NATIONAL CONTROL DENIED States With 10,000,000 Population Declared Not In Hands of Con . stitutionallsts Frauds Pre dicted as Consequence. NIAGARA FALLS, Ont, Juno 17. The Huerta delegation to the media tion conference issued a statement to night charging7 that Insistence by the United States on a constitutionalist for the provisional presidency as opposed to a "neutral" was "tantamount to abetting and even exacting fraud and violence at the elections. The publication of this statement was unexpected by the American dele gates. When they learned of it their attitude was that the Huerta delegates were acting entirely within their rights when they criticised the American plan for establishment of a provisional gov ernment in a communication addressed to the Americans themselves, but they were greatly surprised by the action ' Jn giving It out. The preface of the statement ex plains that publication tonight was made because knowledge of the criti cism already had reached representa tives of the press. Nation Lnnsed to Elections. The statement was In part as fol lows: "In a country unused to electoral functions, such as Mexico, and particu larly in the circumstances and condi tions it would be in. once the revolu tion had ceased, a provisional govern ment composed of revolutionaries, and with the revolutionaries in authority throughout the country, would turn the elections as It wished, the public vote would be falsified; and the result would necessarily be the election of another revolutionary. Consequently, when the -Washington Government In sists today on the designation of a constitutionalist as provisional presi dent It favors also from today the im position of a revolutionary president at the elections. Such an "attitude is bad for both countries, and for the chief of the rev olution (who will also be its candidate). Bad for the two countries, because it will create a national sentiment of hos tility in the Mexican people, when a sympathetic rapproachement between them and the UnlYed States should be striven for: bad for Carranza and for his party, because public opinion in Mexico, whose susceptibility in the matter Is well known to them, would ever accuse them of having brought about the intervention of a foreign na tion to enable them to achieve power and of wielding an authority submis sive to a foreign government. Power Over Elections Decisive. "In the United States, and In some European countries, the influence of the government in power on elections is slight, if any. In Latin-American countries it is usually decisive and the product of - a revolutionary element which believes in its right to power by conquest. A revolutionary government does not hesitate to set aside all law and trample on the public will. In Mexico in the present circumstances only a well-balanced government can guarantee electoral freedom so that the rejection of the neutral governemnt proposed by the mediators is tanta mount to abetting and even to exacting fraud and violence at the elections. "The American delegation draws an Illogical inference When it says that the rebel successes show that the Na tion is with them. The central and eastern states of the republic, whicjh have a total population of over 10,000, 000 Inhabitants, are not under rebel control. Of these Guanajuato, Jalisco, Puebla, Vera Cruz, Mexico and Oaxaca alone have over 7,000,000. "Carranza, elected by the nation un der a neutral provisional government, would command the respect due to the person who incarnates the nation's will, whereas elected under a government purposely imposed, as the result of any action of the Washington Government, he would always be regarded as a traitor. ' ' "Now the government of a people in the front rank of civilization or moral culture cannot assume, for a mere mat ter of form, the responsibility for the continuation of the slaughter, pillage and atrocities which accompany the present struggle In Mexico, and which a vain effort has been made to con ceal from the public of the United States." BALLOON ON JOY TRIP VOICE LEAVES PORTLAND AND IS AT MOLALLA IJT FOlTt HOURS. Pilot Inger Describes Ride mm Perfect and Country View mm That From Large Extended Map. OREGON CITT. Or.. June 17. (Spe cial.) "We had a pleasant joy ride." This was the verdict of Pilot Edward Uuger after he landed in his balloon Venice in the barnyard of David Beugli. between Molalla and Liberal. The Venice started out from Portland with the pilot and Harry Kadderly and Jack Klner as passengers at 1:45 o'clock and landed at 6 o'clock. The party left Molalla early in the evening for Fort land by automobile. In describing the ride. Pilot Unger said: "The conditions for the trip were perfect. The air currents were just right, and we could have gone far up in the Cascades if we had wished, but the thick forests were too deep to make escape easy and the country too rough to make landing safe. "We were well supplied with ballast when we left Portland, so that we could take any height. At one time we were S000 feet above the earth. The air was clear and we could see for many miles in every direction. Portland was plainly visible at all times and we could see down the Willamette Valley far below Salem. To the north, a long range of hills extending east and west across Washington was the limit of our vision, and to the west the air was so clear that we could easily see far down the Columbia River. I could not tell how many counties were within range of vision, but all in Southwestern Washington and Northwestern Oregon spread out before us like a great map. "The trip was a joy ride in every sense of the word. We were out for the fun of it and to see the country." Pilot Unger said that he would prob ably make another trip from Portland either this week or the first of next. two new Pictures illustrating American activities at vera crttz f Ctr l' a' -Xf . m all :vwdw& Crifti &r .

