FINAL TALK TO BE HELD LATE SATURDAY
j Type of Man Desired by Americans as Successor to Huerta
j Seems Impossible and Situation Considered Hopeless
South Americans Feel It Beneath Their Dignity to
Wait Longer for Constitutionalist Chief to
Define His Attitude.
(Niagara Falls. June 11. The media
tors at 3:40 p. m today gave out the
entire correBpondence they had with
General Carranza and his representa
tive. No comment was made.
5, It was learned authorlatively . how-
Ter, that the mediators impatient at
the delay over the Carranza answer,
now consider their correspondence
with him at an end and the incident
closed.
SThe complete disagreement which
has arisen between the American
delegates and the mediators over the
kind of man to be chosen for provi
slonal president has brought things
almost to the breaking point. The
mediators showed considerable worry.
The Mexican delegate indicated
that they would sacrifice the point
a , on the method of succession, but
mould not yield the provisional exec
i. utlve power to a constitutionalist
jl They will Insist on a neutral person
v The mediators called the Americans
1 for a conference late today for what
,r may be a final talk.
S:tuatlon 8eema Hopeleas
i Some of the mediators think an
agreement may yet be reached If the
Americans submit their list of names
and in It la a man satisfactory to
the Huerta delegates, but from the
description given by the Americans
of the type of man they desire, there
are many who consider the situation
hopeless.
The correspondence Is composed of
onlv three letters. The first signed
bv'the three South American diplo
mats, dated Washington, May 3. is
the telegram in which the mediators
withdrew their inflation to Genera'
Carranza to send a representaU ve to
the mediation because he refused to
declare an armistice Tt text was

May 28 mas that delivered to the
mediators at Niagara Falls by Juan I
Urquidl and signed by Rafael Zutoa
ran. special representative in WasD
ington of General Carranza. This
letter stated that General Carranza
considered the conflict In Mexico
should not be the subject of negotia
tions at the mediation conferences in
the absence of representatives of Hie

8TThe mediators replied to this note
on June 2 commenting on the fore

INSPECTION OF STORSTADT'S SHATTERED BOW SHOWS THAT HER
ANCHOR TORE THROUGH LINER'S HULL LIKE GREAT CAN OPENER
The Storstsdt as she looks today.
An examination of the Storstsdt, the vessel which collided with the Empress of Ireland, shows that the
latter was probably ripped open by the sharp flukes of the collier's bow, and an inspection of the shattered
plates shows that the anchor was jammed in a position where it must have torn through the hull of the Em
press like a great can opener.
There were blood stains on the anchor point and portions of the battered steel surrounding it bore stains
of blood. These stains seem to bear testimony as to how some of the passengers met death

ENGLAND TO BRING SUIT
1 ondon, June 1 1 Reginald Uc
Kenna, the home secretary, announc
ed in the House 0f Commons today
tnat he hoped the government had
ontaiiied sufficient evidence to enable!
It to bring suit against subscribers
to the funds of the militant suffrn
getie organization He added th:
further hope thai the government
would he able 'o make the subscrib
ers liable for the full extent of the
damage done by "arson squads. ' des
troyers oi mall and picture slashers.
The announcement was made in rea
ponee to bitter criticism of the Inac
tmty of the government against what
Lord Robert Cecil desrrlhed as noth
ing less than anarchy." for which in
his opinion, the only real remedy wai
deportation.
Phenomenon Without Precedent.
Mr Mc Kenna pleaded ihat the go
ernment was faced with a phenome
non absolulelv without precedent. The
number of wouier actually engaged in
LAommittlng crimes Connected with the
militant suffragette movement is
small he said, but sympathizers arc
numerous. He admitted the crimes
were increasing In seriousness and he
recognized the growing 6ense of pub
lic Indignation against the militant
suffragettes, more especially in re
gard to their gross rudeness to Kincr
George and Queen Man
In dlsctfssing suggestions for deal
ing with militants, the home seere
tary said he believed the "let them
die" policy would aet only ns a great
er incentive to militancy and would
in due course lead to a reaction In
public opinion Deportation, he con-j
sidered impracticable
Suffragettes Not Lunatics
s 10 treating the militant suffrage;
tes as lunatics Mr McKenna said he
could not ak parliament to sanction
an act defining people as lunatic s .Ii
bad not been med'calh certified as
such
The last proposition Mr McKenna
said, was to give women the vote,
but he thought that could QOl be seri
ouely considered as a remedy for ex
isting condition
Oat and Mouse Act Effective.
Mr McKenna declared the much cri
ticized ' cat and mouse act" has been
quite effective. Many of the suffrage!
tes released, he said, had abandoned
militancy while others had fled the
country.
The home secretary appealed to Un
tie w spa pers to cease reporting suffrag
ette outrages Publicity, he said, was
what the militants were seeking
Many of the women, the secretary
said, are hysterical fanatics who wish
to die to gain what they believe to be
martyrdom
"Whatever may be the difference of
feeling regarding the hunger strik
ers' the secretary concluded, "there
can be no doubt as to what the feel
Ing Is with regard to the wealthy wo
men who provide the money. If we
BUi ceed in our plans of prosecution
It will mean the destruction of wo-1

Before the bids were opened, Man

stated that, if it were known just
how many yards of earth were to be I
removed, the contractors could bet
ter make their bids, as the quantity,
to be handled would affect the price i
The other contractors agreed with
him. but the commissioners took the
view that the engineer should uot be

of the, amount of work to be done, j
