This' was taken here as in dicating that he would act as an un official peace commissioner between Carranza and Villa in their yet un .settled enstrangement. Lambardo was minister of public instruction in the cabinet of the late President Madero. He has been friendly with Villa, is on good terms with Carranza and is a close friend of Gen. Felipe - Angeles, Carranza's deposed ' secretary of war, whose present re lation with Villa has been credited .as occasioning much of the ill-feel- ine between the two factions of the constitutionalists.

As far as Carranza or Vil.'a agents here have learned, no definite plans are- laid for an attempted adjustment.

J by the suggestion of the United States government tnat sucn a break might parture of the mediators and delegates the Huerta Commission. Justice Lamar conveyed the views of the Washington government to Ambassador DaGama and Minister Naon after which , both diplomats cancelled their reservations for to night and. said they would not depart until tomorrow. The mediators ex plained that the recess did not signi fy an adjournment. They thought they could be of more service in Wash ington and elsewhere in forwarding the peace program. No objections were offered by the American government to the recess, but its 'communication was merely an expression of preference. There is no disposition on the part of the United -States to press the point, in some definite understanding as to the ' future. The fluerta delegates considerjstbat. their work on the in ternational controversy is finished, and it is believed would like to have the delegates appointed by Huerta take care of the internal questions. The American delegates are prepa ring to-stay here, another week, but the Huerta ' delegation is expecting definite word from Mexico City to day and may leave on Friday or Sat urday. The Chautauqua To Be Seen Here Again MORE THAN HALF THE TICK ETS HAVE ALREADY BEEN SUBSCRIBED FOR . The. citizens of New Bern who at tended the Chautauqua which was given here last week were so enthu siastic over the various events on the program that more than one hundred of them, become guarantors for the Chautauqua 1 to visit this city again next year and more than three hundred of the tickets have already; been subscribed- for; leaving only about three hundred and fifty or sixty to be placed during -the interim. The guarantors of the Chautauqua here last week had considerable .; trouble in inducing the citizens to 'subscribe for season tickets and for a time it was feaied that they would be compelled to make good the guarantee: but, fortunately this was not the case. , The, program next sea son will be entirely different from that seen last wceK ",''' '' 1 ROOT POSITIVELY TO RETIRE " - FROM SENATE ' ALBANY) N.

Are For TRANSITION WAS O DERLY One Million Dollars In Revenues To Be Replaced In Various Ways. WHEELING, W. VA., July 1. West Virginia entered the column of prohibition states last midnight and to day its residents are trying to ad just themselves to the new condi tions imposed by the Yost act, said to be one of the most drastic measures ever enacted 'in the United States. "For rent" siens in the windows of nearly 600 buildings throughout the state, where yesterday intoxicat ing liquors were sold in abundance, give mute evidence of the change wrought by the new law. Not a. I quor sign or advertisement can be seen in the important, cities and towns. All the marks indigent to licensed liquor dealing have disapperaed if by magic. Voted out of business by a majority of nearly 100,000, the saloonists took the inevitable good naturedly. Many sold their business and left the state. Some have turned to other lines of trade. Still others have retired from active pursuits. Of the 1,000 retail and wholesale liquor establishments in the state June 1, many had closed their doors before the week began. Only a few kept open until the last minute. The transition was orderly. There was no celebration although many curious ones throneed the streets of the cities. Five deaths, due wholly or in part to intoxicants, were re ported yesterday from the southern portion of the state. Nearly $1, 000,000 in revenues are taken from the state, counties, cities, and towns by the passim of the saloons. To ! meet this deficit each district has .evolved other forms of taxation . . p , red o. Blue, state commissioner 0f prohibition, has perfected arrange- ments for Enforcing the law. The fight for prohibition has only j commenced," he said in a statement ; iSSUed last nicht in which he appeal- I to see that the act is obeyed in every I particular. CHARLOTTE FIREMEN KIL LED.

Members Will Develop a Summer Colony Near That Place GIFT HAS BEEN MADE. Donation Of 212 Acres Conditioned That All Proceeds Be Spent On Property. CHARLOTTE, July 1. And now the Episcopalians of the South are to spend their Summers in the Western Carolina mountains near Black Moun tain.

Horner of Ashe ville spent yesterday in the city, the guest of his brother, Col. J. C. Horner. Bishop Horner is president of the Church Retreat. At a meeting of the board of trustees last Saturday a gift of 213 acres of choice land was made to the organization by Mrs. Florence M. Weatherly of Birmingham, All., who has a summer home near Black Mountain and is an extensive land owner. The only condition at tached to the gift is the provision that all the money derived from the sale of lots shall be devoted to improv ing the property for the benefit of the residents. The value of the gift, on a basis of surrounding prices ,is estimated at $20,000 as it now stands, and when the subdivision into lots is ef fected the increase is expected to be surhcierit to develop it in a modern manner. The site is three miles northwest )f Black Mountain station about the same distance as the V. M. C. A. Robert E. l.ee Hall m the south and the Montreal Ass x i.H ion on the north. The scenic view is described as being unsurpassed, the site being n the side of the mountain, com manding a view of peaks for many miles. The land ha been surveyed and 200 hundred lots will be put on the market at once, at an average price of S200, varying according to the size and I oca t it) n of the property. Roads are to be built throughout the Church Retreat, making pleasant walks and drives. Water, sewerage, electric lights are to be provided.

A field secretary has not yet been secured. This will be the only religious center of the sort which the Episcopalians in the United Slates possess and hence it is expected to make quite a wide , appeal. 1 Here will be lectures by emi nent Churchmen on religious topics during the Summer. The territory encircling Black Moun tain as now constituted is probably the greatest religious center in the world, being the official playground )f about 4,000,000 Church members. Two million Baptists have headquar ters at Ridgecrest, half a million mem bers of the Young Men and the Young Women's Christian Associations at their development, 300,000 Presby terians at Montreat, besides the Method st Colony Company whichcom- mands the interest of mnV tho isand Methodists and the Church Retreatj - which is expected to interest the tens of thousands of Episcopalians in the South.
