Wilson's Plan Frustrated.
For two days a mysterious reticence
has been apparent at the presidential
cottage, concerning the present con-
ference. When dispatches from Vera
Cruz announced that Mr.. Lind would
come to Pass Christian, there was q
noticeable manifestation of diSpleaS-
ure among the members of the presi-
dents party that his destination should
have been made public. President Will
son had hoped to slip quietly away
aboard the revenue cutter Winona for
q yachting trip and meet Mr.. Lind at
sea-
The same effort at secrecy with re-
spect to the Chester's whereabouts was
frustrated by wireless news Of her 10
cation near Ship Island last night.
President Goes to Cruiser.
For nearly "a hours Mr.. Lind was off
shore on the cruiser Chester before
meeting the president, and instead of
permitting the personal envoy to come
ashore, President Wilson took a trip
IN a twenty foot launch, mounted a
companionway to the revenue cutter
Winona and was trans shipped again
in uid-gulf to the Chester
The conference lasted until after s
O'Clock tonight when the president re-
turned to Gulfport where automobiles
were ready to take him to Pass Chris
tian. Just as much secrecy as char
acterized the presidents first meeting
with Mr.. Lind was evident on this
occasion.
All Information Denied.
Information as to what the presi-
dent intended TO do was denied the
newspaper correspondents here. A big
squad of them, however, was on hand
at the oyster dock at g o'clock when
President Wilson. accompanied by DR..
Cary T. Grayson and secret service
men, appeared
The revenue cutter Winona came as
close to shore as possible and sent a
launch for the president. Fifteen min
utes later the presidents flag was
hoisted on the mainmast of the cutter,
which turned her PROV seaward, fol-
lowed by tug chartered by the news

WILSON ROASTED.
London Spectator Scores Presidents
Mexican Policy.

London, Jan. 2.-The Spectator in an
article today on the Mexican situation
declares that the pressure of public
opinion in all the rest of the world
will soon force the United States to
intervene in Mexico. The article de-
clares that President Wilson made a
mistake In not assuming that Pres
ident Huerta would be the strongest
force with which to bring about peace
in Mexico and in supporting him ac-
cordingly; but IL adds that it under
stands perfectly the reasons why Mr..
Wilson did not adopt such a cynical
course.
Instead the article says, ''he did
want, with all respect, we must say
was the worst thing he could have
done. He intervened and pretended
not to be intervening; he deprecated
bloodshed and anarchy, and yet he
would neither stop it himself nor let
anyone else do 1t. The only way left
for the United States is for themselves
to restore order in Mexico.

Some Miners Returning.
While this was supposedly the last

striking employees, there was mani
fest a disposition not, to force this as
pect of affairs. Some applications for
work in the Keweenaw mines were
received, one manager stating he had
received enough to enable him to re-
sumo operations Monday.
AS the northernmoSt mines on the
