SENATOR ON TOUR Stock Is Fattened at Low Cost—Chileans Friendly to America—Better Embassy Quarters Needed in Latin America, Says Jones. Editor's Note—This is the third of a series of four articles by Sena- tor Jones describing his trip to and impressions of South America. BY SENATOR WESLEY L. JONES. We reached Buenos Aires promptly at 7 am. Ambassador Riddle met us and had every arrangement made to get us through the customs promptly. Ho took us to the railroad station, where we got some breakfast. I wanted some cereal, but could not make the waiter understand what it was. Finally he said, “Ham eggs,” and in desperation I said, “Yes." They usually eat nothing more than a roll and coffee or some fruit that early in the morning, hav- ing thelr breakfast in all South American countries about 11 o'clock Our train left promptly at 9 a.m and we started across Argentina to- ward the Andes. The railroad Is owned by English capital and the cars are of the English type. They are compartment cars and you are shut off from everybody else, but unless you take the whole compartment by Yourself you have a stranger in with you. They do not at all compare with our Pullman cars. 1 enjoyed the journey from Buenos Aires to Santiago as much as any other part of the trip, even though it was overland and by train. Road Free From Curves. From Buenos Aires the country is | literally as level as a floor as far the eye can see, and Is so the entire | distance from Buenos Aires to Men doza. During the daylight run there | was not a grade to climb and the train did not depart from a straight course, except for a slight jog or two in entering or going through cities. No streams were crossed, except possi- bly one or two very small rivulets. Two or three lakes were seen, one of | them probably {wo or three long. The country apparently drier as we neared Mendoza, because it was strictly arid there and crops were raised by irrigation, the water being taken from streams coming down from the Andes and evidently running into the Plata From the time we got beyond the boundary line of Buenos Aires up until dark there were cattle, literally the thousands, on each side of the railroad line as far as we cou see. I saw more cattle in that day's ride than I have ever seen in all my lite put together. Ranches or haciendas, are large—50,000, and 100,000 acres. They grow alfalfa, corn and grasses of various kinds. We saw some wheat stubble but this road does not go through the great wheat-producing section. The corn did not compare with the crop of our Middle States. What it will do with better cultivation and care I do not know. T saw quite a good many corncribs filled with newly gathered corn. 20 or 30 feet high, and look like they were constructed of cornstalks tied together in some way. I saw them only from the train, but think they are constructed this' way because of the scarcity of lumber. Cattle Fattened Cheaply. The cattle are grown and fatten largely on the pastures, and 1 was told that most of them had been fat- tened without corn or grain of any kind. The beeves that we saw in the packing houses at Montevideo were just as fat as any corn-fed beef I have ever seen in the States. From what I saw I think I can realize the diffi- culty that our cattle men must expe- rience wherever they come in compe- tition with the beef of this great country. Like Yakima Valley. We reached Mendoza at 6 o'clock in the morning. There we changed to a narrow-gage road to cross the Andes Mountains, which could be seen in the distance. The country about Mendoza is irrigated and reminded me of Yak- ima. There were some peach and pear orchards, but the popular crop is the grape. There were many very large vineyards, splendidly cultivated, and the grapes are extremely fine. The land above the ditches looks much like our dry lands and is covered with something that resembles our sage brush, or rather more like the grease wood. Our train ran in two sections, first and second class_passengers taking the first section, Pullman passengers following in the second section about an hour behind. The Pullman cars are chair cars. The chairs in ov: car were large, comfortable wickers. There is no smoking or wash room such as we have in our cars. The windows were large and easily low- ered, making the cars really observa- tion cars. There was a good dining car and meals are served on the train very much as in the hotels. They have no early breakfast, but they usually take coffee and a roll early in the morning and have breakfast be- ginning about 11 o'clock. You do not give your orders as we do on our trains. They come around and if you want breakfast they give you a ticket for the 11, 12 or 1 o'clock serving, as you prefer. They take an hour for each sitting. They don't ask you what you want. They serve you what they have. Breakfast Menu Ample. Here, In substance, is the breakfast we had on our narrow-gage road: Bread and butter, etc., radishes and onions. The first real course consist- ed of cold meats, chicken, ham, beef and stuffed eggs. The waiter brought all these on a platter and served them to you, giving you a liberal portion of each. Then came soup and clams, followed by a cornmeal and cheese omelet. The next course was fried chicken, potatoes, carrots, beans, cab- bage and cooked celery, with fried cucumbers. When we had disposed of our chicken, they brought fried veal, or in another meal fried steak, potatoes and lettuce. Dessert con. sisted of baked apples or grapes, ba- nanas or other kinds of fruit, cake, and the meal closed with black coffee. The price on the train to Mendoza miles and | ot | 000 | flelds, | The corncribs are