Americans Trying to Get Rebels in Harmony
 With Proceedings

Niagara Falls, June 16.-Justice La mar and Frederick w. Lehman, the American delegates to the mediation conference, went to Buffalo today and talked for four hours with Rafael Zu- baran and Luis Cabrera, personal rep resentatives of General Carranza Their purpose was to find some way to bring the constitutionalists lin harmony with the scope of mediation. The mission was a failure
 The constitutionalist representatives who had come from Washington espe- cially to see the American delegates an armstice; why only a man prom inent in the constitutionalist ranks could be accepted by them for the pro- visional presidency and finally they said they believed the constitutionalist army would settle the Mexican prob : lem soon if left unhampered by for eign complications.
 The Americans returned to Niagara Falls feeling that, so far as the po- litcal justification of Mexico is con cerned, mediation had accomplished
 
 conferences was very near.
 Conference Friday
 The next full conference is set for Friday. Until then little will be done because of the absence of Minister Naon of Argentina
 Most of the principals here incline to the view that Fridays session may be the last. The three mediation pleni- potentiaries virtually have abandoned hope of solving Mexicos internal prob lems. The Huerta delegates are reso- lute in their determination not to ac- cept constitutional partisan for the provisional presidency and there ap- pears no feasible way of keeping all elements in conference much longer only developments not now foreseen such as a change of attitude on the part of the constitutionalists or of the Huerta delegates can keep the con ference in session.
 Dispatches of the forcible seizure by Villa official of the telegraph of flee at Juarez held previously by Car ranza officials. created a stir in the Mexican mediation colony. The Huerta delegates said it plainly showed the correctness of their repeated warnings that a lack of cohesion in the consti- tutionalist ranks would lead to an- dfcny III the north. lne news served also to confirm suspicious current in many Quarters here of a breach be- tween Villa and Carranza. Incidentally it is understood the American dele gates inquired of Cabrera and Zubaran what they thought of the stories of a split between Villa and Carranza. The constitutionalist emissaries said they had confidence in General Carranza' S tact and ability to smooth out such difficulties.
 The gravest apprehension, neverthe- less, is felt here of what may follow a break between Carranza and Villa, Should their forces clash a condition of anarchy might ensue which, in all probability, would arouse again the de- mand for armed intervention by the United States.

ident Wilson and the Montana dele gation in Congress tonight, which read
 There is no condition in. Butte at the present time that necessitates or will justify the bringing in of troops. No property interests are menaced and the authorities of the city feel they have matters we'll in hand.
 The recent disturbances cannot be attributed to responsible members of either faction of the miners union and the responsible elements of both fac tions have organized for the purpose of preventing further disturb bances and aiding the city authorities in pre- serving peace
 q am meeting with success in bring ing about cooperation with both fac tons and am sanguine that basis of agreement can be reached. Under the circumstances to bring troops of any sort, whether state or regulars, would be little less than a crime, and only could be suggested and desired by per sons interested in keeping alive bad feeling"

SPRE|GHT-- T--MULKEY CASE BEFORE STATE
 COMMITTEE TODAY
Full Attendance Probably Will Review the Third District Congress
 siOnal Scandal

Montgomery. June )-The advance guard of the. democratic stat. executive committee arrived in Montgom. cry tonight and with the arrival of the remaining members, it Is believed that Q full meeting will be held when the actior of the Third district congressional com mittee in naming J. J. Speight as the nominee for Congress in that district is reviewed by the state committee tomor- row.
 Mr. Speight was recently nominated by the district committee to run in the spe- cial election of June g for the position sof congressman from the Third dfstrset to fill the unexpired term of Henry D. Clayton. The action of the committee was protested by w. O. Mulkey of Ge. neva. who wants to run for the place and he appealed to the state committee for permission to run.
 Both Represented
 Both the Speight and Mulkey factions are well represented. Mir. Speight mas retained Charles Mcdowell, Jr, of Eu- faula. and Reed Barnes of Opelika as his attorneys and will make a vigorous fight to have the action of the Third dis tiltl tOinllilltt SuSldlutu u IS uDueI stood that MT. Mulkey also has counsel to represent him. Both Mfr. Speight and MT. Mulkey are in Montgomery.
 It was stated tonight in the lobby of the Exchange hotel that a movement will be started tomorrow to have the committee ratify the action of the Third district committee in the Speight case, but to adopt a rule that will preclude the nomination of candidates by district committees in the future. It was argued that in view of the action of the Eighth district committee in naming c. C. Har- ris for Congress to succeed the late Judge William Richardson and in view of other precedents that the state committee can not do otherwise than ratify the action of the Third district committed There are many who declared that they will vote to ratify the action of the district committee, but who believes that a rule should be adopted by the state commit tee, which will prevent the nomina tions of candidates by the state or district committee except under certain prescrib- ed conditions.
 General Bibb Graves, chairman of the committee, stated that the meeting will be held tomorrow in the city council chamber instead of in the dining room of the Exchange hotel as first announced.

