NEXT QUESTION LIKELY TO INFLUENCE DECISION OF AMERICAN GOVT HUERTA IS SILENT American Commissioners Hopeful That Camala's Constituion alists May Get In - fBy Aisoc-lated Pres9.? Niagara Falls, Ont., May 30.-A cri sis In the' progress of the- mediation ' proceedings was reached tonight.) While awaiting answers from the Hu erta government and the United States | to the tentative plan for a new pro visional government in Mfexlco the] question of admitting constitutional ists to conferences before an agree-1 raient or protocol ts? signed, loomed up as likely to influence t'<o derision of the American government on the plans | already outlined. The mediators late today ca1 le-J lui the Mexican delegates to learn if Gen eral Huerta had aprroved the tn-jln points of the peace plan, Thc Mexi can? said they liad received no reply, but they telegramed again, urging a . a quick response. Tho Amor'can del egates reported that Washington had not acted on the plan. The South American diplomats did not broach the subject of constitution- f allst representation to the Mexicans pr" ; show them the note delivered here yes- ] terday by Joan Uruldl, a messenger of > Carransa. The mediators however, let it be ! known that they would answer the note. They pointed out that they had found nothing In the note which could ' be interpreted as a desire to oartlcl- t pate in the conferences on the sub ject of pacifying Mexico. They hold that General Carranza has not Indicated a desire to take up Internal questions. On the other hand it is said that tho Washington govern- ? ment agrees with General Carranza. I Withdrawal ot the Invitation to bimi to send delegates and the failure of. tho mediators to answer an inquiry as ' to what points would be treated in ' the negotiations left General Carransa . In the position of not having anything I on which be could act I Mr. Urquidl talked with Mr. L?6s? mann early in the day. The American commissioners say, [ they' have not been shown the Carrah za not but 'they are hopeful that a j way may be found to bring constitu-1 tlonallsts tonight with the mediators, . Intimations havo como here that the I United States does not wish' to run . the risk of strained relations with the - constitutionalists, who would be cer tain to resent any radical adjustment., of internal affairs. It ls becauBe bf this situation that the Americans de sire that the constitutionalists ba' brought Into the mediation. The im pression prevails that Anal answer of the United States on the essential of the peace plan will not be given until there ls definite unedrstandtng on thia ?point v I - Th Huerta delegates have left the J matter of constitutionalist representa-.] ?cn entirely to the mediators. J Unless the American government as:. sumes an Insistent attitude on con- { stitutionalist representation, details of j the agreement between the United States and the Huerta government will be worked out In a few days. Oth erwise the mediation board will prob ably sit for several weeks longer. Washington, May 30.-Every'indlca Uou In Washington tonight pointed to prolongation of Mexican mediation ne- > gotlations at Niagara Falls. It Is ; known that the, Washington govern- i nient desires the Mexican Consiitu tfcsnallsts : represented In the pro ceedings tending for peace. The view .of the administration is said to be that (erma of peace for Mexico, which will not be permanent peace, g^t'asolees. Administration leaders cogo-?ant of the view, tonight reiterated confidence .that the mediation conference would I (not adjourn until the pathway to aa adjustment pf the whole Mexican steal ssa had been reached. After tho mediators today had ac IfaintM fha aismassn from Goners] Car rjSnxa, chief of the Constitutionalists, carried to Niagara Falls by Juan Ur quidl, ft wag reported that the Huerta delegates had decided they would now abide hv any rWUIiia tba mediator* might make ax to receiving' Carranza t delegates into th? conference. This I with the facts that the Washington ! flrovern.nenf wis eager that tbe <MW? catutionaliata be. represented, war r talion to indicate there might be a broadening of the scope of the con ference before the signing of any protocol which Would lead to the pro visional government * for Mexico in substitution for the Huerta regime. Constitutionalists representatives in Washington asserted-that nothing had como from General Carranza since the delivery of his message to tbe medi ators. They however, insisted, that any plan for provisional government which did not recognize the strength of their forces would not be agreed to, and further maintained that the C?nr?tutlonaliat? participation in the mediation; would not be undertaken on'condition of aa armistice in the military movement against Huerta, jj At thg .navy , department today the aw***!* of the 1 German steamship Ypiranfea at Vera' Cruz after the re ported discharge of her cargo of arms for Huerta at Puerto Mexico, was re garded with significance. The conference between the Ameri can delegates and the mediators did not end until nearly midnight. At it? close Justice Lemar said: . "No conclusions were reached; we will recome our conference Monday morning." It was understood tho American del? cgates laid before the mediators their views on Constitutionalist representa tion in the mediation. SPEED RECORDS ALL WERE BROKEN Rene Thoma?

It ls not well to feed alfalfa bay In too large quantities to brood mares and thu ls a -matter in which pre caution should be taken, according to Clemson College. Horses tend to beomo bloated If allowed to over feed on affalfa hay. especially lt the hay ls in a more or less green stage. It is always advisable when alfulfa hay bi to be fed to horses to allow the alfalfa to temain In tho field until well matured. Thc danger of bloa^i lng in horses ls especially groat in the case of marea in foal,- walch are likely to overeat. These precautions are not necessary tn feedbag alfalfa, to catie and. lu fact, the green alfalfa hay la very desirable for dalry cattle. Good results have been obtained Jn feeding brood mares by limiting their alfalfa to one-third of the total amount of roughage fed to them.
