washington. June 12.-The Wash
ington government was so optimistic
TODAY over the prospects for the
success of mediation in the Mexican
imbroglio that members of the cab
met fairly radiated jubilation when
thev left the White House after
conference on the subject with the
President.
President Wilson broke his silence
by authorizing the declaration that
the outlook for mediation was very
encouraging.
Secretary Bryan verified the reports
from Niagara Falls that the Huerta
delegates and representatives of the
limited States had reached an agree
ment upon the method by which the
transmission of authority in Mexico
should be conducted from Huerta to
the proposed provisional government.

representatives to the mediation con-
ference was the subject of most in
tereSt at the cdDiH6t littliH5' ihS
White House learned also that Car
rama adhered strictly to his attitude
that an armistice in the campaign
against Huerta should not be requir-
ed. 1t was also learned that the note
makes no mention of any other terms
upon which Constituencies repre-
sentatives should participate In the
peace conference.
Word from Niagara Falls that the
mediators would not officially receive
into the conference the Carranza dele
gates. unless they should agree to an
armistice. threw a new damper on
the hopes OF the Washington officials
Officials again suggested that Car

Portland. Oregon, June 12.-Anxiety pre-
walls tonight regarding the fate of three
of four balloons which started from here
late Thursday in the first national bal
loon race ever held in the Northwest.
Caught in Storm
Shortly after their departure the air
craft were caught in a terrific wind,
thunder and lightning storm. The Uncle
Sam. piloted by Capt H E. Honeywell
of St. Louis, was driven to earth near
Oregon City, Honeywell escaped without
injury This afternoon carrier pigeon

Balloon struck by lightning. Berry
hurt Come quick. Morrison
The balloon of which Capt. John Berry
is pilot is the Million Population Club
of St. Louis. His passenger was George
Y Morrison.
Morrison made no mention of the Mil
lion Population Clubs location. Nothing
has been heard from the Kansas City
III. plotted by John Watts, and the
Springfield, piloted by Roy Donaldson.
Oficials of the race think it ominous
that they have not released any of the
carrier pigeons they took with them.
Every possiblee fort has been made to
locate the missing balloons. The United
States Forest Service has notified all its
rangers to be on the lookout and parties
of exploration are planned.

The report of the public service
commission on the telephone rate
case is raising the expected .orm Of
criticism but on the whole ii isn't
being considered on its merits. The
St Adams Messenger, the Randolph
Herald and News and other papers
which dislike Governor Fletcher are
severe critics of the finding OF the
commission while those which are
friendly to the governor applaud, or
at least do no. utterly condemn the
report. In other words it looks as
though prejudice rather than judg-
ment is influencing a good deal of the
comment on the commission find
ings. Considered as whole the
findings Of the public service com
mission are a victory for the tele-
phone combination. Should the New
England telephone monopoly accept
the verdict of the public service com
mission OF Vermont its income would
be cut about $4,000 while its ex-
pense would be reduced around
$1,000. This would result in net
decrease of revenue of around $4,000
yearly while if the claims of the
state as originally presented had
been approved there would have
been reduction of revenue of
around $4,000 per year. On the
whole we do not see the need OF
tears over what We are inclined to
consider victory for the New Eng
land telephone monopoly At am,
rate the verdict ough, to be consider
cd on its merits rather ,han On the
basis OF like or dislike Of Governor
