HOUSE CAUCUS SUSTAINS
LEADERS ON LIVE STOCK RATES
REPORTED BY COMMITTEE

Vigorous opposition was voiced in the
House Democratic caucus yesterday to
the policy Of taxing live stock while re-
moving all duties from meat products,
but although attempts were made to put
both cattle and sheep on the free list,
the Ways and Means Committee which
had decided on a duty of 10 per cent,
was sustained. The caucus made very
little progress with the tariff bill. Seized
ule was left uncompleted when the
caucus adjourned tonight until today.
Majority Leader Oscar Underwood was
indisposed and Representative Harrison
of New York took charge of the bill.
Cattle, the very first item in the
schedule, was the subject of the biggest
contest of the day. Representative Logue
of Pennsylvania moved to put cattle on
the free list. In the Underwood bill the
duty Is 10 per cent. When II came to a
vote, Representative Kinkead of New
Jersey demanded roll call and got ii.
The vote was 100 to rs against placing
cattle on the free list.
Representative Burke of Wisconsin
moved to reduce the tax on swine from
$50 per head to IS cents. His motion
was lost. but another roll call was OBJ
tanned on the question: OF free sheep
1<inkead moved to put them on the free
list, but was beaten So to 9S. This is the
closest shave the committee has had thus
far.
Burke then moved to increase the duty
on barley from IL to 80 cents a bushel
He was unsuccessful. as was also Rep
resentative Lazaro of Louisiana, when
the latter moved for a one and a half
cent rate per pound on cleaned rice in
stead of the one cent rate in the Under
wood bill. After this was voted down,
Representative Thompson of Oklahoma
moved to put rice on the free list. This
was also lost
Representative Sherley of Kentucky
was one of the leaders who joined in the
fight for free cattle The free cattle men
will tomorrow attempt to put wheat on
the free list. The Underwood bill pro-
vides 10 per cent duty on wheat

10 PROGRESS ON RUSSIAN PACT.
President Wilson PostpQnes It
Confederation TIL Later.

1t was learned ON the highest author
ity yesterday. that the administration
has made no progress in the negotia-
ton of new commercial treaty with
Russia.
President Wilson has decided that no
steps shall be taken by this govern
ment until Minister to Russia has been
appointed. President Wilson has given
very little thought to this problem of
the foreign affairs of his administration,
having postponed it's consideration until
certain matters of more pressing domes-
tic concern have been disposed of by
him.

SPECIAL VOTE in
ARIZONA ASKED
Ashurst Sends Out Circular
Letter Urging advisory"
Election for Judgeship.
WORRY FOR DEMOCRATS
Fear Ballot May Result in Placing
Ex.Gov. Sloan Back in
Office.

President Wilson's ideas of direct gov
eminent by the people are to be put to
a severe test If Senator Henry F. AS
hurst of Arizona, an advocate of the
initiative and referendum and judicial
recall, is permitted to carry out plan
which he has evolved for selecting a
district judge for the Federal district of
Arizona.
President Taft appointed ex-Gov.
Sloan, but the Senate refused to, confirm
the nomination. and a vacancy exists,
for which twelve candidates have APP
peared. Senators Smith and Ashurst
Joined in recommending one candidate,
but the story goes that Secretary CT
State Bryan objected to him because
on one occasion the candidate declined
to preside over a public meeting to
which Mr.. Bryan was to deliver an ad-
dress. The Senators from Arizona also
have charged that the Southern Pacific
Railroad has taken hand in the, fight.
Finally Senator Ashurst notified the
President and the Attorney General that
he would withdraw the recommendations
he had put on file and would ask the
people of Arizona to petition the Gov
ernor to call an advisory election at an
early date to allow the people of Arizona
to express their choice for a Federal
judge.
Senator Ashurst said yesterday that he
hoped President Wilson would not fill
the vacancy until after the people of
Arizona had an opportunity to express
their choice. But If he sees fit to fill
the vacancy, regardless of the petitions
that are being circulated for the special
election, l will have no quarrel with the
President about it, said Senator As
hurst. Il recognize his right as well as
his responsibility in the matter. Our
Statute providing for advisory elections
to give the people an opportunity to
express their preference for Federal
judge is the only one of its kind in any
State of the Union. T helped to pass
the statute and / believe il is my duty
10 see the spirit of it is carried out
in the letter which Senator Ashurst
sent to his constituents, urging them to
petition the Governor to call election,
aenator Ashurst says:
senator Ashurst's Letter.
II am anxious to see an advisory cleo
ton held in Arizona at the earliest prac-
ticable date, in order that the people
may have an opportunity to express their
choice for Federal judge. The Senators
will soon be ratified by the required
number of States, and surely the people
have the same right to make an express
sion as to their choice for Federal judge,
especially in view of the fact that the
Federal judge holds his position, for all
practical purposes, for life"
Some of the Democrats in Arizona be-
came alarmed wnen they learned that
their Senator had urged a special cleo
ton, and warned him that it might re-
suit in the election of ex-Gov. Sloan,
a Republican. whose nomination was not
confirmed by the Senate.
The election, if called, will be open to
Democrats and Republicans alike 10 vote
for a choice.

CONGRATULATIONS TO CHINA.
Austla Offers Bill that Would
Hasten Recognition.

A resolution congratulating the re-
public OF China upon its having become
republic was introduced in the House
yesterday by Representative Austin OF
Tennessee. The Austin resolution is
similar to one which passed the House
last session, but which failed of ac-
ton in the Senate. If adopted by Con-
gress 1t indicates the desire of the
legislative branch of the governme nj
to accord China the recognition which
has SO far been withheld by the State
Department.
Austin also introduced a bill to
amend the banking laws and to au-
thorize national bank associations to
lend money on real estate.
