Attorney For Cattle RaiSerS
Predicts Scarcity.
LAND AND FODDER DEARER.
United States Senate Committee
Told That Cost of Production
Has Increased and Price
Must Be Maintained.

Washington, March 3f.-Judge Sam
FL. Cowan of Fort Worth, Tex, the
attorney for the American National
Live Stock association and the Cattle
Raisers' association of Texas, told the
senate committee that is investigating
the high cost of living that the people
Of the United States need never expect
to get any more cheap beef He said:
THE advance in land values and the
increase in the cost of feed. in wages
and in every item of the cost of pro-
duction have been such that the price
of cattle must be maintained at its
present level or the growers will go
out of the business.
"As it is the herds on many great
ranches in the southwest are being
sold off and the land is being sold to
farmers in small tracts. One great
ranch that formerly grazed 100000
head now has less than 10000 head.
Another of $4,000 acres that grazed
10000 head has all been cut up and
sold to cotton growers. If cattle rails
ing were very profitable that kind of
thing wouldn't happen.
81 don't see what you can do to rem
edy existing conditions unless you can
repeal the law of supply and demand.
If you take the tariff off cattle the
country will be flooded with Mexican
cattle and the price will be cut down,
but our growers will go out of busi-
ness, the supply will be reduced. and
i'll no time the price will return to the
higher level"
Judge Cowan said that the percent
age of profit in cattle raising at the
present high prices is less than it was
six years ago, when the increased in
vestment required in the business is
considered.
Judge Cowan gave the committee
detailed figures showing the cost of
one steer out of a bunch sold in Fort
Worth from the time it was sold by
the raiser until 1t reached the con-
sumer's table. 1t cost the packer $S3,
was sold to the butcher for $S4. 20 and
cost the consumer $112.50.

Corpus Proceedings.

Littleton, who came from New York
was in conference this afternoon for
two hours with Charles w. Morse at
the federal prison arranging final plans
for resuming his fight for freedom.
Application will be made for a writ
of habeas corpus on the ground that
Horse's fifteen years sentence is lille
gal, as ten years is the maximum for
the crime of which he was convicted.
Morse was convicted on fifty-twO
counts, but he was sentenced on only
one, and 1t will be held that as the SEN
tence exceeded the maximum it is in
valid
Morse's attorneys will also allege
that Juror Dewey was crazy and that
the jury was constantly in charge of
employees of the district attorneys
office to the injury of Morse. Federal

the announcement of a general wage
increase on the Pennsylvania railroad
system comes an official statement
from the Philadelphia and Reading
railway of a similar increase of 6 per

pared statement on the wage advance
was issued. 1t shows that about 1885,.

RECIPROCITY WITH CANADA.
United States and Dominion to Read
just Trade Relations.

JdoN tEdoS noldtlONS.
Washington, March 31.-The United
States and Canada have agreed to
open negotiations for the drafting Of
u reciprocity treaty. Next to the
averting of the threatened tariff war
between the two countries this is the
most important result of the tariff
conferences between President Taft
and W. S. Fielding the Dominion's
minister of finance.
The probability of reciprocity nego
tiations was disclosed in the an.
nouncement made by the state depart
ment of the trade agreement that has
been reached with Canada Core
spondence that has passed between
Secretary Knox and Mr.. Fielding
shows that the secretary OF state al
ready has suggested by direction OF
the president that negotiations be be
gun with view to readjusting the
trade relations between the countries
along more liberal lines. The secre.
tary has formally expressed the hope
that the trade relations will be gov.
erned by "a spirit of cordial reciprocal.
ton and interdependence."
Minister Fielding in formal reply
to the secretary's letter has assented
to the proposition advanced by Mr.
Knox and is willing to enter upon the
negotiations.
The basis Of the new trade agree
ment between Canada and the United
States by which the threatened COM
mercial war was averted was made
public soon after President Taft had
signed the proclamation extending the
minimum rates of the American tariff
law to imports from Canada.
The Dominion has conceded reduced
rates on about forty staple commodi-
ties exported from the United States
to Canada. These commodities repre-
sent total annual business Of about
S5.OOO,OO0.
No American duties on imports
from Canada are lowered from the
minimum rates of the Payne law, but
certain articles manufactured in the
United States, such as soaps, per
fumes and other toilet articles, will
hereafter enter Canada at 171A per
cent ad valorem Heretofore the duty
has been 20 per cent.
Canada's single concession to the
United States was made with the right
to give the same rates to any country
she cares to favor.
Canada stands by her province EN-
bargoes, which keep up the prices of
wood pulp and print paper.

AGAINST LEE STATUE.
Forty Massachusetts, G A. r. Posts
Protest Against Acceptance.

Washington, March 81, - Petitions
from forty Massachusetts G.. A. r..
posts protesting against the accept
ance by congress of the statue Of Rob
ert e. Lee in Statuary hall were pre-
sented to the senate by Senator Lodge
One post referred to the Confederate
chieftain as "a traitor whose name
should not be mentioned save with
contempt"
Another characterized the presence
Of the Lee statue in Statuary hall as
"a studied and direct insult to every
living Union soldier and sailor and
doubly so to those who sacrificed their
lives for the preservation of the I'm
ion"
The objection on the part of one
Massachusetts post to the presence OF
the Confederate leader I'm Statuary
hall is due TO the fact that Lee is
portrayed in Confederate uniform.

he said. II propose to do all in my
power to eradicate it. There shall be
no effort upon my part, neither do
believe there will be upon the part
of other members of the legislature,
to shield or conceal those who have
been faithless to any trust placed in
their hands. In so far as it is neces-
Sary to delve into the past to purify
the present political atmosphere l have
no hesitancy in proceeding.
You need have no fear that men
with sinister motives will control nv
action or the action of any cOnsidera-
BILE number of the members OF the leg
islature."
