BY ASSOCIATED I'RK.SS.
Washington, .May 17. After a day
of conference between the representa
tives of the Huerta gDvemmi nt, the
South American mediators ami Ameri
can delegates, the advance guard of
the Mexican mediation is proceeding
tonight enrouto to Niagara Kails, for
the opennig of the conference, on Wed
nesday. The stay of the Huerta deb-gates to
"Washington afforded an opportunity to
thoroughly canvas tin: plans and the
whole range of Mexican affairs were
generally discussed. The delegates
made a ceremonial call on Secretary
Bryan by leaving their cards. They
steadily refused to make a statement
regarding their mission to the United
States.
The chief military development of
the day was a report from Gen. Funs
ton that the San Francisco bridge of
the- Inter-Oceanic railroad near Vera
Cruz had been destroyed. This con
firmed ( previous reports of aviators.
The destruction won't affect communi
cation with Mexico City. Secretaries
Garrison and Daniels said no orders
were issued and no important dis
patches were received.
It was learned in quarters close to
the Mexican delegates that they aro
d'lcldedly optimistic concerning the
olftances of mediation. They are said
to realize the present administration
In Mexico City is fast crumbling and
the choice of some one to succeed
Huerta is inevitable and the delegates
are Interested probably in the attitude
of the Constitutionalist toward medi
ation. It is said they will insist that
not man who has grained military
prominence will be permitted to take
the reins of government. This would
eliminate Carranza and Villa.
HUERTA PLANS A COUP.
Although Huerta sent delegates to
mediate the differences the possibility
is admitted by representatives of Mex
ican factions that hostilities may be
provoked by federal troops near Vera
Cruz, which would entangle the sit
uation and force another crisis. Their
views find credence among those who
think Huerta has planned offenses at
Tampico and elsewhere
hoping i
through American intervention to
unite all Mexico and thus suppi-ss the
Constitutionalist cause.

Body Aged Florida Man, Who
Had Been Slain Found in Lake
St. Petersburg. May 17. Shot twice
through the head and with his throat
cut from car to ear. the body of W.
M. Boone, sixty years old, a salesman
of fruit trees, was found lloatir.g in
Reservoir Lake, near the pumping
station, in the center of the city. The
find was made by a small boy who
was on his way fishing and officers
are woiking on the case. Or.e arrest
has been made and others likely will
follow. Boone evidently was killed in
a dasperate fight, and the theory is
that he was murdered in the woods
and his body placed in the lake during
the night "hours. Boone had been

Mrs. Uly6ses S. Grant (a new picture.)
New York, May 17. When Ulysses
S. Grant, son of the late president, and
his young- wife, who was Mrs. America
Workman Will, left San Francisco last
July for the antipodes on their honey
moon, they announced that-they would
remain in foreign lands for a year
and a half. With less than a year
gone they are back in America.
It will be recalled that Grant, and
the former Mrs. Will were married
in San Diego, California, last July.
The bridegroom was sixty; the bride
thirty-two. The difference in their
ages, together with other facts, caused
the members of the Grant family to
hiiterlv unmso the union, and at the
wedding dinner it was noticed that the
Grants with the exception of a son.
Ulysses, Jr. were not to be seen. The
breach at that time between Grant and
his children was so grt-at thai there

Washington, D. C, May 17. With

Hearing an end, the house th:- week
t,d:es up for consideration t u- three
so-i :al led anti-trust MIL, which with
the necessary ppproprintion b:i ' make
up tho administration's legisiutive
jirogram.
Tiie democratic senate leader5
aligned with the president for the re
peal of tho tolls bill expMt to see
the debate closed Saturday but Tic
house leaders don't believe the trust
measures can be passed under th re
wee ks.
Aside from the trust tight there will
be a particularly bitter struggle on
the part of members favorable to la
bor and agricultural unions to exempt
them from operations of the Sherman
law. The president is said to have
declared ho is opposed to It.
The exemption toll fight is expected
to reach a climax during the week.
Five senators have given notice they
will spt?ak on the subject and others
will be heard. Minority Leader Kern
hopes a vote will be taken next Mon
day. The administration is confident
as the leaders have not ceased to
tight.
The National Democratic headquar
ters issued. -a , statement . KnishL de
claring that seven hundred and two
delegates at F.altimore out of eight
hundred and seven answering, regis
tered opposition to the free tolls plank
in the democratic platform. One hun
dred and twenty-seven stand for free
tolls and thirty-eight are non-committal.
Members of both houses are greatly
interested in the prospect of adjourn
ment by the middle of July, but un
less the senate leaders agree not to
pass the anti-trust legislation there is
little probability of an adjournment by
August 1. at the earliest .

WOMAN FREED OF
SLANDER CHARGES
Richmond, Ind., May 17. The tirst
trial held in Richmond in a quarter of
a century, at the Third Methodist
Episcopal church in Richmond, was
concluded when a jury of seven mem
bers of the three other churches of
this city returned a verdict of not
guilty ;n tho case of Mrs. Charles II.
Conkle, charged by George Kllis with
having maliciously slandered him.
A verdict of guilty would have re
' suited in Mrs. Conkle's being dismissed
from membership or being censured.
Mrs. Conkle, her husband and their
two children immediately resigned
their memberships. Mr. Conkle had
been a trustee of the church for nine
years.
Xeighborhood gossip, the testimony
brought out. resulted in Ellis' filing
charges against Mrs. Conkle.
