Washington, Jan. 24.-The ma

of factors causing the general
American farm depression and for
possible means Of relief.
G.. F. Warren of Ithaca, N. r.,
just back from trip Of investiga-
tion in Europe, told the delegates
Of the effect of the situation there
on American agriculture and
emphasized the needs Of accurate
information for American farmers
as to European production and de-
mand.
Conditions Changing.
"For some time to come the
conditions in Europe will be sub
ject to erratic changes, both in
supply and demand" said Mr.
Warren.
'If We are to adjust our pro-
duction to meet the changing de-
mand, we must have the fullest
and most carefully analyzed in
formation. Agriculture is not a
one year business. We need tx
know all the currents of European
movement in advance as far as
possible"
formerly Europe financed
much of our world trade in farm
products. Now we must do it,
declared Mr.. Warren, adding:
"This means vradjustment Il

There is no outstanding figure
among the candidates for the high

choice. others being discussed
are Cardinal Lafontaine OF Venice
and Cardinal Ratti of Milan.
The interment OF Benedict has

TRIAL OF
TODD NOW
NEAR END
Case Expected To Go
TO Jury Late To-day;
Defense Makes Plea
for Acquittal

Portland, Or. Jan. "a Strong
arguments calling for the acquit-
tai of John Todd from charge of
using the mails to promote q
fraudulant timber land scheme
were made to the federal court
jury here this morning by A. L.
Miller and Charles Robinson, at
torneys for the defendant.
Commenting upon the lack OF
evidence shown by Todd to prove
his innocence Miller said: Guilty
men show less evidence OF guilt
than do innocent men"
II admit he ought to have had
sense enough not to do it," Miller
continued, tbut he had no GRIM
inal intent. Todd didn't conceal
anything from his friends, except
possibly the reputation of Byron.
Everything he did was open and
above board. We have brought
you witnesses here from Salem,
the very place where this deal
went on, and shown you the. high
standing he still holds in that
community. A man who has built
up reputation is entitled to some
consideration for It,"
The defense consumed the en-
tire morning in argument. United

ment for the government this aft
