Will Wait For Delegates To Get

THE END COMES TODAY
No Need To Waste Valuable Time
Without Getting
Results.
XIAGARA FLLS, June 30. Af
ter a conference today between Am
bassador DaGama of Brazil and Min
isters Naon and Suarez it was an
nounced that mediation would form
ally recess Wednesday until such
time as the Constitutionalist dele
gates and Huerta representatives
could confer informally on Mexico's
internal problem.
The mediators come to this decision
after reading General Carranza's note
asking for time to consult his general
as to the informal parleys.
Minister Cuarez referred to the
Carranza note as "satisfactory" and
sensible in its explanation of the
need for time. All the mediators
and their secretaries began immedia
tely to make plans for departure to
morrow or Thursday and it is expected
that by the end of the week the entire
mediation col nony will have left here.
No time has been set for reconvening
of the mediation, but it is not believed
that they will gather again for another
two or three weeks.
Carranza s note sets torth in po
lite phrases the thanks of the Consti
tutionalist chief for the invitation of
the mediators to send delegates to
confer with Huerta representatives
over selection of a provisional pres
ident of Mexico.
Carranza gives no inkling as to
whether ot not the invitation will
be accepted ultimately but explains
that any change in the plan of Gua
dalupe, which is the platform of the
Constitutionalist movement, requires
the approval of the singatures to
it. The plan provides for a military
conquest of Mexico City and the es
tablishment of a revolutionary gov
ernment there.
Neither did the note give any in
formation as to how long it would take
Carranza to consult his generals and
chiefs.'- He already has had one weeks
time" C In which to do it, but it was
freely predicted that he might want a
month . or more.

Sensatior Developments In Mur
der Case.
BLOODY
GARMENT FOUND
Police Still Working On "Second
S,Man" Theory State's Attoroney
iPfa. ces Disagreeable Duty
STAMFORD, CONN., June 30.
Two late developments caused State
and police officials here to discard today-
CPU
unn
all theories of accident and to become
convinced that Wallace A. Ballou was v
killed by violence.
These two developments, which will
be brought out in the Coroner's in- f
4uc3l lumurrow mcernoon, are:
First State's Attorney-Elect Hom
er S. Cummings has found gray hairs
matted in the blood stained skirt
removed by the police from the apart
ment of Mrs. Helen M. Angle, in tke
Rippowam Building, in front of which
Ballou was picked up dying, late last
Tuesday night.
Second Every suspicious stain on
the " stairs leading to Mrs. Angle's
apartment and on ttfe rugs and flooring
of her rooms has! been found to be a
blood stain.
Dr. Bruce S. Weaver, expert from
New York, will not reach a conclu
sion as to the nature of the stains on
the electric iron until tomorrow morn
ing. Tests on this are being made
in a New York laboratory, it was learn
ed tonight.
Lack of Trail Puzzled.
Mr. Cummings Chief of Police
Brennan said this morning that they
believed it would have been impossible
for Ballou to fall from the third to the
second landing of the Rippowam building.-
-But -they were at a loss to explain
how his body could have been brought
from Mrs. Angle's apartment on the
third floor to the second floor with
out leaving a trail of blood.
They decided that the only way
this could have been done was for the
guilty persons or persons or some one
else, to wrap a cloth about the vic
tims head. Mr. Cummings immedi
ately made a Careful examination of
the black skirt. f. .
When the gray hairs which the po :
lice say are identical in color and
texture with Ballou's were found -ground
deeply into the stained cloth,
the police believed they had discov
ered the clue they had sought. The
theory is ' that ' Ballou's head was t.
wrapped in this garment. ' ' r
Interesting' in this connection ; are,i
statements made by Mrs. ' Angle, and ji,
her father;'' Leonard ' Blondei, to 'i thg
ptlfce-ih thV early invigitiotfra;,-1 'n
Angle1 said she was in her undergarments-;
and did not have' theiack "
skirt Vc-lt when she carried Bhu'
body to the street from the rslcond
landing, where she says she founU at.
When the, character of these stain be
came apparent Mrs. Angle said that
the , police had misquoted her and . r
that, she did have the skirt on that,' .
night.
"Not Blood," She Insisted. i '
She and Mr. Blondei have insisted ' . I
from the first that the stains on the
floor of the sitting room, just to h ,
left of the piano, and a small stain on
the landing at the. entrance of -the
Angle apartment were not blood " : -:
stains at all, Of the stain on the bal- ' '
ustrade, which the police say ; haa ':
been partly washed off, Mr. Blondei ' ' '
said: "That is not blood; it's tobacco v -juice."
.',"
The stains above the second landing ,' i.
and in the apartment itself are the f
only ones regarded as significant by
the police and Mr. Cummings) v'sf:'
Nobody Has disputed the gruesome
character of: the broad and unbroken . :';
trail which led from the second lan.-:
ing to the body on the sidewalk. I ,
Fourteen. , samples of stained ma- C :
terial were given to Dr. Weaver for "S
enalysis. ; , They . included . chips from
the floor "; of the ; apartment, bits of '
grass rugs in the living and bed rooms,1 '
and pieces of concrete from the land- ,
ings. ' Also there-will be presented at " ' -'.
the inquest ' tomorrow i Mr. Batlou'a
bloodstained spectacles, v which were;:
found by the' police in a box In the'
apartment, and the empty i whiskey
bottle that was in Mr. Ballou's jacket
pocket when he was discovered.' The
police say it is remarkable that Mr.
Ballou could have fallen down a flight
of stairs . without breaking either ti
glasses or bottle. .
