Venustlano Carranza, through which Carranza's represen tatives would be admitted to the me diation conference at Niagara Falls, were given out here to-day by Fer nando Iglesias Calderon, chief of tlie Liberal party in Mexico, en route.to Washington In connection with the Mexican problem. Aside from the armistice feature which Carranza refused to consider. Calderon said it was demands con cerning disposal of religious ques tions and the time when elections should take place which greatly in terested the Constitutionalists. According to the statement of the Liberal party leader to-day, the Uni ted States demanded that all prop erty of the Catholic church confis cated by the Constitutionalists should bo returned to the church, ?that buildings destroyed should be paid for, that priests should be pro tected and that priests driven from the country should be allowed to re turn. To this Carranza replied, ac cording to Calderon's statement, that the Constitutionalist laws of reform provided that all church property should go to the State when needed and also that the prists must go. Calderon stated also JJiat Carranza refused to accede to the demand for elections as soon as the revolution is ended. His reply to that, according to the statement, was that elections could not take placo until banditry had ceased; therefore, he would not agree to holding an election until several leaders now classed as ban dits bad been crushed. Another demand, according to the statement, was that Huerta should he protected, to which Carranza is re ported to have replied that accord ing to the Aztec law Huerta must die and the Constitutionalist chief re fused to acquiesce In the demand. That Carranza also refused to ob ligate the Constitutionalists to pay debts Incurred by the Huerta gov ernment, was another assertion in cluded in the Calderon statement.

The board of trustees, composed of rep resentatives from the Synods of South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, 'JO in number, were promptly pres ent and took a docp Interest in studying the work of the Institution as conducted during <the past year and providing for the year to come. The reports showed the comple tion of the Thos. M. Jones Memorial building, known as the Thornwel? Museum, and 'the removal to it of the Museum proper. Also the com pletion (ready for the Installation of tho heating plant and the water plant) of the Les h Infirmary, a large three-story building 50 by 103 feet; also the construction of a large and woll furnished barn, and the comple tion, after three years' work, of the sewerage and water plant. These improvements add very much to tho safety, health, convenience and suc cess of the Thornwell Homes. The board had many important items up for discussion. One of these, perhaps the most Important, was the proposition to raise the scholarship fund of $100,000, the interest only to be used, and the ob ject being to bear the officia] ex pense of the home, exclusive of the care of the children. The expense will cover specially thc matrons' and teachers' salaries, and will carry in fact, all the work done for the or phans, excepting their food and clothing, lt was decided to push the matter ai once, and the local boara was asked to take it up. Within 36 hours of the adoption of this resolu tion, a check for $1,000 was received by the president, to go to this en dowment fund. lt comes from a friend who asks that his name be kept out of the papers. The work of Rev. J. D. Branch in the institution was fixed as professor in Thornwell College, editor of the Thornwell Messenger and supervisor of the discipline of the children. His official title ls that of supervisor. The Lesh Infirmary is to be open ed on the first of September. The board approved the suggestion that the next building to be erected shall be fi Roys' Association building, a rogular boys' club house under Christian management, and of the character of the building needed by the Y. M. CA. lt will cost not more than from $5,000 to $6,000, and will not be erected until some good friend of the fatherless boys decides to build this institute at his own charges. The cost of sustaining the home ls about $32,000 a year. The year closed without debt. Only One "BROMO QUININE?* To get the genuine, ca]| for f "n name, LAXA TIV? ?ROMO QUININE.
