RESTS WITH FARMERS
Whether Beet Sugar Factories Shall
Remain With Us.
VARIOUS SCHEMES ADVANCED
Best Plan is to Give Farmer Stock In
Institution, Says Factory Manager
Transportation Difficulties Overcome
Several May Close Down.

Bay City, Mich, June 15.-Beet
sugar interests are casting an anxious
sye to windward these days, for the
weather man will have to be good from
now on if they are to have anything
approaching a prosperous season. The
beet supply has come to be a very seri-
ous problem with Michigan factories,
and the opinion is growing that COM
pany cannot operate successfully il
compelled to contract each year for
It's supply, in competition with other
factories.
The manager Of one of the largest
plants in the Saginaw valley when
asked to give his views on the situa-
ton said:
"The beet sugar industry can be car
ried on profitably even at the prevail
ing prices for the product. A 600-ton
factory, if honestly built with an hon
estly capitalized company behind it,
can be put into commission for $780,
900. With an adequate supply OF beets
it should produce 100000 pounds Of
managed the net profit is " cent per
pound, a conservative estimate. This
means net earnings of $4,000 year,
or 10 per cent on the investment.
Farmers Form Combine.
Some of the factories have been
mismanaged and some have started
out without sufficient capital, but the
chief difficulty has been in regard to
the beet supply If the farmers see
the factories are making money, they
form combine and put price on the
beets that prohibits profitable opera
tion. A rate of $3.50 ton for beets
on basis Of II per cent sugar is rea-
sonable figure. There are twenty fac
tories in Michigan and twelve Of these
are grouped in the district known as
the Saginaw valley. The American
Sugar Refining Co., which controls
nine Of the Michigan factories, has
sought to overcome the difficulties OF
competitive contracting by districting
it's plants, not permitting one to en-
croach upon another's territory. This
was a good idea as far as it went.
"The companies that started In to
raise beets on their own hook met
with disastrous failure.
"The QEastion Of the raw material
will have to be solved before the in
dustry can be carried on with any as
surance Of success. The company at
Salzburg, across the river, seems 10
have hit upon the best eXpedient, that
Of enlisting the farmers as stockhold
ers. In this way mutually of inter-
est is established between the factory
and its beet supply, which is of inn
mense advantage A farmer is given
an allotment of stock, with the priv
ilege of paying for it in beets, and the
arrangement has proved very success
full
"The transportation difficulties are
being partially overcome by means Of
weighing stations in the beet growing
territory.
"The plant of the Detroit Sugar
Co. at Rochester will not be operated
this year and will be removed to some
other location for next seasons CAM
paign Other factories may close this
year and some of those buildings may
never be finished There will prob
ably be a considerable readiustment
before the industry settles down upon
a profitable basis in Michigan"

worn-out all the time. In a large pro-
portion of cases when women are weak,
rundown and falling off in flesh and
looks, the root of the trouble can be
traced to womanly diseases which under

this is that women who have been cured

STILL HOPE FOR GORNIAN.
Democrats Want Him for National
Chairman, With Taggart in Charge
| of Western Headquarters.

New York, July 20.-There ia
belief among the Democratic politi-
clans who yet linger about the Hoff-
man House that Senator German is
still a possibility for chairman of the
national committee. No one seems to
be authorized to speak for the Mary
land Senator, and those who are in
a position to know all that has taken
place in recent conferences will not
state his position.
Both candidates on the national
ticket are from the east, and it is
said that to take the chairman of the
committee from the same section will
look like ignoring the west, a section
in which electoral votes are sought.
Mr.. Taggart arrived in the city today
and met many of the Democratic
leaders here.
Senator German left for Atlantic
City, and D. B. Hill returned to Alba
ny.
1t is not believed that Senator Cor
man will allow his name to be used
to defeat Taggart, but those who want
German hope an understanding may
he reached which will result in the
that Taggart will be placed in the
charge of the western headquarters.
Senator Davis and National Com
mitteeman Mack returned this even
ing. Senator Davis will spend the
night here. and tomorrow morning g
will go 20 Bedford Springs, Virginia.
where he will meet National Commit
teeman Jeffrey, of Pennsylvania, and
other prominent Democrats.

Paris. July 20.-The text of Foreign
Minister Del Casse's note addressed u
the vatican was communicated to the
council of ministers today. 1t creates
a decisive issue, asking for withdraw
al of the letters by which the vatican
called for the designations of Bishops

Otherwise all relations between France
and the Vatican will be broken off and

TEXTILE WORKERS STRIKE.
Thirty Thousand Employees Affected
The Cause is a Reduction in Wages,
Recently Announced.

Fall River, Mass, July 2O.-Unless
the cotton mill managers Of this city,
who operate what is known as union
plants abandon their announced inten-
ton of inaugurating on Monday next
a new scale of wages, which would
reduce the earnings of their employees
II 1-2 per cent, $1,000 operatives will
stop work following the strike vote
cast tonight by the Textile Workers
Union. q
BY a vote of 1910 to 396, the union
men decided to strike Monday, disre-
garding the suggestion of the textile
council that a strike. was inadvisable
at this time.
The question of striking was voted
upon at meetings tonight by five sep
arate unions Of the mill workers. Two
of the organizations. the carders un-
ion and the spinners union. voted
against the strike, but they are bound
by two-thirds vote of the textile work
ers' union, Of which they are MEM
bers. and will walk out with the weey-
ers, the loom fixers and the slashers
Lenders. .i
1t is the general belief in the city
tonight that the mill owners will re
consider their decision to reduce
wages. and so avoid a strike. This
belief is based on the argument of the
union leaders. that the cotton and
cloth markets are in such conditions
that a shutdown at this time woul l
be ruinous to the manufacturers.

DAVIS THE GUEST OF PARKER.
Other-Mr. Mack on the National
Chairmanship.

Esopus, n. Y, July 20.-Former Sen
ator Davis the Democratic vice pres
idential candidate, arrived at Esopus
today accompanied by National Com
mitteeman Mack, and D. ]. Campau, of
Michigan. They were driven at once to
Rosemont. Judge Parker and Senator
Davis had never met before. Mr..
Mack introduced the candidates and
they warmly greeted each other.
The party was divided up
The party then divided up and Judge
Parker and Senator Davis withdrew to
the south end of the veranda, where
they conferred for while.
Judge Parker himself said:
The notifications of Senator Davis
and myself will take place in our res
pective states. This is all we will say
at this time
Later he decided positively that his
own notification would take place a:
Rosemont. 1t is likely that Senator
Davis will be notified at White Sulphur
Springs, that place being more conve-
niently situated than Elkins, the candi-
dates home town.
National Committeeman Mack, while
here today, talked freely of the situa-
ton with reference 10 Mr. Murphy anu
Tammany Hall and their attitude to-
ward the campaign and the national
ticket. He scoffed at the idea that there
was any sinister significance in the fail
ure of Mr.. Murphy to send congratula-
tionS or other messages to Judge Par
ker.
MIR. Murphy will be found loyalty
supporting the ticket" he said. Tam
many is one of the organizations that
can be relied upon to get out its vote.
LAS for Mr.. McCarren, I do not deny that
there is a rivalry between him and and
Mr.. Murphy, but they are both good
Democrats and there is no reason why
their feelings toward each other should
interfere with the success of the ticket.
Asked about the national chairman
ship Mr.. Mack repeated his hope that
Senator German would be induced to
take it. Some one asked if it was no;

be chairman with Taggart in charge i'll

THAT would be an admirable arrange
ment," said Mr.. Mack.
