U. s. ATTITUDE THREATENS TO
 BLOCK PEACE Wilson Administration Re- fuses Terms Which Rec
 ognize Huerta PROVISIONAL MUST
 BE ELIMINATED Mediators Striving Hard to Bridge Gulf separat-
 ing Nations

Niagara Falls. Ont. June 1O-A dangerous obstruction to progress in a vital point in the mediation pro- ceedings has arisen which again threatens failure for the negotiations.
 The United States has said to the mediators in unequivocal terms that it cannot consent to any method of transition from the existing regime to the proposed new provisional govern
 ment that can be construed as recog- hilton of Huerta's administration.
 The mediators are insisting that General Huerta be permitted to make the appointment of the man agreed upon here for provisional president. This, the American government abso- lute1y refuses to accept. not only be- cause it is committed against recogni- ton of Huerta but hecause it has been informed by the constitutionalists that under no circumstances will they ac- cept a peace plan which permits Huerta to exercise the constitutional function of naming his successor. On this point the mediators and Ameri- can delegates are blocked.
 Some of the principals have lost hope for a settlement but there is a, growing confidence that the mediators will devise some method of bridging the difficulty rather than allow media ton to founder on the rocks.
 Involved in the question of method in choosing the new provisional presi- dent is an underlying principle which, if not settled now, will certainly pro- yoke other disagreements.
 The American government is firm in its belief that the constitutionaIists, Mexico should be given the controlling share in the new government; that the constitutionalists are moving forward to undoubted conduest in Mexico City and that to prevent such q contfn-e gency concessions should be made the peace plan impossible.
 The United States believes that the constitutiona1ists with their large army form the real party which must be pacified and that the transfer of pow CT must be to them in order to insure peace.
 2 The American delegates, it is under stood, have conceded the principle that none of the foremost military con ferees of the constitutionahsts or any who have been conspicuous in the Hu- erta regime should be provisional pres ident but they do not believe any pro- gress can be made toward a settlement unless the man chosen is of consti- tutionalist sympathies, broad minded enough to be acceptable to the Huerta party.
 In the long conference. yesterday be- tween the mediators and the American no individuals were suggest ed by either party for provisional pres ldent but the character of the man for the position was discussed to some ex- tent.
 Amnesty for the Huerta followers and 8 guarantee of their property rights has been undertaken by the American government. Also, the Unit ed States considers 1t has acted mag unanimously in declining to ask for a war indemnity as a result of the occu-. patton of Vera Cruz. It wants as rep aration the establishment of a. stable government and to have peace restor- ed. It will ask nothing more.

Mrs. Shy der has been employed at the Gray home until about a month ago.
 It was 2:30 o'clock this morning when Mrs. Gray was awakened by a. strange noise. She awakened her husband but he was skeptical and again dozed. About ha1f an hour later he was awak- ened and decided to investigate

PAVING COMMISSION HAS CHARTER DUTY
 TO LAY PAVEBEENTs
Both Council and Commission Have Author f E6e
 Repairs.

City Attorney William H. ComIeg has given an opinion in which he finds that the charter definitely and clearly gives to the paving and sewer conn mission the power and the duty -tp or- der and supervise the laying of an permanent paving. The only function of the Common Council is to designate the streets upon which the pavement shall be laid
 He also finds that the right to make paving repairs is given both the coun- cfI and the commission.
 Thus Mayor Wilson and the council, in order to control the expenditure of $2oo.oOO voted for paving will be obliged to claim they are merely re- pairing the streets, and not laying permanent pavement.
 The paving and sewer commission was created for the very purpose of stopping scandals which has arisen in the council over the award of paving contracts

