ABIDFOR PERSONAL POPULARITY
So CIeveland's Reference to Sugar
Is Termed.
BY President Havemeyer, of the Trust,
wha Says the Action Proposed Would
Ce Death Blow to the Industry.

BY President Havemeyer, of the Trust,
Ce Death Blow to the Industry.
New York, December 3.-President
H.O. Havemeyer, of the American Sugar
Refining Company, this afternoon was
asked to give his view of Preident Cleve-
lands reference to the sugar schedule
in the message to Congress today, in
which the President favors striking out
the differential duty on refined sugar.
Mr.. Havemeyer expressed himself: IF
anyone will fairly and dispassi onauely
consider the Presidents recommendation
about sugar, it will become apparent
that it comes down to this: The sugar
company has taken action, the result of
which is to deprive temporarily Of work,
25, 600 persons employed in various in
dustries dependent upon the refining of
sugar, together with members of their
families. I recommend such action as
will deprive those persons of work per-
manently. If theaindustry is languish-
ing the proper course is to destroy it."
There are some things which can be es-
ta blished to the demonstration that the
comparison of duty put by thestariH bill
upon the various articles will showsswhile
the maximum protection accorded su-
gar is five percent, other and more fav-
ored articles receive protection up to 40
and SO per cent. Why this discrimina-
tion should be made against a large
mum Der OF personsswho bold the stock Of
the company. .ands are employed in its
refineries, it is impossiblest say. They
protest against it. An answer to this
protest in the Presidents message is, as
present protection is inadequate it ought
to be removed altogether. Reasonable
legislative aid requires the sugar in
dustry shall be treated as other import
ant industries. 1T this is done, the in
dustry need not languish. Thousands of
discharged workmen will have remuner-
ative employment. The country has al
ready pronounced it's Judgment upon the
mode in which the last Congress dealt
with the interests of workmen. The
President apparently has, not learned the
lesson. 1t ought not to require much
time for the workmen to appreciate the
fact that the President, in his bid for
personal popularity is willing to strike
a death blow at their interests.

KEPT OPEN SUNDAY.
THIS CHARGE PREFERRED AGAINST
A DOZEN sAlooN.kEEPERs.
An Efrectuai Raid by the Police-Cases
VIII Probably he Heard
To-Day.

on Saturday Major John Poe. Chief OF
Police issued orders to his fahhfuls TO
see TO Il that the saloons OF Richmona
kept both their front and their SIDE
doors closed on Sunday last Just now
well the subordinates OF the veteran OF
the Mexican war executed his injunction
was seen yesterday, when they reported
to him the names OF twelve barkeepers
whose houses they alleged were open on
the aforesaid Sabbath. This was the
greatest raid the Richmond police had
made in years. and the Major felt some
what proud Of the manner In when ms
men had carried out his Instructions A
a result OF this II WAS almost Impossible
for a languid pedestrian TO get "bracer
during the afternoon and evening of the
Iast-departed Sabbath. The news OF the
raid spread rapidly. and there was a
disgruntled look upon the faces OF many
who on previous Sundays were merry
under the falling breezes OF electricians
and the invigorating influences OF the
cool beverages which were then obtain
able.
TAKEN BY SURPRISE.
The police manoeuvred very skilfully
and quietly their little scheme, and the
results tell quite plainly how success
fully they succeeded. Here are the names
Of those reported TO the Chief Of Police:
Charles Onesty. ll2 west Broad street.
Cornelius Corrigan. us west Broad
street.
Alexander Pratesi. 1903 Brook avenue.
William G. Rhodes. els west Main street.
A. J. Davis COS west Main street.
Lewis Belts. zoe east Broad street.
Henry l.. FuCher. 3l2 east Broad street.
John Onesty, Seventh and Marshall
streets.
William NJ. Monroe, 1890 east Franklin
street.
philip G. Kelly, 1903 east Franklin
street.
Joseph Donati, 2ll6 east Main street.
Andrew Girolami, Fifteenth and Frank
lin streets.
Henry siegel. 30 north Seventh street.
Thomas McCullock.
The most extensive swoop was made In
the Thr1-Captain ce's-Distrct
where FIVE saloOnists were reported. Six
charges are only Of having the par
rooms open on Sunday. while the others
are of keeping the places open and selling
liquor on Sunday
WHAT THE CHIEF SAID.
When Major Poe was seen by Dispatch
reporter yesterday afternoon, and asked
what was the cause Of the action taken
by the police. that official said that Rich
mOnd was one Of the quietest, most law
abiding cities in America. and that IL
should be kept so. Further than this the
Chief would not talk
The policy. adopted to catch the saloon
fists was TO detail a number OF officers
in citizens dress to look out for the side
doors. These policemen, seeing their op-
portunity to do so, walked into the bar
rooms and notified those In charge that
they would be reported. This Is rather a
departure from the old manner of re-
porting the proprietOrs OF the rum-shops
who violated the Sunday laws.

down counterfeiters.
SOME CRITICISM HEARD.
There is criticism in some quarters OF
the Presidents action in employing gov
| eminent detectives, who are paid for sup
| pressing cOunterfeiters. instead OF pri-
| vate detectives but this Is explained by
| his desire to obtain the best men possible
| ~ guard Mrs. Cleveland. Ruth, and
| Esther.
| Two daily reports are prepared by tho
| detectives One is submitted 20 Mr.. Thur
| Der and by him presented 10 the President
and the other goes to the chief of the
| Secret Service The reports tell of thu
| places visited 10y the different members
| OF the family. the names OF The d tectives
| who followed them, and Of circumstances
| which occurred. If any. or II any suspi-
| cious characters have been observed
| lounging around in the vicinity Of the
| Gables.
The President Is therefore fully advised
of what is going on at BuzzarTs Bay
and it is believed that the anxiety he has
| felt will wholly disappear now that his
| family is so well guarded.

FROM HINTON TO RtDFORD.
Projected Railroad to Connect the Two
Points-Exteusion of Wafer Works.

EAST RADFORD. VA, August 6.-(Spe-
cial)-Mr. James r. McCreery, of West
Virginia, has been in Radford for several
days in the interest Of projected railroad
from Hinton. W. Va. on the Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad. to point on the Nor
folk and Western, but after looking over
the ground he has concluded that il would
be better to extend the line from Hinton
up New river TO Radford. a distance of
IS miles. running right along the river
through the bottom lands a greater part
of the way. From Radford the line TO
Mt. Airy, n. c.. the present terminus
of the Yadk.n Valley railroad. would be
a good grade and easily built. This rail
road would open up vast coal and iron
fields, and would be OF inestimable adj
vantage to this section. Radford would
then have a competing line. and give
direct communication with Pittsburg and
other points North. while 1t would open
up a section of country heretofore unde-
Veloped and reach the southern seaports.
Enterprises could then be induced to
build plants and develop the country.
while as IL Is. with one road. they are
loath TO take hold.
Misses Sophia Roberts and Mildred
Pamplin, who have been summering at
Asbury Park. n. j.. have returned home.
Dr. II. Bruce james. who has been a
popular physician here for the past three
years, has gone TO Danvlle, Va. where
ne will be associated with his brother.
Colonel John G. Crockett. one of the

cidentally shot himself through the foot
at his farm. in West Virginia. He was
brought home Friday and is improving
