The confer ence which it is hoped will settle all differences between Generals Carranza and Villa formally opened in tho Banco le f'oahnila building here today. Villa was represented by General J. Isabel Robles, Pr. Miguel Silva and Manuel Bonilla. The delegates for General Gonzales, the rebel east coast commuuder, were generals Antonio and Jjftzaro Villarenl and Cesario Castro. General Obregon, in command of tho west coast, telegraphed that he was Hcnding three envoys also but did not give their names. Nobody appeared directly for Gen eral Carranza but Gonzales and Obregon announced that they supported him, so it was inferred that their emissaries would care for his interests, making it unnecessary 1'or him to send separate representatives. Assuming tho Gonzales and Obregon envoys to bo as loyal to Carrauza as they professed to be, this gave the lat . tor six of the nine delegates presont. There waa of course - the. possibility, however, that Tilla would refuse to be bound by any arrangoment which gave him materially less than he demands. Ammunition, control of the railroads in northern Mexico, fuel to run the locomo tives and provisions for his men, his supporters said he absolutely must have or his campaign against Mexico City could not go on. Asked for a statement Villa himself mid: "I do not want to discuss the situation until the conference submits its findings. I hope this controversy j will be settled satisfactorily so that we may resume our advance on Quertato and Mexico City." The general added that the split in the rebels' ranks had resluted in re newed activity on the federals' part. At today's "meeting only preliminary business was discussed, pending the ar rival of General Obregon's representa tives.

Vera Cruz. Mex., July 4. Mexican twitposts at Laar fired scores of sky- rockets enrlv toilav. evidently in cele - bration of the Fourth of July. The company of American marines nearest tr them were unable to return the nnex - f-ceted compliment owing to lack of fireworks. The Vera Cruz for"es ' cele- hration included a program of sports.

The only renl-and-only "Motorcycle Mike" is a Salem boy by the name of R. V. Sefton, the quick-service em ploye of The Journal. Sefton has a record for climbing fences, ladders and most every sort of an incline with his motorcycle, but his latest Btunt occur red last Wednesday when he mounted the side veranda of Dave G. Drager'a house on Seventeenth street and calm ly knocked the panels out of the door with his gas wheel. - It seems that Sefton was unable to work the throttle on his motorcycle as he was rounding the corner at Seven teenth and State Btrects. Not having a great desire to hit tho curb broaasido, and finding it impossible to "get in the clear" at the speed he was going, the rider took a flying leap over tho curb ing and, still unable to bring tho mo torcycle to a halt, sped through somo rose bushes growing along the parking and took a strr-ight shoot down Mr. Drager'a lawn. Sefton exerted every effort in the attempt to stop his wheel, but it ept chugging away. The plucky rider stayed with the machine, however, and it finally arrived at the side steps of Mr. Drager's dwelling, which were six feet high. Up tho steps Sefton guided the motorcycle and, af ter bursting the panels out of the door, he fell off and the busy much i no died in its tracks, evidently exhausted from the lively run. Sefton was not hurt, the machine safe and sound, and Mr. Drager's side door considerably smashed up were tho results. Sefton lugged his wheel back into the street, gave it a few jabs in the ribs, and went his way. Mr. Drnger stated yesterday that he didn't mind having callers, but he ab solutely cannot get used to them bring ing their rifcs in the house. TWO CHECK ARTISTS ARE SENT TO THE PEN Alfred Johnson and H. II. Oilman, two bad check men, were taken ,to tho penitentiary this morning by Sheriff isiH lu uriu eerwiig Bt-uiuiici-a VI iiuill live years in both cases. John' son was arrested Thursday of this week and immediately taken before the grand jury, which found a true bill against him. He expressed the wish yesterday to enter a plea of guilty to the charge of obtaining goods under false pretenses but would not plead guilty to a forgery charge. His attorney pointed out that Johnson merely offered the check in payment for the goods and said at that time that if the check was not accepted he would not purchase a suit of clothes in addition to the shoes that he had bought. It was a fine distinction between ob taining goods under false pretenses and offering a forged check for pay ment but the difference in sentences to these charges is in the case of one from one to five years and on a forgery chargo the sentence is from two to 20 years. The only witness against John ! a ci : er l-,. , K .1 i. . i .1 : .. outi nets tjiieuiA coi:u, nmi u,r ficauiug guilty and waiving all rights to a jury trial the cost of lodging Johnson in the penitentiary was the 10 cents carfare that it cost Sheriff Ksch to take his prisoner to the penitentiary.

