NO LENIENCY FOR
 DRINKING AUTOISTS

Hartford June 17-s'Any man who takes six drinks within an hour-or within six hours-while he is driving a car, is not fit to drive so dangerous a piece of machinery as an automobile, x said Secretary of the State Phillips at a heafing given Thomas AcGann, who. drove an automobile which figured in a recent joy-ride in which the police patrol chased another automobile more than a mile over streets of the city after the car had seriously injur- ed street sweeper on Albany ave nue.
 Abraham A.. Katz. McGann's lawyer, attempted to plead for clemency on the grounds that it would be unjust to debar McGann from having liz cense in the future for an event which had already cost him large amount in fines. He pointed out that, as a chauffeur, McGann's livelihood depend ed upon his license.
 'sH you want me to consider the livelihood of this man and his fam ily,'' said the secretary. .I suggest that you think of the lives and Iivelihoods of the pedestrians that he endangerS, and which are just as dear to them.
 ''There has been an increase of more than 100 per cent in the number of automobile accidents in this state, and this department is going to be as se- were possible in it's treatment of ev- cry case Of this sort. It is going to see that no man operates car in the state of Connecticut who has not a H- cense. The automobile law would be @ farce if I overlooked this .case.'' l The story told practically the same that told in the police court and at the former hearings. McGann admitted that he had no license, and no right to drive the car. He is a lchauffeur, and had not renewed his Ii- cense for 1914 at the time. He dec1ar- 1 ed that they had started out to look for McGann's brother, who owned the car, and had three drinks of ale. They I then went to another cafe and had three more a1es.
 They were not going more than a few miles an hour when they hit the street sweeper, and NIcGann said they were afraid to stop because they thought the injured man was an ItaI- ian and that they would be nobbed 1 Secretary Phillips asked him if he thought he could operate such a dif1- cult piece of machinery as an automo- bile after he had finished six drinks in the course of an hour.
 MT. Phillips declared that McGann would never get another license to op- crate a car in this state unless he could prove that he had given up his load habits.

WANT RECOGNITION
 FOR NEUTRAL CHIEF

Niagara Falls, June 17-The unsat- isfactory talk between the American delegates and two constitutiona1ist rep resentatives at Buffalo over night dis patches of friction at Juarez between Carranza. and Villa officials and stor- ies of federal successes at zacatecas produced a, confusing situation for the mediation board today.
 Justice Lamar and Frederick w. Lehman, the American delegates, de- c11ned to divu1ge what they had learn ed in Buffalo from Rafael Zubaran and Luis Cabrera, personal representatives of General Carranza, but spoke o1 the conference as clarifying and valua- bIe.
 The constitutfonalists had explained in detail and with emphasis that there could be no compromise in any shape or form with General Huerta or any of his party, that a prominent consti- tutiona1tst alone would be accepted by them for the presidency and that the military triumph of the revolution was inevitable.
 The American delegates realize the futility of further discussion with the Huerta delegates as to personnel The Huerta envoys say they never will accept a constitutionalist, but want a neutral.
 Mediation has been in deadlock on the type of man to be chosen. It 1 is expected that when Minister Naon
 
 there will be a full conference to de- | ternine whether in view of the disa- greement the mediation proceedings should be continued
 The Huerta delegates are anxious that the mediation shall not be inter- rupted. They think the threatened break between Carranza and Villa should persuade the United States to | agree to the selection of a neutral for provisional president and to give to that individual recognition and moral support. Under such conditions, they say, the new administration would soon crush the constitutionaHsts because a recognized government could get arms and financial aid without difficulty.
 The American governme ent hitherto has been unwilling to assent to this because it believes such a program would only prolong fighting with the ever recurrent chance of injuries to foreigners and international compIica- tions.
 The indications today were that the conference Friday would develop whether efforts to compose internal differences should be continued. In this event future meetings wow1d be confined to an effort to dispose Of the international conflict between the l United States and Mexico.

CLAYTON BILL RATE
 CLAUSE ELIMINATED

Washington, June 47.LThe Clayton bill was before the Judiciary commit tee Of the Senate yesterday and some progress was made in shaping this anti trust legislation sent over to the Senate from the House to make it ac- Eif1cant action taken yesterday was a tentative agreement to strike from the bill so much of section z as would have permitted traffic associations to agree among themselves upon rates which should be lawful when ap- proved by the interstate commerce commission.
 The senators present had eonsddera- b1e trouble with this feature of the bill and decided that unless it were eliminated it might give the railroad managers too much power over rates.

REPORT OF VILLAS SPLIT WITH CHIEF
 CAUSES ANXIETY

Washington. June 17-Confirmation or denial of the reported split between Carranza and Villa, the constitution alist leaders, was awaited anxiously today by administering officials. Consti- tutionalist agents here had received no official news up to early hour today of the reported resignation of Villa and the seizure by any of his officers of telegraph and information. bureaus in northern Mexico. They expressed the opinion however. that possibly Villa had taken summary means to impose military censorship on reports of the present campaign against Zacatecas.
 Men in the confidence of the revo1u- tionary agency declared that there had been no split between the two leaders and that, if Villa had seized the tele- graph offices, he acted entirely upon his authority as chief of the northern the1ess, aroused considerable apprehen- sion. A clash between the military and civilian leaders of the constitution- alist movement, 1t was pointed out, probably would result in conditions that would stir up demands for Amer 1can intervention.
 Failure of the American delegates to find some way to bring the consti- t1tiona1ists within the immediate scope of mediation in their conference with Carranzays representatives at Buffalo, was not entirely unexpected.
 President Wilson and his advisers were still hopeful that ultimately a way out Of the diplomatic dilemma might be found. If, as was hoped, the Huerta delegates would recede from their stand against the accep- ance of constitutionalist for the pro- visional presidency, it was believed that the revolutfonists might have a part in plans for the new government and that the Niagara conference might be continued.
 Rafael zu1baran and Luis Cabrera, the Carranxa agents who met the American delegates at Buffalo yester- day, were to return to Washington today. When Secretary Bryan went to the White House he was expected to submit to President Wilson full report of the result of the meeting at Buffa1o.
 Administration officials were unwill ing to. discuss any possibility of the adjournment of the Niagara confer ence Friday. They declined to indi- cate what disposition would be made Of the troops in Vera Cruz if the med lation was suspended.
