SUPT. BRAOKhTI's REPORT.
He Submits His Annual Report to tn
Police Commission and Makes Many
Important Recommendations.

The first annual report of W. Nj.
Brackett, superintendent Of the Minnie
apolis police force, which was submit
ted to the police commission Monday,
January q, was approved by that body,
and presented to the council the follow
ing Friday. Though largely statistical,
vet The the summaries and recommen-
dations Of the superintendent, who has
examined carefully into these vital mat
tiers. are worthy of general attention.
AS to the recommendations of the
superlntendent the FIRST is in regard to
the insufficient number of officers to
properly guard the city. He SAYS that
there are miles of streets in the city
never visited by police officers unless
especially summoned. Additional pat
rolmen TO the number Of fifty are re-
CURED to give adequate protection to
all points IN the city. In the language
of the superintendent
Minneapolis has with almost miracul-
Gus rapldity, developed from village
Of 8 few thousand to one OF the leading
cities of the West. Compared with
other cities of like development, it has
as rule been an orderly and la s-abid-
ing community. Hence the police de-
partment has been so far ignored by
the government authorities that 1t has
fallen far behind the other administra-
tive departments of the municipality.
But. Notwithstanding these facts. there
is a general impression prevailing IN
tho community that the expenditures
for police protection are onerous and
extravaganza. A careful considerat ion

The Sugar Industry.

State Sugar Inspector kellogg has
presented his annual report to the Agri-
cultural Department. He said:
The great hindrance to the success of the
sugar industry in Kansas at the present time
is the lack of skilled operatives. There are
numerous points in the State where we have
the soil to grow a crop of cane of unexceled
quality, and a sufficient water supply to
operate with. We have we'll constructed
plants, but if all other conditions are COM
piled with and the necessary skilled opera
tiyes and wise management be lacking the
business will be a failure. There is in Kan
sas to-day demand for such labor far in
excess of the supply. In view of these facts,
while there is much of announcement for
the future of our sugar industry, it would, in
my opinion, be injudicious to build addi-
tiOnal factories, except in such cases where
all the conditions are favorable.
Speaking of the Adamson roasting
process, Inspector Kellogg says:
This year witnessed the first Iattempt to
manufacture sugar by this process on an ex-
tended scale. Whatever may be done in the
future, it is fact that up to the present time
this process has not been demonstrated to
be success on a commercial basis. While
there is sufficient merit in the process to
Justify further experiment, in our judgment
it would be unwise for the people to vote
bonds for additional plants at this time. Let
the plant at Mnneola experiment further
with what aid can be obtained from the gem
eral Government and the State bounty and
demonstrate to the satisfaction of the people
that the process is worthy of support before
voting additional bonds.

FORMER ARRESTED.

The Defaulting Treasurer of Riley Countys
Kan, Arrested ut Memphis, Tenn.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Jan. 15.-JameS
III. Fortner, the defaulting treasurer OF
Riley County, Kan, was arrested here
yesterday and is held to await the
arrival of the sheriff from th&S county,
VINO had pursued him to st. Louis.
Fortner, in company with woman,
arrived on the steamer City of Cairo at
two O'Clock. A police officer, in
obedience to a telegram from the
sheriff, boarded the boat, but it was
some time before he found the fugitive,
who was travelling under the name of
James Madison.
AS the officer was about to leave the
boat he saw man emerge from state
room who he thought answered the de-
scriptiOn of FORMER.
The officer met with a decided bluff
at first, but it did not work and Fort
ner asked him to go back to the state
room. He did so and moment later
in came the woman who, FOrtner said,
was his wife. She cried and protested,
but finally both weakened.
FortnerwaS taken to police headquart-
ers and locked up. He had about $500
in bills and check for small sum.
The prisoner refused to talk further
than to acknowledge that his name
was Fortner; that he had been treas
urer of Riley County three years, and
that he was accused of being an embeZ-
zler of $780, which he denied.
Fifteen minutes later the woman
drove up in a carriage and she and
FORMER talked for some time. She
left the station ostensibly for hotel
but was driven to tie Iron Mountain
depot and left for st. Louis at five
o'clock.
The woman is about thirty years ole, "a
handsome brunette eXquisitely dressed.
Fortner acknowledged that she is not
his wife.
Last night Chief Davis received a
telegram to hold the woman as she was
implicated in the steal.
FOrtner will leave in the charge of
the sheriff for Manhattan tonight.

some time past there has been trouble
between the union glass-blowers and
the apprentices employed at the Pough-
keepsie glass works. When the works
started up in October after the summer
vacation the union men refused to re-
turn to work because of reduction in
wages, and the company has ever since
had apprentices and non-union men at
work. Saturday evening a party of
union men got into street fight with

which Eugene Morgebroyd, nom
