Capt. Hopkins Refutes Charges.
Capt. s. g. Hopkins. who was accused
Of the Madero lobby. issued this state

''The charges of Senator William Al

papers, are deliberately and ridiculously
false in every respect I have personally

affairs in Mexico and then in regard to
protection for certain American citizens

of the present administration, nor have

nation for me from that department or
to try to influence its policy.

INSTRUCTIONS AWAIT
LIND AT VERA CRUZ

The State Department, as far as any
public activity is concerned, marked time
during business hours yesterday.
To all outward appearance, there wa!
nothing unusual in the air in the bis
State, War, and Navy Building. Sec
retary of State Bryan met the news.

the morning interview he denied thai
the battleship New Hampshire had beer
ordered to proceed slowly to Vera Cruz
in order to permit Charge d'Affaires Mel
son OShaughnessy in Mexico City, tc
make specific representations to Presi-
dent Huerta.
Mr.. Bryan could not say whether, upon
his arrival at Vera Cruz, Mr. Lind
would proceed Immediately to Mexico
City or whether he would be detained
there for conferences with Mr.. O'Shuagh.
messy. Obviously, though. Mr.. Lind's
course will be dictated by the result
of Mr.. O'Shaughnessy's representations
to Gen. Huerta, though it is now con-
sidered extremely improbable thai
Huerta will assume any attitude which
will make it inadvisable for Mr.. Lind
TO proceed to Mexico City.
Secretary Bryan yesterday refused
either to affirm or deny published state
ments to the effect that OShaughnessy
has been instructed to inform Gen,
Huerta in diplomatic. but unequivo-
cable terms, that he will be held per-
sonally and politically responsible for
any insults or injuries which Mr.. Lind
may suffer while in territory over which
Huerta exercises control in the Southern
republic.
1t generally is understood, however.
that Gen. Huerta will take particular
pains in an transformations way TO pro-
tect Gov. Lind. though he will do moth
Ing which might be construed as a
recognition of any official mission in the
person of Gov. Lind.
When the department closed yesterday
afternoon it had not been learned
whether the New Hampshire had reached
Vera Cruz .or what results, if any, had
come of O'Shaughnessy' representations

ment from the department indicated.
however. the New Hampshire did not
reach Vera Cruz before o'clock last
night. though il was expected that in
format ton of her arrival would reach
Washington later in the evening.
1t was made plain at the State De-
partment that Envoy Lind will find spe-
citic instructions awaiting him when he
lands at Vera Cruz. Obviously, though.
the tenor of those instructions depends
upon Huerta'S attitude as indicated IN
advices from Charge O'Shaughnessy.
Consul Bonney reported to the State
Department yesterday on conditions in
San Louis Potosi. which recently has been
the scene of conflicts between the Huerta
forces and the rebels. In the Northern
districts, he reported. satisfactory con-
ditions are being esta blished.
In the East. however, according to the
Consuls information, the situation is
not nearly so satisfactory. Americans
throughout the district, he believes, are
rea Sonably safe.

PROTECTION TO LIND
ASSURED BY HUERTA

Telegraphic reports from Mexico
yesterday were decidedly reassuring in
describing the apparent mental atti-
1ude of the Mexican populace and the
officials of the Huerta regime who
may come in contact with Gov. Lind
and his party.
From all appearances the anti
American sentiment fired by Huerta' s
defiant note to the American Embassy
has subsided and the people are willing
to await further action from Huerta.
1t is apparent given the truth of these
reports, that Huerta may be held per-
sonally accountable for anything which
resembles a general demonstration
against Mr.. Lind.
Gen. Huerta, however, has given 1t
to be understood that he expects to
afford Gov and Mrs. Lind every pro-
lection in his power. and no doubt
this has had a soothing effect upon
the populace. Gov. Lind will land as
a private citizen, and as such will be
received by the Mexican military COM
mander at Vera Cruz, incidental to that
dignitary's exchange of official courte-
sizes with the commander Of the New
Hampshire.

FARMERS TO
PROFIT FROM
TOMATO CROP

SWEDESBORO, n. j., July 22-The
tomato season has been an exception
ally good one. Notwithstanding the late
frosts which, it was thought. would
ruin the crop, so that farmers began
to count their losses, the yield has
been fair, and continued good prices
will Offset any shortage. so far as the
grower is concerned.
While the prices last year at this
period were around 81 a crate last
week were from So to S2.75 Last year,
for the week, there we're shipped about
10000 crates; this year last week.
94,712, with a total to date of i26,250.
requiring 22S cars. Those who are IN
la position to know state that growers
will be better OFF financially this year
than last even though a low price is
received for the balance OF the sea-
son.
Gloucester county's yield of pota-
toes together with the very low prices
received will cause the average farmer
to lose money on the crop. Ii is just
the reverse in Salem county. Poor
fields are an exception ther and there
is not a farmer who can tell the real
cause of the vast Difference between
the growths of the two neignboring
counties. The Salem county crop will
be harvested next week. Thousands of
baskets have been coming in at the
dihereat stations, but buyers have
had an easy time thus far.
Seven buyers ars at Palatine Sta
ton below Elmer. In that section
Italians are at work In the fields. The
average yield is from 100 to 120 bas-
kets per acre. Around DaIetown field
after field will yield from $50 to 500
baskets, 400 baskets being considered
very good. Newkirk VanMeter. of
Pole Tavern, has "a acres, from
which he expects a 400-basket yield.
Peter Scott of a large firm in Phila-
