houses and lots security the fight" said
Bucsko last night 1.-THE truth of the matter is that
only got wire from Jack this morning telling his
price. Shanklin got 'eold feet because he
WINGED that Lester would whip Joe Bonds. and he
broke off negotiations abruptly before learning any
thing of Testers price,"
Testers telegram announced that he would come
to Tacoma and box anybody in his class for flat
sum of $500, win lose, that he would accept 25
per cent gross receipts and railroad tickets The per-
centage on a full house would be $40

Here is the latest, simplest

There are two essential phases
to the rescue of a drowning man.
The first Is getting him out of

Then push his body upward with

as TO tow the body horizontally.

MEDIATION WILL
PROBABLY FAIL
Differences of Opinion Have Arisen
Which Imperil Continu-
ance of the Media
tion Conference

Niagara Falls Ont, June 10.-Dif-
ferences of opinion so serious that
they imperil the continuance of the
conferences have developed between
the American deligats and the media
tors. On two vital points there is n
flat disagreement First, the media
tors representing the Mexican view
point insist that the new provisional
president shall be neutral but shall
not have been an active partizan of
the rebel cause. The American deli
gates have stated emphatically that
unless the choice falls on a man of
distinct constitutionalist sympathies
not necessarily military chief but
one who would command their conf
dence, there is no hope of the con-
stitutionalists accepting any peace
proposals adopted here.
Second, the United States govern
ment is determined that the method
of transition from the present regime
to the new government shall not be
Trough appointment by General Hu-
erta as minister of foreign affairs of
the man agreed on for provisional
president to permit him to exercise
the constitutional function of naming
his successor according to the American
viewpoint will be equivalent to recog-
milton of the Huerta government.
This view is opposed by the mediators
who argue that inasmuch as the

world will know the mediation con-
ference had selected the next provis-
ional president, the form of success
sion is unimportant.
They ask the question which is the
.rreater sacrifice. for General Huerta
to name a minister of foreign affairs
whose political principals are not in
accord with his own and then have
the latter almost Immediately succeed
him as president or for the Unite |
States to yield on the technicality as
to the manner in which the transfer
shall be made The mediators were
occupied today with a discussion of
these points among themselves. They
did not confer with either the Ameri-
can or Mexican delegates. The med
iators let it be known that they are
anxious that the new provisional
president be a neutral and if possible
a man who has not been identified
with any political faction in Mexico.
The United States had taken firm
position that there can be little pros
pect of peaceful settlement unless
the mediators recognize the military
conquests of the rebels and take into
consideration the probability that the
rebels will soon enter Mexico City.
No names have been suggested for
the provis. .onal presidency but in ar
guing about tie type of man for the
post the American delegates have TAX

there would be little chance of paci-
fying all the clements in the party

commar1ed the absolute confidence of
