 EHT1e purpose of my visit the White House was to suggest to the President the advisability of preparing an Amendment to the tariff bill which would give us immediate money in the south and west for moving the crops and jam both through the senate by night sessions if necessary. told him the Republicans seemed to object more strenuously to currency Iegisla- ton than tariff legislation and I felt the people of the country would ap- plaud if we gave them dose of both and held noses until they swallowed"

GERMANY AND RUSSIA FOLLOW
 GREAT BRITAIN
Neither Nation Inclined to Take Part In Coming
 Panama Exposition

Berlin, Aug. 1-Although the Ger marSsecretary of the interior declared today that Germany had not yet taken any action in regard to the question of her participation in the Panama Pacific Exposition at San Francisco in 1915 the opinion is freely expressed in official circles that the German Elm pire will not be represented here.
 It was pointed outNtoday that the British governments decision not to participate settles also the action of Germany, as the only facts which might have induced the German gov ernment to bring pressure to bear on unwilling industrial me nto exhibit was the fear of unfavorable compar.- son with Great Britain, and this has been eliminated.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC
 GRAFT SUSPECTED
RESOLUTION IN CONGRESS MAY START A JUDICIAL PROBE OF
 REGENT DECISIONS.
Asserted That Railway Has Been Re cipient Of Favorable Decisions in Land Cases.

Washington, Sept. 20-Allegationa that the governments case against the Southern Pacific railroad company for the recovery of oil lands valued at hundreds of millions of dollars has been 50 handled by the department of justice as to be most advantageous to the Southern Pacific railroad are contained in resolution which Rep. resentatiye Charles M Thomson. pro- gressiye, of Illinois, announced tonight he would introduce in the house Mon. day
 The resolution would demand a de. tailed statement from Attorney Cen eral McReynolds as to the facts con nected with the Southern Pacific Hti- gation requiring him to report speei. cally:
 Waether the government has tried 10 stop the Southern Pacific company rom constructing wells on the dis puted territory.
 What steps, if any, have been taken to prevent the extraction of oil from the lands in question.
 What action has been taken to nro- tect the governments rights to the lands other than the filing of a suit December 20, 1912, in the case now pending in the federal courts of Cali fornia.
 The lands in controversy embrace about l25,o00 acres, on which 1t IS claimed the government expressly re. served mineral rights The suit filed last winter was to recover l6.000 acres of this area and other suits for the balance are under consideration The Kern Trading and Oil company which
 handles much of the oil, also is in yolved in the case. Suits filed by pri- yate individuals, on the outcome of which the department is said to be waiting, the resolution asserts, are not similar 10 the government case and a supreme court decision in them would not preclude the success of govern | ment proceedings. It is alleged that oil worth $250,000 is being taken monthly from 50 wells on the prop erty.
 lt is said that conservation forces are interested in Representative Thom- ! NOn ueUidilu anu llidl Ant ltHlONdl or an employe of the department of jus | tice who mad been connected with i the cases started the controversy. Officials of the department or yus- 1 tice said tonight that Special Assistant ! Attorney General Townsend in charge 1 of the oil land cases, had seen Repre- sentative.

REAL ESTATE DEAL
 INVOLVES S47,O0O
VIM. SIMPSON, MISSISSIPPI, BUYS PROPERTY FROM THE
 BUSCH SISTERS
Is the Largest Real Estate Transac- ton Following Fire and Shows That Outside Capital is Interested.

That outside capital is interested in investments in Hot Springs following the big fire, and that confidence Is not lacking in the rebuilding of the city, is evidenced in a real estate transaction consummated yesterday when w. M Simpson, of Mississippi brother of Dr. E, A. Simpson of this city, purchased from the Busch sisters real estate in the city which in round numbers involved S47,000
 The property bought was 50 feet front on Ouachita avenue adjoining the Burton-Housley building, and 100 feet frontage, corner of Hazel street and Ouchaita avenue. The consdera. tion of the first named was $35, ,000 and for the other was $l2,000
 The deal was handled through C. o. Van Camp. who stated that it was the intention of MT Simpson to place substantial buildings on each of the properties. Mir. Simpson Is very en- thusiastic over the future of fTot Springs, and regarded his purchase as not only a splendid investment, but a bargain at the price.
 There has been some investigation made here by agents of other non.re-- idents, indicating that outsiders with capital are preparing to make invest ments here in the real estate lines IT they find that there is anything of a local slump However there has not been any material cut in the price of real estate following the fire, and in some instances larger prices are asKec than were asked before waen improve ments were on the property.

MARKETING APPLES
 BY COOPERATION
THE GROWERS OF WASHINGTON STATE PLAN TO ORGANIZE A
 SHIPPING ASSOCIATION.

Spokane, Wash, Sept. 20.-With view to organizing all apple shipping associations, independent shippers and growers of Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana into big protec- tive organization similar to the Cit rus Protective league of California, a meeting of several hundred of those concerned will be held in Spokane Thursday, November 20, in connec- tion with he national apple show.
 So-called fruit politics and all mat ters affecting marketing methods will be. eliminated at this conference, which will deal with matters in which all northwestern fruit growers and shippers havea common in,er- est. such as transportation, legisfa- tion, standardization of grading, packing and packages, and questions of control and elimination of fruit pests and diseases.
 The determination to hold the con ference was reached at a meeting of representative shippers and organ ization men called by R. k. Penning- lOH, pltSluGul Ol ttiC iiAVDi htftiSA4'i Apple Shippers association. j. H.. Robbins, general manager of the North Pacific Fruit Distributors, a large cooperative marketing agency having headquarters in Spokane, who is chairman of .he committee arrang- ing the conference, states:
 We recognize the divergence Of marketing policies at this time and realize that no one marketing or ganization could achieve what we shall map out Our idea is to per feet a thorough organization under he management of a high-class and capable man, who will devote his efforts to the general uplift of the deciduous fruit industry in the Pa cific northwest. He could more than earn his salary from the increased returns of one years crop if he could get the growers to use care in pick ing so that the fruit would not be bruised This is only one of numer- ous things that must be done for the | fruit business"
 During each day of the national apple show, November 17 to p, grow CTS from every district of the four Pacific northwestern states will par | ticipate ill conferences on marketing and distribution and financing, and an effort will be made to provide plants for the profitable utilization 'of orchard by-products.
