LIND RETURNING In
SEARCH OF "REST''
Steps Believed to Indicate Ac-
ton with Regard to Mexico
Is Near.

Washington. April John Lind, the
personal representative whom President
Wilson sent to Mexico about eight
months ago to tell Nictoriano Huerta
that he must quit the Presidency, Will
start home tomorrow. The announce
ment was made by the President to-day.
1t was unexpected and constitutes about
the only item of Mexican news that the
administration has voluntarily made pub
lie in months.
The expressed purpose of giving out
the information in advance was to fore
stall speculation as to the purport of Mr..
Linds business in the United States at
this time. 1t was said that he was COM
ing back for rest. He will return on
the Mayflower and will go, it is stated,
TO French Lick. Later he will come to
Washington.
Despite the disclaimer by the admins
tration. it is considered likely that Mr..
Lind's visit will be more or less syn
chronous with some further action by
the administration with regard to the
Mexican situation. The correspondent of
The Tribune is informed that the Presi-
dents general scheme of action contem-
plates some further step soon, probably
within two or three weeks.
Mr. Lind. when seen in Vera Cruz two
weeks ago to-day. was in splendid health,
although it was obvious that he was sick
OF his task There we're rumors in Vera
cruz that he was not in entire accord
with tie administrators policy or
rather lack OF policy. but as to this
Silent John" as he is known in the
Mexican seaport. would say nothing.
At that time he had no plans, as far
of absence IL Is true that he was tired
OF his apparently aimless and fruitless
task, and found life in little Vera Cruz
excessively dull. He had naught 20 do
but sit around the American Consulate
all day long taking occasional walks over
the sand hills which surround the town.
He Is under the constant guard Of United
states marines. When he walks through
the streets a sergeant OF marines follows
at a strategical distance In the rear.
What is coming In Mexico is not known
here, but 1t is felt certain that the Pres
ident's policy oontemplates some action
within a short time. Despite the Pres
dents recent disclaimer, II Is considered
not at all unlikely that the Mexican
situation is connected with the tolls mat
ter II that is adjusted to the satisfaction
tho administration to obtain England
support when It comes TO taking real
action In Mexico.

TARIFF AND WAR
CUT SHIP TRAFFIC
Mexican Situation and Fear in
Business Circles Blamed
for Loss.

4 general reaction in transatlantic
steamship business, particularly in the
passenger traffic to Europe. is being felt
While the eastward bookings for the
summer and the westward fall bookings
are coming in, they are not rs good as
last year.
Uncertainty over the Mexican situation
and the ultimate effect Of the new tariff
upon business are the chief factors. II Is
said in the falling off of transatlantic
travel. Low freight rates and the dimin-
ishing demand for freight are credited
for the depression in steamship business
bv Philip Heinecken, director general VI
the North German Lloyd Line.
After the annual meeting of the COM
pany in Bremen yesterday, at which the
board Of directors voted an per Gel
dividend. Herr Heinecken sent the follow
ing cable message TO the local office:
THE prospects for good year in the
steamship business are not as bright as
they were a year ago. The excellent re-
suits. however, shown by the North Ger
man Lloyd last year have placed the com
pany on such a sound financial basis that
the outlook for a less prosperous year
may be viewed without alarm"
Director General Heinecken said that
the lowered steerage rates, in consequence
of the Withdrawal OF the lines from the
agreement, also had affected the revenues
for the year.

Eight Women Who Accuse
DR.. Price Are Expected
to Take Stand.
VEIL OF MYSTERY
OVER PROCEEDINGS
Lawyer Who Drew Up. Charges
Hints Courts Idea Is to
"WhiteWash" Minister.

