Washington.-Two hours of confer
ence Saturday night between President
Wilson. Secretary Bryan and the Sen
ate foreign relations committee
brought about no change in the atti-
tude of the administration toward
Mexico, but upon John Lind's report
will depend future action.
The president took the senators in
to his confidence far enough to out
line the following:
That John Lind. his special envoy to
Mexico City, does not bear any solu-
tion of the present situation. but goes
to continue this governments efforts
to induce Provisional President
Huerta to redeem his promises for
free and constitutional elections.
That under no circumstances does
the administration propose to recos-
nize the Huerta government.
That Mr. Lind has gone to Mexico
City to be the "eyes and ears" of the
Washington administration on the
ground, and to explain the attitude OF
this government when he has fully
familiarized himself with the situa-
ton.
That by withdrawing Ambassador
Wilson and sending Mr.. Lind the presi-
dent planned to have man on the
ground who was in sympathy with
the administration here. and was in
no sense factor in the situation in
Mexico City.
These policies and suggestions of
the president and Secretary Bryan
came out In general discussion. 1t
was made clear that the purpose of
the conference was to establish more
frank and intimate relations between
the Senate and the administration in
the development OF the Mexican
policy and IN the furthcrance of this
idea the president talked freely and
answered many pointed questions.
While the president disclosed no
definite plan for the pacificstion of
Mexico, the implication remained that
upon Lind's reports would depend to
large extent the future policy OF this
country.
There was practically no talk OF
lifting the embargo on the importa-
tion OF arms into Mexico. which some
members OF the committee believe
would put speedy end to the diff
culties.
The meeting was entirely friendly.
The president did most of the talking
and Secretary Bryan and members OF
the committee added n word here and
there. or the twelve men present only
two senators, Smith of Arizona and
Stone, are believers in policy of ulti-
mate Intervention.

mained at his desk until lohg after
midnight to receive the news.

Makeup of the Trust.

The parties to this combination or
understanding or community OF inter
est, by whatever name 1t may be
called, may be conveniently classified
for the purpose of differentiation into
separate groups.
"First-The first, which for cOnven-
fence of statement we will call the in
ner group. consists of J. 2. Morgan &
Co, the recognized leaders. and George
It. Baker and James Stillman in their
individual capacities and in their joint
administration and control of the First
National bank, the National City bank,
the National Bank of Commerce. the
Chase National bank, the Guaranty
Trust company and the Bankers Trust
company, with total known resources
in these corporations alone in excess
of 81 300 100000, and of a number of
smaller but important financial insti-
tutions. This takes no account of the
personal fortunes of these gentlemen.

banks: also with interests and repre-
sentation in other important New Eng

ninistered by Cupid of most interest
on this side of the pond is that Of Miss

to DR. Richard Derby, a young physi-
clan. of New York city
Few young women are more widely
known than Miss Roosevelt, who holds
the distinction of having spent more
time in the White House than any
young girl before her and who made
her debut in society at ball in the
White House in December, 1908. Her
coming marriage, which is likely to
take place this spring Will be an event
of widespread social Importance.
It is said that DR. Derby's ability as
a horseman first inclined Miss Roose-
welt. herself an ardent lover of horses,
to favor his suit. Miss Ethels opinion
of a mollycoddle is as marked as that
of her distinguished father, and most
assuredIy there is nothing of the weak
ling about DR.. Derby.
As an oarsman he made his mark at
Harvard. He was one of the Crimson's
gridirou heroes, and his classmates

about as high an honor as can be be

idly growing concentration of the con-

IF by the term money trust is
meant a combination or ARRANGEMENT
created and existing pursuant to a
definite agreement between designated
persons with the avowed and accom-
plished object Of concentrating unto
themselves the control Of money and
credit we are unable to say that the
existence of a money trust has been
established in that broad. bald sense
of the term, although the committee
regrets to find that, even adopting that
extreme definition. surprisingly many

ut would. OF course. be absurd to
suggest that control of the bulk of the
widely distributed wealth of a great
nation can be corraIled by any set of

tlemen who deny the existence OF a
money trust your committee agrees
with them. Such a thing would, of
course, be impossible, and its sugges-
ton is ridiculous. 1t is not. however,
necessary that a group of men shall

Of the country in order to monopolize
