 ern Countries.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-The dele gates here to the Pan-American Finan cial Conference have decided to tour the South American countries within six months. It is expected that the visits of the various bankers and gov ernment agents to the different re publics will be of great value in bringing the different Pan-American countries into closer relations and also build up large business between the South American countries and , the United States.
 Administration officials hope that the money center of North and South America can be transferred from London to New York and that all clearing will be done through Amer ican banks. This condition has been brought about by the war in Europe and it is hoped that bankers in the United States may be able to hold the advantages the war has temporar fly given them.

Five Mexicans About To Be Hung When Board of Pardons Acts
 At Bryan's Request.

FLORENCE, Ariz., May 29.-While the five Mexican murderers condemn, ed to die were strapped to boards and the sheriff was about to have them hung reprieve arrived from the State Board of Pardons granting the men nine weeks more in which to live.
 The Board of Pardons acted only when Secretary of State w. J. Bry- an informed them that the execution of the Mexicans in face of the pro- test of General Villa would result in endangering the lives of many Ameri, cans still in Mexico.
 With the Mexican situation in a critical condition Secretary Bryan was very anxious that nothing should be done to make conditions worse and he exerted considerable pressure to have the reprieve granted.
 Governor Hunt and those opposed to capital punishment will start at once a campaign to have law pass ed which will do away with hangings in the state.

 The commander of the steamer sent a wireless asking for aid from the navy but no torpedo boats were able to reach the scene in time to pre- Aeent the sinking. Trawlers picked up the crew and brought them to shore.

 Calls Attention To British Acts.
 The note calls the attention of the American government to the fact that the British orders in council were ef- fective last January and that since that time all neutral ships which have endeavored to reach German ports or neutral ports near Germany have been stopped and held by the British, although the ships did not have contraband of war aboard and the German government had offered to allow the American minister to control the foods brought in on neu-

WASHINGTON, May 29.-President Wilson late yesterday afternoon sent to all the commanders of factions in Mexico, including the various provis- ional presidents, stern note inform ing the leaders that the patience of the United States was exhausted and that conditions in the Mexican repub- lie were intolerable and must change at once or the United States govern ment would take steps to stop the fighting and establish a stable govern ment in Mexico.
 Note Causes Surprise.
 The note came like bomb to the politicians in the city. While it has been realized that conditions have been growing worse in Mexico, it was not expected that the president would send an ultimatum to the various factions which, if not complied with, will mean intervention in Mexico. It is known now that President Wilson is determined to end the insufferab ble and unbearable condition which has been growing steadily worse and which has finally called for some drastic action.

COLD PREVENTS GERMAN ADVANCE
 IN CARPA1HIANS
Russians Assume Defensive After Hard Blow Received
 at Drobin.

Pettrograd, March 13.-In the plains around Przasnysz, the Russians enjoy an immense advantage, which is em- phasized by the inability of the Ger mans, owing to the intense cold at night, to advance. except under the rays of the sun. y
 Terrible losses sustained there probably explain General von Hinden. berg's attempt at a deeper enveloping movement A furious artillery fire is kept up by the Germans.
 West of Przasnysz, from the direc- ton of Sierpec, the Russians appear to have assumed the defensive since they received a. hard blow at Drobin, in an attempt to move southward on Bcdganow. t.4
 Apparently, the Russians are in strong force on the right bank of the Vistula The Germans on this flank doubtless are awaiting the result of the movement on PrZasnysz before attempting anc ther blow.
 The engagement in the region of Simno, reported in an official mes- sage, was due to the fact that at this point the German dispositions were in the form of an angle deeply jutting into Russian territory on the Merriam po-Augustowo front. This action was precipitated by the Germans in order to stiffen the resistance of the right flank at AuguStOWO,
