' WASHINGTON, May 28. Am official
statement Issued at the Navy Depart
ment late tonight said ;
"After making every effort to -verify
' the reported landing of umi by the
eteamers Bavaria and Yplranga at
Puerto Mexico, the Department baa
heen unable to confirm the rumor, and
In view of all the circumstances,, la
disposed to await at confirmation that
the landing of the arms actually too It
place."
WASHINGTON, May 28. The landing
of munitions for General Huerta from
the German steamers Ypiranga and
Bavaria at Puerto Mexico was the up
permost subject of discussion in off!
cial circles. Cabinet officials gener
ally expressed surprise that arms had
been landed, but It was generally con
ceded that nothing could have been
done by this Government to stop deliv
ery of the shipment without a viola
tion of the armistice.
Secretary Bryan asserted that he was
making no further effort to verify the
information relating to the landing of
the ammunition.
"We iid not expect the arms to be
landed," said Mr. Bryan. He referred
to an understanding said to have been
had with officials of the Hamburg
American line that the arms on the Ba
varia and Ypiranga would be returned
to the consignors on foreign shores.
German Government "Without Authority
Secretary Bryan recalled that the
American Consul-General at Havana
had reported the Hamburg-American
agent's instructions to the captain of
the Kronprinzessin Cecilie to refrain
from discharging his cargo, which was
consigned to Huerta through Puerto
Mexico several weeks ago. Similar in
structions. Mr. Bryan said, were un
derstood to have been forwarded to the
captains of the Bavaria and Ypiranga.
No agreement between authorized
representatives of the United States
and the German government relating
,to this shipment ot arms has been re
ported. At the German embassy it was
pointed out that the German govern
ment had no legal authority to pre
vent the captain of a German merchant
vessel from engaging in commerce
this character, as would be true of
the United States Government ill the
case of an American ship captain con
veying arms to a foreign country with
which the United States was at peace.
All Mexican Forts Are S"ree.
There has been no modification of
the original official statement regard-
ing the freedom of the Mexican ports.
This covers even Vera Cruz, where the
United States forces are in possession.
Any cargo, even one comprising milt
tary supplies, may be landed at Vera
Cruz and entered in the custom
house there.
From German sources comes the in
formation that all of these arms and
ammunition supposed to be supplied by
German factories actually were mad
In the United States; shipped out o
New York and Boston to Hamburg and
reshipped from there to Mexico.
In the Senate the landing of German
Implements of war at Puerto Mexic
was the subject of short debate started
by Senator Reed. .
lolndexter Makes Inquiry.
"I do not mean to criticise" the Ad
ministration, but I cannot see why
could stop the landing of arms at Vera
Cruz and not stop the landing at Puer
to Mexico," Senator Poindexter de
vlared. "The guns will shoot the same
whether landed at Vera Cruz or Puerto
Mexico."
Senator Lod,re replied that the Ad
ministration had officially announced
this country was not at war with Mex.
ico and hence so long as the United
States was not actually in possession
of a port, it could not object to the
landing of imports there.
"There was no need for a German
cruiser to convey the German ships,"
Senator Lodge added. "The Germans
liatl a right to land arms at Puerto
Mexico under our present status. Just
as Ihe Japanese had to land arms the
other day at Salina Cruz. It is to be
regretted the arms were landed."

