EXPEL LIND
FROM MEXICO
Announcement That Lind Will Consult Only
With Prominent Mexicans and Will Ignore the
Provisional President Make It Improbable He
Will Be Treated Other Than ()rdinary Foreigner.
CITY' OF MEXICO, Aug. 7.—John Urni, special representative of Presi-
dent Wilson of the United States, now on his way to Mexico, will be per-
sona non grata to thus government unless he brings credentials in due form
"together with recognition of the government of Mexico," according to an
official statement issued late last night.
Manuel Garza Aldape, Minister of Public Instruction, who is acting as
Minister of Foreign Affairs, issued the statement and had it transmitted to
the I'nited States embassy. It was also dispatched by the Mexican govern-
ment to the United States and to Europe. The statement follows:
"By order of the President of the republic, 1 declare, as Minister of
Foreign Affairs ad interim, that if Mr. Lind does not bring credentials in
due form, together with recognition of the government of Mexico, his pres-
ence in this country will not be desirable."
CITY OF MEXICO, Aug. 6.—Increased antagonism has been aroused
among Mexicans toward President Wilson's plan for the pacification of the
republic by the latest news from Washington that the object of John Lind's
visit here as the personal representative of President Wilson is to consult
with prominent Mexicans and advise them that the only basis on which Mex-
ico will be recognizcd by the United States is the elimination of President
Huerta.
Earlier reports that Mr. Lind purposed to deal with Huerta, perhaps
hy making the direct suggestion that he resign, were received with indigna-
tion by Mexican officials, and the new angle of his visit makes It not Im-
probable that he will be treated with even less consideration than otherwise
would have been accorded him.
It was pointed out by a prominent Mexican today that in the former
case the government not consider itself obliged to act until the suggestion
wr9 actually put forward by Mr. Lind, but that in the second case the gov-
ernment would be justified In characterizing him as one who was Inciting
Mexicans along lines of sedition and in applying the pernicious foreign ex-
pulsion clause of the constitution.
This Mexican also indicated that since
Mr. Lind wn* coming to Mexico in an
unofficial capacity and with no creden-
tial*, he could not ex poet more confedera-
tion or immunity than an ordinary for-
eigner would receive.
Mexican a familiar witft International law
are reluctant to believe that Mr. Lind's
instructions are for him to deal with
others tlnin I lie authorised officials of the
de tVto government.
Tlnse officials are still firm In their
assertion that no suggestions whatever
Involving mediation or the resignation of
Huerta would be acceptable ana say that
the best that Mr. Lind can hope for in
♦ his respect is to be ignored. However
the antl lluerta (deuient which is not
prominently in evidence In the capital, Is
skeptical regarding the firm stand taken
by the administration.
Alleging that the stale of the country
is attch that it will be Impossible to hold
a presidential election October L'7, the date
previously set, the Catholic convention
agreed late tonight not to nominate a
laudldate for the presidency. It reserved
the right to reassemble for this purpose
In the event peace is restored to such an
extent that the holding of elections will
heroine possible.
The debate over the resolution not to
nominate a candidate developed an antl-
Anierlcan speech by a delegate from the
Federal districts, who charged the condi-
tion of the country was due to the non-
recognition of the government by the
United .States.
The speaker advocated that the conven-
tion take no a«»* u which would further
divide the Meilean people, who, he said,
should present a united front in cane of
war with the United States. The speech
met with the approval of a large number
of delegates, but It was opposed by the
leader of the Federal district organiza-
tion who Insisted the attitude of the ad-
ministration nt Washington did not rep-
resent the views of a majority of the
American people.
The disposition of the Catholics not to
enter the political fight would appear to
remove the laat hope* of elections being
held, since « similar action has been taken
by the Liberal purty and there is a grow-
Contlnued on Fhm Two.
♦Seventeen Mexicans Reported Put to
Death for Assault on the
. Gourd*,
CITY OF MEXICO, Aug. a—Seventeen
Mexicans have paid with their lives for
maltreating the daughters of Matthew
Ooiird, an American farmer near Tampieo,
last Monday. American farmers partici-
pated In (he exaction of the penalty, ac-
cording to information regarded as re-
liable received ln.ro today.
The Americans. Joined by Mexican land
owners in th" district of Atascador, near
Tampieo, organized a posse and rode into
the hills in search of the baud of outlaws
who tied Ooitrd and robbed him and after
ward offered Indignities to two daugh-
ters in sight of their helpless father. The
band was located and defeated in a fight
ami several of its members were cap
tured.
The seventeen men killed bv the posse
included those slain In the fighting and
those put to death by vigilantes after
ward.
Some weeks ago a number of Mexican
land owners combined with Americans In
the formation of a vigilance committee, but
this was the first time the committee had
taken the offensive against a criminal
band.
It is reported that twenty four women
of the Afnscador colony have gone Into
Tampieo as a precautionary uior<,\ The
government here does not yet ndmit the
truth «f the assault, upon Mr. Gourd and

