He asserted that the farm and rartch industry is the "very life and vitals" of America. "The farming and live stock inter--. est aie suffering from competition with rau material from foreign COU.1- : tries imported dutv free. Mr. Pryor declared. It they are torceo. o as this, then poverty is their heritage the producers are as much entitled to a tariff on the so-called raw ma terial as the manufacturers," he as serted.

"We can never prosper under a "iystem of on-htlf free trade, one half protection, or one-half subsi dized and one-half taxed." Mr. Pryor told of the competition with cheap labor and (declared in . Japan a man works for as little as "17 cents a day. He said recently trainloads of Chinese had -passed through El Paso en route to Cuba " to Work on the sugar plantations on ;a wage basis that meant bankruptcy ,Vto American .sugar - producers if forced to comptte With them. H Ife said Australia and New Zealand Hand other western countries can pro- duce beef at 2 or 3 cents a pound owing to cheapness of land and la bor, while in this country it cost several times as much to produce beef. The same condition held good as to cotton, he said. Tells of Uneasiness. The speaker described the cause of . i i -. i : I . uneasiness in inc nve siock iiiuusiijr as twofold: "First, the withdrawing of credit bv monev lenders in a large measure. Second, the unstable condition of the country in general and the fear of importation of meats into this coun try tree of duty. "In conclusion he said income tax records indicated the country has 20.000,000,000 acres, and asked, Whoever heard of an honest-to God millionaire farmer? He said most millionaires made their money fif-m manufactures from raw ma terials produced by the farmers, but said that while such a community of interest should produce a "fifty- fifty " profit for both producers and manufacturers, he was unable even to guess what per cent the farmer received as compared to what the manufacturers obtained for finished products.

United States To Quit Parleys On Peace Treatv President Wilson Resigned to Keep Hands Off Interna tional Affairs Involv ing War. Bj GRAFTON S. WILCOX. Chicago Tribune-Omaha Dm loused Wire. Washington, Jan. 11. President Wilson is resigned to keep hands off international affairs involved in the treaty of Versailles for the re maining weeks of his administra tion. Positive indication of this attitude came today when it was learned that the United States will withdraw from the council of ambassadors at Paris, representing the principal al lied and associated powers. Although no formal announce ment was forthcoming on th subject from authoritative quarters this with drawal is to be ordered in the near future. Harding Must Decide. President Wilson, it. is declared, takes the view that only the incom ing national administration can in terpret what the American reople de cided in the recent "solemn refer endum" as to what America's, for- e'gn policy shall be. The mandate of the people as expressed in the overwhelming election of Senator Hardmg to the presidency, Mr Wil son believes, must be interpreted by Mr. Hard-ng. Mr. Wilson cr.nnot presume to interpret it, his close as sociates say, and because of this view, he proposes to withdraw from the council of ambassadors at Paris all American representation o that the new administration will find for eign affairs as related to the peace treaty, unratified bv this country,, as little involved as pdssible: . ; . The presidents decision is said to mean that he will make no further efforts in behalf of the peace treaty of Versailles and will leave it in his desk, where it now reposes, for President-elect Harding to reflect upon when he assumes office March 4. 1 ' Among the problems In whichythe United States has an immediate in terest and must continue its asso ciation are the communications con ference and the Rliineland commis sion. These contacts, however, im ply no political considerations. Former Crimea Prince Held When He Fails to Declare a Pendant New York, Jan. 1 1 . Anatole Kamluchine, who says that until the overthrow of the Russian czar he was a prince of Crimea, employed as first electrician on the Greek pas senger steamship King Alexander, is depressed over the confiscation by custom house inspectors of an emer ald pendant valued by him at $2,000. Kamluchine says that the pendant was seized when he took it ashore" with the id-ea of selling it for its owner, Michele Garchinc, secretary to Queen Mother Olga of Greece. Ignorance of the laws was not ac cepted by the inspectors as an ex cuse for nonpayment of duty charges, and they directed Kamlu chine to appear in court.

McBride is still at large, but a de termined hunt is'on for him. The case against the men is considered strong enough to convince even a Chicago murder jury. I he proprietor of the cafe testified positively that Morris stepped behind the police man and shot him in the back with out warning. The officer had been called bv an attendant as Morriss and his companions were threatening to murder a woman in the place. 1 hree girls who had been picked up on the street by Morrjs and his companions also testified that Morris fired the shot that killed Mullen.

After the jurors had heard the witnesses they were taken to Mor ris' cot in the county jail. There an exciting scene was en acted for a moment. One of the girls, a girl of high school age screamed hysterically. Another swooned and had to be carried frpm the ward. Morris sat. propped in his bed and did not seem affected. tie was silent as one witness after another pointed him out as the man who killed the policeman. -' Japanese Business Men of Texas Combat Deportation Fort Worth.
