While the mediators were determin ing to close the door of tho conference to Carranza, President Wilson and Secretary of State Bryan held a pro -traded conference at thc Willie Hous?\ They were in frequent communication with the American commissioners at Niagara Falls, and following these in terchanges, Mr. Brypn reiterated that mediation was "progressing satisfac torily."

Mr. Bryan said, witch ask ed concerning the late reports fio.u Niagara Falls, "but there i.s nothing for me to say." The fact that General Carranza had forwarded no answer to the latest communication from tho mediators hud been regarded in some quarters here for several days ao an indication 'oat he did not intend to participate In med iation which would require a cessa tion of hostilities against Huerta.

The apprehension of General Puns ton over rumors of a possible federal advance outposts at Vera Cruz has be come u matter of grave concern to war department oMlcluls. Thc general anx ? iety is increased by knowledge that a stron-; rebel force ls operating in Vera Cruz state.

McKENNA'S SPEECH IN COMMONS INTERRUPTED ACTS OF MILITANTS Confusion Occurred when Legis lators Were Discussing the Women Situation (Hy Associated Press) London. June ll.-Militant suffra gettes ringed one of the most dramatic acts of their campaign today when they exploded a bomb in Westminster Abbey at the ver.r moment the Hight Hon. Reginald McKenna, secretary of state for home affairs-, was delivering an optimistic speech In the House of Common? nearby, regal ding the gov ernment's method of dealing with "the wild woman." The bomb was placed beside thc fa mous coronation chair in Edward The Confessor's Chapel. Although it did little damage the report penetrated to the House chamber, interrupting Mr. McKonnn"s oration and hi Inging members into tho rt root to learn what hud happened. A statement issued by Scotland Yards gives the facts in a conservative form. "At 5 o'clock" says the statement, "a small bomb was exploded in Imme diate proximity to the coronation chair. It is suppered some member of a large parly of sightseers lagged be hind the rest and deposited the bomb when the others had left the chapel. "The damage done was slight. A portion of the carved wood at the back of thc chair waa blown off and some of the stone carving of the screen of thc great altar was damaged. "Thc bomb, thin metal, nickel plated, was exploded by a fuse. A woman's feather boa, a guide book and a : mail black silk bag were found on a chair nearby. The pieces blown off can be put together again." Reginald McKenna, the bom* secretary, announced in the House cf Commons to-day that he hoped the government had. obtained sufficient evidence .to.. erjablc it. to bring suit against subscribers to thc funds ot the militant suffragette or ganization. He added the further hope that the government would be able to make the subscribers liable for the full extent of the damage done hy "arson siinnds," destroyers of mail and pic ture Blushers. The announcement was made in re sponse to bitter criticism of the In activity of the government against what Lord Robert Cecil described as "nothing less than anarchy," for which in his opinion, thc only real remedy was deportation. Mr. McKenna pleaded that thc gov ernment faced a situation absolutely without precedent. The number of women actually engaged in commit ting crimes connected with thc mili tant suffragette movement is small, he said, but sympathizers are numer ous. He admitted the crimes were in creasing :n.jcriot sness an 1 he recog nized tho sense of public Indignance against the militant suffragettes, moro I especially In regard to their rudeness to King George and Queen Mary. 1 In discussing various reasons for ! dealing with the militants, the home ? secretary said he believed tho "lot them die" policy would act only as* u greater incentive to militancy and would in due course lead to a reac tion in public opinionx Deportation, he considered impracticable. As to treating the 'suffragettes as lunatics, Mr. McKenna said he could not ask Parliament to sanction an act defining people as lunatics who had not been medically certified as such. The last pronoBltion. he said, was to give womer, thc vote, but ho thought that could not be seriously considered as a remedy for existing conditions. Mr. McKenna showed he had an abiding faith in the "cat and mouse" act. He denied that many of tho crimes attributed to suffragettes had been committed by women released under that law. Some of those re leased he said, had abanodned mili tancy; others had fled the country. Thc homo secretary appealed to tho newspapers to cease reporting suffra gette outrages and thus deprive the militants of advertisement, which, he maintained, was the main-spring of their existence Many of these women, he said, aro hysterical fanatics who aro possessed ?of a courage that, would .'risk.anything. Many of thom wanted to die to gain what they believed to bc >martyrdom. Advertisement of their acts was a thing they desired above all. Mr. McKenna urged the prosecution of subscribers to the militant funds. "If this succeeded,' tho home secre tary said, "there ia no doubt that the day or militancy would be over. What ever may be the difference of feelings regarding the 'hunger strikers' thero can be ho doubt aa to what the feel ing is with regard to the wealth -wom en who pay these women by the week to commit crimes. If we succeed in these, actions lt means the destruction of thc Women's Political and Social Union and we shall sed the last of Mrs. Pankhurst." , COURT HOUSE PACKED VTO HEABJGfDIDATES "THEY'RE OFF" IN MUNICI PAL CAMPAIGN GOOD ARGUMENTS ri House Could!'
