' TUBUS ON REBEL POSITION United States Insists Now Is Time to Require Agreement l of All Factions. CRITICAL POINT IS REACHED Iiuerla Delegates Xot Averse to Ad mission of Foes, but Declare It Is Xot Xecessary to Com pletion of Peace. NIAGARA FALLS, Ont., May 30. A crisis in the progress of the media tion proceedings wa reached tonight. While the mediators were awaiting answers from the Huerta government and the United States to the tentative plan for a new provisional govern ment in Mexico, the question of ad mitting the constitutionalists to the conferences before an agreement or protocol is signed loomed up as likely to influence the decision of the Ameri can Government on the plans already outlined. The mediators let it be known to TiiglM. that they would answer the note delivered by Juan K. Urquidi. a Car ranza messenger, publishing both com munications simultaneously. Americana Retain Hope. The American delegates were in clined to Bee much significance in the arrival here of Mr. Urquidi. The latter had a long talk with Mr. Lehmann early in the day. The American Com missioners say they have not seen the Carranza note, but they are hopeful that a way may be found to bring con stitutionalists into the conference. In this . connection the American delegates conferred tonight with the mediators. The viewpoint of the United States is that it would be far oeiter to get all parties into agree ment now than to attempt to deal with the constitutionalists apparently after a. iwo-pariy agreement is completed. The American Government, it is known 'here, realizes the critical position in which it might be placed if the entire responsibility of dealing with the con- fi.iuuonaii8t3 were placed upon it. Huerta Knvoys Not Averse. The impression prevails that . final answer of the United States on the essentials of the peace plan will not ue given until there is an understand ing aoout constitutionalist representa tion. The Hucrta delegates are not ad verse to having the constitutionalists aamnieu, Dut have left the matter en tirely to the mediators for decision. On the other hand, the Huerta envois thinw constitutionalist representation is not necessary to the success of mediation. In this view the mediator c-onoi.r- they also have indicated that upon the l mi&a ntates snould devolve the task ji treating jater with the constitu tionalists. The expectation here la tiint r nr. eral Carranza finally is permitted to e aeiegatea, lglesias Caldeon lead er of the Liberal party, and Dr.' Silva, Governor of the State of Michocan, each of whom is in Durango with Gen eral Carranza. and Luis Cabrera and Jtafael Zuburan, who are in Washing ton, will compose the constitutionalist delegation.

BOSSEN FACES TRIAL Eugene Man to Answer Charge of Wife Murder This Week.

Edward Bossen. indicted yesterday by the grand Jury on the charge of de liberate murder of his young wife, must stand trial this week. Thirty witnesses are being held In Eugene to appear against the man who is alleged to have killed the mother of his 9-months-old girl for the affections of her sister and. for insur ance money. Because of the cold-blooded charges of the District Attorney and because of scores of friends of the accused man who are emphatic in their declarations that he is innocent, the case will be eagerly vatched. The case before the District Attor ney is considered a difficult one. He must prove the existence of poison: he must prove that Bossen administered the poison and that the woman did not commit suicide, either intentionally or unintentionally, which some of Bos sen's friends hold; and he must prove that the woman died from poison and not any other causes. The witnesses said to be most im portant for the state are: Dollie Lev ins, pretty 21-year-old sister of the dead wife, -who alleges she heard the dying accusation of her sister, and the University of Oregon chemist, who passed nearly five weeks In an exami nation of he contents of the stomach. 800 MEN REPAIR ROADS BENTON COUNTY CITIZENS REPORT GREAT AMOUNT OF WORK.

DRESS MANDATE OPPOSED Mrs. Grace Wilbur Trout Voices Commendation of SMt Skirt. CHICAGO, May 27 Members of Chi cago women's clubs stood divided on a question of clothes to wear or not to wear the tight skirt, and silhouette gown. Announcement of the decree -which will be Issued against prevailing fash ions at the biennial convention of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, to be held in Chicago next month, did not meet entirely with the approval of the women who will act as hostesses during the sessions. The silt skirt is a sten In the rie-ht direction," announced Mrs. Grace Wil bur Trout, president of the Illinoin Equal Suffrage Association. "Modestv. of course, demands that the slit be not too conspicuous, . but for comfort a klrt that is narrow without prevent ing freedom in walking is. to mv mind. the fashion that is most commendable. The present skirts are certainly not any more ridiculous than the hoops of our grandmothers' day. I think event ually we will come to wear bloomers, which . will be the most sensible garb of all." Mrs. Laura G. Fixen took a stand directly opposite to that of Mrs. Trout on the dress problem. "Modern f&shions are leading young women closer and closer to the preci pice of Immodesty from which it is only a step to immorality," said Mrs. Fixen. "I never was so strongly convinced of this as on the bther evening when a young attorney declared that women who wore prevailing styles thought nothing of modesty." Members of the Woman's Party of Cook County declared that they would defer the buying of their Summer ward robes until after the biennial had ad journed and the fashion problem had been settled definitely. "We are going to wear all of our old clothes to the biennial," said Mrs. Char lotte C. Rhodus, "because we do not want to wear clothes that are going to be out of fashion later. The narrow skirt is not bad if not exaggerated, but the slit skirt is terrible." WESTS OFFICIAL RAPPED DISTRICT ATTORNEY SCORED BY C. KRKBS WHEN ACQUITTED. Ignorance or Malicious Prosecution Al leged Against RIngo by Portland Man Pound Not Guilty of Perjury. SALEM, Or., May 30 (Special.) Conrad Krebs, formerly of this city but now a resident of Portland, was ac quitted in the Circuit Court Friday nignc on a charge of perjury. The Jury was out only 15 minutes. At a former trial the jury was unable to agree. Mr. Krebs was accused of having tes titled falsely regarding an alleged con tract between his brother. John Krebs and himself. The contract was said to have a bearing on, a deed to land which John Krebs conveyed to his brother. Mr. Krebs Is a prominent hopgrower. and his brother also is engaged in the nop business. Mr. Krebs, In Portland last night, de clared that his prosecution in Salem was due. he believes, either to ignor ance or malicious conduct on the part or uisirtct Attorney Ringo. "The fact that there was nothing to the charges against me was shown by the action of the Jury," said Mr. Krebs. "I cannot understand why a grand jury will indict a man without evidence, and why a grand Jury will tolerate a propo sition calculated to put an innocent man to great expense and to persecute him. "I can assign my prosecution only to one reason, and that is that Mr. Ringo, an appointee of Governor West, is be ing used as a tool in the hands of capricious persons who have a private grudge against me. "I would like to have the public pick out the perjurer or perjurers. Both the grand jury and the District Attorney took oath that they would perform their duty. "I have been a resident of Oregon since 1887 and have always conducted myself honorably and have never been accused of wrongdoing. Possibly Mr. Ringo wants to make a reputation for nirasell at my expense, regardless of the ruination of my character. I believe the man who tears down character Is too vile to be put in the same class with murderers." Strawberries Cause Fight.