SHERIFF "ARRESTS" A BIG CORPORATION The Great Northern Express com pany was arrested last night by Sher iff Eseh on a charge of transporting ithe label of the express companv had I been pasted over the liquor label anil covering the latter up. When the job of arresting this huije : corporation was presented to the alier- iff he frankly admitted that it was a 1 new line of nrocediire. He was entire- ly familiar with the methods of serving civil warrauts upon corporations, but 1 how to arrest one on a criminal charge j was a different matter. The prosecut - j ing attorney was unable to settle the : question as' it would be improper to I arrest the .Salem agent of the corpora - himself was not even an accomplice. ! n"t nenevc in popular government, uut The matter was finally settled by , I do believe in democrary, not only for calling the ayent up and informing him ! the United States, but for other coun that his companv was arrested. The ! tries which are struggling for their lib- agent promised to take' the matter up with the heads of the corporation and ! seek out the proper man to be arrested. ! ' TO MEET NEXT MONTH, ! i Sacramento, Cal., July 4. Sally Sal- vjn!ore, king of the coast lightweight our rounders, and Johnny O'Leary, Cai adian champion, will meet here next month in a 20-round bout ' PHtSIDENT IKES NEW OECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE "I Consider It Patriotic to Re spect Country Honor More Highly Than Prosperity" THE MEXICAN PEOPLE NEVER HAD A LOOX-IN Our Flag Represents Justice and Right to Other People as Well as to Ourselves l'hiladelphia, July 4. President Wil son was the principal figure in the Fourth of July celebration here today and his speech was by far its most im portant feuture. The president delivered it from tho grandstand in Independence Square, standing before tho old colonial table nn which the Declaration of Independ ence itself was sights. An audience of thousands heard it. "The Declaration of Independence," said tho chief executive, "was not a Fourth ol July oration. It was declar ation tf war. It wus a very specific document concerning the business of thj day not the business of our day. "Tho declaration means nothing to us unless we append it to what wo think our liberty consists of. We must translate it to fit -uv conditions. If we would revitalize it, we must fill it with n bill of particulars for 1914." Thea the president proceeded to fur- uisU "the bill of particulars" of which he gpoke, He denlt f ir!it with the MW currency law "Bad Law" Proves Good. It was universally admitted." he said, "that tho banking system of this country needed to be changed. When we sinned io cnange it we met witn hardly anything but criticism and op position from the bankers. But as soon as the act waa passed there was uni versal applause from them. If it waa wrong the day before it was passed, why was it right after it had passed!" Next the speaker came to Mexico. "What," he asked, "are we going to do with the influence and power of this nation! "If we used it for our own aggran- mil-mem, ii woum mean tnat we ex pected other countries to suffer what we did in 1776. "There is none more interested than I in the future of America's business, but if American enterprise in foreign c6untries, and especially in countries which are unable to resist us, takes the shape of imposing upon the masses of their people, it ought to be stopped. "You know what a big problem there is in Mexico. Eighty-five per cent of the people have never had a look-in in the affairs of their government. Do you suppose that circumstance has not been in my thought! Honor Demanded Tolls Treaty. "When Americans once know what is at stake in Mexico, they will know what ought to be done there. "I would be asliumed of this flag" nnd the president pointed to the stars and stripes "if it were permitted to do anything outside America that we would not permit it to do here. "I consider it .patriotic to respect the country's honor more highly than its prosperity. "The Panama canal tolls treaty may have been a mistake, but its meaning was unmistnkable. Honor demanded that we sacrifice something to show we knew what that meaning was. "I do not think it hurts any one seriously. I am not enthusiastic for subsidies or monopolies, but I am en thusiastic to keep 'America 'a name un sullied. "Popularity is not always patriot ism. It is patriotic to serve the coun try by not selling nur souls. Not a Holiday in '78. "The Fourth of July, 17"i, was not a holiday. Those men knew that if j t,,e.v f"'11 ihey KOnll he hanged for treason, but they knew the way to : success was to show they were not ; afraid of anyone except God and his i judgments. . "If I did not believe that the moral ; judgment would be final in the minds i of m,'n 08 in the minl of God. I would I erty. j "To drink of this original fountain f liberty is to renew the blood in a man's veins, "My dream is that as the world comes to know America better, it also will drink of this fountain and receive : from America moral strergth."

