 SOUTH'S NEED

Atlanta, March 8.--Predicting remar<- able future for the south because of it's agricultural development. James Will son. Secretary of Agriculture, in his ad dress this afternoon declared that the most pressing problem the southern states have to consider at this time is their agriculture.,..~
 The south, with the wealth that must come to 1t, if it follow economic lines with it's usual characteristic energy" he said will soon be living in a period of prosperity undreamed of by the age pre- ceding you.
 'In that period I shall expect to see you credited with more cotton than you now produce. and with two or three billion bushels of corn instead of one billion. Your dairy products will mount into the millions and your poultry prod- ucts will supply a nation. You have such a variety of soil and climate. your rivers all flow to the sea. you are comparative ly free from extraordinary tempests, and all that is necessary is to wait. with confidence in yourselves and in your soil. and take advantage of opportunities that are offered you.

OUTLINE RATES FOR PANAMA RAILROAD Secretary Dickinson Forms
 Tentative Contract WILL DEAL FAIRLY
Panama Railroad and Connecting Line of Steamers to Receive 40 Per Cent of Rate From New York to Frisco

Washington March S.-After hearing all
 the interests involved. Secretary of War
 Dickinson today determined the tentative
 outline of a contract which the govern
 ment-owned Panama railroad will offer
 to it's co-carriers of freight between fa-
 cihc and Atlantic ports providing for a proportonate division of the rates. It was determined to substitute commod- ity rates for the present fiat rate Of ss per ton for all classes of freight shipped from San Francisco to New York via the Panama route. The Pacific co-carrier will
 receive 60 per cent of these rates for
 the haul from San Francisco to Pan
 anna, while the railroad and It's connec- ton line of steamers will receive 40 per cent for the trip across the isthmus and up to New York.
 Of the 40 per cent, IS per cent will go to the Panama railroad and P per cent to the Atlantic line. The Pacific Mall
 and the California-Atlantic Steamship companies at the present time constitute the Pacific co-carriers of the Panama railroad On the Atlantic side the steam CTS of tine Panama railroad handled the freight to New York, while the California Atlantic Steamship company has estab- lished line running to other Atlantic porls.
 Under the conclusion reached today the the private co-carriers will not be all lowed to deliver freight to New York in competition with the government line, but can deliver commodities to other ports. receiving a2 per cent of the through rates from San Francisco for this service. The California-Atiantic Steamship company desires to run it's vessels to Philadelphia and receive 22 per cent of the total rate. but tine Panama railroad officials claim that Philadelphia is co-terminal of New York. This point has not yet been set tied.
 MT. Dickinson at the hearing assured the steamship interests that the govern
 ment intended handling the question in an impartial manner He informed the officials of the Pacific Mall Steamship
 company they would be accorded the same right which had been given the | California Atlantic company to estab- | lisf line of vessels on the Atlantic coast to operate as co-carrlers with | the Panama railroad.

BALL|NGER y|yy,*.: ;
 HAVE w's>zf >'z,f.GRE.IS S0ceity .Slighted Him and
 Mrs. Ballinger
WOMEN ARE PARTISAN
With Great Pleasure Ballinger Fam fly Will Leave Washington. Were Often Snubbed in
 Social Affairs

