WET WAVE IN
THE BAHAMAS
FLOOD OF LIQUOR BRINGS PROS.
PERITY TO ISLANDS.

Nassau, Bahama Islands, Feb. 10.
Prohibition in the United States,
which caused enormous quantities of
liquor to descend almost like an ava
lanche upon this city, has transformed
the Bahama governments financial
condition as if by magic from a de-
ficit to a comparatively huge surplus,
provided labor for large numbers of
unemployed and put more money in
circulation in this little British colony
than has been the case for many
years. Sir William L. Allardyce, gov
ernor of the colony. made this known
officially yesterday in an address for
mally opening the 1920 session of the
Bahama legislature.
Half a dozen vessels brought full
cargoes of wines and liquors. and du-
ties from them have restored the Ba-
hama governments fallen fortune,
due to the war, from deficit to a
surplus three times as large as the
expelled debt of about $555,O0O. The
years revenue Is figured at $685.
900 and the expenditure at $53O,OOO.
In addition a surplus OF 100000
yearly during the next two years at
least is expected from duties when
the liquors are taken out of bond.

REPUBLICANS REFUSE TO MAKE
CONCESSIONS ON ARTICLE 10
OF RESERVATION.

Washington, Feb. 19.-The peace
treaty compromise negotiations got
into such tangled state that despite
claims in some quarters that the lines
on both sides were weakening, the
treaty's best friends in the senate
minimized the possibilities of agree
ment.
"It looks as though we might come
out at the same hole we went in,''
said Senator Hitchcock, the demo-
cratic leader, after another effort to
obtain republican aid in modifying
the article 10 reservation adopted at
the last session of congress. He add
ed that the republicans apparently
had rejected all compromise propos-
ais on the subject and that he was
certain the treaty never could be rati-
fled unless they did compromise.
Forty democrats had been pledged
tonight for the alternate article 10
reservations presented by Senator
Hitchcock and he said hoped eventu-
ally to have the support of one or
two more. 1t would take 40 votes to
make up the simple majority neces-
sary to substitute one of these reser-
vations for the republican draft, and
to the seven or more republican votes
required for this operation Is more
would have to be added to insure
final ratification by two-thirds vote
The senate made no progress to-
day toward vote on the first of the
proposed notifications in the repub-
lican reservations, the entire day
being occupied by debate on other
features of the treaty.

PEACE TREATY
IN CAMPAIGN
THIS Is THE BELIEF OF SENATOR
HITCHCOCK, DEMOCRATIC
LEADER.

Washington, Feb. 19.-The peace
treaty is sure to go into the campaign
in the belief of Senator Hitchcock,
democratic leader. He said today:
From present indications 1 expect
the treaty will be in the campaign"
Hitchcock declared he views the
injection of the pact into the coming
political fight with compcsure. The
possibility that President Wilson
might take the treaty out of politics
by withdrawing it from the senate
and pigeonholing it is considered by
the senate democrats to be quite as
remote as that Senator Lodge might
surrender on article 10.
Indications tody were that the SEN
ate will not spend much more time
on the treaty. The illness of Senator
Lodge may prevent further discussion
of it this week. Should Lodge be alb
sent and the treaty lie dormant, it is
almost certain that it will be replaced
next Monday or early next week by
the conference report on the railroad
bill. If the treaty is sidetracked
in favor of something else it may not
be revived, at least not until pres
sing appropriation legislation of this
session is disposed of.

LOWER MEAT PRICES
CERTAIN TO RESULT
RESUMPTION OF MEAT PRODUC
TION IN OTHER COUNTRIES.

Chicago, Feb. 19.-Lower prices
for meat in the near future was pre-
dicted by the American Institute of
Meat Packers. Resumption of pre-
war meat Industries in foreign coun-
tries and the low rates of foreign ex-
change will force the prices down, the
institute declared in a statement is
sued here.
AS an example of conditions in
Europe, the institute cited the fact
that England now had on hand a
seven months supply Of bacon, as q
result American bacon, which fromer-
ly was exported to the British Isles,
must find a market in this country.
E. A. Cudahy, Jr., director of the
institute. stated "lower prices were
inevitable" He said just how soon
prices will drop depends on the live
stock supply.

