four gunmen, the actual murderers of
_,oAthA, from the chaiZ. The court

F0 BENEFI
MEXICAN EVENTS
HOLD THE CAPITAL
Washington.-Developments In the
Mexican situation- went steadily for
ward although the White House wed
ding somewhat eclipsed other events
in official Washington circles.
The two chief reports from Mexico
annoanced the killing of two British
subjects and one American at Guada
lajara; and continued heavy fighting
at Mazatlan on the . Paciffic coast
where the rebel aeroplane dropped a
bomb which klled four persons and
indured eight in the streets of the
besieged city.
The state department also was in
formed by Consul Hamm at Durango
that the movement of the Constitu
tionalists had begun with marching
against Saltillo and Zacatecas.
Information from the Argentine,
Brazilian and Chilean mediatiors
showed that they were preparing to
begin work in Niagara' Falls, Ont.
They declared that- despite General
Carranza's self-elimInation, - the- Con
stitutionalist side - of the Mexican
problem would be fully considered
by the mediators at the coming con
ference.
A man close to the president said
it would not be surprising If a justice
of 'the supreme court of the United
States should be one of the represen
tatives of the American government.
Justice Mahlon Pitney, though a Re
publican, is a close friend of the pres
ident and may be chosen. Justice
Day was a member of the Paris con
ferenec and is a former supreme
court judge.
