Washington, April 9.--How to steer

The Democrats met In caucus, bu,
Immediately adjourned to await the
message of President Wilson. After
providing for working committees ol
the extra session they will consider
the tariff bill as introduced by the
ways and means committee.
The principal problem confronting
the house leaders, who are LISTENING
to members of the senate for the sake
of harmony, Is whether the bill should
be reported I'm the house In its en-
tirety or schedule by schedule. Demo
cratic senators who oppose the sugar
schedule. with its provision for free
sugar In three years, object to consid
Grafton of the tariff bill as one bill.
Though no decision has been reached
there 10 a probability that the house
caucus may determine finally to segre
gate the sugar schedule, taking up al
the other schedules and the income
tax az one bill.

Some Very Interesting Facts About the Ford

AT a meeting of the Adcraft club il
Detroit, Mich, last week. ~ A. Haw
aims, general sales manager of tbs
Ford Motor Co., gave an interesting
talk on what it means to manufacture
200, 900 complete motor cars in twelve
months. His story, bristling with
figures. was full of the romance OF
business. Ten years age the company
was capitalized at $25, 900 and did an
annual business of 100000. Today
it is the largest motor car factory In
the world; has capitalization of $50,
600 600 and sells annually $500, 900.
900 worth of cars in all the world.
The January sales of Ford cars,
said Mr.. Hawkins, ''were nearly 80,
600. 900 for the month or more thar
twice the gross receipts of the Crane
Trunk railway system for the same
month. In the last four months we
did business of nearly $50, 900, 00C
and two of these four months were not
real good Ones He further stated,
"The Ford is an organization of young
men, lot an executive head has been
added to single department of the
business in more than six years, during
which time the output of cats and

Commerce Between the United States
and Latin.America.

Washington, April 9.-Exports from
the United States to Latin-America
will approximate $1,000,000 for each
business day of the current fiscal
year, or practically three times as
much as a decade ago. Returns thus
far received and compiled by the sta
tistical division of the bureau of for
eign and domestic commerce indicate
that the value of merchandise export
ed from the United States to Latin
America in the fiscal year 1913 will
Approximate 1926, 5,0O0,O 900, against
$115,000,000 In 1903. The share of our
exports now sent to Latin-America Is
over 13 per cent, as against per cent
in 1908. Meantime the imports from
there have doubled, the figure fol
1903 having been $226. 100000, against
an estimate of $460, 100000 in 1918
The share which merchandise from
Latin-America forms of the imports

about 26 per cent.

upon arriving at the Capitol was es-

his usual clarity of tone and notable
diction, read his message. while the
crowds packed into the chamber gave
the closest attention.
AS the president read every eye
was riveted on the speakers stand
with its new occupant. Never in the
life of any man present had a presi-

such capacity.
President Wilson had prepared his
message some days in advance but at
the eleventh hour wrote a preface as
