son O'Shaughnessy, American
charge d 'affaires, sent to Wash.
ington early to-day a long dis
patch telling the result of the
conference which he had with
General Huerta late yesterday.
O'Shaughnessy refused to d.
vulge what had been discussed
at the meeting, but his anxiety
was apparent to-day.
Reports in official circles were that
Huerta had informed the American
official that he would under no cir
cumstances consider retiring from Of
fee at the present time, but he would
willingly retire as soon as the in
coming Congress decided who should
hold the Office OF President ad in-
term. The next Congress will Dc
controlled by Huertistas.
Only three men were present "a
the conference at the National PAL
ace. They We're Huerta. O'Shaugh-
messy and Senior Robago, Huerta 9
private secretary. Members of the
Cabinet who arrived at the paIaca
during the conference were not al.
lowed to enter.
In this connection it is reported
that Minister Of Foreign Affairs Mo-
hena will retire and be succeeded by
Robago
Interested observers say no strong
er evidence OF Huerta's intention to
remain in office is needed than his
action in decreeing that all bank bills
are to be accepted at their face value,
but that it is not necessary to redeem
them in gold or silver This is likely
to help the Government vastly az
present, but might ultimately lead "a
financial chaor.

Chicago. April S.-The first national
conference on marketing and farm
credits which means to seek a rem dy
Tor the evils existing in the marketing
or farm products and for a more
equitable distribution of them, opened
here today for a three days meeting.
The organization was instituted as a
result of meeting of farmers and
farmers representatives in Texas in
1911, held to discuss the distribution
of the yield of the farms, but this is
the first time representatives with the
authority to form concrete plans for
securing the results desired have been
brought together.
Agricultural colleges and schools,
state universities, leaders of agricul-
tural organizations, farm journals and
the agricultural department of the
government are represented. One of
the main purposes is to seek the crea-
ton of a bureau of markets of the
United States government with an
nual appropriations sufficient for the
proposed work and carrying with it a
member of the presidents cabinet.
Another purpose is the organization of
the fruit growers of the middle west

Those in attendance at this meet
ing enlist for life in a pioneer move
ment which is the first concerted eff
fort of a national plane to redirect
economic forces and readjust the
farming population to harmonious re-
lauons with the business world.
For farm products the waste in
distribution is admitted to be large.
1t is to be reckoned for the country as
a whole each year in the hundreds of
millions, due partly to the perishable
nature of many of the farm products

sages to the Wisconsin legislature he
mentioned that at one time when tire
farmers of Waupasa county were selling
potatoes at the railway station for 30
cents a bushel the consumers in Milwau-

amount which went to the dealer between
