PRECEDENT IS ASSERTED Vilson's Envoy Meets Cabinet Offi cer in Private Capacity and Is Invited to Make Tour of Conntry Under Guard. MEXICO CITY. March' 22. John Lind. President Wilson's envoy, may make a trip of observation over that portion of the Mexican republic con trolled by the federals as a result of his conference at Vera Cruz with the Mexican Foreign Minister, Jose Lopez y Rojas. The recommendation was made by the minister, -who said that Mr. Lind appeared to be favorably im pressed. - ' Senor Portillo y Rojas said that Mr. TJnd pulled on him. but with the knowledge that Jie had no official char acter as regarded the interview. The Foreign Minister's conference with Mr. Lind will not have the ef fect of bringing about the resigna tion of President Huerta, the possibil ity of which has been discussed. This subject was not considered, according to a statement made by the Minister tonight. , Private Character Maintained. "We talked at some length concern ing the relations of our two countries," the Minister said, "bat entirely in the rapacity of private personages. Mr. Lind understood that I brought no com munication from President Huerta. "I made no statement regarding the retirement of General Huerta from the presidency. 1 1J0 not know that such a project ever has been considered. "If Mr. Lind adopts the suggestion to travel about the country a special train will be put at his disposal and a guard furnished." Discussing the martyrdom of the Mexican people, the Foreign Minister suggested Jocnlarlyto Mr. Lind the ar rangement of a duel between President Wilson and President Huerta as a so lution. He said that history furnished precedents for this. "4 should like Mr. Lind to make such a journey," the Minister con tinued, "after which he could go around to the frontier and make a similar examination of conditions there. Mr. Lind did not promise to do so. but I was told that he was giving the matter serious consideration." Huerta Does Not Know. Asked whether they had discusssed the question of General Huerta's can didacy in the new elections, Senor Ro jas said that he had inquired of Presi dent Huerta before leaving the capital as to what representation ife should make with respect to this. President Huerta said: "Tell him that I don't know." The foreign Minister discussed freely with Mr. Lind President Wilson's at titude toward President Huerta, He told Mr. Lind he considered it unjust to martyrise the entire nation to man ifest disapprobation of one- man. Those having personal knowledge of the Vera Cruz conference appeared highly optimistic in the belief that it is the first step towards an agreement satisfactory to the Huerta government. Meanwhile Huerta's Finance Minister is working hard to devise a feasible plan to raise. . more money. Dictator Full of KaernT. Huerta seems to be full of energy and determined to carry out his plans of administration indefinitely. Almost every organization in the capital has been militarized, even the telegraph messenger boys being ordered to report for drill at fixed periods. The Cabinet Officers have the rank of Brigadier-Generals and the sub-secretaries have been appointed Colonels. Even the government employes in the government departments have been in structed to wear on their sleeves the red or white cross. The pupils of the public schools have been ordered to re port in uniform, as well as their in structors, who hold the rank of Cap tain.

Relatives Unacquainted With Mrs. E. S. Adams' Plana, But Rumor Saya She Is Hldinsj la New York. CHICAGO. March 19. Mrs. Amie de Houle Irwin Adams, who was granted a divorce a few days ago from Edward Shields Adams, Lake- Forest Society leader and club man, has dropped out of sight in Chicago. Immediately after obtaining the decree it was rumored that Mrs. Adams had departed for New York. Special efforts had been made to keep the proceedings of the trial and where abouts of the couple secret, but al though the trial and its testimony found its way in the public prints, all efforts to see either of the two were fruitless. Mrs. Adams' attorney, Charles H. Hamill, said he did not know where his client was, and further admitted that If he did he would not give it 'out. At the residence of her sister, Mrs. Arthur Atwell Small, 32 East Division street, where Mrs. Adams was supposed to have lived recently, neither Mrs. Small nor Mrs. Adams .were in. According to the maids Mrs. Small had gone down town on business and Mrs. Adams had not been seen there for a few days. Drv Small, Mrs. Adams' brother-in-law.' when reached at St. Joseph's Hos pital, helped deepen the mystery by admitting that Mrs., Adams had been staying with them at tlieir Division street home, but that he did not know where she was at present. At the Lake Forest home of the Adamses a man answered the phone, nd after carefully questioning the party calling, said that Mrs. Adams was not there and hadn't been there for the last three, months. At Mrs. Adams' Chicago residence, 810 Tower court, a maid said her mistress was not in and referred the interviewer to Mrs. Adams' attorney. Mrs. Adams in the petition charged her husband with being a habitual drunkard and he was pictured as one grown almost helpless through drink. She testified that he would go to sleep sitting at the table, his speech would become unintelligible and he would take seven or eight cocktails before dinner, and'added: "I have known him to take 12 or 14." The Adamses were married In April, 1895. Mr. Adams ia the sole owner of the Board of Trade firm of Edward S. Adams & Co., and is first cousin of Cyrus S. MeCormlck. Mrs. Adams is a noted horsewoman and an artist. ' ULSTER HOLDS WAR COUNCIL Six Battalions of North Belfast Vol- untcers Hold Brill.

A council of war was held today at Craigaven between Sir Edward Carson, the Ulster Unionist leader; General Sir George Richardson, commander-in-chief of the Ulster troops, and fort efficers comprising the regimental commanders of the forces, at which mobilisation de tails were perfected. The headquar ters at Craigaven are maintaining con stant communication with the mobiliza tion centers by motorcycle dispatch carriers. Sir Edward Carson made a statement after the conference regarding the mil itary situation. He said: "The government Is attempting to cow Ulster by intimidation and provo cation, but both will fail." A dispatch from Dublin announces the swearing in of special magistrates for Ulster. This and the forwarding of detachments of special constables from Dublin to Belfast are regarded here as an attempt to incite riots, as.
