PRESIDENT MEETS LIND.
Consultation Held in Cabin of Scout
Cruiser Chester.

Pass Christian, Miss, Jan. 3.-Pres-
ident Wilson and John Lind, his per.
sonai representative In Mexico, last
night sat an the cabin Of the scout
cruiser Chester, deeply absorbed in a
discussion of the Mexican situation.
1t was their first meeting since
last July, when the President con-
ferred with Lind at the White House
preparatory to the latter's, departure
for Mexico City with instructions
thilt created diplomatic episode IN
American history.
For two days mysterious reticen-
cy has been apparent at the Presi-
dental cottage, concerning the pres
ent conference. When dispatches
from Vera Cruz announced that Lind
would come to Pass Christian, there
was noticeable manifestation OF
displeasure among the members OF
the Presidents party that his des-
tination should have been made pub,
lic. President Wilson had hoped to
slip quietly away aboard the revenue
cutter Winona "for yachting trip
and meet Lind at sea.
The same effort at secrecy with re-
spect to the Chester's whereabouts
was frustrated by wireless news OF
chr location near Ship Island last
night
So far as the officials in the State
Department know the meeting CT
President Wilson and his persona
representative in Mexico, John Lind
was arranged merely for the purpos'
of consultation and to afford Line
an opportunity to personally repor
his views and impressions. 1t i
assumed that the American envoy ha
acquired much information during HI:
six months stay in the City OF Mex
leo and Vera Cruz, beyond that which
be has included in his written ant
cabled reports. Without attracting at
tention and sometimes without escor
he has made various excursions lnu
the interior of the country and ma
been in conference with Mex4can!
oof all shades of opinion.
Consequently officials here thin
Lind should be in a position to rende
q we'll grounded opinion as to, th
probable length of life of the Huert'
government and the conditions tina
may be expected to follow its down
fall. D.. IS %: .
The weight of opinion in Washing
ton is that the conference viii mar
the development by the President Q
another step in the policy he abs lai
down in regard to the treatment o
the Mexican question. It admltte
that just what may be is matter Q
conjecture, with the possibility tha
the answer nlay be afforded by tn
movements Of John Lind hiIasel
within the next day or two.

as their fiesta and carnival will pc

For livery considerate = sun, the
crew offers to pack Hans, bag and bag

4 sideshow attraction; but the authori;
ties at the agriculture and forestry
bureau are not in favor Of the plan,
and they state there are very good
reasons why Hans should remain aboard
the Holsatia, whether or not he Is fully
APPRECIATED there. ~ Y F. w
YET they have spoken against the
ambitions 'of Hans without knowing
his drag. He has drag "from here
