months on the road, longer time
than most people will have at their

tion is in danger of disappearing.
Thirteen yearly meetings report 924

merous, though the meeting itself Is
small. In ten eastern meetings the eN-

SERIES OF VIOLENT
ASSAULTS IN PUEBLO

Pueblo, Colo. Oct. 6.-(Denver News
Special. .)-Conclusive evidence is at
hand that at least two of the assaults
out of three assaults and holdup
committed on Pueblo women last
night were the work Of the same man
and the officers are of the opinion that
the whole series of crimes on girls and
women is the work of single man.
A 44-caliber Colts revolver taken
from the home of Mrs. James p. Hen
derson, who was assaulted at her resi-
dence. 1902 Arroyo avenue, last even
ing, was found this morning at the
home of Mr. Hamilton, No. s Block j.
At 2:3O this morning the police were
notified by the neighbors of the Hamil-
ton family that n white man with n
handkerchief tied round his face for
mask had forced his way into the
house. deliberately raising a window.
After ransacking bureau and secur-
Ding diamond ring and some other
property the ruflian jumped upon the
bed of one of the daughters of the
family and was choking her when her
feeble outcries aroused the household
frightening the man away. In max
ing his escape, however. the villain left
n heavy club and the revolver taken
from the Henderson house.
Within very rev minutes OIL lnlS
report came another to police head
quarters stating that man answer
ing the description of the assailant of
Mrs. Henderson, the burglar at the
Hamilton house and the man who
held up Mrs. Margaret Blair on North
ern avenue early in the evening, had
committed a criminal assault upon
Mrs J. NJ. Lackey. the wife of steel
worker living at 1896 Pine street.
In addition to the finding of the
Henderson revolver at the Hamilton
house is the further evidence leading
the police to believe that one man has
been committing all the crimes which
began four weeks ago. is that the de-
vice of a telegram to get clutches on
woman was used anly Thursday night
mt the home of w. J. Mills, sos Grand
avenue. where an attempt was made
to assault Mr.. Mills fOurteen-year-old
daughter. This man carried under his
arm Il sugar sack such as was used by
the assnilant of the little daughter of

was carried from her bed in the house

SUGAR TRUST WILL WAGE WAR
ON BEET SUGAR ASSOCIATION

full sphere in making refined sugar in
stead of raw sugar to be refined by the
trust. Independent beet sugar pro-
ducers have always made and sold re-
fined beet sugar. 1t would be putting
ones head in the lions jaw with Il
vengeance for the beet factories to
equip themselves only for the making
of raw sugars at prices to be fixed by
the trust. Besides it is an economical
blunder to perform in two operations
what can be done as well in one.
1.-The movements on the part of the
sugar trust in selling its refined sugar
far below the cost to it of the raw
material, and in the special market
which is now reached to some extent
by the beet sugar producers, cannot
but call down OH the head of the trust
the condemnation not only of the beet
sugar producers, but also of all fair
minded people in the country, and hav-
ing done this they have placed them
selves in an exceedingly poor position
to go before Congress and ask for the
perpetuation of their power as rein
ers; although they have recently ar
ranged to increase their capital stock
to the extent of $15,OO0,OOO to rivet
their control of the raw cane product.
in view Of this act on the part of
the sugar trust, the United States
Congress can i'll afford to inauguratc
the policy of reducing the present rate
of duty by reciprocity or in any other
way which would have the certain eff
feet of enrichinS the trust on one
hand and on the other the killing of
the most promising industry in the ag-
ricultural business of America"

NEW ISTHMIAN TREATY READY
ADVOCATING CLAYTON.BULWE

terway, because England already en-
ioyed certain treaty rights upon the
Isthmus. But they were decidedly un-
willing to invite other European M
tions to give their assent. Those M
| tions had no standing in the case and
it was deemed unwise to invite them
to participate in Il purely American
| affair with which they had no direct
concern.
by the terms of the new treaty the
United States may, in time of war,
deal with the canal as it deems best
for its own interests. 1t may close the
canal to the ships of its enemies, and
could. If it We're thought advisable
(Which no one believes it ever will be)
fortify the channel or its termini In
the broad sense the Isthmian water
way is to be 'all-American.' The Unit
ed States is to build it and have con-
| troll of it, unhampered by onerous re-
strictons.
Ambassador Choate will bring to
the United States draft of the new
| treaty. and President Roosevelt will
soon have it in his hands, The Presi-
dent will be able to discuss 1t in his
forthcoming message to Congress.
He warmly approves of it. 1t meets
almost exactly the principles for
which he contended n year ago. He
never opposed neutrality. providing it
did not bind the hands of the United
States in time of war. He never in
sisted upon fortifications. He never
advocated preferential tariffs.
"There can be little or no doubt that
the new treaty will be approved by
the American press and people, and
that 1t will be confirmed by the SEN
ate. During the first sixty days of
the coming session all treaty obstacles
to the passage of an Isthmian canal
bill should be removed

Chicago, Oct. 6.-The RecOrd-Herald
this morning prints the following from
Walter Wellman, its Washington cor
respondent:
"The United States and Great Brit
ain have reached an agreement con
cerning the Isthmian canal question,
and the new treaty will be presented to
the Senate for its ratification early III
the coming session"
Mr.. Wellman says: 81 am now able
to give the substance Of this treaty.
1t provides: -,
"First-For abrogatiOn of the old
Clayton -Bulwer treaty in toto.
''Second-For neutral Isthmian ca
nal, in case one be constructed by the
United States, open in time of peace
to the ships of all nations upon equal
terms.
"Third-This neutrality is guaran-
teed by the United States alone and
other maritime powers are not invited
to participate in such guarantee. Great
Britain is inferentially one of the
yuarantors, because she is Il party TO
this treaty.
.Fourth-In case of war, the United
States reserves the right to take such
steps for it's own protection as 1t may
odeem proper.
1T will be seen that the new treaty
meets the principal objections which
were offered to the old Hay-Paunce-
fote convention and which led to its
rejection by the Senate. While the
principle of neutrality is asserted. the
United States alone guarantees that
neutrality. and no European powers
are invited to give their assent t. it,
at was this feature, more than any
other, which led to the defeat of the
former treaty. Many senators We're

Sin Francisco, Oct. Accommodating
upon the reduction of the price of su-
gar ia the Missouri market by the su-
gar trust, Henry Il. Oxnard, president
of the American Beet Sugar Associa-
ton, defined 1t us another move to
crush out beet sugar production in Or
der that the trust might have no op-
position.
"If they can succeed in the Missouri
river valley" said he, they will then
turn their attention to the beet factor
les in Michigan and other sections,
and by the power Of concentrated cap
ital crush out sutcessively and indi-
vidually the beet sugar producers. The
trust tries to deceive the public by
claiming that the beet producers can
still make money ut the low price 1t
is trying to establish This is false,
and if it had been true, then the trust
would have tried to establish still
lower price. They are not sacrificing
~ cents per pound In the Missouri
river markets to make price that
will still be profitable to the beet sugar
men.
But this particular move on the
part of the sugar trust will fall hat.
The beet sugar factories will not sell
their sugar in the Missouri river valley
at 1H cents under the market when n
fraction of that ~ cents will move
their sugar to every other market in
: he United States. What the next
move of the trust will be remains to
be seen.
1.-The trust also attempts to justify
its action by insinuating that the beet
factories have gone out Of their right
