make 1t possible TOT Lind ana Gam boa, and even Huerta himself, to meet later on for personal talk.
 The chief difficulty at present is, of course, proceeding in this manner without recognizing the de facto gov ernment. It is believed by the presi- dent and secretary of state that this can be done. But, although the off cials are more hopeful than at any time since Lind was started on his mission that he may be able to accom- plish something toward final peace, the fact that he may fail is not being overlooked. Every effort is being made to bring destitute Americans back to the States and light-draught gunboats and war craft are being sent to positions where they will be avail able for rescue work if needed.
 Won't Talk With Rebels.
 It can be stated on authority that Lind will make no effort while sizing up the situation in Mexico City to ollCStiy With thO gents in the field. Such step would not only subject him to severe criti- cism, but would be a violation of eth. ics which would rob his mission of it's effectiveness. He may talk with friends of the Constitutionalist lead. CTS and glean from them information that will be of avail later on, but un. der no circumstances will he proceed into territory held by Carranza and his followers at the present time.
 It is estimated that it might require a month for Lind to determine the success or failure of his mission. Mex. jeans work proverbially slow where diplomatic affairs are concerned. In view of the unofficial character of the envOy's position, he will have to work far more deliberately than were he the American ambassador with all of such an officials power

ENVOY'S MISSION HELPED BY FRIENDLY ATTITUDE OF FOR

NO DICTATION OR DEMANDS
Charge d'Affaires Will Attempt to Pave Way for lnd's Presentation of Case-Latter Will Not Com
 municate With Rebels.

Washington, Aug. 13.-Defnite progress is being made in Mexico City in the furtherance of the admin istration plan to secure peace in Mex ico. This much is admitted at the state department How far Envoy Lind has progressed is known only to himself, President Wilson and Secre- tary of State Bryan. Lind is in com munication with Washington by code and is keeping his superiors informed. Until something material has been ac- complished the public will not be ad- vised.
 The tension in Mexico is reported as greatly lessened. There now is no longer open fear that Lind is in dan ger. The friendly attitude assumed by Frederick Gamboa, new minister of foreign relations, has helped greatly. He was scheduled to receive visit from Nelson Shaughnessey, Ameri- can charge daffaires, in the immedi- ate future, possibly today. The lat tsr planned to acquaint him with some of the views of Envoy Lind to pave the way for the initiation of the administration plan to bring about peace

No Demand to Be Made.

There will be no attempt at present to make any demand or even strong suggestion to the de facto govern ment. Such move might precipi- tate a crisis, which is the one thing this government desires to avoid O'Shaughnessey will acquaint Gam boa with the fact that this govern ment is extremely desirous of seeing Mexican affairs restored on stable basis. He will point out our absolute disinterestedness in the premises and will explain to the foreign minister just the status of Envoy Lind. It will be made very clear that Lind's off cial position is that of adviser to the embassy and that he will make no at tempt to dictate anything.
 It was not believed here that O'Shaughnessey would even attempt to take up the Huerta status. It is recognized that the provisional presi- dent is constitutionally barred from becoming a candidate at the regular election, and all that will be said on that line, according to the best in- formation obtainable, is that the cleo tions should be held at the earliest possible moment and every effort made to secure a real expression of the will of all of the Mexicans.
 Objects of Conference.
 The best that can be hoped for as the result of the first conference be- tween O'Shaughnessey and Gamboa is the establishment of friendly rela- tions. It will open the way for gen. eral negotiations later It also will

MORE MONEY
GAINED FOR
BALL CLUB
ABOUT $4OO PLEDGED FRIDAY
Members Of Committee Spent
Another Day at Work

Another addition was made to the
fund for the baseball club YESTERDAY
when about $4O0 was pledged by the
members of the club who worked on
the subscription list all the day. This
makes total of approximately $1,000
pledged in two days by the members
of the committee.
While this additional sum does not
by any means guarantee league base
ball for Americus, the members of the
committee feel hopeful that the requi-
site sum will yet be pledged. The sub
scriptions made the last few days have
encouraged them to continue the work.
AS today is Saturday there will likely
by little done in the woy of efforts to
pledge further money, but the work
will be resumed as soon as Monday
comes.
The total amount pledged so far is
approximately $4,000. This is far less
than is sufficient to guarantee the team
as it is estimated that it will require
about $4,000 for that purpose. 1t may
be seen from this that there is much
to be done to secure the complete
amount needed. The members of the
committee that has been at work the
past two days have done exceptionally
good work, as most of their subscrip-
tions have been for small amounts. 1t
takes a number of these to foot up a
hundred dollars.
Yesterday there were only two mem
bers of the committee at work, as Mr..
G. D. Wheatley, Jr., was detained by
work at the bank. Messrs. Homer Dam
iels and Carl Ansley, however, held UP
the honors of the committee in COM
mendable manner They secured, as
has been said, approximately $400 from
the canvass yesterday. The fans must
come to the rescue of the club, if the
league franchise is to be retained. The
response given by the people of the city
the last few days has been generous,
bit it is not yet sufficient to secure the
franchise. u

ECONOMY IS
ADVOCATED BY
PRES. WILSON
WILL GUARD The TREASURY
Doesn't Like the Big ApprO-
pFlatIODS

Washington, March President
Wilson took under consideration today
economy of administration and So
called class legislation.
Chairman Fitzgerald, OF the house
appropriation committee, discussing
with the president the question of ap-
preparations for the coming session,
recalled that Mr.. Taft had vetoed the
sundry civil bill because of proyis-
ions to prevent the government from
using a certain sum to enforce tho
Sherman law against labor unions or
farmers organizations.
President Wilson took firm posi-
ton, it was said, behind Mr.. Fits-
gerald for rigid economy.
1t was known that he looked appre-
hensively from Trenton at the appro-
priations for the last congress.
Mr.. Wilson had before him in New
Jersey a situation where labor organ
izations of the state, prompted by
President Gompers, of the American
Federation of Labor, objected vigor-
ously to one Of the seven sister,
antitrust laws, on the ground that
they restricted labor unions FROM mal..
ing agreements with corporations ir
individuals as to wages, hours, et,.
They suggested that the bill be
amended, but Mr. Wilson insisted that
such an amendment would be class
legislation, forbidden under New Jer-
sey's constitution. He contended, toe,
that New Jersey courts had not and
could not include labor unions within
the scope of corporation regulations
Federal legislation, he told the labor
leaders, might be different.
Some of the presidents confdantes
think that if the provisions exempt
ing labor unions from prosecution
were included in the sundry civil bill,
again Mr.. Wilson fould be inclined to
Influence their elimination, preferring
to postpone the enunciation of the
governments policy until revision
of the Sherman antitrust law was
attempted. Mr.. Wilson is known to
be in favor of strengthening the
Sherman antitrust law, so that its
jurisdiction may be explicitly under-
stood
