EXICO I WATS MAN
ACCEPTABLE TO ALL
SELECTION OF A SUITABLE PRO
VISIONAL rS PROBLEM OF
MEDIATORS.
SOME NAMES ARE DISCUSSED
No Agreement Has Yet Been Reach
ed-The Task is e Difficult One
and Causing Work.
Niagara Falls, Ont-The crux of the
Mexican problem, the selection of a
man for provisional president, accept
able to all factions In Mexico and for
eign governments generally - was
reached in a conference between the
mediators and the American and
Mexican delegates.
For more than an hour names 'of
various individuals were discussed
but on none was there & semblance
of agreement. There will. be another
conference on the same subject. De
tails of the peace plan are practically
set aside now for the greater task of
finding the man of the hour-he who
can reconcile the warring factions
and maintain peace while.a constitu
tional election is held and normal or
der is resumed.
Incidentally General Cari-anza's note
transmitted by: Rafael Zubaran, his
representative in WashLngton, arrived
advising the mediators that Constitu
tionalist delegates were on their way
to the mediation conference with full
Instructions.
The mediator's made no comment
on the note. It contains no reference
to an armistice; on which the media
tors have been insisting and there was
nothing to show that the -mediators
had in any way altered their determi
ifation reached not to admit officially
the representatives of General Carran
za unless an armistice. was declared.
Some other way of dealing with them
perhaps through the American dele
gates, may be found when they arrive.,
The ,Constitutionalst representa
tives are needed here to facilitate the
course of the peace' program in its
present stages for in the discussion
of names they can be of mush servire
to mediation generally by indirating
who will, or will not be acceptable.
At present the mediators have ac
complished only one step in their
journey toward the pacification , of
Mexico. This was the adoption of the
,nrst protocol dealing with the trans
fer of authority from- the hands of
the present regime to a new provi
sional government.
WILSON WILL LEAD WAY.
International Fleet of World's Navies
Will Pass Through In March, 1915.
Washington-President Wilson. next
March plersonally will lead the Inter
national fleet of. warships from Ramp,
ton Roads to Colon to participate in
the formal opening of the Panama

ship Oregon as leader of the long
line of fighting craft of all nations
and then after proceeding northward,
enter the Golden Gate at the head of
the Immense armada and attend the
Panama Pacific Exposition at San
Francisco.
This ,announcement was inade by
Secretary, Daniels.- Originally the

to Hampton Roads. to greet dommand
era of the International fleet as they
arrived-.-,Afterward -he was. to- make
the trip- by .rafi ton San Francisco to
visit the exposition 'at some~ conveni
ent later date.
The president, however, has deter
mined .now to dlo full honor to the ex
position by making-his advent on the
scene at the head of an armada, the
like of which the world has never
seen. Also he will redeem his -long
standing promise to Col.. George W.
Goethals to formally open the Pana

The president, according to the
present program, -will leave Washing

12 RESERIE BANKS
READY BY AUGUSTI
TREASURY OFFICIALS THINK IT
POSSIBLE THAT THIS WILL
BE.
SECURE DIRECTORS IN JUNE
Elections of Directors in All Classes
Are Being Made Rapidly by the
Member Banks.
Washington.-Treasury Department
officials were still of the opinion that
it would be possible to have the 12
Federal reserve banks In operation by
August 1 although they say the de
mand for money to move crops has
not been such as would suggest any
great strain to be relieved by the
reserve banks.
Practically the remainder of June
will be required for the election of
directors of the Federal reserve
banks. Banks which are to become
members of reserve banks now are
balloting for directors of the A and
B classes. Each reserve bank will
have three directors of class A. and
three of class B all named by electors
selected by the various member
banks. Three directors of class C
are then to:be designated by the Fed
,eral reserve, board and must be men
with banking experience.
The organization committee has
not made any call upon member
b(mks as yet for the Initial one-sixth
of their subscriptions to the capital
stock of the reserve bank to which
they wish to belong. Such a call
hardly would be made until after the
Federal reserve board is confirmed by
the senate and takes up its work In
Washington. -
Much detail *ork awaits the Fed
eral reserve board after It assumes of
flice. Secretaries and assistants to
the -members must be selected and a
complete system cf reports for the
reserve banks must be worked out.
HOUSES PASSES REPEAL, 216-71.
Long Bitter Fight Came to End After
Brief Debate in House.
Washington.-The long and bitter
fight in Congress came to an end when
the House, after -brief debate and with
out the formality of a conference, ac
cepted by a vote of 216 to 71 the
Senate amendment specifically reserv
ing all rights the United States may
have under the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty.
Before ending the contest by con
curring in the Senate amendment,
the House voted down 154 .to 108, i
'proposal advanced by- Representative
Moss of West Virginia to attach to
the repeal ,.a flat declaration of the
right of the United States to exempt
Its vessels from tolls andtet the sov
ereignty of the United States over
the Canal Zone.
There were' flashes of heat in the
debate which characterized the orig
inal consideration of the measure:
Representative Underwood, the Dem
ocratic leader, although voting for the.
Senate amiendment, said that Congresi
should never have made this "t
American surrender," and. called the.
amendment "ineffective and negative.'
Republican Leader M~ann, who had
vigorously opposed repeal, supported
the amendment,- declaring it left the
