 lted ton orrow.
 1t the hotel Biltmore this af'er-
 n, the adjourned conference of
 h-American representatives agreed
 n a joint note which will be dis
 caed before sundown to all the
 tions in Mexico, urging them to
 hpose their differences and agree
 bn stable government.
 This action was taken in the face
 a warning issued by first chief"
 Franza to all the nations partici-
 ling in the conference, that he

 ence with the sovereignty of
 kico.

 eftain, and there was general
 derstanding that the plans agreed
 pn can only be put through by the E of force.
