MAXIMUM LIMITS UPSET MARKET
Bottom Drops Out of Pro- visions When One Side of
 Game Is Blocked

Chicago. Febuary 23.-Quick shrinkage in values took place on the board of trade as soon as new rules establish ing maximum price limits on every com
 modity were put into effect. Oats. es- pecially, made a sharp descent. Net declines were: Corn, Ac to ssG1ac; oats, S1kc to 41sc. and provisions, S5c to sl
 In the oats market there was a gen.
 eral rush to sell at the instant the opening gong struck. Notwithstanding, however, that transactions amounted to a big aggregate the pressure was of a
 widely distributed sort which gave no evidence of affecting any large individ- ual holders. Rallies that followed se-
 we're initial breaks in prices appeared to be due wholly to profit taking by shorts. Liquidation broadened again in the last part of the day.
 Corn was easier with oats, but the new restrictions did not apply directly to corn any more than has been the case for sometime. The fact that all fresh ly arrived corn here was in request helped to prevent radical weakness.
 Sudden wiping out of all chance to
 make money on the buying side of pro- visions brought about collapse of the market to the greatest extent allowed for
 one day Virtually all the business done was at the extreme bottom.

WOMAN'S PARTY CALLED
TO MEET IN SANTA Re
TO DISCUSS SUFFRAGE

Representatives of the National
Woman's party of New Mexico will
meet in Santa Fe on December 5, at
the call of state Chairman Mrs. w L.
Lindsey. Delegates from women's clubs
have also been asked to participate in
the conference. The action was
deemed necessary because the flu sit
uation in the state interfered with the
annual state convention of women's
clubs.
The meeting is called for the pur-
pose of discussing and deciding upon
definite plans for presenting certain
measures to the state legislature,
which convenes in January.
The chief subject for discussion will
be- suffrage, and whether it will be
better to ask for legislation at this
time 70 secure partial suffrage, SINH
lar to that in Illinois, or to center all
efforts upon getting the suffrage
amendment through the United States
senate.
One more vote in the senate will
pass the amendment, and the national
committee is making every effort to
secure that vote and to bring the
measure up for reconsideration during
the present session. To secure the
one vote still needed an intensive cam
paign is being waged in Idaho. Louisi-
ana and New Hampshire. where the
positions of senators Borah, Gay and
Moses are uncertain.
The question of a home for delin-
ouent girls will no doubt come up al
this time. as we'll as other questions In
which the women OF New Mexico are
particularly Interested.

R. s. LOVETT IS
CONSIDERED As
RAILROADS HEAD

ley MORNING JauHNAL SPECIAL LEASED W'Nhl
Washington, Dec. 2, President
Wilson did not leave Washington to-
night and the assumption was that he
would depart sometime tomorrow for
New York, where he will board the
liner George Washington on which he
and the other members of the Ameri-
can peace delegation will make the
voyage to France.
After addressing congress today. the
president devoted his time to clearing
away executive affairs in preparation
for his trip. He walked from the
White House to the office of the fed
eral trade commission for brief con-
ference with Chairman William b.
Colver Later he went to the war
department for a talk fifth Secretary
Baker and afterward called on Secre-
tary McAdoo at the treasury depart
ment.
Inquirers were assured today that il
was the presidents purpose to name a
secretary of the treasury and direc-
tor general of railroads before he de-
parts for Europe. Tonight the pres-
dent had second conference with
Mr.. McAdoo at the secretary's home
at which Mr.. McAdoos successors
were.,discussed and announcement OF
both is expected tomorrow.
In many quarters it is regarded as
almost certain that the president will
elect new director general to sue
coed Mr.. McAdoo from the present
railroad administration staff and Rob
ert s. Lovett. director of capital ex-
penditures is known to be under con-
sideration. Walter d. Hines, assistant
director general, is said to have ex-
pressed desire to remain in his pres
ent position.

CONGRESS WILL
NAME COMMITTEE
TO STUDY ROADS
Railway Executives Labor
Leaders and FinancierS toI
Be Taken Into Consultation
by Lawmakers


Washington. Dec. 2.---Creation of a
Joint congressional committee, con-
sisting of members of both houses, TO
inquire into the railroad situation.
soon will be sought, 1t was said today.
after President Wilson had advocated
this plan in his address before con-
gress. This committee would invite
railway executives, labor leaders, fl
nancial representatives, officials of
the railroad administration and men,
bers of the interstate commerce COM
mission to give their views as to the
best policies for future management
OF the rail lines. The committee then
would attempt to formulate a plan
for some sort of unified control and
common management which most
students of railroad matters are said
to advocate, regardless of whether
the government retains or relinquishes
its present control.
The need for haste in this program
was explained today by the president
and emphasized later by railroad ad-
ministration officials who admitted
they anticipate difficulty in carrying
out plans for acquiring new equip
ment, distributing it among roads.
and making extensive improvements
contemplated for next year, without
stretching the governments war pow
ers beyond the point where railroad
companies are willing to cooperate.
Congressional leaders, including
chairmen of the senate and house in
terstate commerce committees said
tonight that the line of action vet is
undetermined. Several, however, be-
lieved that a joint congressional in
curry will begin soon. Democratic
leaders expressed hope that legisla-
ton will be possible during the pres
ent session but some republican MEM
bers said it was doubtful II so import
ant and debatabIe a question could be
decisiyely settled during the conges-
tion of the short session.

last night when the show season open
ed here with Twin Beds" at the
Crystal theater. The house was one
of the largest that has greeted a road
show here for long time
The show itself. at least from the
standpoint of fun. could not have
been better. There was not dull
moment from beginning to end. The
crowd was kept shaking with laughter
during the entire performance. Truly
Twin Beds" is a good antidote for
the blues
