Points of Difference

First, the mediators, representing
presumably the viewpoint of the Mex
lean delegates, are insisting that the
provisional President of Mexico shall
a neutral who shall not have been an
active partisan in the Constitutional
list cause. The American delegates
have emphatically Stated that unless
the choice falls upon q, man of distinct
Constitutionalist sympathies not ne
cessarily a military chief or leader,
but one who would command their
confidence, there can be no hope of
Constitutionalist acceptance of any
peace program adopted here.
Secondly, the United States govern
ment is unalterably determined that
the method of transition from the
present regime to the new govern
ment, shall not be through the APP
pointment by General Huerta, as min
lister of foreign affairs of the man
agreed upon for Provisional President
To permit him to exercise the consti-
tutional function of naming his sue
viewpoint, would be equivalent to rec
ognition of the Huerta government.
This view is forcefully opposed by the
mediators, who argue that inasmuch
as the world will know the mediation
conference had selected the next Pro-
visional President, the form of sue
cession is not important

General Alignment

Several of the Democrats are ex-
pected to vote for the repeal bill while
several Republicans who supported the
amendment are expected to line up
against the bill.
Among those voting for the bill were
Senators Hollis, Johnson. Lippitt,
Lodge and Weeks. Senator Gallinger
voted in the negative.
Senators who had hoped to see the
bill disposed of tonight, took comfort
from the decisive way in which a mo-
ton to adjourn was defeated. SEN
ator Bristow made the motion and on
a roll call the vote was So to %.
The Sutherland amendment propos-
ed as a substitute for the Simons-
Norris amendment was defeated 40 to
SO. 1t declared that nothing in the
repeal act should be considered as
denying or abridging the right of the
United States to discriminate in fav
or of American shipping and added
that on the contrary such right is re-
asserted

CONFERRED ON
MR.. MARSHALL

Orono, Me, June 10.-The honorary
degree of doctor of laws was confer
red upon Vice President Marshall and
Henry C. Morrison, superintendent of
public instruction in New Hampshire,
by Presidet Robert ]. Alley at Uni
versity of Maine Commencement ex-
The Vice President and DR.. Alley are
Indiana men, the latter having served
as state superintendent of schools in
that state.
MarshaII's Address
Vice President Marshall delivered
the commencement address, taking
intellectual Bravery for his subject
The Vice President said in part:
"Slight knowledge will not enable the
young man to assume the management
of life's affairs. In the irrepressible con-
f1ict between labor and capital. he cam
not assume that either property or labor
is everything without tending to estab-
lish a peon class in America or an oil
garchy of wealth. Complete knowledge
may convince MIN thdt II Will De Dettef
for the Republic to be controlled by
neither of these classes.
In 1850. we had a Republic where la
Dor was satisfied, where respect for re-
ligion and reverence for law and order
and a sincere attachment to the Consti-
tuition were strong. In that year the
proportion of the annual wealth created
in the country by the joint efforts of Ia
Dor and capital was one-fourth to labor
and three -fourths to capital. Sixty years
later, the proportion had changed to less
than one-ffth to labor and more than
four-ffths to capital. This disproportion,
to my mind, has much TO do with our
present discomfort.

london. June 10.-Miss Sylvia Pank-
hurst was not even permitted to ap-
proach Westminster tonight to inter
view Premier Asquith. The proposed
visit to the prime minister was ar
ranged for some days ago by Miss
Pankhurst and other militant leaders
and it was decided last night that she
should be carried shoulder high in the
procession as she was not considered
strong enough to- bear the strain of
what promised to be an arduous jour
ney.
Before the procession had gone
mile. Miss Pankhurst was arrested for
the eighth time since she was sem
fenced to six months Imprisonment
for melting language in Hyde Park
and conveyed to Holloway Jail.
Procession Dispersed
The procession struggled on with
out a leader, but by the time it reach
ed the Strand it had been dispersed
by the police. Under the leadership
of George Lansbury. former Socialist
member of the House of Commons, a
deputation of women proceeded to

