W. Lehmann telegraphed early today
a 2000-word report of their conference
I yesterday at Buffalo with Rafael Zu

representatives of General Carranza
j In the United States.
A general feeling here that the Uni

dispatches telling of friction between
! Generals Carranza and Villa, reports
of a rupture In Sonora between Gov

I pon. and news of constitutionalist re-
! verses, both on land and sea.
j Mediation Accomplishes Little.
While mediation thus far has ao-
; romplished little, no agreement on
1 personnel for a new provisional gov
Arrrment having been reached, the
Huerta delegates showed great anxi
ely today to have the conferences con I
tlnued
i Emilia Rahasa. head of the Huerta
delegation, said today that he and b'sj
assistants would do everything inr
their power to prevent a break 'nj
negotiations.
The American delegates made noi
comment on the situation, saying thev
were waiting to hear from Prosident
Wilson and Secretary Bryan after
they had digested the lone report of
, yesterday's development.
Niagara Falls. Ont. Tune 17 -The
unsatisfactory conference between the
American delegates and two const! -j
; tutionalist representatives at Buffalo
over night dispatches of friction at
Juarez between Carranza and Villa r
officials, and stories of federal sue
cccse. at Zacatccas, produced a con-;
Fusing situation for the mediation j

I Justice Lamar and Frederick W
Lebmann the American delegates de
clined to divulge what the bad learn
ed in Buffalo from Rafael Zubrar
and Luis Cabrera, personal represent ,
atives of General Carranza but spoke;
of the conference as clarifying and
valuable.
I No Compromise Possible
I The constitutionalists ban explain-'
"v ed In detjil that there could be no
compromise in any shape or form
with General Huerta, or any of bit
party, that a prominent constitution-j
! filist alone would be accepted bj them
for the presidency, and that the mili
tary triumph of Ihe revolution was
ine itable
Further Discussion Futile.
The American delegates recognize
the futility of further discussion with!
the Huerta delegates as to personnel .
The Huerta envoys say they oever
will accept a constitutionalist, but
want a neutral.
Mediation has been in deadlock on
the type of man to be chosen 1 It
expected that when Minister Naon ot

The surgeon of the New Orleans gave

certain she- was badly disabled This
Is the second time the constitutional

of the federal navy. The Tampico
was sunk on June 11 and oiil

Guerrero More Powerful,
The Guerrero is nearly twice the
size of the Tamploo, and her ordi

powerful
Both vessels were designed as com

meet the peculiar neds of Mexican
service and were able to carrj about

from Herman Bernstein of Hollls. N.

disavowal of any Intention to discrlm

The incident is treated In corrw

sion to do so. It follows
Letter to President.
"Hear Mr President:
"1 have read with deep interest
your r.ddress at the dedication of the
American university. I take the lib
erty of Inquiring whether vou were
correctly quoted in the "following
lines, which were published in a New
York newspaper
" That is the reason why scholar
ship has usually been most fruitful
when associated with religion, and
scholarship has never, so far as I
can this moment recall, been asso
ciated with any religion except the
religion of .Jesus Christ."
"I feel quite certain that you know
that true scholarship has ever been
rind Is now the very essence and
foundation of Judaism, the religion
that gave birth to Christianity It
seems to me that It would, therefore,
be unfair to exclude Judaism from
the religion with which scholarship
has been intimately associated
"You know of my profound admira
tion for you as a great president, a

I that you would uot make a statement
I that Is unfair.

Wilson's Reply.
The president's reply was
"My Dear Mr. Bernstein
I am sorry that there should have
been any unfair implication in what
I said at the opening of the Amer
ican university You may be sure
there was nothing of the kind In my
mind, or certainly nothing In my
thoughts that would discriminate in
the important matter you speak of,
against Judaism.
'I find that one of the risks and
penalties of extemporaneous speaking
Is that you don't stop to consider the
whole field but address yourself
merely to the matter directly in hand
With sincere respect and appre
elation, cordially yours (Signed)
