ative action by other powers in ac-
cepting the reservations and allowing
them to accept by acQuiescence.
The second change proposed is
modification of the Article X reser-
vation to eliminate language objec-
tionable to President Wilso and the
democrats in the senate and to make
1t clear that the United States is not
trying to avoid any obligation which
it should accept.
The third is modification of the
Shantung reservation to make II less

5000 immigrants were clamoring to-
night for admission to the United
States.
immigration inspectors and special
boards Of inquiry are working day
and night to relieve the unprecedent-
ed conditions. In the meantime hun
dreds of friends and relatives of the
detained passengers from all over the
country are assembled here impa-
tiently awaiting the release of the
immigrants.
Police and coast guards are on
duty at the piers and the Ellis ferry
to hold the crowds. Several attempts
have been made by friends and rela-
tives of the detained passengers to
storm the piers in an effort to reach
the ships.
immigration officials claim that
their work is delayed to large ex-
tent on Ellis Island because of the
congestion there, due to the deten-
tion of large number of radicals and
undesirabies being held for deporta-
tion.
The greater number of the immi-
grants being detained are Italians, It
was stated. Several hundred Greek
passengers are also held.

TO PRESIDENT
ALLEGE COMPROMISE MADE
WITH PACKERS FAILS TO
GIVE THEM REDRESS.

of IL cattle growers associations

trust proceedings against the pack
ers, John Miller, of Fort Stockton,
Tex, president of the Pan Handle
Cattle association, announced today
The growers, Mr.. Miller said, sub
mitted to the president through Nc
Adoo a series of charges to the effect
that the compromise does not give
them any redress for their chief
grievance, which they allege. is the
control of stock yard markets by the
packers to the disadvantage of the
producers. They ask that the prose
cutions be taken out of the hands of
the attorney general and that new
suits be brought with Francis ]. He

According to Miller, the matter
was laid before the president last
week. ,, er.,. v.~a - -...y- >.
1--WE adopt the unusual course of
getting the matter before President
Wilson," Mr.. Miller said, because
we thought 1t unwise to put our con-
fidence at the disposal of the attor-
ney general, in view of his attitude
as demonstrated by the settlement
with the packers"
Mr.. Miller said that in addition to
several Texas cattle associations,
similar organizations In Colorado.

COMPLETE ERADICATION OF rC-
BERCULosIs Is PREDICTED.

Sioux City, Dec. 30.-Eradication
of tuberculosis from the swine and
cattle herds of Woodbury. county and
those of the northwest region is
promised by the results obtained by
Investigators of the department of
agriculture. Sioux City. is one of the
eight terminal markets at which ia
vorable statistics were gathered.
The data gathered Is based on the
postmortems held at { federally in
spected meat packing establishment
The statistical results are of much
importance to the Sioux City market.
Almost complete eradication of the
disease is anticipated within a few
months. according to the reports re-
ceived yesterday. ass
The percentage of animals con-
demned because Of tuberculosis was
81 for the year ended June 80, 1917.

ed to .38 per cent and III 1919 had

number Of cattle inspected In 1917 at
eight packing csnters Was Sse66,824.

herds declined aleng with the de-
crease of the disease among cattle.
