Mexico Refuses to
 Enter Exhibit at
 Texas State Fair

AUSTIN, Tex, Sept. 26.-1n- connec- tion with published statements that as a result of his Fl Paso speech in favor of intervention, Mexico, has can- cefled acceptance of an invitation to have a display at the Texas state fair at Dallas and abandoned a proposed trade excursion of Mexican merchants through Texas, Gov. w. P' Hobby is- sued a statement tonight which said in part:
 'It is better for Texas and for the state fair that the present Mexican government will not make such a dis play as it is claimed it was intending to make at Dallas" the governor said. "It might, however, make a display of a good many things which would be of considerable interest in Texas. One of them would be disposition to treat Americans fairly and decently. There might be an American flag bespattered with the indignities cast upon it by the Mexican government through
 these many years, and photographs Of the hundreds of American graves which are scattered through out the country. There might be a fac-simile Of the heaps of American gold which have been paid for the ransom of Americans held as prisoners.

 President Gompers condemned un- sparingly civic authorities in the western Pennsylvania steel centers and repeated many of the charges made before the committee yester- day by John Fitzpatrick, chairman of the strikers con1mittee
 "Whatever helps the corporation against the workers. that the author itieu of Pennsylvania would be found doing" Kr. Gompers said at one noint.

SEN. JOHNSON TO START FUR
 HOME STATE
Opponent of League to Tear Pact to Pieces Before Aud fences in Six States; Re- sents Williams References

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-Senator Johnson, Republican, of California, speaking in the senate today, sharply resented a statement by Senator Williams, Democrat, of Mississippi, that he was returning to California to continue his attack on the presi- dent and to mend his political fences.
 q understand that the senator from Mississippi Is unable to compreheno adequately my motives" said Sena- tor Johnson, "but I am going to Cali fOrnia, and to all the other states can reach, not to mend political fences, but because of the great op. timism I have in the common people of this land, and the certainty that when they hear the story of the league of nations they will respond as Americans, and demand that it safeguard their interests
 Senator Johnson said he was going to California, Nevada, Oregon, Wash ington, Utah and Colorado, if he had time.
 q returned from Minneapolis" MT. Johnson said, in conclusion, ito en- deavor to present what is in my mind. on this amendment in the hope that l would be able to get a vote on it. l have found after consultation, not on one side, but on both, that it is impossible, that 1t is relegated to the end of the entire debate Now I am going to start where I left off at Min neapolis.'
 Faint Applause.
 There was faint start of hand clapping when Senator Johnson con- cluded. Senator Williams immedi- ately replied, denying that Great Britain had six votes in the league. He declared she had but one and that the British colonies had one each, and that they were "self-governing commonwealths."
 Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho, asked if India was so governed. When Senator Williams started to reply spectators in the galleries broke into laughter and drew a sharp rebuke from Vice President Marshall. He ordered all persons elected who par ticipated in the demonstration and declared emphatically that the sen ate rule must be enforced or abro- gated.
 Senator Williams replied that, as usual, the galleries apparently were packed" and said if applause of the debate continued it would not be long before the galleries twill be putting motions as they did in the French revolution"
 Wilson Explained.
 Senator Williams declared the president had answered fully every point raised by Senator Johnson and everybody else.
 Former President Taft had pro- posed an amendment, he said, that self-governing dominions should not have membership in the council and

Storage of Meats Is Not PrOfiteering"
 US. Attorney Says

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-Attorney General Palmer today ruled that storage of the usual seasonal re. Quirements of meats" is permissible and does not constitute hoarding, and said that the department had no intention of prosecuting in such cases.
 MT. Palmer's letter resulted from conference yesterday with a dele gation of livestock raisers from Kan sas who told him that the packers had curtailed the buying of live stock on the ground that they might be prosecuted if they stored large quantities of meat.
 Nothing that the department of Justice has so far done and no views which they have announced here offer any Justification for such an excuse on the part of the packers" :" Mir. Palmer wrote.
 Tt ought to be unnecessary for me to say that there is no inten- tion whatever on the part of the government to attempt to construe as hoarding any storage of food stuffs which is not in excess of the requirements of the bus mess or reasonably necessary as against the period of scant or no production as defined in the act"

DISCUSSION OF PEACE TREATY OCCUPIES SENATE'S TIME BUT MI
 VOTE TAKEN ON AMENDMENTS
Senator Lodge Calls Up Pact Two Hours Ahead of the Schedule Big Crowd in Galleries Listen to Numerous Debates, But Heeds Omnous Warnings and Do Not Applaud; Johnson and Williams Clash Over League Fight

