SEVEN STATES JOIN IN
BATTLE ON LIVING COSTS
Officials Feel That Good Results Will
Follow Visit of Governors to
National Capital

Washington, Aug. 3O.-New impetus
was given the governments campaign
to reduce the cost of living at con-
ferences here yesterday which assured
the closest cooperation between fed
eral and state authorities.
Six governors, Gardner, Missouri 4;
Milliken, Maine; Burnquist, Mime
sofa; Campbell, Arizona; Sproule,
Pennsylvania, and Cooper, South Car
DINA, and Lieutenant Governor Nc
Dowell of Montana. representing the
national conference of governors,
spent several hours studying the sit
uation with Attorney General Palmer
and then called at the White House
to offer President Wilson the full ma
chinery of the states in the effort
to restore normal price level.
As result, there was greater OPP
timism in the capital last night over
the outlook than has been evident in
many days. With the sar-reaching
state organizations carrying the mes
sage of economy and increased pro-
duction into every county and aiding
the federal authorities in bringing the
hoarders and profiteers TO book, of
ficials believed excellent results could
be obtained in the next 90 days, which
would avert the menace of transporta-
ton strikes to obtain higher pay.

ANXIETY is AGAIN FELT
FOR SAFETY OF AVlAT0RS

ceived From Mexican Authorities

San Diego, CAL, Aug. 30.-Anxiety
is felt by Rockwell field officers for
the safety of Lieutenants Waterhouse

Cattle and Hogs Lower.

Chicago, Aug. 29.-A drop of one
dollar hundred pounds on the aver
age for hogs, with lower prices fol-
beef cattle, at the stockyards yester
day was ascribed to several reasons
and partly to the general protest
aaginst the high cost of living. Market
men said the tendency was for still
lower hog prices, particularly after
the fall marketing, and they professed
to see break in high living costs.
The public has curtailed its buying
of pork and beef recently while live
stock receipts are large. The eastern
market failed to act as an emergency
outlet, and the packers virtually with
drew their buyers from the pens yes
terday. Export business has been de-
pressed by the foregn exchange sit
uation.
While the average drop for hogs
was one dollar, the difference between
lowest point and Tuesdays
high point was fully $1.5O, while the
average drop for beef cattle ranged
from so to 70 cents hundred pounds.
Sheep also sold lower.

TREATY CHANGES DELAYED
Foreign Relations Committee Unable
to Proceed With Proposed Amend
ments and Will Start Extended
Schedule Of Open Hearings

Washington, Aug. %. = Senate de-
bate on the peace treaty rose to the
bitterest point yesterday since the
document was presented by President
Wilson.
Facing at a distance of few feet,
| Senator FAN, Republican, New Mexico,
having just asserted that Senator Nc
Cumber, Republican, North Dakota,
had in his address Tuesday on Shan
tung, defended on the ground of justice
| the award to Japan of goods stolen
from China the North Dakota sena-
| tor declared the assertion was "un-
qualiifedly false" and that he had not
justified Germany's action.
This brought quick retort from
Senator Fall that Senator McCumber
had defended the Shantung provision
and had claimed that Japan had the
right to take Shantung. BY this time
both senator's had raised their voices
to high pitch and were pounding
their desks.
Senator McCumber, in replying,
shouted to Senator Fall that Japan de-
rived the right to Shantung under
solemn pledge to return it, "but you
leave that out of your statement" re-
ferring to the assertion regarding
Japan's unqualified right.
Previously, Senator Fall, who was
defending the action of the foreign
relations committee in adopting an
amendment to give German rights to-
Shantung to China instead of Japan,
was interrupted by Senator Nelson,
Republican, Minnesota. who declared
that if the committee had made "mince
meat" of the treaty, the senate would
brush the action aside. When Senator
Fall said he would enter into no dis
cussion with the Minnesota senator
because of the latter's age. Senator
Nelson responded that the senator
could consider him the youngest man
in the senate" and as one who was
neither in his second childhood in
this matter nor in the Mexican mat
ter"
Further defending the committees
vote on the Shantung amendment,
Senator Fall said lie was weary Of
some who wished to make the nation
accept the treaty 'just as it came from
the White House typewriter. with no
more consideration for the American
people than was shown the Germans
when they signed at the point of the
)ayonet."
The foreign relations committee in
/ meeting preceding the senate SEES
sion was unable to proceed with it's
of proposed amendments
md will begin today an extended
of open hearings.
Another development in the Shan
ung question was the beginning of an
Ittempt by the group of Republicans
Who have agreed on set of reserva-
ions to the league of nations cove
ant to begin movement to get to-
ether on reservation expressing the
enate's regret at the Shantung award
The reservation. which would be pro-
osed as substitute for the foreign
Citations committees amendment, will
e discussed at a conference of sew
raj Republicans today.
