SUGAR BOARD IS
SAVEDBY WILSON
Signs McNary Bill Con
tinuing Body Another
Year

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-Presi-
dent Wilson attached his signature
before midnight last night to the Nc
Nary bill continuing the Sugar Equal
ization Board another year, it was
announced at the White House to-
day. In making the announcement
Secretary Tumulty said:
"The bill confers discretion on the
President in the matter of purchas-
ing sugar from Cuba. 1t is doubt
full whether it will be practicable
or wise for the President to exercise
the power conferred. so far as the
purchase and distribution of sugar is
concerned"
Much Cuban sugar is coming in now
and indications are thct prices have
reached the peak and that there will
he tendency for prices to fail in
the next few weeks.

WILSON KEEPS OFF PRIMARY BALLOT
CITY OFFICERS
TOBE RENAMED.
TAXES REVISED
Special License Ordin-
ances To Be Enacted
Committees Named

City officers elective by the city
council will be chosen and a new
special license ordinance enacted at
the regular meeting of the city coun-
Gil tonight, the first of the new body
since its organization a week ago last
Monday night. In addition, Mayor
Sheppard will read the makeup of
council committees, the list of which
he gave out today, and which is pub
lished herewith.
The special license ordinance, pro-
viding city tax on many lines of
business and miscellaneous activities
operated for profit, has already been
revised by the council committee, and
it is said to contain large number of
revisions upward, most of the changes
for small amounts, however. One re-
port was that only two increases
amounted to as much as SIS. The
changes, however, are expected to in
crease the city's revenue by several
hundred dollars.
1t was stated today that probably
no changes would be made in the
present list of city officers elected by
the council.
The mayors list of committee ap-
pointments differs very slightly from
the old list. The name of R. E. Al
lison, who succeeded R. H. Horton
has been substituted for Mr.. Hor-
tons name in all committees, except
one, the public schools committee, of
which w. E. Taylor is made chairman
Mr.. Allison succeeds Mr.. Taylor as
chairamn of the streets and side
walks committee, Mr.. Tayolr retiring
at his own request as chairman, but
remaining member of the commit
tee.
Following is the personnel of the
various committees as announced by
Mayor Sheppard today:
Finance and Taxation-J. E. Poole,
chm; C. M. Burke, j. T. Warren.
Streets and Sidewalks.-R. E. AL
lson, chm; W. E. Taylor, H. B.

ENDORSED, BUT
FAILS TO FILE
HIS ISACCEPTANCE
{ outh Dakota Democrats
Await Course Of
Events

PIERRE, S. d., Jan. President
Wilson's name will not appear on
the March primary ballot of South
Dakota with the party endorsement,
according to announcement from the
secretary of states office today, be-
cause acceptance of the convention
endorsement has not been filed by the
President.
The formal announcement from
General Wood yesterday accepting
the Endorsement of the republican
state convention Of December 2, came
on the last day candidates for presi-
Dental endorsement were permitted
by law to file their acceptances.
Wood, Senator Hiram johnson,
Governor Lowden and Senator Poin-
dexter are avowed candidates for re-
publican Endorsement at the March
primary, all having filed in this state.
The democratic state convention in
dorsed President Wilson for third
time, ''if he decides to become a
candidate" No communication was
received from the President. James
w. Gerard, of New York, former
ambassador to Germany, filed his pc
tltion as an Independent candidate for
the democratic Endorsement.
There has not been great interest
in the democratic situation because
state leaders were agreed at the
convention ''to wait the natural
course of events"

TAFTLOOKED TO
AS MEDIATOR IN
PACT DEADLOCK
Senator's of Both Parties
Sign Petition To Ex-
President

WASHINGTON Jan. 1-Ex-Pres-
ident William H. Taft probably will
be asked within THE EssSSt Few days to
become sort of unofficial mediator
of the treaty of heace situation if
plans being formul Hated by many SEN
ators and other friends of the treaty
materialize.
A petition addressed to Taft is be-
ing circulated amtng the senators
asking him to comb to Washington to
address a non-partisan meeting, prob
ably at the Liberty Hut or some 9TH
er convenient place.
The meeting is la part of the plan
to get the Democrats and Republi-
cans who favor ratification of the
treaty to agree 9n plan of action
whereby the necessary 64 votes may
be obtained for ratification. Taft, it
is expected by those active in ar
ranging for the meeting, would be
able to offer al compromise that
will be acceptable to both sides.
So far, the movement to have Taft
come here is non partisan. Senators
Bankhead of Alabama, and King of
Utah, Democrats. and Senators Nell
son of Minnesota and McNary of
have signed pftition although the
have signed petition, although the
signers disclaim knowledge of the
contents of the petition which they
signed. ]
The fact that tsle petition was sign
ed by Senators King and Bankhead
is deeply signif fant to those who
have been following the treaty fight
closely. Bankhekd is the manager of
the campaign of Senator Underwood
of Alabama for the minority leader
ship and King is the manager Of the
boom of EenateF Hitchcock of Ne
braska for the sbrhe place.
That both BAnkhead and King
should sign is taken to indicate that
both Underwood and Hitchcock are
back of the mo Ee to bring Taft to
Washington.
Whether the democrats or Repub,
licans originate the move is not
known, but it is mot thought to make
any particular difference. About all
that Mr.. Taft has had to offer in solu-
tion of the treasy situation has ap-
peared from time to time on the front
page of a Washington newspaper
which prints MI. Taft's occasional
editorial of current problems.
Taft's last editorial was plea to
the Republicans Of the senate not to
ALLEVIATE from the party those Repub-
licans who are shcere friends of the
treaty of peace.

ARIES OWNERS
CANCEL SALES
Most of Them May Be
Confirmed, However,
Is Indication

At the conclusion of the sale at
auction of the Ia tracts Of the Aries
plantation yesterday announcement
was made by c. B. Lewis & Co., the
owners, that it would exercise its
right, reserved at the beginning of
the sale, to refuse to confirm any of
the sales. Today it was stated, how
ever, that the members of the firm
were in consultation and would be
prepared to announce final decision
within few hours, in all probability.
1t was indicated that there was more
than possibility that most of the
sales would be confirmed by the COM
pany.
The announcement was made that
the sales totalled $242,020 for the
nearly 2,100 acres or slightly
under $118 per acre. This was
a lower average than had been ex-
pected by the owners for the land,
and less, it was believed by many,
than could still be obtained at pri-
vate sale. The sale was put on by
the Southern Land Auction Com
pany, of AshevilIe, N. c., which
brought large staff of salesmen and
expert land men here for the occa-
sion. Chas. R. Moore, president of
this company, before leaving Amer
icus last night, asked the Times-Re-
corder to publish a brief statement
for him in explanation to set his
company right before the public.
81 do this" he said, "because I do
not want the public to think We did
noS do our part by the purchasers.
We expect to put on scne other
large sales in this community. and
desire to maintain bur reputation"

Mr.. Moore penned.

Business Anxious Over
Outlook, Says Review

WASHINGTON, Jan. American
business feels anxious over what the
future holds, the Federal Reserve
board announces in it's review of De-
cember business conditions. The con-
tinued advance in prices, reduction in
production and the high cost of liv-
ing are regarded as commercial
menace. Although retail business
showed great activity and wholesalers
are piled up with orders, the report
said the growth in business was in
terms of dollars and not in produl-
ton.
High pried labor refuses to work
regularly and demands short hours,
with consequent falling off in produc-
Ition, the report showed.
