Timely Information
Concerning Sugar

| Special Correspondence OF The Tribune.
Washington, March 23
ssTSHE WORLDS Sugar Production and
Consumption, 1s00.l000' Is the title Of
monograph just issued by the Treas
ury Bureau of Statistics 1t discusses
| tile sugar production and consumption of the
world during the past century and especially
| during the last half century in which the bur
den OF sugar production has been transferred
from cane to the sugar beet, and in which the
world has SO largely increased its consumption vi
sugar. The worlds sugar production has grown
from l,1oO,OO tons in 1910 TO S,s00,000 tons in
1900. During the same period the worlds popu.
lntion has grown according TO the best estimates,
from 95O0O0,0N to about 1900, 100000. Thus,
| sugar production has increased about $50 per
cent. while population was increasing but about
90 per cent. Coming nearer home and consider.
ing the United States alone, it is found that the
consumption of sugar which in 1850 WIS only -
pounds per capita, was in 1901 over Is pounds
per capita.
One especially striking fact shown by the sta.
tistics presented in this study is the rapidly i'll.
creasing proportion of the worlds enlarged sugar
consumption which is supplied by beets. Ac.
cording to the figures presented by this study,
beets which supplied in 1910 less than per cent.
of the worlds sugar. in 1900 supplied GT per cent.
Of the greatly increased consumption; while cane,
which then supplied 9j per cent of the worlds
sugar consumption, now supplies but S3 per cent.
Stated in quantities, it may be said that the
worlds cane sugar supply has grown from !, 100,
600 tons in 1910 to 2,sj0O0O tons in 1900, an in.
crease OF 100 per cent; while that of beets has
grown from $4,000 tons in 1910 TO $3.50, 900 tons
in 1900, an increase Of II 800 per cent.
The figures above quoted include that portion
which enters into the worlds statistical record
of sugar production, and does not include the
large quantities of cane sugar produced in India

IRISH MUSIC.

o the glamour OF Irish music
Aud its sinuous, winding ways;
o the sob and the sigh and the mourners cry
In the revelling Uthm's maze;
o the pang of the hGartstrings riyen
And the smile on the face OF pain,
And the melody strong as the thrush's song
That thrills in the winter rain
o the glory OF Irish music
When the elang OF its Splendor breaks
Like the mellowed fall OF trumpet sail
On the breast of the hlied lakes
o the sweep OF the song oi battle;
o the crash when the ioeuan Weld.
And the minstrel brown with his oakeai crown
Alone ON the moont ield
o the soro@ OF Irish music
And the wall for the pale faced dead.
When the shamlocks green on the moor are seen
All stained with a sOdden redl
For dance as yon will in measure,
The griei that you cannot quel
Ia the minor strain OF your quick refrain
Resounds like tollng bell.

- ATURDAY brought to a con-
clusion two murder trials 'ro-
~ mantle in their interest, and
with results singularly at
variance. The release of Florence
Burns, accused of the murder of Wal
ter Brooks, is hardly surprising, judg-
ing from the run of the testimony in
the newspapers. The effort to identify
ner as the young woman with whom
BROOKS was carousing shortly before
the discovery of his dead body in
painstaking on the part of the district
attorneys office: but its results in
spired little confidence. The fact that
The relations between the murdered
man and Florence Burns had been
questionable, did not suffice TO convict
her Of his assassination. In the alb
sence Of tangible proof connecting her
even remotely with the crime, her re-
lease was inevitable. 1t having been
announced by the district attorney that
no further attempt will be made to
hold her for trial. there remains no OBJ
stacle to her proceeding to elevate"
the stage.
Upon equally slender evidence, just
the opposite result was reached at
Elizabeth City. n. c., in the cOnvic-
ton of James Wilcox for the murder
of Nellie Cropsey. Most readers recall
that on Nov. 20 last Miss Cropsey,
beautiful young woman, prominent in
SpllfhaIn Snpiatv rr,vcf
iously from her home in Elizabeth City.
and that extraordinary efforts were
made to find her. For more than u
month, there We're almost daily rumors
of the location of the missing woman:
and it was not until two days after
Christmas that her dead body was
found in the river near her home. The
case against Wilcox arose out of the
circumstance that he was the last per-
son seen with Miss Cropsey prior to
her disappearance. They had been
lovers and he had called at the Crop
sey residence the night that Nellie left
it. When he arose to leave that even
ing at 11.05 o'clock, he asked to speak
TO Nellie alone in the hall. He arrived
at his own home, few blocks away,
at ll.50 o'clock. In that interval of
time Nellie disappeared and Wilcox,
when on rrial could give no satisfac-
tory account of his whereabouts. 1t
was proved that Nellie had been struck
on the head With some blunt instru-
ment before her body had been thrown
into the river. but as we recall the
testimony printed in the newspapers,
during the trial, there was no direct
connection of Wilcox with the crime,
beyond the circumstantial incidents
Just mentioned, and no motive shown
beyond the fact that he and Miss
Cropsey had had one of series of
lovers titfs.
In the case of Florence Burns, con-
viction would not have been expected
even though proof Of guilt had been
clear and unbroken but it is a little
tiisconcertng to think that a first de-
gree murder verdict can be returned
by an American jury on the scant evil
dence apparent from this distance in
the case of James Wilcox. A pretty
woman, no matter how vicious, is gen.
orally sure of acquittal, if in her be-
half plea of sympathy and mans
perlidy can be introduced But the OPP
poste extreme seems to be illustrated
too vividly in the Elizabeth City trial. |
