GERMAN-AMERICAN
TARIFF WAR ACUTE
National Board of Trade Considers
Appeal from Municipal Bodies for
Abandonment of Meat Exports
to the Fatherland

WASHINGTON. Jan. 25.-Alarr1ed
by the critical turn in the tariff con-
troversy between the United States and
Germany, appeals from chambers of
commerce and boards of trade of sevs
eral cities were made to the national
board of trade in session here, urging
that body to request the state depart
ment to recede from its position that
American beef and cattle must be ad-
mitted to Germany.
Resolutions presented to the national
body maintain there can be no advan-
tage in insisting on a German market
for American beef, because the home
consumption is increasing at such a
rate as soon to command all the supply.
1t is pointed out that the agrarian
party, in control of the reichstag, has
stood for the principle that farmers
of Germany must supply it's beef and
that the imperial government could not
admit the American product If it
would.
A commission to settle the dispute is
suggested.
Many delegates bringing from their
home cities demands for an investiga-
ton into the high cost of living have
made that subject foremost. The ma
tional body today decided to appoint a
special committee of five men to de-
terrnine the reasons for the present
prices.
A movement was launched to create
national headquarters and legislative
bureau in Washington.

SCHUBERTS NEGOTIATE TO
PURCHASE "PASSI0N PLAY"
Theatrical Promoter Desires to Buy
Religious Drama to Be Present.
ed in Los Angeles

According to a letter received sew
eral days ago by William Stoermer,
manager of the Passion play to be
presented at Temple auditorium the
week beginning March 10, j. j. Shu-
bert will come to Los Angeles to ne
gotiate for the presentation of the
great religious drama at the Hippo
drome, New York. There is a likeli-
hood proposition will be made by
the Shuberts regarding the purchase
of the play.
"The religious spirit would be sac
rificed once it is placed on profess
sional basis" said Mr.. Stoermer.
"There are lot of good people on the
stage, but not enough to give the
Passion play. The high mission of
this drama can only be accomplished
by preserving its sacred atmosphere,
and for this reason the cast must be
recruited from religious organizations.
At the rehearsals no levity is tolerated.
1t was the deep feeling of the solemn
ity of the work, absorbed in their
weeks of preparation that helped the
performers at the San Francisco pre-
sentation to give such an impressive
rendition"
G. Fl. Freddy left last night for San
Francisco to bring down the six car
loads of scenery to be used in the pro-
duction. With the stage properties
will come costumes for the 900 people
needed in the cast.
Mrs. Dick Ferris, better known by
her stage name of Florence Stone, may
play the part of Mary Magdalene.

DEMONSTRATES WAY
TO COMBAT TRUST
Director of Cooking at Y. w. C. A.
Declares Substantial Foods
Are Needed to Take
Meats Place

The much agitated beef trust prob
lem found its way into an interesting
lecture given by Mrs. C. E. Pearce on
the subject, "How to Get Along With
out Meat" yesterday morning at the
Young Women's Christian association
building.
Mrs. Pearce conducts the school of
cooking for the association and yester-
day gave the annual demonstration lee
ture at the end of the term. About $50
persons were present and listened to
the lecture calculated to eXemplify the
principles of meeting the emergency
of extremely high priced meat. She
said in part:
1--WE must furnish the table with
other than meat while we are fighting
the meat trust. Not to ignore the sub
stantials to take the place of meat, but
to furnish ourselves with other palata-
BILE foods to supply the requirements
of the laboring men and others. While
we may not materially reduce the cost
of living, it is the point to show that
we can make a shift to other articles
of food with the view of compelling
the reduction of the price of meat.
"Our beautiful climate and conditions
here give us great advantages over the
frozen east, and we should all take
the position and help each other in
forcing a reduction Of the price of
meat within the living limits of the ma
jority of mankind"
Three classes daily, with an average
of ninety pupils, are the result of the
past year in the school of cookery
carefully managed by Mrs. Pearce.
All departments of the educational
department are giving exhibitions this
week. The association building will
be omen to the public.

DEATH DUE TO DEFECTIVE
MACHINERY AND NEGLECT
coroner's Jury Finds John McComb
Killed by Too Suddenly Re-
versing of Elevator

That the death of John McComb was
due partly to his carelessness and
partly to defective machinery in an
elevator he was operating is the YER
dict of a coroners jury yesterday at
an inquest held at Sutck Brothers
undertaking parlors over the body OF
John McComb, employed by the
Hughes manufacturing and Lumber
company, who received a basal frac-

McComb was one of five men who
were descending from the second floor,
when. as witnesses testified, he at
tempted suddenly to reverse its de-
scent, resulting in the breaking of the
coupling and steering Of the main
pulley. An investigation probably will
follow.
