HOPE CARRANZA MAY
TREAT WITH ENJOYS
South American Dip 20 m $
Leave Way Open for His
Entering Negotiations
Held i'm Canada.

Washington, May 5.-The
three South American ENJOYS
announced tonight that the first
formal conference with "repre-
sentatives of the different par
ties interested in mediation" will
be held at Niagara Falls, Ont,
May 18.
Secretary Bryan has made
the announcement as follows:
The mediators have notified
the different parties that Niaga-
IA Falls, Canada, has been Sc
lected as the place where the
medlators will confer with the
representatives of the different
parties interested in the media
tion and that May Is has been
fixed as the date for the confer
ence to begin.
The language of the declara-
tion attracted attention, for al
though the ENJOYS had said they
would withdraw their formal in
vitation for Carranza represen-
tative unless an armistice be-
tween Constitutionalists and
Huerta forces were arranged, no
specific parties to the negotia-
tions were named in Mr.. Bryan's
announcement.
1t was learned authoritatively
that the reason is that a furter
effort is being made to induce
General Carranza to send rep
resentative. The mediators fur
ther explained their position to
General Carranza and still are
hopeful that he may be repre-
sented without seeking to limit
his agent to discussion of any
particular subjects. The Amer
lean government has not chosen
its representatives. President
Wilson and Secretaries Bryan
and Lane discussed many names
today.
Niagara Falls Ont, was Sc
lected as the place to hold the
mediation conferences because it
is neutral territory, yet in close
proximity to the United States.
To COnside Whole Question.
The text Of the mediatorS'
note to Carranza states that "all
the difficulties which contributed
toward the present situation in
Mexico bear either directly or
indirectly on the solution of the
pending conflict between Mexico
and the United States. The
mediators therefore announced
that all these difficulties should
be made the subject of consid-
GRAFTON in the negotiations"
They also informed Carranza
that they considered a suspen-
sion of hostilities as "indispen-
sable to his participation in the
mediation.
1t was learned today from a
high administration official that
in all likelihood the United
States will not confine itself to
a settlement of the incidents at
Tampico, but will aim to bring
about a solution of the whole
Mexican problem so that it can
recognize a constitutionally es-
tablished government which will
be able to restore peace in MeXi-

JUDGE GARDINER GREENE
 ON THE WAY HOME
Expected to Reach New York or Steamer Minnehaha About Sunday.

Attorney Charles L. Stewart has had a letter dated in London, Aug ust 14th, from Judge Gardiner Greene of the superior court, who with Mrs Greene has been abroad, that they were to sail from London on the 22nd on the steameS Minnehaha of the At lantic Transport line and would be due in New York next Sunday, barring delays and if they were not "gobbled up by the Germans"
 Judge Greene wrote that they bad managed to save their baggage and they were staying at the Langham ho- tel in London, a large hostelry muct patronized by American tourists.
 In view of the fact that many oi those who were on the continent. as Judge and Mrs. Greene were before the; fled to England. have been compelled to leave their baggage behind, and thai acres of abandoned trunks are to bt seen in the continental railrpaG sta. tions, they are fortunate to have es- capped so well.

SAWED OFF FRONTS OF
 EASTERN POINT BATH HOUSES
Cottages Assoeiation's Property De-
 nuded Under Cover of Darkness.

Great was his surprise and conSter- nation when W. A. Somers visited Eastern Point a few days ago ana found that some agency that at pres ent remains unknown and has not been discovered had caused to be saWn on the front of the doubledecker bath houses that are the property or the Eastern Point Cottage association, Of which heNis a member, together with several other Norwich men. The re- moyal of this rather esential part of the bath houses had apparently been effected under cover of darkness. MT. Somers got down there Sunday morn ing week ago and he encountered a police officers who told him that he had just seen eight men cease opera tions on the bath-houses and get into a row boat and take themselves away, whither he did not know. Anyhow the beach was strewn with the timber that had formed the front of A bath houses.
 The houses front on desirable portion of the beach at Eastern Point and are directly in front of the Shine cossett houses and in this fact lies some of the explanation of what las happened, so at least it is inferred Some of the Norwich men have been willing to sell the associations houses, which have not been in use for several years, but now one member of the as- sociation, at least, says, he will hold on to the property until he dies. Be- fore selling, he would take his share of the houses and paint a whiskey advertisement on it.

