he has come to believe with many
others that it was a useless war and
that the people on both sides were
somewhat misguided.

Italians Thought Baseball Brutal.

The unfamiliarity Of the Italians
with baseball was demonstrated by
the refusal of the authorities to per-
NIT an exhibition game between the
New York team of the National
League and the Chicago team Of the
American League, without first being
convinced that it was not brutal
game" After the points of the game
were explained the authorities still
insisted that a net be erected within
the stadium to protect the spectators.
Even when promises were given that
this precaution would be taken per-
mission was withheld until Wednes-
day at noon, when few innings Will
be played for the benefit of the au-
thorities who desire to judge for them
selves what manner of game the
American national pastime is.

parture of the scout cruiser Chester.
bearing John Lind, the Presidents
personal envoy, back to Mexico, to
continue his observations of Mexican
affairs, the mystery which has en-
veloped Mr.. Lind's visit to President
Wilson was only partially cleared.
Just why the nations chief execu-
tive decided not to permit Mr.. Lind to
have any shore leave" and took upon
himself the inconvenience of being
transshipped four times at sea, has not
been explained. President Wilson
volunteered no explanation, but one
OF the suppositions current is that he
did not wish the special envoy to be
subjected to the inquisition of news
paper correspondents. Another theory
is that the President desired to show
Mexico that there is no change in the
American policy and no actual inter
ruption of Mr. Lind's mission to
Mexico
The peculiar movements of the reve-
nue. cutter Winona and the long DELAY
before the President and Mr.. Lind
actually met were partly accounted
for when it became known that the
lack of wireless facilities on the reve-
nue. cutter had confused plans. When
the Chester reported her arrival. the
Winona's launch had to make a IS
mile trip to shore and back again be-
fore arrangements could be made for
the Presidents visit.
The President was the only source
OF information concerning the confer
ence with Mr.. Lind. He spoke of it
only in broad generalities, declaring
that nothing specific had been de
veloped, and that nothing of any
definite character occasioned the
meeting. The President asserted that
he discussed no particular plan of
action.
He referred to the conference as a
"get together talk" He explained that
although Mr. Lind constantly had been
sending dispatches, a conversation of
q few hours had been deemed worth
more than weeks of telegraphic com
munication with the added value of
atforing an exchange of viewpoint re-
garding the situG ton.
President Wilson added that there
had been no special occasion for Mr.
Lind's visit-no advices, excitement or
new questions.
When asked if he was more hope
full for speedy settlement of the trou-
BILE, Mr.. Wilson made it clear that his
personal view of the situation had not
changed. The President has held that
the Huerta government is slowly being
crushed, not only by the constitu-
tionalist force, but through incessant
isolation, and that inevitably it must

COLD STORAGE
TRAIL WARM
Officials Believe Developments
Will Lead to Prosecutions.
VIGOROUS PROBE KEPT UP.
Combination Alleged To Be Among
Comm ission Merchants and Pro-
ducers, Not Plant
Owners.

Washington Investigator of the
cold-storage trust by the Department
of Justice has progressed so far that
officials are confident they have found
trails which eventually Will lead to
prosecutions in the courts.
Although the operations of the deal
ers, believed to be leaders in the COM
bination, have been confined to sew
eral large cities, the department has
redoubled its vigor in the last few
weeks. Officials expect to uncover
evidence which will connect these
dealers and make them amenable to
the Sherman Antitrust act.
Within the last few days requests
have reached Washington from several
United States District Attorneys for
help to carrying on the Investigations
Several special agents have been de-
tailed for this work. Their reports
probably will be made to Washington
in the next few weeks and the Attor-
ney General and his assistants will
determine the advisaIility of beginning
antitrust proceedings.
Although department officials are
unwilling to discuss the cOld-stOrage
investigation, it is known that the gen.
eral impression that the owners Of
cold-storage plants are involved in the
alleged combination is incorrect. In
only a few instances do the owners
make use of their plants for storing
their own products. In practically
every case commission merchants and
producers themselves rent cold-storage
space. The combination which the
department win prosecute if sufficient
evidence is forthcoming will be among
the commission merchants.

MORGAN BOWS TO
PUBLIC SENTIMENT.
Withdraws From More Than a
Score of Great Corporations.
G. F. BAKER TO FOLLOW SUIT
Though Members Of Morgan Firm
Resign From Twenty-Seven Cor
porations, They Are Still In Di-
rectorates OF Many Concerns.

New York.-The withdrawal of J. P
Morgan & Co. from more than a score
of great corporations and the state
ment shortly afterward by George F.
Baker, an almost equally dominant
figure in American finance, that he
soon would take similar action, gave
Wall street generally a thrill which al
most brought trading on the stock ex-
change to a halt.
While ii is probably true that many
of the prominent bankers had infor-
nation foreshadowing this momentous
move toward ending interlocking di-
rectOrates, the public and brokers had
no advance knowledge of what was
taking place in the inner councils of
the greatest of all American houses Of
finance. Wherever telephone and
ticker flashed the news about the
street groups of men gathered to dis
Cuss what was the all-absorbing topic.
Mr.. Morgan, departing from his
firms traditional policy of silence,
made a public statement announcing
the withdrawal of five members Of j.
P Morgan & Co. from directorships in
q corporations and the intention to
withdraw from more.
Change In Sentiment Cause.
Mr.. Morgan's statement follows:
The necessity of attending many
board meetings has been so serious a
burden upon our time that we have
long wished to withdraw from the di-
rectorates of many corporations Most
of these directorships We have accept
ed with reluctance, and only because
We felt constrained to keep in touch
with properties which we had reorgan-
lied, or whose securities We had
recommended to the public, both here
and abroad.
AN apparent change in public senti-
ment in regard to directorships seems
now 60 warrant US in seeking to re-
sign from some of these connections.
Indeed, it may be, in view of the
change in sentiment upon the subject,
that we shall be in a better position
to serve such properties and their
security holders, if We are not di-
rectors. We have already resigned
from the companies mentioned, and
we expect from time to time to with
draw from other boards upon which
we feel there is no special obligation
to remain"
