REBEL LEADERS
TO FIGHT IT OUT
Strongly Opposed 10 the Idea
Of Peace Conferences.
MEOIATORS EXPRESS SURPRISE

constitutionalist Generals Attending
Torreon Powwow Would Not Enter
Into Parleys With Huerta's Repre-
entatiVes-Military Government to
Be Set Up When the Mexican capi-
tai Falls.
Washington. July 9.-Border dis
patches stating that the Constitution
alists would not accept the invitation
of the mediators for informal peace
conferences with representatives Of
General Huerta were partially con
firned here by persons in close touch
with General Carranza Rafael Zu-
barren and Louis Cabrera, the two
most prominent representatives OF
General Carranza, had nothing to say
on the subject, but word that a ma
jority of the Constitutionalist generals
to whom the plan for conferences had
been submitted had disapproved 1t
came from we'll informed sources.
Minister Naon of Argentina, the
only one of the mediators in Washing
ton, read the dispatches with evident
surprise. He indicated that the medi-
atoTs would take no action until the
attitude of the Constitutionalists was
officially conveyed to them.
Secretary Bryan on behalf Of the
Washington government said it would
be improper for him to discuss the
situation In advance of the arrival of
CarFanEa's formal answer to the pend
ing proposal for peace conferences.
He declined to reveal what intima'
tions he had received as to the char
acter Of the reply.
That the Constitutionalist leaders
strongly opposed the idea of peace
conferences, although all the generals
have not been heard from, did not sur
prise those officials who have main
tanned that it would be virtually inn
possible to modify the plan of Guada-
lupe, the platform of the Constitution
alist movement. This plan declares
that a military government shall be
set up after Mexico City is conquered,
and no election shall be held until the
country is pacifed by military rule.
The present purpose Of the Consti-
tutionalists, it is understood, is to fol-
low that program to the letter, calling
a conference of generals when the
conquest of Mexico is accomplished.
A new first chief" then may be desig.
mated. 1t is at this stage that the
Carranza-Villa split is really expected
to come to a head, the disaffection
probably leading to an effort to have
Carranza superseded.
Neither the United States nor Ar
gentine, Brazil and Chile would be
able to recognize a military govern
ment, in the opinion of many South
American diplomats.

ANTITRUST BILLS.
MAY Be REVISED.
Wilson Talks with Representa-
lives Of Big Business.
30 II GIVE OUT STATEMENTS

Members Of Chicago Association Of
Commerce Request Modification Of
Details Of Trust Measures Pending
In the senate-HenY Ford and
Other Manufacturers \. the White
House.
Washington, July 9.-Representa-
tives OF big business had long talk
with President Wilson at the White
House about the administrations anti
trust program.
Ten leading members Of the Chicago
Association OF Commerce gave Mr..
Wilson their ideas of a proper trade
commission and railroad securities
bill, and as a result the bills passed
by the house and now pending in the
senate may be modified as to details,
Following the conference, both the
president and the business men gayH
out statements, referring to the cor.
diality of the meeting.
AS a direct result of the discussion
the president telegraphed to Represen.
tative Covington of Maryland, who
framed the house trade commission
bill, asking him to return to Washing
ton to confer with the Chicago delega-
ton. Mr.. Covington has been appoint
ed chief justice of the district su
preme court and was at his Maryland
home.
The Chicago delegation advocated a
trade commission with broad powers
of investigation and authority to order
the discontinuance of practices con
trary to law. They objected to all cor
poratlons returning annual reports to
the commission, and thought so many
definitions of Illegal practices were
unnecessary.
The president listened carefully for
more than an hour to what his callers
had to say and interposed some ideas
of his own on the subject. The ques-
tion Of business prosperity was men
toned in a general way, and after
ward officials close to the president
said he had learned nothing to change
his previously expressed opinion that
conditions are growing better.
President Wilson was particularly
pleased to hear that the delegation
did not object to the proposed com
missions passing on questions of un-
fair competition and practices.
Speaking on the labor exemption
clause of the Clayton bill, the presl-
dent told the business men 1t was in
tended to legalize the existence and
operations of labor unions and similar
organizations as such. The Chicago
men replied that they would approve
Of such a provision If nothing else
were provided.
The Chicago association maintained
among other things that the Sherman
antitrust law should be retained and
not changed.
The president received today Henry
Ford, the millionaire automobile man
ufacturer; a committee of bankers
from Illinois and members of the Ma
tional Association of State Bank Su-
pervisors.

wish to emphatically state that the
Mercer County Fair Board had nothing
whatever to do with the races on the
Fourth on the Fairgrounds. A. c. Wag-
ner and Beam, of Celina, were given
privilege to put on the races. The same
privilege would have been given TO any
citizen of Mercer county. At the time of
the grant of the privilege no one suspec-
ted that such exhorbitant prices would
be charged, and it was not discovered
until too late to prevent.
Judge the races as you may, good or
bad, the credit or censure belongs to
Wagner and Beam, and not to any other
citizen or any member of the Fair Board,
as all paid their seventy-fve cents alike.
