DESCRIBES CONFERENCE.

No Particular Measure Dis-

ered Whole Field of .
f Conditions.
Quit port. Miss., . Jan. 3. President
Wilson today announced that his con
ference with John Lind had developed
no change In the policy of the Wash.
ington administration toward Mexico
and that no new plan or move in the
situation had been decided upon.
" The "president -referred to the con
ference as a "get together talk," for
mutual' Information, He explained
that, although Mr. .Lind ;, constantly
had been sending full, dispatches, a
conversation of a few, hours had been
deemed worth moret han weeks of
telegraphic communication, with, the
added value of affording an, exchange
of Viewpoint regarding the situation
President Wilson added that there
had been no special occasion, for Mr.
I,inj's visit no advices, excitement or
new questions. ' '
The president said that his conver
sation with Mr. Lind had covered the
whole field of conditions in ; Mexico
but that no particular measure or
plan had been dwelt upon.
' When asked if he was more hope
ful for a speedy settlement of the
trouble, Mr. Wilson - made It :. clear
that his personal view of the sltua
tlnn had not changed. - The president
-.nun' nftia Tni intr noenir Ruw,Hinrnfc
Is slowly being crusnea, . not . oniy -oy
the" constitutionalist iorces out
through financial isolation and that
it inevitably must Tall.' He smiled
when told of reports that Provisional
President Huerta or some high offic
ials of the Huerta government were
on board the Chester,-and laughingly
said: 1
"Well, I didn't .see them If they
were there." ' , . V
( . . Little Importance, , . .
'.., The president said that while Mr
Lind was not exactly enjoying , tils
long stay In Mexico, he was perfectly
willing to stay there and was deeply
interested in the situation. Mr.' Wil
son apparently -attached little lm
portance to the Lind episode, point
ing out that the proximity that his
personal envoy coincident with his
own vacation on the Mississippi coast
had been, as much as anything else,
a motive for the conference.
The president laid emphasis on the
fact that nothing specific, such as the
removal of the embargo on arms pr
similar moves, had. been discussed.
He said that the Chester, would leave
for Vera Cruz this afternoon and that
Mr. Lind would remain there indeli
nltely. v . - i ' -, .
. Pass Christian, Miss., Jan. 8. Pres
ldent Wilson's mysterious conference
with his personal envoy to Mexico,
John Lind, was completed late last
night and this morning. Mr. Lind will
return to Vera Cruz on the scout
cruiser Chester, but so far nothing has
been revealed as to the exact nature
l matters discussed during the Inter.
' view. ' ',''..-,,' 1 '
The president early today took Mr,
Und's two sons, Norman Lind and
lohn Lind, jr., eight miles In his auto
mobile to the pier, from which they
- Joarded the revenue cutter Winona
nd went to the Cheater to bid their
distinguished father farewell. With
. the exception- of the president they
s-ere the only .visitors who saw Mr.
Und during his . brief . stay - hers.
Whether or not any concrete develop
ment will result from the conference
aetween President1 Wilson and Mb.
Und today was as much a matter of
conjecture as ever. Mr;. Wilson, how
ever, expected later In the day to
male- a tlit.m.nt ..-'
- Unusual Incident.
The- Interview between the presl
drnt and Mr. Lind was comparatively
brief, although the Chester had come
860 miles in order that it might be
held. Jt was an unusual Incident
the arrival of the Chester carrying
on board a man who Is accorded all
inn nonoraoia diplomatic envoy
tnougn possessing no official status.
Adding interest to the situation was
, the fact that the president' went Jto
see, to meet Mr. Lind Instead, of having
nis envoy come ashore.
It was evident that the president
desired that Mr. Llnd'a visit merely
pariaKe of the nature of a few days'
cruise from Mexico, with ho material
'interruption of his task of close obser
ivatlon there. President Wilson does
not wish Mr. Lind to. return to the
United Btates until the' Mexican prob
lem Is settled, and he believes that in
the former governor of Minnesota he
has a representative In. the War-torn
f-epubllu who will fontlnue to keep
lilm Intimately and closely Informed
regarding every phaso of the sltua
lion. ' '

A touch of pathos was lent to th

Penal Offense.
New- York, Jan. 3. The arrest -In
Norway of Ferdinand Plnney Earle,
the. artist, and Mrs. Evans, reported in
news despatches from Paris today,
ends a two months search that ex
tended 'over hi oat of Europe, the
United States and Canada.
' Harold Ervln Earle, who disap
peared from a private school near
Paris on November 9, and was found
with his father in Norway, will be re
turned to his mother, Madame Marie
Emllle Flschbacker, who was Earle's
first wife. Earle and Mrs. Evans are
being: held on a charge of abduc
tion. .' . ,: ;-. ..
. The terms of Mms. : Fischbacker's
divorce from him, gave Earle, permis
sion to see the boy occasionally, which
he did. r He was ordered to pay td
the mother a sum sufficient for the
education of their child.
In September, Mme. Fisch backer
placed the boy in a school near Parts.
Earle was Informed of this plan and
visited Harold there' several times.
One day the boy disappeared. Search
of Earle's apartments In aris dis
closed that he had fled. Mrs. Evans,
who had gone to the school for the
purpose of learning French, also had
disappeared. . .,
The offense, of abduction In France
Is
a penal one. If Earle and. Mrs,
Evans can be extradited they prob
ably will be returned to France for
trial on an abduction charge.

