AMERICANS HAVE ISLAND. WASHINGTON, May 11. First official news of the land- ing of American sailors on Lobos Island reached the Navy Department late tonight in a ca- blegram from Hear Admiral Mayo stating that the Mexican keepers deserted the great light- m.

IdnnH mid that the destroyer tender Dixie was "maintaining it for the benefit of navigation." tyjJtJM.Wk WASHINGTON, May lk While peace negotiations marked time Rending formal sittings of the South American mediators to begin Monday on Canadian soil, the mediators and officials of ihe 'State Department here today were occupied with several serious phases of the Mexican situation demanding immediate attention. Secretary Bryan called at the Argentine legation late in the day and spent two hours in conference with the South American envoys discussing the continued detention of John R. Silli-man, American vice consul at Saltillo by Mexican Federals, the Lobos Island Incident and the case of the five South Americans under arrest at Vera Cruz for filing upon I'nlted States sailors titid marines. Silliman Must Bs Released. Mr.

Bryan insisted that the release of Silliman must he brought about at rr.ee. When asked about the matter biter he would not say what would happen the vice consul were kept in prison, but he was gravely emphatic in announcing the Government's determination to have him freed. While the official representatives or General Huerta were preparing to take leave of their revolution -torn country ut Vera Cruz, while an American general with armed forces of the United states waited at one of the gateways lr Mexico City, the United States Government officially announced its representative in mediation negotiations before the South American triumvirate at Niagara Falls, Ontario, next Monday. Justice Joseph Rucker Iamar of the United States Supreme Court and Fred-eHck W. Iebmann.

former solicitor general, were chosen by President Wilson as the American representatives. 1-rom Huerta are hastening forward Augustln Rodriguez, Kmllio Rabasa and Luis Klgnero. General Carrnnza and the Mexican rebels who seek Huerta's overthrow ill not be represented in the conference, according to latest advices. They will continue to make war in Huerta territory, while the truce in the international disputation proceeds. Disturbing Elements.

Disturbing elements continued to arouse interest throughout the day. General Funston at Vera Cruz was appealed to by the Brazilians, who had been arrested and are awaiting trial for "sniping" American soldiers from the refuge of a tramp steamer in Vera uz harbor. An appeal was made to Secretary Bryan by the mediating envoys on behalf of General Huerta because of reports that American forces had seized a Mexican lighthouse on Lobos Island, off Tampico, an act which Huerta's agents maintained was argressive and In violation of the armistice. This Government maintained that Huerta had violated the armistice In ordering lighthouse closed on the Pacific roast to the peril of shipping. Authorities hero were provoked at belated reports that American Vice Consul Silliman was Imprisoned by Huerta's soldieTS at Saltillo.

From Tampico, where Mexican Federals and Constitutionalists have been preparing for a sanguinary struggle, came rumblings of battle, while reports that Huerta's strength was waning In Mexico and that the bandit leader, Enpata, was about to attack the Capital from the south, served to arouse diplomatic agents of foreign Nations lest their people in Mexico City might be In immediate danger of persecution cr death. Bryan Sees Mediators. Late in the day Secretary Bryan hastened to the Argentine legation, where he consulted for half an hour with the mediators. None would discuss the conference, but it was learned that disturbing reports from Mexico City, together with disputed points that had arisen over the unnistice had been discussed. State Department officials were indignant when it became known that Vice Consul Silliman and his clerk.

Joseph A. Machani. na well as several oilier Americans, hnd been prisoners of the Federal commander at Saltillo and that the consul still is held, despite urgent representations for his release rrade by the Brazilian minister In Mexico City. dispatches were accepted as indicating that the Mexican war minister's assurance to the French charge last week that neither Consul Silliman. no member of the embassy staff and no Americans In Saltillo "had been in danger" was Intended only to deceive State Department officials as to the real state of effalrs at Saltillo.

WASHINGTON, "May 11. Ending seven year of bitter legal warfare, the Supreme Court today set aside sentences imposed by the District of Columbia Supreme Court upon Samuel Hampers, John Mitchell und Frank Morrison for contempt of court in alleged violation of Injunctions Issued In 1907 and 1908 against boycotting the Buck's Stove and Range Company. The question of whether the acts of the labor leaders constituted contempt was not passed upon, the court disposing of the cases by holding prosecution was barred by the statute of limitations, the proceedings having been started more than three years after the alleged offense.

In 1911 the Supreme Court set aside sentences against. Gompers, Mitchell find Morrison because they had been prosecuted under criminal Instead of civil statutes. The next day new proceedings were Instituted, but that was more than three years nfter the In junction trouble and the sentences then imposed were upset today, finally closing the cases. The Court's Decision. Justice Holmes, announcing the decision, said that even If the statute did not cover contempt, (lie necessity for the speedy disposition (if such case? was so great it would establish a rule that by analogy contempt proceedings must be begun within three years after the committing of ihe offense.

Justices Vandeventer and Pllney dissented. Justice Holmes said the controversy turned upon the question of whether contempt of court is a vrime burred by the statute of limitation, pro-vlds that no wi-bob prosecuted fur a-n offe-we iiy 'Indictment" on 'Information brought within three year. He reviewed the argument that the statute applied only to cases that could be proceeded against hy Indictment or Information and explained that the court had decided these words were controlled by the substantial portion of the statute that "no person shall be prosecuted for an offense" not committed within three years. The court rejected the argument that the offense continued until the offense of the labor boycott against the company In 1910. The offense charged, Justice Holmes nld, was not a continuing conspiracy to boycott, but specific acts.

Wright, who Imposed the sentences In the lower court In being Investigated by the House Judiciary committee in connection with Impeachment charges filed hy a Washington lawyer. ATTACKS ANTI-TRUST BILL Judge Robert S. Lovett Declare That it Will Spell Ruin for Many Railroad System. WASHINGTON.

Ma- 11. "I think if you make this bill retroactive you will give the railway world the greatest shock It bun leit in years. The minute you make this act retroactive and apply it to relations heretofore established you menace almost every important railway In this country." This was the prediction today of Judge Robert 8. ijvett, chairman of the Union Pacific. Board, In criticising the administration anti-trust bill before the Senate Interstate commerce committee.

"I don't believe there Is an important system in the country," he said, "that would not be disiupted unless It made the proper application and showed that there was not such competition between them as is forbidden by this law." Judge Lovett naid many roads secured stock ownership of others years ago. He declared that the bill should not interfere with these, but should be confined to the future. A. V. Thorn, general counsel for the Southern Railway, said he and other railroad men protesting against the bill represent 150,000 ml)i of road.

He declared the railroad problem should be studied by Itself and regulatory laws enacted separately and not In a general trade commission nr-usure, such as the committee is considering. Frank Trumbull, chairman of the board of the Missouri, Kansas A Texas Railroad and others, appeared before the committee. l-v'l- THE WEATHER. WASHINGTON, May 11.
