SUGAR BOUNTY FOR CUBA
PROPOSITION WHICH HAS BEEN SUB.
MITTED TO THE PRESIDENT.
A Commission to Investigate the Sub
ject and Report in Time for
Action by Congress-.

Representatives of the domestic sugar in
terest believe they have discovered plan
which will eventually be adopted as the
most practical solution of the commercial
relations of the United States with Cuba,
for time at least.
This plan in brief is to pay the sugar
planter a direct bounty for every pound
Of sugar he raises. This bounty to be paid
by the treasury of the United States out Of
the moneys received from import duties on
Cuban sugar.
The idea has been suggested to President
Roosevelt and has attracted his attention.
A detailed plan will be submitted to him
within few days, in order that If 1t meets
his approval he can transmit 1t to Con-
gIesS. 1t is proposed to ask Congress to
appoint a commission to thoroughly investt-
gate the condition of the Cuban sugar in
terest This committee would comprise rep
resentatives of the financial and foreign re-
lations committee of House and Senate and
representatives of the cane and beet sugars
of the United States, and would possibly
also include several Cubans competent to
speak for the sugar planters of their island.
Commission to Report in Time for
Action.
Ii is suggested that this commission could
within period of six weeks make thor
ough investigation of the subject in hand
and report in time for action to be taken
by Congress that would apply to the next
sugar crop of Cuba. A bounty of one-third
or one-half cent per pound paid directly to
the sugar planters in Cuba would, 1t is as
serted afford all the relief necessary for
that island.
1t is estimated that the sugar crop in
Cuba this year will amount to $4,000 tons.
A bounty of one-half cent per pound would
amount this year to something over 1000
O00 this is about 80 per cent of the duty
collected last year on Cuban sugar alone.
The domestic sugar interests, which are
fighting the sugar refining trusts. say that
in this way the Cuban sugar growers would
get the direct benefit of concessions to be
tariff on the import duty is reduced all of
trust They would have this bounty dis
tributed through the fiscal agents of the
government, who would ascertain the
amount of sugar grown on each hacienda
and pay thefmoney directly into the hands
of the grower.
The cane and beet sugar people in the
United States have adopted this idea with
considerable vigor, for not only does it
avoid disturbing the present tariff schedule,
but defeats the alleged purpose of the su-
gar trust to get cheaper raw material for
its refneries. Active work is now being
done during the holiday recess to put this
plan into tangible shape for executive and
congressional consideration, and the high
protectionists as well as the practical poll
ticians who have steadily opposed any
tariff legislation, will be depended upon to
give more or less support to the scheme.

HEAVY DIAMOND ROBBERY
DISAPPEARANCE OF A
CHAIN VALUED AT $500.
Had Been Shipped by Shaw d Berry
Company to New York Last
Sunday.

The loss of platinum lorgnette chain set
with two hundred small diamonds and
valued at SO, 800 was reported to the local
police department yesterday afternoon by
the jewelry firm Of Shaw & Berry Company
of 1101 F street northwest. 1t is alleged
that the chain disappeared from a package
expressed from here last Sunday night to
the firm of Joseph Frankelg& & Sons, manu-
featuring jewelers., at 6S Nassau street,
New York. The package was shipped by
the Adams Express Company.
New York detectives and the detectives
in the employ Of the express company are
working on the case. Until the matter IS
fully investigated 1t will not be known
whether the loss will fall upon the jewelry
firm or the express company. Just when
or where the theft was committed the po-
lice here do not know. Parties interested
in the case refuse to discuss the affair Mr.
Olive B. George, general agent of the Ad-
ans Express Company, Is out of the city,
and no one was duty at the express Of
flee this morning who could give any in
formation regarding the case.
The package was shipped last Sunday af-
ternoon, and yesterday the members of the
local jewelry firm ascertained from New
York that the chain had disappeared.
AT police headquarters Captain Boardman
said he knew but little of the affair, while
Detective Tyser, who had been detailed on
the case, said he did not feel at liberty
to tell what he knew. 1t Eas intimated
that the seal on the pedagogical been tam
pered with before it reachedsthe establish
ment of the manufacturing jewellers in New
York.
1t is believed by those whosare interested
in the Jewels that they have been taken
by an expert, who had probably long con-
templated such an attempfss 1t is said the
seal was broken and the package was re-
sealed, the impression being an imitation
of the firms seal, yet bearing evidence that
1t was not the genuine stamp.
The package should have been delivered
in New York Monday morning, but it was
not turned over to the firm to which 1t was
dispatched until some time during the
afternoon of that day. Members of the
firm Of Shaw and Berry Company have
been cautioned by the detectives who are
nation concerning the transaction, and
they declined to make any statement in re-
gard to the alleged theft today.

CASES LIKE MACLAY,S.

missed.

missed.
The dismissal Of Edward s. Maclay from
service in the Brooklyn navy yard, because
of his abuse of Rear Admiral Schley in the
history Of which he was author has
brought to the mind of the civil service
commission a number of instances where
persons in the government service We're dis
charged under like conditions and without
the formality of serving charges and per-
mitting a hearing.
Several years ago Milford w. Howard
was a clerk in the Treasury Department
He wrote book, "If Christ Came TO Con-
gress," which was considered Objectionable
He was discharged from the service AT
this time, however, the rules did not re-
quire that specific charges be made How
ard, who was from Alabama, was after
ward sent to Congress from his district.
In the case of Benjamin F. Smell, who
was hanged for the murder Of Lizzie Wei
senberg, a condition analogous to that of
Maclay's came before the civil service COM
mission. The question as to whether or not
charges should be preferred was discussed
at length by the members, and 1t was de
cfded that such course was not necessary.
The reasons for his dismissal were perfectly
apparent to the public and to the govern
ment.
