Paris, Dec. 3-The American dele gation to the Peace Conference, with the greater part of the personnel of the mission, will sail for the United States from Brest next week.s The precise date of the departure has not been fixed.

 The understanding here, from the best obtainable information, is that if none of the delegates is left here, Ambassador Wallace will be given such powers as will make the Aneri- can participation in the subsequent work of the peace conference. quite as effective as if the delegates were to remain.
 At the State Department in Wash ington yesterday it was indicated that present plans were that the entire American delegation would leave Paris on December g, leaving with Am mbassador Wallace the task of clos ing up any affairs remaining unset tied.

 DEATH PENALTY
 AT WETHERSFIELD

Nikifor Nechusnuk was hanged at the Connecticut State Prison shortly after midnight this morning. Before he died he made a partial confession to his attorney. The condemned man two hours before the hanging, told his lawyer, "Oh, what's the use of saying more about it. It's no use."
 Nechusnuk was found guilty of mur- dering Feodore Torrant of Waterbury last April, having lured Torrant into the woods and beaten him over the head with a hatchet. Robbery was the motive for the crime, and throughout his trial, and since his inn prisonment, Nechusnuk maintained his innocence until his partial con- fession," last night.
 Nechhsnuk died 9A minutes after the trap was sprung.
 He was calm and made no outcry. Upon entering the death house, he said "hello'' to his lawyer, Mayor Sandland of Waterbury, and others who were present to witness the exc CutiOn,

Mexico City, Dec. 2-The solution of difficulties arising out of interna- tiOnal affarS with the United States was entrusted to President Carranza without legislative intrusion by the Senate at a secret session held to- day Relations with the United States were declared during the ses- sion as being very delicate"
 Washington, Dec. 3-State Depart ment officials were marking time today awaiting word from Mexico City of the off -iaI delivery of the attest Amer ican note to the Mexican government and the subsequent action inspired by it. The message was garbled in trans mission and this delayed it's presenta- ton to President Carranza.
 In some quarters it was believed that Carranza would order the release of Jenkins soon after receiving the message and prevent a complete break between his government and the United States.
 Private adv:ces from Mexico indi- cated that some of the Mexican off, ctals were not taking the negotiations seriously and felt that it Involved only an interchange of diplomatic notes and would result amicably
 A different attitude was evident al the State Department, however. where the situation was being considered graVely. Should Carranza continue to hold out against the American gov ernment's request to release American Consular Agent Jenkins without de- lay, pressure was expected to be brought which would force Mexico to acCede to the demands.

WILL USE NEW MAP IN
 WORLD FLIGHT
Butterfly" Map Devised By E. J. Cahill Will Be
 Guide.

San Francisco, Cal. Dec. S.-FIyers in the proposed 1920 worId-girdlng air derby will not travel by Merca- tors projection but by a new ''bp' terfly' map devised by B. J. s. Ca hill, of Oakland, Cal, which has just been adopted by Major Charles J. GIidden, executive secretary of the Aerial Derby Commission, now on his way to the Far East and who gave the map his approval before leaving here.
 MT. Cahill, who is the originator of San Francisco's $12,000,OO0 "civic center plan, said that an aviator using the Mercator projection as guide, would go 1000 miles out of his way in a trip from Panama to Yoko- hama. If the North Pole were on an island a mile wide,' he said, Git would appear on Mercator's proiec ton to be 25,000 miles wide, or nearly the total circumfereice of the earth at the equator
 The inventor of the new map, who worked on his drawings fifteen years, said that ''an impartial and rational world geography is essential to world peace" He said that Mercator's pro- jection, which was originally devised by the Belgian cartographer as d guide for navigators, distorted and exaggerated the earth as 1t receded from the equator" This. for instance, made it appear as if South America were much smaller than North America when, as a matter of fact, he said, they were about the same area.
 The Cahill map is as though an actual sphere had been cut and flat tened, its appearance somewhat re- sembling wings of a butterfly.
 lZ=y7 1Ir on the map may. easily, Mr. Cahill says. develop a, sort of geographical ''big business inducing an overbear- ing diplomacy. A nation whose ter ritory is so unduly exaggerated on the maps in common use may well come to exaggerate its resources, its eco homie strength and even it's virtues and so create an atmosphere anything but conductive to mutual good will and consequent world peace.
 All problems of ntercommunication by sea, land or air are baHling and misleading on Mercator's chart, says MT. Cahnl, but simple and obvious on the butterfly map, a further aid to mutual knowledge and under standing.
 'Internationalisn, now a sporadic and occasional thing, but destined in the fuure to be the keynote of all hu- man endeavor, plays an important part in the science of statistics and meteoroIogy," said MT. Cahill. "Gra- sphical statistics are seIf-contradictory and 1udicrous on Mercator's chart and as for indicating the progress of high and low pressure rings in weather charts, the ever changing scale on Merca tors was simply beWildering to the forecaster who had to use them. f,TT -I their, true proportion and form, he de- clares, would help materially in solv- ing peacefully problems dealing with the world as a whole.
