BEET SUGAR men
Withdraw Opposition to
Cuban Treaty.
BOWED TO INEVITABLE
MICHIGAN PEOPLE DID NOT AT
TEND MEETING.
Association Will Oppose Any Reduc-
ton So Far as the Philippines
Are Concerned.

All opposition on the part of the Ameri-
can Beet Sugar Association to the ratifica-
ton of the Cuban reciprocity treaty was
withdrawn at final meeting of that body
held last night at the Arlington Hotel.
There had been several meetings during the
day without result. After the meeting
Henry T. Oxnard, who had just been re-
elected president of the association, de-
.clared that the action. although not unani-
nous. might be considered the action OF
the association. Senator Burrows. who
acted as spokesman for the delegation to
the association for Michigan. said that the
statement of Mr.. Oxnard in this respect
was undoubtedly correct. However. the
Michigan people had declined to ATTEND the
meeting at which the action was taken.
The senator indicated that some action
might be taken today on the subject by the
Michigan beet growers. The hesitancy of
the Michigan people in participating in any
action of this Kind is explained in the fact
that at meeting in that state only short
time ago resolutions were adopted reiter-
ating the hostility Of the state association
to the Cuban treaty.

Importations of iron and steel into the

JEALOUS OF VANDERBILT,
Cause of Brooklyn Broker Assault
ing His Wife.

New York, July 3L.-In the action for
separation brought by Florence p.
F'riedlander against her wealthy hus
band. Broker Edward ]. Friedlafider,
in Brooklyn, it was sworn to that Mr..
F'riedlarder, being jealous of William
X. Vanderbilt. had assaulted his wife in
the street and had been locked up in
consequence.
Mrs. Friedlander said that she had
given her husband no cause for jeai-
ousy; that she had met Mr.. Vanderbilt
while a fellow-voyager with him on a
transatlantic steamship and that there
the acquaintance had ended. But her
husband did not believe this and, accus-
ing her of having a clandestine appoint
ment with him, had beaten her, she said.
The action was scheduled for trial be-
fore Justice Gaynor in Brooklyn this
afternoon, but at that time the plaintiff
announced she wished to discontinue it.
Justice Gaynor took the papers and re-
served decision Friedlander is a stock
broker at No. So Hart street, Brooklyn.

$53, 544,272. These large importations of
iron and steel have occurred in periods
of exceptional business activity, but on
no former occasion have such large i'm
portations been made in the face of so
great home productions of iron and
steel.
In 1891 when the importations were
two million dollars greater than in the
year just ended. the total home produce
ton of pig iron was only 81 million
tons. while that of 1902 was over IL
million tons. or double that of 1891. In
the period from 1880 to 1888. when the
imDortations of iron and steel were
larger than those of 1903. pig iron pro-
duction only averaged about million
tons per annum. or less than one-fourth
the annual production of the present
time; and in 1872 and 1873, when the
importations slightly exceeded those OF
1903, the pig iron production averaged
only ~ million tons annually, against
II millions at the present time.
This large increase in the importation
of iron and steel is chiefly in the par

Judge Marcus Kavanaugh Of Chicago
has just handed down an opinion, which
If sustained by the higher courts. will
have a far reaching influence upon la
Dor controversies. Judge Kavanaugh
upholds the right of the labor union 10
station pickets about an establishment
where a strike has been declared and
holds that the strikers are within their
rights when they endeavor to dissuade
others from taking the jobs which they
themselves have forsaken In addition
to this he holds that Imprisonment of
strikers on an affidavit that they have
violated an injunction is Illegal The
judge is Republican and an Irishman
and has been on the bench nearly 20
years. He was district Judge at Des
Moines, Iowa, before going to Chicago.
This decision is so at variance with the
large majority of those hitherto reach
ed by the courts on the same subjects,
that doubtless the outcome will be
watched with considerable interest by
both sides of the labor controversy.