 Miles of Warrenite to cost $I6O, 900 der contracts which Director of Pub lie Works Jacob A. Courtade made last week with the Warren broth CTS Go. of Boston. While members of the paving and sewer commission have been asking an opinion from the city attorney, William. H. ComIey, Jr, as to what constitutes a permanent pavement, Mayor Wilson has seen to it that Director Courtade under alI- thority from the Common Council has contracted for pavemen to eat up most of the $2OO,OOO pavement bond issue voted at the recent spe- ciaI election.
 The council at it's meeting on Mon day, June 1, voted that bfturninous macadam should be laid on a large number of streets covering an area, of many miles in Bridgeport and the council directed that Director of Pub lie Works Courtade should make con tracts for the work. The contracts have been let at $1.20 per square yard the same price which the city paid for the Warrenite pavement laid in Bridgeport last year. Director Courtade admitted today that his con. tracts with Warren brothers would approximate about $16O,o00 and would leave little from the $200, 900
 
 permanent pavement.
 The resolution under which the paving was ordered called for an is- sue of $2O0,OO0 bonds the proceeds to be used for pavement "other than water bound macadann'' Mayor Will son sand Dir ector Courtade hold that the laying of, Warrenite is 'tmacadagn repairs and hence. it should be done under the3 supervision of the streets and sidewalks committee or the com mon council with the director in charge.

They expect work will begin in ten days. J. A.

SHANIEY'S HEIRS
 TO SEEK DAMAGES

The first hearing before Compensa- ton Commissioner B. T. Buckingham will be held on June 22 at II o'clock. Some time ago James Shanley, a groundrnan in the employ of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Rail road was ground to death under the wheels of freight train in this city.
 A brother of the dead man living in this city seeks to secure compensation for the mother and father of Shanley who live in Ireland. The brother says that ShanIey contributed to the sup port of his parents, who are old and were dependent upon money sent to them by the sons. He is represented by Attorney James M Cummings of this city. It is the contention of the railroad company who are contesting the case, that Shanley was killed through willful negligence on his own part.

REV. FATHER McELROY
 DIED A POOR MAN
Late Rector of St. Augustine's Leaves
 Practically No Estate

The estate of Rev. Charles J. McEI- roy, who had been for eight years per uianent rector of St. Augustine's, one of the largest Roman Catholic parishes in the Hartford diocese, and previous 1y in charge of other large parishes. it is believed, will be one of the smallest ever probated here. Arrangem ents for the settlement of the estate have already been started and in the pro- bate court today Rev. John J. Ken nedy. assistant pastor of St Angus tines; under Father McElroy, qualified as administrator of the estate.
 It is we'll known that Father McEl- roy gave literally to charity and for church work. He often expressed the opinion that members of the clergy ought not to accumulate wealth and he lived up to the letter of this be- lief Although attaches of the pro bate office said today they could not with propriety attempt to estimate the amount of the estate at this time, other people who claimed to be in a posi- ton to know declared that, the estate of the deceased priest would not total over several hundred dollars.

nish water, gas and electricity to make all necessary repairs to mains and connections in the street at once. Today notices were mailed to property owners to reset curb, gutter and side walk and to make proper sewer, gas water and electric light connexions.
 The opinion of the city attorney throws doubt upon the validity o1 these contracts, and the general be- lief is that they will be set aside i6 the paving commission, or any tax payer, should take legal action to chat end.
 Paving Commission
 to Consider Matter
 Until the fact was communicated to them by representatives of The Farmer, members of the paving com mission had not learned that War renite contract had been closed while they were obtaining the opinion of the city attorney.
 'I had not heard of it," said FL Fl. DeLoss, of the Handy 6 Harmon O., when seen at BrooklaWn club this afternoon.
 'I do not wish to be quoted for publication regarding the action our board, may take. I think the board should speak for itself"
 T will say that so far as as an individual is concerned, that ] will perform the duties imposed upon me by law, or retire from the place"
 Frederick Atwater, also a member of the commission, said: 1T had not heard that a contract had been made. would not like to say what action the commission will take, but let that come from the commission"
 It was apparent that the members of the commission realized they had been treated with serious discourtesy. but they were not inclined to dssa1ss the question in advance of official ae- ton by Eue commission
 Col M. H. Rogers. chairman of ths commission, was out of the city today.
