ALBANY, N. Y., March 11.— At tha
coacluaion of a conference which,
with two or three 'interims, covered
practically the entire day. President
Taft seemed hopeful that a tariff war
with Canada may y«t be averted.

Minister o f Finance, did not result in

up the situation: **The President and
Mr. Fielding were in conference on
the tariff today for several hours. No
conclusion was reached, but the situ

Retirement From Reclamation Service
Directorate Considered Likely.
WASHINGTON. March 22.— Before
the end of the Pinchot-Balllnger row
is reached, F. H. Newell probably will
cease to be director o f the United
States Reclamation Service.
It has been intimated time and
again in these dispatches Coat Secre
tary Ballinger was desirous of re
lieving Mr. Newell of his present po
sition, and although the story was
persistently denied. Its correctness
was testified to before the Congres
sional Investigation committee by no
less man than A. P. Davis, chief en
gineer of the Reclamation Service.
