CHARGE D'AFFA|RS
O'SHAUGHNESSY TO
CONFER WITH LIND,

Mexico City. Jan. THE American
charge d'affaires, Nelson O'Shaughnes-
sy left for Vera Cruz tonight in re-
sponse to a request from John Lind,
President Wilson's personal represen-
tative. to call on him there. The charge
was accompanied by Mrs. O'Shaugh-
messy, but their little son was left be-
hind in the capital. This fact was
cited by the charge as indicating his
early return and to allay any uneasi-
ness that his trip might cause. He
requested the publication of the SUBJ
stance of Mr.. Lind's telegram, which
merely stated that he desired Mr..
OShaughnesesy to come at his conven-
fence, so that he might present to the
charge personally the Presidents COM
pliments.
1t is reported here that two Mexi-
cans accompanied Mr.. Lind on his re-
cent trip on the scout cruiser Chester
to Pass Christian. These two men are
said to have been Sebastian Camacho
an old Conservative officer of the Diaz
regime and Antonio Paradez, attorney
of tho Catholic church in the capital.
The reported presence of the latter has
being played by Archbishop Mora in
tho settlement of tn Mexican difficult
ties. TIL archbishop and othr church
dignataries have been pleading with
those close to Huerta to obtain from
the President whatever concessions
might be necessary to bring about
peace. Independent of these efforts, it
is known that others, including high
military officers. have attempted to-
persuade the President of the necessity
of resigning.
The report that Huerta is inclined
to take steps that will leave the pres
ent minister of justice Senor Geros-
tieta, as his successor has gained i'm
petus. Another report is current that
a new slate will be proposed to Gen.
Huerta by another group which would
place Gen. Jose Velaco now command
ing at Torreon, in the presidency: Gen.
Tauro Villar, another officer of the
Diaz regime in the ministery of war.
and Francisco De La Barra in the min
istry of foreign affairs.
The financial situation was not i'm
proved today by the Presidents de-
cree making the notes of state banks
legal tender, but it is pointed out that
no change could be effected by the
decree until sufficient time elapsed to
learn what number of state banks
would be able to subscribe their part
of the guarantee redemption fund. So
scarce has silver currency become, not
only in the capital but in the other
towns under control of the central
government, that the commercial
houses are transacting business with
the greatest difficulty. The managers
of many big concerns are considering
the advisability of closing their doors.
A few houses have issued script for
varying amounts, which is being ac-
cepted at the face value. This meas
ure is contrary to law.

DESIGN FOR THE TITANIC
MEMORIAL IS SELECTED.

New York, Jan. before sailing
for Europe this morning Mrs. John
Hays Hammond, secretary of the Wo-
mans Titanic Memorial, announced
that the design executed by Mrs. Har-
ry Payne Whitney for the memorial

dreds of prominent women throughout

of the memorial, which will be wo-
mans tribute to heroic manhood, as
exemplified in the Titanic disaster.
Mrs. Whitney's design is a figure of
a man, symbolical of heroism. The
figure, in white marble stands with
arms outstretched and head thrown
back, giving the impression from
distance of the crucffix.
The figure which is nearly nude,
stands Is feet high.
