OPPOSES PHILIPPINE BILL.
Wisconsin Sugar Manufactures Before
Senate Committee.

washington, Feb. 2Richard c..
Wagner, owner of sugar factories at
Chippewa Falls and Menominee Falls,
Wis, opposed the Philippine tariff bill
during the day in the hearing before
the senate committee on the Philip
pines. He declared that it cost 3A
cents pound to produce sugar in the
United States and that Philippine SUI
gar could be delivered in the interior
Of the United States for 2 cents a
pound if, the duty was taken Off,. The
passage of the bill, he said, would de-
stroy the sugar interests of the United
States within ten years at the outside
be Induced to invest in the face Of
such competition and therefore prog
ress in the way of reducing the cost
of production would be at standstill.
He took the position that with the en-
couragement of protection the cost of
production in this country would be
lessened at least / cent a pound with
in the next two or three years.
This statement was based on the
fact that farmers of Wisconsin have
taken so kindly to beet raising that
the factories are no longer compelled
to solicit acreage contracts. Mr.. Wag-
ner said the farmers now average IS
a ton for beets, making the gross re-
ceipts per acre about SIS, and that
with improved agriculture equipment
they could afford to raise the crops for
much less.

EVIDENCE REVEALS THE FACT.
Suit Against Transit Company sug.
qested by Rival Concern.

Milwaukee, Feb. O. Attorney
Charles Quarles, special counsel for
the government in the prosecution of
the action recently instituted in Mil
Waukee against the Milwaukee Refrig-

both by letter and by personal inter
view, suggested to Attorney General
Moody the advisability Of testing the
Elkins act to ascertain the legality Of
accepting commissions from railroad
companies by refrigerator lines.
These two facts were fully estab-
lished by the testimony of Mr.. Phillip
before Special Examiner Kurtz in an
sWer to CALLING fire of questions put
to him by Attorney James Flanders, of
counsel for the Pabst Brewing COM
pany, one of the defendants in. the
suit Instituted by the government
1 Mr.. Philip stated that Attorney
General Moody, during an interview,
Informed him that he had no money
with which to pay extra counsel to as
sist in prosecuting the cases for the
government, whereupon Mr.. Philipp
proposed to pay such portion as could
not be paid by the government.

called the convention to order.
The report of the committee on per-
manent organization was presented by
A. l. Vorys of Ohio, naming Governor
John A. Johnson of Minnesota as
chairman and Frederick H. Nash of
Massachusetts as secretary. The re-
port was adopted unanimously.
Governor Johnson, in taking the
chair, spoke briefly, expressing the
hope that the action of the convention
might have the effect of restoring con-
fidence in relation to insurance mat
ters throughout the country
IF we shall place one wise law
upon the statute books of this Union,
one wise law that will inure to the
common good" he said, "this meeting
will not have been held in vain.'
Committee to Draft Legislation.

manent organization recommended
that committee OF fifteen be appoint
ed by the chairman of the convention
to formulate bill or bills with a view
to the establishment Of a uniform sys
tenn of statutory regulation of legal re-
serve life insurance companies in the
several states. This committee of
fifteen is to report at an adjourned
meeting of the present convention at
a time and place to be hereafter deter
mined
A motion by Samuel B. Davis, in.
surance commissioner Of Nevada, that
a committee on credentials be appoint
ed by the chair, brought out de-
mand from E. w. Scoville of Pittsburg,
president of the National Association
of Life Underwriters, for voice in
the affairs of the convention. Mr..
Davis declared that he desired to
limit the voting power to the state in
surance commissioners and attorneys
general.
Mr.. Scoville declared that he was
present by special invitation and re-
quested rights equal to those of such
state officials as might be present.
Some trouble had been anticipated
on the question of representation and
a wave of subdued excitement came
over the convention when it was
preached. Chairman Johnson an
nounced the committee on credentials
and that body went into executive ses-
sion at once.

Coal Combine in Gotham.

New York, Feb. 2.-An investiga-
tfon concerning the dealings of the
large coal companies with the city has
been ordered by Mayor Mcclellan.

result OF information communicated to

named in bid for coal asked for by
the board were about 81 per ton
higher than the price charged on sales
to individuals. The bids were for
$6.34 and $6.44 per ton.

Five Hundred Chicago Printers Ask
to Be Sent to Jail.
Chicago. Feb. 2.-Five hundred
members of Typographical union No.
16 voted unanimously to go to jail As
they are on strike they estimated they
might save the $1,000 fine assessed
against the union by Judge Holdom il
they were permitted to work out the
amount in prison.
After the resolution was adopted a
committee was sent to Attorney w. H.
Barnum to learn if there was any hope
for the strikers breaking into jail and
in that manner satisfying justice. They
were disappointed when their attorney
told them that if the fine was upheld
by the higher courts it would have to
be paid and that there was no pros
pect OF the debt being liquidated by
the strikers going to Jail.
