PUZZLED BY THE FAILURE
OF GOV. LIND TO RETURN
TO THE MEXICAN CAPITAL
By \. a. JENNINGs.

Mexico City. Aug. 29.-John Lind, spe-
cial envoy Of President Wilson, fur
nished the one big mystery OF the Mexi-
can situation today. No one was more
puzzled than attaches OF the American
Embassy. who had confidently expected
Mr.. Lind to arrive here early in the day
from Vera Cruz and again take up the
negotiations with the Huerta admins
tration.
He failed TO arrive at the Stime set
which was a great disappointment to
Nelson O'Shaughnessy, American charge
d'affaires. 1t was O'Shaughnessy, and not
the Mexican government, that called Mr.
Lind back to this city. The government
officials declare there is no intention on
Gen. Huerta's part to yield TO the de-
mand for his resignation, and they pro-
fess to be unable to tell why Mr.. Lind
was summoned.
O'Shaughnessy was as uncommunicatiVe
as the Mexican officials.
why did you send for Lind?' he was
asked.
"Oh, on general principles" was his
reply. II have not the slightest idea
whether he will: return, as / have not
received an answer TO my telegram asking
him to do so.
II was informed by a man in close touch
with the American side of the negotia-
tions today that Lind would not return
unless Huerta resigned, and from present
indications, Huerta will never resign
When this was put up TO O'Shaughnessy
he was apparently optimistic, but declined
to give his reasons. saying he had no
news and would not be surprised at any
action now by the Mexican government
The exodus Of Americans continues, but
there are many who refuse to leave while
the relations OF the two countries are
peaceful. All who have inquired Of For

Sherbrooke. Aug. 29-Charges OF brib-

side OF the legal quarrel, and caused a
decided commotion.

up hornets nest in the legal camp He
asserted that attempts had been made
to bribe and coerce Magistrate A. l..
Dupuis, who committed Harry X. Tbaw
to the sherbrooke Jail after he had been
arrested near Coaticook, where Dupuis
holds forth.
The commitment signed by Dupuis was
the means OF the legal coup through
which the Thaw lawyers are keeping
their client in Jail, instead OF leaving him
to the tender merC.es OF the immigration
officials.

personal friend OF the lawyer. declared
that Dupuis had been threatened with
arrest unless he came here at once and
corrected the commitment papers which
sent Thaw to jail on the ground that he
had been an inmate OF ''penitentiary"
on a criminal charge
The attorney asserted that the attempt
at coercion had come from high official
sources. and when this failed, bribery
had been attempted.

efforts to get help from the Quebec

Thaw will remain in Jail until next

This sentence in the instructions sent
out by the State Department to consular
agents in Mexico became public yester-
day. 1t materially strengthens the hand
of the President, and removes all suspi-
cion of uncertainty from the policy enun-
ciated in his recent address on the Mexi-
can situation. This sentence, which was
sent by wire and courier to all parts of
Mexico. is expected to have a most salu-
tary effect upon a growing contempt for
Americans and their government on the
part of lawless elements in Mexico. 1t is
such a warning as, IL issued eighteen
months ago, would have prevented, in the
opinion of persons well informed on
Latin-American affairs, such a serious
crisis as President Wilson now is called
upon to meet
To Use Plain Language.
Although in certain quarters the opIn-
ion was expressed that such a warning
would stir up anti-American feeling and
offset the good effects so far attained
by the new policy, the general hope was
that from now on a spade would be
threat of the mailed fist substituted for
a seasick. broken-winged and thoroughly
discouraged dove of peace in the Mexican
tangle.
There are now, II is estimated, about
1000 Americans in Mexico. In the last
few weeks as many more have left the
troubled country. About 1900 will require
financial assistance to get out. Thou

vice and leaving their homes for safer

ANCIENT CRIME UNPAID FOR
Murder 700 Years Ago Still Causes
Annual Tribute to Be Paid by
the Community.

Seven hundred years ago some shep-
herds Of the Valley of Roncal, in Ma
varra, were murdered by shepherds of
the Valley of Bareton, in Bearn, the
crime taking place on the high pasture
lands of Aries, in the Pyrenees.
1t would have been difficult to bring
the murderers individually to justice,
and the Spaniards were preparing to
make war upon the valley from which
the French murderers had come, when
the French village proposed that peace
be maintained at the price Of a yearly
tax or tribute, to endure for all time,
and this proposition was accepted
without demur.
The payment of this blood tax

The French are particularly elo-

Among their famous chefs are recog-

Veloute, Bechamel and German. The
Spanish and Veloute were known AZ
far back as the seventeenth century
In the eighteenth they were modified
by the masters of cookery, particular
iy by Careme, who was called the

regarded the Varney house and her
self as chessboard and a pawn in
the game. The strength of character
which had enabled him to assume the
unenviable part he played, because OF
his country's need, for his country's
good, and which would have carried
him through the obloquy and scorn
that were sure to be visited upon him
with death at the end--did not stand

his passion, and broke his self-im-

woman who should accept his affec-
tions would compromise herself for
ever In the eyes Of everything she
held dear, even If he succeeded and
lived, which was unlikely.
He had never, so he fancied, in the
least and remotest way given her any
evidence that he loved her. In reality,
she had read him like an open book,

Falling three stories to be unhurt,
a two-year-old child named Phillips
had a notable escape from death at
Weehawken, n. j., the other day. The
child had been left alone for a few
moments in room Of his parents
house, when he climbed on a chair in
front of an open window and gazed
out. Later his mother heard a scream
and rushed into the room to find the
child gone. He had crawled out of
the window and had fallen three sto-
ries. The frightened mother rushed
down the stairs and found the baby
unhurt. He had just grazed a picket
fence and the pickets had caught his
clothing, held him for a moment, and
then dropped him gently to the pave
ment.
