AFTER j mu m Km ON CARRANZA'S AID irtfi iim Delay in Receiving Reply At tributed to Faulty Tele graphic Facilities. TAMP1C0 CARGO HELD UP IyOadlng' of Ammunition Consigned to Uamborg, However, Permitted, . Although Destination Seems to Be Mlere Snbterf nge. WASHINGTON. Juno . Every Indl eatlon In Washington tonight pointed to participation by the constitution alists of Mexico In the mediation con ference at Niagara Falls. While final word, was awaited by bis agents here from General Carranza as to the answer to be forwarded to the South American mediators to their proposals, delay was accounted for by telegraphic disturbances between the United States border and Saltillo. It was expected the definite position of the constitutionalists would be com municated to Niagara falls before many hours. Consent to Armistice Not Expected. ' Some of those in touch with the chief of the constitutionalists Insisted tonight that the revolutionary leaders would not consent to an armistice in the campaign against the Huerta gov ernment, but that he would express willingness to acquiesce In peace pro posals as they relate to establishment of a provisional government pending a general election, provided ample rep resentation Is given In the provisional government to the belligerents against Huerta. Should Carranza refuse a cessation of hostilities, it seemed Improbable here that his representatives would be re ceived in the mediation conference, but this contingency failed to affect the optimism of President Wilson and Sec retary Bryan as to the outcome of the Mexican difficulties. Official Optimism Explained. This was accounted for In great measure by the suggestion from Niagara Falls that, whatever Car ranza' s answer might be, the peace proposals being discussed between the Huerta commissioners and those from the United States would be incorpo rated into a protocol; that the media tion conference then would take a re cess and that the United States Gov ernment would undertage negotiations with the constitutionalists with a view to procuring their consent to the pro visional government proposal. While the mediators and Mexican delegates were deliberating today on the peace plan formulated by the Washington Government, President Wilson and Secretary Bryan and John Lind, who represents the State Depart ment in negotiations with Carranza's representatives here, were in confer ence. Later, Secretary Bryan said that both the President and himself were hopeful of participation by the consti tutionalists in ultimate plans for peace in Mexico. Compromise Thought Probable. It was learned that some of the fea tures proposed by the Administration here which differed from the peace plan originally submitted by the mediators ami the plans of the Huerta commissioners related to treatment of the constitutionalists, and the belief of Administration leaders is that a com promise may be reached that would be acceptable to General Carranza and his followers. Should it be necessary for mediation conference to recess pending separate negotiations with Carranza, it is thought here much could be accom plished toward composing the Internal j Mexican situation, and that tripartite participation in the second stage of mediation could follow, with Huerta, Carranza and the United States rep resented. In some quarters in touch with the revolutionary leaders the opinion was expressed that Carranza would offer to send delegates to Niagara Falls to dis cuss the peace proposals, but that he would not specify precisely the scope of discussions in which they would be authorized to participate. Ammunition for Tamplco Held TJp. The subject of ammunition from the United States for the constitutionalists continued a matter of official concern today, having been discussed at length t the Cabinet meeting. The Cabinet deliberations resulted in a direct order from Secretary of Commerce Redfield to hold up a cargo of ammunition en route to Galveston aboard the Morgan liner El Sud for trans-shipment to Tampico. Jiff Constitutionalist leaders were some what surprised to learn of this action, but they also were gratified to learn that there had been no interference with the loading of the Hamburg American ship Arcadia at Baltimore. This ship took on $10,000 worth of ammunition consigned to Hamburg. (The Baltimore collector reported that he regarded the clearance as a subter fuge and that the arms really were destined for Mexico. The Administra tion, however, said there could be no interference with the vessel at this time if her clearance was for Ham burg. Antllla la Sue Today. The Ward liner Antilla from New York with her cargo of ammunition for Carranza la due at Tampico to morrow. Huerta. having suspended the blockade of the port, and his gun boats having returned toward Puerto Mexico, some officials expressed, the opinion that her cargo would not be interfered with. Department heads declined, however, to discuss rumors that the vessel might not discharge her cargo. From the west coast of Mexico Admiral Howard reported today that there was no Improvement in the con ditions at Mazatlan; that many persons were leaving the city and those re maining were demanding food. Sayula was reported to be in the hands of the revolutionists. The Japanese Minister to Mexico, whose continued absence from the cap ital had given rise to some apprehen sion, was reported to be safe and well. While Admiral Howard's dispatch con tained no details, it is understood that the prolonged absence of the Minister was caused by his remaining for some time at the end of a break in the railway connecting Mexico City with Mazatlan, in an effort to find his way to the seaport to communicate with the commander of the Japanese cruiser ldzumo respecting the safety of Japa nese in the western coast ports.

