CHANCE FOR CAPTAIN READ.
Friends Of the Plttsburser Confident
of Securing vlndlcatIon In
the Higher Courts.

Washington, Aug. 2.-The friends
of Captain J. G. Read, OF Pittsburg,
who is serving a sentence In Manila
for completely in alleged commissary
frauds, have decided to contest to
the court Of last resort his convic-
thn. and are sanguine that the result
will be an honorable acquittal OF the
Pittsburger. With the arrival OF the
records Of the court martial the
friends of Captain Read were enabled
to make an exhaustive examination,
and as q result Secretary Root has
been asked to review the case. He
has promised to do so.
The case has been placed In the
hands Of James H. Hayden, q promi-
nent lawyer, and when seen by the
writer he was absolutely confident
that Captain Read had been illegally
convicted and that he was entitled to
an honorable acquittal. Mr.. Hayden
has prepared lengthy review Of the
case and in few days will lay 1t be-
fore the Judge advocate general, who
will prepare a reply. Then the case
will be brought before Secretary Root
and arguments will be submitted.
On the question Of illegal convic-
tion the brief charges that the court
which tried Captain Read was not
only improperly appointed, but was
Illegally constituted.
Regarding the evidence taken the
brief points to the fact that there was
not syllable showing that Captain
Read ever profited from the frauds to
the extent Of one penny in money or
one pound in material This was con-
ceded by the prosecution.

It is the policy Of the ministers to

recommended stronger defenses than
the ministers will sanction. Major
Edgar b. Robertson, Of the Ninth in

States legation guard, wrote to Mr..
Rockhill to protest against what he
calls "the defenseless position Of our

much money was collected through
lotteries. gambling and general taxes.
But they were never satisfied. There.

The death Of Harry G. Mason, who
was speaker of the house of represent
atiyes during the session of 1878,
takes from the field of politics one
of the most noted characters that ever
appeared in Ohio. considering his age
and the brevity Of his career. He was
elected speaker Of the house by the aid
of the Democrats, who united with the
antiHanna element. During the ses-
sion, he had the bitter opposition Of
the rabid Hanna element, led by Rep
Tesentative Boxwell. whom he defeated
for speaker, His policy was to allow
his enemies all the license they want
ed In the earlier days of the session,
and this was carried out to the letter.
Boxwell and his immediate followers
carried their animosity to such an ex-
tent that the great mass Of the Re-
publicans became friends OF Mason
and advised him to sit down on Boxwell

An infirmary is not penal institu-

should be shown to the unfortunate in
mates Of the infirmary. They have
committed no offenses,,' Their only
crime is poverty. Some Of them have
relatives who ought to be caring for
them, which adds to the sadness Of the
situation. These people are the charges
of the county. Funds are supplied to
maintain the institution. If it were
not the will Of the people that they be
properly cared for the funds would not
be provided. Any official who makes
life more burdensome for the infirmaiy
inmates should have little standing
among the people.

SUGAR TRUST DECLARES WAR.
Competition of Beet Men Drives the
Combine to Action.

NEW YORK. Oct. 4-The war de-
clared upon the Western beet sugar COM
panies yesterday when the American Su-
gar Refining Company cut the price of
granulated 10 3 IL cents per pound at
Missouri river points, was the chief topic
of conversation today in trade. The next
move is awaited with interest.
II was pointed out that the step taken
by the American Sugar Refining Com
pany was fully justified in order TO pro-
tect its own interests. Instead of con-
fning their operations TO growing sugar
beets and manufacturing the raw sugar.
the beet sugar people have deliberately
extended their operations TO the refining
of their own raw sugars. This of course
made them direct competitors of the
American Sugar Refining Company. and
every barrel of sugar they sold reduced
the production of the trust in the aggre-
gate.
According to an expert. it costs the
beet sugar growers about 3 cents per
pound TO produce refined sugar for
which they realize about 40 cents ner
pound. Even at the new price of 3 1-2
cents made by the trust there is still a
profit for them of about a cent a pound.
What the next move of the trust viii
he is not known. but it is believed that
further cuts will be made il necessary to
reduce this competition to the minimum.
