oly has secured refineries at Crockett and elsewhere on the Pacific Coast, and proposes to sell it's sugar throughout the West at any cost. It can well af ford to sell at cost for two years, or even at loss, to kill the beet sugar industry, for then it could renew it's trade with the trust, dividing the coun- try between the two organizations, and putting up prices as much as the traf fic would bear
 Tn addition to these purely commer- cial reasons for the impending war against Western beet sugar, Is the feud between the Hawaiian trust, including Augustus Spreckeis, the latter's father, Claus Spreckels. The older man has been quietly selling out his interests on the islands for several years, because he realized that the American people would not much longer permit few planters there to wax fat at the eX- pense of our farmers. He evidently felt that it was only a question of time be- fore the advantages that had made him so rich would be taken away by the abrogation of the reciprocity treaty. In that event he foresaw a brilliant future for beet sugar in the West, and hav- ing demonstrated the possibilities or that industry at Watsonville, is now completing what will be the largest beet sugar plant in the world at Sa linas, California.
 ITO the bad blood that had previously existed between the father and son is now added indignation among the planters ring that Claus Spreckels should have deserted them.' as they term it, and war to the knife, death to beet sugar. are the watchwords or the Hawaiian Sugar trust V

GREAT BLIZZARD
 EXPECTED IN NEW YORK
Already Traffic Is Impeded by Blind ing Snow, and Big Storm
 Is Predicted

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-Since o'clock this morning snow has been falling in this city and vicinity, and tonight a strong west wind and falling tempera- ture call forth many predictions of bliz- gard. All day there was a fog on the bay in. addition to the binding snow, and traffic on the water was impeded seri- ously. There was one serious ferryboat collision, and many accidents were mar rowly averted. The cable and elevated roads in this city and the trolley lines in Brooklyn and Jersey City kept snow blows in constant use, and were not badly impeded. The cold weather filled the city lodging houses to overfiowing last night and tonight, and many women and children who applied for. shelter were sent to the different hospitals Trains and railways terminating in Greater New York and Jersey City were delayed by the storm, but not to a great extent. The storm started like the blizzard of March l2, 1888, that tied up traffic in this city for several days.
 Weather Forecaster Dunn said tonight: .'The weather conditions have taken on a form resembling more the outline of the blizzard than any other storm that has appeared on our maps for many days"

SAYS SHE WAS TRICKED
 INTO AN INVESTMENT,
Woman Asks for Receiver for the Northwestern Transporta-
 tion Company.

TACOMA. Jan. 31.-Mrs. Emma Haskin to-day asked Judge Williamson to appoint a receiver for the Northwestern Trans portation Company, which was incor- porated two weeks ago to run steamships to and between ports in Alaska. Her ap- plfcation will be heard tomorrow, but an Injunction was issued to-day enjoin- ing the company and its officers from selling two small steamships they have already purchased.
 In support of her request for a re- ceiver, Mrs Haskin declares she was tricked into investing her money in one- sixth of the companys capital stock, on promises that her husband George Has kin. would be made the company's gen. eral manager. This promise was made, she says, by her husband, together with Lewis Levy, John Asher and Ed Heine, all prominent citizens. Haskin was duly elected manager on January 19. but nine days later, she alleges, Levy, Asher and Heine, acting as a majority of the trus- tees, revoked his appointment and named another in his stead. Being thus pre- vented from sharing in the management, Mrs. Haskin wants the company's af- fairs closed and the proceeds of it's as- sets distributed among the stockholders.
