DEFEAT CUBAN
RECIPROCITY.
This Is the Battle Cry of Beet Sugar
Men Who Will Fight Proposed
Reduction on Tariff.

Beet sugar men, interested in the home
production of the staple, last night at
the Raleigh expressed to Representatives
in Congress from Michigan. Utah, and
New York their desires for the defeat
of Cuban reciprocity.
Prominent capitalists from the three
States, whose money is invested in the
product, took this opportunity to state
that the growth and success of the sugar
industry in the United States depends en-
tirely upon maintaining Cuban tariffs as
since 1897.
To Fight Reduction in Tariff.
As shown by the beet sugar raisers, the
situation has now become an actual
struggle for existence, and 10 sentimental
reasons will prevent a relentless warfare
being waged against Cuban growers OF
sugar who seek a reduction in tariff
rates.
The representatives present at the con-
ference were Rodgers and Powell of New
York, Cutler of Utah, and Henry Smith,
Samuel Smith. Joseph War/en Smith,
Henry Harrison Aplin and Edward l.. IL.

EACH GOT HOLD
WRONG CORPSE
Result Of Error in Tagging the Re-
mains of Two ColOred
Women.

The misplacing of tags on the remains
of two colored women who died at the
Freedmans Hospital yesterday got two
prominent local undertakers into some
what of a dilemma.
Martha Washington and Dora Jeffer-
son died at the hospital and undertakers
were engaged by the respective friends
of the deceased to take charge of the re-
mains. 1t is the custom at the hospital
to place tag bearing the name of the
deceased on the remains of all patients.
so that the undertaken will have no trou-
Bile in identifying the corpse he has been
sent to remove
Tnes Bore Wrong Names.
In the case of the corpses of these two
colored women. the tags as a means of
Identification did not amount to very
much, as the remains of Martha Wash
ington had been tagged Dora jefferson.
while the remains OF Dora Jefferson were
tagged Martha Washington.
The undertaken entrusted with the
burial of Martha Washington was the
first to arrive, and as result of the
mistake, took the body OF the jefferson
woman to his establishment, and after
! emhalming il, placed 1t in a coffin.
The undertaken engaged to take charge
of the remains of Dora Jefferson received
orders TO embalm the body and place it
in Theoretically sealed casket for ship
ment TO New York.
Friend Discovers Mistake.
AS he was about to carry out his in
structions a friend of the deceased called
to make some slight changes in the ar
rangements. Before leaving, she asked
permission to view the remains.
Imagine the surprise of the undertaken
when the woman gaspingly informed him
that he had gotten the wrong corpse.
He Immediately communicated with the
hospital. On learning of the mistake, the
authorities started out to right the
wrong.
An Exchange Was Made.
The body was located at the other un-
dertaker's establishment, who supposed
he was caring for the remains of Martha
Washington. An exchange of corpses was
made. and each will now be buried ac-
cording to the original programme.
