LIND MAY NOT GO TO FRISCO
EAECOTIFE BUSINESS MAY PRE-
VENT THE GOVERNOR FROM
WELCOMING THIRTEENTH
Feels 1T Duty to Attend the State
Board of EquaIizatiOn, but He
May Yield to Pressure and Go tn
California.

Gov. Lind and Adjt. Gen. Lambert held
conference yesterday afternoon in the
executive chambers regarding the propos.
ell trip to San Francisco for the receptIon
or the Thirteenth regiment. There is
some doubt as to whether Gov Lind will
accompany the party that leaves a week
from tomorrow for the coast. AS much as
the governor would like 20 greet the
boys on their return, he feels that duty
demands his presence during the sessions
OF the state hoard OF equalization which
begins its labors next Tue5qe.y. 1: is the
governors intention to he present at The
meetings of the DoArd by SO dong Gov.
Lind will pursue course that has not
been observed by any OF his predecessors,
ara MS presence may prevent Il repetition
OIL last year actions, Snoud there be a
disposition on the part of hold-ovar mem
bers of the beard to take any iunkets
to Omaha AMI have the imputation made
broadcast that ctrtain corporate interests
were the parties who footed the bills
Gov. Lind gave it out some time ago
that he would, in the interest Of the state
attend the sessions in his official capacity
and familiariZe himself with the details of
the work. The return of the Thirteenth
regiment, coming as it does close on the
heels of the beginning of the state board
of equalizations work makes it rather
difficult for tht governor to so perfect his
plans as to carry out his original inten-
ton and go to San Francisco to greet the
returning volunteers when they first
reach American soil.
Gov. Lind was seen yesterday afternoon
by G / b e reporter and when inter-
rCgated regarding the matter said that
his plans were still quite immature and
he could not with certainty give out any
thing for publication. Gen. Lambert, who
as stated, spent a large part of tht after
noon closeted with the governor, stated
that the itinerary of the "trip and person
mel Of the party would not be ready for
publication before tht latter part of the
week. The governor is being strongly
urged to make the trip and may find his
way out of the difficulty before the time
for starting.
Col. Fred Anes has decided to take ac-
ton regarding the charges that have
been made against him, and according
to Washington report will prefer charg-
es against Maj. Ed Bean, also of the
Thirteenth regiment. This will bring
about an investigation of the whole mat
ter.
Gen. Shafter will conduct the investiga-
ton, according to the telegram, which
says:
From reliable information received
here, it can now be stated that Col. Fred
Ames will prefer charges against Maj.
Ed Bean The major will be given an
opportunity to say whether or not he Is
responsible for the many statements that
have been made against him. He will
be further calred upon to explain his con-
nection with certain cable message to
Gov. Lind, in which the latter was re-
quested by the officers of the Thirteenth
to withdraw his objections TO mastering
out Col. Ames from service 1t is said
there are strong adherents of both Ames
and Bean among the men of the Thir
tenth"
Col Fred Ames brands as unqualifiedly
false every particular statement emanat-
ing from Boston that he was reprimand-
ed by Gen. Otis for sending d cablegram
to the effect that the Minnesota volun-
teers wished to be mustered out of sery-
ice.
Col. Ames states emphatically that he
was never censured or reprimanded by
either Otis or Wheaton, as reported, or
by any other generals On the contrary,
his relations with all his supeTiors were
most cordial and pleasant
