CITRUS
FRUITS MAY 60
ON FREE LIST.
THIS IS OPINION OF PRESIDENT
POWELL, OF CALIFORNIA CIT.
RUS EXCHANGE.
Is Urging Florida Representatives
to Work Against Such
Move.
{ BY Winfield Jones. }

Washington, May II. President
Powell. Of the California Citrus Fruit
Exchange, has been holding confer
ence for several days with different
members Of the Florida delegation in
Congress, to urge them to combine
with the California senator's and rep
resentati,es In an effort to prevent
lemons being put on the free list
by the Senate. Mr.. Powell believes
that if any changes are made in the
lemon and orange schedules that
both articles will be treated alike,
and expressed the opinion today that
oranges may be put on the free list.
Under the present Payne tariff law
lemons are taxed 12 cents pound,
and oranges cent a pound
The Underwood bill provides for
a duty of a little less than one-half
cent pound on each. Mr.. Powell
believes that only by making an ef-
fort to increase the duty on both
over the Underwood scale, by the
combined efforts of the California
and Florida delegations. will it be
possible to keep both oranges and
lemons from being put on the free
list by the Senate.
1t Is very doubtful whether the
Florida senators will accept Mr..
Powell's point of view and join is
sues with the California delegation

PROTECTION OF FISH.
Maryland and Virginia Governors and
Commissioners to Meet in Sep
tember.

Washington, Aug. S.-To discuss
plans for the protection of the fish
and the fishing industry of the Chesa-
peake Bay and its tributaries, DR.. F..
L. Jones, deputy commissioner of the
United States fish commission, has
arranged for conference to be held
here about the middle of September
between Secretary Redfield of the
Department of Commerce and the
governors and fish commissioners of
Virginia and Maryland.
The conference will consider a bill
introduced by Representative Linthu-
cum, of Maryland, which would grant
Federal protection, and discuss means
to be adopted in case the measure is
rot passed.
Dr.. Jones said yesterday that the
bes; plan would be to have the fed
eral supervision of fishing in the
Chesapeake and its tributaries, but
if this could not be obtained the two
states should pass laws establishing
a closed season from sunset Satur-
day until Monday morning to give the
fish chance to get up stream and
should prohibit the catching of stur-
geon for two years.
Federal aid in protecting the fish in
these waters, it has been found, can
be extended under an old harbor and
river bill, which reuires that at least
one third of the channels be kept
clear, light be set on stakes at night,
that the owners name appear on the
stakes and that they be taken up en-
eirely in the winter.
"For the sake of few thousand
dollars now," said DR.. Jones, "some
of the fishermen by their wanton
methods threaten to destroy in a few
years an industry worth many mil
lions"

Washington, Aug. S.-Oficial no.
hice was served this morning on the
State Department and President Will
son, that President Huerta will not
regard as desirable the presence
of Governor Lind in Mexico unless he
brings credentials in proper form and
recognition of the Huerta govern
iment. Notice from the Mexican Pres
ldent was delivered to the State De-
partment from the American en-
bassy in Mexico City.
This action has precipitated the
crisis. Upon receiving it this morn
ing, Secretary Bryan at once hurried
Ito the White House and consulted
with the President. He refused to
state what action would be taken.
Following his call the President con-
ferred at length with the Secretary
of the Navy.
If, as press dispatches from Mex
ico Indicate, Huerta orders the envoy
deported as an undesirable alien"
or permits him to be molested or as
:saulted, it may not mean interven-
ton. 1t might mean war. At all
events, the United States, having ex-
every peaceful means of re-

the world as having suffered an open.

The battleship New Hampshire,
carrying Mr.. Lind to, Vera Cruz, is
fast nearing her destination. She will
reach here this evening. With her
arrival will come the real crisis.