LIND'S MISSION ONE OP PEACE.
CITY OF MEXICO, Aug. ft—S wtary cf State Bryan sent the fol-
lowing telegram to the American legation tonight:
"'You may say to the Minister of Foreign Affairs that Governor Lind
comes to Mexico on a mission of peace and that the President feels sure
his pncaonce there will contribute toward a settlement of the difficulties.
The Mexican government should await the President's communication
and not give weight to misrepresentations published in sensational news-

BUCHAREST, Aug. 6.—Peace was con-
cluded tonight between the llaJkan states*
and the preliminary treaty will be *lgr.-
cd tomorrow by Servla, Greece, Monte-
negro, Koumania and Bulgaria. Thy
ngreement waa arrived at only after an-
other exhibition of the utter helplessness
of Bulgaria to face her ring of enemies.
Wednesday me discussions in tiie peace
conference threatened to become in-
teiminable, but M. Majoresco, the Rou-
manian Premier, and president of the
conference, clinched matters 6y threut-
• King that ui less Bulgaria accepted the
modified frontier proposed by the allies,
Koumania's army would occupy Solia
n« xt Saturday. This threat had the de-
titld effect.
The new frontier fix agntfd to starts
at a point or the old frontier west of
the Struma River, follows the wAternhcd
to west of the town of Strunniitza. thqnre
runs almost through the Struma Valley
to the liele:ih Mountains and thence caat-
uly in almost a nt might line to the
Meita laver, thus leaving the town of
Struntnitna. the port of l^a^os and Kan-
thi to Uulgiir'a and the port of Kavala
to Greece.
Tiie new frontier is a deep dtsappoint-
nient to the Bulgars, who still nuise
hope# far lis eventual revision by the
powers.
It ii- believed that an agreement foi
demobilisation of the various armies v.iil
be signed tomorrow The news that
peace ha a been arranged caused great
hjolcinp lie re.
The war between the former Balkan
allies, who had fought shoulder to shoul-
der against Turkey, began on July I,
with war decls rations l\v Servia and
Greece. Koumania declared war on July
10 and moved her troops over the Bul-
garian frontier.
The trouble arose over the* dividing of
territory captured from Turkey, severe
lift ting followed and many thousand
men were killed or wounded. Numerous
ninnacres arm acts of pillage were re-
porteo to have been committed by the
various armies.
The Montenegrin troops nevor came in-
to action during the hostilities, althougn

