STUMBLING BLOCKS
 CONTINUE IN PATH
 0F TARIFF MEASURE
Opponents Hope Bill Will Be Killed In Conference or Fili- buStered to Death on
 Senate Floor
By Associated Press

Washington, January 4.-Stumbling blocks which the Fordney Emergency Tariff bill has encountered since reach ing the Senate continued today to rise up in it's pathway. The chief of these appeared in the decision of the Senate finance committee in a stormy executive session to hold hearings on the measure.
 Advocates of the tariff measure be- lieved the. opponents hoped the commit tees action would mean the death of the bill, Senator Shoot, republican, of Utah, was understood to have told the committee the move would cause the bill either to be killed in conference or "fil- ibustered to death on the Senate floor. z The projected hearings will begin Thurs day and continue until next Tuesday and will be followed also ny decision of the committee today, by hearings on the sol- dier compensation bill
 The finance comittee meeting today was the first over which Senator Pen rose, it's chairman, had presided in more than 13 months. An attempt by Senator Simmons, democrat, North Carohna, to postpone indefinitely action on the tariff bilI developed the first clash. The mo- ton lost, however by two democrats. Senators Nugent of Idaho and Jones of New Mexico. Joining the repnblicans.
 SHARP WORDS USED
 The question of holding open hearings, committee members reported. brought on second vote and exchanges in which sharp words. were used. The motion to open the hearings was made by Sen ator Gerry, democrat, Rhode Island. and it was given the support of all the dem ocrat members in addition to Chairman Penrose, who was joined by another re- publican leader. Calder. of New York
 Senator Penrose after the meeting is- sued a statement in which he said that both the Soldier bonus and tariff meas ures, undoubtedly would be reported to the Senate He declined. however to offer prediction as to what action would be taken in the Senate. but op- ponents of the tariff bill were confident that it never would become law.
 One of the first of the many expected efforts to change rates carried in the House bill was indicated during the day in the presentation in the Senate by Sem ator Spencer. republican. Missouri. of a substitute for House tariffs on zinc and zinc products. The substitute would place import duties of 1h cents pound on zinc ores containing under g per cent of metal: two cents per pound on ores containing more than 25 per cent zinc; two cets on zinc in blocks; or other bulky forms: and 21z cents on zinc sheets.

Cuban Minister Enters Protest Against Sending Crowder for Conference With Presi-
 dent MenocaI
By Associated Press

Washington, January 4-AsSurances that the United States is not contcnl- plating military intervention in Cuba were given today to the Cuban minis ter by Acting Secretary Davis. it was said at the state department.
 The minister, Dr. Carlos Manuel de Cespedes, was said to have entered no protest from his government against the sending of Major General Crowder to Cuba to confer with President MenocaI relative to the general situation in the island republic. The minister, after his call, however, expressed some slight ou- jection to tho action of the American government declaring that neither his at titude nor that of his government, as set forth in a recent statement by him, had been altered In that statement the min- ister had asserted that there were no grounds for the supervision of elections
 Secretary Davis discussed with Presi- dent Wilson the Cuban situation and the mission of q sneral Crowder just before the minister called at the department The secretary told Dr. Cespedes there was little he could add to the President statement relative to the work General Crowder is expected to accomplish ln Cuba; adding that he had confidence Ill the ability of the Cuban authorities and General Crowder to work out satstac- tory solution of the present political and financial difficulties.
 FEARS INTERVENTION
 Minister Cespedes made 1t clear that his main purpose in calling on Stere- tary Davis was to obtain more infor- ma ation regarding the sending of an American to Cuban on mission of the nature of General Crowder's, but it IS understood that in his discussion of the matter with MT. Davis he did not at tempt to conceal his apprehension that the action would be construed as step preliminary to intervention. He was as sured that neither intervention nor the supervision of elections was contem- plated, but it was made plain to him that the United States considered the economic, political and financial situa- tions had reached the point in Cuba where the United States regarded the whole situation as one warranting the friendly offer of assistance
 President MenocaIs term of office ex- pires May 70. There appears now probability that unless special steps are taken the official selection of his sue cessor will rot be determined by that time, and it was asserted in that event a situation would be created that wou,i prove exceedingly embarrassing for both governments. The congestion of freight on the docks at Havana, the extension ot the moratorium and the demand For money with which to finance the sugar crop have resulted, it was explained here today, in making the Cuban situa- tion of unusual interest for American business concerns.
 Secretary Davis is understood to have pointed out to the minister, after citing to him the difficulties that have devei- oped, that back of it all is the political tangle, which the United States believes General Crowder will be able to un- tangle.

PACKERS WARNED
 COURT MAY TAKE
 OVER ST0CKYARDS
All Proposals. Advanced for Dis posing of Stockyard Inter- eStS Rejected By Jus.
 tice Stafford
By Associated Press

Washington, January 4.-An pfo- posals thus far advanced by the "big five" meat packers for dives ing themselves of their stockyrad inter |ests were rejected today by Justice Stafford in the district supreme court. The companies were given 30 days in which to submit new plans.
 At the same time the court warned that unless the defendants proposed plans that would meet requirements outlined. it would feel obliged to ap- point officers to take title to all the stock (of the stock yards) in question and to. hold the same, subject to Inc order of the court until suitable ag.ee- ments can be made to have it disposed of in accordance with the terms and purposes of the decree" agreed upon between the packers and the go ys-n> ment more than year ago.
 |, In formal statement regarding the courts decision, the department of justice interpreted this as meaning that if the packers did not divorec themselves from the stock yards. the court would do it for them"
 CAN'T APPROVE CONSOLIDATION
 Justice Stafford said that ito faeili- tate future progress it is considered best to state here that the court can not see it's way to approve any plan for the consolidation of the yards, whether by holding company or oth- erwise."
 Such a plan had been submitted by Swift and Armour. which companies had proposed that the holding com pany be organized by F. H. Prince & Co.,, Boston bankers. The government opposed this plan.
 Any plans to be acceptable," con tinued Justice Stafford's opinion. must provide for an early and som plete investment by the defendants of all the obnoxious holdings.
 If any delay is to De allowed in the actual divestment under the ,.,ans that may be proposed. such plans must provide for complete control by the court in the meantiuA of ali such stocks and must leavaAthe matter in the hand of the court in such wise that the plan itself may be terminated at any time. if the court shall deter> mine that the defendants are not nro ceeding hereunder with promp.ness and vigor."
 Because of the peculiar circ,m- stances" at the Crescent City. Illinois stock yard, the court allowed six months for the filing of plan for 6is- |posing of those yards.
