11 IE HI A MAY HE ?1LM\(;
TO ELIMINATE HIMSELF !
Jiitim.ition That He Will Retire if
>eee*sary President Sees End
of Problem.
Washington. May IS.?Presiden
Wilson today told the American commissioners
who leave tomorrow for
the mediation conference at -Niagara j
Falls, Ont., that the United States j
guveriiiuem regarus me strneaicut ui j
the -Mexican problem in a definite i
form as a prerequisite to he with- j
(lrawal of the American forces from
Vera Cruz.
The president gave the Amenacn
commissioners?Justice Lamar of the
supreme court of the United Sta;es;
Frederick W. Lehmann. former solic- j
itor general and diplomatic secre- j
tarv H. Percival Dodge, no specific!
instructions. He told them to place j
themselves in a receptive mood and !
await proposals from lie three South i
-American mediators. But at the |
same time he outlined to his represen- |
tatlves that peace in Mexico seemed .
to him to be conditional on 'he elim
inution of the Huerta administration,
and the establishment in its place of;
a s'.rong provisional government,,
which would conduct isn 'dec ion giv-"
i
ing .'air treatment Jo ali factions and
parties and guaranteeing, moreover,:
i
a solution of the agrarian problem and ,
other internal difficulties which have j
bred revolution 1:1 lie Sotuhern re- i
public during the las? t'ir<e years.
Must Be Inclusive.
The president wishes the Mexican j
question settled 011 comprehensive,
lines that will take into account the 1
economic pri iciples for which Zapa-;
ta in the South, as well as Oarranza !
'
in the Xorth have been fighting aid j
at the same ri-.ic will conserve the j
righTjI in'erest.s of the r-e? pie in th.>
i
territory now controlled by the Huer- \
ta government.
During the day a dispatch came to '
one of tue foreign diplomats here
from a diplomatic source in Mexico J
City staing that Gen. Huerta was |
ready to resign and would permit his
representatives at the mediation to
eliminate him if it should become i
absolutely necessary, intima.ions ihat
have come from the three Huerta
delegates since their visit to this
country showed that they had realized
Huerta's elimination was regarded ab j
essential to a settlement. The Huerta
delegates, too, it is learned from per- 1
? -vvhr* "nuv?> tstlkpfi with rVlPITl. 1111- I
derstan^ throughly ;ha the scope of
mediation n>\v comprises the entire
Mexican problem.
Heady to Yield.
They are said to be ready to rec-!
ommend Huerta's retirement, but only
on the condition tha: a definite understanding
is reached on the kind of
government that is to follow. !
According to this information from
Mexico City Huerta at firs: au'hor-1
ized the delegates to discuss only the
question of the Tampico conflict lead- ;
?iii? to the American occupation of'
t * Vera Cruz. Later the Mexican dictator,
it is explained came to rec^g- i
nize the necessity of a broader settlement
and th: n conveyed to the dele- j
gates assurances that he was pre- j
pared to step down should this course
be found necessary by them.
The problem causing chief concern
10 diplomats in Mexico City now j
is that of the form of administration
to be established during the interim
before a constitutionally elected president
could assume office. Xo inti-j
mations concerning the name of a;
possible successor to Huerta were con- i
tainPd in the dispatch, this subject'
being one in which it would be neces-;
sary to consul: the opinions of consti-j
tutionalists and other leaders in Mex- j
ico.
DISTRESSING AKIDEST

Xews and Courier.
Barnwell, May 19.?A most distressing
acciden: occurred'a few miles j1
from Barnwell Saturday morning, j
when the little daughter of Mr. Henry!!
Creeph had one of her feet entirely!
severed and the other one nearly so by I
I
a mowing machine driven by her fath- j
er. |1
The lit:le girl, according to informa- j
tion received here, had carried some j1
fresh drinking water to her father,;:
who was cutting oa:s in a nearby j;
field. While she was standing near the ;
mowing machine the mule? became;
unmanageable and dashed off. In a ;
twinkling the sharp blade had coin- I
pletely severed one of the fee:, the i
other one being cut almost off.
Medical attention was hurriedly i'
summoned and the little sufferer rush- '
ed to a Columbia hospital where it is
reported here, she died yesterday
morning.
The father of the child, who is said ; ]
to have been an unusually bright little ;1
girl, is frantic with grief over the de-; j

