Last year, so much trouble was en countered the "boils" on the K. T. highway near Murray that the road had to be planked for quite a dis tance, Cochran said. This stretch is now paved.

A rift in both republican and democratic ranks occurred Wednesday In the senate as debate was begun on provisions in the tariff bill to levy import taxes on hides, leathers and shoes, all of which have been permitted free entry into the United States for years. Senators Oddie of Nevada, Howell of Nebraska, and Bratton, of New Mexico, took up the cudgel for a high tariff exceeding that of 10 per cent ad valorem proposed by the finance committee and the house bills and for rates that would be only compen satory on leathers and shoes. Senator Goldsborough, from the leather tanning state of Maryland, and Senator Hawes, from the shoe center of St. Louis, opposed a duty on hides, with the former coming out for a higher levy on sole leather than that carried in the pending bill. The house measure provides rates on leather ranging from 12 to 30 per cent and 20 per cent on shoes. The finance committee left the shoe duty the same, but made the levies on leather L5 to 20 per cent. Amendments Offered Oddie, who opened the debate, of fered an amendment to make green hides dutiable at six cents and dried hides ten cents a pound, the same as advocated by the American Farm Bureau federation. At present prices, he argued, a flat 10 per cent duty would mean a protection of only one or two cents a pound, lie added hia specific rates, if enacted, would stabilize the hide market in this country, where prices were dominat ed by importers of South American hides. If duties on leathers and shoes were made protective as well as compensatory, he said, farmers might be "unjustly charged" with responsi bility for possible higher shoe prices. The only other individual amend ment offered during the day was that by Goldsborough to continue hides on the free list and to tax imported sole leather 20 per cent as against 15 per cent in the pending measure and 12y2 per cent in the house bill. Howell Gives View Howell said the Oddie rate on green hides would just about equalize the cost of producing a hide in Wyoming and delivering it to Missouri river points with that of an Argentina hide laid down at New York, which he estimated at around 6 cents. Leather and shoe manufacturers on the whole, were in a fairly pros perous condition, he argued, and for that reason did not require the full protection afforded under the bill. It was true, he said, that some wom en's sport shoes come in from Czecho slovakia, but he estimated them at only 1.4 per cent of domestic production. Describing the 10 per cent rate as a sop without any substance what ever," Senator Bratton supported the Oddie levies and said the livestock producers should be included in any farm relief plans. "I have spent my life among stock men and have seen thousands go into bankruptcy," he said. Senator Smoot estimated the Od- dles levies would be equivalent to a 40 per cent ad valorem rate. Break ing into the debate at one point, he asserted that no matter what lew was placed on hides, the leather pro ducer would receive little benefit, as he was under the domination of the packers. State Journal. Cruiser Problem Will be Settled Among the First French Have a Compromise on Ton nage and Categories Question; Likely to Admit Press. London, Jan. 24. Delegates to the five-power naval conference virtually wound up their first week's work to day with a whirl of activity bringing Anglo-American parity sharply to the fore for the first time and pointing to publicity for all future full meet ings of the conference. At the suggestion of Secretary Stimson, the troublesome cruiser problem, which wrecked the Geneva conference, seems certain to be tho first taken up in arranging details of parity of the British and American navies. The British and Americans, as n result of negotiations in the Hummer and fall of last year, already have reached a tentative agreement on this category and the Americans feel that the entire program should be settled as quickly as possible. French Propose Compromise. "The day's round of conferences also kept the Italian demand for parity with the French and Anglo-French disagreements over the scope of the conference constantly under the mic roscope. The French went to No. 10 Down ng street this morning, where, with the British delegates, they examin ed at length a memorandum prepared by Rene Massigli of the French dele gation, and Robert Leslie Craigio of the British foreign office, dealing with points of difference. It was understood the French pre sented a compromise plan which they developed with the Idea of reducing the divergence of opinion between those who want limitation by ton nage and those who desire limitation by categories. Dino Grandi, Italian foreign min ister, also 6aw Mr. MacDonald and then went to an appointment with Secretary Stimson. The quick suc cession of conferences kept the gen eral picture of the negotiations changing rapidly. Arrangements were made for Slg- nor Grandi and Colonel Stimson to meet later in the day and discuss the same subject. "Very Encouraging." Mr. Stimson, secretary of state and head of the American naval confer ence, in his first conference with the entire press reprensation at St. James' palace today, described pro gress of the naval conference thus far as "very satisfactory and encourag- ng." Colonel Stimson said that he knew there was considerable criticism at the exclusion of the press from the meetings of the delegates, but he knew of no reason for it, except in the size of the room. He said he felt sure the other dele gations held views similar to his, and that the press should be admitted to the plenary sessions, although they thus far had not expressed themselves formally thereon. The move for the admission of cor respondents at future conference meetings, such as that of yesterday at St. James palace, also originated in the American delegation. Senator Robinson strongly urged such a step and Senator Reed supported him. Mr. Stimson today accepted his first unofficial social engagement since he came to England.

Americans) were saved $100,000,000 annually on their shoe bills Friday when the sen ate, by a vote .of 46 to 28, restored hides, leather, boots and shoes to the free list in the new tariff bill. This action was taken afterrthe ef forts of western republicans and southwest democrats to boost the duty on hides had been defeated by sub stantial margins. If the proposed in creases had become effective, the com pensatory duties on leather and snc-r: would have laid a heavy tax on fam ily budgets. The amendment to wipe out all duties on this schedule was offered by Senator Borah of Idaho, republi can leader of the democratic-insur gent coalition, after he had voted with his western colleagues for the higher rat on hides. Oddie Is Sponsor. Senator Oddie of Nevada sponsor ed the proposals of increased duties. His first amendment to fix the duty on green hides at 5 cents a pound and t9 cents on dried hides was re jected, 39 to 31. A few minutes later. a substitute to make the rates 4 and 8 cents was defeated, 37 to 30. ine iioran amendment, at one .n Pniish Pnmerania as well as at swoop, wiped out tne nouse rate oi sosowiec, a great colliery center, and store these items to the free list came as a result of the abortive efforts of cattlement, the tanning interests and the shoe manufacturers to reach a compromise. So all went down to de feat together. Coalition Split. When senators representing cattle states found that they could not get what thye wanted, they turned on their colleagues from tanning and shoe manufacturing states and voted to restore the whole "works" to the free list. On the Borah amendment, 20 re publicans. 25 democrats, and one farmer-laborite, voted to put all ar ticles on the free list, while 24 repub licans and four democrats resisted the motion. Senators Blaine and La Follette of Wisconsin, who have large tanneries in their state, voted with the old guard. The coalition was splU wide open on the Oddie amendments. On his first proposal for a duty of 5 and 9 cents a pound on hides, he had the upport of 19 republicans, 11 demo crats and one farmer-laborite. It waa opposed by 21 republicans and 18 democrats.
