Lind on Xaca ation

WASHINGTON, April 2-John Lind. former governor of Minnesota. and for the last eight months the presidents personal representative in Mexico. will sail from Vera Cruz tomorrow for
 Washington, aboard the presidential yacht Mayflower The president said the envoy had requested a rest from his labor in the tropical climate. He asserted the vacation should not be construed in the nature of recall
 or the forecasting of any change in
 policy toward the other faction in Mexico
 No negotiations of any character are pending between the Huerta gov
 ernment and the United States. recent conference between Senor Portillo Y. ROjas, Huerta's minister of
 foreign affairs, and Lind developed
 nothing tangible or important. It was merely a friendly talk.
 Except for fiVe-day trip to Pass Christian. Miss, last January, aboard
 the scout cruiser Chester, when he did not go ashore, Lind has been con- stantly observing Mexican affairs. In official circles, Lind's request for q vacation at this time is regarded as significant. It is taken to mean that he saw no prospect of Huerta yield | ing the reins of government in Mex ico City through diplomatic persua- sion, and that affairs will rema,n in statu quo pending the outcome of the march southward of the consti- , tutionalist forces.
 Huerta's message to congress yes terday, expressing the determination to remain in office until the country , is at peace, strengthened the belief here that Lind saw no chance to af- feet the situation in Mexico by his , continued presence, and oppOrtunely sought a vacation while no important
 questions are pending.

April 2-The tes- timony of the eastern railroads in sup port of their application for five per cent increase in freight rates was vir- tualIv concluded before the interstate commerce commission today Begin ming tomorrow the Lake -and-rail ship pers will be heard in opposition to the increase.
 Several railroad officials will be re- called for cross examination soon as counsel can digest their evidence. President Samuel Req of the Pennsyl- vana system. was on the stand nearly all day today. He said the present rates do not yield fair return on the capital invested. that the returns have been decreasing continuously and un- less the downward trend is arrested it would undermine the resources and cripple it's power to satisfactorily serve the public
 Req was closely examined by the commission counsel. In response to any inquiry by commissioner Clark as what had caused the net decrease in the operating revenues of about four
 million in the eight months of the present fiscal year as compared with the corresponding period of last year. the witness said: Falling off in ton mage and increase Of expenses of ope- i ration The latter was due to higher wage adjustments. semi monthly pay
