1-i-esf-lon off their willingness to discuss
those Internal affairs *? hlch have led t?*?
Mexico's present ?vmdition.
To this communication the m?diat???
replied \ery briefly, expressing the fear
that (.eneral ?Carranza had not duly
considered the final paragraph in th??lr
t**r?mmunlcatlon of the lid inat. Ttutr
view la that carranza, inspired l?y UM
support of tho United States, is mcrelv
seeking to over-id-? tlia conditions laid
down In- the mediators?an attempt
which thev will ?ontinue to meet with
an emphatic negative.
Aroentm? Minister Absent.
The Minister from Argentina was
obliged to lea\e for Harvard and Tele,
where h? w'l deliver addresses. Me
will return ?n Thuroday. and during
his absence no formal meetings of the
conference will be held. This will not
prevent informal conversations, how?
ever, and if the Americans show any
disposition to carry on the work of me?
diation there will be nothing to pre?
vent.
At the conclusion of to-day's confer
cn?-e Justice I.smsr said.
"We are still dealing with to? eec ? \
piank in the plan. It relatea to the
provisional government, and that In?
evitably leads to discussion of the per
sonnel. Ve discussed at length, but
reached n? conclusion."

reports of agfresslveness on the part of

FEAR CRISIS NEAR
IN PEACE PARLEYS
Washington Officials Admit
a Serious Outlook for
Mediation.
' Tram Th?- Tribune Bureau.1
War-hington, June 15.?With the chances
of Constitutionalist ?anlcipatlon in the
mediation apparently gone, and facing
what is described In some quarters as a
I deadlock between the American and Mex
; ban delegates on the question of Huerta'?
successor, the mediation situation ap?
proaches a crisis, although officials of
the government declare implicit faith in
final success.
Agents of the Constitutionalists here
' declared to-night that if an armistice was
to be a condition of participation, there
was no hope of General Carranza seal?
ing delegates to Niagara Falls. Ths*f
said it would be fatal to the rebel cause
to ?top the advance of th? Constitutional?
ist army.
The United States has t-ubmitted sev?
eral names to the mediators as nominees
to succeed Huerta, but apparently none
of them is satisfactory. A :epresentative
i of the Constitutionalists said to-night that
i neither General Carranza nor any of his
followers had suggested a candidate or
authorized any one. particularly the
' United States, to suggest one for them.
? The Carrauzistas declare that they have
not entered into th? discussion of that
' phase of the situation at all.
VILLA MARKS TIME
TO SPITE HIS CHIEF
Eclipse of Rank Provokes
Delay in Relieving
Rival General.
I By Telegraph to 111? Tribune. ]
Torre?n, Mexico, June 15?To teach Car?
ranza a lesson. General Pancho Villa has
delayed sending reinforcements to Gen?
eral Panfilo Natera nt Zacatecas until
Natera had proved hi? inability to take
. I the Federal stronghold. This charge is
I made covertly here to-night by rebel lead
? j ers, who appear to he pleased with tl.e
I lesson they claim Villa ha.? inculcated,
????ru-ral Nsters's tOTOOm have been
?ruslilngly defeated at Zacatecas. There
appears no doubt about this. Advices
' from th? front to Villa's headquarters
1 ' her? all tell of the rebel failure to pene
? trate th? Federal lines, of heavy rebel
i losses, and of th? loss by Natera of prac?
tically all of the artillery he had tak?n
with him for th? Zacatecas attack.
Villa to-day said h? could not get reln
i forcements to Natera because of wash
I outs on the railroad to Zacatecas. It b?
j charged that ho purposely has delayed
repair work on the railroad until Natera
had attempted to take the city and failed.
Now Villa apparently is making ever.'
effort to move his army to Zacatecas. By
taking up the attack where Natera has
been forced to leave off. Villa, it is
claimed, expects to make a successful as?
sault und Impress the world, and par?
ticularly General Carranza, with the fa?t
that had Carranza refrained from mak?
ing Natera commander of the central di?
vision, thus giving him authority to at?
tack Zacatecas. Villa's army would have
?attacked and captured th? city without
so fearful a cost.

