Br SPECIAL CORltESPOMJENT.
Niagara Falls. Ontario, June 3. Am
bassador Da Gama. of Brazil, advised his
fellow mediators, Senor Naon and Senor
Euarez, to night that he would return
from Long Branch for a final session
which will doubtless mean the end of
the Niagara Falls conference.
The Ministers of Argentine and Chile,
who have remained here canye to the con
clusion today that Gen. Carranza is
likely to postpone indefinitely the plan
of sending envojs ure to confer with
the Huerta delegates. In such case they
regard It unnecessary to wait longer.
Will Mali a ripply.
If the Brazilian Ambassador agrees
with the program discussed tonight, the
A B. C mediators will mail a reply to
Gen. Carranza's last letter and then ad
Journ subject to recall at the request
of the Huerta delegates. Carranzas final
statement is expected tomorrow morning.
According to information that has
reached Niagara Falls ahead of the let
ter, the first chief of the constitution
alists asked for more time, that he may
obtain the full consent of all his gen
erals fnder the treaty of Guadalupe, the
leaders of the rebellion agreed not to
accept peace until their armies entered

claimed provisional president.
Consequently the ait of seeking pes"

If the conference Is adjourned sine die,
the whole responsibility of solving the
Mexican problem will fall upon the Mex

weeks Senors Rabasa. Elguero. and Bod-.

Wilson administration that the revolu

Advices received by, the Mexicans dur
ing the day were to the effect that the
rebels had no more intention of sending
delegates here than In the past. The
Mexicans put the whole responsibility for
all the delay upon President Wilson and
Secretary Bryan "who could. If they
would, bring the rebels to terms imme
diately," as one of the Mexicans ex
press it.
The American delegates announced to
night that they would stick indefinitely.
They late been instructed by Washing

Vera Cruz, June 3. The end Is In sight

The only question now Is whether
Huerta will be able to hold the elections
on July 5. count a portion of the returns,
declare some one elected and step down
himself before the army deserts, the
mobs rise in Mexico City and the Na

'.PROVE IT FIRST
JKSTAND
Carranza's Spokesmen Here
Silent on "High Finance"
- Disclosures.
'WILSON'S MOTIVES PURE'
Hopkins' Letters Praise President
Contents of Published Ones Largely
Repetitions of Statements.
Members of the constitutionalist Junta
In Washington were still waiting last
night for proof of the charge made by a
New Tork newspaper that the Carranza
revolution was financed by "big busi
ness." Carranza's representatives contended
that as yet such proof was lacking In the
expose based on the alleged stolen let
ters that have passed between Sherburne
G. Hopkins, a Washington lawyer, and
New York business men. Until such proof
Is forthcoming, Carranza's represents
tlves said they will have nothing further
to say In regard to the disclosures.
There are two or three points, however.
In the latest batch of the correspondence
that have greatly Interested Washington.
One of these points is Hopkins' comment
In his letter to Gen. Carranza, on Sec
retary Bryan. In regard to Mr. Bryan,
Carranza's Washington lawyer says:
'Would 5atiInnt Csrinnia.
Mr. Bryan does not look upon your
general attitude with favor, a
conrfncd"lhatj!f Jneic.ould.ln .
and I ant
any, .way;
supplant you with some one else who
would be more pliant In Ills hands, he
would do eo, using such of the machinery
ot this government as he could for that
purpose."
Hopkins points out that President Wil
son is honorable and absolutely fair, and
that his motives are pure.
In connecton with these
statements.
must be considered Hopkins comments
on Charles A. Douglas, a Washington
IawTer. Hopkins complains to Carranza
of statements issued by Douglas, favor
able to mediation, and as Hopkins al
leges, false In every detail and misrep
resenting Carranza's policy and attitude.
In these references to Bryan and Doug
las observers In Washington see evi
dence of Hopkins' resentment at being
superseded by Douglas as Carranza's
Washington representative In dealing
with the State Department. It has been
suspected "for some time that Douglas
entered the field as a representative of
Carranza because of his friendship with
Secretary Bryan, and from the time of
his appearance all dealings with the
State Department from the constitution
alists passed through his hands.
Letters No Surprise.
Persons who have followed the Mexi
can situation closely were not surprised
to read In one of the Hopkins letters to
Carranza the statement that John Llnd
had assured him (Hopkins) that If muni
tions of war were exported from the
United States to Cuba for trans-shipment
to Mexico, no obstacle would be Inter
posed by the United States. Hopkins rep
resented further that John Llnd had said
that the President hesitated to raise the
embargo while mediation negotiations
were pending.
There Is nothing startling about Mr.
Llnd's statement in regard to round
about shipment of arms, for officials of
the State Department, when questioned
recently, said publicly that this govern
ment would not interfere with such ship
ments. Also, it has been well known in Wash
ington that John Lind from, the beginning
has been opposed to any cessation of hos
tilities in Mexico, pending mediation. He
has expressed the view repeatedly to
friends here that any compromise with
Huerta would be fatal to the constitu
tionalists. The evidence contained In the allegedly
stolen letters, that Hopkins and other
representatives of Carranza here were
urging him against participation In the
mediation program Is in exact accord
with published statements made by Hop
kins and others for several weeks. .They
have made no secret of the fact that they
have been urging Carranza not to think
of an armistice or to enter Into any com
promise with Huerta. ,

