OXNARD URGES SUGAR BOUNTY.
Trust Magnate Thinks Subsidy Here
better Than Aid for Cubnns

Mr.. Henry T. Oxnard. the head Of the
beet sugar industry in this country, sug-
gested 70 the President yesterday the es-
tablishment of commission to investi-
gate the advisability of sugar tariff
changes.
The plan proposed by Mr.. oxnard pro-
Yides for commission to consist OF one
representative OF the beet sugar industry.
one representative of the cane sugar in
terest, one representative OF the Cuban
planters. one representative of the House
Committee on Finance. and one represent
ative Of the Committee on Ways and
Means. 1t is proposed that the commits
sion shall investigate existing conditions
and make recommendations on the results
obtained.
If it is necessary that the Cuban plant
er be afforded RELIEF in the present period
OF financial depression said to exist on the
island said Mr. Oxnard at the White
House yesterday. II do not think that
such relief should be afforded by lower
ing the tariff. A subsidy policy is the
proper course 10 pursue To stimulate
the cultivation of sugar to the exten. that
~ can De exported to this country from
Cuba advantageously. bounties should be
offered.
The planter should be offered certain
subsidy on the number of pounds OF sugar
he annually raises. This will enable the
planter to make a profit. which at present
he fails to do.
Ihts plan meets with the approval OF
Mr. Wilson. Secretary of Agriculture. OF
course, / suggest this plan only as a
measure Of relief If such relief is really
necessary. don't know that it is 1 don {
believe that the Cuban planter is any
worse of than is the beet sugar raiser. =

COURT RULE ON A KISS.
A California Judge Decision in r
Libel Case.

The demurrer to the complaint in the
libel suit OF Florence Blumenthal against
VI. f. de Young was sustained yesterday
BY Superior Judge John Hunt. The suit
was brought on account OF an article
about the discipiining of a young student
from the San Rafael High School because.
despite her resistance. he kissed Florence
BlumenthSi and carried her up some
stairs. Judge Hunt said that the libel on
the girl was supposed to be contained in
the recital that she was carried up
stairway and kissed. He continued:
The complaint alleges that the plain
tin has been exposed TO oblOquy, hatred
contempt and ridicuie. to her damage in
the sum Of S25 500 for which judgment is
prayed. The publication of the cireum-
stance that a young girl was foTeibly
kissed by a young schoolmate cannot pos
sibly iniure her good name and char
acter. AS defendants counsel has well
asked. In what manner or by what course
Of reasoning can It be claimed that one
who was the unwilling victim OF an un-
lawful assault is thereby exposed to hat
red. contempt. ridicGle or oblOquy? =

President Roosevelt is being urged by
