RS Washington, Jan. 4—The ripple of interest caused by the unexpected visit to Pass Christian of John Lind and his three hour conference at night with resident Wilson, has died away and the officials here have settled down to another period of patient waiting upon internal developments in Mex- Any important change in the re- ons between the United States and believe, must follow some by the Mexican factions. The Sequel to Huerta’s Downfail. has been hinted that during his ths' stay in Mexico, Mr. Lind rived at certain conclusions that are not entirely reassuring as to the ability of the constitutionallst leaders to erect a stable and satisfactory gov- ernment in the event General Huerta finally releases his hold upon the reins power. It is believed here that the conference on board the cruiser Ches ter related in part of the conditions that may arise in Mexico following the end of the “crumbling” process and the climination of Huerta. Will Repudiate Huerta's Loan. It is known that state department officials have been siving thought to the treatment likely to be accorded the foreign creditors and other claim- ants against Mexico by the victorious itutionalists, particularly in view of the preclamation by Governor Car- yanza early in the rebellion of his intention to repudiate all loans made to the Huerta government. Some of the money loaned to the Huerta gov- ernment came frmom the United Ftates, but the larger portion was eon- tribated by European financiers.

Losses at Ojinaga and Neuvo Laredo. The principal function of the Amer- fcan military force on the Mexicon bor- der at present is almost purely hu- manitarian; the soldiers are succor- ing the Mexican sick and wounded, though, of cource, strictly executing the neutrality laws. Reports from the battleflelds of Ojinaga and Neuvo La- redo tend to greatly minimize the first reports of loss of life, though they indicate that the fighting has been se- vere, UNEASY AT VERA CRUZ. Rebels Evidently Planning to Cut Cap- ital Off from Port. Vera Cruz, Jan. 4—Uneasiness is growing here on account of the in- crease in the number of rebel bands operating in_the state of Vera Cruz ng both the Mexican and the in- ter-oceanic raflroads connecting the port of Vera Cruz and the capital Several successful raids have been carried out, ome twelve miles from |Vera Crus and another in the neigh- borhood of Paso del Macho, to the southwest, less than an hour's ride from Vera Crus on the line of the Mexican rallroad. Two of the mem- bers of the latier band have been brought here. They had in their pos- | Sasetion. soveral dyhamito bomba ‘and |crowbars.

FOREIGENRS DISAPPOINTED. Expected Results to Follow Lind’s Conference With Wilson. Mexico City, Jan. 4—The announce- ment_that President Wilson's policy would remain unchanged, after John Lind’s trip to Pass Christian, is a source of disappointment to most for- eigners and many .Mexicans, who be- lieved that the interview between the president and his personal representa- tive might result in some definito step to put an early end to the distressing conditions which, so far as business is congerned, are fast growing acute. ‘o official Mexico, while outwardly Mr. Lind’s visit to the president was of little significance, the apparent deter- mination of the United States still to keep its hands off is known to be slightly gratifying. As one official tersely summarized the relations with the United States: “The best Mexico can expect of ‘Washington is to be let alons to work out its own problems.” In spite of the critical financial out- | 100k, the administration appears to be | highly optimistic.

McCann, the young settle- ment worker who disappeared from her Brooklyn home just a month ago, was today given up by the sea. It was found by a watchman shortly after daybreak this morning at Coney Island, having been washed ashore by the heavy surf that pounded the beach during last night's storm. Long immersion had made the fea- tures unrecognizable, but identifica- tion of the young woman by her fam- ily was made possible by a signet ring with the initials “J. E. M.” and by the clothing which Miss McCann wore the day she disappeared. Miss McCann was last seen by her family when she left her home Decem- ber 4, supposedly to attend to settle- ment work duties. A few days later her father, a well-to-do_business man, notified the police of her disappear- ance and offered a reward of $1,000 for information as to her whereabouts. He also had her photograph thrown on the screens of moving picture the- atres throughout the east, in the hope that this would lead to the finding of the young woman. Numerous reports of Miss MoCann having been seen came from all parts of the country, but investigation in each case proved them to be erroneous, The police today gave credence to the story of a woman who asserted that she saw Miss McCann, the day after her disappearance, near a bath- ing pavilion at Coney Island where the body was found today The body showed no signs of violence, accord- ing to physicians who examined it and the police have no clue as to the man- ner in which she was drowned, DRAMA-SERMON IN A CAMBRIDGE CHURCH Pastor Assumes Four Roles with Change of Costume.

