NIAGARA FALLS, June 20-Just
one month ago today the first of the
Mexican mediation conferences was
held. Probably the last will occur
today. The prediction can not be
made with positiveness because OF
possible developments in Mexico City
and Washington about which the
mediators lack definite information.
Minister Naon, of Argentine, who
is expected to arrive here about 2 p.
m. from Washington, where he con-
ferred with President Wilson, Secre-
tary Bryan and Luis Cabrera, one Of
the representatives of the Constitu-
tionalists, may be bringing some new
plans. This is not considered prob
able, however, as the American dele
gates seemed anxious yesterday to
spread the news that their statement
to the public was final and that a
Constituencies must be selected for
president. 1t is not believed here
that anything Mr.. Naon could say to
the Washington government or rep
resentatives of the Constitutionalists
would change the determination. of
either against the plan to install a
neutral.
Principals TO tho mediation confer
ference will go into the session late
today feeling that there is no. chance
of an agreement and doubling II any
way can be found to prolong the, ne
gotiations. II the three plans are
formally submitted, the Americans
will reject that prepared by the
Mexican delegation and very. sim
liar one presented by the mediatora
The Mextcans will reject the Ameri-
can plan. The mediators will then
ask both delegations if they felt
there was any possibility for change
Of opinion. II deadlock were, con-
fessed, the proceedings automatically
would end.
1t is probable therefore that the
net results of the mediation viii be
the delay Of hostilities between, the
United States and the Huerta govern
ment.
The Mexican delegates here re-
ceived telegram today from the
consul of their government at I'll
Paso, Tex, that Generai Villa had
issued statement addressed to the
AHIeLlCdu people saying InaC ne hao
proclaimed General Angeles as pro-
visional president Of Mexico.
The consul added that according
to interpreted private dispatches at
Juarez reports of an amicable adj
justment Of the differences between
Carranza and Villa were not true.
He also said that word had reached
him that Carranza was quietly send
ing force Of 1000 men into the
state of Sonora with the intention of
deposing Governor Maytorena, with
whom Carranza was reported to have
had differences.

Three Austrians, Said to Be
Members OF Gang of Rob-
berS, Held by Police.

Matt Colish and Sam Bordish, two
Austrians, thought by the police to
be members of a gang that have been
committing daring robberies in sew
eral places in Pennsylvania, were ar
rested on Fourth street, near Traders
alley, by police about 2 o'clock this
afternoon. They are held in the
county Jail pending an investigation.
They are said to be members of a
gang that shot policeman in Clear
water, Pa, recently in running
fight with the police.
They were arrested through we'll
arranged. and perfectly carried out
coup by Chief Brooks. An Italian
boy, who says the two Austrians Of
fered him $40 for every Italian he
brought them to rob, was the stool
pigeon. He says the two men threat
ened to kill him If he told the police.
He claims to have known the men
at Redwood and says they commit
ted several hold-ups there.
In accordance with instruction
from Chief Brooks, the boy had the
men come to Fourth street with him,
telling them that there were two
drunken Italians there, who would
be easy to rob. Immediately upon
their arrival at the appointeS' place,
a squad of police, headed by Chief
Brooks, swooped down upon them
and took them into custody.
No weapons were found on their
persons. However, the Italian boy
says they were both armed this
morning, and that their guns are
now in their room in Glen Elk. Of
ticers viii search the room later in
the day.
John Potridge, the third member
Of the party, was arrested about
o'clock in Glen Elk by Officer L. l..
White. 1t was thought he had left
the city, but he was identified by the
Italian boy as being the third man
in the gang.
Within few minutes after Pot
ridge was brought to headquarters,
an italian identified him as the man
who held up and robbed him Of his
watch in Glen Elk shortly after
noon. Only. q few minutes afterWard,

OPPORTUNITIES FOR.
STATE SAWMILL MEN
AS Shown by the Bureau of In
sular Affairs in Wash
ington City.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 20
West Virginia sawmlll men who have
worked out their timber tracts, or
who for various other reasons may
want to change their locations may
be interested in the opportunities Of
fered to American lumbermen in the
Philippines. The Bureau of Insular
Affairs in Washington has received
general descriptions Of a number Of
tracts OF timber which the government
OF the Philippines is ready to lease in
areas Of from thirty-ive to 300 square
miles, while one or two tracts Of even
larger size are obtainable.
The markets for Philippine lumber
are principally in the Orient and 1t is
stated by the Bureau Of Insular Affairs
that there is much larger market
there than the current production can
NIL. The director of forestry at Man
liza has estimated that three hundred
million board feet OF lumber year
could easily be marketed outside the
Philippine Islands, while the quantity
exported in 1918 was less than ten
million feet. The great need in the
field is said to be capital sufficient to
put in equipment capable Of handling
the large hardwood logs and to permit
the proper seasoning of the product
It is said there are two hundred bill
lion board feet of valuable hardwoods
standing in the public forests of the
Philippines awaiting American capital
and industry to market them.
The small tracts are handled under
one year leases, but the large ones are
operated under concessions as the
twenty-year exclusive leases are
called. Tile four trees-lauan. api-
tong, quito and yacal-consttute the
main output.

LETHBRIDGE, Alberta, June 20
After recovering twenty charred
bodies at 9 o'clock this morning, res
cuers were driven from their work
by fire at mine No. 20 of the Hillcrest
] Alberta Galleries, Ltd, where q
great explosion yesterday wrecked
the underground property and is be-
lieved to have killed 1877 men.
Among the bodies recovered were
those of James Quigley. mine super
intendent, and Thomas Taylor, fire
boss. Mine experts believe that most
of the men were entombed about ], :
200 feet from the pit mouth. But
tons of rock, broken timbers and
other debris are heaped in the en-
frances and it seemed probable that
many OF the bodies will not be recov-
cred for several days.
Exploration by rescuers early to-
day indicated that the miners had no
warning OF death as several bodies
were found standing nearly erect
with picks and other mining tools in
hand, pinned to walls by timbers or
rocks.
