In the Industry
Speaker at Convention Deals
: Vigorously With Tariff
and Other Matters Affect
ing Cattle Raising.
El Faio Tex. Jan. 12. -Ike T.
Fryor of San Antonio, Tex., dejilt
vigorously with tariff arid other con
7 dittons which he declared adversely
affected the cattle railing and ship
ping industry in an address today at
the annual convention of the Ameri
can National Live Stock association
here. 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. Scorea Foreign Labor. -
"Why should they be compelled
to iell in a Itee market and buy in
' protected one? It is unjust dis
crimination. "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.

stantly, killed in the Lincoln Gardpn
cafe on January .1 Crosby was

city and finally run to shelter in a
shock of cornstalks far out on the
south side of the city. In capturing
h'tn he was shot twice through the
lungs and in an encounter with a
policeman earlier in the night he had
beeir shot in the hip. His wounds,
however, are not dangerous.
Have Strong Case.
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. Margaret
Burns, a patron of the cafe and
Mae Roeder, the checkroom girl
also testified to seeing Morris fire
the shot.
Morris Not Affected.
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. -'
