The normal Argentina corn crop is less
than a tenth as large as the yield in
the United States, but most of the Ar
gentina corn is exported, while very
little goes abroad from the United
States and at the present time prices are
higher in this country than in Europe.
In view of the fact that this country
consumes $500, ZOO, 900 bushels or more
annually, Qf that much is produced),
the importation of 25,000,000 bushels
from Argentina would not be sufficient
to make an appreciable difference In
prices. 1t would add only per cent to
the total supply.
F. Drew Caminetti foresees a
gloomy future. He processes not to be
worrying over his approaching trial
for alleged violation Of the Mann act,
for which his companion, Maury Diggs
has been convicted, but he appears to
be appalled, by the prospect Of trying
to live down the scandal caused by his
trip to Reno with Diggs. Marsha War

he said yesterday, "the indictments
against me were dropped. What could
/ do? There is nothing in California

Caminetti is unknown. When public
opinion is against a man, 1t is just
about his finish. After l was indicted

had become reconciled with his wife.
He said they had had dinner at the
same house once since he had been in
San Francisco and that he had been

A test vote in the Democratic house
caucus last Friday fully sustained the
president on the currency bill now
pending. The issue came on the ques-
ton of interlocking directorates in
banks chartered under the proposed
law. The insurgents sought to prohib-
II such interlocking on the ground that
the Baltimore platform declared point
blank against the system. The Glass
bill, however, provides for interlocking
directorates, and the insurgents were
quoting Mr.. Bryan as upholding this
view. When the caucus met a letter
was read from Mr.. Bryan standing
squarely by the president. He said
that the provision Of the bill under
which the government is to issue cur
rency to be loaned to the banks Is a
distinct triumph fer the people, the
first they have secured in currency leg
islation for generation. He said also
that control Of the banks by board
composed Of government officials was
equally important, and without this
government issue of the currency,
ho nf
provision that permits state banks to
share in the benefits of the proposed
new law on the same terms as national
banks also has his especial approval.
He said that while he may object to
some details, he recognizes how there
Is more or less compromise In all leg
islation, and that there Is no use for
one to hope to get all one wants. 1t
was agreed that the matter of inter-
locking directorates would be taken up
in separate legislation later on.
Harry K. Thaw is still in Jail at
Sherbrooke in the province Of Quebec,
Canada, and continues to hold the in
terested attention of the entire coun-
try. The hearing on the question Of
his deportation as an undesirable,
which was to have been held several
days ago, has been postponed until to-
morrow when, unless there Is another
postponement, there will be great
fight. Thaw has employed big bunch
of lawyers, and the understanding for
several days has been that former Dis
trict Attorney Jerome will assist the
attorneys representing the state Of
New York, although the unsettled
question in the state as to who Is gov
ernor has been confusing matters
somewhat. Thaw is doing quite lot
Of talking, much to the annoyance of
his lawyers, who do not want anything
of the kind, and 1t was reported yes
terday there had been reached an
agreement under which the lawyers
are to manage the legal end while
Thaw manages the publicity end him
self 1t is thought possible that II the
Canadian government orders the de-
portation of Thaw, the next question
will be the state to which he shall be
deported. 1t has been suggested that
he may be sent direct to New York, in
which case he will go on direct to Mat
teaWan; but the concenSuS of opinion
seems to be that If he is deported, of
which there is very little doubt, he will
be put over inlo Vermont, and in that
event there will Immediately develop
another big fight on extradition.
