Permits Expired,
Closing Due
To Be Dry
BY the Associated Press,

oy tUc hSeOCIaVeU FIeSS.
NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-Drizzling
skies forecast wet closing for the
1899 New York Worlds Fair tonight
but roisterers were more uneasy
over the prospect 1t might be a dry
affair-alcoholically speaking-for
them.
This arose as a result of the dis
covery that SO of the 54 bars on the
exposition grounds had obtained
only six-month liquor licenses when
the fair opened April 80.
The licenses expire promptly at
midnight tonight. Bar owners said
they would seek permission to serve
drinks few hours beyond the dead
line to large Halloween crowds ex-
pected to help put the fair in VIM
ter mothballs.
Hundreds of extra police were as
signed to guard fair property against
souvenir hunters Many of the ex-
hibits were expected to be boarded
up early.
Rain held down the attendance
to 1850 yesterday, increasing the
total paid admissions to 25,760, ,127
Officials hoped last-day crowds
would swell the final first-season
attendance figure to 100000.
A retreat parade by Army, Navy
and Marine Corps units win feature
the closing ceremonies. The fair
will reopen May Is, 1910. A skele-
ton staff will maintain it through
the winter.

the conference for some time in
January, in Salt Lake City or some
other convenient city. The secret
agenda for the conference has been
completed and the organizers of this
conference are awaiting disposition
OF the neutrality bill by Congress
before the issuance of their public
call for the conference.
Reason for Opposition.
"Labor's Non Partisan League is
opposed to the holding of this con-
ference for the following reasons:
"A. The source of it's conception
and the surreptitious manner IN
which its organizers have worked.
B. The doubtful source of its
finances. An anonymous individual
IN California is counted upon to
provide a plentitude of money.
&C. The questionable legality un-
der the Hatch Act of the activities
of Littell and Dimock.
ID. The slight to Senator Burton
K. Wheeler and other great liberals
In the West who have not been
consulted and who are slated to be
excluded from the conference.
e. The exclusion of labor from
the privilege of making suggestions
for a legitimate program.
IF. The secret plans to use the
conference to launch a third-term
boom.
Doubts Presidents Approval.
Il doubt that the President has
knowledge of or would approve the
plans of these overzealous indi-
viduals responsible for this program.
Aside from his recent public utter
ances, his rebuke of Secretary WAL
lace through White House Sec
reary, Stephen Early, should carry
conviction.
you are advised that Labor's
Non-Partisan League has issued in
structions to its various chairmen
in the II affected States to refrain
from any participation in the pro-
posed conference if later called to
assemble in Salt Lake City or else
where"
Senator Wheeler said he was glad
Mr.. Lewis regarded him as "a lib
eral, even though he and I have
disagreed on several issues"

0dorous Polish Ham
Made Exhibit 81
In Fair Trade Case
ETC. Begins Hearings
On Good Housekeeping
Institute and Bureau
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Oct. 31.-With an
odorous Polish ham as Exhibit 3d.
the Federal Trade Commission be-
gan yesterday a series of hearings
on its complaint charging Hearst
Magazines, Inc, publishers Of the
magazine Good Housekeeping, with
unfair trade practices.
The complaint is based upon the
magazines issuance of certain guar
antees of products it advertises and
seals of approval" through the
Good Houseeping Institute and the
Good Housekeeping Bureau after
tests In mechanical departments
and laboratories maintained by the
magazine.
The commission has alleged that
the general guaranty covering ad-
vertised products "is not In all in
stances the result of scientific test
Of product. but frequently is based
upon general investigation thereof
by staff member"
Says Guaranty Is Permitted.
In such cases. the complaint con-
tended, the advertiser is permitted
to use the guaranty and the phrase
guaranteed by Good Housekeeping
as advertised therein" upon the
products in question.
Because Of the similarity of the
uorhi no nd tho ,,co of III n
name Good Housekeeping in all the
aforesaid seals and symbols" the
complaint added, many of the pur-
chasing and consuming public are,
or may be, confused and misled into
the belief that all products bearing
any of the several seals have been
scientifically tested and are guaran-
teed by Good Housekeeping Maga-
zine"
James L. Fort, attorney for the
commission, offered the Polish ham
along with exhibits of many other
food articles. and while saying that
the ham had not borne seal of
approval" he asserted it had been
advertised in the magazine.
With his pencil he pressed the
tin. and the hiss of escaping gases
followed. EXAMINER Charles F..
Diggs wrinkled his nose and ordered
the ham taken from the room. Then
he allowed it to be accepted as evi-
dence.
Miss Elizabeth Mohler, a depart
ment store employe. testified that
purchasers had returned two out
of every three" Of certain make Of
washing machine which bore seals
OF approval of the magazine. She
gave mechanical defects" as the
reason.

