NIAGARA FALLS, Ont, June 10
Beginning of the fourth week of the
Mexican mediation conferences today
found the main question at issue:
tha. of how far the United States
would go in demanding that the pro-
visional government In Mexico be
prof. -Carranza. Men so far suggested
by the American delegates. said to be
of the type Of Iglesias Caldron, Luis
Cabrera and Jose Vasconcelos, are
not acceptable to the Huerta dele
gates. They desire provisional pres
ident further removed from associa-
tion with Carranza. 1t Is admitted
that Mexican OF an entire neutral
point of view can hardly be found. 1t
is believed the Mexican delegates
have agreed to accept any reasonable
"selsction" as president. Carranza's
views as indicated to ths mediators
by the American delegates, are that
his party shall furnish the provisional
executive. The mediators ars under
stood to hold that man OF constitu-
tionalist sympathy but not an actual
leader In the revolt should be named.
Turn Names Down.
WASHINGTON June 15.--Upon the
ability OF ths mediators at Niagaras
Falls and the Americans and Huer-
tista commissioners to agree on a
provisional president OF Mexico,
hinges the complete success OF media
tion. Up to the present, names sug.
gested by Americans have been quick
ly turned down. The Huerta dele
gates explain that they cannot be
expected to accept anyone who was
an active party to the revolution. The
state department still believes that 1t
will be possible to reach a choice.
The injection into the Mexican situa-
tion Of Chas. A. Towne Is not ex-
pected materially to change condi-
tions although Towne Is very friendly
to Secretary Bryan and an almost
inseperable companion Of Secretary
Tumulty Towne, as Huerta's attor-
ney says he will try to see President
Wilson to urge that the dictator be
p.rmitted a voice in the naming of
his own successor.
Consul Miller at Tampico notified
the state department today he had
dispatched a messenger to Lake
Tamiahua to bring back to Tampico
the bodies of Weston Burwell and

weeks ago.