ATTORNEY IRWIN RETORTS 'Back Door of Courthouse Is - Used to Get Results," Is Charge Against Man Who Appears aa Friend of Court for Poor Client. Colonel C. E. S. Wood was successful yesterday, in inducing Circuit Judge cieeton to reduce what he considered an excessive attorney fee. The fee charged by Attorney Ben Irwin for foreclosing a 5600 mortgage was 10 per cent of the amount, or $550. , The fee was assessed to the mortgagors, who could ill afford to pay it, according to Colonel Wood. The court reduced the fee to $25. Attorney Irwin asked permission to examine witnesses as to the equity -of his fee and the hearing was set for next Monday. O. A. Ploegstra and his wife. Sochia Ploegstra, were sued by Carl Schiewe to foreclose a $5500 mortgage on their Ford-street drive property. The mort gage drew 8 per cent interest. Ploeg stra is a janitor for Sherman, Clay & Company. His wife is a hard-working woman, crippled with rheumatism, and a daughter is paralyzed. Colonel Wood declared that the foreclosure would turn them out of their home. With no money to retain a lawyer Mrs. Ploeg stra appealed to Colonel Wood, who took the matter before Judge Cieeton as friend of the court. Irwin declared that Wood had de manded that he reduce his fee to $100. or that the court would redyce it to $50. I told him I would reduce it to $125, and no less," said Irwin. Colonel Wood said the mortgage is not yet due, but that the half-yearly Interest installment, due last January, has not been paid. It is for this de fault that the mortgage is being fore closed. "For me to have appeared regularly would have cost $5.50 appearance fee." said Colonel Wood. "As there was nothing to contest but the attorney's fee of $560. I felt I could save Mrs. Ploegstra this $5.50. Judge Cieeton fixed the fee himself. Any mortgagee, who in- these hard times forecloses on the home of a working woman, ought to pay his attorney out of his own pocket and not out of the pocket of the unfortunate debtor." Attorney Irwin described Colonel Wood's action as "going into the back door of the Courthouse to get results." This is the same Wood, he said, whose firm got attorney's fees of $75 for foreclosing a mortgage of $1000 against Mary L. Bozell, $100 for fore closing a mortgage of $1500 against J. R. Estabrook, $200 for foreclosing 'a mortgage of $1450 against A. C. Emery & Co., $400 for foreclosing a mortgage of $4000 of S. G. Reed, $350 for fore closing another mortgage of $3500, all practically uncontested cases." TILLMAN CALLS BLUNDER (Continued From First Pace.) country at this time and endangering the chances of the Democratic party in the Congressional elections next Fall. ' Senator Tillman announced he would vote for repeal only because he felt his state party convention had freed him from the "tolls Joker" In the Baltimore platform. "It staggers my common sense and I have been unable to understand why he projected the fight on his party at this time," Senator Tillman said in dis cussing the President's demand for re peal. "It is of great Importance to the Democratic party to control the House at the next election, and I be lieve the President should have kept quiet until that election is over. It would have been the best statesman ship to do so. Democratic Party Split. "Until this Issue was pressed to the front the course of Democracy had been onward and upward," Senator Till man asserted. "The opposition was hopeless and helpless. There was wisdom in silence and it would have been golden. There are so many things of more impor tance that the Democrats ought to do that I must say in my opinion it was a great blunder on the part of the President. The Democratic party. In stead of presenting a solid, united front, is split into contending factions." The Senator recalled that Theodore Roosevelt, "the great advertiser," had come home "delighted." Then he de voted his attention to Senator O'Gor man, anti-repeal leader, suggesting that in the next campaign the New York Senator would have some diffi culty in explaining why two planks so antagonistic as the tolls and ship sub sidy planks were placed into the Balti more platform. British Alliance Charged. Senator Smith, of Michigan, resumed his speech in opposition to the bill. He criticised Senator Root for favoring repeal of tolls exemption and declared the Senator helped prepare the first Hay-Pauncefote treaty, which was put to its death by overwhelming American indignation. "I wish the Senator from New Tork were here so that I might ask him if he" approved of its death," Senator Smith declared. "At that instant. Senator Root en tered the chamber and Senator Smith repeated hia remark. "I did approve of its death, because it did not afford the United States an opportunity for military protection of the canal," said Senator Root. Senator Smith insisted that the tolls repeal was urged by President Wilson to make an ally of England In the Mexican situation. "If the United States would only give the A'B C mediators a free hand, the occasion for the passage of the bill would be removed," said the Senator. Bitter Democratic Feeling; Shows. Senator Ollie James, of Kentucky, almost on the eve of a vote on the tolls exemption repeal bill, tonight drew aside the veil and exposed some of the strong feeling among Demo cratic Senators divided over the con troversy. Senator James made an at tack on the position of Senator O'Gor man, leader of the anti-repeal forces, declaring that the New York Senator had been the valiant defender of the tolls plank of the platform, but had failed to be the champion of another plank Just as important when oppor tunity offered. Senator James began his attack by reading a plank in the Baltimore plat form declaring for publicity of recom mendations of appointive Federal offi cers, explaining that the plank was In serted with the particular object of having the recommendations for Fed eral judgeships made- public. He then announced that Senator O'Gorman. as a member of the judiciary committee, had twice had an opportunity to show his advocacy of this plank by offering amendments to accomplish this end to bills before that committee creating new judicial districts. James Stands t'p for Bryan. Senator James turned from Senator O'Gorman to Senator Vardaman. who recently spoke of the Democratic party following the leadership of "Bryan and Root" in the tolls exemp tion fight. "Everybody takes a lick at Bryan these days," he eald, with a smile, "but with every blow he grows in the love of the American people. Bryan and Root! Who is the distinguished Sena tor from Mississippi following in his posltlonT Gallinger on one side and Smoot on the other and in front Sena tor Penrose, of Pennsylvania." Senator James said he favored the repeal bill because he thought it must be passed to save the Nation's honor and because it repealed a subsidy.