cylindrical, | OF THE PAMPAS was 6 pesos, while the price on the narrow-gage road over the Andes was 9 pesos. If you divide this by 2.60, you will find out what it cost in American money. Of course one does not have to eat everything they bring, but it is good food, well cooked, and you try to eat it all. The people seem | to have pretty good appetites, and | even not very long after a meal of this kind they are eating a hearty dinner, served largely in the same way. | On the way back to Buenos Aires, after such a breakfast, we simply 100k in the evening a littie fruit and a sandwich, but across the aisle from was a voung lady who ordered | sandwiches and something that looked {ltke a bottle of beer. When they brought her sandwiches, she had two tiers of four ham sandwiches each or 16 pieces of bread and eight pleces | of ham. T could not resist watching to see what she did with all of them She ate them all before she quit. T would not beHeve it possible if T had | not seen her do it. And she was a young lady, too. Andes Bare of Trees. The trip across the Andes was noth- |ing like what I expected. I supposed there would be a timber growth, at leaSt part of the way up the moun- ains, but from Mendoza across the | mountains down into the plains of | Chile there was not a tree or shrub, | except where some had been planted at a station house or at a farm house on the stream that we followed to the | summit or down on the other side. There is a sage-brush-like growth until you get to the higher elevation, when "there is nothing but rock and dry soll. ¥ saw no springs along the | way and not a single rivulet coming | down any of the draws or canyons | going up and only or two on the | Chilean side. The nery is beauti- | ful. The mountains are rugged, vast and imposing. We followed a rush- ing, stumbling, foaming stream to| the summit, with towering cralgs and peaks on every side, interspersed with | buttes and cliffs that might well have | come out of the Grand Canyon of the | Clouds Hide Giant Peaks. We passed the summit at an eleva- tion of about 10,500 feet and suffered no inconvenience. here were patches of snow. The road goes near Mount Aconcagua, the highest moun- tain on this hemisphere—a little over | 23,000 feet—and near there is the second highest peak on this hemi- sphere, 22,000 feet high. It was a |little cloudy, however, as we went over and we could see neither one of | | these peaks, but coming back it was | | pertectly clear and we got as good a view from the train as could be had |of both these mountains. I am not | expressing a biased opinion when I |say that these peaks cannot compare | |in uty and grandeur with the | mountain~ peaks of the Northwest. They do not stand out so prominently s our peaks and in the mmer they are not so fully snow | |capped. Mount Aconcagua and the | | surrounding mountains - are seen | | plainly from near Santiago on clear /s, but the intervening mountains | act much from their grandeur We reached Los Andes about $:30 in the evening and changed to| the standard-gauge road and reached | Sdntiago about 11 o'clock. We \\‘ero‘ met by Ambassador Collier and taken | to the embassy. We spent two most and interesting days in Santiago. Santiago Imposing. santiago is very much like most of the other cities of South America. It has its narrow streets, magnificent buildings, beautiful parks and very imposing government buildings. Mount Sebastian is a peak about 800 feet kigh, rising from the plain in the middle of the city. On the top of it is_a magnificent statue of the Holy Virgin, with a circlet of electric lights. This at night brings out the statue from the darkness in bold relief and makes a most impressive spectacle. An automobile road winds around the jpeak almost to the top. From its summit a view of surpassing beauty greets the eye. You can see the entire city with the well cultivated farms of the country around and the snow-capped Andes in the distance. It was rather smoky or hazy when we went up, but I was fortunate enough to get to the top of the peak late in the evening and see the reflection of the sun creeping up the Andes and lingering for a moment on the summit, its rays reflected in the most gor- geous Lolors. Regard Us As Friend. The Chilean people feel very friendly to us because of the verdict in the Tacna-Arica dispute, although the President takes the very proper view of the matter. In substance he stated that he felt the decision had been made on the merits and he knew it was made not to favor Chile or against Peru but simply because the arbitrators felt that the merits of the controversy required the decisiop that was made. Of course the people do not analyze the situation that way, but simply look at the results and are accordingly jubilant. The Ambassador took Mrs. Jones and me to meet President Alessandra. We had a very pleasant time. He re- ceived us very graciously. The Am- bassador acted gs interpreter. I sup- pose he put my blunt language in diplomatic fashion to the president, because he used many more words than I did. I could not help but think of our Indian interpreters of the early days and.how it took them minutes to say what a witness expressed in a word or two. The President impressed me as a strong man. Embassy Well Housed. We have a fine embassy building at Santiago. It was purchased for about $150,000. It was a private house, palatial in size, appearance and appointments, and is especially well adapted for an embassy building, and | Robert C. | appeal | fought against returning to Indiana | his return from Ohio last month. our Government is to be congratu- lated for having such a splendid em- bassy building.

