TO SEE JUDGE LINDSEY
NKW YOItK. May 23 John D
Rockefeller, r., put an end today to
rumors of a proposed conterenco
with Judgo lien II, l.lndsey of Den
ver, rclatlvo to tho Colorado strike
situation, by stating, through his
secretary, tho lutervloxv would never
take place.
NIAGARA FAM.S, Ont.. May 23.
Announcement was made today that
tho first full conference hotwron tho
mediators and both tho American and
Mexican deleicates would bo ttoid to
night. It was arranged at tho request or
tho Mexican delegates, who met tho
mediators Informally this morning,
after which tho South American
mediators sent for thn American
delegates to consult thorn about tho
matter.
It Is understood that tho envoys
felt confident of being able to re
move such obstacles as had delayed
proceedings during the consideration
of preliminary measures.
Tho sudden calling of a full ses
sion for tonight was not expected by
tho American delegates. They had
made no plans for a meeting today,
Tho envoys of South America had ona'
talk with tho Mexican delegates and
It was generally thought notlilag
more would occurr today. Shortly
thereafter the Mexican delegates re
quested an audience with tho media
tors and as the result of this second
talk tho announcement wan made
that preliminaries had been suffi
ciently smoothed out. to Justify for
mal cessions of all tho principals to
the mediation.
While It Is plain tho South Ameri
can mediators of tho Mexican situa
tion aro cngcr ttt proceed as rapid
ly as possible and are dorotlng hard
work and longs hours to their ef
forts, they reallzo that definite es
tablished results must como without
unduo haste.
It seems there has been some dif
ficulty In getting tho parties to the
conferenco to agreo concerning an es
sential phase of tho preliminaries.
Tho mediators decllno to dlscloso
tho character of tho difficulties which
aro causing delay but aro continuing
their effort to bring tho Americas,
and Mexican delegates together on
common grounds.
