rosentatives is that these internal problems. while by no means unim- portant to Mexico. should not be en- tered into by this tribunal, inasmuch as the discussion of one would lead tc another. Thus almost intermin- able delay would result before a com mon understanding would be reached In this connection the Mexican dele gates brought up as an illustration the gOvernorships of the Mexican states and the problem of the rela- ton of the state governments to the provisional federal government, when il shall have been established.

Cabrera for Representation

NEW YORK. May 21.--"As long as we do not know what the conference is going to discuss, it is well to stay cut of it." Louis Cabrera, q promin- ent constitutionalist. said tonight, re- ferrine to the mediation congress.
 But when they take up the real issues we reel We ought to be repre- sented. l do not see how the medi- ation proceedings can come to a practical result without the constitu- tionalists. and without practical scope for them
 Cabrera arrivel in New York after two months with his family in Spain. He has been suggested as s compromise candidate for provision : al president of Mexico.
 Referring to the presidency Cabre- ra said:
 Tt must be Carranza Any other man would fail. even if he were a constitutionalist. Carranza is well known and has done work The people might hesitate about another man. We all recognize him as q leader"
 Cabrera added that he had report ed to CarranZa and to Zubaran in Washington and was awaiting in- struetiOns from them.

Chief Observer at Flagstaff Observatory Discovers Nebular Revolution Facts Which May Change the Theories of Universe
HOWELL RECEIVES WORD IN LONDON
Smithsonian Observer Says Discovery is World Shak- ing in That It Confirms a Place Theory, Making It a Basic Law
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcH1

WASHINGTON, May 27-Reports from London that Chief Professor Percival Lowell, director of the Flagstaff observatory in Arizona, now in London, had received word from Professor Slipher that spectograms made at Flagstaff show that Virgo's nebula are rotating, were received with interest in scientific circles to- day as possibly. throwing new light on the problem of stellar evolution and the origin of the universe.
 Professor Fowle, acting director of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Ob- servatory, said of the reported dis oovery:
 "Nebulae are great masses of gas appearing like gigantic pinwheels. and have been looked upon as worlds in the process of formation. They suggested La Faces famous nebular hypothesis of the origin of the earth and of the solar system. Their ap- pearance suggests rotation, but they are so far distint that even though rotating with velocities of many miles q second, in centuries such motion toward adjacent stars would be un- appreciable to the eye.
 'Spectograms, like the speedome- ters of automobiles indicate at once the speeds of bodies, but the nebulae are so very faint, most of them being invisible to the unaided eye. that only with the most powerful tele scopes may spectograms be obtained of them.
 This discovery of Shpher is in teresting as throwing a new light on the problem of stellar evolution and our origin. Although rotation has been suspected. no guess could have been made as to it's magnitude which Shpher's speetogram will probably tell.

State Convention of Rcpub- lican Party Holds Out Open Arms to Third Party to Unite Against Com mon Enemy
ADMINISTRATION
 IS CONDEMNED
Wilson is Accused of Fol lowing a "Naccilating, Un-American and Disas- trous' Policy in Affairs of His Office
ASSOCIATED PRESS pIspATcHl

ST. LOUIS. May a7.-The state convention of the republican party held out open arms to the pro- gressives of Missouri to return to the fold of republicanism; ratified the national committees proposal for q reduction of the representation of the southern states at the national con- Vention and denounced the present administration as following d vac cilating. un-American and disastrous policy.
 James Watson of Indiana, republi- can whip" in the national house of representatives in the Roosevelt ad- ministratiOn, made the principal speech and at it's height was over come by the heat. Three doctors worked over him for an hour. when he resumed his speech amid cheers He was referred to by subsequent speakers as the man who same day will be a candidate for an office upon which the whole country votes.
 Both Watson and Congressman L. C. Dyer of St Louis in addresses as serted the recently enacted tariff law is proving disastrous to the United States and quoted statistics from re- ports of the present administration which they declared proved their con- tention.
 The democratic party has failed signally to carry out the pledges of it's party" Watson declared. Wilson during the campaign asserted he was against secret legislation. Yet never before was tariff bill railroaded through congress as was the Under wood Simmons bill. The president dragged the house up like third reader class and said, 'recite or you get no pie They recited.
 As to the progressives, I want to close the door on that matter If a man will stand at my side against our common enemy-the democratic party-I will not ask him how he voted two years ago. We have a common enemy. Let us march side by side

FIVE YOUTHS ADMIT BEING
 AUTO THIEVES
Persistent Borrow ing of Cars Leads to Arrests Which It is Believed Will Break Up Gangs Opera tiOnS

