WERE THEY ALL SUGARED? ?n
A letter Which Opens Up Wide
Field for Conjecture,

The sugar refiners of the East are here In
force to protect themselves against the enact
ment of the clause In the Tariff bill relating to
sugar. They are opposed to the polariscoplc
test, and claim that Duncan +. Kenner, the
tariff commissioner from Louisiana, worked
solely IN the interest of the planters Of the
South. There is q great deal OF truth In this.
Mr.. John Dymond, of New orleans, was
tion Of Mr.. Kenner, to present the case of the
Louisiana sugar interest before the Tarln
Commission. The following letter, which was
sent by Mr.. Kenner to the secretary of one Of
the sugar organizations Of the South, explains

PREPARING FOR WORK
Under the New District ApprOpria.
tiORu BisI

Inspector Entwislo has directed the little
force connected with his Office to dispose as
rapidly as possible OF whatever business that
has accumulated during tho busy seasons OF
summer and autumn, so that the work pro-
vlded for In the District Appropriation bill
may BIO taken up Immediately upon the flnal
passage of the bill.
An Important and sensible change In the
present bill from those of former years Is the
time prescribed for the erection of school
buildings. Heretofore tho contracts were en-
tered into on October / and tho buildings re-
quired to be finished by the following July.
Under this rule the buildings were only half
completed at midwlnter, and when tho sever
ity OF the weather prevented outdoor work the
buildings were not in condition for
Interior work. The pending bill prescribes
that buildings shall be begun on October and
finished by January of the following year.
The length OF time is the same, but the ad-
yantages of the change are manifest. The
building begun In October Is built I'm the most
favorable season; by the opening Of winter
the structure as under roof and the work
which the cold would interfere with is finished,
and nothing remains but the work
on tho Interior, which can still be pur-
sued. In addition to this the heating appa-
ratus can at once be tested, while with q
building finished in July the heating appa-
ratus must remain untested until the cold
weather is reached. In addition TO these re-
suits the building Is finished In time to be
occupied.at the opening Of the year and thus,
according to the terms Of schoolleases, six
months rent is sometimes saved.

Suicide by Shooting.

Joseph shudler, a German, about 80 years
old, committed suicide yesterday afternoon at
the st. Charles Hotel. He came to that place
about ~ o'clock Monday night and asked for
q room. saying that he was from Baltimore, a
stranger IN the city and had but forty cents
For that price they gave him room In the top
story. He stayed there all night, and, getting
Near l o'clock the lady In the room immedi-
ately beneath heard noise, but, thinking 1t
was the plaster falling, forgot TO speak of It,.
When the servant went to clean the room at A
o'clock she found Shudler lying dead on the
floor, with a pistol In his hand. He had re-
moved all his clothes except his undershist
and pants, and, standing before the looking
glass, had shot himself through the right
temple, dying probably instantly.
When found he had evidently been dead
several hours. He Is not known here, and
was probably driven TO the act by destltutlon.

Total


This table shows that Mr.. Ran In n period OF
elk months presented 205 cases In which con-
victions were secured and fines imposed This
was at an average rate of forty-nine cases per
month OF decidedly more than one case per
day.
IN addition to this MIR. RAN was the prime
mover in the recent raids on the lottery and
policy shope, which added several thousand
dollars TO the District revenues, and he has
succeeded In collecting thousands of dollars
OF delinquent personal taxes.
This report speaks for itself as showing the
indefatigable and invaluable services Of this
energetic official, who, while receiving an al.
most nominal salary, Is constantly contrlbut
ing more to the revenues Of the District than
any other half-dozen men In Its employ. 1t Is
understood that the Commissioners Will no
longer turn n deaf ear to Mr.. Ran's applica-
tion for wellearned promotion, as 1t is the
universal desire of the leading merchants and
best citizens that he be given q salary in pro-
portion to his active, able and successful Of.
