He said his withdrawal from the fight would conduce to democratic harmony and would accord with his in- dividua1 plans, which would not permit him. during the remainder of the year, to undertake the work of minority leader which deyolved upon him with the retirement from the senate of the late Senator Martin of Virginia.
 Breaks Long Standing Deadlock
 The withdrawal of the Nebraska sen- ator breaks the deadlock which de- yeloped at the party conference Janu ary 15, when the first effort was made to select successor to Senator Martin.
 "I now desire to terminate this dead lock-" wrote Senator Hitchcock, "and hereby withdraw my name from the contest This will conduce to demo- cratic harmony and will accord with my individual plans which will not per- year. to undertake such continuous service in the senate as I have had dur ing the past 12 months.
 The year during which I have acted as democratic leader has been one of responsibility and difficulty, but one of pleasure also, because of the considera- ton shown me by my party colleagues. whether they agreed with me or not.
 II desire particularly to thank those W and to say to all that I shall be glad. in resuming my position as vice chair man, to cooperate as heretofore with the chosen leader
 Other Plans Bring Retirement
 Senator Hitchcocl1's friends explained the presidential. campaign would take the senator away from Washington at frequent intervals and that aside from this he would make frequent visits to his summer home in Massachusetts and consequently would not desire the re- sponsibility of minority leadership.
 Senator Hitchcock has been the dem ocratic leader throughout the long peace treaty fight and it was explicitly stated at the White House and by Sem ator Underwood that irrespective of the outcome of the election for leadership. he would continue as the administra- ton spokesman should the treaty fight be renewed.

 A provisional president for Mexico is to be appointed "as soon as the pres ent plan has been accepted by the majority of the people of Mexico and the city of Mexico occupied by the liberal constitutional army"
 The revolutionary soldiers are to be } known as the 'libertl constitutionalistr known as the liberal constituCionalist'' party was the one espousing the cause of General Alvaro Obregon for the presidency of Mexico.
 Chief interest to foreigners is found in the last article of the plan. which said:
 Guarantee Protection To Foreianers
 "The supreme commander of the
 liberal ccnstituticnalist army and
 all civil and military authorities
 who support this movement, will
 afford all legal protection and en-
 forcement or their legal rights to
 all citizens and foreigners, and will
 especially favor the development
 of all industries. commerce and
 business in general"
 The plan of Agua Prieta" declares for effective suffrage and no reelec- tion.

LAKE FREIGHTERS GET
GRAIN TO MARKETS

Chicago AS results of ndEaA-
tageous lake freight rates now in 81
feet on grain. President J. r. Howard
of the American Farm Bureau FEEDER
alton predicted here recently a sub
stantial measure of relief from the
car shortage in the middle west
areatr ability Of farmers to get grain
to market improved shipping from a
number OF lake ports, and slightly
tower prices on grain in the east and
for exbOrt than otherwise would have
been the case.
He said he thought there was SUI
icient shipping available TO handle all
grain hat farmers offered for Lake
transport.
The difterenial on lake and rail
shipments from Chicago TO New YORK.
President Howard estimated, amounts
to about -. to "a cents per bushei
on wheat and corn. and y to a cents
per bushel on oats, in favor Of lake
and rail shipments over all-rail ship
ments
The normal thing, he said would
be- for the saving to be shared be
tween producer and consumer,
1.-The railroads at Chicago Mr.
Howard said, have secured for us a
statement of exactly what the new
rates will be from Buffalo to New
York They are as follows:
.Domestic-W Wheat 2l,l7; rye, l.29i
oats, 20G3; barley, 2l0S, corn, 2l.29
"Export--1N heat, z0.l7; rye, 1899;
oats, 1868, barley. zoos, corn, 1919
THE domestic rates to Philadelphia
and Baltimore will be the same The
export rates to Philadelphia aud Balti
more will be " cent under the NeN
York rate. The export rates to Bos
ton will be the same as the Nea
York rate.
1T is hoped tina. these new rates
viii result in the immediate RESUME
ton Of increased lake shipping and
thus release thousands of freight cars
needed in other places.
This should benefit not only many
farmers who have not been able 10
get their grain TO market and in some
cases have not been able even 10
store it for lack of facilities, but il
should benefit the country as a whole
through measurably relieving the
freight congestion.
Tho trouble as regards rail con-
gestion and grain rates has laid in a
great measure between Chicago AMI
Buffalo, Employment Of the lake for
this section OF the trip to the Atlantic
seaboafd should do much to clear up
the difficulties.
These date back largely to the pas
sage Of the Lafollette bill a half dozen
years ago requiring the railroads to
dispose of their lake vessels When
the railroads parted with their lake
business they at once took means to
get il back.
They were largely able to accom-,
plish this so far as grain was con-
cerned by charging a smaller rail rate
between Chicago and Buffalo than
the water rate. This, of course. drove
shipments OF grain off the lake and
onto the railroad track, for no one
would prefer to pay more to ship by
water to Buffalo than by rail,
What the railroads lost by cutting
the rate from Chicago to Buffalo for
1t was service at less than cost they
made up by boosting the rae from
Buffalo to New York. Whereas the