After three weeks of repeated auto mobile thefts, the mysteries have been cleared up and five young men. well known in Phoenix, are in the city jail practically the confessed midnight joy riders.
 Those arrested last night by Officers J. H. Peters and Roy Morrill:
 Ralph Behny-
 Al Agetston.
 Manuel Castle.
 Russell Tannehill
 Y. F, Reynolds
 None of them over 9 years of age the gang has worked up an unique system of motor thieving, which has puzzled the owners and officers for nearly a month. Cars have just turn ed up missing-usuaily from in front of some place of amusement.
 The Garden seemed to be q favorite place of business. Between eight and ten cars were taken from that place They have been found in all parts of town, showing the effects of vigorous joy riding
 Rewards offered by the Arizona Mo- tor Company and others were not the only Inducements that caused the of ficers to exert special efforts on the case. The thefs had grown so ire quent and irritating that one night seven machines were sent out from the sheriffs office in an endeavor to in tercept the fly-by nights When Chief BrisbOis placed Peters and Morrill, on the case, the officers started watching the machines left at the different places of amusement By noting the actions of the young men they later arrested, they discovered that on nights when cars were reported miss ing, some or all the suspects would be 1 missing, too. Again, they noted the { repitition of thefts of Overlands and : Studebakers and guessed that the offences were being committed by the same parties-probably experts on , these cars or owners of switch keys to fit them.
 when Peters was pretty sure of his case. he arrested Manuel Castle at the Garden last night. It was not hard to get a confession, duplicating the other boys. Each drew the others into the net tighter until now the case is con- sidered strong enough to warrant hold : ing the suspects.
 The case of Pfaff will he remember ed The boys admitted taking Pfaffs rent car from the Garden driving it I to Tempe there leaving it with broken i transmission.
 In view of the fact the cases have drawn the attention of the dealers. and rewards have been offered, the outlook i may be serious for the culprits. The new law is strict on this point. and although the gang never attempted to make way with the machines by sell ing or trading them. they may stand | a chance of long sentences.

Had Been Kept in the Hold of the German Steamer Ypringa Since Occupation of Vera Cruz by the Yankees
DELIVERED AT
 PUERTO MEXICO
State Depart lent Says There Was No Way to Prevent This Without Violation of Previous Agreement
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH


 WASHINGTON. May 21-Ammu- milton consigned to the Huerta gov ernmont. which has been kept in the hold of the German steamer Ypiranga since the occupation of Vera Cruz is reported to have been landed today at Puerto Mexico. Consul Canada at Vera Cruz cabled this Information to the state department It is also re- ported from other sources to the war department that arms consigned to Huerta have been landed at Puerto Mexico from the German steamer Ba- varia. Both steamers belong 10 the Hamburg American line
 The mediation developments at Niagara Falls were reported to the president early in the day and as surances were reiterated that no seri- ous obstacles have yet been en- cOuntered Rumors and reports from i diplomatic agencies in Mexico City i that Huerta is making preparations tO leave Mexico City continued To i reach Washington. One report said that Huerta is trying to make ar engagements to leave here provided he could do so with dignity.
 l No effort to prevent the delivery of ammunition consignments have ! been made by officials of the United 1 States, Puerto Mexico being an open [ port and the United States having 1 agreed to a suspension of hostilities | during the mediation of the Mexican 1 imbroglio at Niagara Falls.
 It was made plain at the state de- partment that the only possible way | for the United States to have pre- vented the shipment of arms through 1 Puerto Mexico would have been to seize the customs house as was done at Vera Cruz when the Ypiranga was about to land her cargo at that port. This would have beeen an open vio- l lation of the suspension of hostilities and would have disrupted the media tiOn
 The reported delivery of these car goes caused considerable speculation
 in view of the fact that arms aboard
 the Hamburg American ship kron- prinzessin Cecilie, consigned to Huerta through Puerto Mexico several 1 weeks ago. were turned back on or ders from officials of the steamship company at Havana. At that time
 the Bavaria was reported en route
 with q cargo and announcement was made from the same source that the ammunition could not be landed upon
 orders from the steamship company | Why a different disposition of the cargoes at this time was made, the government officials did not appear to understand, but the suggestion was made that the arms on the krOn prinzessin Cecilic originated from an American source and delivery was prevented by order of the American shippers through the steamship of ficials.
 Robert Lansing, counsellor of the state department, made public the re- ports concerning the delivery of the arms and ammunition to Huerta, Sec
