MAY RECONSIDER THE LIND PLAN REJECTION Merely Effort to Gain Time, Hold Some Wilson Will Not Recede from His "- Position. By Associated Press.. Washington, Aug. 23. Developments- In the Mexican situation were moving swiftly today toward a point which officials expected to determine whether President Wilson would read his special message to xongress Tues day. Direct advices from Mexico that Provisional President Huerta wished to reconsider his rejection of the American proposals before President Wilson laid the negotiations bare be foro the world have changed the sit-, uation, and today the president's plane were contingent upon the moves of the next few hours. , President Wilson Interrupted work on his message long enough today to Bet a few hours' recreation on the golf links. It is his usual week-end diver sion and the president seldom per mits anything to Interfere with it. Suggestions have been made to the Washington government, since the ex change of notes, whicn indicate a ten dency on tho part of the Huertu offi cials to delay the Issue. The pub lished report In Mexlca. City that Kmllio Rabasa would be sent to Wash ington by Huerta. on a enriHdentlal mission is credited here to the extent that it Is known that 1 1 mm a has un der consideration a plan to send an envoy to the United States t( talk f n irririally with President Wilson, Just ai Mr. Una did with Huerta. It ic believed, howovur, that Frederii'o Gamboa, minister of foreign relation?, would be tho man .chosen by Huerta for the mission, tf such la Intended. r i Whether such a suggestion would meet the approval of tho United States la not known as yet, but as evidencing a desire to reonsldw the llrst refec tion ot the American nroposaln, the ntWB Is regi.-.lol of much slgnlfi ranee. ... Wilson's tNisllluii Vtu hunged. That the. United States Kovernnient, however, will not icld from Its posi tion that Huurta must be ellmimUtd as a facto- In the uttMtiion Is ilxely to lie made .Main t-j tho Mexico Olv administration before fl:imlo.i comes so that his m'silon would constitute a supplement-it y procedure ti brlni! about such nn understanding. In many quarters, however, the send ing or an envoy to talk with President Wilson Is regarded as an effort to de lay the plans of the American govern ment Something definite, however. Is being awaited by the United Status and it Is unlikely that this govern went will wait beyond Monday for tangible evidence on the Dart of the Huerta government to recede from Its position. The present intention Is to nave President Wilson to proclaim In the message to congress os Tuesday me policies the United Btates will pursue and which the nations of the world, It Is expected hero, will firmly support.

As a sub stltute he has taken to lemonade with a dash of orange Juice.

Ing from Incitement to crime to Im pairment of man's working efficiency, He often expressed the opinion members of his court that Immoderate drinking was one of the greatest fac tors In retarding the development of nations.

HABEAS ACTION Thaw's Latest Plan to Await Trial on Charge of Being Fugitive from Mat teawan. ULTIMATUM FROM DOMINION OFFICERS Thaw Can Either Accept De portation to Vermont or Stay in Jail Until October. y By Associated Press. Sherbrooke. Que., Aug. 23. Out of the tangle of legal red tape surround ing the c isi of Harry K. Thaw, de tained in the Sherbrooke jail as a fu gitive from Matteawan, there Issued this afternoon what was understood to be an ultimatum from the Immigra tion authorities. It- was that Thaw, If he so elected, would be deported to Newport, Vt., as an undesirable after his arraignment in court here on Wednesday and that ttien the Canadian authorities would , withdraw entirely from the affair. I' he chooses not to submit to deporta- -lion he will be held here under the1 present commitment of being a fugi tive and will not have a hearing, should he drop his habeas corpus proceedings, , until the October term ' of court This put the next step in the case squarely up to the prisoner himself, a situation said to be very pleasing to him. His lawyers conferred with him all forenoon, but with what result was not made known. Roger O'Mara of Pittsburgh, reported to be on his way here to take charge of the case for the Thaw family, had not arrived this afternoon and Thaw, was still the dominant head of the proceedings. . District Attorney Conger of Duch- . ess county, N. Y Deputy Attorney General Franklin Kennedy and others concerned in getting Stanford White s sluyer back to Matteawan are await ing developments, meantime exerting pressure . on the Vermont authorities in anticipation ol extradition proceed-1 ings in that state. Thaw will probably never have a hearing on the habeas corpus writ, according to a statement by one of his counsel today. The date for this hear ing has been set for next Wednesday, but the entire habeas corpus proceed ings will be dropped before then If the latest proposal 1b carried out This Is to have the writ withdrawn and permit Thaw to face trial on the defective charge on which he was committed to jail by Justice Dupuis at Coaticook. In this event Thaw would appear before a magistrate and se lect the method of his trial, whether it should be by jury or by the court. without a jury. Should he elect a trial by Jury his case would not ordi narily come up before autumn, and a month or more of delay would con sequently reeult. Whatever the ver dict, many months, perhaps years, of litigation could follow in appeals from the verdict Sherbrooke, Que., Aug. 23. Rumors. of a possible attempt to "rescue" Har ry Thaw from the prison here so alarmed the provincial authorities to day that Sir Lomer Gouln, premier cf the province, telegraphed to Sheriff Aylmer asking that official to give his opinion ss to whether the ordinary staff at the prison was protection enough against a "raid." The sheriff telegraphed, the premier that he had no fears on this score, al though he thought an armed guard would be useful to escort the prisoner to court' He pointed out that th. dia-, play of unusual precautions against rescue might only serve to suggest : such an attempt to the prisoner or his friends or even to Irresponsible per-, sons In search of adventure or eager ; to get some of the Thaw money, which has been prominent In Canadian ac ', counts of the case. 4 Don't Know Whose Boss. Harry K. Thaw's group of Canadian lawyers, nearly all of whom were re tained by telegraph, found themselves today confronting three questions: First, who waa in charge of his case? Second, from whom were they to receive their fees? Third, with whom were they to consult pending Thaws arraignment In the Superior court on Wednesday next on a writ of habeas corpus? When Mr. and Mra Qeorgt Lauder Carnegie arrived here Wednesday night after Thaw's arrest at Coaticook aa a fugitive from Matteawan It waa understood that they would take charge of hla case, and that from them counsel would receive Instruc tions aa to the desires ot the Thaw family. Thaw at that time had been warned by relatives In lengthy messages not to Insist on personal Instructions to counsel, and It waa understood that his lawyers were to Ignore him In heir efforts to thwart his deportation to the state pt New York. But when Mr. and Mra. Carnegie left Sherbrooke Thaw resumed his old tactics, and hla eight lawyers were In a quandary to- day aa to who was chief counsel. Ostensibly i. N. Greensfleld of Mon treal had precedence among th group of those fighting In Thaw's behalf, but hn had nothing In wr. Ling to Indicate thla; and with Thaw'a growing ten dency to take matters In his own hands, aa was the rase at all of his habeaa corpus proceedings In New York, the lawyers were puixled aa to the outcome.
