Post ponement of the Niagara Falls mediation conference from Mon day to Wednesday, at the request of the Hnerta delegates changed the plans of the South American mediators and the American com missioners for departure today and tomorrow, and at the same time produced much speculation as to possible significance in the delay. Iatcr the Spanish Ambassador here, who is caring for the inter ests of Mexico in the United States, authorized a statement that the delay merely meant that the Iluerta delegates wanted a brief respite from their long jour ney and had no political import ance. 1 he Spanish ambassador will give the Mexicans a dinner here Saturday night, after which they will proceed to Niagara Falls. The three South American diplomats and American commis sioners will leave Sunday and Monday and all will assemble Wednesday. Hostile Act Over Parks. There were many developments in the dajfr clearing the horizon tor the mediation, but one sin ister aspect developed in the send ing of a strong note of protest by the United States government to Gen. Iluerta, through the Brazil ian Minister in Mexico City, de claring the reported execution of Private Parks, an infantryman, a hostile act in view of the suspen sion of hostilities at Vera Cruz. The refusal to divulge informa tion about Parks, in answer to re peated requests, also was resented by the American government W hie there is no information of what course Americans will take, it is virtually certain that when the mediators get together the question of the whereabouts of Private Parks will be one of the mam points in the discussion. Killing Was Barbarous. lien. Funston reported he had wanderd through' the Mexican incs. As he w.-.s in an Ameri can uniform he should have been treated as a prisoner of war and not executed as a spv. The. burning of his body indi cated in reports from Gen. Fun ston, as well as by stories reach ing the Brazilian Legation in Mexico City, is held by the Unit ed States to be contrary to the rues of civilized warfare. The three mediators, through the State Department, today an nounced that the Lobos Island incident had been closed up. They informed General Iluerta that the Mexicans were free to return to the Lobos Island lighthouse. bmpers Are. Mexicans. The six South Americans re ported to have been arrested for sniping turned out to be Mexi cans it was reported today and like others arrested at Vera Cruz were discharged. They had claimed fhey were South Ameri cans to escape punishment. On the whole President Vv ilson and his cabinet today took a more hopeful view of the Mexican sit uation than they had for weeks. They are confident mediation will accompish something toward the pacification of the problem. The Constitutionalists' capture of Tampico brought out the fact that there is no prohibtion against the shipment of arms into that port from the United States or any other country.

W ashington, May 15. Vigor ous I'lldorspniput rf ("nl Rnnu. I velt's claim of discovery of a new river in .outn America was 21 v- en last evening by the National Geographic Society, through Gil bert II. Grosvenor, director, and editor of the society's magazine. Mr. Grosvenor not only points out Col. Roosevelt's qualifications as an explorer, but he discredits the British critics of the former President. Prominent among these critics are Walter Savage Landor, who made a long trip through- Brazil, and Col. Young husband, of Tibetan fame. Mr. Grosvenor refers to the attempt of English critics to discredit the Antarctic discoveries of Capt. Wilkes, U. S. X., whose daughter is Miss Jane Wilkes, of Washing ton. The Concert We felt proud of the Choral Society last night. The concert given at the Auditorium was about the best musical production ever heard in High Point and re flected credit on each and every one and especially the conductor, Prof Brown. The selection of the program displayed both taste and good judgment, bringing out the pow ers of the members of the society and furnishing splendid enter tainment to the audience. Every selection made a lit and we wish that, a larger number of our citi ens had been present. It is difficult to single out one or two in so perfect a production, but special mention should be made of those who took leading parts, rendering so delightfully the. 'difficult parts.' Mrs. W. R. Edmunds. Mrs. Kephart, Mr. Briggs.-"Prof, and Mrs. Brown, and their accompanists, Miss Florence -Blair and Miss Minor. We congratulate Prof. Brown and each member of the chorus on the marked success of the en tertainment. CHEAP RATE EXCURSION.
