TARRYTOWN, N. Y, June Eff
John d. Rockefeller's oily and de-

demonstration at Tarrytown, there
was not the slfghte\. indication OF it
today when eleven alleged disturbers,
ten men and one woman, were hauled
before Judge Moorehouse, the vii

until June IL. Primed to encounter
the detonations of anarchists bombs
and cracks of pistols, went to Tar
rytown today to see the desperadoes
before the cour.. They were there.
They may have been desperades, but
they didn't look It, The most Of them
were runts. Only one full grown, full

Cornell, the only man Of Saxon blood
OF those arrested because he had too
much to say. The others. except for
Arthur Caron, their leader, and
Becky Edelson, the woman, could
barely speak English. All told, they
were as inoffensive crowd as you
iconld see. rather dull. rather, sub.

like menace to even a peanut stand.
The simple truth is that the whole
affair looked like temres. in tea.
pot The only conceivable reason
why the free speechers nave been ar

might wake up the town. Ordinarily

Williams also received the text of
a telegram which Huerta sent to Cen
eral Villa In reply to one from the
rebel leader, threatening him with
death. The dictator's message was OF
Spartan brevity, reading merely:
The world is looking towards u.s.

Elaborate preparations are being
made at Mexico City for the consti-
tutional election July 5. at which time
the republic will once again go
through the motions of electing
president. Huerta has ordered
house to house canvass to warn all
citizens of voting age that they must
register their choice at the polls, or
suffer imprisonment
In addition he has hit upon the
novel scheme of having ali letters
ing to all voters:
You must comply with the law on
July s.. Letters arriving here from
federal cities ali show this mark in

Messages from the capital city say
that gossip still persists there, de-

upon here, then 1t rests with the
United States to support tkis govern

| The statement of Senior Rabasa de

does not mean that General Huerta
demands the material pacification OF
the country nor the dispersal OF the

0yerrun many parts Of it. making rev.
Olutions pretext for their lawless-
ness; but that peace shall be assured
by political means which will guaran-
tee for the nation that maintenance
OF law and order which is indefensible
to the exercise Of constitutional func-
tions. The object in view Is peace.
The condition is that that object shall
have been achieved. An agreement
resulting in that end, as well as ful-
filled by it, as by any other means.
The A. B. c.. mediators have no 9th
er responsibility than to conduct ne
gotiations here toward peaceful
agreement. After the settlement is
made; how. it will work is another
matter and the United States will be
morally bound to support any plan OF
government that might be agreed up
on. 1t is for this reason it is under
stood that no haste has been mani
tested in Washington to accept terms
In SO far as they progressed. In the
position of the constitutionalists is
still the key to the situation. After
week of merely marking time, the
American delegates held conference
with the mediators today. 1t was
only OF 45 minutes duration, however,
and nothing OF any great Importance
is believed to have been accepted.
The United Press despatch from
stating that Carranza was
willing to be represented in the con-
ferences here and that the entire
question Of constitutionalist parties
patton might be settled within forty q
eight hours, aroused the greatest In.
terest this aftefnoon. Ambassador
Naon was greatly pleased with the
news and Immediately read the des-
patch to Ambassador Degana. Lamar
and Lehman also clearly showed
their pleasure at the statements Of
Judge Douglas. All agreed the news
rom washington was very encourag-
ing.
Although there was absolute strain
Turing the week while word was being
awaited from Washington. the
and those connected
with the peace parleys appeared more
optimistic tonight. Another conference
between the mediators and the Amer |
cans has been set for Monday at IL !