AUTHORITIES THINK THE WIFE IS GUILTY Doctor's Wife la Watched and the Officers Think She Did the Shooting While Prompted by Jealousy. Freeport, N. Y., July. 4. Mrs. Ed ward Carman, wife of the physician in whose office Mra. William Bailey was shot to death through a window Tues day night, was under strict surveilance in her home today. The authorities made no attempt to conceal the fact that they suspected her, ana Mrs. Carmen understood it per fectly. She remained perfectly calm, however, and apparently had no fears for the future. She waa given to un derstand that, if she tried to leave homo, she would be arrested, not on a murder charge but as an important wit ness. Before the coroner' yesterday after noon, Mrs. Carman denied the slightest knowledge. of the mnrdor, that she was in the least jealous of Mrs. Bailey or that she had ever seen her before her death. Hundreds of curious outsiders were in Freeport today gazing at the Car man residenco and discussing the trag- euy witn villagers on the street cor ners.

According to City Detectives Tiche nor and Moloney, Dean was trying to cash a check for 42000 on a San Fran cisco bank when arrested. Hmall, in a pitiable condition, was removed to the emergency hospital. SALEM CELEBRATED. With stores cloned and the inhabitants of the city scattered to the four corners of the compass in search of recreation and opportunity to celebrate the glor ious Fourth in a sane or an insane way Salem is more like a deserted city than anything else. Compared with its usual hustling streets, the silence of tho morgue reigns while only a few who have to remain at the post of duty to keep tho wheels running smoothly wend their ways through the devious paths of the municipality. Automobiles, motorcycles, trains, both steam and electric, and canoes, took the people from tho city to the haunts of nature or to Other places where patriotic citizens gather to make the eagle scream an ) shatter the air with bursting bombs. Large numbers of Halem people went to Eugeno this morning on the 9 o'clock train. Three coaches were loaded to the guards with pleasure seekers. Ninety left for Albany, 00 for Woodburu. and about 200 for Portland. Silver ('reek Falls took a large num ber, while hundreds left yesterday and today by auto for the coast.

What was all along suspected hero is proved by lnt est advices to have been true tho re cent looting of Knlgan, 125 miles north west of Pekin, was the result of an army mutiny, Disaffection among tho government troops was regarded, hero as a very ominous sign for President Yuan Mii Kai'g regime. There have been ru mors for some time that the army's in ability to put down tr.c White Wolf revolt in central nnd northwestern China was due to constant wholsnlu do sertions of the soldiers to the White Wolves' ranks. Definito news that similar or worse conditions prevailed among the troops in Pekin 's vicinity wus looked on as giving tho situation a still graver as pect. Though it was stated that President Yuan had replaced tho mutinous, gar rison with a fresh forco from Pekin, re gained control and executed 150 of the mutineers, It was clear that a large body must bo still out of hand and probably roaming the north as a band of well-armed and disciplined brigands, since at least 0000 men revoltod and none had returned to duty and only a comparatively small number waa ac counted for as having been killed.

WOLF GANG TWO BOYS DROWN AT ALBANY LAST NIGHT Pulmotora - Bushed to Albany From Salem But All Efforts to Resuscitate the Lads Wars Futile. Life is the most precious thing in the world and that is the reason why auto mobiles from alem and Eugene rushed pulmotora with all speed to Albany yes terday evening iu an effort to save the lives of the two sons of L. T. Shipley, government architect in ch -go of the construction of the federal building there, who were drowned in the Cala pooia river. But in spite of the fact that the pulmotor was rushed from here to Albany in 45 minutes by John Mauror, proprietor of tha Maurer gar age, D. A. Wright and Dave Pugh, oper ator of the pulmotor, all efforts to re suscitate tho two lads were fruitless. Aoel Shipley, agod nine years, was wading in the lalapooia river at Albany when he stepped into a deep hole and went under. Edward Shipley, awed 11, when he saw his brother bo under hero ically went to the rescue and as a result both are doad as neither could swim. The bodies were recovered after an hour's search. Grappling irons wero used and by this means they were re covered. A high powered automobile from Eu gene also brought a pulmotor but whon it arrived it was evident that the lifo- spark had fled from the older boy. Tho Salem machine was tried on the young er lad, who was recovered 15 minutes after going down, but without avail. It was a wild race over the rough country roads on tho part of tho Salem men. John Maurer, who took a new machine, drovo it with such speed that the top was jarred looso so that it fell by the roadside to bo picked up later. Tho men returned yesterday evening about 10::i(). Mr. Shipley was profuse in his expressions of gratitude to all who had made such heroic attempts to save the lives of his sons. BUILDING WRECKED; SANE JULY FOURTH New York. July 4.
