OPTIMISM IN MEXICO CITY
Confidently Expected There That Me-
diators Will Effect Amicable
Settlement.

Mexico City, May 25.-Extreme OPP
timism is manifested in official circles
over the final outcome of the peace
conference at Niagara Falls on the
basis of the preliminary work done
there. The foreign office in particular
is greatly pleased and confidence is
expressed there that the difficulty be-
tween the United States and Mexico
would be satisfactorily arranged.
A high official said that President
Huerta, actuated by the highest pa
triotic motives, was willing 10 sacrifice
himself for the good Oh the country
and a settlement of the difficulty was
now believed to be less difficult than
before the conferences began. Presi-
dent Huerta was said to be only con
cerned with a settlement compatible
with the decorum and dignity of
Mexico.

Progressives Lay Plans to Wage
Vigorous Campaign Through
out Nation.

Oyster Bay, n. Y, May 23.-What
Colonel Roosevelt described as Not
exactly a literary discussion vas held
at Sycamore Hill. 1t was perhaps the
most important political conference
in which he has participated since the
close of the campaign OF 1912. II
brought together representatives OF
New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio, the
three states in which Colonel Roose-
welt probably will do his hardest
fighting this fall.
At the meeting were George w. Per-
kins of New York, chairman OF the
executive committee of the Progress
i've party; Charles Brown, member OF
the national committee Clifford Pin
chot, Progressive Candidate for United
States senator from Pennsylvania
and f. A. Van Valkenberg of Phila
delphia, one of the foremost figures
in the affairs in that state.
1t was decided definitely that the
tentative plans for Colonel Roose
velt's campaign trip from the Atlantic
TO the Pacific should be adopted. This
tour probably will take the forme'
president into almost every state il
the Union.

SUFFRACETTES LOSE FIGHT
POLICE CHECK DASH TO BUCK
lNGHAM PALACE.
Fierceness Of Combat Surpasses Any
Previous Demonstration-Mrs.
Pankhurst Arrested.

London, May 23.-An attempt by
militant suffragettes to present a petit
ton to King George at buckingham
Palace failed, but not until a battle
had been fought which for tierceness
surpassed any past militant demon
Stration.
The crowd of onloOkers suffered al
most as much as the fighters, as the
people waited in the hot sun for
hours for an attack, which eventually
came from a totally unexpected quar-
ter.
The police precautions had been di-
rected toward repelling an assault
from the direction of Westminster,
where the ~suffragettes had advertised
that they would form a parade. In
stead. a small body, known because OF
their militant record as "~gunWOmen'
of the Woman's Social and Political
union, burst from a private residence
on a Hyde park corner and forced
their way through the archway at the
top Of Constitution hill before the
small squad Of police on duty there
had time to collect and resist them.
Headed by Mrs. Pankhurst and Miss
Sylvia ~Pankhurst, the flying squadron
of women rushed down Constitution
hill toward Buckingham palace, but
half way along they met the most
hated enemy of the militants, in the
person of Inspector Riley, who has
charge of the %Suffragette detail at the
Scotland Yard police headquarters.
The shock of combat was short, but
sharp, and resulted in the arrest of
many women, who, in the fighting,
used clubs with a facility which be-
trayed long training.
The roadway had just been
sprinkled with water and many mount
ed policemen were thrown. Their
comrades, on foot, rolled with them
in the mud, but eventually the
strength of the policemen old and in
a few minutes over 80 women, includ-
ing Mrs. Pankhurst had been placed
under arrest, while the others had
been scattered into small groups.
One group, headed by Miss Sylvia
Pankhurst, reached a point almost
across the drive from the palace,
where mounted police surrounded the
women and placed Miss Sylvia and
several of her comrades in custody.
Fifty-seven in all, were arrested.
This number included three men.

BECKER IS GUILTY,
SECOND JURY FINDS
FIVE BALLOTS NECESSARY TO
CONVICT HIM OF FIRST DE-
GREE MURDER.
GRANTED STAY TILL MAY 20
Only Pardon or Interference Again by
Court Can Save Former New York
Police Lieutenant From
Chair.

