Prices Fixed on Exchange

The price Of butter fixed oh the Elgin exchange, the government maintains, is not the result of free and open competi- ton, regulated by actual bonafde sales under the law of demand and supply. The price fixing committee of the board is dominated and controlled, it is alleged, by large butter manufactories known as central depots and by cold storage estab- lishments. This committee, the petition says, has acted arbitrarily and without any regard to actual values and fixed prices wholly in the interest of the con spirators.
 From May to August. when the bulk of the supplies of the country Is made, the petition says, large centralizing concerns are purchasers rather than sellers of but ter, buying upon the surplus product and storing 1t for winter when the price is enhanced. It is declared conseauently the prices of butter fixed by the board in the summer months have almost invari- ably been at the price which the product has actually sold upon the market while during the winter months the prices fixed have been somewhat above market and private sales.
 It is charged the association of cream cry manufacturers, composed of nearly 46 individuals and firms, is used by the conspirators to maintain these seasonable differences in prices without regard to conditions of competition or trade. All members of the assoiciation are required 1t is alleged. to use the price thus es- abolished as the basis of their contracts for the purchase or sale of butter and oleOma rgarinn

THE SENATE HAS NEW PROBLEM IN REGARD
 ID CANAL DISPUTE
Would Majority or Two Thirds Be Necessary to Order Arbitration of
 Matter?

Washington, December l4-Whether majority. or two-thirds. of the United States Senate would be necessary to or- der the Panama canal dispute with Great Britain submitted to The Hague court of arbitra ton for adjustment has become matter of study among members of the Senate since the receipt of the British protest against the toll provision in the recent canal act, exempting American coastwise shipping. It is the opinion of many senators Nao were originally op- posed to grlnting American coastwise shipping free passage. that if the subject finally reached the Senate only a ma jority of tho Yotes Of that body will be held to be necessary for the adoption of an agreement for arbitration.
 So far as could be learned today. no plans are under way for an attempt to repeal the toll exemption provision to which Great Britain has directed it's chief protest. Although the course was recom- mended by Secretary of War Simson to his annual report, senators who were strongly identified with the fight against exemption last August stated today that they knew of no contemplated bill or amendment to repeal that portion of the law.
 May Favor Arbitration
 A strong sentiment exists in the Senate in favor of q final submission to arbitra ton of the respective rights of Great Britain and the United States at the ca- nal Leading senators who indorsed this sentiment, however expressed tse belief today that 1t would be impossible to se- cure even a majority of the Senate in spite of an arbitration agreement if the President should finally submit such an agreement for approval. The passage of bill repeating the tolls exemption pro- vision of the law also would be practi- caly impossible 1t is stated
 The arbitration treaty with Great Britain. ratified in 1908, provides that dis putes between the two countries shall be submitted to arbitration through an agreement made by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate" While treaties specifically require two thirds vote for ratifcatons many sena tors believe an agreement under an ex- isting treaty might be held to require only majority vote. Should diplomatic negotiations with Great Britain fail to settle the disputed questions, it is believed that they nevertheless will delay matters so that an arbitration agreement could not come for final consideration fin the Senate until the democratic administra- ton has come Into power

Must Speak of Past

What have to say of the constitu- ton must refer chiefly to the past, be- cause it's provisions seem to be ow not so far removed from the field of polit- teal controversy as they have been since 1S65. Fortunately there is plenty Co be said without trespasslng on that contro- versial field from which my official posi- ton debars me.
 "rhe whole of your history since l7S9 is a record of the services which the con stitution has rendered to you. lt formed q new, or at least it strengthened and de- veloped for the sentiment was fortunate ly brought by your ancestors from Eng land, the habit of deference to the law and respect for it's forms, with sense of the value of directing everything by strictly legal methods which is one of the finest attributes of a free people. lt taught you to recognize that free gov ernment must be founded upon the sense of right, upon the respect of every man and every community for the rights of every other man and community, 10 the exclusion of all violence It impressed upon every citizen the sense that the will of the whole people duly ascertained. and acting through the prescribed forms. must prevail.

Tribute to Constitution

On the eve of his retirement from the post of British ambassador at Washing ton, which he has occupied with dtstinc- ton for six years, James Bryce tonight paid all extraordinary tribute to the con stitution of the United States.
 The ambassador said in part:
 'slhe constitution waS the work of all extraordinary group of men. such as has seldom been seen living at the same time in any country. and such as had never been brought together in any other country to undertake the immensely dif- heult task of framing a Fundamental in- strument of government for a nation. The nation was then small one, and it is one of the most striking tributes to the genius and foresight of the men that that frame of government which they designed for 100000 people should have proved fitting to serve the needs of 90,- MD ODD

]. Edward Addicks, who came TO

Mr.. Addicks makes no distinction be-

visited the Office of Magistrate
Thomas S. Lewis, who was one OF the
staunchest OF Regular" Republicans
during the Addicks regime. and stood
out against the election of Mr.. Ad-
dicks TO the United States Senate.
The two shook hands today and ap-
peared to be the best of friends.
During the conversation that fol-
lowed Mr.. Addicks smilingly remarked
that Tom" meaning the Squire"
was wholesome enemy.

with equal good humor.
At this point Mr.. Addicks told a
story, in which he and Mr.. Lewis fig
ured at the time the late Anthony
Higgins was q candidate for the
United States Senate, over which both
laughed. Mr., Lewis was working in
Mr.. Higgins behalf, and at the same
time was trying to interest Mr.. Ad-
dicks in the success of the party
Mr.. Addicks was asked by a re-
