FOR LOVELAND SUGAR

Denver, Dec pa Denver Repub-
lican special from Loveland says:
The first 100 pounds of sugar pro-
duced at the Loveland factory was
sold at auction Saturday and brought
the sum of $1,000.
The first pound was purchased by r.
S. Cox for 1925. L. j. Kelim bid $500
for the next pound and got it. The
bids then rapidly dropped to 500 and
finally got down to $40 at which figure
the remainder was sold.
The sack was then put up and sold
for IS, while the string found pur-
chaser at 81, while $40 was offered for
the privilege of weighing out the
sugar.
Neat glass receptacles had been Sc
cured, each holding one pound. in
which the sugar was placed. and these
will be kept as souvenirs. These have
all been placed on exhibition in the
window of the Bank of Loveland, and
each one labeled with the name of the
purchaser and the price paid.
There were 5000 acres of sugar
beets raised the past year for the Love
land factory. Contracts have been
signed for IL 900 acres the next sea-
son, with 1900 as the limit that will
be received. The additional machin-
cry to double the present capacity Of
the factory is to be in place by July

TAXES IN EUROPE.
They Are Much Higher Than They Are in
America.


People in the United States who are
gIumbiing about high taxes should find
much consolation in the knowledge
that their property is not situated in
any of the European capitals. In Ber-
lin, for example, the great American
life insurance companies are required
to invest a certain portion of their as
sets in city property, and their taxes,
which are no higher than those of 9TH
er real estate owners. amount annual
ly to more than one-third of their re-
ceipts from rentals. In Vienna taxes
are even higher. The man who owns
the building in which the American le-
cation is located divides the rent with
the government in equal shares. The
same rates prevail in other large Eu-
ropean cities.
In addition TO this the building regu-
lations are rigid, and every structure
must be fire-proof. with stone stair
cases to the top floor, double walls.
floors and roofs of steel and terra cot
ia. The front must correspond with
the adjoining buildings in height and
architectural treatment. a poor
man cannot build home in any of the
European cities. He must so into the
suburbs. Hence most of the ground
owned by individuals is leased to
building companies and capitalists

Washington, D. c.. Dec. IA deter
mination on the part of the administra-
ton absolutely to terminate further
discussion of the Sampson-Schley con-
troversy took shape in the publication
yesterday OF some remarkable cores
2ondence that has passed between Sec
.etary Root and Lieutenant General
Niles relative to the latter's interview
published in Cincinnati paper, com
nenting upon the Schiey case.
1t is seldom that SO severe repri-
nand is administered to an officer of
aigh rank in either service. What the
.esult will be cannot be forctold, al
though 1t is assumed that General
Miles will submit without further
comment
The reprimand is contained in the
following letter Of Secretary Root TO
General Miles:

Dec. 81, 1901.
"Sir:-By direction of the President

which is SO essential to the successful

on the matters in the controversy ant
a report had been made in which on,

AT this point as the lieutenant gen

a public expression of your opinion IA
between the majority and the minority
of the court, accompanied by crit
cism of n most severe character, which
could not fail to be applied by the gen
crafty OF readers to the naval otficeri
against whose view your opinion WA
expressed. 1t Is of no consequence on
whose side your opinion was, or what
it was. You had no business in the
controversy. and no right, holding the
Office which you did, to express any
opinion. Your conduct was in viola
ton of the regulation above cited and
the rules of official propriety; and you
are justly liable to censure, which
now express.

Washington, Dec. o. Secretary
Long has disposed finally of the Schley
case so far as the Navy Department is
concerned. by acting upon the findings
and conclusions of the court Of in
Quiry.
He approves ehe findings of fact
and the opinion Of the full court: he
approves the majority opinion where
there is n difference in the court; he
holds that the court could not have
entered into consideration of the
question of command at the battle of
Santiago. and, finally, he accepts the
recommendation that no further pro-
ceedings shall be had.
Secretary Long yesterday issued the
formal order dissolving the Schley
court of inquiry The order was COM
municated at once to Admiral Dewey,
president of the court, who acknowl-
edged it's receipt and said that In con-
formity with the order of the secre-
tary he had announced the dissolution
Of the court.
The secretary also has declined the
application of Admiral SIMPSONS
counsel to enter upon an inquiry into
the question of command and has noti-
fed Admiral Schley's counsel Of that
fact as a reason for declining to hear
them on that point.
Secretary Longs approval of the ma
jority report was as follows:

mony in this case, the arguments of

The Springfield herald., 1901-12-27

Great wisdom is shown in some of
the measures proposed that seek to go
to the root of anarchy. Power ought
to be given to punish anarchistic ut
terances. to break up anarchistic
meetings. to deny the right of asylum
TO anarchists, to deport others that
are here, to prevent others from COM
ing. All civilization ought to unite in
hunting out and driving out these
men. But We should take care even
in such measures that in seeking an
object SO laudable we do not infringe
the fundamentals of liberty and hurt
ourselves more than We hurt the an
archists. We may not lightly part
with the right tofree speech and free
press. We should be well advised that
measures we adopt for discouraging
anarchy really reach their purpose.

Mr.. Morgan thought that this should

recess.
G.. o. Shields, president Of the
League of American Sportsmen, recent
ly called upon President Roosevelt to
enlist his aid in securing more adequate
protection than now exists for large
game of the West. He urged that an
appropriation of $4,000 be made for
protecting wild game in the Yellow
stone national park: that the park be
extended to include the timber reserves
south and east: that the government
purchase the Allard herd of buffalo,
and that shipments of wild animals or
birds from the territories be prohibited.
As n result of the negotiations that
have been in progress between Secre-
tary Hay and Mr.. Brun, the Danish
minister. the last obstacles of sub
stance to the preparation of the treaty
of cession whereby the United States
will become possessed of the Danish
West India islands have been removed.
1t is said that the points of difference
have been adjusted in n manner to in
sure the acceptance of the treaty by
the United States senate and it is even
possible that the convention may be
laid before that body before the holt
day recess. The decision of the Su-
preme Court in the insular cases had
made easier the preparation of the
treaty on satisfactory lines, it is said.