Reciprocal Trade
Foes'in Senate Seek
To Kill Program
Bipartisan Drive
Develops With Act
To Expire in June
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Ar bipartisan drive to kill the ad-
ministartion's reciprocal trade pro-
gram is developing in the Senate.
Four Senators-Borah, Repub-
lican, of Idaho: O'Mahoney, Demo-
crat, of Wyoming; McNary, Repub-
lican, Of Oregon, and Adams, Demo-
crat, of Colorado-declared today
the program had operated to the
disadvantage of American agricul-
ture.
Senator McNary. the minority
leader, told reporters "a substantial,
perhaps a majority, membership Of
Congress will vote against contin-
uance of the trade agreements pro-
gram"
The reciprocal trade statute, orig
inally enacted in 1884, will expire
next June II. Unless Congress votes
to continue it. the State Department
will be unable to write any further
agreements after that date. Secre-
tary Hull has advocated the plan
staunchly, contending it will operate
to bring about increased trade and
better understanding throughout
the world.
20 Agreements in Force.
The United States already has
trade agreements with 20 nations.
| Negotiations for new or revised
agreements are under way with Ar
gentina. Chile, Venezuela, Cuba,
Uruguay and Belgium.
Senator Adams said he thought
the Trade Agreements Act was un-
constitutional-first, because it in
volved a delegation of the taxing
power to an administrative depart
ment, and second, because it did not
require Senate ratification of the
agreements. The agreements, the
Coloradoan contended, actually are
treaties which could not be valid
without Senate ratification.
Meanwhile, Supreme Court test
OF the acts constitutionality ap-
peared in prospect. Gov William
H. Vanderbilt of Rhode Island indi-
Gated he would seek such a test on
the ground the agreements should
be acted on by the Senate.
Gov. Vanderbilt objected. more
over, that the trade agreement with
France hurt the Rhode Island lace
industry. Assistant Secretary of
State Henry Grady replied that al
though there has been an increase
in lace imports, the total value of
United States lace production in
1887 was almost that of the boom
year 1929.
Mr.. Gray said the State Depart
ment had no objection to any prop
er and appropriate legal proceed
ingS.'
Foreign Competition Hit.
Senator Borah said American
farmers should not have to compete
with countries where production
costs are less.
THE American market belongs
exclusively to the American farmer
to the full extent of his ability to
supply it," he said Il know he is
able to supply the American market
today, and unless he is given the
American market, he cannot hope
to recover the position where he
has any degree of prosperity"
Senator McNary contended that
while some industries had benefited
from the trade program, American
agriculture had suffered. He said
late reports indicated this country
would buy more agricultural prod
ucts abroad this year than it would
sell to foreign nations.

slated to be excluded from the con-
ference"
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of
Montana, told reporters he had
heard rumors of this so-called pro-
gressive conference"
II just assumed" he said, that
it was being promoted by some of
the over-zealous young men in
Washington without the Presidents
knowledge to try to draft him for a
third term"
Senator Wheeler said he had never
believed Mr.. Roosevelt wanted to
run for another term.
The question, long topic of po-
lltical speculation, was raised
afresh last week when Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace said at San
Francisco that the European war
had made it clear another term for
Mr.. Roosevelt was desirable. White
House Secretary Stephen Early then
declared Secretary Wallace should
have consulted the victim before
he spoke"
Mr.. Early told reporters today the
White House knew nothing about
Mr.. Lewis letter or the third-term
conference.
The Lewis letter to Gov. Olson
follows:
During our personal conference
in San Francisco on October Is, we
discussed the proposed conference
of progressive leaders of II Western
States, then being organized by Mr..
Norman N. Littell, assistant to the
Attorney General in charge of the
Lands Division, Department of JUS

NEW YORK, June 16.-Henry
Ford said at the New York Worlds
Fair today that most of the ma.
tions represented here are so sick
of war that if it only rested with
them, there would never be an
other one"
His address, as prepared in ad-
vance, was long one for him, about
300 words. and he almost seemed to
be apologizing for it, rare as it was
when he said:
"All this progress did not come
from passing laws or making
speeches-it came because men did
something to serve an untitled need
1t came from mems hands and from
the land"
His last previous speech in New
York was one-sentence, 25-word
6-second statement at the American
Newspaper Publishers Association
dinner more than a year ago.
The occasion of his address today
was one close to his heart. He well
coined to the Fair grounds the
27,000 000th Ford automobile. which
had been driven here from the
San Francisco Exposition.
1T was at worlds fair 46 years
ago." he declared, that I got an
idea that started my mind working
on what proved to be my life's job "
He referred to the Columbian Ex-
position at Chicago in 1893. There
he saw fire engine with gasoline
power pump and went home de-
termined to construct a gasoline
motor light enough to mount on a
carriage, but strong enough to pull
1t.
He built an engine with materials
costing less than ST and it became
the forerunner of 27000,000 others
Harking back to his own expert
ence in 1893, Mr. Ford added, "the
principal thing the young man
the real maker of the world of to-
morrow-will see at this fair is that
the work motive far outstrips the
profit motive"
OF the various nations exhibits,
he said, these exhibits. and not
their wars, show their real charac-
ter. The nations of the world have
sent to this fair the things they are
really proud of, the things they
want to be judged by.
They haven't sent their bombs
and poison gas and samples of their
concentration camps - they're not
really proud of those things; they
wouldn't want to exhibit them.
Anyway, most of the nations repre-
sented here are so sick of war that,
If it only rested with them. there
would never be another one"
