CARRANzAFA IS DIVIDED OVER
 MEDIATION ISSUE
Question of Broadening the Scope of Conference Cause of Considerable Specu-
 latiOn in Washington

Washington sstay % q 1she Mexican ne-
 gotiations at Niagara Falls received the
 earnest attention of administration, off
 cals throughout the day, Several ex- changes occurred between the America n
 delegates and officials here. and the situation was reviewed at the cabinet
 meeting. after which further advices went
 forward to the American delegates.
 Coincident with these exchanges there
 were freeisnt expressions of the view in
 administration quarters that the consti-
 tutionalist element should be brought into
 the mediation proceedings. It has become
 evident that this question of constitution alist participation has brought about di-
 vided counsels among the constitution alists.
 Some desire participation at least to the extent of having a representative at Niagara Falls to give information, as It has been stated they will Others still maintain that their best course is to withhold entirely from the proceedings. Whether this division will upset plans for sending a spokesman to the media : tors. or will give way before the strong desire of the administration to have the constitutionaiists represented is not clear. 1t was said today the matter had not been passed on finally by General Car yanza f-.sfFtt

LEADERS CONFIDENT TOLLS BILL WILL BE
 DISPOSED Of SOON
Prospects for Success of Arbitration Amendment Dimmed-OppOnents
 Present Case

Washineton. May 22.-Democratic leaders in the Senate were confident tonight that the Panama canal tolls ex- emption repeal bill and the arbitration week. Senator Kern. majority leader.
 said vote would be taken May 2S or shortly afterward; and added that the repeal bin would be passed by ma jority of at least 10.
 Prospects for the success of an arbi- tration amendment are acknowledged to liave been dinlnaed by. the speeches Of the last two days. The administration is said to center it's support on the amendment proposed by Senator Sim mons. declaring that the United States valves no rights over the Panama ca nal Many others of similar purport but differing in terms have been sub- mitted.
 Senator simmons returned to the Sen ate today after short illness. He took up the fight for repeal at once, and will direct the administration forces until the vote is taken. He will speak for re-
 peal carly next week.
 Opponents Speak Senators Chamberlain and Borah, both opponents of the repeal bill spoke today in the Senate The latter attacked the argument yesterday of Senator Root, that. if the nation violates the , Hay -Pauncefote treaty, it impairs its | agreement with the republic of Panama
 and impeaches its title to the canal gained from that country He said that the final verdict in the matter of tolls
 controversy would be written by the
 highest tribunal--the people-and he warned the Senate that if the repeal is once passed by Congress the United States would be in "a position from
 which it never could recede.
 If we waive the right to pass our ships through the Panama canal said the senator, q believe that as the years go on Great Britain practically will 1 control the vast commerce that ought tc | belong to this nation. It is not a ques-
 ton of subsidy of transcontinental rail
 roads, but question that affects the
 entire people,
 Borah's Argument 1 Senator Borah declared that the case
 made out for repeal yesterday by Sena- tor Root was based on the idea that the United States holds conditional i title to the Panama canal and that II lit violates the Hay-Pauncefote treaty | it impairs it's title He denied that there
 were any conditions in the grant from Panama other than that the territory should be used for canal.
 When we paid s10,0U0o00 to Panama, | said Senator Borah title for the cana zone became as absolute in the United l States as title to Alaska or the District of Columbia long as we use it for a ! canal
 Why he said. lis 1t that every tech nicality is being brought into use agains
 the United States? It is enough to con
 cede what the plain terms of the treaty concede, without going abroad to searcl
 for technicalities for the purpose of using
 them against the interests of our own peo- -~>>>~r>>~>-~~>--~~>~~~

FIVE BALLOTS ARE
 TAKEN BY JURY IN
 DECIDING HIS FATE
Doomed Man Quails as Fore man Reads Verdict, But Does Not Lose Control.
 Will Make an Appeal

New York, May 22.-Twelye men today for the second time decided that Charles Becker was the arch-conspira- tor responsible for the Rosenthal murder, which nearly two years ago awoke New York to realization of corruption in the police department and opened a new era of police reform.
 Becker, once police lieutenant, was found guilty of murder in the first degree. Only pardon or interfer- ence again by the court of appeals can save him from following to the electric chair the four gunmen who shot Herman Rosenthal, the gambler, early on the morning of July 16, |1912. The jury today decided that the gunmen were Becker's agents.
 Tears streamed down the foreman $ face as he announced the devsion land tears stood in the eyes of sew eral other jurors. They had agreed that the oorroboration which the district at |torney failed to present at the first trial Ito support the stories of Rose, Vallon land Webber, the three accomplices who turned informers. had been furnished by |new witnesses at the second.