VILLA GAINS HIS POINT (Continued From First Page.) FOR 25 YEARS NOTHING BUTGGDD -COFFEE JONESV Tl FOURTHS Upmarket f alder to a value of 21 cents gold at the El Paso exchange today. Colonel Tomas Ornelas, Villa's gar rison commander, declined to discuss the orders or reasons for his raid yes terday on the government offices and the subsequent arrest of Carranza men.

Huerta's delegates at Niagara Falls accept him. , CAUSE OP TROUBLE EXPLAINED Xatera's Effort to Win Glory Alone Beginning of Misunderstanding. LAREDO. Tex., June 17. Men who arrived here today from Saltlllo, Mex ico, reported that desperate efforts were being made when they started for the border yesterday to patch up dif ferences between Generals Carranza and Villa. Men of influence were hurried to the camps of both factions in an effort to re-establish harmony, but there was a tenseness in the atmosphere which showed plainly how grave all consid ered the situation. General Natera, it was said, was ex tremely desirous of taking Zacatecas before Villa arrived to share the glory of the conquest. Natera did not await orders to at tack the town and in a desperate as sault on La Bouffa, a hill which com mands the town, was said to have lost between two and three thousand men In killed and wounded, a large per centage of his forces. He asked help of Villa and, it is said, was told to fight his own battles and that as he had gotten himself into a scrape by not following instructions, he must extri cate himself alone. It Is said Carranza then intervened and ordered Villa to go to Zacatecas and aid Natera. It was Inferred that Villa understood this order to mean that he was not to supersede Natera In command. It also was said that Generals Benavldes and Ortega, whose troops were to have formed the rein forcements, declined to serve under Na tera's command, although they said they would serve with Villa. It was rumored General Villa agreed to go to Zacatecas If he would be in supreme command. It was reported representatives from each of Villa's brigades were to come to Saltlllo to consult with Carranza about Villa's successor, but they bad not early Tuesday and it was reported in Saltlllo that Instead they sent a message signed by Villa and 14 gen erals saying they no longer recog nized Carranza as first chief of the constitutionalist army, but that they would continue to operate independent ly against Huerta. the common enemy. CJARRAN2A MTLMON SfXSSIXG Money Said to Have Been Confis cated1 fcy Villa' Men. EL PASO, Tex, June 17. General Carranza and General Villa failed to deny today that their relations bad reached a breaking point. Neither did agents of either the constitutionalist leader or his northern commander at tempt to give reasons for the forceful removal late yesterday of all Carranza appointees in the offices at Juarez by Villa's supporters. It was not denied from any source that Villa's soldiers had taken over' the entire fabric of civil government that heretofore was manipulated by Carranza's cabinet of ficers. In addition to the disappearance of the Carranza officials from the border port $1,000,000 in constitutionalist cur rency is missing, it was said tonight on the best authority. This money was of the national Issue which Car ranza installed to become general cur rency throughout constitutionalist ter ritory. The money, said to have been confiscated by Villa, was sent to the state capital.
