Lamar, delegates of the Vnited States, to the mediation con ference, received their final Instructions today, preparatory to their departure from the capital. With Iluerta's envoys to the mediation conference now In New York and the South American representatives on their way to Niagara Falls, mediation In the Mexican troubles was a step nearer reality today. The peace conference took on new significance when it was intimated by persons close to the president that he alms to pacify the whole of Mexico with the aid of the mediator). The chief executive is said to believe that the present negotiations can settle Mexico's troubles for all time by hrlnging the Zapata, Carranza and Huerta factions into agreement, following the ousting of Huerta. Reform of the present land-holding system, which the president believes to be responsible for the warfare In Mexico, also is said to be one of his chief deeires, and it Is understood In official circles here that recognition of the Constitutionalists, should they overthrov Huerta, would be withheld until such reform Is assured by the new government.

Rockefeller Might Well Support Missionary Work of World, Says Dr.

Parker. Dr. A. A. Parker, income secretary of the Methodist Board of Foreisn Mis sions, told the New Rrurwwick preach-! ers at their weekly meeting in St I Paul's church.

Ocean Grove, this morn-j in, that John D. Rockefeller might profitably support the mlssiunery work of the world. Civilization follows missionary, said Dr. Parker, and in the train of higher standards of living come demands for modern commercial products. Dr.

Parker instanced that even in the Himalaya mountains in Thibet, the roofs of houses were covered with tin from Mandard Oil Co. tans. The natives bought their oil in two-ounce bottles. With the better standards of living and the schools brought by the missionaries, reading became more common, the natives needed more oil and the product of civilization was old by gallons instead of ounces. Dr.

Parker wa an American pastor for 11 years before he entered the for-eign missionary field. Then he spent several years in India and Thibet. He told today's meeting that the modern tendency in the foreign mis-1 sionary field is toward co-operation and away from competition between the various denominations of the protectant church. Where one denominational missionary is caring for a field, he is permitted to have it alone and the other denominations' seek untouched territory. 'It would be well, said Dr.

Parker, if the churches in the United States followed the same rule, so that a com munity that could support one or two churches would have that many and Tint fll'e. 5 -five mini a te rided Vwe meeting and returned a vote of thanks to Dr. Parker for his Interesting discourse.

White, a veteran from the Old Soldiers' home at Kearney, appeared fto press a charge of robbery against ihim. Judge Borden learned of the old iman's plight while Cottrell was in the -town Jail and told White to be in court. Cottrell pleaded not guilty to the larceny charge, but admitted that he had-been drunk, lie was sentenced to 120 days in the county jail for drunk, and held for the grand 'jury on white's complaint. The veteran, who Is just able to crawl about on crutches and almost jblind, said he had drawn three months' pension, amounting to 72, and had jcorae to Asbury Park to visit his chil-jdren. He ueposited all but $32 safely and.

they went out. He foregathered with Cottrell, he and at his suggestion gave him dollar to buy drinks, showing his jpocketbook'a contents in the transaction. Cottrell, said White, shoved his 'hand into his (Whites) breast pocket 'and seized the money. As he was imaking off, White called out and Cot-jtrell, apparently fearing to attract attention, put one $10 bill back in the wallet and returned it to the owner, keeping the rest. Asbury Park policemen declared Cottrell, who is said to bear a questionable character, was seen to "flash" money of the sanie denomination.

Cottrell said White had given him a dollar to buy drinks. He used half of it and returned the change. CottreU's father, who died a year ago, was a Civil (War veteran. Justice Borden, a G. A.

There were varigated colors in the ensemble of the richly attired throng that wended its serpentine way to and fro yesterday on the boardwalk and alternately watched the strenuous efforts of Asbury Park contractors to extricate a iron pipe from its moorings and the antics of a few early sand bathers who refused to venture into the. ocean because it looked so cold. The afternoon concert at the Casino was weir attended and the program was with popular numbers. In the evening Miss Florence Cavanagh and i Leroy Duflteld assisted the orchestra, which was a good organization and acquitted Itself with credit. Ocean avenue was crowded with au-tomobilists during the day.

At the Coleman houe, Marlborough, Metropolitan and Flaaa the biggest stopover throng of the spring was noted. The Coleman and Plaza grills were well patronized and the few booths open in early morning on Cookman avenue received their fair share of patronage. Many weekend visitors registered at the smaller boarding houses and the presence of the advance section of the cottage contingent in North Asbury 'Park was evinced by familiar faces in the boardwalk procession "nd the open front doors that dotted the side streets. The day was faultless and was thoroly enjoyed by As-bury'a early guests and hundreds of the townspeople who preempted the esplanade benches in the afternoon. Dishonorable Action.

The Boroughites were, after a full discussion in the papers, beaten at the polks, notwithstanding the women property owners were not permitted to caat si ballot.

The cracksmen were masked and the watchmen were unable to give a good dscrlption of them. Matthew Mitchell, chief night watchman, told the police that the robbers st intervals of an hour compelled him to punch the safety clock so that no alarm would be given thru the failure of this signal to register.
