WASHINGTON. Juno 27.-Preeidont
Wilson early today received a lengthy
message from the American delegates at
Niagara Falls, and officials close to the
executive expressed the opinion that a
meeting between the Huerta and consti
tutionalist representatives was practically
assured.
The message received today Is said to
havo reported the results of a conference!
between the American delegates and Mln
lstr Naon. While It Is Intimated In some
quarters that an Informal conference be
tween the opposing Mexican factions will
terminate In failure, It was made clear
that President Wilson Is viewing the ne
gotiations optimistically.
The State department was today noti
fied through the Brazilian embassy that
General Huerta was willing to have Vice
Consul SUllman return to his post at
Saltlllo. The request to Huerta to return
the American consul, whom his troopa
imprisoned and threatened with death.
to a territory over which ho now has no
control was merely a formality and to
preserve the good faith of the United
States In respect of a promise it made
when It secured the release of Sllllman
from, his precarious position. The consti
tutionalists now entirely control Saltlllo
and the surrounding territory.

that a definite understanding has
been reached with the object of healing
the breach between General Carranza and

ROOSEYELT REFUSES TO REST
Physician Prescribes Four Months
of Absolute Quiet.
COLONEL SAYS CAMPAIGN IS ON
He Decline to Obey Order of Doctor,
AVho Snya He la Snffcrlnff
from Kffecta of Malarial
EV.ver.
OYSTER BAX, N. T., June S7.-Four
months of absolute rest has been pre
scribed for Colonel Roosevelt by his
physicians, who Informed him that lie
was suffering from an enlargement of
the spleen and o loss of vitality as a re
sult of the malarial fever ho contracted
In the South American jungles.
"But In four months the campaign will
be over," the colonel said today. "Con
sequently," he added, he considered it an
Impossibility for him to follow his phy
sician's advice.
Colonel Roosevelt hRs abandoned his
campaign trip across the continent,
which had been arranged tentatively for
September. He also telegraphed to Pitts
burgh that he would make only one
speech there on Tuesday night Two had
been arranged.
The change in the ex-president's plans
came after an examination made last
night by Dr. Alexander Lambert of New
York. Dr. Lambert came to Oyster Bay
and spent more than an hour in Inspect
ing his patient. Then he told him he
must rest for four months. He urged
the colonel to give up his trip to Pitts
burgh, to make no speeches during the
campaign and as far as possible to give
up everything that would tax fils
strength. Ho explained, tho colonel said,
that it would retqulre a long period to
shake off tho effects of the malaria and
that If this were not accomplished, tho
disease might become so securely fas
tened on him that he would never recover
his full strength. It might even Impair
his mental vigor, the physician said.
Colonel Roosevelt declined to heed the
warning. Ho said It would be an impos
sibility for him to give up campaign work.
"I think Dr. Lambert took a gloomy
view", Colonel Roosovelt said laughingly.
"But I shall take caro of myself as well
as I can and I'l see that tho maarla does
not get settled In my sytem."
Upon his return from Pittsburgh,
Colonel Roosevelt is to sco a throat spe
cialist. But whatever the physicians
say of the possible consequences he Is
determined, he said, to go on with the
campaign In a limited way.

Children of Foreign
Born Parents Make
Better Students
CHICAGO, June 27. Children of foreign
born parents here excel American chil
dren In school work because American
children are permitted too many outside
pleasures, It was stated today by Mrs.
Ella Flagg Young, superintendent of Chi
cago schools. The condition was revealed
by a survey Just completed of Chicago
public schools.
"American children are devoted to too
many outside attractions which their par
ents seem unable to curtail," said Mrs.
Young. "These monopolize their strength
and attention and as a result there Is a
large proportion of overgrown boys and
girls In the eighth grades in the American
districts."

"All newspaper reports of what has
occurred In the committee on foreign rela

Nlcaraguan and Colombian treaties am
unauthorized and Inaccurate and are,
moreover, unworthy of belief, becauso
whoever gave out the alleged Informa

violated his word of honor."
"No man upon that committee," de
clared tho senator to his colleagues, "can
glvo out the confidential business except
he has upon hlni the brand of absolute
dlohonesty and betrayal." He added that
ho regarded tho disclosures of what had.