(Special.) The county central committees of four political parties met today and selected delegates to the state platform conven tion which meets June 30. Prohibition was the issue in naming the delegates and each party sent a "dry" delega tion to the platform convention. This, it is said, makes it certain that a dry plank will be inserted in the platform of all political parties this Fall. The chief fights were staged in the Democratic and Republican committees. The N,ugent and Prohibition forces won an easy victory in the Democratic meeting and put through a programme forcing ex-Governor James H. Hawley on the delegation for the purpose of making him go on record on the li quor and other questions. The Republican committee was split evenly on the prohibition Issue, but the dry s forced through a programme giving them a majority of the dele gates. All was harmony in the Progressive and Socialist committees, both of which named full sets of delegates. Three Derricks, Working With Utmost Caution, Accomplish Feat in Three Hours. MUCH INTEREST AROUSED Concrete Base, Weighing COO Tons, Will Hold Great Staff Tpright Without Guyropes Flag . to Be 4 6 Feet Long. SAN FRANCISCO. June 9. (Special.) The giant Oregon fir tree which has been shaped to make the largest flair pole in the world was raised at the Panama-Pacific International Exposi tion grounds today. Owing to Its great weight and length the pole was ex tremely difficult to handle and the work of getting It into an upright po sition has aroused as much Interest as any other single construction feature at the exposition. The pole stands 222 feet above the ground and the gold star at its top rises 10 feet higher. Ten feet of the butt are set Into a solid block of re inforced concrete, weighing 200 tons, which will be of sufficient bulk to hold the pole upright against the high est winds without the assistance of guyropes or other supports. Pole Welsh" 35 Tons. The flagpole itself weighs 35 tons, the log from which it was trimmed having weighed 60 tons. Three derricks were required today to erect the pole. It had been floated la from the bay several days' ago. Each of the derricks had to be anchored with numerous guyropes to eliminate the possibility of mishap while the pole was being raised. To guard against accident the pole was lifted only a few feet at a time, three hours being re quired for the actual raising. Flag: to Be 48 Feet Lonar. The pole was donated to the expo sition by the citizens of Astoria. Or., and was floated down the Coast to the exposition grounds more than a year ago. It has been allowed to sea son until a few weeks ago, when the work of shaping the big stick was undertaken. This portion of the work alone required a crew of six men work ing 10 days. The pole will carry a great American flag, 46 feet long, also donated by the citizens of Astoria. PROHIBITION ISSUE IS UP HOUSE COMMITTEE TO CONSIDER HOBSOJf COMPROMISE. Proposed Article of Constitution Re vised to Meet Objection State Rights Are Violated. WASHINGTON. June 9. Nation wide prohibition through an amend ment of the Federal Constitution will be considered tomorrow at a special meeting of the House rules committee. Members of the committee were reti cent tonight, but it is understood they will pass on a revised resolution pro posed today by Representative Hobson, of Alabama, to meet opposition to the amendment he submitted some time ago on the ground that It violates state rights. AS revised, the proposed new article In the Constitution reads: "The sale, manufacture for sale, transportation for sale, importation for sale of intoxicating liquors for bever age purposes in the United States and all territory subject to the Jurisdiction thereof, and the exportation for sale thereof, are forever prohibited; the Congress or the states within their respectful jurisdictions shall have power to enforce this article by all needful legislation." Prospects of a vote on prohibition at this session have been the subject of general discussion, and Majority Leader Underwood has expressed willingness to have the question put before the House for a test. Mr. Underwood and other Democratic leaders believe that, while the Hobson resolution might command a majority, it could not receive the two-thirds vote necessary for passage.
