Washington Yesterday Spent a
Day of "Watchful Waiting"
-Carranza Takes Own Time
(Hy Associated Pscss ?
Washington, June 4.-The Washing
ton government today waited on Car
ranza Insofar as progress in Mexican
/mediaron was concerned. It was
clearly apparent t hat the constitution
alist leader was expected to make th ;
next move in the diplomatic ne^ntia
tlenn toward settlement of Mexican
affairs.
-Washington olllcials today would not
discuss the situation for publication.
Jolin Lind conferred with the member:;
of Hie agency here, urging th"?m to use
their influence to have their chieftain
r-^elv favorably to the proposals of the
mediators.
I nuts Ca be rora, mentioned as a
prob?hie defecate to pesen conference
should Carranza agree to parti ci nate,
was in conf?rer? - with Mr. Lind for
sm-eral hours after which Cabera 'oin
ed IIIB colleagues.' Mr. Zub-sr?n. Jose
Vasconcelos and Juan F. t'rquidi.
While mediation waited on Carran
za, tin subject of ammunition hourn)
from tho Unit-id States for Carranza's
forces was uppermost in discussion In
official nuarters- It became known
that Admiral Rpdger lind been instruc
tor bv cabin to keep watch on He
city of Puerto Mexico, in view of re
?tc.vicon federal cunboats in Hie vle.in
ports from Mexico 'Mtv that Huortn
nronosed to prevent, if possible, thc
landing at Tampiro of munit'ons on
mute to Carranza on the Cuban steam
er Ant ll lu.
Naval officers expressed doubt as tn
whether the'Mexican boats cpuld nnin
with their, base of supplies so far re
moved. .
It ?as generally regarded here as
Mfc-'lv that uymtu/iUion shipments
would reach Tampico unmolested.
Conflicttnc statements as tn the
probable attitude of the United states
regarding shirments of arms to the
Mexican contending factions were dif
ficult to reconcile. TodavV. develop
ments threw little light on the sub
ject, though in some quarters the view
wa? experte! that tho American gov
ernment would endeavor tn nrevent
the delivery of arms to Carranza's
forces to Influence him to incline a
favorable ear toward peace proposals
at Niagara Falls. .
It is pointed out it would bo easy
for Admiral Hadger to stop any ammu
nition consignments from entering
Mexican ports if he were order-d to
do so, but while officials havo assert
ed the right to stop much shipments
at American ports, they have not yet
made up their minds to extend their
authority to thc high seas so as to prc
vent delivery.

story of hoi domestic WOCB before a
jury hearing her suit for divorce from
William Rupp. Jr., of New York.
Rapp, she raid, had been friendly to
a blonde lady in New York whom she
subsequently named as Mrs. Catha

Two depositions were read, one
from Mrs. Dean and one from a New
York detective, who told of numerous
visits to a Fifth Avenue restaurant
by M rt-. Dean and Rapp. According
to his deposition thc detective follow
ed Rapp many nights from his office
In West Thirty-Fourth street to varloua
places where he met Mrs. Dean.
In cross examinations Mrs. Schu
mann-Helnk frequently expostulated
with her husband's attorney.
Rapp charged In a cross bill that
hts wife had been too friendly with
other men. She dented thc accusa
tions. She said that, she never hud
any love for Edward McNamara, one.
time policeman, who visited her In
New Jersey. She declared he came

The singer told of a consultation

"I have just seen a telegram from

Alleges That Tillman and Blease
the Governor's Office-Snys Th
In an open letter. Senator John L.
McL.aui in comes hack in his old time
style discussing the John G. Rich
ards move in a characteristic man
ner. He says:
The report current that I have rc
tired from the gubernatorial race; thia
is not true, lt probably arose from
the fact that the public sees that (in
part) I have accomplished what I
set out lo do, restore harmon g among
our people. With peace and unity be
tween Governor Bleace and Senator
Tillman, I feel that 1 deserve the well
done, thou good - ami faithful -servant.
- V^?-tr^^fnator-Tillman, called, up
on mc~?o "?lo penance?' I was to sacri
fice myself by entering the cenatorial
race to compass the defeat of Blease
-for thio "atonement" my tins wore
to be forgiven me and the "enter thou
into thc joys of thy Lord" spoken la
ter. '
The role of thu "dog in the man
ger" has never appealed to me aa
either dignified or sensible. The idea
of sacrifice, however, commends it
self rpriritually. and it ls a grand
thing to be in thc company nf the most
illustrious of ali ages.
It han been apparent since 1912
that a determined effort would be
made to abridge suffrage in the pri
mary. I looked upon this as pecul
iarly dangerous nt thal ?'r'O, besides
being opposed lo the spilM . the age,
which favors extension. :< :. testric
llon on suffi age.
Why He Went (?ter.
I believed that the only way to pre
vent it was openly and boldly .sup
port Governor Blease; to magnify his
power and add to his strengt li, so that
with all the election machinery in his
hands, no convention would dare place
the'poor and ignorant white man on
thc same harts with the negro in the
general election.
Thc late convention went as far as it
could without disrupting the party,
und I have no apologies to make. I did
what I thought was right.
In 1912 and since there has been
a systematic effort to defeat Governor
Blease by destroyig him as a man,
not as a politician. Every man sup
porting him was written down eith
er ar. a knave or as ignorant.
There was a cry about money being
paid for pardons. Burns raked the
State with his detectives armed with
a devilish dictograph. They dangled
a $15.000 fee in front of a drunk law
yer's , eyes and God knows they are
greedy .enough .sober.
What' did they get? Not a word of
proof to confirm false and slanderous
charges.
Such a sentiment was worked up
through the press and stories circu
lated by word of mouth that thousands
of people today really look upon Gov.
Blease as thc lowest., meanest mun
who ever trod 3outb Carolina.
What is the result? A versatile and
shrewd politician has taken advantage
of these conditions to transform him

t<-r senator here than If Uleuse should
be sent to Washington.
"Of course McLaurin is swinging on
tt) Blouse's coat tail in a desperate
hope that he will by this be pulled
through and elected governor, but as
I predicted some months ago. there is
iio hope for bis ever recovering the
confidence uf the people of South
Carolina unless he bas expiated his
past misdeeds uud sins. 1 am satis
fied nov that if Senator Smith bears
himself like a man. th is open alliance
between Blease and McLaurin will
only help to bury both of them. Hud
McLaurin followed my advice and ex
posed Bleusisni, its utter selfishness.
; its lack of catholicity of spirit s .d
I statesmanship, he would have stood
j some chance of 'coming back' in the
. future, for he would have atoned for
Iiis betrayal of the people of the state.
I But there is no earthly chance for him,

In the judgment of the trade, is abso

and this is a true likewise of all spot

"The whole purpose of Hie hill is
