now being waged in England between
British and American packers, spec
ulators in London and Liverpool are
purchasing Argentine beef and ship
ping it to this country where they
are at present able to compete with
States-grown beef
The Armour Swift group of Ameri-
can meat packers has lowered the
price of South American meat in Lon
don and Liverpool to a point where
the spectators there are taking a
chance at the American market. find
Ing that they can bring the meat from
South America to English ports and
then ship ii back across the Atlantic
70 New York and sell it here in com
petition with American grown beef
from the West
The spectators can land South
American beef in New York just at
present at about a penny a pound
less than il costs to get plains grown
cattle here from the West but this
condition win not last any longer than
the present low price holds in Ion
don When the combine let's the price
go up to a normal point it viii not

Argentine 9aughterers are now
paying the ranChers about 6 cents a
pound for cattle on the hoof The

6 to sig cents a pound for cattle On
the hOof. The freight on meat from
Chicago to New York averages about
oue-qU9rter cent pound. The freight
on meat from Argentina to London
averages about l cent a pound.

Washington, April 9.--While Presiden

there aimed principally at japanese, it is
understood in official circles that neither
President Wilson nor Secretary Bryan

government might construe as an affront
The President let it be known today
that 1t was not his purpose to attempt in
terference with the sovereignty of a state
but that of course any state legislation
affecting treaty rights was subject to re-
view by the supreme court.
Diplomatists pointed out that another
question also involving treaty obligations
is pending between Japan and the United
States, that of the fur seal convention
Former President Taft just before leaving
office urged Congress to- pass certain
laws that the United States might not be
reniss in subscribing treaty obligations
Great Britain has also made representa-
tions on what it claims to be a nonfulfll-
ment or the fur seal treaty. 1t is sug-
gested now that any charge of breach
of treaty obligations with Japan and
Great Britain on the California legisla-
tion and fur seal questions might become
a factor in the pending negotiations be-
tween the United States and Great Britain
over the exemption of American coastwise
ships from canal tolls which Great Britain
also contends to be breach of a treaty
obligation.

TO ELECT
GEORGIA SENATORS
First to Be Effected by
New Election Amend
ment

Washington. April Qualification
of the constitutional amendment pro-
yiding for direct election of. United
States senators will have it's first eff
feet upon the senatorial situation in
Georgia, it was said here today Sem
ator Bacon was renominated at a di~
rect primary last year and would have
been reelected by the state legislature
in June. The change in the constitu-
ton will force the calling of general
election when the legislature assemblies
and senator Bacons name will be sub
mitted to the people for direct approval.
The Georgia situation is unique be-
cause of the summer session of the
legislature Although nominated at Il
popular primary last year Senator Ba-
con now is serving under an appoint
ment by the governor, his term hav-
ing expired March 4. As the new
amendment takes away from the legis-
lature the power to elect a senator II
may direct the governor to again make
an appointment until a special election
can be held.

Senate Situation Canvassed in Detail
in Conference.-The Difficulty
in Standing Together, Thinks
President-House Agrees
to First Schedule

Washington, April s.-In the interest of
Success for the democratic tariff revision
bill, President Wilson today stepped over
another obstacle in the way of perfect
harmony between the White House and
directing forces of Congress. For the
second successive day he left his offices
in the White House and journeyed to the
capitol, this time for an nour and half's
conference with democratic members of
the Senate finance committee
At its conclusion the President stated
frankly to newspaper men that he and
members of the Senate were agreed that
nothing stood in the way of harmonious
support of the party platform as to
tariff revision.
The Senate situation was canyassed in
detail in the conference. The dangers
that might threaten a single bill should
the opponents of free sugar and free wool
combine in sufficient strength to endanger
the democratic majority in the Senate
were discussed, but no agreement was
reeched that binds the Senate leaders to
shy definite line of action.
Details Discussed.
While the Senate conference was In
progress, the full democratic membership
of the House was in caucus at the other
end of the capitol, discussing the details
of the tariff bill. the first schedule of
which was agreed to without change.
Representative Underwood, the democrat
ie leader, stated at the conclusion of the
days caucus that the iariif revision would
sso through the House as single bill
The President again ignored long stand
ing precedent in seeking a legislative con-
ference within the capitol He met the
senators in the Presidents room, near
the Senate chamber, where Presidents
have long come to sign the last bills of a
dying Congress. but which had never be-
fore been used for such purpose as to-
days within the knowledge of Senate
historians.
At the end of the conference the Presi-
dent, with democratic simplicity, stepped
into the Senate corridor to tell newspaper
men the results of the meeting. Members
of the Senate finance committee had
agreed that the President should be the
only spokesman for the conference.
Discussed Tariff
'I hope the senators and representatives
will permit me to come here frequently
and confer with them in a way to save
their time and mine" he said. ''At oul
conference this afternoon we were, OF
course discussing the tariff The net re-
suit is we don't see any difficulty about
starding together on any sort of party
programme"
The President was asked If the confer
ence had decided whether the tariff would
be revised in single bill or schedule by
schedule
That's matter for the other end OF
the CAPITOL he answered, pointing to-
ward the House side.
But they viii be guided by your advice,
