ATHENS WILL ! RULE IN MEXICO This Is Plan of Mediators Endeavoring to Settle
 Problem.
RECOGNIZE CARRANZA
Tinted States Proposes to Recognize C0nstitutiOnaIists as Soon as Mexican Capital is Taken, Med-
 iatiOn or No Mediation.

Washington, June 1.-The purpose 0f fhe administration with respect to mediation and the future of Mexico was outlined today by an official who has personal and intimate knowledge ] of that policy. The principal feature of the administration plan is it's in- tention to recognize Carranza, media ton or no mediation, the moment h1 undertakes to settle the claims of the United States against the republic of Mexico. That is as soon as he takes possession of the capital.
 From another source it is learned that Carranza will send delegates to the Niagara Falls peace conference\l- though the extent to which they will participate in the barley will be limit ed.
 These two developments sum up the most important features of the MeXi- can situation it is tonight.
 The recognition of Carranza by the United States will not be effected, ap- parently. by the action of the media tors at Niagara Falls. If the outcome of their deliberations is that Carranza shall sit in as the head of an executive board of reconstruction well and good. If they insist on board of different composition with another than Carran- ga at its head, and even should the Huerta delegates and the representa- tives of the United States agree to it, the fact still remains that Carranza will be recognized by the United States when he takes the Mexican capital although in taking it he may expel the regime established by the medators.
 MediatOrs Plan.
 The plan of the mediators, as it is learned here from unquestioned au- thority, contemplates the creation of a board of four, six, eight, or any even numbers of members. One half of the membership is to be composed of cltl- zens of Mexico who are conspicu- ously in favor of Huerta and what he stands for; the other half of citizens who are just as conspicuously on the side of the constitutionalists, and who will represent the views of Ma dero, Carranza and Zapata.
 The head of this board is to be neutral, if such a man can be found, and he is to have no authority what ever, except what is practically tech nlcally known as executive authority.
 This means that the government of Mexico as reconstructed temporarl- ly, would be administered entirely by a board of citizens, the head of which would have only executive functions and no power to veto.
 Wilson FavOrs Small Board.
 It is understood that President Wilson personally favors a board of three, with the presiding officer a figure head functionary to be known as provisional president"
 It IS now apparent that the presi- dent and Carraza in mind, as just de- scrlbed, when he accepted mediation to include all factions in Mexico.
 1t is now morraly certain that Carranza will send delegate to Niagara Falls. They will, however, communicate to the conferees that lney will be present wit hspecific in structions.
 That they will not become and lh'ersral part of any body not com posed entirely of Mexicans for the ,,scusslons of the internal affairs of Mexico.