Washington, March S.--(SpeciaL)- Secretary Ballinger of the. department of the interior whose official career end in a few days, will leave Washing ton with greater pleasure, probably, than his leaving will give his most ungenerous foe.
 a This is not hard to explain. The last year has not been a pleasant one for the high official. There have been many embarrassments and many dis agreeable incidents which, ordinarily, 2 cabinet officer is far above and be- yond.
 All this the Secretary will escape when he returns to Seattle. where he and Mrs. Ballinger have a host of per- sonal friends. and where they expect to be warmly welcomed. He will be relieved of the sights which have pur- sued him since the beginning of the famous controversy over the Cunning ham claims.
 The social life of MT. and Mrs. Bal west. The past season in Washing ton has not been as happy as that a member of the Presidents official fam fly naturally has the right to expect. The Ballingers were, of course. invited to all functions where cabinet officers are expected to be. Not to invite them would have been an insult to the Pres Iident himself, but there have been many little personal affairs which the Secretary and his wife did not grace.
 The women of Washington took quite as much interest in the Ballinger-Pin- chot controversy as anybody here. They crowded the hearing room each day the committee sat and practically every ona of them was a partisan. It was impos- sble for them not to take sides and when once committed. these women be- came more bitter in their feelings than vast majority of t'le men actually Involved. Tn fact, it-was apparent that the investigation mad practically split an important element of Washington society. The women of one faction would scarce ly speak to the women of the other. It is recalled that Mrs. Ballinger. wife of tlre Secretary. and Mrs. Pinchot. the mother of the former forester, each at tended the trial regularly. Other womeen watched them closely and found that these women ignored the presence each of the other.
 Mrs. Ballinger was made to feel a large measure of this unpleasantness. While she is a very gracious and charm ing woman, she often found herself omit ted from the invitation lists of other society women at whose houses ono would naturally expert to find her. She herself entertained handsomely. but they did not make it a great deal easier.
 Then, too, the Secretary himself un- doubtedly felt the shadow which his op- ponents put upon him. It has been many times remarked that he would be invited to official affairs and then overlooked when speakers were called for.

Motion Unfavorable to the Treaty Is Defeated by
 Vote of 112 to 70
BORDEN IS LEADER
 OF THE OPPOSITION
Finance Minister Fielding Says Taft Is Loyalty Keeping Compact With Canada Whose Duty It
 Is to Ratify Treaty

Ottawa, Ont, March S.--The strength of the governments position on reciproc- ity was shown in vote taken in the house tonight on a motion made today by R. L. Borden. leader of the opposi- ton, that as an American action on the agreement has been delayed the matter be not taken up by the Canadian par liament until the electors shall have an opportunity of passing on its merits.
 The motion to defer action was sup ported by 70 members and opposed by 112. the government majority being 42
 The intense interest in the situation was shown by an unusually large num- Der of members present to vote early in the evening.
 I've have made a pact of honor in the name of Canada with the United States to pass on this agreement as soon as we reasonably can.' was the answer which Finance Minister Fielding gave to R. L. Borden, leeder of the opposi- ton, who today moved "As that Congress failed to carry Into effect the reciprocity agreement and considerable time must elapse before Congress can deal with 1t at the special session. the Canadian par
 
 agreement until the electors had an op- portunity of passing on its merits The motion of Mir Borden is rega rde,] as the first step in an opposition plan to delay ratification of the agreement by parliament until Congress shall have finally pronounced upon it.
 Delay Would Do No Harm On the support of the motion Mir Borden said that nothing would be lost l by delay. The democrats who were coming into power at Washington were pledged to lower the American tariff and 1t was most inopportune for Can ada to confirm the agreement at pres ent. He read letter of Sir Var Horne condemning the agreement. IT concluding the opposition leader sai6 he stood for the British empire against the world and within the empire Inc stood for Canada.
 ''The President of the United States | is Loyalty keeping his campact witt Canada" replied Finance Minister | Fielding, and he fes even gone tt extra session of Congress to keep faitl with the government of Canada. Fol parliament to accept the motion made by MT. Borden would mean that we should violate our own honor Shame on the suggestion It is so childish to say that each country should wait upon action by the other. It is oul clear duty to go ahead and pronounce upon this agreement"
 MT. Fielding declared his belief that a majority of United States senators had been in favor of ratifying the agreement last session, but that its Ipassage had been blocked by the meth ods of few filibustering senators some of whom would never be seer again in the American Senate. Canada has been trapped before, said George E. Foster, leading mem Der of the opposition, into indorsins propositions which the American Sen ate has afterwards rejected and should not be caught again"
 The debate on the resolution to ratify the agreement was resumed after the evening vote by Lloyd Harris, liberal who spoke against reciprocity.
