CASE OF MISS LEE GIVES
 JIM CROW LAW SETBACK

to keep all but the boldest within their places, in spite of federal encourage ment, it was determined to find relief from local conditions beyond the Vir- ginia border.
 A condition was thus created that ex- ists nowhere else. If the darky enters the car here in the District he Is en- titled to any seat he finds vacant, but after travelling a few blocks crossing the Potomac river he Is compelled to change his seat if he has thrust himself among the whites and find accommodation in that part of the car reserved for his race. On the other hand, if he begins his journey at the other end of the line in Virginia territory, he Is assigned to place among his own people at the start and can only gratify his ambition to mingle with the whites after the long bridge has again been crossed and the car is near the end of its journey. As the line upon which this unhappy incl dent occurred Is no longer than the av- craze city street car line. 1t will be seen that there are conditions surrounding it that could not be found elsewhere.
 While this primarily was the cause of the trouble, 1t is to be borne in mind that Miss Lee was totally ignorant of any such law. and had to deal with a conduc- tor who was not only rude but whose conduct toward her warranted his dis charge. That the average Washington conductor is inclined to be a boor has been repeatedly illustrated of late. The case in which Senator Money of Missis- sippi figured n5iy few weeks ago will serve as an example. They do not treat their passengers with the courtesy that is exacted and freely given, further south and this was undoubtedly the cause of all the trouble.

BEET SUGAR TRUST
 STILL HOLDS WHIP
(contlnued from First Page)

site view. speaking for the beet sugar ad- voc ates. He contended for the regularity from a Republican and from a protective standpoint of a position of the sugar men. He said he was not opposed to do- ing something for Cuba, but they did not believe it was necessary to reduce the tarin for that purpose, or if necessary to take that step; that the entire burden should fall on the one industry of farm ing. He argued that the beet sugar men were the real protectionists.
 Speeches were also made by Senators Elkins Mitchell and Dietrich in opposf- tion to the measure
 Senator Spooner made a conciliatory speech, urging the importance of the Re- publlcans agreeing, if possible. and ex- pressing the opinion that American in dustries would not be injured by the small concession it was proposed to grant to Cuba, and intimating that 1t would meet demand that something be done for the republic.
 The other beet sugar Senators ex- pressed themselves much in the same unalterable opposition to the reciprocity bill.
 The discussion continued until the con- ference adjourned at 10:45 to meet again on the adjournment of the Senate on Friday afternoon.
 No conclusion was reached but the opinion was expressed, even by those who would vote for a reciprocity bill, that there was little possibility of pass ing such a measure at this session of Congress. The seventeen beet sugar Senators present each made a speech, saying that he would not support the Spooner bill or any measure of that character. Statements were made by Senators Simon of Oregon and Mason of Illinois, who attended the conference but left early, to the effect that they thor oughly agreed with their colleagues in opposition to the reciprocity bill.
 It Is understood to be the purpose of the Senators still favoring reciprocity to consider what, if anything. can be done before the conference meets again by which they can secure the cooperation of the beet sugar Senators.

NAVAL OFFICERS
 BADLY TREATED Court of Inquiry Makes Report
 on Venice Trouble.
A M E ERICANS HUMILIATED
Crowd Attacked Them While Under Arrest and Police Did Not Pro- tect Them-Courtmarta
 Would Be Farce.

London June 1S-The text of the find of the United States naval officers im- prisoned at Venice in the latter part of April throws 8 new and important light on the affair. It now appears that the United States consul at Venice, Henry A. Johnson, and. the lawyer provided by him for the defense, urged the officers to plead that they were violently drunk. This they utterly declined to do.
 Rear Admiral Crowninshield, command ing the European squadron, in reviewing the findings of the court severely cen sures Captain James H. Dayton, com mander of the Chicago, for not personally attending to the defense of the officers, and comments on the ''revolting indig- nlties' suffered by the officers while confined at Venice Under the circurn- stances, Admiral Crowninsheld holds, "a courtmartial would be farce.'
 Movements Traced.
 Captain Daytons court of inquiry mi nrtely traces the movements of the of- ficors of the Chicago on the day of their arrest, and says Lieut. J. S. Doddridge and Sur. R. E. Leobetter were affected by liquor to a noticeable extent, but were not intoxicated in the ordinary meaning of the tenn, and there Is no evidence that the other parties were affected by drink ing"
 The disturbance arose when Capt Rob- ert F. Waynne, commanding the marine guerd of the Chicago, seeing Doddridge
 T ,lL krlI io,,t.. cafe, gave a hail, unusual :n this place, resembling "Yi Si, M Si, Yi!'
 Lieutenant Doddridge and Surgeon Led better ran toward Captain Wynne, unset ting chails and two small tables. A large crowd and the police immediately sur rounded Lieutenant Doddridge, who en- desvored to explain.
 Doddridge Roughly Treated.
 Then the crowd pressed on. shouting and gesticulating, and were not well controlled by the police. The police seized Lieutenant Doddridge, and, apparently at the same time the crowd attacked him. Lieutenant Doddridge was roughly handled by the police, and 1t required the assistance of citizens to effect his arrest. But there were no means of distinguish ing the persons assisting the police from those who were wantonly attacking the prisoners.
 Captain Wynne, Surgeon 4Iedbetter, Naval Cadet J. Press and Langley marines all attempted to aid Lieutenant Doddridge, retaliating for the assistance of the civilians, but not attacking the po- lice. .. r..
 At the station 1t Is added in the finding of the court. there was much excitement. The crowd was at first allow ed therein. and no one appeared to be in high authority. The crowd shouted and gesticulated and the officers made demands and protests Their treatment in prison was severe and extremely humil- ating, but there is no evidence that the prison rules were exceeded"
