the key to the vast yard was turn

The ceremony OF transferring the

Then he handed to Frederick Nor

The key was four feet long, made
in the Woodworking department OF

After receiving the thanks Of Mr..

Mr.. Brush from Admiral w. s. Ben

TRADE MART
Argentine Brokers Criti.
ciae Refusal to Post
Erain Quotations.

Blsnos Aires, Feb. 3.-Wheat fu-
lures have broken severely in the
Bolsa de Commercio here during
the last week, prices falling to the
equivalent of 30 cents per bushel
on 2 tremendous speculative turn
over equal to 100000 bushels per
day It Is asserted that Argentina
is beginning Its great annual crop
movement with q surplus for ex-
portation estimated at $500, 900 tons
of wheat, and that this country is
a dominating factor in the worlds
grain market.
The decision of the Chicago
Board of Trade on Wednesday to
discontinue the posting Of Argen-
tine grain quotations is character
lied by members Of the Bolsa as
equivalent to IAN ostrich hiding his
head in the sand" Many prominent
members agreed today it was i'm
possible for the Chicago board to
ignore Argentine quotations, for
they said if the board refused to
post them officially, grain firms in
the United States would be COM
PEELED to obtain the figures on their
own initiative.
Reference made on Wednesday by
J. p. Griffin, president of the Chi
cago board, to the alleged fact that
Argentina quotations did not Intel
ligently reflect the supply and de-
mand situation" resulted today In
local spectators bringing forward
North American statistics showing
the worlds wheat production ex'
ceeds consumption requirement!
by 10000, 600 bushels. These fig
ures we're cited to prove the re
cent fall of prices, both here ant
/ in Chicago. was in obedience t
economic laws.
i was pointed out that domes
tie consumption in Argentina !
small In comparison with that Q
! the United states, Argentine price
must be governed, to q great extent
by export demand.
European bAyers at present re
fuse to enter the market here
chiefly, it is said because of the un
cersainty as to whether the Argen
! tine government will reimpose tn
export surtax on wheat, which ex
! pired on Dec. 81, last. Such actiol
was intimated recently in govern
ment sources, and this, with tn
iateness OF tie crop and the heav
yield, is said to have caused tn
break in futures.
Ir0nic Cheers.
Assertion is made in authorita
tive quarters that in such a bl
market and with such huge Gro
being moved, it is possible for an
group of firms to dominate quota
tions, as was charged in the state
ment issued in Chicago on Wednes
day. 1t is added that prices {
wheat here represent the true SIT
luation. Brokers on the Bolsa toda
greeted with ironic cheers an
jeers, the arrival of Chicago moo
quotations showing big declines:
A grain trade committee toda
called on President Irigoyen, ash
ing him for a definite declaratio
regarding the export surtax. tn
president replied that if the trad
could agree on a minimum prie

rACKSON'S administration stands

Jefferson and Lincoln because Of two
measures. One Of these was the over
throw of the United States bank.
That great institution, patterned
after the Bank Of England and the
Bank Of France. was an efficient but
dangerous partner for a democratic
oily which could make or break any
enterprise In the country; 1t held In
its grasp the financial life Of Amer

with only fifth Of Its directors ap-

When Jackson began his audacicus
fight upon the bank, 1t was at the
height of Its power. Against heavy
odds, he vetoed the bill for recharter-
ing IL; took his case to the people In
his campaign for reelection. and
scored complete victory. On the
strength Of that popular verdict he
removed the government deposits
and left the bank to slow and igno-
minious collapse.

him. After bitter fight, in which

imperial Conference Opens With
Plea for Friendship With

INTERESTED IN CHINA
Lloyd George Says Great Britain
Anxious to Help Solve Questions
Involving Pacific Ocean and
the Far East.

London--The British prime minister,
In opening the imperial conference. at
tended by the premiers OF the British
overseas dominions, referred to Anglo
Japanese relations In terms generally
regarded In American circles here AS
assurance to the United States that
any renewal of the agreement with the
japanese government would necessari-
ly be OF nature unobjectionable to
America.
While Lloyd George avoided dec
laration on the direct issue Of the
treaty. he alluded to the war time
friendship with Japan and said that
Great Britain was anxious to apply
this friendship to solution OF the
questions connected with the Pacific
ocean and the Far East, among them
the future of China.
Great Britain desired to avoid COM
petition in ornaments IN the Pacific,
the prime minister declared and he
emphasized the willingness of the gov.
eminent to discuss limitation OF arma.
ments with the United States He

Australia and New Zealand, was built

Wants Cooperation With Y. 8.
Discussing the relations between
Great Britain and the United States,
the prime minister said:
Friendly cooperation with the Uni
ted States Is for ns cardinal prin-
ciple dictated by what seems to us the
proper nature OF things, by instinct
quite as much as by reason and com.
mon sense
I'VE are ready to discuss with Amer.

limitation OF ornaments which they
wish to set forth. and we can under
take that no such overtures will find

Ceremony 10 Lacking.
The first session of the conference
was without ceremony. the represen
tatives Of the United Kingdom, the
dominions and India assembling at the
residence Of the premier, who spoke
for an hour. Lloyd George welcomed
the visiting premiers and other dele
gates, who, he said, met as equal part
ners In the dignities and responsible
ties Of the British commonwealth"
The prime minister summarized pos
war conditions and said that German
disarmament was virtually accom-
plished and the PREPARATIONS problem
was I'm fair way OF being solved"
The problems OF Silesia and tn,
Near East remained. their solution la.

standards were 100 years behind the

never lost the spirit Of the clansman
or subdued his ungovernable temper.
A bare catalog of his quarrels and
fights is too long to be given here. In
most of them he was fired with the
conviction that he was defending the
name Of his wife. This had been
brought into question only by his own
characteristic imprudence when he
fell In love with his landlady's daugh-
ter. while she was yet married to an
other and when he rashly wed her
without waiting to verify the mere ru-
NOR that her offended husband had
obtained divorce in neighboring
state. After two years Of welded life.

woman's first marriage had only just
been dissolved and they had 10 make
