THEIR ENJOYS HERE
GENERAL HUERTA's REPRESENT
ATIvEs SENT TO MEDIATION
CONFERENCE IN CANADA.
STATE DEPARTMENT RECEIVES THEN
siderable Confusion at Station at
shington-Curious Crowd
Present AZ They Arrive.

Washington.-General Huerta's rep
resentatives sent to the mediation
conference to open at Niagara Falls,
Canada, Wednesday of this week, ar
rived here late Saturday. They are
clothed with plenary power.
AS the three Mexicans, Seniors
Rabasa, Rodrigues and Ell Guero, with
their families and a numerous official
suite, descended from the train they
were met by the Spanish ambassador.
Don Juan Riano, and presented to
representatives of the state depart
ment and of the three mediators who
had assembled at the station. A Gu
rious crowd looked on respectfully as
the Mexicans we're escourted to auto
mobiles and were taken to a hotel.
Little excitement but considerable
confusion attended the arrival in
Washington of the three Mexican dele
gates.
c. M. Cook, social secretary Of the
state department, was at the station
to extend the invitation of the state
department.
Retirement Of Huerta.
Conceding the retirement of Huer-
ia, the delegates are said to be most
interested in the vital question of what
is to follow, what guarantees are to be
obtained against the possible confisca-
ton of property by the invading con-
stitutionalists, protection against con-
ditions of inarchy, and what kind Of
government will be stable and will OBJ
tain worldwide recognition.
Big Question to Solve.
Those close to President Wilson and
Secretary Bryan assert that the ques-
tion which is to be mediated is no
longer the failure of Huerta to salute,
or the offenses committed against the
dignity of the United States, but the
broad question of pacifying Mexico.
Those who know the broad view
point of the Washington government
declare the American troops will not
be withdrawn from Vera Cruz until
stable government is established or is
in sight in Mexico City.
Persons close to the Mexican dele
gates emphasized that the three men
who will represent the Huerta govern
ment are not "Huertistas" or the rep
resentatives of any group of persons,
but were representatives of the best
interests of the people in the territory
controlled by the federals.

Gives His Views on the Situation
In Mexico.
New York.-William H. Taft gave
his views on the Mexican situation in
a recent address at the Free Syna
gogue's celebration of peace Sun
day."
While the former president express
ed little hope that the pending medi
alton conference would accomplish its
immediate purpose. he asserted the
offer of mediation and its acceptance
was an important step toward the flu
ture settlement Of, international diff
culties in the western hemisphere.
He said there was no popular pres
sure for a military policy which the
administration can not resist. He said
that the people were determined to dc
their duty, even should that duty In
volve war. But for war, he added, the
people have little enthusiasm.
The criticism Mr. Taft leveled al
the Wilson administration had to dc
with the aid which, he said, the ad
ministration had given to the Mexican
constitutionalists.
1T is my judgment" he said, that
il in our course toward Mexico during
the last year we had not exerted such
direct influence as we have to aid one
OF the contending parties we should
not now be 80 near general interven
ton and war;"
In conclusion he called upon al
Americans to aid the president In his
efforts to find peace.

Records Far Below Usual Since Fed
eraI Soldiers Come to Strike Zone.
Trinidad, Col.-Federal military
rule has given the southern Colorado
coal fields the most orderly period of
their history. Records in the local
courts show that since the arrival OF
the United States regulars the record
OF crime and disorder has been far be
low the average. Not one homicide
has been reported in Las Animas
county during the period of militar.
occupation.
Las Animas and Huerfano counties
with the large foreign element of pop
ulation widely scattered in various
mining camps, have in the past been
fruitful of killings and brawls. Some
thirty nationalities are represented in
tho district. Since the arrival of the
federal troops, a condition of almost
absolute order has prevailed.
Every saloon in the district is clos
ed, with no indication that they will
be permitted to reopen as long as the
regulars are in control.
President Warns Governor.
President Wilson served warning
on Governor Ammons Monday that
the state of Colorado must be pre-.
pared to maintain peace in the coal
miners strike districts without fed.
eral aid. The president said that fed.
eral troops would remain in the trou.
bled districts "only until the state OF
Colorado has time and opportunity to
resume complete sovereignty and con.
troll"
Can't Find Rifles.
Reports reached military headquar-
tiers that large numbers of rifles had
been concealed in the coal strike dis.
tricts in places from which they could
not easily be brought out.
Assurances have been given by the
secretary of war that there is no in
tention Immediately Of removing fed
eral troops from the strike districts.

believed, but adds that these figures
would probably be largely increased
could the expense entailed by the reg

the expense Of the national pure food

while In the various cities the carrying

considerable item, helping to bring the

fruit coming from suckers which start
near the point where the first pine has

pineapple crop takes from 10 to %
months from the time It Ia planted un.