months "In close custody" in the

duced to 30 'days. In ordering this
reduction in tho sentence, he stated
from the bench, according to Prosecu
tor Silas G. Bernard, that he had been
under the impression that a longer
sentence than SO days eould be im
posed in such cases; that he had
thought a decision of the Supreme
court of the state had made this pos
sible. It was pointed out In the edi

yesterday afternoon that 30 days is
the maximum sentence for contempt
of court, the law and Supreme court
decisions being cited to prove this con

. Across Border.
SAYS THEY -ARE ARMED
INVADERS OF COUNTitY
None Sent Back Who Seek

- Commands.
Washington, Jan. I!. -Further ex
planation of the action of the Texas
border patrol in disarming Mexican i
federal and rebel soldiers and forcing
them back across the Rio Grande was
received today from Brigadier General
Bliss. He reported that any other
course would result in the Big Bend
country being overrun with small
armed parties and emphasized that all
armed bands who cross the border,
except' those seeking asylum, are
"armed invaders of United States ter
ritory." General Bliss's report sent
from Fort Sam Houston, Tex., fol
lows: ,
"So far as known at these headquar
ters, what has been done at Presidio
is in accord with unbroken practice
from the beginning all along border.
Anyone seeking refugee or claiming
asylum is received and protected.
B'requently armed parties of either
federals or rebels cross the border
without evident intent to surrender
or seek asylum. If not found by our
patrols they cross back at .convenient
time and place. Their international
status is that of armed invaders of
United States territory. .- If caught by
our -patrols they, are , disarmed and
either held "or put back across the
river according to, cidcumstances of
the case. ; Under no circumstances are
they obliged to return- where they can
be taken by their enemies. - Federals
are sent over to the command from
which they came and the same is true
of the rebels. Depriving them of
their arms is an absolutely necessary
punishment.
Meet Requirements of Humanity.
"Any other rule will result In Big
Bend county being overrun with
swarms of small armed parties of
Mexican terrorizing the people. To
round them up would require all of
Major McNamee's force and probably
more, and he would be unable to per
form his Important duty of receiving
the main body which may eventually
be driven 'across at Presidio. In short
the requirements of humanity are
fully met. All civilian refugees, men,
women and children, and all wounded
persons are received and cared for.
All armed men who seek asylum are
received, disarmed and cared for. All !
armed men who do not evidently seek I
asylum and whose good faith Is In
doubt are also disarmed. , :
. "If humanity prevents our sending :
them over the river we take care o
them. If humanity does not forbid j
and we can send the' men back to join ,
their own army, the local olllcers acts j
according to his best discretion."

ANTICIPATING
PROPOSED LAWS
VIOLATION OF CASTE
RULES CAUSES
Captain .of Baron Dalmeny
Tells of Troubles With
Crew of Ship.
Washington, Jan. 3. The story of
the mutiny on board the British ves
sel, Baron Dalmeny, which steamed
out of Philadelphia Christmas day for
England, but which turned back
when the lights of Cape Henlopen
were still in sight, came out today at
tho treasury department, in a report
from Captain Johnston of the revenue
cutter Seneca, which went to the res
cue of the Dalmeny's officers and put
a quietus to tjje revolt.
Captain Johnston reported that the
trouble started among East Indians
in tne crew. Drobablv caused by some
violation of the rule of caste which
binds members of that race more
strongly than any law. The crew of
the Dalmeny was made up of Lascars,
the firemen being men from the Pun-
jah district of Inida, while the deck
crew were- smaller men irom tne
plains. They began fighting among
themselves about the time the steam
er passed out of the mouth of the
Delaware and it took-the combined
efforts of the master, Eben Gordon,
and the flourish of revolvers to bring
order. At the conclusion there were
plenty of wounds distributed among
the Lascars and everybody in the riot
was badly beaten. ,'
While the third officer conned the
ship and turned her back into the
Delaware, the captain and the other
two mates kept the sections of the
crew apart. The Seneca came to the
rescue off Lewes, Del.,- nnd after an
investigation ,by the British vice con
sul from Philadelphia, turned over to
him two of the crew, who probably
will be sent to England for trial. The
Dalmeny turned out again and started
on her vpyage to Avonmouth. .

corporations and Mr. Morgan's refer
ence to the change in public sentimeni
in regard to directorships has called
attention to the fact that five import

which investigated the reputed "mon

the abolition of voting trusts, reforms
In the stock exchange and reforms In

What Will Morgan Do.
Whether Mr. Morgan will decide to
withdraw from the directorate of the
United States Steel corporation, was
the subject of a great deal of specula
tion today. The general opinion was
that as the so-called trust was the
greatest of the Morgan creations and
