ALL Is UNCERTAINTY.
Adjournment or Recess May be TAX
en- By Mediators Without Action.


Mediation is in a most complex
state. Its principals are undecided
whether formally to adjourn or to take
recess and renew their efforts through
the. American government toward
bringing the constitutionalists and HUI
erta delegates into conference for the
solution of Mexico's internal prob
lens.
While the signing of the series of
protocols covering various phases of
the international situation has brought
forth confident expressions from some
quarters that mediation has been a
success, skepticism has arisen among
others vitally connected with the pro
ceeding as to whether anything of
value actually has been accomplished.
That war has been averted has been
generally admitted, but of the actual
pacifcation of Mexico, few see any
visible signs of progress.

he had not been disorderly, but lie
admitted having garnisheed mans
wages TO collect $40 bar bill. The
mans wife was In court. She had an
industrious husband, but the family
was poor. For two weeks there was
not enough to eat In the house he.
cause the husbands wages were tied
up In the court.
"This court Is Of the opinion, said
Judge Sullivan, that any saloon
keeper" who extends credit to poor
man with family and gives him
whiskey on that credit, and then sues
him to take away the few dollars from
his family, Is guilty Of disorderly con-

It is close approach to justice, and
