?Plans for the pacification of Mexi
co through mediation virtually have
been completed.

President and Gen. Huerta for ap
proval. When this Is obtained secon
dary question will be taken up for
consideration and determination.
Will Complete Details.
A protocol covering the basic
principles will be signed, the media

their homes, and the mediators will
complete the details of the under

thorties at Washington and Mexico

Task for the V. R.

"months. Tt is expected that the re
sponsibility for dealing with the con
atitutlonallst element will be thrown
upon theUnltedStates.
Junta Not Tet Chose*.
Among the points still to be dis
posed of Is believed to be the selection
of persons to comprise the new pre
vielonal government and the exact
manner by which it will take office to
succession to the Hearet* regime.
On these questions the mediators
were in communication today with the
delegates. All said. satisfactory pro
gress had been made and that a pro
tocol concerning' the conference here
> probably would be lined within a
Week.
The main point now under dlsoua
slon Is Just how the transition from
the present administration to ? new
pcovsional government can be affeot
ed. Inaamuch as the United States
has never re<tefni?ed the oonsUtutko
ah right of Oep. Huerta to hold the of
fice of provision!! president, the In
tent of the American delegates la un
derstood to be that the new provision
al execution shall.not appear to have
been chosen by Heurta.
It Is necessary, It the Mexican con
stitution be followed literally, that the
office of minister ot foreign affairs
which Is no# vacant, shall be filled
by the ndvldual to whom the meda
tlon conference expects Oen. Huerta
to turn over the reigns" of govern
ment.
V. 8. Will Not Hamper. .
The Mexican constitution provides
that In nase or vacanc/ In the office
of president, the minster of foreign
affairs shall succeed to the position.
The United States, It is known on re
liable authority, will not allow tech
nicalities to hamper m' quick Settle
ment and the American delegates rec
ognize that an Irregular method of
choosing a provisional president
might evoke opposition from such
Mexican people as think Huerta's title
a constitutional one.
The common effort of both the
American and Mexican delegates,
therefore, is to preserve the froms of
the Mexican constitution in what
ever arrangement Is agreed upon.
The. American government has been
desirous that the Huerta government
give way to a commission or a Junta
of five persons, or po^klbly three. The
Mexican delegation takes the view
that a commission woujd be unpopu
lar because their people, being un
used to such a form of administra
tion, might resent it aa ot foreign sug
gestion. They urge that the succes
sion should be made regular through
the selection ot a minister of forelfcn
affairs, who would automatically suc
ceed Oen. Huerta upon his retirement.
This succession then could name
as cabinet members those persona
who already had been- agreed* upon
here. ,
Such, an arrangement might tech
nically be construed aa .permitting
Oen. Huerta to ohoose nU successor,
but the tact that the persons who wlM
comprise the new provisional govern
ment would ha elected Id advance apd
approved by the Onlted State?, would
prevent, In the opinion ot some par
ticipants In the conference here> that
1 oppression from being self credited.
Neither tke American nor lexlcan
delegates consider this point a stumb
ling block, expecting that a method
will IxTfounfl to transfer the executive
power at Mexico City which will meet
the Mexican viewpoint without com
mittlng the the American government
to a recognition of the Huerta admin
istration. ......
That there should be a governing
body of five Individuals Is practically
settled, although there 1b still some
<y8cus8ion whether or not three men
could handle thp situation more effec
tively. There has been some sugges
tion too, that the five individuals
should represent the various tactions,
but the effect now being made is to
agree upon individuals, all of whom
are neutral In politics. On this group
would devolve the responsibility of
carrying out the program adopted
here. " *
Would Supervise Elections.
This would include arrangements
for the conduct of an electlod, as soon
as practicable, for president, vice
president, "knd members, of eongress.
The provisional government will be
expected to decide upon the selection
of governors for the various state^
where vacancies now occur, and ar
range for gubernatorial elections.
The whole purpose of the mediation
is to Impose upon the group govern
ing body, or Junta an obligation to
carry out the program adopted here.
Though one of the group will prob
ably be called provisional president
and the others members of h(s cabi
net, th^re will be a tacit understand
ing that these men as a unit will be
responsible tor tfce oonduct of liar
provisional government and h%ve an
etfual voice in Its operation. ~
Must Agree Not to Change.
Ordinarily a provisional president
could'dismiss members of his cabinet,
but an agreement is expected to be
reached to the effect that no changes
will occur to the group until the elec
tions have been held. ..
Questions of personnel are now ab
sorbing the at(ntlon of all.|
The Washington administration has
In its possession a list of names sug
gested and will designate a number,
any one of whoa would be accord
ed recognition If determined opon for
provisional president.
Indications points to the holdng of
a full conference ot the delegates and
mediation! tomorrow, and a formal
ptbllo statement from the mediators
is not unlikely.