Further light was thrown upon the
tragedy today by a high military officer
who witnessed the affair. This officer
says neither the archduke nor his wife
appeared to know that they had been
wounded until the duchess fell Into her
husband's arms.
The archduke said: "What's the map

with blood fnrm the wound in his neck.
It was some seconds before the chauf
feur brought the motorcar to & standstill.
Meanwhile the duchess was clutching her
husband's neck as If trying to close the
wound made by the assassin a bullet.
Seeing the blood continue to flow, she
shrieked "My God! My God!" and then
sank back Into tbe seat.

Vienna. June 29. Emperor Francis Jo
seph today ordered the orphaned chil
dren of Archduke Francis Ferdinand
brought here from Bohemia, where they
were visiting relatives of their mother.
They will not be told of the Sarajevo
tragedy until after they arrive here.
Though himself suffering greatly from
the shock of the assassination that took
from him the archduk, the prop upon
which he had leaned for many years, the
aged Emperor was even more affected
by the plight of the motherless and
fatherless children.

Is a hard one. I am old and have only
a short time to live, but they will have

BALLMTS RIVAL

His Dea"th;
SON FEARS FOUL PLAY
Insists, However, His Father Had No
Infatuation for Mrs. Angle,
Held in Jail.
Special to Th Washington HmM.
Stamford. Conn., June 29. Jealousy of
a youthful rival is now believed to have
led sixty-nine-old Waldo It. Kallou to his
death In the apartments of Mrs. Helen
Blondell Angle, five days ago.
It was learned tonight that this is the
theory upon which the police are work
ins. Their efforts, however, up to the
present time have been blocked by the
refusal of Mrs. Angle to reveal the name
of the younger man who visited her last
Tuesday night
"It will be proved, said Chief of Police
Brennan tonight, "that Ballou when he
called on Mrs. Angle -Tuesday night met
another man there. His welcome was
not cordial and he left early. Bitter at
the rebuff he took the first drink any
man ever saw him take in a public
saloon. He went back to the flat and
found his rival still there. There was
a quarrel and Ballou was struck down.
The rest is told In the red prints of
bare feet all over the place There were
two sets of bare foot prints on the floor,
one much larger than the other. Our
caso tonight Is much stronger than It
ever has been."
It can be stated almost positively that
a charge ot homicide will be made In
connection with the case before Satur
day morning.
'A packet of letters from Mrs. Angle's
flat today is expected to yield Important
evidence. As a result ofthls and other
discoveries the coroner's inquiry sched
uled for today was postponed until Fri
day.
Soon to Knd ltiuriet,
Harry Ballou, son ot Ballou, reached
Stamford today to attend Coroner Phe
lan's Inquest. He -had Just come from
his father's funeral In Kew Hampshire.
"It doesn't vseem to me that my father
could have received those Injuries by
falling down stairs." said Harry Ballou.
"I feel certain of that. And another
thing that bothers me Is this: My.father
