DIFFER OVER MERIT
OF PACKERS WORK
Senate Witnesses Assoil Plan
for Decentralization.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Arguments
that Decentralization Of the packing In
dustry would cheaper the food supply
were presented to the Senate Agricui-
tural Committee to-day by Mrs. Flor
ence Kelley, secretary Of the National
Consumers' League, but retail dealers
appearing to oppose the Kenyon and
kendrick licensing bills disagreed with
this view.
Carrying cattle long distances In
freight cars.Y said Mrs. Kelley, "and
carrying the meat still further In ex-
pensive iced equipment IL hot a way
to cheaper the food supply"
The packers. she said, had centralized
the food supply and the consumers were
paying more because the former local
sources were no longer depended upon
TO feed Eastern populations
Il II. Radberg. a st. Louis retailer,
said Mrs. Kelley's idea was that of re-
turning to conditions as they were
thirty years ago. you might az well
talk OF building houses without bath
tubs" he added.
Percy A. Brown of wilkesbarre, Pa,
said local meat supplies in Eastern
States were impossible because land was
too valuable for grazing use.

could be held responsible for high meat
prices. He showed that some sections

In an effort to interest them in the att

operate with the Hylan Vigilance Com
mittee In New York city in defeating all
candidates for the Assembly who refuse
to pledge themselves against any in
creased fare legislation at Albany next
winter, the secretary of the Vigilantes
has written to the members of the adj
visory committee of the conference.
The New York City Non-Partisan
Vigilance Committee" he wrote. "enters
this crusade against the traction trust
free from political intent or purpose and
solely In the interest OF the citizens of
New York State. 1t Is prepared to as
sumo the burden of State organization
as outlined, or it will be happy to coop
crate with the Conference of Mayors
along the same line.
Reorganization prior to election will
certainly defeat the plans of the traction
trust for increased fare legislation, II 1t
Is taken up and actively pushed. But
failure to take such action prior to cleo
ton probably will bring about a situa-
ton where the Conference of Mayors
will again appear before the Legislature
in opposition to such legislation, only to
be overruled as in the past.
This Is the time to organize and
pledge Assembly candidates"

Almost all the speakers during the de-

that Il would be absurd to grant the
franchise to women In a country where
65 per cent. of them were illiterate and
where even among those who could read
or write, knowledge OF government and
of the country was lnfnitesimal.
"Our women are not mature for po-

BERLIN CAN'T STOP
AUSTRIAN UNION
Informed Allies to That Effect
May 27, Reply to Ulti-
matum States.
TO RESPECT BOUNDARIES
Full Text of Paris Threat to
Occupy Rhine Right Bank
Is Published.

BERLIN, via Basic, Sept. 5.--The Ger
man reply to the note of the Allies with
regard to representation Of Austria in
the German Reichsrath says the Ger
man peace delegation informed the
Allies on May q that Germany had no
intention to modify the Austro-German
boundaries by violence, but could not
undertake to oppose a Austrian
spontaneous desire for union with Ger
many.
The Allies acknowledged receipt Of
this communication on June 16, the re-
ply continues, and therefore Germany
felt authorized to Insert Article 81 In
the constitution.
WASHINGTON, Sept 5.-The text Of the
ultimatum from the Peace Conference to
the German Government demanding
elimination of the provision of the Ger
man Constitution providing for Austrian
representation in the German Reichs-
rath was made public to-day at the
State Department.
1t asserts that in ordering an extern
sion Of their occupation on the right bank
Of the Rhine In event the demand is not
complied with within fifteen days from
Governments will not pledge themselves
not to take further measures to force
compliance with the terms of the peace
treaty.
A summary OF the ultimatum was con-
tained in press dispatches from Paris
September 2. The full text follows:
The allied and associated Powers
have noted the German constitution,
August II, 1919, and have noted that the
provisions of the second paragraph. Ar
ticle 81. constitute a formal violation of
Article 80 of the peace treaty signed at
Versailles June rs, 1919.
This violation paragraph /. Article
CD by stipulating the admission of Aus
tria to the Reichstag assimilates this re-
public to the German lands (Deutscher
Lander), which compose the German
Empire, the assimilation of which Is in
compatible with the independence Of
Austria paragraph %. By admitting
and regulating the participation of Aus
tTia In the imperial council the article
creates a political bond and political &C
ton common to Germany and Austria in
absolute contradiction with the inde-
pendence of the latter.
Consequently the allied and asso-
ciated Powers, after having reminded
the German Government that Article
17S Of the German Constitution declares
provisions of the treaty of Versailles
cannot be affected by the Constitution
request the German Government to take
due measures to suppress this violation
Immediately by declaring the second
paragraph Of Article 81 null and void.
without pledging themselves not to
take further measures in case of re-
fusal and by virtue of the treaty (not-
ably of Article 42SD. the allied and
associated Powers declare to the Ger
man Government that violation Of It's
pledges on essential points constrains
them, II their just demand is not COM
piled with within fifteen days from the
present time, to order at once an ex-
tension of their occupation on the right
bank OF the Rhine"

CAYELL SLAYER
SENTENCED TO DIE
Quien Had Been Befriendcd by

Germans.
GUILTY ALSO OF TREASON
Paris Court-Martial Deliber-
ates Only As Minutes
Reaching Verdict.

PARIS, Sept. 5.-Georges CASTOR
ouien. on trial before a court-martial
charged with having had reasonable
dealings with the Germans and of hav-
Ing betrayed Edith Cavell to them. was
to-day convicted and condemned to
death.
M. D'Armon, counsel 6cS cruien, oc-
cupied all of sss last session of the
court-mzrdal with an eloquent plea on
behalf of his client. He endeavored to
show that the name of Miss Cavell and
the tremendous sensation created by her
execution had Influenced tho public
opinion against Quien, and said that too
may names and too many hypothesis a.
to the identity of the person who de-
bounced Miss Cavell had been launched
to permit of the possibility of absolute
certainty that QUEEN was guilty as
charged.
The advocate severely condemned
former Emperor William for permitting
the crime against Miss Cavell and the
German officers for committing It. He
was certain, he said, that the conviction
OF Quien would be an error OF justice.
in the reparation of which he would
concentrate all his force.
The court-martial delberated Tor
three-quarters of an hour and then rem
dered its Judgment, condemning Quien
to death.
Georges CASTOR Quien, who when the
war began was serving a jail sentence
in st. Quentin In connection with an
espionage case unearthed at Versailles
in 1913, was liberated by the Germans
when they took the town. He was ar
rested early in 1919 by the French
authorities, who charged that after his
release from the st. Quentin Jail he
went to Prince and Princess Croy In
Belgium and later denounced them to
the German officials of occupation as
having aided French prisoners Of war
to escape. The Princess, in conse-
quence, was condemned to ten years
imprisonment at hard labor.
Quien Is then said to have gone to
Brussels, where he went into the hos
pital service Of Edith Cavell, the Eng
lish nurse. The indictment against
Quien charged that after having OBJ
tanned funds and help from Miss Cavell,
Quien went to Holland and returned to
Brussels as q German agent and be-
trayed her to the German commandant.
Quien denied all these allegations at
his trial.
During the taking of evidence other
women testified that Quien had be-
trayed them to the Germans.
