HALE AND DENNIS
MAY ACT FOR j. 5.
At A. B, {. MEET
Local Men Believed in Line to
Represent Country in Set
tling Dispute With Dicta-
tor of Mexico.

Two former Richmond men are be-
lieved to be in line for appointments
as representatives of the United
States at the mediation conference to
be held at Niagara Falls, Canada,
which has been called by the diplo-
matte representative of Argentina,
Brazil and Chilli, which countries are
conducting negotiations between the
United States and Mexico, to settle, if
possible, by peaceful means the diff
ferences between the two countries.
The men referred to are William
Bayard Hale, a brother of Alton Hale
of this city, and William c. Dennis, a
son of Prof David w. Dennis of Earl
ham college. Both men have had con-
siderable diplomatic training and are
thoroughly cOnversant with the Mexi-
can situation.
President Wilson and Secretary of
State Bryan are expected to select
four men to represent the United
States at the mediation conference.
They have discussed many names
pending the arrival of Huerta's four
representatives in this country and it
would occasion no surprise If either
Mr.. Hale or Mr.. Dennis were selected
as one of the members of the Ameri-
can commission.
During the troubles preceding the
landing of the American troops in
Vera Cruz Mr.. Hale was President
Wilson's confidential agent in Mexico
and he probably has as complete
knowledge of Mexican affairs of ad-
visors to the president on Mexican
conditions.
William G.. Dennis is one of the best
k1own international lawyers in Wash
ington. At one time he was solicitor
of the state department and has been
a member of two American commits
sions sent to The Hague peace tribu-
nal. He was also a member of an
American commission appointed to
settle an America ann Mexican boundary
dispute, and while engaged in that
work became very familiar with Mex
lean conditions. Like Mr.. Hale he is
one of the best trained and most ex-
perienced of the younger American
diplomats.

7. P. A. To DEFY GOODWIN
AND STAGE BADGER FIGHT

The annual convention of the In
diana T. p. A., to be held in Rich
mond Friday and Saturday of this
week, will not be featured by any of
the usual lively contests for state Of
ces in the organization. 1t is the
general belief of local members of the
order that all the present officers will
be advanced.
1t was learned today that one of the
features of the banquet to be served
at the Coliseum Friday night will be
an exciting exhibition of that great
national sport, badger fight. The
referee of this fight has not been Sc
lected. Much depends on the referee
in a badger fight. and unusual care
will be taken in his selection. The
referee has to be a particularly cour-
ageous man, for one of his duties is
to pull the ferocious badger out of his
cage. The bull pup which is to meet
the badger in battle royal at the Coli
scum has been selected. and Is said to
be one of the finest bred pit fighters"
in the city.
Chief Goodwin, of the Richmond po-
lice department has threatened to raid
the Coliseum in the event the badger
fight is pulled off, but members of

SETTLEMENT
SUITS BUSINESS MEN
Residents of Beallview Ex-
pect Boom to Follow Ex-
tension Provided in T. H.,
l. and E. Agreement.

South end people today expressed
great pleasure over the fact that
Mayor Robbins and members Of the
board of public works had been sue
cessful in securing definite promise
from General Superintendent Jeffries,
of the 7. H., l. and E. Traction com
pany to extend the South Eighth street
city car line into Beallview.
For several years the building up of
that addition has been greatly handi-
capped because street car service Only y
extended as far south as H street.
Now that city car line is to be placed
in Beallview it is expected there will
be real estate boom in that part of
the city.
AT the conclusion of our interview
with Mr.. Jeffries and Mr.. Warner, of
the traction company, yesterday, told
them that if the South Eighth street
line extension and the Morton park
line were not constructed within a rea-
sonable length of time, in considera-
ton of the city's action in yielding it's
demand for the raising of the Main
street bridge, | would consider the
company had broken binding verbal
contract President Bavis. of the
board, said today, and both officials
assured me IudL luo company WOulu
cheerfully fulfill its part of the agree
ment.'
The action of the city officials in
agreeing to a plan of reducing the
grade Of Main street under the rail-
road bridge five inches at each curb
and ten inches in the center of the
street, where the car tracks are to be
placed, met with the approval of the
business men of the city.
Within a short time the company
will construct it's line on North Nine
teenth street from E street to Morton
park, SO that the work of cementing
that street will not be interferred with
1t is believed the South Eighth
street line extension will not be start
ed until after the completion of the
Morton park line.
The reduction of the grade of Main
street under the railroad bridge does
not mean that the railroad bridge will
never be raised. The city officials
hope that project can be satisfactorily
carried out within three or four years.
Mr. Jeffries frankly states that he
would like to have the bridge raised,
because under existing conditions only
specially constructed traction cars can
be operated over the Indianapolis
Dayton line

Comments on Order.

