The divorce hearing case marked
principally by the emotional letters
written by Rapp to Mrs. Catherine

President is Hopeful
Over TSie Situation
Secretary Bryan Says, After Con
ference With Wilson. That
They Hoped Constitution
alists Would Join In
Mediation.
WASHINGTON, June 9. Secretary
Bryan, after a conference today with
President Wilson, jaid both were i cry
hopeful that the Constitutionalists
would participate in the mediation
negotiations at Niagara Falls.
The increased hope of the administra
tion chief it was believed was based
on reports that had reached them
from agents of Carranza here who
are in communication with their
chief at Saltillo.
The exact nature of Carranza's at
titude towards latest representations
by the mediators, however, was not
disclosed. A partial reply to the me
diators proposals has been received
by the Constitutionalists' agents here,
it was announced, but that not all in
formation desired was contained in
the communication. Further advices
deemed unlikely that -the Constitu
tionalist answer to the mediating en
voys would not be forwarded to Ni
agara Falls before tomorrow.
No word has been received here

Niagara Falls that the Huerta dele
gates had been given assurances that
the United States would ask no war

Officials would not discuss the matter
but in several sources it was stated
that it had been understood from the
outset of the mediation conference
that this nation would ask for no mone
tary reparation provided Mexico pro
vided a istable government.
At the cabinet meeting today there
was general discussion of the peace
proposals as drafted by the Washing

there were no changes from the gen

NEITHER
PARTY
Has Bill to Prohibit Cabinet Mem
bers And Congressman From
Lecturing.
(Special to the Journal)
WASHINGTON, June 9. Secretary
Bryan's lecture tours cropped out in the
house again today when Representative
Britten,, of Illinois, Republican, intro
duced a bill to make a penal offense for
any cabinet officer, head or clerk of a
government department to lecture for
pay, other than actual hotel and travel
ing expenses, and to prohibit senators
or . representatives from lecturing for
pay while Congress is in session. Of
fenders would be fined $10,000 or im
prisoned for two years or suffer both
penalties.
Mr. Britten lauenhed a broadside in a
statement accompanying a bill, in
which he spared no political party, and
included Senator Lafollette and Repre
sentative Murdock. He said:
This bill was prepared last Septem
ber, but was not introduced when Sec
retary Bryan formerly declared that he
would lecture no more during the
period. The recent announcement from
Philadelphia that several members of
Congress and the distinguished sec
retary Bryan had signed contracts for
a period of lectures beginning July
1 is responsible for my bill.
"I am at a loss to understand how the
secretary can consistently leave hi;
