Washington, 1). C, 1-Vb. -M. - (,Sc
1 j:ial Telegram.) - A somewhat
acrimonious controversy developed
among the irpiiblicaus er the
eiiKi'sri'Fy larilf hill on agricultural
products. Congressman. Crcrii of
Iowa, who in the absence of Mr.
Fordncy, took charge of the hill
alter ii passage hy the seiute, found
i. to his surprise that New F.ngland
y-J members had organized to prevent
j the hill coining to a vote at this scs-
sion. Wlim (ireen asked for unan
imous consent to haveflie hill sent
to conference. Tread way of Massa
chusetts qbjected. tirceil then
romptly called the ways and means
committee together to ohtain author
ity to ask for a rule from the rules
committee which would send the bill
to conference.
Sustained by Committee
Here again he was opposed by
Treadway and Tielseu ((. onnccticut),
hut was sustained hy a large major
ity, of the committee. Treadway
even took the unprecedented course
of appearing hefore the rules com
mittee and opposing tireen when lie
t was applying for a rule, hut the
rules committee sustained (ireen.
The New Kjigland memhers coii-S-..
,',1Ut'J their opposition when th
V':vrule came up in the house, Trcad-
way and Luce making speeches of
the free trade order against the hill,
hut Green rallied a number of the
democrats to his support, and the
rule carried, after a spirited contest
by 190 to 157.
v Fight Sugar Hate.
Y 1 'ie conference heiwieu the house
' and senate over the bili began Mon
day, the republican managers in the
house being 1'ordney. Green and
-ougw rth. 1 hp house conferees
have been endeavoring to confine the
bill to what it was when it left the
imse. that is an emergency hill on
agricultural items, the value of which
vas so great as to make them of
national importance.
The senate added 11 products,
inost of them of minor importance.
The great confh'ct has !feen over the
rate of wheat and sugar, the house
conferees considering the rate on
wheat fixed bv the senate as alto
gether too high and unnecessarily
to. The house conferees also oppose
having sugar included in the bill
but for the sake of agreement have
offered to accpt the rate of the
Payne bill on sugar.
J .An farIy agreement is necessary
J . if the bill is to he passed this ses
sion and not die in one house or
the other. Representative Green
said that the house conferees might
he obliged to accept the senate
i amendments and take, rates which
Jtiicy would no' agree, to in a pcr
:V""ujaiscnt bill in order to get it passed.
'I'Li ,i .1.: i .i... .
They would do this because thcratcs
were merely temporary and,, as he
believed, would not be in - force
longer than 60 days as there is a
growing opinion that the Payne bill,
with some modifications, should be
put in force tu til a complete tariff
revision could be framed.
After an all-day s s-ion the con
ftrecs adjourned' at 5 o'clock with
the sugar itcnis still i:i controversey.
The house foresees a standing out
for a sugar duly about the same ai
carried in the Payne bill while the
senate conferees want the duty much
higher. It is thought, however, that
"both senate and house conferees
will yield a little Snd thereby reach
a'Ji agreement tomorrow.

meeting was held in the Chamber

"For 40 years," dectarcd Mr.
Moore, "lloopeston's mayors have
been glad to serve the people of this
commonwealth for 50 cents a year.
This resolution is indicative of the
shocking state of affairs that now ob

a reckless waste of money to accede

Other speakers set forth the "en

Japanese Cannot

Anti-Alien Law
Foreign Minister. Declares
California Is Acting With
in State Constitution,
Also That of U. S. .
Tokio, Feb. 2A. (By the Associa
ted Press) Japan can do nothing to
invalidate anti-Japanese legislation
in California, declared Viscount
Uchida, foreign minister, in the Diet
here today.
".California's legislation," he said,
"is injurious to Japanese interests,
but that state has been acting within
her constitution, and also that of
the United States."
The foreign minister spoke in re
ply to Baron Yoshiro Sakatani, who,
after referring to a growing tend
ency in other Pacific cosat states to
follow the example of California,
asked if the Japanese government
was doing anything to counteract
this movement. He also inquired
if there were prospects that the ac
cord being negotiated by Roland S.
Morris, American ambassador to
Japan, and Viscount Shidehara, Jap
anese ambassador at Washington,
might be ratified soon.
M. Uchida said an agreement of a
nature advantageous to -Japan was
being arranged by Mr. Morris and
M. Shidehara and that a satisfac
tory solution might be expected, al
though it was doubtful whether def
inite steps would he take"rr during
the administration of President Wil

In Cold Storage
Bill Js Killed
McLaughlin Wages Successful
Fight in House Fur liter
Conference Is Now
Necessary.
By E. C. SNYDER.
Wellington CorrfRPomleut -Oiiinhn flee
Washington, Feb. 24. (Special
Telegram.) The "10 day provision"
in Jhe cold storage bill which has
been having rough hlcdding ever
since the conferees agrerd to the
clause which would compel shippers
to brand the:r shipments "cold stor
age," even though tliese shipments
arc made in refrigerator cars or in
!hc holds of vessels, where the tem
perature is maintained at or below
45 degrees above zero, was com
pletely knocked out yesterday by the
house on a rising vote of to 51,
Congressman Evans being the only
Nebraskan to vote in the negative.
Congressman McLaughlin, a mem
ber of the agricultural committee,
fhile in favor of branding food in
i old storage and a champion of the
bill as it originally passed the
house, could nut stand for the pro
visions as agreed to by the con
forces and he said so during the
course of the debate on the con
ference report. He said that the pro
vision as agreed upon in conference
would work both to t tie detriment
of the producers and the consumers.
Knowing that the conference re
port on the cold storage bill would
be taken up by the house at an
early day Mr. McLaughlin got the
consent of Speaker Gillclt to offer
an amendment striking out of the
definition of the term "warehouses,"
the words "including a car, vessel,
or other vehicle." In the mean
time, however, the senate acted on
the conference report which pre
sented a parliamentary status pre
cluding the offering of the motion to
recommit. When the situation be
came known, there was nothing left
for the house to do but to disagree
with tM conference report and ask
for a further conference on the ob
noxious clause, f
Mr. McLaughlin in the course of
his rem-ks stated that he was in
favor ol cold storage legislation,
having been much interested in the
preparation of the bill which orig
inally passed the house, but that the
10-day provision included in the
conference report would make it
necessary for shippers of produce in
the west to label their products
"cold storage" before shipment was
made to New York and other east
ern terminals, . because in many
cases the goods would be in transit
10 days or 'more.

shipping board will be compelled to

Proponents of Walsh Bill
Appear Before Committee
Washington, Feb. 24. Proponents
of the Walsh bill to allow use of
Yellowstone park flood waters for
irrigation in Montana argued today
before a senate committee that the
project would result in reclaiming
$.30,000,000 worth of land which
would provide farms for 31,000
people.
Henry Gerhart. engineer for Mon-tiita-'
irrigation projects estimated
th-cost of dams in the park to hold
back the flood waters at $300,000.
He declared Secretary of the In
terior Payne was in error in saying
that constant enroachment on the
paTk area would be entailed by a
congressional grant of -.privileges

This was the night word was te

Suspicion that he' was headed for