Aniazimr Story of His Domination Told

at Dictator's Word.
Washington, May 19.?A story of;
lie late -J. P. Morgan's absolute domi-j
nation in affairs of the New Haven j
railroad, of the spending of millions !
in awed and ignorant sile.ice at the j
command of the all-powerful finan-1
cial ruler was told ;o the interstate j
c:mme: ce commission today by j
Charles S. Mellen. former presiden; of!

traordinarv chapter yet unfolded in j
the commission's inquiry into the al
leged exploitation of the great New i
England railroad and disappearance!
oi' fortunes from its treasury through
acquisition at extravagant prices of i
subsidiaries' properties.
There was not time in a single day
in which to crowd ail the incidents |
and events dealt \vj?h in the witness";
es>timony. He barely touched on some :
ot the big things, paving the way for i
exhaustive questioning that will con- J
tinue tomorrow.
I
Members ot the commission conn-;
sel and interested spectators fairly .
hung on every word of Mr. Mellon to- ;
day as his story developed drama i- i
cally under the examination by Chie. |
Counsel Folk.
An Amazing1 St<>ry. :
Everybody listo.ied with absorbed i
attention and at tini s evident amaze-j
nient as he related how he had s o-d;
in awe o:' Mr. Morgan, because of his !
comprehensive grasp and perfect '
prescience of financial matters; how j
he had consul.ed with ilheodore ;
Roosevelt, then president of the1
I'nited States, regarding the purchase j
01" the Boston & Maine railroad; how i
he had preven ed the late E. H. Harriman
from acquiring the Bos.on 6c
Maine by getting it himself for the
Xew Haven; and how he had deal:
with tiie late police inspector, Thomas

1 . I nto v/i ?< * w* *?., w ?v vv*.M ,
Wes'chester stock held by persons
whom he assumed to be connected
with Tammany Hall.
As when cn the s and last week,
Mr. Mellen gave his testimony with
apparent willingness, answering every
question readily and concisely?that
is every question excep: one. He did
try to avoid telling; about :he time
when Mr. Morgan humiliated him by
brusquely refusing to give him information
concerning the Westchester
transaction to which he though:, as
president of the New Haven, he was
entitled.
Shows His Wrath.
When he finally related the incident.
his face was drawn into hard
lines, and he clasped his hands over
the table in front of him almost convulsively.
His voice indicaied 110
sisns of emotion however.
Later he even gave the story a
touch of humor. When Directors
Hemingway and Skinner of the New j
Haven demanded of him why the road
was expending $11,000,000 on the
Westchester purchase, he said he offered
to appoint each of them a committee
of one to find out; that he had j
"barked his shins'' in a futile en- j
? ' r* _ X? > T I
deavor to odiphi inrorma;un iron .ur. ;
Morgan and that rhev could try it if
they desired.
"They ducked," concluded Mr. Mellen,
grimly, and a ripple of appreciative
laughter ran around the hearing
room.
Particular interes: was aroused by j
Mr. Mellen's account of his conference j
with the then presiden', Col. Roose-;
velt, repecting the acquisition of the 1
Boston & Maine. He explained that!
he was a great admirer of Col. Roosevelt,
and frequently conferred with
him about important questions.
Colonel Wouldn't Help.
Col. Rjosevelt said to him at thatj
conference, according to the resti- j
mony, that he was not a lawyer and j
was not prepared to advise him what i
to do about me proposed purchase,
but on Mr. Mellen's statement of 'he
situation he said there might be noth- j
ing objectionable in it. Mr. Mellen j
testified that the president said that,!
he could countenance no illegal ac-!
Lion in the matter, and suggested that
he confer with Commissioner Lane
of the interstate commerce commission.
From Mr. Lane, he said, he go:j
no expression of opinion.
A letter was submitted by Mr. Folk, j
Tv ritten on May 21, 1^07, by Henry j
W. Whitney to Mr. Mellen, suggesting !
that he "say something at an early j
date touching the Boston & Maine j
matter," and "a large public is still
to be reckoned with;" and concluding
with this paragraph:
Afraid of Public.
"I have thought it possible the
little father' at Washington might :
[ike to get his finger into the pie, in j
which event, if it should happen before
the public should become reccn;i?ed
to 'ie change, it might resuk in
nfinite harm fco all yottr interests." '
