T FOR NEW PARLEY Under Leadership of Sen . ator Lodge, Republican Leaders Attack Eco nomic Conference Idea. (By Associated Press) . Washington, Dec. 27. Adminis tration senators under the lead of Chairman Lodge of the foreign re lations committee, began in the senate today a determined fight against the proposal of Senator Borah for a new international conference in Washington to dis cuss economic conditions and re duction of armaments. Senator Lodge, who was said by his colleagues, to have ascertained the views of President Harding, opened his attack as soon as the senate began work on the Borah proposal, which is in the form of an amendment to the naval bill, requesting the president to call a conference. The foreign relations chairman recounted the difficulties of further armaments limitations encounter at the Washington conference a year ago and it would be "useless to attempt to limit land arma ments unless it were established before hand that France had changed her position." The fight began after a score of administration senators had con ferred with Senator Lodge, provid ing for a resort to parliamentary tactics if necessary to defeat Bor ah's move. A part of the senators who have voted with Mr. Borah on other questions on foreign policy, are said to be against him while the Democrats seemed to be undecided whether to support or oppose the conference plan. Senator Lodge declared that it was an entirely new subject, for eign to the provision set in the bill by the house for further naval limitations. He recited that the conduct of foreign affairs was in the hands of the president and that he would not be bound to accept any advice offered by the senate although al most "any president would give weight to senatorial advice." Washington, Dec. 27. More than a score of Republican sena tors in a formal conference today before the senate reconvened de cided to oppose the amendment of fered by Senator Borah, Republi can, of Idaho, to the naval appro priation bill, which would request President Harding to call an inter national economic and disarma ment conference, determined that Senator Poindexter should open the fight by making a point of order against the Borah amend ment omthe ground that it is gen eral legislation in an appropriation measure. If the point of order should be overruled administration leaders said they planned to fight the pro posal on its merits and as a lost resort to present modification, lim iting the proposed economic con ference in uch a way as to give satisfactory protection against embroilment in affairs in Europe.

American farmers are losing approximately $30,000,000 a year on their oats crop and probaWy a like amount on their hay crops through the use of automobiles, motor trucks and tractors which have largely sup planted the use of horses in the cities, according to Robert Mc Dougal, president of the Chicago board of trade in analyzing the ef fect of motorized hauling on the horse and grain market. Mr. Mc- Dougal believes, however, the pen dulum is swinging the other way, pointing out that the prices on good draft horses are advancing. 'In 1910, there were 3,600,000 horses in the cities," said Mr." Mc Dougal, "while in 1920 there was a trifle more than half that num ber. Most city horses are fed up on oats and hay. Oats prices re cently averaged 656 cents below wheat prices, wftereas before we began using gasoline they averag ed 62 cents below wheat This Is a loss of three cents per bushel, which based upon an average crop of one billion bushels nets the farmer a tidy loss. "There is no doubt the big pow er tractor has reached the satura tion point. In many farming sec tions high-powered tractors were bought by small size farmers. It was a disastrous venture for many. In the cities, many businesses turned their backs upon the horse for short hauls with frequent stops. Today the farmer is feeding a yard of colts and the horse is coming into his own for short hauls. "The horse will never come back to his old place in the city but he is going to be -sure of an important place in moving several varieties of commodities."

What did the sheriff and governor do? The case was dismissed after a jury filled with bootleggers and the vicious ele ment declared the alleged mur derer innocent. "Now, however, when a boot legger and some one else is killed, the governor joins m the investi gation. This affair, in my opinion, will decide whethar the decent and good element of the town will con trol." Dr. McKoin stated he had re ceived threatening letters a long time before he left Mer Rouge and asked the sheriff to investigate, without success. "Just as I left the mayorship, and the successful candidate went into office," he continued, "gangs that paraded the streets fired shots around my house. I asked the sheriff to take matters in hand, but nothing was done. FOUNDER INTERNATIONAL REFORM BUREAU DEAD (By Associated Press) Washington, Dec. 27. Dr. Wil bur F.