by p. c. Illingworth the chief Liberal
whip. after having been rebuffed in

Correct Time Allowance

The regatta committee announcer
that the Vanitie allowed the Reso-
lutte minutes, 13 seconds. This was
the first time that the time allowance
has been openly stated.
The Resolute captured the weather
berth at the line and led from the
start. She increased her lead to
minutes, Is seconds in the 15-mile
thrash to windward against a 12-knot
Southwestern. The Herreshoff creation
also outran the Gardner boat for the
first time today adding "a seconds to
her lead in the spinnaker run. The
race was sailed In q steady breeze.
Defiance in Poor Shape
The dropping out of the Defiance
was a distinct disappointment. The
tri-city yacht, however, was in poor
shape for racing, and the trouble with
a block, which was partially repaired
before the start did not improve her
chances. Her skipper, George M.
Pynchon, made game effort TO race.
An ill-ftting working topsail was set
in place of a club-topsail but the De-
fiance made no fight for place at the
start. She hung about to windward OF
the hghtship and let the Resolute and
the Vanitie frolic about and cross
ahead. In fact, the Owen boat was 40
seconds behind the handicap signal
Once across Mr.. Pynchon split tacks
with the other two yachts and took
a long board inshore. The Defiance
was given a good full, but even then
she did not head within dozen points
of the other two yachts, fighting 1t
out to windward. She kept the port
tack until close to the Jersey shore,
when she came about and started aft
er her rivals then nearly two miles
rhead. She held along shore for three
or four miles when the bowsprit strap
broke: then she eased off her main
sheet and headed back into the Sandy
Hook Horse Shoe.
A Great Struggle
Left to continue the contest the
Resolute and the Vanitie had q great
struggle to the outer mark. The Here
shoff boat seemed a trifie tender, but
she headed higher and footed trine
faster than the Gardner creation. Her
gain was gradually improved, but the
greater part Of the 4-minute margin
at the turn was captured in the last
two miles when the Vanitie hauled
down a small baby lib topsail. In the
other three complete races which the
two yachts have sailed, the Vanitie
has out-run the Resolute. Today the
Gardner boat could make no gain on
her rival down the wind. The yachts
will have a chance tomorrow to race
over a 30-mile triangular course off
the Hook.

To Stop Huerta's Retreat

From sources in touch with the Con-
stitutionalist agency here 1t was
learned that the particular object OF
the activity of Carranza's troops at
Vera Cruz state is to cut off all means
of retreat for Huerta and his cabinet
in case they determine to quit the
capital The Constitutionalist forces
in Vera Cruz state numbering about
1000 are said to be disposed so that
they might be able to cut not only
the railroad between Mexico City and
Vera Cruz, but also the line between
the capital and Puerto Mexico. The
forces are under command of Gen.
Aeuilar. and his chief of staff is Col.
Manuel Perez Romero, a brother-In-
law of the late President Madefo.
1t has been understood here that
the South American mediators are pre-
pared to make an appeal for huertas
personal safety if his government COZ
lapses before the conclusion OF the
Niagara conference.
Administration officials were not
greatly alarmed over threats to cut
communication between Mexico CITY
and the gulf ports, because virtually
all Americans who wanted to leave the
capitol and nearby points reached
safety some time ago.
Gen. Funston also reported that ru-
mors of a contemplated f'ederai at
tack on Vera Cruz persisted TO the
point where they could not be ignored
War department officials, however,
| were not inclined to regard the rumprs
seriously. General Funston was uh-
able to say how many Federals re-
manned in the territory between the
capitol and the Gulf.

ried by four men. The procession
started under escort of a large body
of mounted and foot police. The
crowds grew steadily, but the police
had carefully laid their plans and
when the procession had arrived at
a point where the narrow road and
the tramway traffic compelled 1t to
divide a sharp command rang out. The
street was quickly cordoned by po-
lice and before her supporters were
aware what had happened, Sylvia
Pankhurst was under arrest and was
being whisked away in a taxicab to
Jail, followed by few shrleking
women.
Disheartened at the loss of their
leader, the women reformed their
ranks, but made slow progress. A
body of students attempted to inter-
fere with them and created disturb
ances. but were foiled by the police,
who poured In in such numbers all
along the route that they were quite
as numerous as those in the process
sion.
There was little enthusiasm among
the marchers, and the openly express
ed hostility of the populace damped
the ardor of the demonstration, so
that by the time it reached the Strand
the police had little difficulty in dis
persing it and preventing any reform

SWEET MEMORY OF AN
OLD-FASHIONED MOTHER

Thank God some of us have old
fashioned mothers. Not a woman OF
the period, painted enameled. with
all her society manners and hne
dresses. white jeweled hands that
never felt the clasp of baby fingers
but the dear old-fashioned mother
with a sweet voice, eyes into whose
clear depth the love-light shone and
brown hair just threaded with sill
yer, lying smooth upon her faded
cheek. The hands, worn with toll
gently guided our steps in childhood
and smoothed our cheeks in SICK
ness. ever reaching out to us In
warming tenderness. Blessed is the
memory of an old-fashioned mother.
It floats to us like the beautiful per-
fume of some wood blossom. the
music of other voices may be lost
but the enchanting memory of her's
will echo in our souls forever.
