vey Of Conditions in An
nual Address.

Salt Lake, Jan. 11.-Dogs and
disease on the eastern farm, set
tiers and inimical legislation on
the western range together with

the world decline in wool produc-

livered today at the opening of the
fifty-third convention.
President Hagenbarth made his
statement in conjecturing the fu-
ture of the industry in connection
with the possibility of the Euro
pean war ending soon. He asked
the question: will present high
prices continue?" and answered
it without prophesy; merely with
q broad survey of conditions.

RATIFICATION OF TREATY SENT
FROM COPENHAGEN - NEXT
STEP WILL BE APPROPRIATION
BY CONGRESS OF THE PUR-
CHASE PRICE.

Washington. Jan. 11.-According to
official adyices from Copenhagen the
ratification by King Christian OF the
treaty providing for the sale of the
Danish West Indies to the United
States is to be dispatched on a steam
er leaving Copenhagen today for New
York.
The exchange of ratifieations will
mark the concluding step in the nego-
tiations and the consummation of the
deal will follow when congress makes
the appropriation of $25,000,000, which
is the purchase price stipulated in the
treaty. 1t is expected that the appro-
priation bill will be made at this ses-
sion, but It is considered doubtful IL
the present congress will make any
effort to create a permanent form of
government for the newly acquired
possessions.
TO WORK OUT DETAILS.
Before taking possession of the ISL
ands there are many details involved
in the transfer to be worked out by
the executive department of the gov
ernment involving contracts and busi-
ness concessions in the islands which
the treaty guaranteed would be con-
tinued. These will be adjusted, in all
probability, together with temporary
form of government for the islands,
which would prevail pending conghes-
sional action.

CHANGES MADE AT
FREQUENT INTERVALS
Women Relieved in Order
to Return to Headquarters
to Warm Their Feet
Strong Wind Makes Hold
ing Of Banners Difficult

Washington, Jan. IL
The suffragist "silent SEN
tinels" resumed duty OUT
side the White House gates
today despite the freezing
wind. The president de-
parted for his usual golf
game before they went on
duty, but they were deployed
SO he could not fail to see
their banners when he re-
turned.
Because OF the cold sentlnels were
changed at frequent intervals to re-
turn to Congressional Union head
quarters to warm their feet.
FLANkED THE DRIVEWAY.
When the president and Mrs. Will
son return from their golf game the
sentinels quickly ran to positions so
they flanked the driveway. The presi-
dent smiled broadly. but gave no rec
ognition OF the pickets.
Hot chocolate to warm the pickets
was brought over. Before noon the
wind became SO strong several of the
smaller sentinels found difficulty in
holding the banners.
Mrs. William Kent, wife OF a Call
fornia representative. found one OF
the pickets shiyering with Gold and
gave the young suffragette her fur
coat and spats.

OF commissioners Is desired by the
court or necessary for the transac-
ton of its business, that the court be
empowered to appoint .wo commits
sioners for the purpose of aiding in
the work.
If, however, additional judicial dis
tricts are created, the appointment of
commissioners might not be found nee
essary and the services of the district
Judges in aid of the supreme court
might afford sufficient relief for the
present.
2. That the constitution be amend
ed so that cases involving only money
demands amounting to $500 or less
shall not be appealed to the supreme
court
3. Provide that the public utilities
commission shall consist of one mem
Der only instead of three, and give
broad power of denomination to the
courts; provide also that adequate
technical assistance be given to the
commission. In part, this might be
provided for through the state engl-
neer's office.
IRRIGATION MATTERS.
l. Provide for the taking of all
questions relating to irrigation out of
the hands of the state board of and
commissioners and putting the same
In charge of the state engineer, giving
adequate appeal to the courts from his
decision. If there are any questions
upon which the action Of board might
be desired. that this board be made up
OF the state engineer, the attorney
general and member OF the public
utilities commission.
o. Amend the law so that where
estates of $4,000 or less are involved
that only six months notice to cred
itors need be given
we also suggest the following ques-
tions:
That in civil cases involving
comparatively small amounts,
that the jury may be made up of
some number less than L.
That verdict Of 10 jurors In
stead of unanimous verdict be
accepted in all criminal cases
except those of the graNest im-
portance.
Also the question as to whether or
not some more adequate provision
might be provided for taking questions
involving public matters in which tho
state Is interested directly before the
supreme court in order to procure a
final and speedy determination

Given Provinces Must Be

curities for Future.

London, Jan. 1.-THE AS
sociated Press learns that
the entente reply to Presi-
dent Wilson makes specific
designation of it's terms of
peace, which includes the
restoration of Belgium, Ser
bla and Montenegro, with
complete reparation for the
damage they sustained and
the evacuation of the invad-
ed territories Of France,

such reparation as is con-
sldered just.
The terms also require the liberation
of Italians, Slavs and Rumanian Slavs
from foreign nominations.
TURKEY TO ASIA.
The retirement of the Turkish en-
pire from Europe is also required. The
terms provide for the reorganization of
Europe, with guarantees by a stable
regime and founded upon the respect
I've nationalities and the full liberty
and security of great and small ma
tions.
RETURN OF cE-LORRAiNE.
Wlihe Alsace Lorraine and Italian
Tyrol are not specifically named. yet
the terms require the restitution Of
territories previously severed from the
allied nations by force or contrary to
the wishes of their populations. This

Lorraine and Italian Tyrol.

nople is not specifically alluded to the
Turkish clause is considered Indirect
~ to mean the replacement OF Turkey
by Russia at the Dardanelles.

of Russia concerning Poland is also
indorsed.

u. s. Takes Bulk of
Argentma's Wool Clip

According 20 an article in the Buenos
Ayres Herald the wool season that
ended on September 80 was one Of the
most important that country has seen,
as the shipments, 349.622 bales, we're
the largest Of the last FIVE years. Two
thirds Of last years clip were acquired
by the United States; France was the
second best buyer. In the preceding
season Italy occupied second place.
The purchases Of other countries did
not change much this season, although
there was a falling OFF in the cargoes ;
sent to neutral ports. Both Spain and
Holland took much smaller quantities
than in the preceding season, and the
exports to various places" amounted
TO only 1922 bales, as compared with
21,305 bales in 1876. This ieellne
in shipments TO neutral countries, II Is
said. was due largely to political press
ure. but must be attributed in part TO
the extraordinarily high prices OF the
year, which. without doubt, caused
restriction in consumption.
The prospect for the new season Is
even brighter than the outlook at the
beginning of last season, as the clip
will amount, more or less, TO the same
figures, while the quality is much bet
ter, which leads many dealers 70 be-
lieve that prices will be even higher
this year than last.

Cotton.

Cotton for December delivery sold
above the 30-cent level in the local
market yesterday, realizing the most
bullish predictions Of a few weeks ago
and establishing the highest range OF
values that has been recorded in the
New York cotton trade since the au-
tumn of 1863. Trading was active and
excited, the advance being due TO a re-
newal Of trade buying. broadening
outside demand and covering By shorts
while there was evidently strong COM
petition for the few notices which were
issued against Decem Der contracts. That
month sold at 30.50. an advance of more
than 81 a bale from the closing quo
tation of Saturday. and closed at 1928
The general list showed closing gains
of 46 TO 65 points.
According 10 estimates around the
ring, the December notices issued
amounted to only 500 bales. and no
less than eleven local and Southern
houses were said TO be in the market
for deliveries. The strength OF the
near position naturally exercised a
sympathetic influence on later months
