White House officials said that
when the reply of the American dele
gates to Senor Rabasa s note was pub

American Answer Expected.
Niagara Falls. Ont , June 18 The
m answer of the United States to the
statement of the Mexican delegates
1 to the peace conference that insist
1 ence on a constitutionalist for provi
sional president would be ' tanta
" mount to abetting and eveu exacting
! fraud and violence at the elections"
was being prepared today by Justice
Lamar and was expected to be madp
public before night.
5 Although the American delegates
were not offended at the publication
of the Mexican statement, there was
considerable speculation as to the mo
tive for making it public at this
l time. The statement, which was is
sued by Mr Rabasa was a paraphrase
of a memorandum given to the Amer
ican delegates last Friday..
Rabasa Memorandum Answered.
It was made known that the Amer
ican delegation answered almost im
mediately the memorandum received
from Mr. Rabasa. The response was
t considered by the American delegates
as an adequate defense of the posi
tion they had assumed toward the
establishment of a new provisional
government. It is said to declare
that the Mexican delegation had not
4 taken into consideration the fact that
the United States had no candidate
for permanent president of Mexico
0 and that under no circumstances
would the American government be B
party to any influence on the elect
II tlons of any country. Its preference
for a constitutionalist for provisional
president was due wholly to the con
n viction that a man from that party
I must be taken in order to Insure the
disarmament of all factions that oth
erwise would menace the new Mexi
can government if B man not satis
factorv to the constitutionalists
J should be installed in place of Huerta.
The position of the American gov
ernment is that an agreement be
tween the United States and Huerta
on a neutral would be valueless un
le6 the great bod of constltutlon
.... alist troops were ready to accept
him.
' ' The Mexican delegation refuted the
I" suggestion made in some quarters
that the Issuance of their statement
was a defense which anticipated the
... failure of the negotiations. They said
,dlt thov honestly felt an expression of
their opinion might be publicly ap
proved and thus would influence the
jl American government
' When formal conferences are re-
Isumed tomorrow on the return of
Minister Naon of Argentine, it will be
definitely determined whether in view
of past disagreements the conferencea
jtu- should be prolonged for indefinite
,1th consideration of names offered by the
two sets of delegates or whether

Crowtis about the LaSalle Street Trust and Savings Bank after it was closed, and its president, former Senator
Lorimer.
That the LaSalle Street Tru9t and Savings bank of Chicago, which closed its doors last week, will be re
organized and its depositors saved from loss is the statement of C. B. Munday, who exercises financial control,
and former Senator William Lonmer, its president. The closing of the Munday-Lonmer chain of banks is
traced to the scandal in the state auditor's office. State Auditor J. J. Brady was sued for breach of promise by
Mrs. Louise Kuhns, whom he had married contrary to the state law. The suit led to charges that the office was
conducted for the benefit of spoilsmen, and an investigation then showed the weakness of the Munday-Lorimer

According to the plans in Mr. Whit
meyer's office, the building will be
entered by means of granite steps
leading into the lobby The various

and the workrooms for thr various
clerks and attaches of the office will
be placed in the rear of the building.
The structure will have a base

; building will contain a court room
j and federal office quarters. The en
tire structure will be modern in ev
ery detail and will be supplied, with

SUGAR COMPANY AIDS
FARMERS WITH
LOANS
While in Cache valley Job Pingreo
of the Amalgamated Sugar company,
advanced about $10,000 to sugar beet
farmers at a reasonable rate of inter
est to aid them in caring for their
crops. It costs about $lo an acre to
thin the beets and there being other
expenses attached to the crop it is
necessary for the farmers to have a
little ready cash in order to make
good. The sugar company has made
it a practice to take a risk with the
farmers by making loans as first liens
on the crop. The sugar company can
do this to better purpose than bankers
as the company is acquainted with the
fanners aud has contracts with them
for beet cultivation. It is said that
there axe many instance where the
farmer has no bank account and it
Is imperative that he get a loan in
order to harvest his crop. Mr. Pln
gree says that more than 100 farmers
I
of Cachn valley availed themselves of
the opportunity of securing loans from
the sugar company.
