Carrin Wanted lo Be Dictator.
Unfortunately the overthrow of Huerta

"Three reasons Impel me to this baMef"
he said.
"First because I am sure that the Amer-

I am thoroughly convinced of President
Wilson's absolute sincerity. Should we
doubt this even for a moment we certainly
would not maintain -the present friendly

Chandler's mechanician died st the boa
pltal tonight. Chandler has less than an

Íhyslclant. Plel one or the victims or the
Irsl accident was reported also to be 10

however than the others.
Cooper's skull was fractured and death

Keeler' s injuries are a- broken light
shoulder and hip fractured collar bone
and concussion of the brain.
Chandler went Into convulsions while be-
ing taken to the hospital where It was
found that he suffered a broken left hip
and Internal Injuries.
In both accidents tire blowouts were de-
scribed as the cause. Although in the
case of Cooper a broken steering knuckle
was said to bare been tbe immediate rea-
son for his loss or control. After strik-
ing the ground outside the track the mo-
mentum or the car was so great that it
crashed into the end or he grandstand and

tion was about Cooper. He bad not learned
of Cooper's death and tbe fact was kept

The race Itself was full of thrills aside
from Its tragic features. For most of the
00 miles It was nip and tuck. In the last
tuteen nines ne raima developed a run or
bad lurk with bis tires which threatened
to lose him rirst place but he forged
ahead In the last three miles and crossed
the line ahead of Mulford. So close were
the two leaders that Judges were for sev-
eral minutes divided as to who had won.
Tbe first announcement was that Mulford
was the victor but this was quickly
changed and the orriclal announcement
gave De palma tne prize.

Washington. Aug. 7 Two developments
today brought the Mexican situation into
position regarded by American officials
as encouraging.
Oeneral Carranza in a brief riled in his

"Hiking ror recognition receded from hi
refus.il to Join his adversaries In a peace
conference and virtually proposes such a
movement. Oeneral villa was at once no -uricil
by the Washington agents and an
ea'ly reply Is expected.
Tie .attitude of the United Mates out-
lined orriiially for the first timo since Hie
pan-American conference was rsllid was
mala clear me purpose 01 ine wucaii
revolution who accomplished when Huer-
ta was deposed; that all the righting since
has been only over factional differences:
that neither Carranza nor Villa holds such
control or Mexico aa entitles either of them
to recognition although it is admitted thst
both must be uken into consideration
and the íttUBtiún to be solved is to rind a
man for provisional president who repre
sents tne ctuse or ir.e original revolution

position or the United SUUs wat official-

"That neither Ctrrantt nor tny oHmst

umphant In the republic.

That the -real purpose of tbe revolution

That the rirst pmniem 10 be solved in

This outline Is tbe first authonutiva

practically asas recognition.
It was made clear today that the United

Qualifications for President
The Latin American diplomáis are said to
share the view that a stable government
can be established only hy selecting a man
who represented the cause or the original
revolution against Hueru and one upon
which the leaders now at war could unite.
The brief submitted by Charles A. Doug-
las General Osrrsnzs's American counsel
sets forth the formal suggestion or a peace
conrerence in the following language:
"We have In Washington Mr. Arredondo.
In the capacity of a special representative
of the constitutionalist government and at
this time Mr. Cabrera a member or Mr
Currants' cabinet is here. They are men
or fine ability and excellent character and
are anxious to serve their country ID the
lilxh' st and best sense. Either or both of
them- I am assured will be glsd lo confer
mm any element or tne Mexican people
with a view of furthering the common In-
terest the peace and the welfare or tbe na-
tion." Objections to Vassjuez Tagle.

of the revolution must be accomplished as
were measures promulgated by military

and that the revolution would be dereated

and the working! or law. SUtisllcs were
presenud to show the extent of General
Carranza' control of more man half tbe
territory and nine-tenths of the penpte and
the progreat or pacification in the wale
of Carranza armies. Legal precedents to
warrant the recognition of General Car-
ranza are clud. precedents were round as
far back aa the recognition or Benito

The proposal of a conrerence came is
1 surprise not only to the representatives
or the other Mexlctn fictions but to Amer-
ican ofriclala who have been led to believe
that Oeneral Carranza was irrevocably op-
posed to any further parleys with tus ad-
versarles. The relucunce of Genersl
Carranza to come to any peace negotiations
was one of tbe first obsedes which con-
fronud the Pan-American diplomats when
they begin their conference with St.creUry
