are given by Wilson as his reasons

Specific requests for more than So
900 men to help harvest bumper
crops have already reached the de-

has asked for 10000 men. How to get
them west is the problem. AS q solu-
tion, Secretary Wilson Is planning to
negotiate with the railroads for spe-
cial excursions to the wheat belt

might be obtained.

P FAMOUS SACRED STONE
Tide Of Public Opinion Has Already
Turned Against the Mill

Actions.

LONDON, June Suffragettes to-
day exploded o bomb under the coro-
nation chair in Westminster abbey.
1t is reported that the historic stone
Of scone was chipped but otherwise
no serious damage was wrought.
No arrests of the suffragettes sup
posed to have exploded the bomb
were made. The police at once
threw a Gordon around the famous
abbey but, so far as is known. there
is no clue 20 the perpetrators OF the
outrage.
The stone OF scone Is che most
famous relic Of prehistoric days IN
the British empire. Its origin Is lost
In antiquity but history reaches back
to show that on it sat Malcolm Can
more, an almos. mythical king OF the
Pics when he was invested with the
crown. For centuries the stone furn-
ished a throne for Scottish kings In
the day of their coronation. 1t re-
tmained in Scotland until captured Dy
Edward the First of England and
taken to London. Desperate resent
ment by the Scottish nation at their
deprivation of relic they held sacred
WAS in great measure the cause OF the
uprising OF VIM. Wallace, tho Scot
j.ish hero, and the crushing defeat
tsuffered by the English at the battle
LOT Bannockburn when Robert the
Bruce riveted on his head the crown
OF Scotland. Ever since Bruce's day,
Scotland sought 20 recover the IA
nous scone boulder. But It had been
incorporated into the coronation chair
OF the English kings and could not be
recovered. It was specially mention
L ed in the act of union between Scot
land and England and under the law
no British king can reign unless he Is
crowned upon the sacred stone.
| The explosion OF the bomb used IN
lthe attempt to wreck the scone relic
and the coronation chair was heard IN
parliament and caused great sensa-
tion. Many believed that an attempt
had been made to blow up the house
of commons. When news of the at
tempt reached the city, excitement
was great and the suffragettes were
unsparingly denounced.
! It was believed the tloe OF puDlic
opinion already setting against the
suffraget.es, would demand the most
severe punishment If such outrages as
that Of today continue.
Just before the explosion in West
minister abbey, Reginald Mckenna,
home secretary, defended the govern
ment's policy regarding the suffra-
gettes. He told the commons the
government objected to letting mill
tants die in prison, deporting them or
confining them in asylums, but an
nounced that the government would
iins.igate civil suits against every sub
scriber to the Woman's Social and
Political Union, the body from which
the suffragettes draw their funds. A
list of those who have contributed to
the suffragette cause was revealed In
tn. search of one Of the w. S. P. U.
headquarters, following a police raid
according to popular report. Mcken'
ma declared that operation OF the cat
and mouse act was already reducing
the number of militants and appealed
to the press not to advertise their
Ioutrages.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The ad-
still supremely confident
today that q mediation agreement will
be signed along the lines 1t has stood
for, will insist that nothing shall be
done at Niagara Falls which might
give Huerta basis for the claim that
his rule as provisional president. has
been o. KID by the United States.
This was certain from statements OF
officials today.
The real reason. It was said, Is not
antipathy to Huerta but the fact that
he entered into certain agreements as
provisional president which The Unit
ed States considers were detrimental
to the interests Of the Mexican peo-
pie. Contracts have been entered In
to and concession granted which Car
rama and his cabinet have declared
will be set aside as soon As the con-
s.itutionalists get into power. II 70
believed certain here that the manner
Of the transfer OF power from Huerta
to whoever Is to be his successor.
will be SO arranged that the non
Huerta recognition policy Of the
United States will be upheld.
I. can be stated on authority OF
Secretary Bryan that at no time has
the United States asked that ClyTAnxa
or any one close to him be named as
provisional president Commission
ers Lamar and Lehman have pointed
out to the mediators chat 1t would be
absurd to suggest as Huerta's success
sor, any one who had been actively
opposed to the constitutionalists
cause. Carranza will insist on at
least veto righ. over the names to
be finally settled. So far as he Is con-
cerned, as has already been pointed
out, he wants to be the frst perman-
ent president of Mexico elected by a
majority of the popular vote and to
secure tina. honor Is willing to waive
any temporary honors at the present
time. II forced to take Mexico City
by might Of arms, he will retain his
present title of provisional president
and first chief and also become
candidate as his own successor when
the elections are ordered.
Stories Of an alliance between villa
and Zapata for mutual benefit" con-
tinue to be circulated here. One re-
port has an agreement between them
to prevent their being relegated to
oblivion when permanent. peace comes
and to be shut out Of any division OF
the prizes that in the past have fol-
lowed victory in revolution. It is
believed that most of these stories
are based on an investigation The
state department has carried on
through Consular Agent Geo. Car
ruthers, and reports made by Zapata's
legal representatives here. These re-
ports are withheld so far as Villa Is
concerned, the administration is con-
fiden. that all Of his actions have been
in good faith and that he is today the
strongest friend the United States has
| in Mexico.
Word was expected here today from
Tampico that the cargo of arms and
ammunition on the An:illa had been
landed. The navy department admits
that the state department has failed
to issue any orders to turn the steam