Peace Conference Jtwt Closed Unsat-
isfactory to All Concerned Ex-
cept Koumania.
LONDON, Aug. 0. The second Ilalknn
peace conference having concluded peace
on a basis of compromise whlefa in unsut-
Ifcfaetory to all the Stntes concerned ex-
cept possibly RouuianU, the question Is
being asked how soon a third Balkan
war will break out.
Bulgaria has obtained under the ngrce-
ment reached in Bucharest today a eon
Khierable portion of Northern Macedonia,
much more than the ulUes were at first
Inclined to give her mul also about sixty
ml lex of the Aegean seaboard, which will
enable her to build her projected railway
from PhillpbopoBs to the Aegean.
Bulgaria, however, deeply resents being
deprived of Kavala, a port on Kavala Buy,
which goes to Greece. Also she Is eon-
fronted with the task of expelling the
Turks from Adrlanople, It being clear that
ike powers will d«> nothing In this direc-
tion.
There are at least three here who are
worth more than a half a million each
and there are at least 200 more who
are worth more than $25,000 each.
It doesn't take a slew of bisek waxy or
Red River bettoin land to. pile up to repre
sent u sight of money. Any number of the
delegates have from 600 to 5,000 acres of
land, worth anywhere from $75 to $200 au
were. Owning this umount of wealth calls
for the exercise of correct bu«lue*s Juilg
ment to conserve the investment. And
right her Is where the Farmers' In Ion is
playing Its strong card. It bas already cut
down the average rate of Interest paid on
money with cotton up as collateral, from S
to 6 per cent It has gone beyond the con-
fines of the State and sat amid those who
direct big affairs, and has Induced one ex-
press company to undertake to give co-
operation of the kind that will co-operate
to secure better orices and a better market
for truck stuff. From first co operating on
warehouses, the Farmers' I'nlon has start-
ed a eo operation on cotton gins, and by
this time next year the cotton seed crush
ers of Texas will find that a new Rich
mond has entered the field to give fight for
supremacy In a new direction.
PROPOSED SEED CRUHHKR.
The first order for a eottou seed mill
has been given, and this will be lu opera
tion to handle this year's cotton seed.
Three of the members of tiie union who are
heavy stockholders In h gin in Northern
Texas, have agreed to put up $o,000 each to
Install as an adjunct U> this gin a small
eottou *eed crushing plant. U this small
experiment proves a success, ss those who
are putting up the money believe that it
will, then next year the nialns and valleys
of Texas where the members of the Fann-
ers' unlen do business will be dotted with
small cotton seed crushing plants.
Those who have started this new move
ment have'done so with the Wica that it
will eliminate h cert sin amount of waste
in the handling of cotton seed, which wasW-
is of course charged up to the farmer in
the final settlement It is not the intention
of the Farmers' I nion folk to build great
big crushing mills, but to erect mills only
large enough to handle the cotton seed of
the immediate section lu which the mill Is
located.
The officials of the union have demon
strated that cheap money Is not hard to
find if the right sort of security Is put up
- and this, of course, leaves more money
for the country banks to lend out to their
customers. Next the cotton factors find the
union has made headway iu cutting the
profits of factoring cotton to a marked de-
gree The commission merchants are head
on to a proposition that will get more
work for them when the agreement with
the express company gets Into full swing,
and the next elimination promises to be
the cotton seed mills.
NOSES NOT NOISES COUNT.
In all there are less than litf real ac-
tual blown lu the bottle delegates with
votes of the kind that count attending
the State convention of the Farmers Un-
ion. There are perhaps more tbuu a thou-
sand visitor* and advisory delegates and
such like, but these have no other privi-
lege but to griu and bear while the real
big wigs are answering aye or nay ou
the election of officers.
This statement Is needed to bring home
the faft that it is not the noise hut the
noses that will count when the final test
comes between W. I). Lewis of Topsey and
.1. K. Pearson of Dodd City as to which
of them will fall heir to the shoes of
"t'nele" Pete Radford as president of the
State I'nlon.
Pearson and Lewis are perfectly oyster
like when pressed for opinions as to what
the outcome will be. They are dignified
with all nine letters of that word spelled
In capital letters. Those who are carry-
ing Lewis banners or who are ringing
Pearson bells are uot, however, notice-
ably suffused with any such parlor polite-
ness notions.
All sorts of little "let me see you Just
a minute" conferences were held yesterday
by the friends of the two candidates. To
those who are living in darkness It was
impossible to state whether these were
Lewis men or were Pearson meu. That
they were for one or the other whs. how
ever, perfectly patent. The whole air was
charged, recharged and subcharged with
the thought. Only one delegate was found
who vouchsafed the Idea the contest would
not be hot and waxltig warmly to the end
and this Is one of the few delegates who
has a room at one of the high-priced
hotels here.
There can be no sort of a doubt about
the Northeast Texas bunch swearing by
Pearson with all the force of a pirate's
oath. They are for him and they can't
suppress this ambition. The odds favor
the election of I<ewis. but Pearson will
come out of the fray with full conscious
ness that never had a man aspiring to
high station more loyal, more earnest or
more energetic supporters than he has.
Mr. Lewis doesn't seem to bo making
much of a campaign. He will not talk

The legislative committee of the Farm-

guage. A few w2;ereasea and the lilclr 4
w'tl probhbly be Injected into them, bu®, J
lr the main and on a quick lunch order
the things that the legislative committee a
V.M urge the union to stand for are herafl
briefly told: WL",
The legislative committee Is compose®j
of K A. Calvin, former president of thtf
union, now a member of the Legislature
from Harris County, chairman; M. CL
Fields, now a member of the liegialatureY
from Falls County, and prospective post- v
master of Lott; F. L Townaend. legisla-
tive agent of the Farmers' Union, who
lives in Scurry County, and A. C. Davis
of Titus, who has never been connectcd
ir. any capacity he is willing to speak of
with the Legislature.
Of the things the committee will sub-
mit that have the most pressure in them,
lite demand for a constitutional conven-
tion gels up tiie moat steam. This la the
pet hobby and the favorite riding tfc'.ng
ol State Senator J. C. McNealus of Dal-
las. who always carries a well-worn
printers' rule in his pocket to show that
knows at least one kind of cases. The
demand for a graduated land tax is not
a*'w and the othor things are practically
but reiteration of oft proclaimed prtnei*
pl« - of tiie Farmers' Union.
Another resolution in connection with
L iese that now promises to be offered
fiom the floor, and one that will not bo
opposed by the legislative committee with
any particular decree of vigor, Is one in-
viting the Legislature to practice some
degree of co-operation In endeavoring to
rta< h the end that all good and tamed
legislatures are supposed to be striving
to reuch.
\\ in n the delegate who stated that hs
would offer this resolution was pressed
for a why
resolution he
wherefore for such a
declined with some effort
to commit himself, but he did state that
he was a State-wide, Natlon-wida and
worid-wlde prohibitionist and also a Coljj
quilt man until the end of time. SiM*lt
this resolution be offered the chancea ara
there will be some display of fireworks
of the mild kind—probably more mild
than kind, but there can be but little »
doubt that It would get a good big vote |
before the delegates now here.
