BEET SUGAR VS.. FLOUR
Interests of the Greater Being Sac

Correspondent OF a New York Paper
Thinks Tawney Is Injuring
His own State.
Masv York Sem .SpscEas !Sapvsea4

Washington March 10.-Members of the
house who have allied themselves with
the beet sugar interests are having hard
time explaining their motives. For in
stance, Mr.. Tawney of Minnesota, has
been one of the most outspolen opponents
Of President Roosevelt's policy of COM
mercial union between the United States
and Cuba. Curiously enough, too,/ Mr..
Tawney has been willing to tax the peo-
pie to pay a rebate to the republic Of
Cuba, but he is entirely unwilling to vote
for reciprocity, in which his own state
would be one of the greatest gamers.
When the figures of the last census are
examined it is difficult, to say the least,
to understand Mr.. Tawney's action, which
seems to be perversely antagonistic to
the interests of his own commonwealth
Beet Sugar Il Minor Interest.
He is willing to pay rebate or bounty,
but is opposed to d reciprocity in spite
of the fact that Minnesota is the greatest
flour center in the world while it's beet
sugar interests are, to say the least, in
significant.
The last census reports, prepared under
the direction Of a distinguished citizen OF
Minnesota, show that in 1890 there were
eleven sugar factories in the state. The
capital employed was only $156,945, or an
average of $14,2 6S each The total product
Of all the beet sugar factories of Mime
sofa was only $605, 603 The employees
Of the beet sugar factories Of Mime
of these twelve were women, so that Mr.
Tawney has been defying the last wishes
of President Mckinley and the first mes
sage to congress of President Roosevelt
for less than four score employees, one
fifth of whom were women.
Cuba's Need of Flour.
Cuba raises no wheat and must import
all it's flour. Mr. Tawney's own state has
512 Touring mills with an aggregate cap
ital of $24,125,7S1 and total product Of
$S3,S77 ,709. These flour mills employed
1855 persons, Of whom lat were women.

BURGLAR BECAME DESPERATE
Attempted Criminal Assault Upon
Resident of TenderIoin.

With robbery as his object an uni
Identified man, supposed to be a negro
burglar who has been working unsuc-
cessfully for some time in various parts
of the city, forced his way into room
in the Tenderloin district early Sunday
morning and attempted a criminal as
sault. The woman was badly bruised
and choked by the marauder.
Less. than half an hour later probably
the same man attempted to burglarize
Morse's grocery store on East Broad
and Liberty strets, but was frightened
away before he had got in, In neither
case did the man get anything, and the
two women who saw him in the Ten
derloin would not be able to identify
him. The police say they have never
been able to get an accurate descrip-
ton of the man or to find anyone who
would be able to identify him if he We're
caught They claim, too, that he has
never secured any plumber in his
prowls, and without clew of any sort
they are poWerleSS.
Immediately after the mans escape
from the Tenderloin house telephone
message was sent to police headquar-
tiers and an investigation was made,
but no trace of the burglar could be
found. He entered by breaking open
a gate in the yard and by pushing a
window up in a back parlor with an
ak. He went noiselessly to the second
floor and entered the woman's room
by way of a shed and through a WIN
dow that had not been securely fast
ened. There was a fire in the room
and light was burning. The occu-
pant of the room had placed her jew
oil on
within touch Of the man he did not
take it.
While his first object was unques-
tionably robbery. he changed his mind
after entering the room and viewing
the surroundings. The light was
turned out and the room enveloped in
darkness. The woman said she was
aroused from her sleep by
some one and that when
she attempted to scream
he throttled her. She finally made her
self heard and another inmate of the
house rushed to the room. With this
the man escaped through the open win
dow.
In less than half an hour the effort
was made to enter the grocery store
with an AK. A window on the yard
was pushed down and the man got in
the kitchen. He managed to open a
door leading from the kitchen into a
hall and was at work on the door en-
tering the store when heard by Mrs.
Morse who sleeps on the floor above
The burglar was using the ak and at
Mrs. Morse's cry from upstairs he
dropped the ak and made his escape.
The AK was turned over to the police
and was yesterday identified as the
property of persons residing in a house
adjoining the grocery store.

SCHLEY OFF TO WASHINGTON.
Admiral and His Wife Greatly
Pleased with Savannah
Cemetery.


Admiral and Mrs. Schley, after. ten
days in Savannah during which they
were feted as the guests of the city and
entertained by friends and rela tives,
left yesterday afternoon at 1:55 o'clock
by the Southern Railway for Washing
ton. While in Savannah they were the
guests of Gen. and Mrs. w. w. Cor
don, who spared themselves no pains
for the pleasure of their visitors.
That the host and hostess were sue
cessful in their efforts to please their
visitors was attested by Admiral Schley
himself, who said at the Plant System
station, just as his train was on the
point of departure, that he had enjoyed
his trip to Savannah hugely and that
he hoped that he might sometime re-
turn. He expressed his appreciation of
Savannah and Savannahians, saying
that he had found no hour of his stay
dull, but that, on the contrary every
one had been fraught with the greatest
possible enjoyment.
At the train to see the Admiral and
Mrs. Schley off were Gen. Gordon and
Mr.. Julian Schley. At the residence
of Gen. Gordon quite a number Of
those who had met Admiral and Mrs.
Schley during their stay called to bid
them goodbye during the forenoon,
and there were several present to wave
their adieus as the carriage conveying
the party to the station was driving
away.
Washington was the destination of
Admiral and Mrs. Schley. Mr.. Rayner
the admirars attorney, is to submit
to him there this morning the copy
of the appeal of the admiral to the
President. II was absolutely neces-
sary, the admiral declared, for him to
be back at Washington for this pur-
pose to-day. and it was this necessity
which compelled him to decline further
invitations that were extended him to
pay visits in Georgia.

that Washington was a rebel in reality.
Successful rebellion is patriotism, and
defeated patriotism is rebellion" said
Judge Twiggs. The remarks of the
orator received unstinted applause and
he received the hearty congratulations
of his comrades at the close of his ad-
dress.
Capt. Louis c. Young, first vice presi-
dent. presided at the meeting and in
troduced the orator Of the evening. In
explaining the reason of the brief ses-
sion and in introducing Judge Twiggs.
Capt. Young said:
Revering as we do our great South
ern leaders and also wishing as far as
in us lies to influence our youth to
reverence them, it is our custom to Gel
citrate their birthdays. The 18th of
January, 1907, gave birth to the most
illustrious soldier of modern times, per
haps of all times, and we are here TO
do honor to his memory and to point
to his virtues as a light to guide.
Last year we kept this anniversary
chiefly with song and feast. Alas! to-
night there is no music in our souls,
no merriment in our thoughts. The
spirit of him who was wont
to be the life of our gather
ings has been called to
higher sphere, and we mourn him with
feeling too deep for aught save serious
thoughts and words The sense of loss
is so keen. that some have wished to
pass over this celebration, but the
spirit of Robert Falligant calls to us
not to neglect the homage due to the
memory of Robert e. Lee. He would
wish his great captain to be held up to
the youth of the land as an example,
and to this end We have invited you
TO listen to an address by one of our
comrades. who was a gallant soldier in
our incompatible army, and whose
ability at the bar has made him IA
nous throughout the state. The orator
of the evening is our eminent fellow
citizen. Hansford d. D. Twiggs.'