By the Associated Press. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 3.— Morton S. Hawkins, 33, former presi- dent of the Hawkins Mortgage C today stands convicted of using the | mails in a scheme to defraud. Hawkins was found guilty by Jury In Federal Court late yesterday after that body had deliberated less than fifteen minutes. Federal Judge Baltzell announced he would pass sentence next Monday. Counsel for the defense announced they would file a writ of error and the case of Hawkins, who to stand trial through the Federal Court at Cincinnati and the Court of Appeals for that district after his arrest at Dayton, Oklo, to the Circuit | Court of Appe: Chicago. where the appeals of 14 others, former di- | rectors and officers of the company | convicted under like charges, are | now pending. They were convicted in November, 1924 Whether Hawkins, who, the Gov- ernment said, sent false financial statements and other erroneous lit- erature through the mails, will be | granted bond is problematical. He has been held in jail here since among those people that could not be secured in any other way. I believe | we should have good embassy build- ings in all the leading South American countries. These people judge a country largely by what it does in this way. We have a reputation for | wealth and power, b embassy buildings| tions for our representatives impress these people very unfavorably. My judgment is that nothing would bring us better return in good will and | therwise in the long run than pro- | vision for suitable embassy buildings at Buenos Afres, Montevideo and most of the other capitals of South Amer- ica. The sooner we get a building at Buenos Aires the less we will have to pay for it. That city is growing very rapidly. Values are increasing, and what can be gotten now for half a million dollars will very likely cost us a million and a half 10 years from now. Thy ave the ever-pregent jockey club Santiago. These clubs are found in all the leading cities of South America. They maintain the race | tracks, where races are run every Sunday. No horses but those of South America participate, and they are all running races. These clubs are very prosperous and have mag- nificent clubhouses and equipment. The club at Rio is one of the finest in South America, and all of its ex- penses are defrayed by the races. We visited a cemetery in Santiago that is indeed a city of the dead There Is nothing like it in our coun- try, and Ambassador Collier says that there is nothing in Europe to equal it. Streets and avenues are lald out ith tall trees growing on each side. ing these streets and avenues are monumental and spired tombs, some large and some small, and all of vari- ous architectural designs. Looking down the streets you see what might | be taken for fantastic residences and | toy houses. You cannot describe them. The cemetery must be seen to be appreciated, but after seeing it vou cannot find words to convey to another the impression you have of it. The Chilean money was at a great discount. I converted a couple of hundred of American money into their money and felt rich. I had over seventeen hundred dollars, and a roll of bills that I could hardly get in my pocket. Most South American cur- rency is at a discount. I converted $100 into Brazillan money at Rio, and I felt almost like a millionaire. ‘We left Santlago at 5 o'clock in the evening to go to Los Andes, where we would stay all night and take the Transandine narrow-gauge train back the next morning. There was a great crowd at the station. When a South American is to take a journey many of his friends go with him to the station. It was very interesting to watch the crowds. They were happy, jolly and quite demonstrative. It was no uncommon sight to see the men throw their arms about each other and kiss each other on the side of the face. When I went into the car it seemed to be crowded, but about time for the train to start it looked like almost everybody was getting off, and when we started there was plenty of room.

KRESGE SEEKS $800,000 FROM BROKERAGE FIRM Charges Money Was Paid Under to Get Return of $2,000,000 in Securities. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 3.—Supreme Court Justice Levy today had under advisement a sult of Sebastian S. Kresge, wealthy chain store owner, to recover $800,000 which he claims he paid the brokerage firm of W. E. Hutton & Co. under duress last October to get back $2,000,000 in securities left with the brokers on| account. Counsel for Mr. Kresge said the de- fendant concern induced the plaintiff to doan them 5,700 shares of Kresge stock to save a local brokerage house from going to the wall, refusing to pay when the concern went into bank- ruptcy. No dishonesty is alleged in the complaint, he explained. The defendants contend Kresge voluntarily requested the Hutton Co. to raise the money on Kresge stock to save the threatened brokerage com- pany in which he had speculative accounts.