Houghton, Mich., Jan. 4—Negotia- tions for the settiement of the copper miners’ strike having failed, both sides to the controversy tonight began to lay plans for meeting a prolongation of the struggle. Governor Ferris tonight decided to make a personal inspection of the con- ditions prevailing in the copper region, while John B. Densmore, solicitor for the department of labor, started for Washington, regretting his failure to bring about a settlement. Governor's Visit Arouses Inters Great Interest was aroused in the upper peninsule tonight by the an- nouncement that the governor was coming to take a hand in the situation at close quarters. He has resented suggestions of federal action In “af- fairs that concern the state only cording to his statements. It is be- lleved that he will gather data in the strike fleld on which he may base any future action he may take to help end the contest between the mine owners and their formaer employes. Meetings were held Ly the strikers at Calumet and Hancock today, but no definite action was taken. Copper mine owners of northern Michigan made a mistake in refusing peace plans proffered by the Western Federation of Miners, was the judg- ment pronounced by John B. Densmore, solicitor for the department of labor, a_few hours before his departure for Washinston tonight. For the Arst time since his arrival in the district, Mr. Densmore broke silence as to the conditions he found here. “A generation ago the anthracite mine operators of Pennsylvania adopt- ed precisely the attitude taken by the copper mine managers,” he said. “Sim- ilar stands have marked the action of employing interests in the initial strikes of practically every big indus- Miners Invariably Come Back. “The idea seemed to be that by win- ning the first strike the employer crushed the union.

Bitter Fight in Prospect. “It seems a pity, therefore, that the copper country must gooner or later face another struggle even if this one results In a seemingly complete victory for the mine owners.” they That the outcome of the present strike will not be settled without a bitter fight was indicated by today’s happenings. Company managers rest- ed on their plans for filling up work- ing forces with non-union men from outside places. Unifon circles were more active and meetings were held in | Hancock in the morning and in Calu- met in the afternoon. GOVERNOR TO VISIT THE COPPER COUIRY. Will Try to Devise Some Means of Settling the Strike. Mich,, Jan. 4—Governor Woodbridge Ferris has decided to visit the upper Michigan copper coun- try to study conditions there and to see If he, as govermor, cannot find some means whereby the miners’ strike can be sottled. Fe will leave early tomorrow morning, accompanied only by his private secretary. He has notified James V. Cunningham, state commissioner of labor, to start at onca for Calumet and it ‘is expected the commissioner, accompanied by torney, will join the governor naw en route to the strike dist The governor reached this decision late ®oday as a result of the failure of John B. Densmore, solicltor of the fed- eral department of labor, 1o bring about a solution of the trouble. MOYER PLEASED. Miners Willing to Abide by. Governor's Verdict, He Says. Jan. 4.—If to make a public declaration of the conditions he finds in the copper country, the Western Federation of Miners will agree to abide by his state- ment, according to Charles H. Mover, Chicage, president of the federation. Mr. Moyer expressed his gratification tonight when told that the Michigan executive planned to leave for the peninsula to- morrow. “All we ask 1= that Governor Ferria tell the world what he finds in the mining district,” sald Mr. Moyer. ‘Tt he goes there and finds the strike un- Justifted, we will retire.

Mr. Elliott is ex- Ppected to bnfi??he answer. Although Mr. Eiliott has not been in Washington for more than a month, it has been apparent to observers ip the department of justice that the New Haven system is showing a spirit that gives hope of a termination of the dif- fleulties without a law sult Within the last few weeks, since the announce- ment of the agreement between the at- general and the “telephone here have been several state- concerning the New Haven t ments which have excited great interest here. Preparing to Sell B. & M. The iirst statement declered that the New Haven was willing to put the Boston and Maine in the hands of trus- tees, with tho idea that eventually the stock of that road might be sold to some one other than the New Havep. The attorney general was to pass upon the trustees and other matters, inolud- ing the question of stock disposition. No demial of this report has reached the department. The other statement was officlal, and declared that the New Haven had cancelled its agreement with the New York Central for the Joint sharing of profits or losses of the operation of the Boston and Albany raflroad. Word also has come unoffi- cially to Wasbington that the New Ha- ven might be willing to give up its so- called outside steamship lines operat- ing between Boston and New York, and Boston end more southern ports. ‘These stcps, if taken, would meet the view of the attorney general, but there is said to be considerable doubt that they alone would be regarded as sufficfent ground to forsake a prosecu- tion of that road in the courts. Ore Ssction Rlieved of Monopoly. Government investigators have re- ported that the New Haven is prac- tically in control of every means of in- terstate or water communication be- tween the west and south of New Eng. land. Breaking its control over the Béston and Maine system would put the old Fichburg ratiroad, now owned by the Boston and Maine, into the field again so far as traffic from Boston and norithern Massachusetts, southern New Hampshire and Vermont s concerned. The Fitchburg line runs from Boston to Troy, N. Y. The annullment of the Boston and Albany agreement would be another step to free the state terri- tory from the alleged monopoly, and the release of the outside steamship lines, officials say, would be calculated to restore some degree of competition between New York and Boston, and Boston and Philadeiphia and southern ports. No Competition Along the Sound. Officials point out, however, that an agreement to give up the Boston and Maine, the Boston and Albany and the outside steamship lines would still leave the Long Island Sound citles and the cities reached by the Rhode Island trolley lines, without the meas- ure of competition they deem is due them. Therefore, any plan which did | not include the giving up of the Sound steamer lines and the trolleys probably would be refused by the department of justice, much as the attorney seneral Would like to see the problem of New England transportation solved without the delays of litigation.
