Outwardly the most pressing question In
the Mexican situation was whether 4 con-
gratulatory message should be dispatched
TO Mexico CITY on the occasion OF the
one hundred and third anniversary OF
Mexican independence and TO whom II

The first thing the president did was
TO receive several hundred delegates 10
the international Congress on Refrigera-
ton. The long line passed through the
presidents room in the executive Offices
where the president shook hands with all,
but made no speech.
Secretary Bryan had conference on
Mexico while Secretary McAdoo had an
engagement TO talk over the collectorship
of the port of Boston. IT was not ex-

WASHINGTON, w Sept. l6,-Modifcn-
ton of the senate cotton futures taS
Amendments to the tariff bill 30 make
the provision acceptable TO the house,
will be considered by the tariff confer
ence committee within a day or two.
Informal discussion Of the subject has
developed the fact that tho house prob
ably would accept the plan of taxing
trades IN cotton futures, if the terms Of
the Clarke amendment adopted by the
senate were modified.
A substitute for the Clarke amend
ment submitted to the conferecs today
by Representative Lever of South Car
DINA, chairman of the house committee
on agriculture, would provide that the
tax of one tenth of cent per pound, or
30 cents per bale. should not be as
sessed where the cotton contracts call
for the regular government grades and
such grades actually are delivered: or
where the difference in price is paid
if another grade is delivered. This and
other changes viii be considered, in the
belief that the cotton futures amend
ment finally will be retained as regu'
latory provision. as well as revenue
raising feature.
The tariff confcrees pushed through
the sundries schedule of the tariff bill
today, reaching agreement on most OF
