Helena. July 27.-The Montana rail-

to all wool growers in Montana. urg-
ing attendance upon the hearings to
be held in Helena on August 19 by the
interstate commerce commission to in
quire into the matter of the appica ton
of the carriers to put into force re-
duced rate of $1.35 per cwt. on wool
in the grease from North Pacific coast
terminals to eastern markets.
The Montana commission asks all
growers to submit with the data they
may have in their possession on the
matter of rates.
The carriers base their application
for the proposed reduction upon the
competition with steamer lines operat-
ing through the Panama canal. Accord
ing to the letter of the Montana COM
mission, the carriers at the same time
aver that the present rates at in
termediate points are not higher than
reasonable rates."
The board says in its letter that it
is firmly of the opinion that there is
no ground for argument in favor Of
lower rates ON the same commodity
for the entire haul from Seattle to
Boston than from Helena to Boston.
even though the Seattle rate is predi-

In order to insure the success OF

The American memorandum deliver
ed July % follows:
Ihe government of the United
States deeply appreciates the readiness
Of the Imperial Japanese government
to accept the invitation to attend the
conference on the limitation of arma-
ments.
THE secretary of state of the United
States in the course of informal con-
versations with his excellency, the i'm
perlal ambassador at Washington, has
expressed the hope that the imperial
government would not press its in
qtury as to the nature and scope Of
the Pacific and Far Eastern problems
to be discussed at the proposed con-
ference in view Of the fact that it is
desirable that the full acceptance of
the invitation of the American govern
ment leave this matter open for ad-
justment in the precise agenda to be
arrived at later.
The secretary of state is willing to
proceed with exchanges of opinion re-
garding the agenda prior to the meet
ing of the conference. He considers
inadvisable, however, at the present
moment to hamper the program and in
particular to delay the arrangements

PROMINENT BUSINESS
MEN CALLED BEFORE
SENATE COMMITTEE
American Valuation Provisions
of Fordney Tariff Bill
Argued Pro and Con.

Washington, July 27.-Views of bus
mess men on the American valuation
provisions in the Fordney tariff bill
were given the senate finance commit
tee Wednesday and support and con-
demnation of the plan came alternately
The days testimony marked sharply
the line between the domestic manu-
facturer and the importer, the former
supporting and the latter denouncing
the proposition to change the basis of
duties assessment.
The committee was told by Jacob
De Jong, New York manufacturer,
that on the basis of last years i'm
ports less than one billion dollars
worth of the commodities brought in
would be materially affected.
America Sets Price.
Sugar, raw silk, hides, unmanufact-
ured rubber and wool were cited as
commodities whose American valuation
is approximately the world valuation.
Mr.. De Jong contended that these i'm
ports would bear duties only slightly
higher under the American valuation
than under the present system of levy
ing taxes on the foreign price.
Eddy Gives Views.
Thomas II. Eddy, of Marshall Field
and company, Chicago, declared tnat
the domestic valuation plans would de-
stroy, partially at least, the importing
business because Of the uncertainty
which would follow its application. He
told the committee that the methods Of
determining value required by the bill
meant that one mans opinion would es-
tablish the tariff rates, and so far as
his firm was concerned, would mean
that all appraisals would be appealed
for settlement to customs boards or
the courts.
Would Not Change Schedule.
Embroidery importers, Thomas N.
Mulane, of New York, representing 15
firms declared, would suffer mater
tally from the lack Of knowledge as to
what their American selling price would
be under the domestic plan of assess
ing duties. He urged the committee
to discard the suggested changes,

Medical Beer Rules
Will Be Announced
Within Short Time

Washington, July 27.-Announce-

sioner Blair of his policy on the ques-
ton of medicinal beer regulations will
be made in the next few days.
The commissioner is also working
out the final form the beer regula-
tions might take, which, it is under
stood. would provide in general for
prescriptions of one case at a time,
but without limit as to the number Of
prescriptions.
According to Prohibition Commis-
sioner Haynes, however, the probable
ity of the eventual issuance of beer
regulations is slight. There was ap-
parently little desire on the part of
the brewers, he said, to obtain the
regulations in view of the pending
