Peace PROGRAM
MediatOrS Get Instructions
TO Press for Views of the
Mexican Rebel Leader
BRYAN CONTINUES
IN OPTIMISTIC Spirit
BY JOHN EDWIN NEvIN.

STAFF correspondent OF United fiess.
WASHINGTON. June THE veil of
secrecy over the administrations
plans Cor Mexican mediation was
penetrable today. Although Presi-
dent Wilson himself talked with JUS
tice Lamar over the long distance
telephone, and Secretary Bryan OK
changed long code kilograms with the
American commissioners. at Niagara
Falls, all information regarding the
situation was withheld.
It was admitted that the Ameri-
can representative had received final
instructions. It was assumed that
these instructions were to continue
to press for consideration of Car
rama in the parleys. But official
confirmation was lacking.
THE situation is such that
premature publicity at this time
might endanger a successful result
was the Bryan statement.
This was the only word obtainAble
although the secretary persisted in
his optimistic belief that a peace
ful solution of the entire Mexican
situation is certain to obtain.
Officials generally professed 10 be
lieve that the mediators will eyentu
ally admit Carranza to their confer
ences. The very fact that he con
trolls all OF Northern Mexico, and il
about 20 establish complete pro
visiondl government in Saltillu
makes him a potent factor that vii
have to be considered in any plal
Tor a solidifed Mexico. But il i
admitted that, until after today's con
ference at Nigara Falls any opinion
of the ultimate result must partak
of guesswork.

REBEL REPRESENTATION
EOMPLICATES Peace PARLEY
BY FRED S. FERGTsON.

IullEu LItNh OAhI AOIItr rIllhuNnAs
NIAGARA FALLS. Ont. June L.
Whether mediation proceedings are to
continue with only the ENJOYS of the
United States and the Huerta gov
ernment being heard, whether the
Constitutionalists may be admitted
br whether negotiations may be fur
sher held up by continued discussion
bn the subject of rebel representation
was expected to be determined here
Today.
Since Friday. all progress has been
blocked Under present conditions
the A. B. C. mediators believe nego-
tiations should be continued with
only the American and Huerta rep
resentatives participating. President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan do not
believe an agreement carrying all as
surances of peace can be reached
without the concurrence of General
Carlanza. The extent 10 which this
issue may be carried depends on the
administration in Washington.
The Mexican ENJOYS have not yei
conferred with the mediators as tC
the point raised by the American
commissioners. They are playing q
waiting game, leaving the matter en-
tirely in the hands of the mediators
If, however in the conversation at Il
o'clock today, the United States in
ssts upon some way being found t'
admit the CaTranzistas, then il is eX
pected the mediators will communi
cate this information to the MeXican
and their views will be heard.
II is pointed out here that thu
United States might find itself in al
embarrassing position should tn
nediators ignore General Carranza
with the signing of the protocol, tn
responsibility of the mediatOrs ends
Should General Carranza captur
Mexico City, however. and set up
provisional government of his owl
the work of the peace conference
might be completely undone.
This government would be moral
bound to support a provisional GOV
ernmcnt agreed upon in the mediatio
proceedings and assurances that th
rebels will also. be bound by tn
protocol are desired before negotii
tions are concluded.
Justice Lamar and Frederick v
lehman we're in communicate
with Washington yesterday, and it
assumed received instructions as
fhe stand that should be taken toda
regarding rebel representation. Tf
Mexican delegates are understood

have as to the attitude of General HI
erta on points so far approved, pen'
ing a decision on the Constitutional

MONTREAL, June l.-Government
Investigation of the loss o. nearly 600
lives when the c. p. r. liner Empress
of Ireland was rammed and sunk by
the collier Storstad, started here today.
Captain Lindsay, wreck commissioner
of the Dominion of Canada, opened an
inquiry which will probe the causes of
the horror, preliminary to a full in
vcstigation by a royal commission.
Two judges of the admiralty court Of
Canada and representative of the
british Board Of Trade will finally de-
eide the cause of the disaster. George
NauX will represent the imperial auth
critics on this final tribunal He has
already sailed from London and viii
arrive here about June $.
Captain Lindsay today planned to
take evidence under oath from as many
passengers of the Empress as can be
reached. Captain Kendall, of the lost
liner, his crew and Captain Thomas
Anderson of the Storstad with his crew
and officers also may tell their sworn
stories. II is barely possible that the
two captains, however, will not give
their testimony until the royal commits
sion conyenes.
Grave discrepancies in the testimony
of Captains Kendall and Anderson as

of Ireland went down are 20 be explain
ed. Both Captains declare their boats
were almost stationary. Captain Ander-
son says the Storstad's engines were al

He denied his vessel backed out of the
rent she tore through the Empress side
and insists that momentum of the liner
twisted the collier out of the great gap
thus allowing water TO pour in with
such speed that practically all chance
