In silence the court waited for the
answer, on which hinged the peace and

BRYAN TAKES UP
TARIFF WITH BRAZIL
Secretary Of State to Discuss Recent
Removal Of Preferential on
American Exnerts.

AT the request of number Of New
York exporters engaged In trade with
South American countries. Secretary Of
State Bryan has taken up for considera-
ton the failure of the government Of
Brazil to renew the tariff preferentials
allowed for many years on certain Ameri-
can products exported to that country. It
Is understood that the matter will be
discussed with the Brazilian government
through diplomatic channels in the near
future, and an effort made to have the
preferentials on American goods restored.
For nearly ten years Brazil has allowed
a reduction of 20 per cent on flour, type
writer's. cement. corsets. clocks, watches,
and few other American article ex-
ported in large quantities to that country.
Under the preferential. the American ex-
ports of flour alone to Brazil have amount
ed s.. 900 in a single year. The exports
of American cement also have been very
large under the favored treatment.
Originally these tariff reductions were
granted the United States by Brazil In
recognition that two Of Brazil's principal
products, rubber and coffee, were admitted
into the United States free of duty. and
that the United States has been, more
over. Brazirs largest buyer of these ar
ticles.
The failure to renew the preferential
is thought by many interested persons
to be due to the suit brought by Attor-
ney General Wickersham against the
Brazilian coffee valorization syndicate.
The State of Sac Paulo, which maintains
the syndicate in coffee, enjoys very strong
influence with the Brazilian Federal gov.

WILSON UNCOMMITTEl
TO PHILIPPINE BILL
Believes Party PIatforn Means Inde-
pendence Only When
Il Is Safe
POLICY IS VERY IMPORTANT

President Wilson does not consider that
he or the Democratic majorities of the
two Houses OF Congress are committed
to the enactment of the Jones Philippine
Independence bill, which provides for alb
solute independence of the islands in
1921 The President considers that the
Democratic platform. which he accepts
as his legislative programme, binds the
party to granting absolute independence
to the Filipinos only as soon as 1t is
evident that a stable government has
been established.
The President regards the date on
which such independence should be
granted as a debatable subject. He is
determined to deal with the Jones bill.
setting as it does a specific date, upon
its merits His attitude toward the meas
ure will be determined by an investiga-
ton he proposes to make into existing
governmental conditions in the islands
and the capacity which the Filipinos have
developed for self-government.
Since the election it had been generally
assumed that the President regarded the
Philippine independence legislation as the
third great legislative problem which
faced the administration. 1t was thought
that he ranked this as next in importance
to the tariff revision and currency reform
legislation. and that he would insist that
the Philippine plank of the Democratic
platform be dealt with as soon as the
two other subjects were disposed of.

RETAINING Land.
GOES MERRILY ON
ANSWER TO cRITIcISM

A. p. Davis, chief engineer, United
States Reclamation Service, returned to
Washington yesterday, having completed
an extended tour of the West in an In
spectton OF several of the large irrigation
projects Of the government.
Satisfactory progress 10 being made
on all the large works, and particularly
those which are being constructed by
force account" said Mr.. Davis. ION the
great Arrowback dam, in Idaho. which
will be the highest in the world, our
engineers are considerably ahead OF their
schedule, and up to date the cost has
been under the estimate.
''On the Elephant Butte dam, in New
Mexico, the bed rock Is being uncovered
and preparations are being made to lay
foundations. This will create the largest
reservoir in the world. At Carlsbad the
new gates and wasteways have been
completed, and are very attractive struc-
lures.
In the Salt River Valley, in Arizona,
the focal point of adverse criticism OF
the serviee. the engineering work Of ex-
tending canals and developing power
goes steadily on. Large areas are being
subdivided and made ready for crops.
throughout the valley there are every
where evidences of optimism and pros
perity, quite at variance with some or
the sensational undertaking stories con-
corning the tyrannical and arbitrary con-
duct of the Federal government. 1t may
truthfully be said that these stories have
given far more credence In sections re-
mote than in the valley. where the facts
concerning the work Of the service are
known
Notwithstanding the statements pub
lished to the effect that the service has
placed an unjust burden upon the land
owners, Salt River Valley continues to
be an excellent place in which to live.
The people who are really engaged in
the work of making this the garden spot
of the world are not concerning them
selves to any extent with the present
campaign Of villifcation and misrepre-
sentation. Authorities on the subject are
proclaiming the fact that no other Sec
ton of the Southwest has a cheaper or
more assured water supply than SAT-
River Valley. This in itself may be re-
garded as answering the charge of ex-
travagant and inefficient engineering.

Citizens to Ak CHEF Wagner to Send

Much disappointment is being expressed
by citizens OF Congress Heights over the
failure of fire department officials to
place the new automobile fire engine in
service in that suburb. Over a year ago
plans were made for replacing some Of
the chemical apparatus in Congress
Heights. and an automobile engine was
bought for this purpose Over a month
ago this piece of apparatus arrived in the
city, but Is being used in another 10
cation. Congress Heights is going to
make strong plea to Chief Wagner &c
