WILSON AWAITS LIND'S NEXT ACT Puzzled Over Failure to Return to Mexico City—No New Troop Movement, MAY SUMMON REINFORCEMENTS If Situation Grows Serious Officer in Command May Use Authority, ‘Washington, Aug. 30.—Administra tion officials were puzzled by news dispatches saying that John Lind had reconsidered his plans to go to Mexi: co City and would remain in Vera Cruz several days. While it has been left entirely to Mr. Lind’s discretion to determine his own movements the understanding has been from official messages received that he would taken an early train for Mexico City to resume negotiations with the Hu. erta government. There was no indication of addition- al troop movement. Brigadier General Tasker H. Bliss, commanding the Bouthern department, which includes most of the troops along the Mexican border, has full authority to move the different organizations under hig command without instructions from ‘Washington. He also is authorized tc oall upon other departments for addi- tional troops 1if, in his discretion, the situation warrants such action. News reached Washington that Min ister Gamboa is being made a hero by the Huerta sympathizers and newspa: 8. According to dispatches from iMexico City, El Diaro, the Huerta or gan there, said: “Gamboa Dominated Lind.” “John Lind thought to come, to see¢ and to conquer, but Frederico Gambos was able to counter and to dominat: him. In the first encounter the colos sus of the North was turned from its course disconcerted. In the second encounter it abandoned the fleld. “John Lind has come to Mexico tc aspure the election of Victoriano Hu erta. “All ambitions, all rancor and all intrigues have dissolved in fromt ol the diplomatic triumph which we hav: gained. There {8 not an honest Mexi can soul who will not vote for Victor iano Huerta, because the president o! the United States of America attempts foolishly to exclude him from the con test. “As for the revolutionists’ candi dates, they may be considered defeat ed in advance precisely for the reason that they appear as the candidates ol the American White House.” IN TOUCH WITH WASHINGTON Reason Lind May Carry on Negotia tions From Vera Cruz. Vera Cruz, Aug. 30.—John Lind special envoy, has decided to make his headquarters. here, because he i¢ in easier and more reliable communi oation with Washington than when af Mexico City. When General Huerta’s latest note expressing a desire for renewed nego tiatione and a possible acceptance ol ‘the American proposals was brought here by a messenger Lind undertook ‘to cenduct further negotiations fronw Vera Cruz, unless ordered by Wash ington to return to Mexico City, pre ferring direct cable and wireless com munication with the United States rather than land wires and Mexicar operators. Huerta notified Lind that his gov- ernment is willing to resume the con ference and that he is disposed to act at least in a large part, on President ‘Wilson’s proposals for the sake o' bringing about international peace and recognition from the United States. ‘William Bayard Hale, who salled for Washington via Havana and Key ‘West, carried the original notes of Lind. The nervous tension of the natives was shown when those on the wate! front were thrown into consternatior by the report that many war vessels looking like American ships had beer seen outsitie the harbor. A pilot re ported the ships, saying they had dis appeared again when they receiver wireless instructions from Admira ‘Fletcher on board the Louisiana. CRITICIZE STATE MANAGEMENT Governors Advocate Some Radical Changes, Colorado Springs, Colo., Aug. 30.— Radical changes in the management of state affairs, so far as legislatures are concerned, were advocated by Governors Emmett O’Neal of Alabama, George W. P. Hunt of Arizona and George H. Hedges of Kansas in pa pers read before the conference of governors. Governor O'Neal suggested fal reaching reforms in the makeup and methods of legislatures, including nere frequent. sessions, smaller mem- bership, better salaries for members. and a greater percentage of members at large. 2 Governor Hunt advocated a single house and said that the double house cannot be defended in-state govern- ment “except in the interest.of roy- alty.” - The paper by Governor Hodges was an_elaborate treatise on commission o TS SR GLE VISTS FARMERSASSAILS CAUCUS |BELTRAMI FARMERS MEET Reports Freese and Berg are Build- ing New Silos and Barns for Their Cattle, URGES CUTTING OF ALFALFA Bueford E. Gile high school agri- culturist has contributed another article to the readers of The Pioneer on progress being made by two of our energetic farmers, Edmund Berg and F. M. Freese. He also states that farmers should now cut their alfalfa for the last time this season so that it will not be so tender and juicy when the freezing weather begins. His article is as follows: “Last week I had the pleasure of looking over the farms of Edmund Berg and F. M. Freese. Both of these farmers live about three miles south of Bemidji and are doing all they can to dvelop their farms. Mr. Berg is building a cement silo 12 feet un- derground in the side of a bank and next year plans on building a new barn so that it will be on a level with the silo and partly surround it. Mr. Freese who is also building a silo has it fifteen feet underground and opening into the barn. He is also building his barn now and in such a manner that his cows will not suffer with cold in the winter time and re- quire a large amount of feed simply to keep them warm. “Mr. Freese has a small patch of alfalfa as good as I ever saw any- where. These gentlemen have solved the freezing problem for silage and those contemplating building a silo should visit them. No doubt they would loan out their silo forms at a very reasonable figure which would be around ten dollars. As these forms require about $30 worth of lumber and considerable work to make them this would be an excellent arrange- ment.” TENSTROM WRITES ON STEAMER Only Bemidji Man to Cross Waters On Boat Now Destroyed by Fire. John Tenstrom writes a letter and sends newspaper published daily” on Imperator to editor of the Pionéer. The Imperator was damaged by fire Thursday after. crossing the Atlantic and harbored at Hoboken. £ Mr. Tenstrom is connected with the Schneider Brothers Clothing store of this city and writes that the trip across was made in six days un- der the most ideal conditions. His letter is as follows: “Imperator, Aug. 15th. “Editor Pioneer, “Dear Sir:—Enclosed find copy of daily paper printed on the Impera- tor. The trip so far has been a con- tinuous grand excursion. The Atlan- tic ocean is as still as Lake Bemidjl, with moonlight every night to add to the splendor. There is little time left to become lonesome as there are five meals served daily. “Band concerts during the after- noon with games and dances on the promenade decks of the different cabins., They expected to make the trip to Hamburg in five days, but the last minute the firemen of the “aft” twelve boilers went on a strike and left the boat, but at that we were cer- tainly “going some.” We arrived today at Plymouth England to leave mail and passengers for London.

SPANIARD AND WIFE PERISH Meet Death When Apartments in New York City Burn, New York, Aug. 30.—Thousands of curios gathered in many lands and stacked high in the apartments of Hipolito Uriarte, for fifty years a Spanish consul, fed a fire kindled in lighting a cigar and ‘blocked the way of the aged diplomatist and wife to safety. . Uriarte was found dead, leaning across a window sill; his wife mis- took a window leading to an:air shaft for one opening on a fire escape and plunged four stories to her death. Uriarte was elghty-two years old. For fourteen years he was a Spanish consul general in New York. His last service was in Canada. During his travels for his government he had ac: cumulated souvenirs and mementos ot every country in which he had lived. They crowded every nook and cranny of his apartments and in the smoke and confusion resulting from the fire effectually cut him off from escape. The fire was kindled, it is believed, having a few acres of his land under | when Uriarte lit a cigar, which he in- tended to smoke before going to bed.