DISCUSSED TROLLEY ID STORRS
Eastern Connecticut Business Men Think It Much Needed Suggest Two Routes-To Invite Trolley Officers to At tend Meeting When Situation Will be Talked Over September Meeting in this City.

The eastern Connecticut development committee of the Business Mems asso- citations of this end of the state at the August meeting held in New London Thursday morning advocated the con struction of a trolley to Storrs to fur nish to the people of Connecticut an opportunity to see what is being ac- complished by the Connecticut Agri- cultural college. The meeting YVES held in the rooms of the New Lond on Business Mems association at II o'clock.
 The matter of having a trolley ln1e to Storrs was placed before the meet ing by President J. T. Cruttenden, who said that on two recent visits to Storrs the lack of facilities for reaching the college had been strongly impressed upon him, and in his opinion a trolley line there would be of immense bene- fit to the people of Connecticut ,who would more easily be able to get 70 Stor1s and secure the Knowledge that is available along agricultural lines.
 Two possible routes were suggested, one from Willimantic through Man = field Center to Storrs and the other from Willimantic to Storrs by way of EagleEille. The sentiment of the meet ing was in favor of the project, and it was felt that the management of the college would gladly agree and CO., operate in the matter.
 The meeting decided to take no defi- mite action in the matter. but voted to make this project the topic of discus

sion for the September meeting. 10 which officials of the college and Of the Shore Line Electric railway will be in vited>to give their views.
 The feasibility of having series of lectures on important topics under the auspices of the five business mems as- sociations of this end of the state was taken up and left until the next mee-- ing for definite action. It is proposed that the topics deal with salesmanship, building and loan and other subjects at an open meeting to be held monthly ill the various places.
 Steps were taken for the distribu- ton of the magazine which has been issued by the committee setting forth the advantages of this end of the state The committee has 1,500 of the maga- zines on hand and it was voted to sero 500 to William H. Seeley, industrial manager of the New Haven road. and to distribute the remaining 1000 equal ly among the five associations, whicr in turn would see that they were dis trlbuted in their sections.
 The September meeting will be held in Norwich and it is probable that the October meeting will be in New Lon- don. when it is planned to have a sight seeing tour for the visitors.
 There were present at the meeting J. T. Cruttendcn. John Humphrey, Ed ward $. Doton, F. c. Ford, Thoma: Howe, H. r. ChidSey of New LondoT and H. R. Brarche, C. W. Pearson auC c. J. lSbister of Norwich

 Horses and wagons were gathered | together by the French army. A short distance outside of Paris we were stopped and stayed over night | in Fontainbleu. France was filled with uniformed soldiers. Early the follow | ing morning we started towards the l frontier but were stopped at a barrf- cade ten miles from the front. We 1 showed our papers but they were re- 1 jected. Later we crossed the line anG were within a few miles of Metz ir Germany and were held up by tho German cavalry and ordered to return l to France.

AT THE AUDITORIUM.
Vaudeville and Motion Pictures

Melville Lloyd. slight hand artist and comedy trfckster, contributed an amusing and a puzzling number to the fine bill with which the Auditoriunl began the second half of the week on Thursday. He walked down among the audience and from the ends of peoples noses and off their heads and from almost anywhere he gathered in silver coins and really made quite collection. He took many things out that the crowd seemed to enjoy. The Parsons; Sisters put on c pretty act that was particularly effective when in the course of their singing they donned the hats of the regular soldier and the G. A. R. Ward and Delmore S skit was carried out with strong ell enent of humor that found ready reception. The pictures rounded out a we'll balanced and interesting Dill in satisfactory fashion.
