eleven Middle Western states in which
the tariff matter will be considered.
From Illinois, also, came demand
for export corporation legislation.
Fifteen hundred farmers, gathered in
Bloomington for the annual banquet
Of the Mclean County Farm bureau
passed resolutions urging congress to
pass this relief legislation
Meanwhile the Farmers union,
claiming to represent a million corn
belt farmers, sent to President Cool
idge a telegram asserting that the Des
Moines conference was not representa-
tive Of the agricultural interests Of
Iowa and that the real issue is the
cost of production Of agricultural
products. The effort OF the Iowa
bankers was termed "presumptu0us in
reference on the part Of nonagricul-
! tural groups"
Addressing the Boston chamber Of
commerce, Senator Capper Of Kansas
gave warning that unless the tariff
was made to apply to agricultural
crops, its protection probably would be
removed from manufactured products.
a DVOCATES of American adher-

dent that the resolution providing for
that will be adopted by the senate with
several votes to spare. Leaders of
The opposition, however, think other
wise and declare that the people Of
The country are little interested in the
question despite the wide propaganda
conducted in favor Of the court. Sen
atOr Norris was reported to have
switched and to be ready TO vote for
the resolution, but he said this was an
eXaggeration and that he would sup
port the measure only if proper
reservations" were included. Senators
McMaster and Norbeck of South Da-
kota take the same position. Op-
ponents of the resolution believe the
{ debate will be so prOtracted that 1T
will not come to vote until late in
| the winter, although the administra-
tion hopes to have the question settled
| by the end Of January, before the
senate takes up consideration Of the
revenue bill.
| ~ ENERAL PERSHING Is soon to
| ~ return to the United States for a
time, and the trouble hunters have
| started rumors, denied in the State
| department, that the President and
the general have disagreed over the
arrangements for the Tacna-Arica
plebiscite. According to official state
ments and to the word of General
>Pershing himself, he is returning on
the advice of his physician for the pur-
pose of receiving dental treatment nee
| essary to his health. 1t was empha-
| sized at the State department that his
return had no diplomatic or political
significance and that there was every
indication that he would go back to
complete his work at africa. In Peru
it was feared that his departure would
be followed by "reign of terror" In
Tacna and africa and that the Peru
Wan residents there would be further
subjugated by the Chileans. The lat
ter already find 1t difficult to obtain
food or employment because Of a
| Chilean boycott.

X. Wheeler of Montana for al

land permits was halted in the Dis
trict of Columbia Supreme court when
the indictment against him was dis
missed on the ground that 1t was
faulty, falling to charge violation Of
federal statutes. The cases against
his fellow defendants, Edwin 8. Booth
and Gordon S. Campbell, also were
wiped off the books. Il hope this will
end these prosecutions" was Mr..
Wheeler's only comment.