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-The German peace treaty got nearly six hours of speeding up in the senate today, but without reaching the Fall amendments, which had been made the special order of business by a strict party vote earlier in the week.
 Chairman Lodge of the foreign re- lations committee called up the pact two hours ahead of the regular sched- ule, and from that tj>ae until ad- journment it was discussed continu- ously, with a big crowd looking on from the galleries and af/aid to cheer because of ominous warnings from guards with orders to eject those who made a noise with hands or feet.
 Just before the discussion started with an address by Senator Cum mins, Republican, of Ohio, attacking the league of nations covenant, Re publicans and Democrats alike had heard reports that the president, on his way home from his western speaking trip, would be advised Mon, day, perhaps, by some Democratic leaders that there was no hope of AotiJ hS ChS iSdly WlIHOuI TeSerVd- tions- There was no reference, how ever. in the long debate. to the pres-- dents cancellation of his speaking program.
 Begin Consideration.
 After a colloquy between Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, in charge of the administration forces, and Sena- tor Lodge, concerning methods of procedure relating to the Fall amend ments, which would exempt tue United States from representation on foreign commissions created under ehe treaty, reading of that part of the printed text taking in the last of the 32 amendments was ordered.

DEMANDS OF
 MIAMI MINERS ARE DENIED

GLOBE, Ariz., Sept. 26.-Federai Mediator Hywel Davies. in a report to the grievance committee of the Globe-Miami district, denied the re quest of the shelter cranemen for an additional wage increase of 25 cents per day at this time.
 In making his award MT. Davies stated that the wage scale of July 16, 1919, will not be changed, but promises an additional increase of 2t cents when copper sells at 26 cents per pound. The present sliding scale is based on A cent copper.
 MT. Davies states that the addition al wage increase given skilled miners and mechanics on July 16. 1919, is based on the law of supply and de mand and to attract skilled mechan ics to the mining industry" The mining companies have agreed to helr employees reduce living costs by ar ranging for purchase dividends or purchases made at the company stores.
 MT. Davies stated that the 75 cent increase given July 16, 1919, was not the result of any boom on, the copper market, but was voluntarily given by the mining companies to help offset the increased living costs.
 The sliding scale allows for 12 1-2 cent change in the daily wage fol each cent of change in the copper market.

reading never started. Senator Hitch cock had contended that tbe agree ment was to vote on the amendments today, but calling for the record. Sen ator Loge and others showed only consideration was to begin today, and Tn order to save time it was further agreed to get through with the read ing before opening the debate.
 Senator Williams, Democrat. of Mississippi, coming late into the chamber, asked permission to put into the record pertain documents sent to him from California concern ing Senator Johnson's fight against the league of nations. Senator Will jams had just remarked that Senator Johnson was returning to California to continue his attack on the presi- dent and to Zbk after his political fences when the latter walked down the aisle with fire in his eye.
 Johnson and Williams Clash.
 That opened the floodgates of ora tory, and the senate never got down to it's reading. Vice President Mar shall announced, however. that the business before the senAte was the Fall amendments, which would come up automatically every day at o'clock or earlier, and while he did not expect the debate to deal solely with this matter, the amendments would remain the order of business until disposed of finally.
 Senator Johnson. who started to- night for California, pleaded for adop- tion of his amendment to the lehgue covenant which would give the United States the same voting power as Great Britain, and declared that he was going among the people to point out to them that the pact was an af- front to the patriotism of the Ameri- can people.

 Conditions were appalling" Repre- sentative Bland said as soon as the steamer docked. Nothing like this treatment of four men had ever been known before in the history of the American army.

 Representative Bland aeld that Colonel Grinstead and General Strong were directly responsible for the "un- precedented cruelty at Prison Farm 2, and that if General Strong, who was over Colonel Grinstead, did not know of conditions he should have.
 He said that General Hartz for months was in the same buildings at 10 Rue St. Anne, where thousands of outrages were committed. Lack of food, heat and air. and nauseating sanitary conditions were before his eyes, and the reports showing these conditions were on file in his office, MT. Bland said.
 The representative added that General Hartz was the military guar dian of the president and mo man in the fudge advocate generals or provost marshaIs departments had the boldness to recommend his trial before a court martial or efficiency board"
