Took 76 Pounds Of Sugar, Last
Year, for Every Such Tooth
In United States.
USED e1a BILLION POUNDS.
One-Fifth Domestic, One-F1fth From
Colonies, Remainder Imported From
Foreign Countries.

Washington, Feb. s.--"The average
citizen of the United States seems to
have consumed one-half his own
weight In sugar in the year just ended"
says statement issued today by the
bureau of statistics of the department
OIL commerce and labor. The average
per capita consumption was 76 pounds.
The amount of sugar consumed was
SIX and one-half billion pounds, at
cost of over 5000. 00O. 600
or this enormous consumption one
NTH was produced In this country.
another fifth was imported from our
island possessions, and the remaining
three-tifths, or $4,000, S56, 661 pounds, from
foreign countries.
The quantity of beet sugar produced
in the United States was 672. 900 600
pounds. showing a remarkable Increase,
and for the first time exceeding the
production OF the product from cane.
There was an increase OF go per cent
IN the production of beet over cane
sugar from 1900 to 1906. -
Rapid as the increase In sugar pro
duction in the United States has
been III recent years, II has not by any
means kept pace with the Increased
consumption. In the last 10 Years
there has been an increase in the con-
sumption of this article OF 2,024.sl6.-
$50 pounds. 1t being more than three
times as great IS the increased home

Rep. MondeII Discusses the Cues
ton in Connection Suspen-
sion of Land Laws.
NO IMPUGNING OF MOTIVES.
Order of Withdrawal Was Neither
Wise Nor Necessary--DisposaI
OF Coal Lands.

washington Feb. S.-The Limitations
of federal authority" was the subject OF
a speech delivered today In the house
by Mr.. Mondell, OF Wyoming. which
dwelt especially with the withdrawal
of coal lands from entry.
He stated he had no thought of i'm
pugning the motives OF any executiy,
officer in connection with the with
drawals, but that this was not a cues
ton as TO the good faith Of public Of
ncials, nor OF the wisdom OF land laws
but OF the authority of the executive
departments to modify, amend and an
null acts OF Congress.
Mr., Mondell stated that 10 remain
silent In the presence of the far reach
ing effect Of suspending OF the land
laws might be constructed into an ac-
quiescence In their validity, and IL not
challenged these acts will be cited as
precedents for further extension OF the
executive power IN suspending the on
eratons OF laws.
He contended that while the question
OF authority for these acts was tho
most important one In view of the
great injury that had been done set
lieih ana lIlOSf htthlIlR TO develop the
west. and which would inevitably fol-
low the suspension of land Jaws over
large areas. the question OF the wisdom
or necessity for these wholesale with
drawals and SUSPENSIONS was also i'm
portant. he declared It would have
been neither wise nor necessary to is-
sue the orders IN question even had
there been authority for so doing. ami
pointed out that while $1,000, 600 acres
IN the states and all of Alaska hal
been Withdrawn. the government had
only disposed OF 100000 acres under

In view OF these facts he suggested
that even had II been within the author

times more coal land than was entered

scale II would take over 800 years to

into consideration the millions OF acres

intermittent INSANITY
DOES NOT EXEMPT MURDERER

San Francisco, Feb. S.--An opinion
was rendered in the supreme court to-
day holding that two commitments to
an insane asylum do not exempt MUIR
derer from responsibility for his crime
nor uphold his plea that at the time OF
the homicide was insane. This interest
ing decision was rendered I'm the case q
Frank Willard. who in 1908 shot and
killed Sheriff Smith of Mendocino coun-
ty. He had been arrested on the charge
of insanity was before the court and
adJudged insane. when he suddenly
leaped to his feet. ran from the court
room declaring that he was not insane.
The sheriff pursued him and was killed.
Willard escaped TO the mountains, was
captured and Immediately sent to the
asylum in which he had been confined
on two prior occasions. After 10 days
confinement he applied for writ q
habeas corpus. which was granted. and
he was placed on trial for murder. con-
victed and given the death penalty.
From this he appealed and the su-
preme courts decision now is that even
IL he had periodical attacks OF insanity
he was responsible at the time of the
homicide and must therefore suffer
death by hanging.
The decision was written by Justice
Lorigan ana WAS concurred in by JUS
tices Shaw, Sloss, Henshaw, Angelotti,
and Mcfarland.

LEASING OF PUBLIC LANDS
FOR GRAZING PURPOSES.

washington, Feb. S.-Irhe senate COM
mittee on agriculture is preparing to
consider a resolution looking to the
leasing of public lands for grazing pur-
poses A large delegation of eastern
cattlemen is already here to support
the measure.
The effort will be to have a provision
covering the point Incorporated in the
agriculture Appropriation bill as an
amendment, the text of which has al
ready been proposed by Senator Bur-
kett.
The amendment authorizes the presi-
dent to from time to time establish
grazing districts upon the unreserved
public lands by proclamation, and it
proceeds;
"Thereupon. the secretary of agricul-
ture under the rules and regulations
prescribed by him. shall execute the
provisions of this act and all other laws
affecting the grazing or use of public
lands within such grazing districts, ex-
cept such laws as affect the surveying,
prospecting, locating. entering. relin-
gushing, reconveylng. certifying or
patenting of any lands within such
grazing Districts appoint all officers
necessary for their administration; reg
ulate their use for grazing purposes;
protect them from depreciation ana in
jury; restore and improve their graz
ing value; issue permits TO Craze live
stock thereon for periods OF not more
than 10 years. giving preference to
homesteaders. and when practicable, to
present occupants OF the range who
owned improved ranches or who have
provided water for livestock grazed up
on the public lands, and charge and
collect reasonable fees for such graz
ing permits, as is now done for the use
Of the forest reserve lands, products
and resources. based upon the grazing
value of the land In each locality"
The question will be made the SUBJ
ject of a hearing by the committee nexs
Monday. The measure will be opposed
upon the ground that II It becomes a
law II will give the big cattle men a