New York, May 25-Twelve men de.
cided for the second time that Charles
Becker was the arch-conspirator re-
sponsible for the Rosenthal murder
which nearly two years ago awoke
New York to a realization Of corrup-
ton in the police department and
opened a new era Of police reform.
First Degree Murder.
Becker, once a police lieutenant,
was found guilty of murder in the
first degree. Only a pardon or inter
ference again by the court Of appeals

electric chair the four gunner who
shot Herman Rosenthal, the gambler,
early on the morning of July l6, 1912.
The jury decided that the gunner
were Becker's agents.
Five Ballots Necessary.
Five ballots were necessary to de-
eide Becker's fate. They were taken
almost Immediately after the jurors
returned from luncheon at an uptown
hotel, where they went as soon as Su-
preme Court Justice Samuel Seabury
finished his charge. The fifth was
unanimous for conviction.
Tears streamed down the foreman's
face as he announced the decision and
tears stood in the eyes of several 9TH
er jurymen, but sympathy did not
warp their judgment. They had agreed
that the confederation which the dis
trict attorney failed to present at the
first trial to support the stories of
Rose, WALTON and Weber, the three
accOmplices who turned informers.
had been furnished by the new wit
nesses at the second.
Weeks Stay Granted.
Becker's counsel announced that he
would appeal and gained a weeks
stay for the preparation Of his future
campaign.
The defendant was granted a short
meeting with his wife and his broth
ers and then taken back to his cell in
the Tombs.
Becker and his wife were talking
in a room adjoining the sheriff's Office
when a court attendant announced
that the jury had reached a verdict.
Mrs. Becker vas not permitted to
accompany her husband to the court
room.
Foreman" Clerk Penny asked,
have you reached a verdict?"
Blagden, a youngish man, blond and
slim, brushed his eyes with a hand
kerchief. already damp.
1--WE have" he said softly. 1--WE
find the defendant" he hesitated a
moment and continued in a whisper:
1--WE find this defendant guilty as
charged in the Indictment; guilty Of
murder in the first degree
The veins at Becker's temples swell
ed. His great frame swayed and droop-
ed; then, with quick control, he be-
came himself again.
Manton, attorney for the convicted
man, told by the court he would be
granted a reasonable time in which to
make any motion he deemed advisable,
asked for one week and received it.
Charles Becker, you are remanded
to the Tombs prison until May 49,"
the court announced.

ESQ KILLED AND 300 HURT
INDIANS AND NEGROES IN DIES
PERATE BATTLE.
Smouidering Race Hatred Breaks Out
in War That Leads 80
Horrors.

New Orleans, May 1.-Two hundred
and fifty persons were killed and 300
wounded in a three-day race war be-
tween Indians and negroes on United
Fruit plantations neal Puerta Barrios,
Guatemala, according 10 q message re-
ceiyed here.
Smouldering race hatred of the ma
tive Indians for negroes. iniamed by
Il OF the negroes Winning the Indian
girl Mazda from her father at dice
and his refusal 10 sell her back TO a
native, is reported to be the cause of
the trouble.
The negro, Clarence Williams. had
been working on one OF a number OF
plantations the United Fruit company
trict, according TO the story. He had
incurred the hatred OF many OF the
Indians because of his prowess with
dice.
In a game recently. in which Naza-
da's father participated. he Won all the
old poems money and then, Guate-
malan fashion, the old man wagered
his daughter. He lost. As is Gus
tomary among these Indians the girl
did not object 10 her part of the rams
action, and was taken TO the shanty OF
the American negro. AS the story
goes, Christofo Zurello, a half-breed
boss OF a neighboring farm. had want
ed Mazda as a wife for his son, and
was incensed when he learned that
she had become the property of the
negro. According TO GuatemalaG In
dian custom. the father of the girl was
eliminated from the matter by his I'M
lucky cast Of the dice, so Zurella emit
cred into negotiations with the negro.
He offered him thirty pesos for the
girl. The negro refused. Soon after
Williams left for his work three men
appeared at the shanty. Ii is said
they were Zurello, a peon named
Pedro and half breed. Williams had
occasion TO so TO the shanty a few
hours later. Tied to a nearby tree
was his Indian girl, mutilated with
knives.
Just before she died she told him
who had assailed her. Aiming him
self Williams, it is declared began a
search for Zurello, found him and shot
him to death. Then he killed Pedro
and the half breed.
Fighting was kept up for many days
and, according to the story reaching
here, the bodies of GA negroes were
found. Just how many Indians were
killed probably never will be known.
