DEPOSlTORS START
RUN ON BIG BANK

Chicago, June 3O.-Three hundred
persons mostly foreigners were In line
when h North Avenue State bank
opened it's doors and the run begun
Saturday was resumed.
Publicity attending the failure of the
Lorimer-Munday banks is held respon-
sible. On Saturday the North Avenue
bank paid out $3.50, 900 and when the
doors opened today $500, 900 in currency
loaned by the Continental & CONNER
cial Trust & Savings bank, the largest
banking institution in the city, was
piled in plain sight to reasure deposit
tors.
President Reynolds of the Continent
tai IL Commercial stated that the North
Avenue bank is perfectly solvent and
that it will be given all the funds neces-
Sary to meet the extraordinary and I'M
called for drain. :

the LaSalle Street Trust & Savings
bank. Which is in the hands Of a re-
ceiver, declared today members of his
family had more than 81, 900, 600 on de-
post when the bank closed. He said
IT was absurd for anyone to think he
had tried, to wreck the institution,
when his own family fortunes were in
yolved. He said he believed the bank
was solvent, the day it closed. He de-
MED there had been a split between
William Lorimer and himself.
Official announcement of the banks
condition as reported by Daniel v.
Harkin. examiner, to the state auditor,
was made today. Notes due the bank
to the aggregate of $1.746,O 4S were

SLOW and doubtful while the good"
notes aggregated only $7S1, 1886.
these items alone Indicated a failure
for approximately So, $780, 900.

fresh from his victory last week at
lacatecas, has returned to Torreon,
bringing his entire army with him. III
relations of the northern zone COM
mander with General C%arranza in the
opinion of agents here today, un-
q~uestionably caused the abandonment
OF the campaign. The much discussed
Carranza : Villa estrangement has
reached a breaking point, they asserted
IN that the constitutionalist commander
IN chief has declined to ALLOW Villa to
import cartridges for his men and
shells for his artillery through the port
OF Tampico. This port now is the only
entryway for munitions which the
fevolutionists may use as the border
stlll is closed to them by the embargo
OF the United States border patrol.
AT Zacatecas, Villa shot away
practically all the cargo of the Antilla
which landed at Tampico, according to
ms representatives here. Carranza
men, however, declare that Villa did
not get the Antilla ammunition which
they declare is still in Monterey.
News of Villas return north yester-
day was received here today as
omlnous by both factions here.

ON PEACE PROPOSALS

.e.-.A ct. -n4.H
Washington, June 30.-Carranza's re-
quest for more time to consult his mil
itary chiefs Over the proposal for a CON
ference with Huerta's delegates at Nj
agara Falls served today as another
cause for delay in efforts to restore or
der in Mexico through diplomacy. 1t
was believed the mediators would be
able to reply to the revolutionary lead
er's request within the next day or
two.
The mediators Were informed by Car
rama that acceptance of any sugges-
ton for q new provisional government
might require some change in the plan
of Guadalupe, which was the revolu-
tionary declaration Of principles. To do
that Carranza stated would require the
consent OF his various military chiefs.
He was said to have given
that the counsel of generals would be
fastened so that a definite policy on
the proposed meeting at Niagara could

MINISTER TO GREECE
KEEPS EN- GUESSING

Washington, June 29.-Administra-
ton officials particularly those in the
state department are interested, mildly
amazed and in some doubt over reports
from abroad that George Fred Will
liams, of Boston, minister to Greece,
has officially condemned, in emphatic
terms the present government in AL
bania. Nc such report has reached
the department. Inasmuch as some
time ago the department investigated a
published report that Mr.. Williams had
offered his services on behalf of the
United States as a mediator in the
Albanian crisis and found it was re-
pudiated, they are inclined to await the
result of an inquiry on the latest story.

HURETA DELEGATES TO
MEET REBEL ENJOYS

Washington, June 29-President
Wilson early today received q lengthy
message from the American delegates
at Niagara Falls and officials close to
the executive expressed the opinion
that a meeting between the Huerta
and constitutionalists representatives
was practically assured. The message
received today is said to have reported
the results OF a conference between the
American delegates and Minister Naon.
While it is intimated in some quarters
that an informal conference between
the opposing Mexican factions will ter
inmate in failure, 1t was made clear
that President Wilson is viewing me-
gotiations opti1nistically.
The state department was today no.
titled through the Brazilian embassy
that General Huerta was willing to
have Vice Consul Silliman return to his
post at Saltillo. The request to Huerta
to return the American consul, whom
his troops imprisoned and threatened
with death, to a territory over which
he has now no control, was merely q
formality and to preserve h good faith
of the United States in respect of q
promise it made when 1t secured h
release of Silliman from his precarious
position The Constituencies now
entirely control Saltillo and the sur
rounding territory.

MEDIATION OUTLOOK is
CONSIDERED LESS HOPEFUL

Washington. June 3O.-Despite con-
tlnued expressions of hope that the
plans for Mexican mediation will not
fail, considerable apprehension was
SHOWN today in official quarters. Con-
siderable significance was attached to
the fact that the mediation conference
plans to take a recess unless there is
some definite assurance from C%arranza
by tomorrow that his agents will meet
the Huerta delegates and representa-
tlves of the United States on plans for
a provisional government outlined in
the recent protocol.
C~arranza's latest reply to the media
tors, asking for time to consult his gem
erals who participated in the plans of
Guadalupe before agreeing to enter the
proposed peace conference, was said
here not to have reached the mediators,
but that it probably would get to Nj
agara Falls by tomorrow morning.
Louis Cabrera, one of Carranza's
agents here, said today he believed the
general would yield to the wishes of the
United States and the invitation of the
mediators, after he had consulted with
his chiefs.
Continued reports of the widening of
"a, however, have served to disturb Of
ficials here. Alfredo Breceda, personal
representative of Carranza here, after q
conference today with Cabrera, sent a
telegram to the chief, asking for def
mite word about the mediator confer
ence as soon as possible.
