.SENA SIMMONS
met vi, WILSON \

Washington, March 19.--Senator
Simmons outlined to the president his
plans for handling the tariff bill in
the senate. President Wilson will be
in frequent conference with Repre-
sentative Underwood, the democratic
leader of the house. and Senator Sim
mons, upon whom will fall the chief
work Of drafting the bill.
1t is believed here there will be a
conference in the near future of the
democratic members of the two con-
gressional houses and the entire pro-
gramme will be one of close communi-
cation and simultaneous study on the
part of congress and the president be-
fore the extra session conyenes so the
tariff can be disposed of in as brief
a period as is possible thus giving
time for other legislation.

COMMENT ON
Wilson's
STATEMENT
Government VIII Not Request
Banks to Loan to China
Five Power Group May Go
Ahead With the Loan
Other American Bankers May
Also Figure IN Loan

Washington, March 19.--Wilson's s
statement of the administration at
titude toward American bankers par
ticipation in the Chinese loan and
foreign loans generally, attracted wide
spread comment and discussion in Of
ficial and diplomatic circles.
Following closely upon the state
ment come intimations that negotia-
tions now may proceed as a five power
affair without the American group. 1t
is intimated some American bankers,
other than those conceEned in the -loap
that was rejected, are figuring on par
ticipating in the transaction, but it is
pointed out, the presidents statement
made clear that while the Chinese
government will have the sympathetic
support of the United States, under no
circumstances would 1t take the form
of guarantee to would-be investors
in Chinese securities.
President Wilson, in q statement ap-
proved by the. cabinet after some dis
cussion, announced the administration
has declined the request Of a group of
American bankers to continue negoti-
ations for participating in the $685.
600 loan desired by the Chinese gov
ernment
The statement in part says the pres
ent administration has been asked by
a group of bankers whether it will re-
quest them to participate in the loan
the bankers representative declared
they would continue to seek their
share of the loan only IL expressly re-
quested to do so by the government.
The administration declined to make
such a request because it didn't ap-
prove of the conditions Of the loan or
the implication Of responsibility on
it's part which it was plainly told
would be involved in the request.
"The conditions of the loan, says
the statement, seem to touch very
nearly the administrative independ-
ence of China itself, and this admin
istration does not feel it ought, even
by implication, to be party to these
conditions"

The education of the farmers in the
matter of good roads and the work.
ing of the surplus convicts Of the
state on the roads of the state, were
advocated by both the speakers last
night at the closing banquet of the
North Dakota Highway Improvement
association convention, and which was
attended by nearly seventy-five mem
bers from all parts 70 the state, and
the enthusiasm was much manifest.
At the closing meeting in the after
noon Hon. John Bruegger Of Williston
presided and the constitution and by
laws were adopted and the officers
above named were elected. 1t was
stated in the meeting that any. citizen
of the state could become a member
Of the association upon the payment
of so cents and that after the first
year the dues would be 81, but this
year just half that sum.
The banquet was laid at s 80 in the
dining room Of the commercial club
and the service which was excellent
was by the Pirie Go. After the din
ner had been disposed of J. p. Hardy,
secretary at the request Of Presi-
dent Page OF the commercial club act
ed as toastmaster and in neat little
talk introduced the governor of the
state as the first speaker.
What Governor Hanna Said.
Governor Hanna said that he had
been given the subject of What
Know About North Dakota Roads,
and he said that many men who own
ed an automobile In the state must
have the same knowledge he did, that
the roads were not of the best. Then
he talked of the good roads he had
seen in the east and the pleasure he
had experienced of riding on them.
He spoke of the different measures
that had from time to time come up

in congress for the betterment of the
roads of the country, but that con-
gress apparently thought that these
roads should be made and taken care
OF by each state rather than by the
federal government. He estimated
that there were 1,001,200 miles of road
over which the rural mail is delivered
and he said that there were 1900
miles in the county of Csss alone.
Make the Autos Pay.
He said that the automobile as-
sociations are doing a good deal Of
good along the line of good road
building. and he said that last year
$50, 900 had been collected in the way
Of licenses from the machines and he
estimated that there were at least o.
COO machines in the state on which no
license was paid. He said the dis
tribution of this $4,000 in the diff
ferent counties would not do much
good, hut that il $4,000 Of ii was
given and placed with $4,000 that
would be obtained from the federal
government for North Dakota, then
1t might be possible to build at least
one good road in the state, and that
the people seeing this road would. tbe
moved to continue the good work He
showed how S500,000 had been APP
propriated by the federal government
for experiments in good roads in he
different states and that this states
share would be about 10000. He said
the trouble was in disposing of the
money received by the state from the
automobiles each county wanted it's
share, with the result that no county
had anything that would make a
showing, and ne advised that twenty
five or thirty counties go together and

forces in a twenty-four hour battle
which ended today along the Tchatalja
lines defining Constantinople.
The Ottoman troops took the Of
fensive, opening the attack by advanc-
ing their right wing which proceeded
as far as Sivaskeui Kalifakeui. Large
forces Of Bulgarians were encountered
and the fghting soon spread along the
whole front.
The Turkish troops drove the Bui-
garians from their trenches and took
possession. The Turkish center then
advanced and stormed the heights in

garians.
The other columns of Turkish troops
captured several heights held by the
Bulgarians to the south Of the Turkish
lines. The losses Of both armies are

One Of Most Successful Func-

New US. Treasurer Presented
With Diamond

The farewell banquet to former Gov.
John Burke. treasurer of the United
States, at the Gardner hotel last night
will be an event long remembered in
the minds of the prominent citizens
of Fargo and throughout the state
who were present. The function was
one of the largest and most success
full that has ever been given in the
city.
Republicans as well as democrats
were lavish in their praise OF the man
who served longer as governor of
this commonwealth than any other.
Only the highest words OF commenda-
tion were heard and it was the same
degree of confidence they reposed in
him during his three consecutive ad-
ministrations as governor OF North
Dakota that they see him assume the
duties OF his higher Office to which
President Wilson has called him.
Every republican VINO spoke last
night at the Burke farewell banquet
testified he had helped to elect the
democratic governor three different
times and had no apologies to OFFER
for breaking party ties on those oc-
casions.
