CARRANzA SILENT: IS CONSTRUED AS
 FAVORABLE OMEN
Believed COnstitutiOnalists Carefully Weighing Ad- visibility of Entering
 Peace Negotiations

Niagara Falls, June ! 4.-Mediation eral Carranza on constitutionalist par v tieipation at the conferences here, but no word came The silence was regarded as a favorable omen, for 1t was interpreted as meaning that the constitutionalists were weighing carefully the advantages of mediation
 There were no conferences again today. The American commissioners stayed at their hotel studying data already fur nshed them by the Washington govern ment on persons mentioned for the new provisional government The Mexican delegates talked among themselves. It was rainy, dreary day. An answer from Carranza-or at least intimation of it's character-is expected tomorrow. Should the constitutionalists decide to send delegates, there will be delay of a few days, as the mediators have asked them to send their representatives at their convenience, afrording time for in formation by General Carranza.
 In that event the mediators may de- clare a short recess, attending in the meantime, to neglected personal affairs The work of mediation would be renewed as rapidly as possible and the mediators are confident of making even faster prog ress than heretofore when they have all parties in the controversy represented
 Means of communication for the consti tutionalists are even better than is pos sessed by the Huerta delegates. A direct telegraph line could be set up from here to Durango, Mexico, General Carranza s headquarters, so that he could be kept constantly informed and furnish prompt replies to questions as they arise

COURT DECIDES IN
 FAVOR OF CONVICT
Supreme Court Affirms Birmingham Court in Granting s1O.50 to Negro
 Employed by Tennessee Co,


 Montgomery, June 4.-(Special.)-Th su- preme court today affirmed the judgment of the Birmingham city court in granting q$105O to Alex Butler, a negro convict, for being kept at hard labor by the Tennes- see Coal, Iron and Railroad company for a longer period than the company was entitled to hold him.
 The evidence in the case showed that the Tennessee company kept Butler at hard labor for it for several days after he had worked out nis costs at the rate of 75 cents per day, but discharged him before the time had expired for him to work out his costs at the rate of 70 cents per day. The convict then sued the company for the value of his labor be- tween thesdate when under the legal part of the judgment sentencing him to hard labor he was entitled to his discharge, and the date on which he was actually discharged
