Niagara Falls, Ont., June 22.—The
South American mediators Sunday
proposed a new course of action
which not only will prolong media-
tion proceedings, but eventually may
work out a solution of the Mexican
problem.
Tho nature of the plan, designed
to prevent the deadlock between the
American and Mexican delegates
from abruptly ending the conference
has been more cloBely guarded than
anything that has transpired at the
conference.
It became known, however, that
another effort was being made to
bring the constitutionalists into
close touch with the purpose of
mediation without formally admlt-
ing them. The suggestion con-
templated separate conferences be-
tween the American delegates and
representatives of the constitutional-
ists. Justice Lamar and Frederick
W. Lehman would continue their
dealings with the Huerta delegates
through the mediation board. In
this way all elements In the Mexican
situation would be drawn together
and there would be no necessity for
the declaration of an armistice until
some agreement was reached and
aproved by the constitutionalists.
The plan was said to be a result of
the visit of Minister Naon of Argen-
tina to Washington, where President
Wilson is understood to have em-
phasized the written statement of
Justice Lamar that any agreement
not approved by the constitutional-
ists would be a "paper agreement"
and would not accomplish the sole
purpose of the United States, which
is the pacification of Mexico.
America Takes Initiative.
It was reported Sunday night that
the Washington government already
had extended an invitation to Car-
ranza to send his representatives
to Niagara Falls, N. Y., to confer
with the American delegates, but
confirmation was lacking. The re-
ported departure of Fernando Igle-
sias Caldron, leader of the liberal
party fro Saltillo, for Washington,
presumably to take charge of con-
stitutionalists interests in the United
States was believed to have some
bearing on developments here.
Beyond saying that a definite step
had been taken today, which raised
their hopes, the mediators were si-
lent. It was also said that the three
diplomats had revised their original
plan for the pacification of Mexico
which was objected to in part by
the American delegates. Proposals
were expected to be submitted to-
morrow to the American delegates
in a new form.
Optimism prevailed generally in
American quarters. Dr. Naon rei-
terated that he had a feeling of gen-
uine hopefulness. There was a
general impression that if constitu-
tionalists representatives were to be
received by the American delegates
the discussion of names might be
taken up anew.
Significant Conferences.
Dr. Naon crossed to the American
side and talked for an hour with
Justice Lamar. Previously the med-
iators and the Huerta delegates con-
ferred.

Chicago, June 22.—Emerson D.
Dietrich, manager of a theatrical
production presenting a troupe of
trained lions, was killed and partly
devoured Sunday night by six Hons
when he entered the car In which
they were caged. While the keepers
were recovering Dietrich's body, a
lion escaped from an adjoining cage
and terrorized the residents of the
thickly populated quarter In which
tho car stood. Tho escaped lion fi-
nally was driven back to Its car,
having harmed no one.
A pike pole from the fire depart
ment was used to withdraw Die-
trich's body from the lions after It
had been sprinkled with formaldo-
hydo to drive the animals away.
George McChord, keeper of the
llonB, was unable to help Dietrich.
"When he went Into the den," Mc-
Chord said, "Teedy, the leader of the
attack agalnBt Dietrich, began to
play with him and he told the beast
to get down. Four of the Hons
were facing him. Four others then
leaped for him and I think his neck
was broken.
"Trilby, the oldest of the lions,
tried to save him but the others
pushed her away and she quit and
watched them without Joining in tho
attack."
The lions were owned by Madam
Adgle Castillo, to whom Dietrich
was engaged to be married. She
said she formerly had taken care
of the animals herself and that they
never before had given indications
of being vicious. She attributed the
attack to the fact that tho car wan
dark when Dietrich entered.
Tho lions have been used in hun-
dreds of public performances, ac-
cording to Madame Castillo, five or
six of them being liberated on the
stage together to perform under her
direction. Sho always has con
trolled them with a Bhort whip.
Policemen armed with rifles
guarded the car during the night.
The Hons while attacking Dletrkh
kept up an Incessant roaring
which attracted a great crowd