Surgeons Operate on Spine
of Dorothy Schless to
Give Her New Life.
With the hope of making seventeen
year-old Dorothy Schiets, who former?
ly lived at Marty and Myrtle av.?.,
Brooklyn, an efficient member of the
.community, the physicians of the1
: Muncie Sanatorium. 11!) Ma?on st., per?
formed four operations upon her yes?
terday afternoon. In the evening It
j was reported that all had been succcss
! ful, and that the girl could look for?
ward to a happier future.
For th? lust three y?*arH, Hin,-c her
father's death, she has been wandering
in *d out of jobs. Frequently .she has
, been compelled to walk the streets when
' out of work, and many of the charitable
institutions of the city have become ac?
quainted with her. A probationary of
I fleer brought her to the attention of
; Dr. Elizabeth II. Muncie, who, with lui
husband, Dr. Edward Muncie, runs the
sanatorium. She found that tin- girl
was suffering from a nervous afflict on,
due to pressure on her spinal ? urd from
dislocated vertebra*, and from other
; trouhlea that could be remedied without
? much difficulty. This pressure was re
| moved by the operation.
It is believed that she will no longer
; sufTcr from the nervous spells which i
' gradually were affecting her mind. Ac- I
cording to reports at the sanatorium
' the girl has line instincts and should,
upon recovery, develop into a beautiful
I woman. Through all her troubles shy
has done nothing really wrong. All
; that she needs now is rest to enable
her to recover her full mental power.
The puzzle is where to place her until
' she is fit to return to work.
The Muncies and Mrs. Frances How
! lett Wright, secretary of the lecture
! course of the World's Purity Federa?
tion, are behind a movement to establish
i a place where persons suffering from
1 such nervous troubles may ko for treat?
ment whether or not they have money.
There is no auch institution in the
1 country. The plans fur this projaosed
educational and vocational hume are
ready, but no one as yet has come for
', ward with the necessary funds.

as Slayer.
Two fatal shootings and a stabbing
colled out police and ambulance doc- |
tors last evening. One man killed an- '?
Other, supposedly to avenge a friend's
murder. A second satisfied a grudge
of long standing by an offer of a drink
followed by a bullet. The third rc
.??ented a blow struck by a stranger in
the street and retaliated by stabbing
his assailant, probably fatally. All
three attacks occurred within an hour.
Tony Caputo, who was arrested in

They produced twenty at the hearing
yeaterday. but when they were lined
up to testify none of them knew any- |
thing about the case. Caputo was dis?
charged and set out with several
friends to celebrate.
They entered the Panama Cafe, at
208 Mulberry st. They were ranged
along the bar having a drink when a
man entered, levelled an automatic re?
volver at Caputo and pulled tho trig?
ger. Five bullets were tired, three of
them entering Caputo's body. Une
struck him in the jaw. He spun half
around and clutched at the bar as a
eocond hit him in the abdomen. He |
sank on his knees and the third bullet i
entered his right breast.
The man with the gun ducked out of
the saloon and esenped. Caputo was :

