PURLIC CAN INSPECT
 CITY HALL AT NOON TODAY

ted, it being decided to hold in reserve for the present all space not actually in use
 The question of numbering and letter. ing the different offices was discussed and it was decided to have metal plates put on the doors bearing the name of the official inside. Thus the Mayors of flee will have a plate bearing the one word Mayor" This idea was adopted in stead of having the name painted on the glass door so as to allow the officials to change offices if necessary without the expense of changing doors or removing the glass from a door. When an official changes quarters all he will have to do is to get a screwdriver and unscrew his plate and carry it with him. It will be almost as easy as carrying visiting card in the pocket.

Today at noon the new city hall will be open and ready for business. By that time all the city officials will be installed in their new quarters and will have had time to arrange their offices. All except Mayor Drennen moved in on Monday and the Mayor will move in early this morn- Ing.
 The public is invited to call and in- spect the building today. It is possible there may be music by the band to greet them. although this has not been officially determined. It is understood that some members of the city hall com mittee favor the idea and others think 1t will be extravagant.

GROWERS OF CANE WOULD GET BENEFIT Hugh Kelly Gives Testimony on Sugar Tariff Reduction PRICES HAVE BEEN TOO LOW For This Reason He Asserts That Gull tivaton of Cane Has Not Been 7 Profitable to the Peo-
 pie of Cuba.
PRICES HAVE BEEN TOO LOW

Washington, May 13.- Hugh Kelly or New York. extensively interested in Gu bun sugar growing, was before the Sem at committee on relations with Cupa lo- day. He asserted that the sugar growers would be the beneficiaries of any reouc- tion that was made in the duty by the United States. He said the refners ooulu not control the price and the sugar mlil owners would not benefit from the reouc- ton, except in cases where they o"heu inc lands. He showed that many Amer jeans owned sugar lands in Cuba, put declared that few options were now ac- eepted by Cubans, because they wanted 10 make sales outright if at all. He said sugar growing had not been profitable of late because of the low prices Of the product and the high price of labor work' ,ingmen receiving a dollar day in gold :. Possibilities of Production.
 He discussed at some length the possi bilities of sugar production in Cuba. Sen ator Platt read a letter from General Wood giving the last sugar crop of 75O'OVc tons instead of S3o, 900 tons, according to a previous estimate. Of this amount l6O'- GOO tons had been shipped from Cuba"
 MT. Kelly gave the names of large American companies which are produc- ing sugar in Cuba, giving the aggregate daily maximum capacity of their mills at 14O tons, distributed as follows;
 Chapara 300, Francisco 12O, Boston 1SO, Central Teresa 12O, Solidad 100, Trinidad 100, Cuban-American 120, Damuji 15O, Cape Cruz 120 Hormiguero 10O
 These figures did not, however, show the actual output of the factories. This, he considered, did not exceed S4,0OO tons annually, or about 10 per cent of the year ly product. He thought there were about 175 mills in the island. MT. Kelly reiterat- ed that every dollar would go to the farmer from reduction of the American duty on sugar. Most of this benefit would go to the tenant farmers or colonos.
 Cane Growers Would Be Benefited.
 In support of his contention that cane growers would be the beneficiaries of a reduction, Mir Kelly instanced the condi- tions in Porto Rico, where, he said. cane is worth three times as much as in Cuba The witness said that latterly the pro- duction of sugar in Cuba had not been profitable. Mir. Kelly argued that the Cuban sugar planters would be able to hold their product until the refiners would have to buy 1t and that time must neces- sarily come soon.
 Mir. Kelly said the production of Cuban sugar could be increased to 2,500000 tons with favorable labor conditions. Free trade between the United States and Cuba would mean trade of $500 900, 900 each way annually.
 DO you believe" Senator Teller asked that the United States could com pete with Cuba in the production of sugar on the free list?'
 T am not engaged in sugar production in the United States. I only know the beet sugar princes, the Oxnards, an- nounced some time ago that they were in position to so compete"

 Jasper's population has increased some 300 or more during the last two years. I am told there Is not a vacant house in the town. The hotels and boarding houses are likewise full. Indeed, there is an era of prosperity about 1t largely in excess of that seen in most of the old towns of Alabama.
