RESTRICTION OFFICIALS
ARE STILL HOPEFUL
Bryan Declares That Progress of Me-
 diation Is Satisfactory.

Washington, June 21.-Washington officials tonight expressed confidence thaS Mexican mediation at Niagara Falls would continue for some time and intimauons were given that there might be developments in the internal 21exfcan situation soon to open the way for an agreement upon terms of peace.
 Secretary Bryan had short tele- phonic conversation with the Amer ican delegates at Niagara Falls dur ing the day. He would make no an- nouncement concerning it, however, but again reiterated his insistence that the progress of mediation was sat isfactorya1 1 The secretary of state ap- peared interested in the report that General Villa had attacked Zacatecas and that some of the outpost posi- tions had been captured by the con- stitutionalist forces. When informed of the report that General Obregon was about to attack Guadalajara, MT. Bryan remarked: 'Ts that so."
 That the representatives of General Carranza in Washington, principally Rafael Zubaran and Luis Cabrera, had not been entirely satisfactory either to General CarTanza or General Villa in their handling of negotiations with the Washington government was as- serted here tonight. The report that Fernando Calderon, who has been in conference with General Carranza at SaltiIlo, had left for Washington was taken as an indication that Ca1deron would take charge of the constitution ahsts interests here.

NINE LIVES LOST WHEN
 AERoPLANE HITS AIRsHIP.
Collision Occurred During Austrian
 Army Maneuvers-

Vienna, June 21.-Nine terribly burn ed and mutilated bodies. the splintered fragments of an aeroplane and the charred remnants of a big dirigible balloon are the mute records of one of the most tragic. certainly the most sensational, of disasters which has oc- cured since men learned to fly.
 The catastrophe, which resulted in the death of all concerned, followed a mimic attack by the aeroplane on the dirigible at great height during the Austrian army manoeuvres, and it serves to show, more than any previ- ous accidents to flying machines have done, the horrors that would be likely to attend aerial warwafe.
 The dirigible military balloon Koert- ling left Ffschemend, a market town eleven miles from Vienna, at o'clock yesterday morning. She was manned by Captain Johann Hauswirth, in com mand; Lieutenant Ernest Hofstetter, Lieutenant Bruer, Lieutenant Haidin- ger, Corporal Hadima, Corporal Weber and Engineer Kammerer.
 At the elapse of half an hour a mili- tary aeroplane of the bfplane type, with Lieutenant Fiatz and Lieutenant Hoosta aboard, started in pursuit. It was tho intention of Captain Haus- wirth to take photographs of the move ments of the troops below and then to join in the maneouvres. At the same time he was to keep out of range of any of the mosquito craft which might seek to attack him.

ANGELES NOT PROCLAIMED
 PROVISIONAL PRESIDENT.
Villa AIss Denies That He Executed
 General Chao.

Torreon Mexico, June 21-Rumors that General Angeles had been pro- claimed provisional president by Gen. eral Villa and that General Chao had been executed were denied today by General Villa As soon as the reports reached his headquarters, General Villa said that he had heard nothing of General Angeles dismissal from Car ranza's cabinet, as reported from Sal tfllo. Chao was seen here two days ago as he was about to entrain his troops to move against Zacatecas. Angeles has been near Zacatecas with the artillery brigade for the last four days. The reports that Angeles had been made provisional president wA received at headquarters here with surprise.
 The story that I executed General Chao is malicious ne," said General Villa General Chao is with the ti- vision of the north at Zacatecas and lar from dead Two days ago be was a guest at my house and the two of us parted on the best of terms.

OUR PEOPLE LACKING
 IN RELIGIOUS ARDoR.
Says Speaker at Northern Baptist
 Convention at Boston.

Boston. June 21.-'Large bodies of our people feel no religious ardor for anything unconnected with the church," said Prof. Walter Rauschen- busch of Rochester, N T., in an ad- dress before the Northern Baptist con- vention today. 'The Bible is law book rather than a power of enamel patton to them," he continued. Many look askance at social service, just as a former generation looked askance at a college education. The prevalence of these ciews in our denomination is the chief cause for the apathy of the rank and file toward issues which would have filled Amos and Isaiah with the flaming fire of Gods word.
 Another cause that flinders Bap- lists from exerting their full social ef- fciency is the exposed position of our ministry. A Catholic priest is a DOW erfui parsonage when he faces his lay men: an Episcopal or Methodist min- ister has a clerical organization and Episcopal authority back of him; Baptist minister has nothing but him. self, and when few heavy supporters of the church resent his discussion of modern moral questions. they can soft pedal him or drive him out"

Nearly DevOured
 by Trained Lions
MANS BODY RECOVERED WITH
 AID OF PIKE.
ONE TRIED TO SAVE HIM
Theatrical Manager Was Attacked When He Entered Den at Chicago One Jumped on His Back and Four Others Then Leaped on Him.

Chicago, June 21.-Emerson D. Dietrich, Brooklyn manager of a the atrical production presenting a troupe of trained lions. was killed and partly devoured tonight by six lions when he entered the car in which they were caged.
 While the keepers were trying to re- cover Dietrich's body from the beasts and terrorized residents of the thickly populated quarter in which the car stood.
 The escaped lion finally was driven back to its car, having harmed no one.
 A pike pole from the fire depart ment finally was used to withdraw Dietrich's body from the lions. after 1t had been sprinkled with formadlehyde to drive the animals away.
 Neck Broken at Once.
 George McCord. keeper of the lions, was unable to help Dietrich.
 When he went into the den," Mo Cord said, Teddy. the leader of the attack against Dietrich, began to play with him, and he told the beast to get down. Four of the lions were facing him. Finally Teddy slunk around be- hind him and in a minute was on his back. Four others leaped for him a moment later. and I think his neck was broken at once.
 'Trilby, the oldest of the lions, tried to save him. but the others pushed her away and she quit and watched them without joining in the attack"
 The lions were owned by Madame Adgte Castillo. to whom Dietrich was engaged to be married. She said she had formerly taken care of the anil mals herself and that none of them ever before had given indications of being vicious. She attributed the att tack to the fact that the car was dark when Dietrich entered
 Policemen armed with rifles guard ed the car tonight.
 The lions had become greatly excited and kept up an incessant roaring, which attracted great crowd The car in which they were kept was an ordinary box car in the ends of which steel cages had been built reaching within few feet of the top of the car, leaving a passageway about two feet wide between them In one cage were the six older lions and in the other four younger ones
 Body Recovered With Difficulty.
 A score of policemen and members of a fire company were needed to with draw Dietrich's body from the sage. After the disinfectant had been thrown into the den. the animals made repeat ed plunges at the bars. just outside of which the rescuers were working.
 With the aid of the pike pole, a rope was dropped around the body, but the interference of the lions prevented the rescuers lifting the corpse over the bars. Finally the pike pole caught a belt worn by Dietrich and the body was recovered
 The lions have been used in hum dreds of performances, according to Madame Castillo. five or six of them being liberated on the stage together to perform under her direction.
 She always has controlled them, using only short whip.

At present the convict ed men are at liberty on bail, but un- less the president intervenes they must go to jail Thursday.

 The president for the last week has been carefully considering voluminous records in the case with the view to reaching decision before Thursday He has been earnestly urged by friends of the convicted men to pacs don them. but up to the present has given no indication of how he will decide.
