PIONEER AIRsHiP MAN HAS RELATED MEDICATION
Derided Because of Accident at Initial Flipht-Glenn curtiss Went AIoft With 1t Yesterday.

Elmira, N. r.. May 2s.-The theory of Dr. Samuel Pierrepont Langley, who proclaimed to the world that he had solved the problem of the air. several years before the upper clements had been successfully navigated by a heavier-than-ai machine, was yindi- Glenn Curtiss, the aviator, went aloft in sIangley's Folly" -s--
 The crude flying machine. which fell into the Potomac river when pr. Langley, it's inventor, attempted to fly in 1t and which was later consigned to the Smithsonian institute in Washing ton, had every requisite for flight and remained in the air long enough to demonstrate the practical mind of it's maker, who had been ridiculed by his incredu1ous contemporaries. The old early this morning, the pilot immedi- ately climbed into the seat and was away under much the same conditions as would prevail in a flight of the lat est model aeroplane. The flight was short, but successful in every respect. The Langley machine but little resem . bles the trim and powerful fiiers of today, but in it's crude state it com- pines the basic principles of aviation and after many years of neglect the "old junk" came into it's own, giving its aged inventor his deserved place among the pioneers of aviators.
 But for an untimely accident and what was termed the "miserliness of the government" Langley would un- doubtedly have won fame during his lifetime. Instead, he died broken-heart- ed, after devoting twenty years to the study of aviation

WARNING TO AMERICANS TO KEEP AWAY FROM TAMPtco
Can Find No Employment There, Says
 Rear Admiral Mayo.

Washington, May 2S.-Urgent rec concentrations that Americans should not yet return to Tampico were trans mitted to the navy department tonight by Rear Admiral Mayo, through Rear Admiral Badger
 Admiral Mayo's report says:
 understand that about thirty more Americans have arrived at Tampico by train today I cannot too strongly reiterate my personal opinion that Americans should be slow in return ing to the oil fields around Tampico, especially as the companies are not sending any men out, and I under stand that ten companies refused to employ Americans under present con- ditions. I feel that a large number Of unemployed Americans may cause an embarrassing, if not serious situa- tion.'
 The admiral added that, ss far as he had been able to ascertain, no di- rect demand had been made on oil companies for contributions to the constitutionalist cause.
 :. The land telegraph service from Tampico he said. was extremely un- certain and no further word had been received concerning the reported inten- tion of Carranza to make Tampico his headquarters.
 The tender Yankton has visited the lighthouses at Perez, Arenas and Tri- anguplos and reported all the lights in operation and in good condition.

Washington. May 2S-President Wil- son told delegates to the National Foreign Trade convention who called on him at the White House today that one of the chief needs of the United. States was a merchant marine and that he was greatly interested in the development of the foreign trade of the United States
 There is nothing in which I am more interested than the fullest de- velopment of the trade of this coun- try and its righteous conquest of foreign markets" said he. Tt Is one of the things that we hold nearest to our heart that the government and you should cooperate in the most in- timate manner in accomplishing our common object I am sure that speak the conviction of all of you when l say that enc of our chief needs is to have a merchant marine. because if we have to deliver our goods in other peoples delivery wagons their goods are delivered first and our goods are delivered incidentally on n5their routes.

Washington. May 2S-Conferences which indicated rapid progress in mediotion of the Mexican situation at Niagara Falls were held here today between President Wilson. Secretary of State Bryan and other department officials, none of whom would pub licly discuss the details of proposed settlement of the yexatious problems in hand.
 Information obtainabie here, how . ever, reflected the news from the Can adian border city that essentials or Mexican pacif1cation plan had been agreed upon between representatives of General Huerta and the United States and that some subjects stll were under consideration before protocol actually could be drafted for signature.
 So confident of, ultimate peace were some goverr ment officials that the re- ported landing of ammunition for Hu- erta from German ships at Puerto Mexico caused them no uneastness. One official declared that Huerta prob ably would never have need for the arms his forces had procured. Ask ed what he meant by this. he said it wss because everything looks so hopeful for peace"
 Officials generally admit that the basis of the plan of mediation is for the establishment, of a commission government or junta, to be composed ef provisional president and four cabinet ministers who would be neu- tral in so far as political affiliations are concerned. To this provisional government Huerta's power would be transferred pending an election
 That the basic plan has been com municated to the constitutionalisi chief. General Carranza and his ad- herents still are not a party to the mediation. it was pointed out that tho first thing for the mediators to de- termine upon is the disposition of the the Mexico City government. Thal done. developments might arise vhicf would involve future negotiations wftf the constftutionalist forces
 It was reported tonight that wort had been received from Carranza b, his Representatives here in response ts exchanges relating to the progress ol
 mediation thus far. It was stated that the constitutionalist leader haf not receded from his position that hs would not consent to mediating Mex ico's internal affairs Some sugges tions, however, were said to hav' come from the consitutionalist chic which were regarded as encouragint rather than discouraging to the gen eral mediation problem. These. it wa understood, would be communicate to the South American mediators.- Hov the information would be forwarded was not disclosed, but it was deemed likely that a representative of Car
 ranza might take them to Niagara i Falls.

AGGREGATION PLANS SENT
 TO WILSON AND HUERTA.
When Approval is Received by Media
 tors Secondary Plane Will Be Taken r. Up.


 Niagara Falls. Ont, May 2s.--Plans for the pacification of Mexico through
 mediation have been virtually com
 pleled.
 Tno major issues are now before
 both President Wilson and General
 Huerta for approval When this is oh-
 tained, secondary questions will be
 taken up. A protocol covering the oa-
 sic principles will be signed, the me-
 diation conference at Niagara Falls
 will close, the delegates will return. to
 their homes, and the mediators will
 complete the details of the undertaking
 in conjunction with the authorities at
 Washington and Mexico City. This
 work may require some months. It Is
 expected that the responsibility for
 dealing with the constitutionalist ele- ment will be thrown upon the United States Among the points still to be dis
 posed of is believed to be the selection
 of persons to comprise the new pro- visional government and the exact
 manner by which it will take office in succession to the Huerta regime.
 On these questions the mediators
 were in communication today with the American and Mexican delegates All parties said satisfactory progress had been made and that . protocol con- corning the conference hero proba1e9
 would be signed within a week
 The main point under discussion al present is just how the transition from the present administration to new provisional government can be effected | Inasnuch as the United States nex
 never recognized the constitutional
 right of General Huerta to hold rhe | office of provisional president, the aim of the American delegates is un5er--
 stood to be that the new provisional executive shal. not appear to have
 been chosen by Huerta- It is neoes-
 sary, if the Mexican constitution is followed HteSsliy, that the office of minister of foreign affairs. which IS now vacant should be filled by the dividual to whom the mediation con ! ferencs expects General Huerta to tlrn r over the reins of government The
 Mexican constitution provides that Tn case of vacancy in the office or presI- ! dent. the minister of foreign affairs shah succeed to the position
 The United States it is known on
 reliable authority, will not allow tech nicalfties to stand in the way of e ! quick settlement of the problem. and the American delegates recognize that an> irregular method of choosing a provisional president might evoke op- position from such Mexican people a think Huerfa's title constitutional. The common effort of both the American and Mexican delegates. therefore. is to preserve the forms of the Mexican constitution in whatever arrangement is agreed upon The American goy- ernment has been desirous that the present Huerta government give way to a commission or a jnnta of i've per- sons. or possibly three The Mexican delegation takes the view that com mission would be unpopular because tllelr people. being unused fo such a form of administration, might resent it B of foreign suggestion They urge that the succession should be made regular throvgh the seIectioo e< c ..|+F
