Sardine Crop

PORTLAND, Me-, Dec. 17-That de-
rectable dainty, the American sardine,
which isn't really sardine at all,
may become decidedly scarce in the
near future, owing to the shortage Of
the crop along the Maine coast, where
nearly all the domestic sardines are
packed. The combine which is al
legged to be in practical control Of the
business, and which was recently the
subject of an official investigation be-
cause Of alleged trustlike proclivities,
produced this season % per cent less
than was anticipated and the indie
pendent packers also report a shortage.
This was said to be due to differ
ences with the fishermen during the
early part Of the season.
AS q result Of the falling on IN
prices offered by the trade, the pack
ers have been storing heavily ana
every available storehouse was nlled,
but even at that there will probably
be no more goods than the trade will
demand this winter and next spring
as the mid season buying was light
because Of the general condition OF
trade. I
The Maine Mercantile company ex-
pected to pack 1,S00,0 900 cases, but in
stead produced 1,4O4,000 cases. The
independent factories packed 10000
cases.. There are 100000 cases In
storage

"Biq Six" Conference Called
In Seattle During Holidays

To settle many questions Of contro-
versy, and to make more definite the
rules regarding the control of athletics
in the Pacific northwest colleges, Lo-
rem Grinsted, secretary of the confer
ence of the Big Six" has issued
call for the colleges to meet in Seattle
Tuesday, December 29.
No announcement has been made OF
rules that will come up at that time
for alteration or discussion, but there 1s
a pretty good guess coming that the
state "U' will try to get some changes
to fix things her way and to SECURE
interpretations that will somewhat
lessen the coat of black she painted
herself with, by playing ineligible men
all season. There are one or two other
colleges, it is Well understood, that
would like to do the same thing, but
what will be done is a matter Of con-
lecture
The six institutions in the confer
ence are Whitman, university of Wash
ington, w. S. c., university of Idaho,
o. A. G. and university of oregon. Who
will be sent from Whitman has not
been determined but a meeting will
soon be called for that purpose. Pres
tdent S. B. L. Penrose, representing
the faculty, and Robert Ringer, repre-
senting the students, were last years
Whitman delegates to the conference.
1t is not at all unlikely the same men
will represent the local college again
this year.
Owing to the fact that this year is
the first in which the rules have been
tried it was only 60 be expected that

lSANa FRANCISCO, Dec. ~17:-What

hercfal peace between GeuiR and
HarriIAan interests is broken was re-
vealed today in the report of .Gpuld's
Western Pacific railroad, negotiating
for tie leasing Of several piers for the
accomm odation Of steamships to ply
between this city and oriental ports.
Western Pacific officials say that with
out tranc- Pacific. service, the freight
department Of the road faces serious
problem.
The serious problem foreseen by the
Could officials in the recent agreement
with Hartman, is believed by those
familiar with railroad affairs to IN
dictate that the Western Pacific, IN
entering the agreement, secured the
use Of the Pacific mail steamships for
the transportation Of freight to and
from the Orient. In the rumored open
ing of the necessarily competing line.
railroad men profess to see an early

WASHINGTON. Dec. 17.-With its
session today, the committee on ways
and means of the house. which is In
charge Of tariff revision, is nearing
the end Of its hearings and next week
II will begin the preparation OF a tarlH
measure. The hearings, which nave
heen in progress since November lo,
nuill come to an end tomorrow OF
Saturday. and then the members or
the committee will begin the summing
IN of the facts and the figures which
have been hurled like an ava
lanche at their defenseless heads by
the hundreds Of witnesses VINO nave
appeared before them.
1t is the intention Of the commit
tee to go to work Immediately on
tariff bill as soon as the hearings close
and have it ready for presentation to
the house the opening day Of the spe-
c;al session of the SiXty-firS congress,
which will be early in March.
This is on the assumption that the
present committee will remain un-
changed in its membership in the next
congress. All the members of the
committee in the SiXtielth congress
have been returned by their consitu-
ences, except Mr.. Watson Of Indiana,
who made an unsuccessful run for
governor of his state. His place in the
committee is filled by Mr.. Crumpacker.
Many thousands of printed pages
will make mp the record of the testi-
mony of the hundreds of witnesses
who have come before the committee,
seeking medicine, for their business
ills in tariff revision, or advocating

Hearings Practically Complete

resentative of a special interest, and
has come to plead either for higher
duties or a continuance of the Dingley
rates.
Representatives of the steel and
iron interests were willing to make
some concessions, but most Of them
took issue with Mr.. Carnegie's asser-
ton that the steel business can now
stand on it's own legs without the aid
of a tariff The boot and shoe men
were willing to have their products
placed on the free list if hides and
leather should be made non duitable,
and the tanners expressed themselves
as being able to stand a material re-
duction in the duty on leather, II
hides should be placed on the free list.
With the exception of a few lumber
men who have Canadian interests, the
lunn bermen who came to Washington
were of one mind in declaring that
their industry would be ruined by a
lowering of the Dingley tariff on lum-
Der Some of the independent sugar
refiners told the committee that if the
DUTY should be removed from raw
sugar, it would be possible to get along
without duty on refined sugar.
All these cases were exceptions to
the general rule. Let us alone" or
Give us more" have been the rally
ing cries of the great majority of rep
resentatives of protected interests who
made the, Washington journey to talk
on tariff revision.
No phase of tariff policy seems to
be settled. That is that the Payne bill
will recognize the principle of a max
imum and minimum tariff. Little has

will be made to fix limits within which

be made by the executive, representa-

he didn't know whether the act would

basic raw materials like coal, iron
steel, petroleum, coal, lumber, hides,
