DELAY Id ANNOUNCING
FREIGHT DECISION
Washington, June 30. Prospects
of delay of a week or more in an
nouncing the Interstate Commerce
Commission's decision in the applica
tion of the Eastern Railroads for 5
per cent, freight irate increases, have
ifvhed speculation about- the com
mission's conclusions in the hard
fought case.
A sudden hitch in the decision,
coming just at a time when it was
generally supposed to be on the1 eve
of announcement, was taken to indi
cate the commission is far from
unanimous over, what it shall decide.
So many elements enter into the de-(
cision that the closest observers of
the commission's procedure are now
Predicting that announcement maybe
delayed until the middle of July.

Washington, June 30. The White
House again today was the storm cen
ter of women suffragists. Headed
by a brass band and garbed in gowns
of white and carrying their yellow
pennants bearing the legend "Vates
for Women," more than four hum
dred club wbmen, from various parts
of the country, marched oh the White

to favor suffrage legislation at thi3
session of Congress. They also read
to ithe President art resolution . endors
ing woman suffrage, which was
adopted at Chicago recently by the
Federation of Women's Clubs.
Twice before President Wilson re
ceived the suffragists at the White
House. On both occasions he told
them that whatever might be his per
sonal views on woman suffrage, or
other subjects, he had made it a rule
not to urge legislation upon Congress
that had not been the subject of "or

cratic party, of which he considered
himself the spokesman.

(WEST VIRGINIA TO
A SAHARA
' Charleston, W. Va., June 30. In
cities and towns throughout West
Virginia the prohibition element has
arranged for parades, church ser
vices and other demonstrations to
take place at midnight tonight in cel
ebration of the coming into operation
of the State prohibition law. Every
city, town and village of the State
has planned for a celebration of some
sofrt. In many places the proprietors
of liquor establishmentsi will volun
tarily pour their stocks of "wet"
goods into the gutters.
The law which- adds West Virginia
to the list of "dry" States is prob
ably the most drastic that has ever
been passed by any of the Common
wealths. It prohibits the importation
as well as the manufacture and sale
of all intoxicating liquors. The only
exception to be made is n the case
of "pure -grain alcohol for medicinaU
pharmaceutical, scientific and me
chanical purposes and wine for sacra
mental purposes by religious bodies."
The law goes so far as to prohibit
all newspapers and other periodicals
containing liquor advertisements
from being brought into the State.

MEDIATORS
Does Constitutionalist Chief,
Rut Before the Conference
Must Consult With His
Generals. x
Niagara Falls, June 30. After a
conference between Ambassador Da
gama and Ministers Naon and Sua
rez, the mediators in the Mexican difr
ficulty, it was announced today that
the mediation conferences would for
mally recess tomorrow until such
time as the Constitutionalists' dele
gates and the Huerta representatives
car confer informally on Mexico's in
ternal problems: k
The mediators had before them to
day General Carranza's note, setting
forh, in polite phrases, his thanks
for the . invitation to have Constitts-
jtfahalist delegates participate ' in the
informal conferences With the: Huer
ta delegates for a selection of a pro
visional". President of Mexico and so
lution of other internal problems.
General Carranza stated, however,
that he would iike to have more
time in which to consult his subor
dinate chiefs and generals, before
acting on the invitation. He explain
ed that auy change in the plan of
Guadaloupe, which is the platform of
the Constitutionalist movement, re
quired approval of signatories to it.
The plan provides for military con
quest of Mexico City and establish
ment of a revolutionary government
there.
New Elements Enter.
Washington, June 30. New ele-"
ments in the Mexican situation, caus
ed by internal dissensions in the
Constitutionalists' ranks and General
Carranza's delay in outlining' his at
titude toward the proposed confer
ences between his representatives
and the Huerta delegates, kept the
Mexican . situation in an unsettled
state today. Administration leaders
declined to discuss these develop-

that a way might be found for estab
lishment of a provisional govern
ment in Mexico, that would inspire
ready recognition. Some of. the Con-i
stitutionalist representatives in
Washington reiterated the belief that
Carranza would decide to send dele-
gates to meet the Huerta mission.
. Satisfaction was expressed in Ad
ministration circles today over- re:
ports . ithat representatives of Car
ranza were to meet General Villa this
week in effort to repair whatever
breach has occurred between the two
leaders.
Some answer -from General Carran
za, -as to participation in the Niagara
mediation conference, was expected
at Constitutiona'list headquarters by
- SW - Luis Cabrera, carranza s
agent here, said the (jrenerai naa oeen
conferring with 'his chiefs, as was
required- by the plan of Guadaloupe
and probably by this time had learn
ed their vjews. The fconstitutional
ista' agents here 'in the meanwhile
hav6 assumed an attitude of watchful
waiting- The news ? from Mexico
that British Minister Garden had ad
vised British-subjects to leave was
interpreted by the Constitutionalists
as foreshadowing military develop
ment centering in Mexico City.

Foreign . Minister Kato today , an-
nounced that , details of the treaty
negotiations between Japan-and the
United States, on the subject 'of the
California anti-alien land lawlwould
nbi be published, out of deference to'
request from the United States and
also because publication-was deemed
unnecessary. Comment today. Of the
more moderate among theieatding
newspapers unanimousl expresses
dissatisfaction with Americat but
following the cue given by thlg? for
eign minister shows disposition to so
berly discuss the subject inHhe hope
of enlightening, instead of.-, exciting
the public. Fear is ''expressed. ' that
Japans case is. hopelesn and,i there .is
evidence of a strong feeling that the
time has arrived to fix the status of
the Japanese subjects living -.abroad.
