Administration Faces
Determined Fight
PREROGATIVE ISSUE IS RAISED
Committee Action on Jones and
Warburg Adverse.
PRESIDENT .STANDS FIRM
Objection to Jones Based on Hax
wester Connection Warburg's
Refusal to Be Examined Has
Caused Antagonism.
WASHINGTON. July 9 The Admin
istration met defeat today In the first
stage of Its fight to have the Senate
confirm the nominations of Thomas D.
Jones, of Chicago, and Paul M. War
burg, of New ork. as members of the
Federal Reserve Board.
The banking and currency commit
tee voted 7 to 4 to report the nomina
tion of Mr. Jones to the Senate with
an unfavorable recommendation, and
agreed to postpone indefinitely further
consideration of the nomination of
Mr. Warburg.
Jones Report to Be Submitted.
The Jones report will be submitted
by Acting Chairman Hitchcock early
next week, and the debate over his
confirmation will be resumed on the
floor of the Senate behind closed doors
In executive session.
No further action will be taken -by
the committee on the Warburg ap-
pointment unless the New York banker
changes his mind and decides to ac
cept the committee's invitation to sub
mit to its questioning.
The committee's action on these two
nominations was taken In the face of
a determined effort on the part of the
President to obtain approval ef them.
president to- Continue Fight.
In his conference with the' newspaper
men today the President made It clear
that he would continue the fight.
It was pointed out tonight that In
Insisting on confirmation of Warburg
the President was running Into the
Question of Senate prerogatives and
might find many votes against him
which would otherwise be on his side.
The Senate has grumbled for years
about the invasion of Its prerogatives
by Presidents, and In this case many
Senators feel they have found an Issue
on which they can stand together.
Opposition to Mr. Jones was . based
on the fact that he is a director of the
International Harvester Company, now
being sued by the Government as a
combination In restraint of. trade and
illegal under- the Sherman anti-trust
law.
Objections en Different Grounds.
There was little criticism of Mr.
Jones other than that he was a direc-
tor of the Harvester Company, but sev
eral members are said to have declared
they could not conscientiously approve
a man connected with a concern now
being prosecuted. v
Objection to Mr. Warburg so far Is
based on an entirely different reason.
The committee has asked him to ap
pear and submit to questions about his
business connections. He has refused,
and the question as now viewed by the
Senate Is whether it should confirm
any man who will not accept such an
invitation.
MEAT PRICES WILL RISE
Beer at 16 Cents to Butcher Pre
. -
dieted by Packers.
0
CHICAGO, July 9.-r-Meat prices will
rise above the record figures of recent
years, despite the huge grain crop, ac
cording to packing-bouse representa
tives, who today asserted that the pres
ent scarcity of cattle and the effect of
dry weather on grazing lands would
more than offset the enormous grain
' yield.
A price of 16 cents to the butcher for
beef was predicted as an early possibil
ity, and it was pointed out by one of
the packing-house men that cattle are
now higher than for some time. Scar
city of grass-fed cattle Was referred to
as a factor in the predicted advance.
The dry Summer in the West last
year, one of the representatives of the
packers said, was the chief cause of the
scanty supply on the hoof, and another
declared that the demand for meat ex
ceeded the supply and naturally caused
prices to advance. All agreed that
meat prices showed signs of rising.

ex-Governor Sulzer will go into tne
nrlmarles and cauture the Progressive
party nomination for Governor unless
Colonel Roosevelt consents to make the
fight himself.
The "Sulzer danger" has been used as
a club to get into line those Progres
sives who have expres -ed the opinion
that the Colonel ought to keep out of
the race and devote more of his time
to the affairs of the party in the Na
tion. The argument also has been
placed before the Colonel and as a re

chances of his becoming the Progres

creased greatly.
Sulser Can I'se Petitions.
The fact that admittedly is worrying
the Progressive leaders Is that Sulzer,
by getting out petitions, could have his
name placed on the primary ticket of
the -Progressive party in the state for

To many this was the first glance
of what soon will be one of America's
