LIND REMAINS ABOARD
THE CRUISER CHESTER
No Conference With the President
Is Reported Yet From Pass
Christian.

PASS CHRISTIAN, Miss. January 3
Mystery enveloping the visit here of John
Lind, President Wilson's special envoy
to Mexico, ever since his coming was an
nounced, continued today with the re-
where the President would see him.
Mr.. Lind remained aboard the scout
cruiser Chester early today. having ar
rived off Ship Island. eight miles below
here, last night The revenue cutter
Winona was waiting to transfer Mr.
Lind, but up to 8 o'clock no move had
been made.
Reason for the secrecy maintained with
repard to every phase of nir. LIND S
visit Notwithstanding announcement by
the Presidents envoy himself as to his
coming is puzzling the correspondents
here
OF No Especial Significance.
Although permission had been granted
Mr.. Lind to come several days ago. the
dispatches quoting him as saying he
would leave Vera Cruz for the United
States were met at the presidential cot
tage with the statement that IF the re-
port is true his visit is of no especial
Significance
The doubt which then was expressed
as to Mr. Iind's coming yesterday was
increased by failure to receive any word
from the Chester, and 1T was believed
that the President had absolutely no
advices from the vessel at any time dur
ing its journey. circumstance which
caused a day of anxiety, and interfered
with Mr. wilson plans for recreation:
The President gotfed as usual today.
Interested in Morgan's Action.
.GULFPoRT, Miss. January 2.-Presi-
dent Wilson had just completed his daily
game of golf here today when the As
sociated Press dispatch telling of the re-
tirement of j. p. Morgan & Co. from the
directorates Of many important corpora
tions was read to him.
The President listened attentively to
the details. which included the statement
of Mr.. Morgan
"Tnat is very interesting he said at
it's conclusion. Asked if he had any
thing to say regarding the matter. Mr..
Wilson smiled and answered:
."Oh, no." He then entered his auto
mobile and returned to Pass Christian.
President Wilson has been deeply alb
sorbed in the preparation here of the
message he expects to read to Con-
gress on his return to Washington
dealing with the trusts and big busi-
ness" One of the chief subjects with
which he expects to deal is interlock-
ing directorates. That the President
confidently expects legislation from
the present session of Congress on this
phase of the trust problem is known
to those with whom he conferred be-
fore leaving Washington.
Withdrawal from the discussion of the
currency bill in the House Of pro-
vision with respect to interlocking direc-
torates was with the Presidents consent
and with the assurance to it's advocates
that separate legislation would be forth
coming at the regular session Of Con-
gress.

THE necessity of attending many

burden upon our time that we have ionG
wished to withdraw from the director

these directorships we have accepted
with reluctance, and only because we

An apparent change in public senu-
ment in regard to directorShlps seems
now TO warrant us in seeking TO resign
from some OF these connections. In
deed il may be, in view of the change
