a pair of steel knuckles. The testimony
IN the case was to the effect that Mar
tin became angry at Attorney Knox
and started to butt him. The attorney
said that he regarded the Negroes
head as a deadly weapon, and
that to defend himself and prob
ably save his life he dealt him a
few blows with steel knuckles. Evil
dence was adduced which went to show
that Martin had at different times
'.butted" people. The judge gave a
verdict in favor of the defendant, rul-
ing that. under the circumstances, he
regarded the negro's head as danger
Gus and deadly weapon. and that the

THE CLOSED SHOP.

resolved to demand the closed shop

This, is in effect. demand that no
privat te citizen shall be employed for

nnless lie be member of trades

the President and Congress shall vio-
late and annul the constitution of the
United States.
As far as the delegates to the Bos-
ton convention can do so, the 2, 600. 900
American citizens claimed as members
of the trades unions in the federation
have been put in position of opposi-
tion OF the constitution of the United

The resolution passed by the Amer

BEETS VS.. CANE.

This has long been a moot question
that while pure beet sugar gives exact
lv the same chemical ANALYSIS as pure
cane sugar, many persons have thought
that beet sugar was less sweet than
cane sugar. 1t has been stated. fur
ther that beet sugar would not sue
cessfully make some of the more delic-
ate preserves and jams and English
manufacturers of these are said to
prefer cane sugars instead. 1t has
been reported that in Germany they
cannot make as good home made can
dy with beet sugar as with cane sugar
The beet sugar people who have in
vestigated this matter claim unanim-
ously that these statements are untrue
SO far as pure beet sugar is concerned
that if there be anv truth in the
statements it comes from the use OF
imperfectly refined beet sugars and
could readily be avoided. To over
come these fears of some of the more
timid users of sugar, the American
Beet Sugar company in California and
the Los Alamitos Sugar company. also