CURB SUSPENDS
MISSING BROKER
L. D. Ketcham Failed to
Deliver Standard Oil
Stocks to Buyers.
LAST SEEN WEEK AGO;
WIFE ALSO DISAPPEARS
Mother, Who Adds to Mystery by
Saying He's Unmarried, Blames
Partner for Trouble.
I^onanl D. Ketcham, a broker doing
business as ?.. D. Keti-ham & Co., in
the Hrond-Kxchnng.? building, 'JO Broad
st., was yesterday suspended from the
privilege.?. <?f membership In the New
York Curb Market Association follow?
ing his failure to nppear before the
hoard of managers and show cause
why he should not he punished for al?
leged failure to deliver Standard Oil :
rtocks to other brokers for whom he
said he had bought them, and who ;
sent him checks to pay for the certlfl- j
cates.
The charges on which the managers
of the curb acted were previously
called to the attention of the District
Attorney's office with a request that
they ho l.iid before the Grand Jury.
The amount lnvclved in the transac?
tions complained of by T. T.. Watson
& Co., Cornwall, Meed ?fc Co. and C F.
Welles &? Co., all members of the New
York Stock exchange, Is about .5--*.
OOOt Other Instances mentioned In
Broad st., but not presented to the
curb ?.. r.a?,ers for action, tend to sho*r
the amount Involved in Ketcham's
transactions to be much larger.
Ketcham, according to his associa*.e>*
in the Street, has not been in the finan?
cial district for a fortnight. His
mother, who made her home with him
at GO!> West 14'Jd st., told a Tribune!
reporter last night that he was at hl-i
home en June 7 and that she saw him
on the following day 'n Wall st. She
has not seen nor heard from him clnce,
she said.
Incidentally she denied that her son
was married, although other occupants
of the apartment house said his wife
disappeared with trunks and hand lug
gag?3 in .. taxicab called from an up?
town garage three weeks ago.
?it there i.? anything wrong." said
Mrs, Ketcham last night, "it is be?
cause Leonard wont into partnership
with a man whose name could not be
put over the door. H?'d had some
trouble or ojher before. When I saw
him he was all played out worrying
about money matters. You see, they
sometimes take too long chances down?
town, and thing? had gone wrong."
Aciordlng to the charges made with
the managers of the curb association,
Ketcham, on May 18, received a check
for $7,700 from Cornerall, Reid & Mayer
i-, pay [or twenty .?-bans .if Standard
Oil of California. At the time the llrm
! r, ?eived from him a notice of the pur
' chase and a statement to the effect
that it would be neeessary to send the
? ertificatc to San Francisco to have the
tule ?if the .stock transferred.
Watson & Co. report that they paid
Ketcham a check for SI. IK* for fifteen
shares ?>f Standard Oil stock on notice
from him that he bad executed an or
d? r for them. In this Instance It is de
?lared that he gave notice that delay
! would MtOW in delivering, as it would
he necessary to send the h-rger certifi?
cate of sixty shares he had puri'hased
to California to be split Into smaller
cerUflcatea
Wellet & Co. say they paid Ketcham
$2,700 in a similar transaction. All say
they have received neither stock nor
money.
Charles Whitney Chapman, who has
been acting as manager for Kctcham'a
office, said yesterday that Ketcham
would return soon and straighten out
everything. He did not know, he said,
where Ketcham had gone.
The scandal is one of the many that
have developed since Standard Oil of
New Jersey was split into many parts.
Prior to that timo the stock sold
around $U<X) a share and was dealt in
infrequently and then only by a few
houses of large resource:: and un?
doubted standing. A wave of specula?
tion followed the shower of certificates
that were issued after the dissolution
decree became effective.

"1 never got any thousand dollars." re?
plied MlSS Sullivan. "That was only a

The young woman who got $40.000
from Mr. He* recounted the cost of some
things she bought with her salary and
added. "I spent all but twelve cents."
She BBM she |?ai?l $7.", for a dre.s, and

NEW TYPHOID DEATH
BLAMED TO SERUM
Woman Dies, Children 111
After Inoculation?City
Faces Big Suit.
Typhoid fever antitoxin administ?:red
by the Board of Health caused the
death of Mrs. Catherine Emma Mer
?er at her home, at _0 <'restent pi.,
Brooklyn, yesterday, In the opinion of
her physician, Dr. Sidney K. Smith.
Mrs. Mercer's husband died from
typhoid several weeks ago. Before his
death he directed that their three chil?
dren be inoculated with the typhoid
fever serum by the Board of Health. ;
They were, and immediately contracted
typhoid fever.
As a consequence of Mrs. Mercer's '
death and the statements of her doctor
and nurses, the city will probably have
to face a heavy suit for damages.
The cases of the Mercer children at?
tracted the attention of the medical
world. Prominent physicians from all
over the state visited them. The charge .
that the serum had superinduced ty- I
phoid was bitterly affirmed and denied.
The controversy became furious and in?
volved the whole theory of the use of ?
the typhoid antitoxin.
Dr. Goldwater, Commissioner ef
Health, was told yesterday of the po?
sition which Dr. Smith and Mrs. Mer*
cer's two nurses had taken regarding
the cause of her death. He vigorously
denied the possibility of any one cog?
tracting the disease from the serum,
and declared with heat that it? use
would be continued whenever possible.
"Our peopte have look?d Into this
matter," continued the Healtb Cob*
missioner, "and we find ih.it she was
infected by her husband before inocu?
lation. The serum is not impure. There
is no truth in the statement to that ef?
feet. If it had been impure other pa?
ticnts would navt? developed the di?
sease."
"She was absolutely well up to the
timo of inoculation," asserted Dr.
Smith, "and after Inoculation ?he ?a?
taken ill."
"Her family is naturally exasper?
ated," he continued. "The three M.-rcer
children are still in danger, and the
family is angry enough to do anything.
In fact it is not improbable that they
will bring suit against the city."