The designation of five banks in

the First National bank, as a mere
formality to comply with the laws re-
garding corporations and similar Or

tion of two electors from each of the
three groups to elect the six directors
who will form the board with the sew
enth man who will be appointed to
the dictatorship.
All Richmond banks and the trust
company are in the first group, con-
tsisting Of banks with capital Of $780,
900 or more. Group two will consist
OF banks having capital of $4,000 to
500 900. and group thre will be made
up of banks having capital less than
S5O,0O0.
On the folder sent the banks, Chi
cago banks are listed first with an ag-
gregate capital Of $47.S00.000 Indian

half of the entire state. Indiana banks
in the federal reserve system have an

BOSTON, May 6-Clothing taken
from a corpse and used on boat hook
brought rescue to thirteen survivors
of the burned steamer Columbian.
Captain Miller, of the Cunard liner,
Franconia, which picked up the thir-
teen survivors and the body of the
chief steward, told his own story of
the rescue in wireless messages from
his vessel today. His report follows:
I'VE received a wireless from the
steamer George at 11:24 a. m. on
May 4, that the Seydlitz passed in
Ais north, SO: :O7 west a large steam
er burning all over the hull, high out
of water, foremast and funnel gone
and no people on board.
"On receipts of the Georges mes
sage 1 changed my course to cross
the position given of the burning
steamer. We arrived there at 3 p. m.
We could discover no trace of the
wreck, but we decided that owing to
the false report that the Franconia
had made rescues, and fearing it's in
fluence upon other possible rescue
steamers, to encircle the position in a
six miles radius.
Adrift Forty Hours.
"At $3.50 p. m. sighted a boat on
my starboard bow. Being already pre-
pared for a rescue the occupants Of
this small boat were taken on board
the Franconia in a few minutes. A
heavy swell was running at the time,
so took the precaution of putting out
my seaboats to cover their embarka-
tion. The boat contained thirteen
men and a corpse lying awash in the
bottom of the boat. The survivors

an oil operator at Tampico, who was
in the capital today, described the
situation. He said:
Intense bitterness among MeXicans
toward Americans followed the battle
between the rebels and Federals in
Tampico. The Mexicans blame the
Americans for all the trouble during
the last three years. After the battle,
Americans considered it unsafe to
move about and remained indoors.

MANHATTAN SAVES CAPTAIN.
Twenty-seven Survive Explosion of III
fated Columbian.

HALIFAX, N. S., May 6.-Captain
John Mcdonald, of the British freight
steamer Columbian, which was burned
at Sea Monday night, and thirteen
members of the crew have ben picked
up by the steamer Manhattan.
These with the thirteen survivors
saved by the Cunard liner Franconia,
brought the total of the rescued up
to twenty-seven. There is one body on
the Franconia.
News of the saving of Captain Nc
Donald and his men by the Manhattan
was received here today in wireless
message by way of Sable Island.
The following is the message:
Manhattan picked up one boat Of
Columb bian, captain and thirteen others.
One engineer killed in explosion and
one drowned leaving ship. Manhat-
tan still searching for other boat"
When this message was received
there had still be no word of the life
boat containing nineteen men mention
ed by survivors on the Franconia.
All along the coast today wireless
messages were flashed to outgoing
and inbound vessels to keep vigilant
watch for boats which might contain
survivors Of the burned ship.
That the series of explosions which
followed the outbreak Of fire on the
Columbian came with suddenness was
evidenced by the fact that the wire
less apparatus was wrecked while one
of the operators was sending out an
S. o. S. call. The survivors on the
Franconia were in a state Of collapse
from forty-eight hours exposure, and
if the officers and seamen in other
boats were not picked up, few of them
would probably survive sixty hours
in an open boat on the North Atlantic,
where the water is always wind tossed
and navigation for small crafts is dan
gerOus.

General Funston T&*ws Up

+ W y,HINGTON, May 6.-Mexican
Fed soldiers are concentrating
bouJlfxenty miles west of Vera Cruz
and have trained their field artillery
upon the pumping station at Vera Cruz
and are guarding railroad tracks lead

patton of forward march by Ameri-
can s.ldiers.
This information was received from
Brigadier General Funston in a mes
sage to the war department today.
Ge, lral Funston reported that under
the authority given him by Secretary
of War Garrison to extend his lines
to the west of Vera Cruz as far as
necessary, he has advanced his out
posts about a mile beyond the pumping
station. He has thrown up breast
works of sand bags and taken other
precautionary measures.
Funston to Protect City.
Funston has discretionary powers
to protect his position and will take
every precaution to insure the safety
of the American forces at Vera Cruz"
said Secretary GARRISON.
In view of the alarming situation
that has developed through the concen-
tration of troops under General Mas,
army officials believe that Secretary
of War Garrison will within few days
take steps to reinforce greatly the
American troops now at Vera Cruz.
The remainder of Funston's forces,
which were not sent with the main
expedition, in all probability will leave
Galveston by the latter part of this
week. Funston lacks mountain artil-

He state. however, that some food is
being received from Tejar and the out