Prize Winners In Good Boad Contest.
In a - contest In which nearly five
thousand children all over the United
States engaged, two girls and a boy,
all aged 14, have been awarded prizes
by Logan Walled Page, Director of
the U. S. Office of Public Roads for
writing the best essay on the repair
and maintaince of dirt roads.
So admirable was the essay sub
mitted by Amy Coon, of Scammon,
Kansas, and so well did she lay down
the fundamental rules to be observed
over by road engineers that the Amer
ican Highway Association, In addition
to the medal awarded by Mr. Page,
has decided to send her to the Ameri
can1 Road Congress to be held In At
lanta early in November, paying all
expenses.
The contest was arranged by direc
tor Page' in order to arouse interest
among school children In the sub
ject of improving the public roads of
the United States. Mr. Page believed
that 11 a contest were started, the
children would ask questions of their
parents, and On impetus would be
given fo the road Improvement.
Thousands of children In ail parts of
the country participated in the con
test Ma&y ot the essays submitted
bore evidence of having been pre
pared with the assistance of 'parents
or sohool teachers and these were
eliminated. The ablest engineers in
the U.'B. bfflce of Public Roads acted
as a board In pausing on the essays
and in' making the decisions.
The prise winners were as follow
ing:
First prize. Gold Medal, Amy Cbon,
Scammon, Kansas, a pupil In the
Skidmore school.
Sepond prise, Lucille Huff, age 14,
Willodale Farm, Arlington, Oregon,
a pupil in the Arlington school.
Third prize, Melvln Paulson, age
14, Blooming Prairie, Minnesota.
These receiving honorable mention
were: ? f
Robert Barrow, age 14, Mansfield
Cent**, Connecticut. George H. Rom
bough, age 11, Woodside, Lewis Coun
ty, Idaho. Maurine Atkinson, age 15.
Independence, Missouri. Frances
Cochran, age 14, Wellman. Iowa.
Miss Coon will undoubtedly be the
guest of the American Road Con
gress in Atlanta If her parents con
sent to have Mr take the trip from
her bom* In Kansas. The American
Highway Association will not only
pay ?11 the expenses of the young
lady but will see that she Is well
cared for by the wives of the local
officials of the Congress. Her essay
will be read to the engineers and the
other delegates who will attend the
Congress.
Miss Amy says the chief reason
why earth roads receive no attention
and little improvement and little Im
provement in the last fory years is
because they have not had sufficient
place in the public mind.
"People seldom give the improve
ment of roads any thought beyond
paying their taxes or working them
and sometimes getting out of it all
together. They then find fault with
the road overseer.
"Straight roads are desirable, but
in hilly countries it is often necessary
to make, a winding road In order to
have a level grade.
"After the road is properly-located
the next thing to be thought of is the
drainage. A poorly drained road is
very undesirable when after a rain
or snow, the horses feet and wagon
wheels cut It up then it becomes
impassable with mud, aid then a
freeze comes which leaves the road In
a worse state than before.'
"When the water is allowed ,to
course down the middle of the road
It washes out gutters and ruts that
are quickly enlarged by the wagon
wheels. This can easily be overcome
by proper drainae?." ? '
Huge Thefts In a fear.
?Special to The Washington Post
New York, May 81.?Forty million
dollars, conservatively estimated, is
the value placed by the head^ of the
National Surety Company, of this city,
on defalcations throughout the United
States In 1913. Thefts of more than
$b,0000,000 were publicly reported,
while burglary Insurance policies and
ofher evidence of loss bring the total
amount up to the first figure.
The carelessness of employers and
public officials in "checking up" the
accounts of trusted employes baa been
found to be the canae' Of many de
falcations. A bank cashier la given
as an example, one who recently vas
found to have stolen 110,000 in ten
years without detection. Although
his books had been examined per
iodically, bis method was so norel'he
waa not exposed until recently. When
ever a customer of the hank' bought
exchange on a bank In other city the
cashier would record a small amount
on his books and pocket the differ
ence.
Extravagant home "life caused re
markable Instances of wrongdoing.
The wife of a railroad official stole
$1,600 from her husband's cash draw
er In the railroad station to spend on
luxury.