Government Waste.

Editor Record: In 1912, in time of
peace, our expenditures for past
and future wars amounted to $780,
900, 900.
This year Congress made the
following appropriations: Child
welfare, $25, 900; Free seeds, $685.
900; Stamp out hog cholera $780,
900; Battle ships Sal ,000,0 Or
for children, 81; Free seeds, $780,;
Hogs SIG; Battle ships, S5,640.
If women voted we believe that
these figures would be changed.
If money now spent for the free
distribution of seeds to those who can
afford to buy them; and most of that
spent preparing for war were used
in good roads, child welfare,
segregation colonies etc., the country
would be richer; as the next
generation would be better mentally
morally and physically.

NEED ONLY CULTIVATE BRAIN
Altogether Unnecessary for successful
Writers to Get Into Perfect
Physical Condition.

James Francis Dwyer, author of
tales of adventure, believes that the
first step toward success in writing
is to let ones muscles get fabby.
Many famous authors have had orig
inal theories as to what helps the
muse. Shelley used to lie on the
hearth rug with his head close to
the blaze; Schiller kept his desk
drawer full of decaying apples; Bal
FAC drank bowls of black coffee; H.
G. Wells is said to believe that the
first essential is to ruin ones diges-
ton. Mr.. Dwyer, however, says the
first thing is to abolish the old bosh
about a sound mind requiring the
body of an expert athlete. 81 used
to be a frst-class amateur prize
fighter" he said. "My muscles were
as hard as iron, and | acted as SPAR
ring partner for the Australian light
weight champion. But / found that
for all my perfect physical trim l
couldn't write half column in the
evenings. | gave up the body cul-
ture and decided to cultivate my
writing instead. So the first thing
to do if you want to be a great
writer is to let your muscles get
habby and grow bay window. Look
at Chesterton.

new HOPE HAS
UNIQUE PARADE
Fourth of July Most Busy Day
in the Borough Across
the Delaware.
MANY FEATURES FURNISHED

AAN AAACON pal ddC III 4NCW
Hopes history and the most inter-
esting Fourth of July exercises ever
held in the borough upon the banks
of the Delaware were combined on
Saturday, when an all-day celebra-
ton was conducted under the direc-
ton of special committee headed
by A. n. Kerr.
The parade covered the principal
streets of the borough, and was led
by party of horsemen dressed as
Colonial soldiers, down to the que"
and all. They presented a most
attractive and novel appearance.
The Citizens Band furnished the
music, and the Sons of Veterans
delegation from C. w. Arnett Camp,
No. 10, of Lambertville were in
line, together with an auto-truck
load of old soldiers.
The Campfire Girls attracted
much attention, and the Red, White
and Blue Girls shared the honors.
The Campfire Girls wore Indian
costumes of brown, with fringed
edges, and wore their hair in braids,
with band containing each of their
names around their heads.
The Red. White and Blue Girls
wore flag dresses and their crowns
were each named for state.
They, together with the Boy
Scouts, in uniform, carried American
flags in profusion.
A delegation of citizens, and an
automobile, highly decorated with
flags and bunting, containing a lot
of Indian" youngsters, and Revs.
S. H. Potter and H. A. Sawyer,
followed.
After completing the march the
paraders returned to the Chautau-
qua lot on North Main Street.
where elaborate exercises were
held.
A handsome American flag was
unfurled from the f1agpole on the
grounds Immediately adjoining the
river bank and plainly visible from
much of New Hope and Lambert
vile. The Sons of Veterans fired
the salute.
Rev. S. H. Potter. pastor of the
Presbyterian Church, made the
opening prayer, from the band
stand, and Rev. H. A. Sawyer of
the M. E. Church, made the address
of the day.
In the meantime, there was
music by the Citizens Band, songs
by the Campfire Girls and by the
Red, White and Blue girls.
Harry S. Kroesen, a we'll known
veteran and G. A. R. officer of
Lambertville, made short address,
referring to the loyalty of the boys
of 81, and his confidence of an equal
loyalty today.
Mr.. Sawyer, in his address, spoke
at some length upon the part that
Pennsylvania had played in history,
both during the Revolution and Re-
bellion. His remarks were listened
to by hundreds of people, and he
received frequent applause.

cises Photographer Robert Parks,
