HEARINGS TO-DAY
WERE ON SUGAR
Claims for Free Sugar Based
on Theory of Equal Pro-
duction Cost

Washington, Nov. 16.-Consumers Of
sugar in the United States were par
ticularly interested in the hearing to-
day before the ways and means COM
mittee of the house of representatives
for the prosecution of arguments for a
higher or lower tariff on sugar and it's
manufactures. The fight for the free
entry of sugar was made before the
committee today on the claim that the
consumer does not get any benefit
from the present duty. 1t also was
claimed by those who are opposing the
so-called sugar trust. that the present
rate of duty on raw sugar no longer
is required for the protecting of the
American sugar growers, on the
ground that sugar is raised in this
country as cheaply as abroad.

onism on the part of the conserva-
tives and even an insurrectionary
movement is conceivable because the
death Of the powerful woman who
dominated all and the weakling en-
peror sweeps away the old palace cor
ruptions.
Tsze Hsi An (or western empress)
was born November II, 1884. She was
the child of poor people who lived in
Pekin. At an early age following q
common practice in China, she was
sold as slave by her parents on ac-
count of their poverty. She became
the property of a famous general, who
enchanted with her great beauty,
adopted her and offered her as pres
ent to the reigning emperor, Hsien
Feng. She so charmed the emperor
by her looks and intelligence that he
made her his secondary wife and on
her bearing him son, the future en-
peror Tung Chih. raised her to the
first rank. On his death she became
the regent of the empire, administer
Ing the national affairs with more
vigor than any of her predecessors.
Her authority was complete over about
$4,000 officials and over the welfare
and lives Of the vast majority of the
inhabitants of China, who number
close to 270,00000O.
1t had been said of the dowager en-
press that she would long outlive the
emperor. Only few months ago she
appeared to be enjoying the best of
health and her hair retained its
black monaghan gloss, her eyes their
Manchu luster and her hands firm
grasp of the scepter During her long
control, she had frequently, to her
grand councillors, proposed to resign
her authority, but she received from
them the reassurances which she COW

NEGRO BURNED
BY FURIOUS MOB
Two Officers Killed Before the
Torch Was Applied to the
House

Okmulgee, Okla, Nov. 16-After an
afternoon Of the widest scenes ever
beheld in Okmulgee during which two
officers of the law and their murderer,
a negro, was burned to death by fu-
rious mob which applied the torch to
the house in which he had taken ref
uge, Okmulgee last night was at the
fever point of excitement and more
trouble is feared. Governor Haskell
has dispatched ten companies Of mil
itia here to assist in keeping order.
The dead: w. E. Robinson, sheriff
of Okmulgee county; Henry Klabor,
a patrolman who was assistant to him
and Jim Dockery, negro. The trou-
BILE arose when the officers came upon
Dockery and another negro fighting
in the st. Louis and San Francisco
station. The officers notified the man
that they were under arrest. Dockery
resisted and in the melee that fol-
lowed, drew his revolver and shot the
sheriff and officer to death. Holding
the crowd at bay with his revolver,
Dockery made his escape and took ref
uge in nearby house. Enraged by
the shooting, mob of 300 quickly
formed and surrounded the house.. A
mob, most of whom appeared to be
armed, poured volley after volley into
the building Dockery all the while re-
turning the fire. A number of per-
sons in the crowd were wounded from
Dockery's bullets, one, it is believed,
fatally. A bullet finally struck Dock
cry, killing him instantly. The mob,
wild with delight, applied the torch
to the building and the negro's body
was burned to crisp. City officials
are fearful that there will be trouble
even after the arrival of the militia.

nearly three days have elapsed since
Francis ]. Heney was shot down in the
court room by Morris Haas, who COM
mitted suicide in his cell at the county
Jail Saturday night, the seven ply
sicians In attendance upon the prose-
cutor of bribery cases agreed today
that the long and anxious interval
has developed not a single unfavor-
able symptom resultant from the bull
let wound in his head.
There is neither fever nor indication
of blood poisoning, the patient has
shown no unexpected loss of strength
and between the periods of long and
refreshing sleep last night he asked
for and was given small portions of
liquid nourishment.
1t is even said that Heney's vital
powers were unimpaired by the course
OF the bullet now lodged In the mus
cles Of the throat and this in view Of
the demands upon his voice by the
prosecution in which he is engaged
will be welcome news to the assistant
district attorney wnen 1t has been
more definitely ascertained.
There remains still the difficult and
delicate task of extracting the bullet
which has been exactly located by
means of series of X-ray photo
graphs. This may be attempted some
time today or If Heney's condition con-
tinues to Justify this delay it may be
postponed until tomorrow in order to
permit an increase of strength as a
reserve asset against the operation.

NO DIFFERENCES
IN EXISTENCE
Japan and United States Are
Getting Closer Together
Says Washington

Washington, Nov. 16-The atten-
tion Of the administration was today
directed to the publications indicat-
ing 1t to be the intention of the United
States government to force Japan's
hand with q view to securing assur-
ances regarding her intentions to-
wards Manchuria. Denial was made
both at the white house and at the
state department that there was any
friction with Japan or that such re-
quest or demand had been made.
All that has been done Is to make
an effort to secure q more definite
statement from Japan touching her
position IN M1nchuria, she having
given more definite assurances to the
other countries having interests in
Asia than to the United States. The
statement from the white house is as
follows:
The statement that there has been
any friction between the state depart
ment and the Japanese government is
entirely erroneous. On the contrary
sAo ASAatAOAb USlWc0u Iu0 Two govern.
ments have constantly been growing
closer and the understanding better.
The statement as to there being any
friction is not merely unwarranted but
the direct reverse of facts"
This statement was issued from the
state department:
There is no foundation whatever
for the statement that any demand or
request or suggestion in any form has
been made by the state department to
Japan tosdeclare or define it's position
IN China or regarding China. Japan
has repeatedly and recently, in for
NAL agreement with Russia and France
and England, declared her purpose to
maintain the independence and integ-
rity of China and her policy is we'll
known to be in entire harmony with
that Of the United States. In fact the
relations between Japan and the Unit
ed States were never closer or bet
ter than they are at this moment and
there Is no question whatever at issue
between the two countries"