were perfected by the Houso today in
the consideration of the . Clayton bill
to supplement the anti-trust laws.
Scores of amendments designed to al
ter the measure as framed by the ju
diciary committee were voted down.
Three of the 22 sections of the bill were
agreed to in the course of the day's
debate.
The first section of the bill, dealing
with terms and definitions, was passed
without objection. The second, forbid
ding price discrimination between pur
chasers of the same commodities in the
same or different communities, was at
tacked by Representative Graham, of
Pennsylvania, .who offered several
amendments. All were defeated.
Curb oh Competition Prohibited.
The section making it unlawful for
persons controlling mines or mine pro
ducts to refuse to sell to responsible
persons, after being amended so as to
apply to oil and .gas wells, was passed
over to allow the Judiciary committee
to perfect the new provision.
The principal contest of the day was
over the fourth section, making it un
lawful for wholesalers to lease or sell
goods with a condition that the pur
chasers shall not deal in the goods of a
competitor. Representative McCoy, of
New Jersey, tried unsuccessfully to
limit the prohibition to such under
standings as are made ' with the in
tent of establishing a monopoly or de
stroying the business of a competitor.
Wilson Wonld End Uncertainty.
President Wilson today had occasion
to announce his Insistence on action
on the trust programme when he was
visited by a delegation from several
Middle Western manufacturers' asso
ciations. They urged that all business
legislation except the trade commls
slon bill be deferred, pending an Inves
tigation by the trade commission into
the needs of business.
A statement was given out at the
White House saying:
'The President said in reply to the
Illinois delegation that in his judgment
nothing was more dangerous for bus!
ness than uncertainty; that it had be
come evident through a long series of
years that a policy such as the Demo
cratlc party was now pursuing was
bsolutely necessary to satisfy the con
science of the country and Its percep
tion of the prevailing conditions of
business, and that it was a great deal
better to do the thing moderately and
soberly now than to wait until more
radical forces had accumulated and it
was necessary to go much further.
Depression Declared Psychological.
"The President also said that while
he was aware of the present depres
sion of business, there was abundant
evidence that it was merely psychologi
cal, that there is no material condition
or substantial reason why the business
of the country should not be in the most
prosperous and expanding condition.
He urged on his visitors the necessity
of patriotic co-operation on the part
of the business men ox the country in
order to support rather than to oppose
the moderate processes of reform, and
to help guide them by their own inti
mate knowledge of business conditions
and processes.
He told his visitors it was his earn
est desire to serve and not to hinder
or injure the business of the country.
In any way and he believed that on
reflection they would see that the
course be was urging would In the
long run not only, but in the short run
lso, be the wise and serviceable
course.

With the average rainfall for May al

River Valley are taking advantage
the present fair weather to harvest
their hay and alfalfa crops. Two
weeks ago it was feared the hay and
alfalfa crops would be a failure, but
week of rain came just at the right
time and a-t least an average yield is
certain.
The rains also have been a material
aid to the fruit crop. Insuring well
sized fruit and less expense in culti
vation. The early reports of loss from
frosts have been found exaggerated.
although considerable loss has been
sustained. While under normal condl

looks as though the 1913 crop of 1200
cars .would rcC- more than equalled.

CHEAPNESS IS ESSENTIAL
Present Government Policy Has

From Country Senator Brady
Proposes Entering Wedge.
OR EGONIAN NEWiS BUREAU, WaBh
ington. May 28. While Canada and
all the civilized nations of Europe
having the facilities are extracting
nitrogen from the air, and making
the cheapest known fertilizer, the
United States remains inactive, large
ly because Congress refuses to pass a
bill which will Justify private capital
the development of water power
possibilities within this country.
In the hope of arousing interest in
this subject. Senator Brady, of Idaho,
secured the adoption of an amendment
to the agricultural appropriation bill
setting aside $5000 to be used by the
Department of Agriculture at its
demonstration farm near Washington
in erecting a laboratory for experi
menting with processes of manufactur
ing fertilizer by means of nitrogen ex
traded electrically from the air.
Senator Brady made it clear that the
Government does not propose to manu
facture nitrogen fertilizer for com
mercial -nurooses. but merely to ex-
perlment with different methods of
extraction of nitrogen from the air.
One of the largest nitrogen fertilizer
plants in the world Is now operated
at Niagara f alls, on the Canadian side.
It is an American corporation which
prior to moving to Canada sought to
establish its plant in Alabama. The
policy of the United States Govern
ment, and of Congress, however, denied
this corporation the right to develop
cheap power in Alabama, and as cheap
power is an essential to the manuiac
ture of this fertilizer, the corporation
abandoned its property in Alabama and
went over to Canada
Senator Brady pointed out that on
the Snake River, within 20 miles of
his home, lies 600.000 undeveloped
horsepower that might readily be
utilized In the manufacture of nitrogen
fertilizer. Such a plant would not
only supply the State of Idaho, but
probably would be able to turn out
enough fertilizer to supply the greater
part of the fanners of the Western
states. It is not possible to develop
that power under the prevailing gov
ernmental and congressional policy,
and until the policy is changed, that
600,000-horsepower will remain un
developed and no one will reap any
benefit.
If the Government conducts experi
ments which prove successful and
which demonstrate the practicability
of manufacturing cheap fertilizer
where cheap power can be had. Senator
Brady hopes that Congress will adopt
a policy which, like that or Canada.
will encourage development.
