BY The United Press.


WASHINGTON, May 2O.-With a
desperate fight in progress in Saltillo
and the city entirely surrounded by
Villas troops, interest in the Mexican
situation today centered in the fate Of
Consul Silliman. he State Depart
ment believes Villa win take the city
within forty-eight hours.
Consular Representative George
Camothers, who is with Villa, has al
ready been ordered to determine imme-
diately what happened to the vice-con-
sui there. High officials here who are
friendly to Silliman fear the worst.
They declare the promises that he
would be produced have been disre-
garded so often that they believe he
may have been CLAIM. If this proves
true, it may have an evil effect upon
the Niagana Falls mediation confer
ences which opened today.
So far as the administration is con
cerned, everything has been halted to
await the outcome of mediation. The
President and Secretary Bryan believe
that speedy results are certain. They
expect that before the end of the week

From source close to the mediators
today, it was declared that the action
OF the State Department in declaring
Iampico an open port would have no
effect on the peace conference.
General Carranza, having so far re-

swere they talked with Becker Of the
death about $50 a. m.
District Attorney Whitman's cross
examination OF Hawley was sched-
uled to bring out that after Rosen-
thals murder, Rose, not Hawley, first
told Becker of the killing; that while
Hawley waited for the connection 20
Becker's apartment-house number,
the switchboard boy there had al
ready given Rose the call; that
Becker had been told the story and
that when he talked TO Hawley his
acute brain was already using the

was also expected that Whitman
would try to force admission from
Hawley that his time with Becker
was not continuous and that it would
have been enirely possible for the
policeman to have met and conferred
with Rose and Webber as they swore
he did.
OF the seven witnesses presented
yesterday for Becker, six were either
utterly dlscredited or gave evidence
that was at least as valuable TO the
prosecution or the defense. Jack Sui
livan, the defense's first and star wit
ness, was branded as a white SLAYER
By Whitman. He was torn to pieces.
His coarse. profane ferocity on the
stand killed the value of his story Of a
plot against Becker's life. Isadore

even worse He was shown up as a
probably fraudulent bankrupt, who
forced his own wife to the streets and
beat her face into an nnrecognizable
mass when the earnings OF her shame
fell below his hopes. Morris Beecher,
third, a lawyer, was forced to admit
failure of his duty on the stand and
was threatened with disbarment. Ross

ers, gave unexpected testimony inimi-
cal to Becker, and Charles Reich,

There is only one opinion concerning
the reproduction Of the S4O0,0O0,O0O job
Uncle Sam is just now completing on
the Panama Canal, which Lyman H.
Howe will present at The Playhouse on
Friday and Saturday, and that is that it
Tar surpasses anything that even he has
ever offered. The clever camera men
covered" apparently every scene and in
cident that appeals to mind and eye.
IL IS mystery to spectators how
many OF the incidents were photograph
ed at all. That the camera men placed
themselves in the most perilous posi-
tions entirely regardless of their own
safety Is self-evident in the pictures.
NO amount of reading would enable
even the worlds best engineers. sur
veyors, builders, etc, to grasp the sig
nificance and magnitude of the task and
its tremendous difficulties, and vet Mr..
Howe's film reproduees the immensitv
OF the enterprise so vividly that 4 child
