TOO MANY LAWYERS
JUDGE GROssCUP WILL ONLY PER-
NIT ONE TO EXAMINE WITNESSES.
Rule in the Debs Conspiracy Trial
that Affords Grounds for Appeal if
Defendants Are Convicted.

CHICAGO, Feb. Judge Grosscup's rule
to permit but one attorney to cross-ex-
anime witnesses led to trouble in the con-
spiracy trial to-day and should the verdict
be against the defendants It will play
leading part in an appeal There are eigh-
teen defendants in court, represented in
groups by six different attorneys. The line
of defense between the officers of the union
and the lesser defendants, the attorneys for
the defense insist, is well marked ]. F.

morning and the court endeavored to in
force the rule, but later relented in order
to permit Mr.. Geeting to ask his questions

in the afternoon Mr.. Geeting desired to ask
question in cross-examination. The court
declared that the witnesses had in no wise

ing clients If the acts named and ne would
not allow more than one attorney for the

CIGARMAKERs' TROUBLE.
New Scale Of Wages Submitted by the
manufacturers Yesterday.

The cigar manufacturers yesterday SUBJ
mtted a new scale of wages TO their en-
ployes, which, 1t is said. does not meet
with favor. The new scale is now in the
hands of a committee of the Cigar Makers
Union, and it will be discussed at the meet
ing of the union next Wednesday night.
The manufacturers ask for a reduction in
wages of 81 to 81 thousand. This. the
workmen say, they cannot accept, for at
the present prices paid, $3.50 and So a thou
sand. 1t is all they can do to make a living
They say very few of them can make over
$12 a week, while others are working on
cheaper grades for $8 to $40 per week. The
cut and strike seems sure to result. If
the union should go out the men will prob
ably ask the assistance of other unions.
The manufacturers talk candidly about the
matter and say they cannot gay the pres
ent wages and compete with cheap foreign
cigars at profit to themselves.

FEARS OF FOREIGNERS.
Alarmed Over the Growth OF the
Sugar Industry In America.

Alarmed Over the Growth of the
Sugar Industry In Amerfca.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The European
economists are alarmed at the prospect
that the United States. the greatest sugar
country in the world. and always relied on
to absorb the surplus Eropean product. will.
at no distant date produce all of it's own
sugar. Frank Mason, United States Consul
general at Frankfort, Germany, has SUBJ
mitted to the State Department a special
report on American competition in sugar
production which is full of interesting sta
tistics on the subject. Among other things
he shows that the crop of beet sugar last
year exceeded by 100000 tons the product
of the preceding year. The production of
cane sugar has doubled in the past twenty
years, while that of beet sugar has trebled.
Careful examinations of the possibilities of
beet sugar production in the United States
have been made by European correspond
ents who show that certain districts, not
ably California and some of the more
Southerly and Westerly States will enjoy
decided natural advantages over all the
elements enter into the competitions; elm
ate, cost and fertility of land, price of the
labor and the effective economy of the ma
chinery and methods of cultivation and
sugar manufacture. In all but one--cost of
labor--the United States has the advantage.
An English correspondent shows that where
as beet growing in Germany, notwithstand-
average 5000 per acre; in California, in
spite of high wages, the net cost does not
exceed $3.50 per acre, difference of S33.07
per acre in favor of the Pacific coast.
