House.
President Wilson made IL clear that
the campaign, IL such IL may be called,
would have no effect upon him, and
that II was his plan to push the trust
program through the senate with the
aid of all the means at his command.
He expressed the view that business
was as good, If not better, now than a
while ago, and that IL would be less
harmful TO the business of the country
TO have the trust legislation program
completed than to be confronted with
u period of uncertainty which would
accompany delay.
News OF what the president had said
and OF the giving out OF the circular
letters spread quickly to the capitol.
One of the circular letters was circu.
lated by the Simmons Hardware Com.
pany OF st. Louis. T.. G. Simmons, tho
head of the company, had been Sc
leeted for a member OF the federal
reserve board and his nomination was
to have gone to the senate. II was
announced at the White House that
Mr.. Simmons had declined the place
and that Charles S. Hamlin OF Boston.
now an assistant secretary of the
treasury. would be nominated In his
place.
White House officials emphatically
denied, however, that the circular
letter sent out by the Simmons com.
pany had any connections with the
declination OF Mr.. Simmons.

RAPID ACTION
NOW EXPECTED
CaHanza Ban marks Crisis In
Mediation Situation
WASHIA5T0i WATCHES KEErlY

American and Huerta Delegates Are
Said TO t,ave Practically Agreed
On Provisional President But That
Rebel LeaGers VIII Have to Approve
Before Administration Finally In
dorses Selection.
Washington, June I6.-The action
OF the modiators in turning down Car
rama again was regarded by officials
here as marking crisis In the situa
ton.
Decisive developments are expected
quickly now or not at all. Pres.G eni
Wilson and Mr.. Bryan remained I'm thu
closest touch with the American dele
gates at the conference.
They watched every development
with the keenest interest feeling that
any hour might bring news concern
ing the selection OF provisional presi
dent.
1t was stated positively by Nom
bers of the Constitutionalist junta that
no representatives of Carranza will
60 to Niagara Falls except as fully
empowered delegates to represent
him at the conference.
1t has been limited by these same
authorities before that possibly Cald-
eron, Cabrera and Vasconclos might
be present at Niagara Falls to advise
and consult with the American and
Huerta delegates though not to take
part In the conferences i'm which the
A. B. c. powers were represented. In
structfons have been received from
Carranza forbidding this course.
II was suggested by officials that
compromise might be affected by the
United States whereby Huerta and
Carranza would agree upon the selec-
tion of neutral Mexican to head the
provisional government.
This. members of the rebel junta
declared, will not be considered, as it
would not hasten the phcification Of
Mexico and would be temporizing
rather than a compromise. Trouble
would spring up anew within a year
II deal was made with Huerta, and
anza Is well aware OF this.
II was said unofiicially that the
American and Huerta delegates had
about reached an agreement as to a
possible provisional head, but that the
rebel attitude toward the man In Ques-
tlon had not been learned.
The belief is spreading that the only
efficacious means of restoring peace In
Mexico and settling the present vexing
problems will be for the United States
to withdraw from the question and
permit the federals and rebels to fight
out their grievances until one OF the
other is completely subjugated.

Lamar. at relates to the provisional

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

There is only one way to cure deaf