END To MEXICAN
TROUBLES FORECAST
PREDICTS ERA OF PEACE BE-
GINNING in 1921.

New York, Feb. 19.-Disordered
conditions existing in Mexico will end
in 1921, according to a statement
made by Gen. Salvatore Alvarado,
founder and publisher of Ell Herala-
dode Mexico and Ell Herlado Semafl-
ario. of Mexico City. Gen. Alvarado
Is here buying modern printing ma
chinery for his newspapers.
He declared that the disorders
would end because there is a power
full current of opinion throughout the
country toward peace reorganiza-
tion." If the vote in the Mexican
presidential election next July is re-
spected, he said, Gin this same year
an era Of peace and work will begin
eliminating the main source of trou-
BILE between the United States and
Mexico" Conditions point to the cleo
tion Of Gen. Obregon as president, he
asserted.
Promotion of friendly relations be-
tween the two countries, he said, de-
pended broadly upon a better mutual
understanding of the aspirations,
needs and conceptions of each people
mo one doubts that the United
States possesses material strength
enough to occupy Mexican territory"
he said, "but it never will conquer by
that means the hearts and good will
of that people. Besides, large army
of occupation and the consequent
waste of lives and money, the United
States would face the terrible prob
lem of assimiliating 10000, 900 rebels
who would hate with all their hearts
their oppressors.
'The only policy for the United
States to follow is that of frank CO.
operation with its southern neighbor,
so that they may solve their two great
fundamental problems: First, organ
ization of production to attain the
best results from their natural re-
sources; second, education, so as to
obtain greater conservation and the
uplifting of human resources.
ION the other hand, it is the duty
of Mexicans in this task of the bet
terment of our relations with the
United States and all the friendly ma
ti0ns to establish a government of en-
lightened and progressive men, able
to interpret the true meaning OF
events"

GrOnna Bill
Will Not Pass

Washington, Feb. 19.-Since the
senate agricultural committee voted
a favorable report on the Gronna bill
to abolish grain corporations, 50
much opposition has developed from
bankers. millers and grain dealers
that the passage of the bill is not ex-
pected, committee members said to-
day. They are confident, however
that the measure meets approval of
the rank and file of the farmers.

MERGER OF RAIL-
ROADS IS SEEN
G. n, N. p, AND G. B. & Q. WILL
BE CONSOLIDATED.

st. Paul, Minn., Feb. 19.-Merger
OF the Great Northern, Northern Pa
cific and Burlington railroads into
one great transcontinental system
shortly after governmental control is
relinquished is forecast in high rail-
road circles here. 1t is reported that
the merger is being planned along
lines conceived by the late James j.
Hill.
The merger was actually completed
by James j. Hill when he was in con-
troll of the roads but it was dissolved
because it is understood, the federal
government regarded the combina-
tion as illegal. 1t is claimed that Leg
islation before congress and the pres
ent government attitude would not
prohibit the merger
The three roads have a combined
mileage of $1,000. 1t has been stat
ed here that the reason for the mer-
ger is to take care of 100000, 900
in Burlington bonds which fall due in
1921.

Chicago, Feb. 19.-The merger of
the Great Northern, Northern Pacific
and Burlington railroads, planned
years ago by the late James J. Hill, is
entirely dependent upon passage of
legislation now before congress which
would remove the legal restrictions
placed by the Sherman law, a high Of
fetal of the Burlington system said
here.
The plan, postponed when Mr.. Hill
found it impossible to carry 1t out,
has never been entirely dropped, it
was indicated. The proposed merger
would give the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific direct entry into
Chicago and create a through trans
continental system reaching to the
Pacific coast and to Vancouver, Can
ada.
