ministration.
Washington.—With the arrival In
Meilco City of John Llnd, personal
representative of President Wllaon.
administration officials declared that
no further step« would be taken In
carrying out the policy of the United
Btatea toward Meilco until Mr. Llnd
had made a careful study of the gen-
eral situation there.
While the president has mapped out
a distinct course of action about which
strict secrecy Is beinu maintained, It
la known that the Instructions to be
sent Mr. Llnd from time to time will
depend largely on developments In the
Mexican capital In the ne*t few
weeks.
Mrr. Llnd will make all his recom-
mendations to Charge O'Shaughnessy,
so that whatever representations are
transmitted by the latter to the Tlu-
erta government will differ In no way
from the note sthe American govern-
ment has hitherto advanced to the de
facto authorities In the Mexican capi-
tal. Mr. Llnd's connection with them,
It was stated, would not be apparent,

personal views of the .Mexican con-
troversy were so pronounced n to

through him.
Meet With Committee.
Two hours of conference between
President Wilson. Secretary Bryan
and the senate foreign relations com-
mittee brought about no change Id
the attitude of the administration.
President Wilson took the senators
Into his confidence far enough to out-
line the following:
That John I.lnd, his special envoy,
does not bear any solution of the pres-
ent situation, but goes to continue
this government's effort to induce
Provisional President Huerta to re-
deem his promises for free and con-
stitutional election.
That under no circumstances does
the Administration propose to recog-
nize the Huerta government.
That Mr. I.lnd has gone to Mexico
City to b* the "eyes and oars" of the
Washington administration on the
ground and to explW the attitude of
this government ^hen he has fully
familiarized himself with the situa-
tion.
That by withdrawing Ambassador
Wilson and sending Mr. I.lnd the presi-
dent planned to hjave a man on the
ground who was In sympathy with the
administration here and was in no
sense a factor in the situation in Mex-
ico City.
Jingo Talk Annoys.
The president did not ask that seiyi
tors refrain from debating the Mexi-
can policy, but he left a distinct im-
pression that prominence given In
Mexico to congressional discussion
and newspaper comments reported
from the United States, caused em-
barrassment for the administration in
attempting to carry out its difficult
policy of peaceful settlement.

that the action of Lieutenant Cover
nor McAlester in signing the contracts
is considered by the book companies
as legal and binding.
This action on the part of the book
m^n, it is also said, will protect the
pat.i|us of the schools from what
seemed to be a rather complicated
situation and one that threatened
financial loss. Without the 1912 con
tracts and adoptions it'is believed that
the people have no protection what
ever, the state being without a con-
tract with any publishing houses since
the termination of the 1908 contracts
which expired on the night of July
31, about the asme time the governor
crossed the state line on his recent
visit to Kansas City.
If the validity of the 1912 adoptions
is eventually upheld the expense in
curred by the purchase or any books
not included in the 1912 adoptions
will be a complete financial loss to
the purchaser, according to those fa-
miliar with the situation.
The only adoptions made under the
1908 contract that are in effect at
present and will continue in effect,
pending the litigation, are the primer,
firts, second and third reader, pub-
lished by W. H. Wheeler and company
of Chicagf These books, adopted in
1908 and **eadopted in 1912, are con
tinued in full force and effect through
the recent order of the supreme court.
Nearly all of the books adopted in
1912 are expected to be in the state
ready for sale when the school term
opens.

Washington. — That the tobacco
trust, instead of being dissolved by j
the decree of the supreme court of
the United States has increased its
monopolistic control of tobacco manu-
facturers, was asserted in the senate
by Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska, In
discussing the tobacco schedule.
Announcing that he intended later
to press his amendment to the tarifT
bill, which would place a graduated
income tax on tobacco production,
Senator Hitchcock, who bolted the
Democratic party caucus on the tariff,
said he intended also to discuss the
propriety of that caucus in restraining
its members from supporting his
amendment.
He declared that the four big con-
cerns manufactured last year 71 3-6

In the United States: that there of

Shape More Important, This Writer
Says, Than 8ize—Some Noted
Examples.
London.—A writer in an Indian pa-

remarkably during the last quarter of
a century, owing to the advancement
of education, which Is materially af-
fecting business men and women by
developing the mental powers. The
person who will hold the reins of
command in the future will be the
long headed individual, who is fast
surpassing his wide headed brother.
The shape of the head is of greater
Importance than Its size, and the best
literary type of head varies from 22 to
23inches, but up to 24% inches
may be found men of powerful In-
tellects. Heads that succeed ln busi-
ness and in manufacture and mech-
anism are usually large, wide about
the ears and forward, with a broad,
though not always a high forehead.
Heads that succeed in educational,
literary, scientific, analytical and ar-
tistic pursuits are generally long, pro-
portionately narrow and high, with a
good development forward of the
ears. Sir Thomas Llpton, H. Gordon
Selfridge and Sir Joseph Lyons are
among the men who possess heads
which may be accounted somewhat
ideal types of the class of business
men who will lead in the future.

Animal Scares Salisbury, Conn., and
Few Persons Go Out After Dark
In Town.
Wlnsted, Conn.—Cornelius Barry
saw a large black bear sleeping beside
a road near Salisbury. Con didn't
bother to awake bruin to ask if he
was the same black bear that haB
been scaring Wlnsted by his calls ln

from their homes after dark.
