American Delegates Are Instructed
to Accept No other.

WASHINGTON, June 13.--The United
States delegates to the mediation confer
ences at Niagara Falls are bending every
.rfort toward influencing the mediators to
roconsider their attitude toward Carranza.
IN the event OF successor to Huerts
being agreed upon by the mediators and
IN, DELEGATES representing Huerta and the
United states, he must be a man OF pro-
nounced and indisputable Constitutionalist
,ympathes and tendencies. II Is author
stiyely known that the delegates repre-
sentirs this Government have received in
structlons to agree to no other tentative
President.
Officials here maintain that an agree
ment without acceptance by the Constitu-
,iona!ists will be futile, as they are now
the dominant faction In Mexico. No plan
for a provisional government which does
not seem likely of acceptance by the
constitutionalst leaders will meet with
the approval OF the Americans at the con.
f.rences.
II is believed here that the mediators
cannot consistently maintain their attitude
Of ignoring Carranza and his followers and
that they will be obliged to make some
Arrangement by which Carranza at least
will have an informal status at Nlaga<a
Falls.

cause of his making the submission of
the amendment an administration
measure it won.
She said Curtin, Democratic nomi-
nee for governor, has stood for the
most vicious policies affecting the in
terests Of women.
Speaking of the women's eight-hour
law, she said it's object was not to
prevent them working more than
eight hours if they desire, but to pre-
vent them being coerced into working
more than that time.
She told o. the long investigation
with q view to deciding on a mini
mum wage scale for women, and said
the commission, of which she is u
member, hopes to be able to report
on this point by January 1.
Of the work of the Bureau of La
Dor she gave many details showing
the care being exercised in looking
after the workmen's interest, of the
collection of $4,000 for poor labor
ers from unscruplous employers, of
the suppression of the pay check evil,
of the protection from accidents
through enforcement of safety pro-
visions, and of the general human
welfare work.
She said it is sometimes claimed
that it is immaterial, now that the
laws have been passed, who is elected
to enforce them, but she declared it
is just as essential that men in SYM
pathy with the laws be chosen to en-
force them as it was that the laws
should be passed, for the new powers
bestowed on public officials would be
just as potential for evil in bad hands
as they are for good in sympathetic
hands.

There was a moderate-sized audi
ence cut to hear Mrs. Charles Far
well Edison last evening in Masonic
Temple, but those present greatly en-
joyed the able review of the work of
Governor Johnson's administration.
The meeting was under the auspices
of the Johnson Eshleman Club and
Chairman f. J. Clark presided, max
ing brief speech, in which he
praised the work of Mrs. Edison and
others workers for social welfare.
Rev. William Cochran spoke of the
need for and the development of the
Progressive party as a timely sup
porter of the reforms the American
people demand.
Porter N. Ferguson told of the prin-
ciples which he will support if elect
ed to the Assembly.
Mrs. A. w. Swanson then intro
d uced Mrs. Edison, who struck hard
blows for the Progressive party.
She denounced as wholly false and
knowingly false the statements by
Fredericks and the Los Angeles Times
that Governor johnson had net sup
ported woman suffrage, and said it
was surprising now to be told by Mr
Fredericks that he was one of the
original suffragettes.
she said the workers for suffrage
at Sacramento had been able to get
but twenty senators to support the
measure, when twenty seven were re-
quircd, and they went to Governor
J Johnson and told him of their trou-
bles. The governor told them not to
worry, and then he sent for senator's
and assemblymen, elected on a plat
form declaring for submission of the
woman suffrage law, and solely be-

Mrs. Edison declared that at present
woman is the victim. In the past she
was burned at the stake, but she is
always the one who pays the price.
Recently in Los Angeles woman was
taqen to Jail and the man was freed.
When asked why he was thus allowed
to go, the reply was that it might
interfere with his business if he were
put in Jail.
In closing Mrs. Edison emphasized
the fact that it is the business of
every woman from now until Novem-
ber to see that this act is sustained
and carried.

There was music by the Tulane or

Mrs. Dan V. holland, vice presi-

Short speeches were made by Philo

man Needham, candidate for re-elec

Mrs. Edison gave an able and high

rect legislation and referendum meas
ures. She said the bill concerning
the ron-sale of game provides that
no wild game may be sold in Cali

alarming decrease in California, so
great that bird societies all over the
state are becoming concerned. This
act is being held up by game hunters
and market people of San Francisco.
The water commission bill passed
after a hard fight. Mrs. Edison said
that 20 per cent of our power sites
had been in the hands of private par
ties until this measure became effec-

the minimum wage law in New
Zealand and Australia went into eff
feet in 1896. Three years ago this
law was enacted in England, only
three industries, however, coming un-
der its jurisdiction. In the United
States the enaction of this law was
agitated by the Consumers League.
By the enactment of the redlight
abatement bill it is hoped to abolish
commercialized prostitution and the
exploitation of women. The law,

TRUSTEES PLAN
NEW PAVING

After a postponement on two oc'
casions, the city trustees met last
night in regular session. In addition
to the routine business several new
ordinances were adopted and plans
are under way for the passage Of Il
number Of others.
Plans were discussed for the pur-
chase of another street sprinkler and,
although no definite action has yet
Leen taken, it is understood the mat
ter will be settled at the next meet
ing.
Concerning the distribution of hand
bills here the trustees have instruc-
ed City Attorney Larew to frame an
ordinance governing the matter. Ow-
ing to the frequency and haphazard
manner in which the bills are dis
tributed the street cleaning depart
ment has been unable to cope with
the situation, as the streets become
cluttered almost as soon as they have
been swept.
Of late there have been numerous
complaints from citizens residing in
districts where feed yards are main
tained, arising from the unsanitary
manner in which these places are con-
Quoted. To define the territory in
which such establishments may op-
crate is the text of an ordinance which
will come up for consideration at the
next regular meeting.
Plans for the revision of the occu-
patton license ordinance are under
way, as at present there are num-
ber Of business houses in El Centre
which are not contributing a quar-
terly donation to the city, on the
grounds that their business does not
come under the classification included
in the ordinance.
At a previous meeting resolutions
for the paving of State street between
Seventh and Eighth were passed and
at last nights meeting it was de-
cided to call for bids on the work.
To become effective December 2,
the city trustees will meet on the
second and fourth Wednesday of each