The Rev. DR.. Jacob Embury Price. who
will be up for trial by a special commit
tee of the New York Conference OF the
Methodist Episcopal Church, will. ii is ex-
pected. he brought face TO face to-day
with the eight women members OF his
congregation who are his accusers.
While much mystery was thrown around
the proceedings of the committee OF ff-
teen appointed TO try the accused pastor.
IL beca ne known that several meetings
were held yesterday. in which the COM
mittee organized itself into a court. Tho
trial, 1t was announced. would begin this
morning ut 10 o'clock in the Metropolitan
Temple. in Seventh avenue. near 18th
street
There were rumors yesterday that
Claude Dore, the lawyer. of No. 10 TX
change Place. who drew up the bill OF
charges against DIR. Price. and the Rev.
Arthur Jameson, who was appointed to
act in the capacity Of prosecutor, were
not in harmony Dr. jameson admitted
yesterday that he had not read the
charges. and did not know their nature.
Mr.. Dore's wife is the. principal accuser
in the case.
II feel certain that this trial will be a
farce" said Mr.. Dore 1t is their idea
to whitewash him.
Mr.. Dore said that the whole course
of the Church authorities had been TO
shield the accused pastor. That he
(Dore) had offered to Bishop Wilson an
of the women in which case. if tho
Bishop had desired, he could have asked
DIR. Price TO retire without any publicity.
Besides the alleged kissing episodes. the
pastor is charged with sending anony-
nous letters. and having done other
things unbecoming a minister OF the
gospel.
Dr. Price will be present at the trial.
not merely incidentally, it was explained.
but in accordance with the judicial
methods of ecclesiastical trials. The
Methodist Churchs Book of Discipline"
provides that the court shall in all cases
where practicable bring accused and ac-
cuser face to face" the idea being that
the ordeal will tend 10 bring out the
truth.
II was admitted yesterday that charges
against DR.. Price, which were at first re-
garded lightly by the conference at large.
are now looked upon as serious. Regret
was expressed that the impression had
got abroad that there was any intention
of holding trial as mere formality.
with the intention Of generating the ac-
cused pastor.

shelter they were doomed to succumb
to hunger and exposure.
The first reports of the loss of the
men of the Newfoundland were confused
and were generally accepted as re-
ferring to the Southern Cross, and it
was not until late in the day that the
identity Of the unfortunate crew was
dc. ermned. Early information that the
Newfoundland had been sunk by the
ice proved untrue. Wireless messages
describing the loss of her seal hunters
were read as referring TO the ship it
self There is still some doubt as to
how the vessel survived the storm. but
as the latest messages from the Bella
venture and the Stephano make no
mention to the contrary, it is assumed
that the ship still floats.

NAV Talk on Amendments.

Indications are that an effort will be
made TO set back as far as possible me
report of the repeats bill from the
committee. 1t was announced to-day
that the authors of the resolutions and
amendments to the bill now before the
senate will have an opportunity TO OK
plain The virtues of their schemes be-
fore the Committee on Interoceanlc
Canals. Senators Chiffon, Lewis, Fan,
Norris and Thomas have proposed
either .bstitute measures for the re-
peal bill or amendments to 1t and II
they decided to advocate their cause
before he committee several days may
be consumed in the discussion.
Several persons from all parts of the
country have also asked for an opp0r-
tunitv TO be heard by the Senate conf
mjttee before action is taken. 1t is
not probable. however, that hearings
will be afforded them. This question
will be decided finally by the committee
itself when it meets next Tuesday.
NO compromise" was the slogan of
the administration leaders in their con
ferences. So many bills and resolu-
lions have been introduced tending to
cloud the plain issue Of repeal that Y
has been determined to make 1t plain
from the outset that no temporizing is
10 be countenanced.
President Wilson told inquirers that
he expected no factional delay or fill
clustering, and had every reason to be-
lieve from what Senators told him that
there would be a prompt report from
the Committee on Interoceanic Canals.
The President said there were one or
two members of the committee who
were against the repeal, but who, he
understood. would vote 10 bring the
question promptly before the Senate in
an early report. incidentally, the
President took occasion 10 deny pub
nshed reports that he had sent any
ultimatum TO the Senate through Sen
ator owen or any one else with view
TO forcing early action. He had done
nothing. he said ale this line. He
added that no proposals for compro-
mise or change in the repeal measure
had been brought to him, and sug-
rested that amendments were not
being offered by administration lead
