CERTAIN PEACE PLANS
ARE BEING DISCUSSED
BY the Mediators and the American
Delegates Based on Information
Which Has Been Obtained from
Washington.

NIAGARA FALLS. Ontario, June
6.-Definite word about the constitu-
tionalists, attitude toward mediation
is not expected by the South Ameri-
can ENJOYS until Monday or possibly
Tuesday.
They realize that General Carrau-
"a $ trip to Saltillo viii occupy him
during the next IS hours and they are
not disposed to worry about the de
lay, believing that time for delibera-
tion Is an essential at this moment
The mediators have no inkIing of
what the eonstitutionalists will do nor
have either set Of delegates.
Informal word conveyed here from
Washington indicates that the situa-
| tion is highly encouraging SO it is be-
| lieved the formal answer from Car
rama will not be drafted until he gets
more information from his agents IN
the United States than was contained
| in the correspondence with the med
iators
1t was expected that there would be
a conversation between the American
delegates and the mediatofs today re-
garding certain phases OF the peace
plans which the former have been
!
been obtaining information from
| Washington.
For the first time in four days tn,
American delegates conferred toda,
with the board Of mediators. The gen
eral peace plan was under discussion, i
having been decided that as muel
progress as possible should be mad
while word was being awaited fror
Gen. Carranza on the subject OF consti
tutionaiist representation.
After the conference Justice Lama
said the discussion today was on tn
same point which we had before Us las
Tuesday and before the Carranza il
cident arose
The Justice added that there wa
substantial agreement on the point

PROUTY CLUB
MAKES STATEMENT
Says Mr.. Prouty's Letter to Progress
sive State Committee Was Strong
Non Partisan Campaigns Document.
Especial to The Reformer.)

Especial to The Reformer.)
ORLEANS, June 6.
Prouty club officials yesterday gave
out the following statement regarding
the much discussed Prouty letter TO
Dr. Jackson:
''Our attention has been called to
the various interpretations which have
been published regarding the Prouty
letter addressed to DR.. Jackson of the
Progressive state committee. Several
papers and persons have construed the
letter to mean a withdrawal from
the race and as "A request that the
Progressive party withould endorsement
Of Mr.. Prouty's senatorial candidacy
and as a refusal to permit the use of
his name upon the Progressive ticket,
etc.
- copy of the letter was forward
ell to us by Mr.. Prouty on the day it
was written. 1t contains nothing
which could possibly be construed as a
withdrawal from the senatorial race; it
| does not request the Progressive party
! 10 withhold endorsement; and it does
| not refuse to permit that party to use
| Mr.. Prouty 5 name on its senatorial
ticket.
''On the contrary the letter is the
strongest non pdfLlSah campaign dCcu
lnent that has yet come to our atten-
tion. 1t points to the betterment oi
the working classes, the honest regula-
tion of big business, the restraint OF
the evils of monopoly and the tariff
as the principal issues of the day an,
! of prime Importance. Nothing in the
letter could be construed as a refusa
to accept the support Of the Progress
sive party or any other party or any
individual voter.
"The letter was not forwarded t,
us for publication and we regret tn,
necessity of thus correcting the falls,
impression which seems to have fol
lowed the discussion of the letter a
Brattleboro.
We again repeat our promise to Civ
the people o. Vermont an opportunit
to vote for Mr.. Prouty upon a nor
partisan ticket.

HARTFORD. Conn.. June s.


That Mrs. Susan B. Curtis, mother
of Mrs. Elizabeth Curtis Holman, has
for some years feared that her daugh-
ter might be suffering from brain

lc frenzy, was the revelation made
Yesterday afternoon during the prog
ress of Mrs Holman : $4,000 conspir-
acv suit against Professor Cranston
Brenton. Dr. Oliver C.. Smith and DR..
Paul Waterman.
This revelation, coupled with Mrs.
Holman 5 own admission that she had
contemplated suicide as a means OF es-
cape from her unhappiness, were the
most interesting of yesterday 5 devel-
opments.
1t was nearly noon when the lawyers
for the defense admitted that they
| were through cross-examining Mrs
| Holman and she left the stand where,
| for so many hours, she had borne uP
under the avalanche of questions hurl-
ed upon her The most startling state
ment made by her yesterday was that
| She had on one occasion, informed Pro
fessor Brenton that he would drive her
TO suicide.
He had replied, she said, that that
might be the best way out of it. As
a matter OF fact, she testified, she had
given serious thought to suicide and
had biehloride of mercury which she
. considered using for that purpose, but
that she was induced to surrender 1T
TO her mother.
Two dispositions from the other end
| Of the continent were introduced after
| Mrs Holman left the stand. They
were made by her mother, Mrs. Curtis,
B and by Miss Elizabeth NJ. Schubmehl,
p who for many years was IN the Curtis
family. both of whom are now living
D in California.
: The mother deposition was start

5 these she told of having had fears
